The summer heat has temporarily subsided due to the strong winds and showers for days. The sky is clear and cloudless; the lake is clear, and all living things are beautiful.
People were coming and going on Qingzhou Street, where the heat had temporarily dissipated, and there were many boys and girls playing in the dense jungle on the outskirts.
In a clear stream in the jungle, there are egrets wearing snow-white clothes, with snow-white hair and sapphire-like beaks. They fish in groups in the clear stream, and their beautiful figures are reflected in the clear stream. middle. Suddenly, a simple harpoon fell from the sky and competed with them for the small fish in the stream. The herons and the others were frightened and flew up, flying into the distance against the green mountains. Their white figures were like blossoming pear blossoms dancing in the sky. In the evening breeze.
Such a beautiful scenery rarely attracted the attention of the boys and girls who had just fished. A girl's annoyed voice suddenly sounded from beside the stream:
"Brother! What's wrong with you! You can't even catch a fish! Look, all the fish have run away!" Yue touched Twelve San's Xie Haoda. He was wearing thorn clothes and linen and holding a harpoon in his hand. He stomped his feet and said to Xie Haowen who was standing in the stream.
"I know...you little girl, don't be so noisy and anxious, isn't it just a fish? It's very simple!" Xie Haowen said as he slowly walked against the stream to where the harpoon was just now. go.
"Little sister, when it comes to catching fish, you actually count on your elder brother. You might as well count on me, your fourth brother." Xie Haojia, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old and very lean, like a monkey, stood with a smile. Xiubian said.
"It's just you, you still want to laugh at Big Brother. It's not like you haven't caught a fish for most of the day~ Also, I told you, you are just a little older than me, and we are about the same height. I don't recognize you. Brother, I am your sister!" Xie Haoda, who wanted to have a younger brother at his disposal, said with his hands on his hips.
"Tch... Dad said, a quarter of an hour older is also older. I am more than a year older than you, and I am your brother... If you have the ability, please ask Dad to bring a little brother back from outside~" Thank you Jia said as he rolled up his trouser legs and prepared to go into the stream.
"Hmph! Let me tell you, I went to Uncle Huo from the Gua stall to figure it out two days ago. Uncle Huo said that I will definitely have a blood-connected younger brother in my life~ You guys just wait and wait. ~Our father is so good-looking, and with us, he still looks like a young man... It’s true... I can’t keep it all... He can really find me a stepmother..."
"Xiao Wu! What nonsense are you talking about? The more you talk, the more boundless you are. Can you talk about this kind of thing casually? Do you think it's not tiring enough for dad to raise a few of us?"
"That's right, Xiao Wu, you are not sensible at all. When you go back, go and copy the Filial Piety Classic on dad's desk ten times." Xie Haoyuan and Xie Haoxue said one after another.
"You guys! Why are you like this! We agreed that we would catch fish together as a birthday gift for dad on his birthday. It's okay if you can't catch the fish. Now you want to punish me. What's the point?"
"Brother! Look at the second and third brothers!" Xie Haodao, who was very knowledgeable about current affairs, asked Xie Haowen, the boss of the family, for help.
"You girl, didn't you just dislike my elder brother because I couldn't catch fish? Why are you now asking for my help when you can't deal with the second and third brothers?" Xie Haowen was making fun of his younger sister, but then he He looked at his head, but said to the two brothers Xie Haoxue and Xie Haoyuan:
"You two, stop bullying my little sister. If you have time to argue with your little sister, you might as well catch fish for me. If you can't catch a fish and haven't studied for a day, dad will definitely be angry if he finds out."
"That's right! You two know how to bully me!" Xie Haoda said with a smile.
Xie Haoxue and Xie Haoyuan looked at their little sister's "dog fighting for power" appearance, looked at each other helplessly, and then said:
"I know, brother, we will definitely not bully my little sister."
After saying that, the five brothers and sisters continued to invest in their plan to catch fish.
But Xie Haowen, Xie Haoxue and Xie Haoyuan had no experience in catching fish at all. It was not easy to catch fish. In addition, there are often egrets coming to fish in this stream, so the five brothers and sisters , caught for a long time, until the sun came out, the fish baskets they brought were still empty, and their stomachs were also empty... only sweat... now like rain, slipped from both sides of their temples Go down...
