It's really bad to be called uncle by a little kid. He's obviously not very young, but he's being called so old.
Although Zheng Xiong's heart is old, he is definitely not old. Doesn't calling him like this just give him eye drops?
His face suddenly darkened, and soon it turned cloudy again. Zheng Xiong smiled brightly.
Seeing Han Yue'er chatting with her former acquaintances, she waved her hand.
"Do you have anything fun here? I just have some free time, can you take me to have some fun?"
The little kids who had already been bribed by candy came forward one by one and rushed to speak.
"Uncle, let's play bamboo horse! Let's see who can run faster."
"Do you have it? Let's take a look."
"Yes, I'll go home and get it."
"I have them too, and I have two more. Uncle, I'll take them both and give one to you."
"That's a good feeling, thank you."
Zheng Xiong showed great interest and followed a group of children out of the small courtyard and drifted away.
Seeing that Zheng Xiong was willing to play with the little kid, they all didn't take it seriously and just regarded him as a junior.
After leaving everyone's sight, Zheng Xiong began to let himself go.
When the bamboo horse came in front of him, Zheng Xiong lost interest.
I saw that the lower end of a thin bamboo was split and propped up, a bamboo tube was used as a wheel, and a stick was pierced through it.
The child rode on it, and the wheels it attached rolled as it moved forward, blowing up a wisp of dust.
While walking, he shouted "drive"
As the name suggests, it is simple and childish. Zheng Xiong pretended to play for a while, then stopped playing, shaking his head and sighing.
Seeing Zheng Xiong's appearance, the little kid put down the bamboo horse in his hand, ran to Zheng Xiong and said.
"Uncle, what's going on! Isn't this fun?"
This is what I was waiting for.
"Indeed, I have a real horse. Why don't you play with a bamboo horse? Just change it!"
Uh, you're just showing off! Looking at the carriage in the distance, the little kids were speechless and suddenly felt that the bamboo horse in their hands no longer smelled good.
"How about we go play diabolo!"
"It's not fun, is there anything else?"
"What about playing top?"
"It's boring to smoke. Let's change it."
"Push date core?"
"This is even more boring. We might as well play with a top!"
Seeing that all the games he mentioned were rejected by Zheng Xiong, the little kids were so anxious that they looked like little monkeys.
"Then what are you talking about? There is nothing to play!"
Isn’t this a trap? Zheng Xiong said with a grin.
"How about we go catch loaches."
The little kids curled their lips and sneered at Zheng Xiong's proposal with great disdain.
"It's the coldest month of winter, where are the loaches from? Catching small fish is just fine."
Zheng Xiong was not annoyed at being despised by a group of children and said happily.
"What are you doing with the small fish? It's not enough to fill your teeth. There should be a lot of eels in the fields now. Let's go and touch them. If we touch two, we can get extra food. What do you think?"
This suggestion was reliable, and everyone smiled when they heard about the extra meal.
"good."
Zheng Xiong was in a good mood and started humming unconsciously.
The children were curious as they listened to the humming, so they asked.
"Uncle, what are you humming? It sounds so good."
"This is called singing. Come on, I'll teach you how to sing. Follow me."
"The pond is full and the rain has stopped."
"The pond is full and the rain has stopped."
"There are loaches everywhere in the mud beside the fields."
"There are loaches everywhere in the mud beside the fields."
"That's not right! Aren't we going to catch eels?"
"Don't worry about the details, just keep singing along with me."
"I'm waiting for you every day, waiting for you to catch loaches. Big brother, okay, let's go catch loaches."
"Big brother, okay, let's go catch loaches."
"good."
A light singing voice echoed in all directions.
When the neighbors who were watching heard the song and saw the children and Zheng Xiong walking away, they thought they were going to catch loaches.
He shook his head and sighed to himself that this young man didn't understand anything, so he followed them.
In an open paddy field, a little kid rolled up his trousers and walked towards the field, turning over the mud with his little hands.
He was familiar with the road, and he knew at a glance that this was not the first time he had done this.
A little kid turned his head and saw that Zheng Xiong was not following him, so he asked doubtfully.
"Uncle, why don't you come over and join us!"
Zheng Xiong smiled awkwardly and walked to the field. The moment his fingers touched the water, he retreated and shook his head.
"I won't go. You compete. If you catch one, I'll give you twenty coins to see who catches the most."
Catching an eel costs 20 cents. The children were very enthusiastic. The cold field water could not stop their enthusiasm at all, and they all tried their best to touch the water.
After a while, someone touched it first.
Picking it up, he strode towards Zheng Xiong, showing off to Zheng Xiong, as if asking for credit and reward.
"Uncle, I found one, give it to you."
Zheng Xiong didn't take it seriously, took out twenty coins from his arms and handed it to him directly.
It's a bit unbelievable, but also natural.
It's unbelievable that it was given so easily.
Of course, adults would never lie to children.
He quickly collected the money, thanked Zheng Xiong, and immediately continued to devote himself to his fishing business.
Seeing this situation, the little boy seemed to have been given a shot of blood and accelerated the progress.
Where I just touched the eel, several children rushed over.
As we all know, eels spend the winter in the fields in nests.
Soon, an eel was fished out from that place again.
After searching this small area, the little kids came to Zheng Xiong to ask for credit and reward.
One of the children was quite eye-catching. He had two eels to himself, which was considered the best this time.
Zheng Xiong kept his promise, took out the money and distributed it to several people, and harvested five eels.
After a while, another nest was discovered, triggering a round of looting.
Zheng Xiong stood aside and reaped the benefits of other people's hard work.
Fortunately, my conscience was still intact, so a small fire stall was set up nearby for the little kids to warm themselves up.
At the same time, he set up a big pot and ordered the guards around him to clean the eels and heat the oil in the pot.
Add onions, ginger and garlic, stir-fry once and stew.
The scent is so fragrant that it’s hard not to see it.
The children looked sideways and swallowed.
But driven by the desire to make money, I still resisted the impulse.
After plowing one field, move on to the next field.
It didn't take much time to turn over a row of fields. At the same time, I was shivering from the cold, and my face turned red visibly.
Seeing that the little kids had reached their limit, Zheng Xiong quickly stopped and asked the little kids to come and warm themselves by the fire.
Somewhat reluctantly, but in Zheng Xiong's stern tone, he slowly walked over to warm himself by the fire.
Zheng Xiong was also bad. When he saw that the eel was almost cooked, he took out a piece and put it in his mouth. While eating it, he shouted, "It's so delicious."
Just these two words made the children so hungry that their stomachs growled and made a growling sound.
The effect is very good, Zheng Xiong is very satisfied.
After playing tricks on the child, Zheng Xiong was satisfied and divided the pot of eels.
