Ergou stood in the water, using bamboo branches to cut the water surface and stir up a series of water droplets. The water droplets formed a beautiful necklace in the air, reflecting the early morning sunshine, as beautiful as gems.
Watson held the fishing net in his hand and rushed upstream from the downstream.
The water drops falling into the water made a series of crisp sounds, and the sunlight was scattered by the ripples, as if the entire creek was rippling in the sunlight.
Ergou's bamboo branches crackled loudly on the water surface, causing the fish in the creek to run wildly in fright, and many of them dived into Watson's fishing net.
Watson looked at the fishing net in his hand and smiled.
"Hurry up, lift up the fishing net!" Ergou yelled, running over to help carry the fishing net to the shore.
This net caught a dozen small fish.
Xiaolian carried Zhulou over from the stream and watched Watson and Ergou throw the small fish in the net into the bamboo basket. She giggled and said, "Tonight there are fish again." ."
While Watson was catching fish from the net, he looked at her and said with a smile: "Let's catch more and let you eat enough today!"
Xiaolian smiled and placed the bamboo basket with fish by the stream to continue raising it, then clapped her hands and hid in the shade of the tree.
The sun in these dog days is very fierce.
Ergou swept out like a gust of wind, and slapped the bamboo branch in his hand on the water downstream.
The water splash has not yet fallen, the ripples have not yet had time to spread, and the small fish have not had time to disperse after being frightened. Everything seems to be still, only the water drops make a tinkling sound as they drip.
The spring flows on the stone.
The wind blew across the creek, and the small fish swam away in fright at the two dogs.
Everything seemed to come alive. The fishing net in Watson's hand and the drop of water seemed to be still, lying quietly in the stream, waiting for the frightened fish to dive in.
Ergou's bamboo branch just hit the water surface again.
The two dogs crossed the stream in an instant and jumped from the upper stream to the lower stream, and then continued to drive groups of small fish and shrimps upward.
Watson stood in the water, watching the little fish rush into the net, and watching Ergouzi jumping over with joy.
Xiaolian standing on the shore also cheered. This is the most innocent childhood, this is the best partner, and this is the happiest moment.
As before, the two successfully cooperated and successfully caught a net of small fish.
After catching several times, Xiaolian saw that the bamboo house was full of small fish. She patted Ergou on the shoulder and said, "Brother, that's enough."
Ergou knew what she was thinking, looked at her and said with a smile: "Do you want to eat the kiwi fruit on the tree? Tiansheng and I will pick it, and you can watch the fish here!"
Xiaolian squinted her eyes and smiled: "Go quickly, there is a tree in front of you, I'm afraid I can pick dozens of them back."
"Sister Xiaolian, wait!" Watson and Ergou climbed up the slope beside the stream.
The two dogs were much faster than Watson. Before Watson could reach the bottom of the tree, the two dogs had already climbed up the tree.
"Watson, you picked it up under the tree!" The cooperation between the two is that the two dogs climbed up the tree to pick it up, and Watson stood under the tree to pick it up.
"You have to be careful, don't fall." Watson looked up at the two dogs on the tree and shouted.
Watson patted the branch and said, "Okay, just throw it down and I'll pick it up."
"Crash!" The two dogs shook the branch, and a kiwi fell down. Watson looked at the grass under the tree carefully and picked up the fallen kiwis one by one and piled them under the tree.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to finish picking all the trees today. Let's pick some first and come back tomorrow. There are still some that are not yet ripe." The two dogs on the tree looked down at Watson and shouted.
When Watson heard this, he couldn't help but look up, not believing that such a thing existed. If you can't finish picking them today, you can come and play tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
"Don't pick it if it's raw. You don't know how long it will take before you can eat it." Watson looked up at Ergouzi and said.
"Don't worry, I know!" Ergouzi's voice was filled with excitement.
"Today my eldest sister and eldest brother have become rich. They have small fish to eat and kiwi fruits to eat. I can give some to my master and let him have a taste of it." Watson said with a smile as he picked them up.
"Be careful under the tree and don't let the kiwi hit your head." The two dogs on the tree reminded Watson.
"Don't be afraid! It won't hurt even if you get hit. Hurry up, Xiaolian is waiting for us there alone." Watson murmured to Ergou while picking it up.
"It's almost done. I'll come down and help you pick it up together. After picking it up, I'll go back to the house. I'm a little hungry." As he spoke, Ergouzi slipped down from the tree and looked at Watson with a smile.
"Well, you can also help pick it up. After we finish picking it up, let's go down the mountain quickly. I'm also hungry when you yell."
"There are so many, each of us can share more than ten kilograms. I'm afraid we won't be familiar with them tomorrow, so why don't we come back the day after tomorrow?" Ergouzi said with a smile.
"That's natural. You come to my house and call me the day after tomorrow." Watson peeled off a ripe kiwi and took a bite. He looked at him and said with a smile, "This tastes delicious, sour and sweet."
"Oh, I'll take two pills first to fill my stomach." Ergou also laughed.