"Caught! Caught!" Just when everyone was thirsty and hungry, and their endurance seemed to have reached its peak, Xie Haojia, who had the most experience in catching fish, suddenly caught a big and plump fish. Then, Xie Haojia As if he had found a treasure, Jia raised his harpoon and shouted loudly to the surroundings.
Everyone looked towards Xie Hao's house, and sure enough, there was a big, plump fish flapping on Xie Hao's harpoon, and the fish's scales were even shining in the sunlight at this moment, emitting colorful sounds. Light!
"Wow! Fourth brother! You are so awesome! You are worthy of being the disciple of Zhang Yuhu's daughter!" Xie Haoda stood on the shore and clapped his hands happily, and then he unceremoniously chased his fourth brother down the street. The story of Zhang Yuhu’s daughter was revealed!
Immediately, Xie Haojia blushed and looked at Xie Haoda with annoyance.
Xie Haoda also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and then smiled in a flattering way.
But fortunately, their three elder brothers didn't care about their fourth brother's emotional problems at the moment. All their attention was attracted by the fish in Xie Hao's hand!
"Awesome! Fourth brother! Work hard!"
"I didn't expect you, fourth brother, to have this ability! Come on, fourth brother! Whether we can give our father a birthday gift today or not depends on you!"
"Fourth brother! You are amazing!"
"..."
"..."
The three people from Xie Haowen praised Xie Haojia so much that Xie Haojia's face turned red and he had to bury himself in the water and continue to catch fish~
I don’t know if the praise from Xie Haowen and others has a magical effect, or if Xie Haojia really has a special talent for fishing. Ever since Xie Haojia caught the first fish, Xie Haojia has been like a god. , the fish on the harpoon are one after another, and the fish are as fat as one!
As more and more fish were thrown ashore by Xie Haoda's family, Xie Haoda's mouth gradually grew bigger and bigger, and could almost hold an entire egg. However, the "talentless" Xie Haowen, Xie Haoxue, and Xie Haoyuan were three Man finally chose to put down the harpoon and go ashore to help Xie Haoda and clean up the fish caught by Xie Haoda's family...
"Eldest brother, second brother, third brother, little sister, are these fish enough?" Xie Haojia caught fish for who knows how long. It wasn't until he was really tired and panting that Xie Haojia stopped holding his hand without being satisfied, and then asked the four people standing on the shore.
"Fourth brother, enough is enough! You have caught so many fish that you can sell them in the market... I can't even count how many there are..." The four people on the shore nodded. Garlic, then Xie Haoda, who was the first to recover, said.
"Yes, fourth brother, thank you for your hard work. Come up here quickly. There are too many fish. We might not even be able to carry them back."
"..."
"..."
The brothers came to their senses later. Each one of them was chattering away, while silently connecting the fish with straw ropes and carrying them on their backs.
——
(I am your super cute dividing line)
As the sun sets in the west, the red sunset gradually disappears in the west. The various restaurants in Qingzhou City gradually disperse the noise and become quiet. They sell the extra fish on the street for money, and use the money to buy two more fish. With two meats and some white flour, the five Xie family brothers and sisters walked towards home in rare joy.
"Brother, tell me, if dad knew that we knew his birthday and wanted to celebrate his birthday, would he be happy?" Xie Hao, who relies on the love of his four eldest brothers in the family, has a whole bunch of candied haws on his own. Da said with a smile.
"Maybe...after all, I remember that dad really likes to eat fish..." Xie Haojia said.
"Yes, dad has always wanted us to grow up early. Being able to help dad celebrate his birthday also means that we have grown up." The third brother Xie Haoxue rushed to answer.
"Father should be happy, but I think if we can pass the imperial examination or other methods and achieve something in the future, father will be even happier..." Xie Haowen said.
"Brother still likes to think so long-term. What should I do if I think so long-term? As a human being, you should live in the present. The world is so chaotic. Scientific examination may not be the only good way out. Why don't we join the army together? Really What do you gain by fighting with swords and guns?"
"..."
"..."
