Chapter 40: Drowning
Now that someone has finally come to visit the door, I can liberate myself for a while.
Xiao Hong swore that now he is his savior.
When she went out and saw her cousin who stepped into the yard, she could only say in her heart: he was really a lifesaver.
It's a pity that one of them may want to take away her sister's big-tailed wolf, she has to watch a little, and if necessary, she has to beat the mandarin duck.
"Come in, please." Xiao Hong saw that Xu Xinning was still carrying two net bags in his hand, which contained two packets of milk powder and a net bag of half-green and half-yellow mangoes.
Now the traffic is not very convenient, this season, they can see melons, pears, late peaches, watermelons, but rarely see mangoes.
Of course, the rarer the fruit, the more expensive it is.
Xiao Hong was a little greedy: "You guys are too polite, why did you take so many good things." ”
Xu Xinning put the two net pockets on the table: "It's us who are here to disturb." ”
After speaking, he saw the test questions and the draft book on the table, and finally found an opportunity to talk to Xiao Fang: "Are you already reviewing?" Then I'll have to work hard when I go back. ”
After Xiao Fang said hello to them, he was very diligent to wash and cut the melons that he picked early in the morning, put them on the table, and heard his words: "It's time to work hard, school will start soon, and the third year of high school is the most important year." ”
Yan Hong also looked forward to his cousin being admitted to university, and he also looked at Xiao Fang, who persuaded his cousin to be motivated, and said seriously: "You really have to focus on studying first and try to be admitted to university." ”
"University can broaden your horizons, study for a few more years, and have more opportunities to show your ambitions in the future."
Xiao Hong didn't expect him to be able to persuade people to be so motivated, and he was a little ashamed for a while.
In fact, she always thinks that she can make money, so when the clothing market opens, she can go to wholesale, open a store to earn money, buy a house and a car, and live a life without worrying about food and drink. 】
Now I continue to study because of my grandmother's expectations before her death, because the wholesale clothing market has not opened yet, and because she doesn't want to make too hard money.
But now, she admits that what Yan Hong said makes sense, and it is always a good thing to read more.
Xiao Fang glanced at her thoughtful sister before she said in a crisp voice: "What Brother Yan said makes sense, we will keep it in our hearts." ”
She usually persuades Xiao Hong to review carefully, but she always feels that she doesn't pay much attention to it, but now she listens to what Yan Hong says.
Of course, this is a good thing that she is happy to see, so she smiles and beckons them to eat melons.
At this time, Yanyan came in with two fishing rods, and after calling them out to her sister a little shyly, she whispered shyly: "Do you still want to go fishing?" ”
"Yes!" Yan Hong took the fishing rod she brought: "You have worked hard in your studies, and you have to take a break once in a while, now take us to fish first, shall you?" ”
Xiao Fang took a small wooden bucket and a small hoe, and took them to the pond to fish.
Although the village is in the mountains, because of its special geographical location, there are reservoirs here, because there are many ponds and streams.
When they went, there were five teenage children in the pond touching the snails on the side, and when they saw them coming, they looked at them curiously, and then warmly beckoned Yanyan to go into the water to touch the snails.
When Yanyan saw her little friend, she also took off her sandals and went into the water.
The pond is only about two acres, not particularly large, but the scenery is very good.
The wind on the pond is rippling, the lotus leaves and lotus flowers are swaying, and the children are laughing happily.
Xiao Fang is still very familiar with the situation in the village: "This pond is relatively partial, and it is also Uncle He's house, mainly to store water, which is convenient for watering the pear orchard here. ”
Xu Xinning was a little itchy when he saw the water: "Is the water deep here?" I can't swim, but I want to go down and touch the snails. ”
He thought that fishing was an old man's hobby, but he thought it was quite interesting to touch snails.
Mainly in the summer of the town, there were children who went to bathe in the river and ended up drowning and losing their lives.
After that, both his grandparents and his parents kept an eye on him in the summer, so much so that now that he is now older, he still can't swim.
Xiao Fang was a little surprised to hear what he said, after all, they are in the countryside, close to a place with a lot of water, and most people will dig a few times in the water.
But thinking of myself, I have been weak since I was a child, and my parents did not let me go into the water.
"You can go down and walk around the side, as long as you don't go to the middle."
Xu Xinning took off his shoes and socks, pulled up his pants and went into the water, and was very confident: "I will definitely be able to touch the snails that we are going to eat at noon today." ”
Xiao Fang pursed her lips, and especially cooperated with carrying a small wooden barrel to follow him on the shore: "The snail can be seen on the shore, or on the stone wall, where the water is shallow." ”
When Xiao Hong heard what he said, he clasped his hands to his chest and whispered: "Listening to his words, you know that your fingers don't touch the spring water, and the snails that you touch are best to be raised with water for a few hours to be delicious." ”
Yan Hong was digging earthworms with a small hoe, and when he heard her words, he couldn't help but smile: "He really doesn't understand, he just wants to go down and play in the water." ”
What's more, there is still Xiao Fang on the shore to accompany him.
He quickly found a few earthworms and started fishing.
It's a pity that after more than ten minutes, he still found nothing.
Xiao Hong doubted his skills, but comforted him: "There are not many fish here, let's fish in another place in the afternoon." ”
Yan Hong originally wanted to smoke, but when he saw the little girl sitting next to him, he plucked a dog's tail and put it in his mouth, and teased himself: "It's okay, anyway, you don't expect to eat the fish I caught at noon." ”
"Uncle went to collect the cage early in the morning, and the fish we want to eat today are already available." Xiao Hong saw that he could make a joke, and also laughed and teased: "If you have good skills, you can take the fish you caught home and give it to your grandparents to drink." ”
Before her words fell, he floated down, and he quickly raised his rod, and there was a carp the size of a palm on the hook.
Yan Hong was in a good mood: "Haha, borrow your auspicious words." ”
Xiao Hong's eyes were hot, and he also sat on the grass, picked up another fishing rod and hooked the bait, and also started fishing.
Unfortunately, fishing is not so easy.
Either the rod is fast, the fish has not yet been hooked, or the rod is slow, and the bait has been eaten.
Seeing that Yan Hong on the side had already caught another crucian carp and a few small miscellaneous fish.
This comparison is obviously about to be slapped in the face.
But she has a way out.
Xiao Hong pretended to look at the sun in the sky and said, "Oh, it's not early, I'll go back and prepare lunch first, and you can go home in half an hour." ”
Of course, Yan Hong would not make fun of her, in fact, he was more willing to be alone: "Okay, thank you for your hard work." ”
When Xiao Hong turned around and was about to leave, she heard the children's cries: "Come on, Xiao Ming is drowning..."
