After getting on the boat, Xu He asked the old boatman where there were more fish.
The old boatman said: "Of course it is a place with a lot of water and grass!"
Xu He asked him to guide the direction, and then led Li Sikui and the others to row the oars.
Of course, the little guy Li Sikui couldn't lift the oar, but he had to row even if he couldn't. He couldn't even push the oar hanging on the side of the boat.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t push it, the important thing is to participate.
The old boatman was behind the boat and controlled the direction, while the two of them paddled beside the cabin.
Li Sikui was quite excited at first. Everything here was extremely new to him.
But after a while, he got tired of paddling, put the oar aside and rubbed his sore arms.
Xu He then smiled and said, "So you only have this much strength?"
Li Sikui couldn't stand it when others said he couldn't survive. Hearing this, he grabbed the oar and started rowing again as if he was angry.
There is a saying that although this boy has a big temper, he also has a strong self-esteem. He saw big beads of sweat dripping down, but he still held on to the oar and refused to let go.
The old boatman saw him behind and thought that this young man from a rich family was really strange. The little boy tried hard to suck the milk and the oars moved, but the adults still told him not to let go. What on earth was going on? Touring the lake or bullying children?
Finally, we arrived at the place where the old boatman mentioned it. Sure enough, the fishing grounds that people seeking a living on the lake were looking for were different. There was a stretch of duckweeds and aquatic plants here, and most of all, there were hidden fish.
After setting the anchor, Xu He asked Li Sikui with a smile: "Junior brother, how are you? Do you want to rest?"
At this time, Li Sikui's arms were shaking like an electric fan, but he still said stubbornly: "If I don't rest, I want to fish!"
Xu He gave a thumbs up: "Okay, he is a man!"
After that, he took out the rice bran mixed with sesame oil and handed it to Li Sikui to teach him how to make a nest.
The earthworm was pierced again, and the two of them sat on the bow of the boat with a fishing rod each, waiting to catch fish.
Li Sikui's bamboo pole is short and thin, and the little man is holding it. This scene is so funny.
The old boatman shook his head as he watched. This was the first time he saw a rich family bringing their children out to play like this.
At this moment, the float on the water trembled slightly.
Xu He's eyes were slightly focused, and he waited for the float to tremble a few times, until it suddenly sank. He suddenly lifted the rod, and a small crucian carp was lifted out of the water by him.
The scales of the crucian carp shone in the sunset, and the struggling fish body caused splashes of water.
But the two people on the bow didn't care at all. Li Sikui was even more excited than Xu He. If it weren't for the fishing rod in his hand, he would have jumped up and clapped his hands.
After getting a crucian carp, Li Sikui looked at the small fish in Xu He's hand, his eyes full of envy and jealousy.
Xu He put the fish into the fish basket, turned to Li Sikui and said, "I've already harvested something, it's up to you!"
The little guy Li Sikui didn't reply. He pursed his lips and stared at the lake. Even though the refraction of light made his eyes swollen and sore, he still didn't dare to move.
After waiting for a long time, his float finally shook slightly, and Li Sikui was so excited that he wanted to lift the pole.
Unexpectedly, Xu He had been paying attention to his movements. He whispered: "Don't worry, wait!"
Li Sikui unknowingly began to obey Xu Heyan's advice. He held his breath and concentrated, and even his breathing became gentle.
Suddenly, his float sank to the bottom of the lake. Xu He said: "Put it up!"
Li Sikui had been waiting for a long time. Hearing this, he suddenly raised the pole. The weight coming from under the lake made him ecstatic at this moment.
"Don't get excited and lift the fish carefully..."
Li Sikui quickly calmed down and raised the pole again.
I saw another small crucian carp. Under Li Sikui's lifting of the pole, the fish left the water and landed on the board of the boat.
As soon as the fish landed on the boat, there was a crackling sound and a struggle.
This scene shocked the little Li Sikui and looked at the fish helplessly.
Xu He smiled and helped him take off the fishhook and handed it to Li Sikui: "Sikui, look, this is the fish you caught!"
"This is, this is the fish I caught..." Li Sikui looked at the fish in disbelief. He wanted to touch it but didn't dare.
Xu He simply put the fish in his hand.
Li Sikui felt the fish struggling in his hands, and for the first time he felt that the outside world was so interesting.
When he put the fish into the fish basket with his own hands, he immediately put the earthworms in and set the hook.
After half an hour, I don’t know whether it was the old boatman who chose the place better or the resources of this era.
The two of them caught more than 20 fish, which made Li Sikui, who was fishing for the first time, full of confidence and excitement.
Before the sun went down, everyone began to return.
Li Sikui chattered excitedly along the way. In just half a day, he had long lost the "little adult" look he had in the morning and looked extremely innocent.
At this time, Li Sikui was rowing [actually shaking the oar] and said loudly: "Brother, you are really amazing. You can even fish!"
Old boat man: "..."
Ding Ze: "..."
Xu He smiled and said: "You are pretty good too. You can catch so many fish for the first time!"
Li Sikui shook his head: "That's different. I learned it all from you. Besides, I don't know how to make fishhooks or floats. How about you teach me next time?"
Well, isn’t this a change?
Senior brother screams so smoothly!
When the two returned to the other courtyard, Li Sikui pestered Xu He and asked, "Senior brother, can we go fishing tomorrow?"
Xu He shook his head: "No fishing tomorrow!"
"Ah..." Li Sikui was extremely disappointed.
Xu He smiled and said: "I will teach you how to swim tomorrow!"
Li Sikui's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was obviously looking forward to tomorrow even more.
In the evening, Xu He personally taught Juaner how to make braised fish and poached egg crucian carp soup.
The fish he caught by himself tasted delicious. Li Sikui felt that today's dinner was much more delicious than the carefully cooked food at home, so he finished two bowls of rice directly.
After finishing the meal, Xu He said with a smile: "I will teach you an article today. Let's see if you can remember it tomorrow!"
Li Sikui was dumbfounded. Isn't this summer camp mainly about fun and fun? It’s so frustrating to study when you’re in high spirits!
At this time, Xu He said back: "I was walking by the Heng River, and there were two old men who divided the rocks (sitting on both sides of the stone) to fish. The first man had the most fish, and they were easy to catch. The second man actually caught it every day.
Then he threw his pole and asked Jia: "The bait is the same and the water for fishing is the same, so why are the gains and losses different?"
A said: "When I go fishing, I know that I am there but I don't know that there is a fish. My eyes are not blinking and my spirit does not change. The fish forgets that it is me, so it is easy to take it. My mind is about the fish, my eyes are about the fish, and my spirit changes." Then the fish will die, and it will be a shame to gain it!\"
B follows his instructions and takes several fish in a row.
Yu sighed and said, "What a purpose! What you meant is true!" I dare to remember. "
As Li Sikui listened, he thought of his own fishing experience in the afternoon. Combined with the words in the article "the eyes do not blink, the mind does not change, the fish forgets that it is me, so it is easy to take", he seemed to feel something in his heart.
Xu He looked at the little doll deep in thought and twitched the corner of his mouth: "Well, the main focus is on entertaining and educating, and the teaching effect is good!"
