Under the pure night sky, the evening breeze caresses.
Long bamboo rafts gently rowed across the calm river water.
Three mottled figures were reflected on the clear river water, as well as the bright moon.
This time, because it was a private event and it was at night, there were not many folk songs sung along the way, making it particularly quiet.
Li Shiqiang did not stand on the first raft this time, but came to the middle of the bamboo raft and held up the pennant.
The old man Li Nongchang stood at the head of the raft and looked back at him from time to time.
Li Shiqiang stood behind him during the first few rehearsals, so he didn't have to hold up the rows, let alone worry him.
And this time, it is Li Shiqiang’s first independent support in the real sense.
That's why he looked back from time to time.
After seeing that Li Shiqiang's movements were very skillful and there was no sign of panic, he finally turned around with confidence.
"Er baby, when did you learn to support the platoon?"
Maybe it was because the river was so quiet at night, but his third uncle Li Nongxing still couldn't help but want to talk.
"I've been here several times to arrange the show, so I've learned a lot about it."
Li Shiqiang held on to his pennant and didn't look back. He just replied with a smile on his face.
"As expected of the Li family's baby, he was born to be the second brother handsome!"
The third uncle said with some pride at first, then he couldn't help but sigh and said: "It would be great if Tian Wa had the same ability as you. Not only could he do the chores, but he could also go to the mountains to collect things and give money to the house. "
As parents, we can't help but compare our children with others.
Not to mention that both of their families are related.
"Third uncle, how old is Tian Wa! You haven't even finished reading the book, and you want him to be released into the mountains?"
Li Shiqiang didn't want to become "someone else's child" and cause unnecessary pressure to his cousin, so he persuaded him again: "Compared with going to the mountains and going to the mountains, studying is the more important thing. As long as Tian Wa concentrates on studying, she might be able to do it in the future." Eat commercial food.”
Eating commercial food means that you can find a job in the city and receive food stamps to eat food directly.
"Just him? If he can eat commercial food, I will fry fish for him in my hand!"
Perhaps because he was too familiar with what his children looked like, the third uncle simply did not dare to imagine that his son would be able to eat commercial food.
Li Shiqiang was silent for a moment and carefully thought about Tian Wa in his previous life.
I remember that Tian Wa didn’t read much in her last life. After finishing junior high school, she didn’t touch books much.
After working at home for several years, the spring breeze of reform and opening up coincided with the spring breeze of reform and opening up. In addition, Jinsha Village had not released water for several years. Seeing that some people in the village began to plant herbs, he directly dug up the fields. , followed by planting herbs.
He and his third uncle almost got into a fight over this matter.
But with the gradual production of medicinal herbs, Tian Wa became the first group in the village to eat commercial food.
Although I didn't eat it because I worked in the city, I bought it with the money from selling medicinal herbs.
But it is indeed true that we are eating commercial food.
Thinking of this, Li Shiqiang couldn't help but chuckle, turned back to look at Li Nongxing and said: "Uncle San, you must remember what you said today. If Tian Wa really eats commercial grain in the future, I will watch over you." Let him fry the fish in his hands and eat it."
"Humph, look!"
.......
When the moon above our head had risen to the sky, the bamboo raft finally slowly approached the shore.
It was already late at night, and the cold wind had been blowing all night. Not only were the three of them shivering from the cold, but they also yawned sleepily from time to time.
It's nothing if you walk all night, but it's more dangerous if you hold up all night.
If the rows were broken due to sleepiness, it would not be so easy for the three of them to hold the five hundred bamboos in the cold river water.
Once you lose your bamboo, you will have to pay money.
Therefore, Li Nongchang, who was at the forefront, decided to rest ashore first.
After landing on the shore, the old man and his third uncle immediately went to light a fire.
But Li Shiqiang hugged the little flower, rubbed its head, and said slightly reproachfully: "You guy, I said I won't let you follow, but you insist on following. Now you know you are tired."
From setting off in the morning to setting off in the evening, Xiaohua has always been following the bamboo rafts on the edge of the river beach.
It had been running for almost a whole day, panting heavily and hanging out its tongue.
Li Shiqiang looked distressed and quickly stroked its tired body with his hands.
After its body gradually calmed down, I took it to drink some water, and then took out a few pieces of dried meat and meat buns from the bag to feed it.
Because there is no shortage of meat at home, her mother, Chen Xianglan, puts a lot of meat into the meat buns to ensure that she is full.
After the fire was lit, Li Shiqiang brought Xiaohua to the side.
As soon as he sat down, the old man Li Nongchang laughed at Xiaohua: "I won't let you come, but you have to come. Now you know you are tired! You are exhausted, you silly dog!"
"Woof woof woof!!"
Having just eaten something, Xiaohua regained some strength, sat on the ground and called out to Li Nongchang feebly twice.
"Ha ha ha ha...."
Li Nongchang was not annoyed after hearing this. Instead, he smiled and said, "I'll see what you do tomorrow!"
Tomorrow, we will have to queue almost all day during the day, and Xiaohua will have to run around for at least a whole day.
Thinking of this, Li Shiqiang was also a little worried.
He rubbed the dog's head, suddenly stood up and said: "Xiaohua, come here!"
Without any hesitation, Xiaohua immediately stood up from the ground and followed.
Li Shiqiang came to stand on the bamboo raft and shouted to Xiaohua again: "Come on, Xiaohua!"
At this time, the bamboo raft was half leaning on the beach and not completely floating on the river.
Xiaohua looked at it and jumped onto the bamboo raft with a little hesitation.
Li Shiqiang took it for a walk on the long bamboo rafts, and Xiaohua followed closely at his feet.
"That's right, Xiaohua. You can follow me to arrange the parade tomorrow."
After bringing Xiao Hua back to the fire, Li Shiqiang immediately said to his old man: "I won't let Xiao Hua run on the shore tomorrow. Let her follow me to the row."
Li Nongchang is the leader, so if he wants to be in the row, he must follow the leader's lead.
After hearing this, Li Nongchang didn't say anything disgusting about how to let a dog sit in the row. Instead, he said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that it will fall into the river? It can't swim."
swim?
Li Shiqiang thought of this and quickly looked at Xiaohua while taking off his clothes.
"Come on, little flower, I'll teach you how to swim."
Although dogs are land animals, they can indeed swim in water.
Li Shiqiang saw many dogs swimming in the water in his previous life.
After he plunged into the river, Xiaohua jumped into the water without hesitation.
Seeing that Xiaohua believed in him so much, Li Shiqiang shouted excitedly in the water: "Haha, you are indeed a good dog."
He propped up Xiaohua's body, letting her gradually adapt to the feeling of being in the water, and then slowly released her.
After Xiaohua basically got used to it, he personally demonstrated dog-paddle swimming on the side.
After a while, the little flower learned how to swim.
When he brought Xiao Hua back to the fire again, Li Nongchang was already a little stunned. He stared at Xiao Hua with suspicion and said: "Are you a human or a dog? Not only can you understand human speech, but you also learned to swim so quickly." !”
Xiaohua ignored him, just came to his side, and suddenly shook out the large water droplets on her body.
"Ah! You damn dog! Get out of the way!"
"Ha ha ha ha...."
