Chapter 174: Catching Fish and Knowing Words
When she got home, Wen Wan took out the flowers and plants that had been folded on the road and fiddled with them in a thin clay pot.
It was so quiet, as if nothing had happened on the road.
She repeatedly gave Wen Dahai a chance, but he didn't know how to cherish it, so he couldn't complain about her ruthlessness.
All the troubles around her are solved, and she is now a poor bastard.
It seems that it is still necessary to work hard to earn money.
"Sister, are you back?" Wen Ya led Wen Yang back from next door.
"Hungry, huh? I'll make you something to eat. ”
Wen Ya shook her head, "I'm not hungry, we ate at Grandpa Mu's house." ”
"Hmm~ Then I'll do it in the evening."
Wen Wan took the arranged flowers into the house and put them on the dining table, and the monotonous room instantly added a touch of color, like locking spring into the house.
"Sister, I'm ......" Wen Ya opened her mouth and paused.
"When did it become stumbling? What do you want to say? Wen Wan raised the corners of her mouth and looked at her gently.
Wen Ya suddenly hugged her waist and raised her little face, "I always feel empty in my heart, but now that I see you, I feel much better." ”
Wen Wan's body was stunned, and she touched Wen Ya's little head, feeling a little guilty in her heart, "Bored, right?" Sister taking you out to play? ”
"Okay, okay!" As soon as he heard that he was going to play, the little one clapped his hands happily.
"Do you want to go for wild vegetables, catch fish, or hunt?" In Wen Wan's eyes, play must have results, and this result is inevitably linked to food.
"Hunting?" Wen Ya wondered.
"Uh...... Let's go catch fish, hunt with you, you can't spread your hands and feet. ”
"Good! I'm going to call Xiaobai. ”
Looking at the little guy's bouncing figure, Wen Wan was a little relieved. It's nice to have a little playmate in my childhood.
Wen Wan found two slender wooden sticks in the firewood room, and then found two thin wires, bent them into circles, tied them to the sticks, and sewed a layer of gauze on them.
He made two simple fishing nets, carried buckets, and led the three children to the river.
It rained a few days ago, and the river was a little muddy, so Wen Wan didn't go into the water, but sat on the side and watched Wen Ya and Mu Bai.
"Do you two want to have a game and see who catches more fish?"
Wen Ya jumped happily, "Okay, okay!! ”
Mu Bai smiled: "Xiaoya, I must have caught more than you!" ”
Wen Ya raised her little face, "Hmph, let's see, I must have caught more than you." ”
"Don't talk big, I'll count you."
Wen Wan picked up the stones on the ground, smoothed the mud, and wrote the names of Mu Bai and Wen Ya on them with branches.
Wen Ya raised her eyes, "Sister, what did you write?"
"Mu, white, gentle, elegant." Wen Wan pointed to the words on the top with a branch.
Mu Bai is okay, he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he knows some words.
Wen Ya is different, although she has been smart and clever since she was a child, but because her parents are illiterate, she has nowhere to learn if she wants to.
She stared at her name with big eyes, and after a moment, she raised her eyes to look at Wen Wan, "Sister, how can you write?" ”
Wen Wan touched her nose, "I see it often, and it will be slowly." It's just that it won't be much. ”
This is the truth, many complex traditional characters, she can recognize when she sees them, but she can't write them silently.
"Are you ready?" Wen Wan looked at the two little ones.
"Sister, can I go into the water?" Mu Bai had already rolled up his trousers and was eager to try.
"Yes, but you have to test the depth of the water first, you can't go to the middle, and if there is any discomfort or instability, you must call me out loud as soon as possible. Got it? ”
The two little ones nodded obediently.
Wen Wan watched with some amusement as the two of them went into the water, each standing on one side.
His clothes were wet, but he didn't catch a single fish.
Wen Ya was a little deflated, slapped the water with a fishing net, and scolded in her mouth: "Dead fish, rotten fish!" ”
Mu Bai smiled, "Are there no fish in this river?" ”
Wen Wan sat cross-legged on the shore, supporting her face with one hand, "How could it not be?" Use your own brain, is your method not right? ”
Mu Bai scratched his little head, "Sister, people say that it is easy to fish in troubled waters, but when I look at it, I can't touch it at all." ”
Wen Wan sneered, "Then have you ever heard of scaring snakes?" ”
"What does this have to do with snakes?"
"This kind of fishing net can only catch small fish, not big ones. Small fish always like to drill into the soil, you are stirring, the fish can't run away desperately? ”
Mu Bai suddenly realized, "You mean, we scared the fish away?" ”
With a roll of his little eyes, Mu Bai stood still in the water, waiting for the fish to take the bait by itself.
On the other side, Wen Ya had climbed ashore and was holding on to the shore, stretching her net into the water, motionless, as if fishing.
The sky is high and the clouds are light, the spring breeze is warm, and the laughter of children is accompanied by the laughter of children.
No one shakes the chicken feathers, and lives their own little life, which is very comfortable.
Suddenly, Wen Ya shouted, Wen Wan hurriedly turned her head to look, only to see her carrying her small net bag, jumping up: "Sister, I caught two!" ”
Wen Wan examined it, lifted the branch and drew two strokes under Wen Ya's name.
After a while, Mu Bai also ran over, triumphant, "I caught three, Xiaoya, one more than you!" ”
"Awesome!" Wen Wan drew three strokes under Mu Bai's name.
Mu Bai stared at the strange shape, "Sister, how is this one you counted and painted?" ”
Wen Wan wrote a square 'positive' character on a tree branch in the open space on the side, "This is positive, square, positive value."
There are five strokes in one word, and two strokes are ten strokes, which are used to count at a glance. ”
The two children suddenly realized, wrote down the word 'zheng', turned around and went fishing again.
In one afternoon, Wen Ya fished twenty small fish, and Mu Bai fished twenty-two.
Wen Ya lost, and she pouted a little unhappily.
Mu Bai put his two extra fish back into the river, and inserted the extra two strokes with his toes.
smiled and said: "Xiaoya, I also fished twenty, we fished the same, we tied!" ”
Wen Wan glanced at Mu Bai, this kid, his emotional intelligence is quite high, he has been so good since he was a child, and he is much better than his brother.
She laughed, "You both won." ”
"Yay!"
The two little guys led Wen Yang away, and Wen Wan followed behind with a bucket.
The carefree nature of her childhood infected her, and she was in a good mood all afternoon.
Putting the bucket at the door of Mu's house, Wen Ya and Mu Bai pointed to the largest ones, arguing about which one they fished out by themselves.
Mu Bai shouted: "I caught this one." ”
Wen Ya pouted, "No, the biggest one is what I caught." ”
"You're not right, I clearly caught this one, I remember it very clearly."
"This fish has a white belly, it's the one I caught, and yours is the small one next to it."
The two of them took the lead, and in the end, Mu Bai shouted the loudest, and Wen Ya suddenly cried aggrievedly.
(Happy National Day!) )
