Chapter 3 Uncle Uncle
"Yu'er, wake up, if you don't get up again, your father will set off." Liu Shiyue shook her daughter's body dotingly and patted her face gently.
Zhaoyu, who was half-asleep and half-awake, got up quickly, rushed to the courtyard before he had time to freshen up, and saw that his father, who was sharpening his knife, was not ready to go, so he turned around and went back to the house with confidence.
"My mother always scolds me, it's still early." Zhaoyu returned to the house and stuck to Liu Shiyue like a koala, maybe her strength was too strong and threw Liu Shiyue on the bed at once.
"Yu'er, the early birds have something to eat, breakfast is ready for you, get up quickly." Liu Shiyue gently stroked Zhaoyu's hair and said.
"Uh-huh." Zhaoyu agreed, but she hugged her mother's hand and didn't mean to let go at all.
"Heyγγγγγγ" Liu Shiyue had no choice, so she had to gently pat Zhaoyu's back while humming a ballad, the ballad only has a tune, and the words are different every time, Liu Shiyue once said with a smile that she also listened to her mother's hum like this at the beginning, as for what the words of this song are, even Zhaoyu's grandmother doesn't know.
Zhaoyu listened to her mother's humming song, and hugged her mother's arm tightly, and fell asleep after a while, I don't know what kind of dream she had, her long eyelashes kept flashing, Liu Shiyue always wanted to kiss her, and she was afraid of disturbing her daughter's dream, so she stared at her daughter's delicate face intently, full of love and satisfaction.
"What? Failed again, right? β
Zhao Wenwu quietly walked into the room, looking at the mother and daughter lying on the bed very funny, now Zhaoyu is ten years old, as a father, Zhao Wenwu will only come in when Liu Shiyue is in Zhaoyu's room.
"Hmm." Liu Shiyue looked at her daughter dotingly, and couldn't help nodding, this is Zhaoyu's unique time to return to the cage, and it has been like this every day since she can remember, Liu Shiyue has never felt troubled and bored.
"The water by the pond is still a little deep, you and Brother Yongquan should pay more attention, especially Yu'er and Erzhuang, don't have them to fight, in case the boat capsizes, it won't be good. If you get more fish, you will give it to the eldest brother of the Liu family, and Sister Gu's body is not very good these days, so you must adjust her body before you release the mountain, otherwise the mother and daughter will not be happy. Liu Shiyue whispered.
"Well, don't worry, I know it." Zhao Wenwu promised, and couldn't help but lean over and kiss Liu Shiyue's face.
Liu Shiyue blasted him out coquettishly, for fear that her daughter would see her and laugh at herself.
When the early morning sun shines into Longbei Village, the small river that runs through the village also begins to be cheerful, and the earth warms up, although the mountain is still barren and desolate, and the eyes are full of withered yellow, but if you look closely, the grass roots have been covered with green grass and wild flowers, and everything is full of vitality and is quietly growing.
"Dad, when will my slingshot be ready?" Zhaoyu happily walked in front of the four of them with his roots in his arms.
Gu Yongquan smiled and said:
"The slingshot that your father made for you is really amazing, it is a bow made of catalpa wood after drying, alkali boiling, carving, shaping, grinding, soaking oil, boiling wax and other complex procedures, and then found the skin of the old ox to make a pocket, even so troublesome, your father has to find the deer backbone to make the string of the slingshot, good guy this set down a whole year of tossing, I know that this is the heart of the beloved daughter is stunned, I don't know I thought your father was going into the mountains to fight monsters."
"Haha, my Yu'er naturally deserves the best, but this deer backbone is too troublesome, and I will look for it when I return from the mountain this year to sell mallets, last year Zhao Er always shirked and couldn't find it, which made me a little upset." Zhao Wenwu didn't take his friend's sarcasm to heart, and grinned greatly.
"Brother Erzhuang, are you going to follow Uncle Yongquan to release the mountain this year?"
"Of course, when I go into the mountains, I will catch a little fox for you and come back, just to be the companion of that male." Erzhuang smiled innocently.
"Daddy~" Zhaoyu hurriedly walked a few steps after hearing Erzhuang's words, grabbed one of Zhao Wenwu's arms, and shook it coquettishly.
"Don't even think about it!"
Zhao Wenwu resolutely refused and strode away with Gu Yongquan.
"Daddy, please, I will be obedient and will never make trouble for you and Uncle Yongquan!" Zhaoyu begged Zhao Wenwu while trotting.
"If I believe you, the sun will rise in the west." Zhao Wenwu smiled and carried the fishing net, enjoying the coquettishness of his daughter.
"It's called Uncle."
"Uncle Yongquan!"
"Uncle!"
"Uncle!"
Zhao Wenwu was helpless, he didn't expect Gu Yongquan to be so calculating, just because of a title, he actually spoke with Zhao Yu.
Longbei Village is surrounded by mountains, and the only road to the outside world is a stone staircase road built by generations of villagers, and even then it is very steep, especially in winter, when the snow-covered mountain road disappears, and then the place becomes a small world isolated from the world.
The small stream in the village was a small waterfall that flowed down from the mountain, and the waterfall splashed down on the boulders, and then began to become docile throughout the village, until the end of the village was blocked by a steep rock, and a pool of water was formed, and then it went underground, and no one knew where it flowed.
The water of this pond is green and clear, the area is not large but about ten meters deep, and the villagers who have drowned to catch fish have also drowned, and the adults of Longbei Village rarely let their children come alone without adult care, in the spring leisure time, Zhao Wenwu often meets with Gu Yongquan to catch fish here, the two of them have excellent water nature, and they have been dealing with this pool of water since they were young, and they can catch some big fish every time.
Today, the two of them took two children to carry a big bamboo cage, and they wanted to catch a few more fish to satisfy their hunger, after all, on the days when the snow closed the mountain, everyone ate stored dried meat, and there was very little fresh game.
There is a small boat floating above the clear pond, which was made for the villagers by Zhao Wenwu and Gu Yongquan when they were idle, and it is still floating on the pond today.
Gu Yongquan untied the rope that tied the boat, jumped up, and jumped onto the boat very dexterously.
"You two, stay for a while, just be responsible for picking up fish on the shore, don't be naughty, Zhaoyu remember? Erzhuang looked at her. Zhao Wenwu was very uneasy and admonished.
"Got it, Uncle Wu." Er Zhuang replied honestly.
"It's called Uncle." Zhao Wenwu corrected.
"Oh, Uncle Wu."
"Traitor!" Gu Yongquan felt that his son had been raised for nothing, and his daughter-in-law had rebelled first before he could write a word.
"Haha, good son, Erzhuang is good!" Zhao Wenwu laughed heartily and jumped on the boat.
