Huang Yuanfang looked at it and said with a smile: "Don't be playful all the time. If it doesn't work, go catch the shrimps. Sister Hong is waiting for us to go back for lunch. Don't let your parents scold you."
In response to such complaints, Watson could only roll his eyes, stop paying attention to his eldest sister, stood up and rushed towards the water again.
There were no big waves this time. Watson held the small fishing net and slowly sank into the water like a piece of wood. Only a few bubbles emerged from the water. This time I didn’t even see any fish at all.
Huang Yuanfang was already lying on the ground laughing.
"No, I'm going to die laughing if I keep reading. Do you want me to go down and help you? If not, just catch the shrimps." Huang Yuanfang looked at Watson and said with a smile.
Watson glared at her and kept trying.
Again, again...
A splash, a ripple, the little fish enters the net.
The fishing net goes from bottom to top, so...
All I saw was a line of water splashing into ripples, and a net of panicked fish.
And these small fish were also covered by the fishing net in an instant, and the painting was completed in an instant.
Watson flew across the water like a little swallow, leaving behind a few fish that slipped through the net.
Just one step away from reaching the shore, Watson picked up the fishing net and drew a smooth curve on the water.
Then he jumped onto the shore with all his strength and landed firmly on the shore. In addition to dozens of small fish jumping around, there were also quite a few small shrimps in the net.
Huang Yuanfang applauded nearby, ran over to help catch the fish, and said with a smile: "Very good, I didn't expect you to be as good as Ergou and the others. From now on, my parents will have small fish to eat."
Watson shook his head and said with a smile: "I can't do my best. It would be great if I could grow to be as tall as my eldest sister."
"Then eat an extra bowl of rice later and grow taller soon, otherwise it won't be enough for anything you do!" Huang Yuanfang clapped her hands and smiled.
Watson put the caught fish into a bamboo basket and kept it by the stream, with a proud smile on his face.
After all, he is still just a child less than five years old, and he enjoys the unique happiness of a child.
After working hard for a long time, the two siblings collected their fishing nets and walked down the mountain humming a little tune.
Today's harvest is good, I can fry small fish for Sister Hong.
Watson looked at the eldest sister and asked: "Sister, bring eldest brother back next time."
...
A gust of wind blows, the shadows of the trees behind the house are dancing, and the fragrance of flowers floats into the house.
"oops!"
Watson yelled. He had been playing too wildly in the creek in the morning and his toes hit the rocks of the creek. He didn't feel the pain until now.
A drop of sweat fell from his forehead and fell on the dining table, breaking into countless small droplets.
Sister Hong looked at it very carefully, frowned slightly, turned to the kitchen to get a spoonful of tea oil, lowered her head and lifted Watson's legs on the stool, and gently wiped him.
This is a local method in the small town. Whenever you have a bruise or burn, apply the home-pressed tea oil on it and it will heal in two days.
Watson closed his eyes and carefully felt the coolness on his feet, as if his skin could breathe.
The water in the mountain stream can breathe, the small trees are breathing, the wind is breathing, and I am breathing too, as if I am wandering in the breeze.
Sister Hong wiped the oil for him, looked at Watson with his eyes closed and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, be more careful next time. You are not bad. The fish and shrimp you caught can be fried in a bowl at night."
Watson felt some coolness coming from his toes, looked at Sister Hong and smiled: "Sister Hong, you are so kind. When you have a younger brother, I will teach him poetry and calligraphy, and I promise not to bully him."
Ms. Liu, who was sitting nearby, couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "You will be the elder brother in the future, why do you think about bullying your younger brother and younger sister?"
Huang Yuanfang, who was sitting aside, smiled and said: "My brother performed well today. He looked like a little man. He even hurt his foot and didn't cry all the way."
Watson looked at her with a reluctant expression: "Sister, you will go back to the county town tomorrow. When will you go home? Remember to bring eldest brother back next time you come back."
Huang Yuanfang looked at him and smiled and said: "When summer is about to pass, your eldest brother and I can come back to play with our two younger brothers."
Watson glanced at Mrs. Liu and said with a smile: "Mom, will the third child be able to walk by the time he meets?"
Sister Hong took over from the side: "At least we have to wait until this time next year!"
Mrs. Liu put a piece of meat into his bowl and said gently: "Don't worry about your eldest brother and younger brother, and study hard with the teachers in the school. This is the business."
"Does it still hurt?" Sister Hong looked at him and asked distressedly.
When Watson heard this, he grinned: "It was very painful at first, but Sister Hong helped me apply oil, and it didn't hurt much anymore."
Sister Hong was stunned, looked at him and smiled: "Oh, you are the only one who can speak! No wonder even the teachers in the school like you."
Watson was startled, looked at her and replied: "As soon as Sister Hong said that, I remembered that I have to go back to school tomorrow. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to read the texts taught by my husband."
"Your father just asked for two days' leave for you. You've been staying at home for three days. If you don't go, I'm afraid your husband will come to your door." Mrs. Liu glared at him.
Watson took off his feet from the stool and put them on the ground. He said with a grimace, "Let dad carry me on his back tomorrow. It seems a little swollen and I can't fit into my pair of cloth shoes."
When Sister Hong heard this, she laughed and said, "Don't be afraid. Sister Hong will buy you a pair of straw sandals from the market later. They are durable and cool. You can still wear them in the summer."
Huang Yuanfang chuckled when he heard this.
Mrs. Liu couldn't help but laugh too.
Watson looked at the three of them with a sad face and said, "My feet are too small to wear straw sandals!"
...
Before nightfall, Watson's toes became swollen, and even after applying tea oil, they felt burning pain.
Without chatting with my family, I climbed up the stairs early, climbed into bed and fell asleep holding the quilt.
