The fertile water of farming does not flow to outsiders' fields

Yingzi's father was a little embarrassed, so he stood up and put on his pants to help. The two of them squatted by the river and cleaned up all the fish, then hurriedly spread salt and hung them on the temporary shelf.Father Xue sat by the river watching the water: "You can only catch fish once at night. We will get up early tomorrow, cast a few nets during the day, and head back before lunch. We can get home after dark."

The two agreed, and Xue Yinsong sighed: "It's a pity that the big fish ran away. The fish weighs at least several tens of catties." Father Xue said with a smile: "The fish is probably the local fish king. How can it be so easy for such an old man? Fishing? It’s fine as long as it escapes by itself, I’ve heard people say that there are big fish that hurt people, and bite off a piece of finger.”

Xue Yinsong has watched many exploration programs and knows that this statement is true, but Yingzi's father doesn't believe it and just smiles perfunctorily.

The three packed up the fish, and the two elders slept in the car. Xue Yinsong spread a layer of oilcloth and slept on the ground. Although it was very cold, he fell asleep when he was tired.

In the early morning, Xue Yinsong woke up from the cold, sat up and saw his father sitting by the fire: "Father, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Father Xue said, "I haven't slept in the wild for many years. I'm not used to it, so I just Keep watch at night, save a fox or something from taking the fish."

Xue Yinsong yawned and continued to lie down.Father Xue asked suddenly: "Tiger, Dad feels uneasy because he can't sleep all night."

"Why are you restless? Is it because you didn't catch that big fish yesterday?"

"I can't tell. I was like this when your mother had an accident before. Could it be that something will happen again this time?"

Xue Yinsong sat up immediately after hearing this: "Do you have any bad feelings again?"

"I can't say it, but I feel uncomfortable in my heart," Father Xue said, "Is there something wrong with Xiucai at home?"

This made Xue Yinsong break out in a sweat. He remembered that the little scholar almost burned the house down in a daze last time, so he jumped up and said, "I don't feel relieved after hearing what you said, Dad, how about you?" You stay here to fish, I'll go back and have a look first?"

"Okay," Father Xue didn't have much opinion: "Anyway, I just cast a few nets during the day, the old fish escaped yesterday, I guess there won't be too many fish today, you go on your own, Yingzi Dad and I can get busy. "

Xue Yinsong hurriedly got into bed, put on his clothes, packed some dry food and a water bag, and set out on the road. If he walked fast, he could get home before lunch.

The winter sun was not warm, but Xue Yinsong was sweating all over, because he was worried about something, and he was not in the mood to eat and only drank some water on the way.It was not before noon when he arrived home, and Xiucai was taking Changhui to feed the chickens in the backyard. Seeing him sweating profusely, he rushed back thinking that something had happened.

Seeing the two of them, Xue Yinsong heaved a sigh of relief and sat down to drink water and rest.Chang Hui asked, "Aba, how many fish did you catch?"

"A lot of fish," Xue Yinsong said, and picked up his son: "I'm not at home these two days, what's going on at home?"

Changhui thought for a while and said: "No, just yesterday a brother came to deliver grass." Xue Yinsong nodded, and Changhui said again: "Aba, why didn't Grandpa Xue come back?"

Xue Yinsong explained: "Grandpa Xue had a bad dream. I was worried about you, so I came back early."

Chang Hui suddenly realized, and said in surprise: "So you know, yesterday Daddy dropped the water ladle into the well, and he told me not to say anything." Pretending to be Shui Piao and running away from home?

"Just dropped a water ladle?"

Chang Hui frowned and thought for a while, "It's really nothing. Oh, Dad forgot to read the book yesterday and burned the rice, but he said it's nothing serious, so I don't need to tell you."

Xue Yinsong held his breath and asked again: "Apart from food?"

"Well, the chicken ran out of the coop yesterday, and my father and I were sweating profusely before rushing back." Changhui replied honestly.

"How did the chicken get out of the circle?"

"Daddy said that it was too much for the chickens to stay in the pen, and told them to let them out to let the wind out, but they refused to go back after they were released. Later, Sister Yingzi said that when they were hungry, they would mix some food and put them in the nest before rushing back. of."

Xue Yinsong patted his son on the back, very satisfied with the little spy, put him down and said: "Go and play with your father, Aba can cook here in a while."

Changhui agreed to run to the front yard, and after a while the little scholar came hesitantly: "Changhui said he told you about the chickens?"

"kindness."

"Heh, isn't that... hehe," Xiao Xiucai said with a smile, "Isn't everyone going back again?"

Xue Yinsong wanted to be angry at first, but when he looked back, didn't he just drop a water ladle, burn the rice, and release a group of chickens?It was indeed nothing serious, so I had to turn my head to look at him and said, "You know my father said early in the morning that he was in a panic, and I was really worried to death. When my mother died that year, my father was also worried Not feeling well, I was afraid that you and Changhui might have something to do at home, and I was so anxious that I would light a torch and go on my way before four o'clock. Losing a water ladle or a chicken is a trivial matter, as long as you are safe."

Little Xiucai was a little embarrassed, but was moved by him: "What can happen, I was just reading, Changhui didn't go out yesterday, everything is fine."

Xue Yinsong washed the rice and cooked it, took a few green vegetables to fetch water from the well to wash: "Although you and Changhui come from a big family, they are kind people, and they are kind to me and my father. I like living with you very much." Together. My mother died early, and it was not easy for my father to bring me up, so when I saw you and Changhui, I thought of myself, and suddenly felt quite sour. Although I entered this family as a servant, But I know you've never seen me in person and I'm really grateful for that, so I've been wanting to do something for you, but I really don't know what I can do for you, so I raise all those chickens Duck, pig and rabbit, not because I like these things, but because I hope to bring you wealth with my own hands, so that you and Changhui can live a richer and happier life. I hope I can support the sky for you , so that you have no worries about food and clothing, happy and healthy."

These words were not sensational at all, but Xiao Xiucai was moved and almost burst into tears. Fortunately, he held back, and said after a while: "Brother Xue is able to think that way, it's really lucky Pei Changhui, and even more fortunate Pei Renjie."

Xue Yinsong said with a smile: "It's today, you still call me Big Brother Xue and you're out of touch. You see, Changhui calls me Aba, and my father calls me Tiger. These names have special meanings. Why don't you call me a special one?" title?"

The little scholar thought about it: "But I don't know what to call it? You don't allow me to be called Aba, so why don't you call me Tiger after your father?"

Xue Yinsong immediately showed his fox tail: "Did my father call me the tiger, or you... just call me my husband."

The little scholar blinked and said, "Oh, then I'll call you...husband from now on?"

Xue Yinsong agreed with a smile on his face: "Hey, what do you want to eat for lunch today?"