"Everyone of you, except for the second brother and the third brother, what are you talking about... What I ask you is whether your father is because we got fish through labor, and through labor, we got money, and exchanged it for delicious food. I am happy to come to celebrate his birthday... What you all said one by one... are all about honoring your ancestors..." Xie Haoda looked at his "ambitious" brothers with great disgust and said.
"That's all. Let me ask you, why not ask dad directly later? Today is dad's birthday. If we celebrate his birthday, dad has the final say whether we are satisfied or not..." Xie Haoda walked at the front, After thinking for a moment, he said.
"In that case... then sister, you can ask daddy later. Anyway, in our whole family, you are the only one who dares to ask daddy directly."
"That's natural. I'm daddy's only daughter, so daddy will naturally love me more~"
"By the way, eldest brother and second brother, we are all out fishing today, who will do the decoration at home... It's a birthday after all, so it's not a good idea to have nothing decorated..."
"Don't worry, your second brother and I have entrusted the matter to Qi Si and the others early in the morning. Qi Si and the others will handle the matter, so don't worry~" Xie Haoxue said.
"That's good. Fortunately, we have Brother Qi Si and the others. If it were all up to you guys who were unreliable and only thought about honoring our ancestors... I'd probably be in a hurry to celebrate my father's birthday..." Xie Haoda walked home quickly while speeding up. Walking in the same direction, he continued to joke.
Although today's Xie Haoda is from a poor family, his verbal skills are not "poor" at all. He has already had the potential to "fight the Confucian scholars" and "mother-in-law" in the future.
As for Xie Haoda's brothers, I don't know whether it was because Xie Haoda poked a little bit into their hearts, or because they loved this sister and didn't want to argue with her. They just let their sister do it all the way. He said this and that to them without any words to refute...
The five brothers and sisters of the Xie family walked home, not deserted because of Xie Haoda's presence. It was not until the five brothers and sisters returned to the front door of the Xie family that they slowly became quiet.
The five brothers and sisters of the Xie family looked at the sky behind them, thinking that their father would be home at this moment, so they all kept silent and quietly walked into the door of the Xie family.
The Xie family's house is not big, and you can almost see it all at a glance. The five Xie family brothers and sisters entered the door, looked around, and confirmed that their father had not come back yet.
"Huh? It's so late, why hasn't father come back yet?"
"Yes, my father should be back at this time. What's more, today is his birthday. Although my father doesn't care much, my grandfather and grandmother always prepare a bowl of longevity noodles for my father on this day. So, my father You always come back early?"
"Yeah...why are the candles at home not lit...even the candles in my grandparents' house are not lit..."
"..."
"..."
Just when the five Xie brothers and sisters were asking various questions one after another, Qi Si suddenly ran in from the door out of breath and said breathlessly:
"You are finally back! Come and follow us around to find Uncle Xie!"
"Ah? Looking for my father?! What happened to my father?"
"I don't know much! I just know that Uncle Xie went to work on the dock today and seemed to have been forcibly abducted by a girl!"
"Ah!? No way! How can someone dare to rob someone in broad daylight!? Who told you this! No one is joking!"
"Probably not! This is what the girl who kidnapped Uncle Xie sent to say!"
"What! Which girl is she from!? How dare you act so confidently and boldly as a gangster to inform us!"
"That servant said he is from the Gu family! He is from the Gu family, the richest man in Qingzhou, the imperial merchant!"
"What! Then go and report to the official!" the five Xie family brothers and sisters said in unison.
"Now that the key to the Yamen has been locked up, we have to wait until tomorrow to report to the official. But my eldest brother heard that the Gu family held a banquet today and thought that the madman was there, so he rushed over with Grandpa Xie and Grandma Xie!"
"I specifically asked me to wait for you at home, waiting for you to go with us to ask for someone."
"Okay! Without further ado, let's leave quickly!"
After saying that, a group of people rushed to the Gu family in Qingzhou. Little did they know that at this moment, Xie Ruqing, whom they were thinking about, was forced to put on a festive red dress and was trapped in a village, with the kidnapper. The woman fought with wits and courage...
July 15th is the birthday of our male protagonist Xie Ruqing. It’s my first birthday to the male protagonist and I don’t know what to write, so I will write about how the male protagonist’s children prepare for his birthday together, but something unexpected happens. I hope Don't dislike it, everyone