After breakfast the next day, Huang Yushu saw that Watson's feet were swollen. He thought that it would not subside in two or three days, and he could not delay the school class, so he carried him to the school.
"Dad, are you going back to Baiyu City today?" Hua Zaiyou asked Huang Yushu on his back.
"She has been back for a few days. I have to go to the city today to do errands and see her off." Without hiding anything from Watson, Huang Yushu told her itinerary.
Watson was startled and asked softly: "When dad is gone, who will take care of mom?"
Huang Yushu smiled and said, "Isn't Sister Hong still at home? I'll be back in two days. You go to school well. I'll call Wang San to pick you up at noon."
"I know! I asked my eldest brother to come back with my eldest sister during the holidays. I haven't seen him for a long time."
Lying on Huang Yushu's back, Watson whispered.
Huang Yushu smiled and said: "This is his home, where will he go if he doesn't come back?"
The father and son walked to the door of the school, and the husband happened to be standing at the door waiting for the students. Looking at Watson on the back of Huang Yu's book, the teacher smiled and said, "If it doesn't get better, just rest for two more days."
Huang Yushu looked at his husband and smiled and said, "It's okay. This guy went out to catch fish in the creek for fun yesterday and hurt his foot. I will have someone pick him up at noon, so you don't have to worry about him."
The teacher took Watson from Huang Yushu's back and helped him walk to the school. He smiled at Huang Yushu and said, "Businesskeeper, go and do your work. You don't have to worry about Watson after he enters the school."
"Sorry to trouble you, sir!" Huang Yushu waved his hand and said goodbye to him.
He still had to take his daughter to take the boat, so naturally he didn't dare to waste time. When he saw Watson entering the school, he turned around and left in a hurry.
"Watson, why are you so crazy? Why are your feet hurt?"
"Watson got an extra brother. He was so happy that he crippled his feet."
La, a young man in the same class, couldn't help laughing as he watched his teacher helping Watson into the classroom.
Watson frowned, too lazy to bother anyone, and lay on the table in a daze. Today, the eldest sister went back to the county town, and he wanted to go to see her but his feet hurt again.
Not long after dad came back, he had to go out again.
The night before yesterday, he heard his father chatting with Uncle Liu, saying that the waterway was not stable and he was afraid that his father would be in trouble.
Today's teacher did not teach a new lesson. He just reviewed "The Peach Blossoms" from the previous two days and asked Watson, who happened to be absent from class, to listen carefully.
...There is traffic on the streets, and chickens and dogs hear each other. Among them, the men and women are dressed like outsiders. His yellow hair hangs down, and he is contented with himself.
Mr. Jean read it through and then explained it carefully to everyone.
This article expresses people's ideals of pursuing a better life and their dissatisfaction with real life through the description of the peaceful, happy, free and equal life in Peach Blossom Spring.
At the beginning of the article, the peach blossom forest with delicious fragrant grass and colorful fallen flowers is used as a foreshadowing, leading to a simple and natural world.
Everything is very simple and beautiful, there are no taxes, no wars, no intrigues, not even a little noise.
The relationship between people is also so peaceful and sincere.
This imaginary paradise world is undoubtedly fascinating for people living in real life with frequent wars and constant bloodshed...
Watson, who was sitting below, held his little head in his hands and stared blankly at the gentleman on the podium, fascinated.
Looking at Watson's appearance, the teacher couldn't help but smile and asked: "Watson, after listening to the teacher's interpretation of the text, what are your thoughts?"
Watson looked at the teacher thoughtfully and replied: "I don't understand the text very well, but the Taoyuan that the teacher mentioned seems to be our Liexi Town. There is no war here, and the water bandits don't dare to go ashore!"
The teacher looked at him and sighed softly, and continued to explain to everyone: "Watson is right, the town now is like a peach garden...let us have a quiet life and student life." environment."
A child in the hall asked: "Sir, do you think the water bandits will come ashore and come to the town?"
The gentleman shook his head and said in a solemn voice: "It stands to reason that we are guarded by practitioners and the bandits dare not go ashore. But no one can tell what will happen tomorrow."
Another child asked: "Sir, is the Taoyuan in our text real?"
The gentleman smiled and said: "This is just a fictitious place. There may be many such places, just like ours."
"The text I'm telling you now doesn't require you to be able to solve the problems completely. Just have an image. When you grow up and go to school in Bai Jade City, the teacher there will teach you again."
Watson nodded and responded: "My eldest sister said that we need to lay a solid foundation with my husband first, so that it will not be difficult to learn in the county."
The teacher looked at him and smiled and said: "Watson, your eldest sister is the mayor's talented daughter. Maybe when she grows up, she will be a teacher in the school like me."
Watson was stunned, looked at the gentleman and asked, "Sir, is this girl also a gentleman?"
The gentleman looked at him and said seriously: "Why not? It is said that there is a female gentleman in Baiyu City."
"It seems that we are going to have two gentlemen in our family." Watson did not ask the gentleman again, but muttered secretly in his heart.
"Everyone study hard and strive to go to Vientiane City in the future. There is also the Royal Academy for you to study."
The husband thought of his own experience and couldn't help but say a few words of encouragement to everyone.
However, in Watson's eyes, it is his dream to go to the place where his eldest sister once studied.
The children in the hall were also moved by the teacher's words, and they all said that when they grow up, they want to go out of the small town to study further away and learn more knowledge, just like the teacher.
An originally boring class on poetry and poetry, under the teacher's lively speech, aroused the desire to learn among a group of friends, and they all expressed their intention to recite the song "The Story of a Peach Blossom" and read it to their future teachers.
Until many years later, he still remembered his teacher's lesson today.