The two friends squatted under the tree and ate a few kiwi fruits. They wrapped the kiwi fruits on the ground in clothes and walked down the hillside.
...
"Sister Xiaolian, eat a few kiwis first, and wait for your brother and I to take a bath before going home. This body is itchy." Watson placed the kiwis on the bank, and then plunged into the creek. middle.
The kiwi fruit on the tree is losing its hair, and both Tian Sheng and Er Gou have a lot of it on their bodies. They need to wash it off quickly to avoid itching all night long.
"Okay, Watson, hurry up and wash up. Brother, wash up too. I'll take two pills and go home for dinner." Xiao Lian looked at the two of them and said.
Ergou looked at Watson and Xiaolian and laughed. "Do I look like a ticklish person to you?"
"I know you're not afraid, but I'm afraid!" Watson laughed while washing.
Ergou looked at Watson and said seriously: "One day, you will be better than everyone in the town! Also, my father said that I will also go to school in September."
"I will be the big brother then!" Watson laughed.
"You are always my big brother. Even if you are better than me, you are still my second dog's big brother!"
The two dogs crawled out of the creek, looked at Watson and said seriously.
...
Ergou and Xiaolian sent Tiansheng to the front of the Huang family's shop because they had to pick up too many things today, including fishing nets, bamboo baskets filled with small fish, wooden bows and bamboo arrows on their backs, and clothes wrapped in A big bag of kiwi fruit.
Sister Hong looked at the two brothers and sisters with their faces flushed from the sun. She turned around and went into the house to get two hard-boiled eggs and handed them over. She stroked Xiaolian's hair and said with a smile: "Eat quickly. I've been playing for so long. I'm sure So hungry.”
Ergou quickly peeled the eggs in his hands without saying anything, then handed it to Xiaolian's hand. He peeled another one and swallowed it in two mouthfuls.
"Thank you, Sister Hong. Watson and I picked a lot of kiwis. You are in for a treat." Ergou looked at Sister Hong and said.
Xiaolian ate carefully, finishing the eggs in her hand one bite at a time, then squinted her eyes and smiled: "Thank you, Sister Hong, Xiaolian is going home for dinner!"
Sister Hong patted her little hand and said with a smile: "Go back quickly and come back to play another day!"
Xiaolian Ergou waved to Sister Hong and Tiansheng, and the brother and sister walked hand in hand towards home.
Sister Hong carried the bamboo basket in one hand and the fishing net in the other, and walked towards the back of the house holding the kiwi shirt in her arms.
"It seems that you have gained quite a lot today. Go take a shower and change into clean clothes first, and I will heat up a meal for you." Sister Hong looked at Watson and said with a smile.
Tiansheng nodded and said with a smile: "I'll give Master Liu a few kiwis first, and then I'll take a shower when I get back!" Ignoring the itch on his body, Watson grabbed a few kiwis and ran to the blacksmith shop opposite.
Blacksmith Hu, who was taking a rest and sitting in front of the store, looked at Watson running over and asked with a smile: "How are you, did you shoot the bird today?"
Watson shook his head and replied quietly: "I'm still a little weak. Ergou and I picked some kiwi fruits. Master, let's have a try!"
After saying that, he put the kiwi fruit in his hand on the table, turned around and ran to the opposite side: "I'm going to take a shower and eat first!"
In the distance, Watson's cry came.
Looking at the kiwi in his hand, Tiejiang Hu laughed. "This little guy can still drink water and think about his source. It seems that the teacher in the school has taught him well and he is a sensible child."
After returning home, Watson took a bath under Sister Hong's help, changed into clean clothes, and then sat at the table and ate with a bowl in his arms. Sister Hong sat next to him and ate kiwi fruit.
"You caught a lot of fish today. You can fry a big bowl tonight, which is enough for the whole family to eat."
Watson glanced at the door of Liu's house and asked softly: "Where are my eldest sister and eldest brother? And where is dad?"
Sister Hong finished a kiwi fruit, looked at him and said with a smile: "This little thing is delicious. This is the first time this year. Your father has something to do on the street, and your eldest sister and brother are still taking a nap. "
When Watson heard this, he smiled and said, "My eldest sister and my eldest brother are scholars, and they have developed the habit of taking naps in the city."
Sister Hong looked at him and smiled and said, "You think you like sleeping more, okay? I don't care about you anymore. Wash the dishes after you're full. I'll give your mother two to try."
Watson replied while eating: "I know, I'll get two for Uncle Liu later."
"You, you are the only one who is brave when your father is not at home. When he comes back, I will see if you dare to talk to me while eating." While speaking, Sister Hong had already walked into Mr. Liu's house.
Watson looked at her back and muttered: "Sister Hong, you are still the same!"
It seems that only when Huang Yushu is at home, the family will obey the rules honestly. As long as he is not around, the family will laugh and laugh non-stop while eating.
Mrs. Liu laughed and scolded that there were no tigers in the mountains and the monkey was the king!
And every time Watson would laugh and say: "I am that monkey!"
Only Uncle Liu wouldn't mind. In his opinion, having rules and regulations is a good thing, but if you keep the rules every day, this life will lose a lot of fun.
Huang Yushu is different. As long as he is at home, everyone must abide by their own rules. And he repeatedly warned Watson that anyone who doesn't follow the rules is a wild child.
From childhood to adulthood, Watson has come all the way under this kind of education.
After finishing the meal and washing his bowl, Watson put a few kiwis on a plate and carried them to the front of the counter, placed them on Uncle Liu's tea table, looked at him and said with a smile: "Uncle Liu, eat kiwis." Kiwi fruit, Ergou and I just picked it."
Uncle Liu picked one up from the plate and peeled it open in his hand. After taking a bite, he looked at Tiansheng and said with a smile, "It tastes delicious. Fruits ripe on this tree are much more delicious than those picked and left to ripen." Got it!"
Watson smiled and said: "There are still some unripe ones on the tree. Ergou and I will pick them back in two days.
Uncle Liu looked at him and laughed: "I'm afraid that by the time you go there again, others will have picked them and run away. Anyone who sees the fruits on this mountain will pick that one."
"It's okay. At most, our trip was in vain... No, I will ask the two dogs to pick it back together and let it sit for a few days before eating it. We are not waiting to eat it anyway."
Watson looked at Uncle Liu and said excitedly.
"That's right. If you pick them back, they'll be cooked in a few days!" Uncle Liu looked at him and smiled.
"What are you talking about? Is there a stranger in our house again?" At this moment, Huang Yushu's voice came from the door of the store.
When Watson saw that it was his father who had returned, he stepped forward, took his hand and sat down next to the tea table. He pointed at the kiwi fruit on the plate and said with a smile: "Er Gou and I just picked it. Dad, try it!"
Huang Yushu reached out and picked one up, peeled it open in his hand, took a bite, looked at him and smiled: "Well, it's sour and sweet. It tastes good. Be careful next time when you climb a tree."
Huang Yuer is concerned that her son will not be harmed when playing in the mountains.
Watson shook his head and said with a smile: "I was picking them up under the tree, and the two dogs went up to the tree to pick them."
"Ergou, you have to be careful when climbing trees. Don't fall off the tree. He will probably go to school with you in autumn, right?"
Huang Yushu touched Watson's head and said with a smile.
"I know, I gave a few to my blacksmith when I came back." Watson thought that he was too tired today, so he would go over and continue practicing archery tomorrow.
Huang Yushu looked across the street, looked at the blacksmith who was swinging the hammer, looked at Uncle Liu and smiled: "The teacher in this school teaches well. He knows how to give food to the master."
Uncle Liu smiled and said, "Isn't this the shopkeeper? Did you teach him well?"
Huang Yushu smiled proudly, looked at Uncle Liu and said, "If the days are good in a few days, let's arrange the marriage between Sister Hong and Wang San. It's better to do it as early as possible. No one can be sure these days."
Watson, who was sitting aside, immediately became energetic when he heard this. He looked at the two of them and asked, "Sister Hong is getting married. I want to have wedding candies again. I want to give some more to Er Gou and Sister Xiao Lian."
Huang Yushu shook his head and said seriously: "You love eating sweets so much that your teeth will all rot in the future."
Uncle Liu smiled and said, "It's okay. Just remember to brush your teeth after eating the candy."
"He can't remember to brush his teeth twice a day, and you still tell him to brush them right after eating?" Huang Yushu didn't understand the virtues of his son. He thought to himself that if he didn't care about his behavior, he didn't know what he would become like in the future.
"Brother, where are the kiwi fruits you picked back?" The eldest brother Yi Sheng's voice came from behind the house.
When Watson heard this, he stood up and ran back. As he ran, he said, "It's on the ground. It's wrapped in my clothes. Brother, be careful not to step on it."
After a while, the voices of Sister Hong and the eldest sister Huang Yuanfang came from the back of the store. For a while, the whole backyard rang with the laughter of the three children.
"This kiwi fruit is delicious, Watson, you should also eat one!" The eldest sister picked up one and handed it over.
Watson looked at her and smiled and said: "There are many more on the mountain. I will go pick them all with the second follower tomorrow. Uncle Liu said they will be ripe after a few days."
"That's right. If you don't pick it tomorrow, I'm afraid someone else will pick it and run away in the next two days." Sister Hong looked at Watson and smiled.
Watson handed the kiwi fruit in his hand to his elder brother, hugged Sister Hong and whispered in her ear: "Sister Hong, I heard dad said that he would handle it for you and Wang San in a few days. It’s a happy event, I’ll leave some wedding candies for you when the time comes, and I’ll give them to sister Xiaolian.”
Sister Hong was stunned, stared at him closely and asked, "When did you overhear this?"
Watson looked at her and grinned: "What dad just said in front of me was not eavesdropping!"
When Sister Hong heard this, she blushed immediately, looked at him and said, "You just like to chew your tongue!
