The leisurely life of a reborn dad

There were not so many people coming over, and Cao Shujie was finally able to take some time off. When Mengmeng saw her father not working, she kept circling around him.

Cao Shujie felt a little dizzy when he spun around. He was worried that Mengmeng would fall down at any time, so he gently warned her: "Mengmeng, run slower."

If I fall down and knock my head off, I will start crying again.

"Hehe, Dad, I'm fine!" Mengmeng stopped, looking up at her round face with a look of anticipation.

"Dad, let's go out and play."

Seeing his daughter like this, Cao Shujie felt that he really couldn't treat her these days. He was only busy with things in the orchard and thinking about how to make money, but he forgot to accompany his daughter: "Okay, where do you want to go? "

"Dad, let's go fishing." Mengmeng opened her cute eyes and said expectantly.

As if she was prepared, she ran towards the room on the first floor where the sundries were kept without even waiting for Cao Shujie to respond.

After a while, she gritted her teeth and dragged out a bare fishing rod.

Cao Shujie felt a little ashamed when he saw this fishing rod. He bought it last year.

I bought the fishing rod just to make Mengmeng happy and take her fishing.

But after not using it a few times, the fishing rod was put away and became a decoration at home. Unexpectedly, Mengmeng found the fishing rod again.

Mengmeng dragged the fishing rod and stood there motionless before she even walked out of the door. She made babbling noises, but she didn't move a step.

Cao Shujie was thinking about what had happened, and then saw Mengmeng turning his head and shouting a little irritably: "Dad, please help me, I can't lift it."

Seeing his daughter's anxious look, Cao Shujie hurried over and saw the fishing wheel behind the fishing rod hanging just beside the door. She didn't know it yet, but she was gritting her teeth and tug-of-war with the fishing rod.

Cao Shujie almost laughed. Mengmeng turned around and saw the strange expression on her father's face that was half a smile but not a smile. She pouted her lips and asked unhappily: "Dad, what are you laughing at?"

The little guy's eyes are quite sharp.

Cao Shujie definitely couldn't admit that he was laughing at his daughter just now, so he waved his hands repeatedly: "It's okay."

"Mengmeng, give me the fishing rod and I'll help you get it." Cao Shujie bent down and reached out, took the fishing rod from his daughter's hand, pushed it back, and the fish wheel separated from the door.

Cao Shujie stood up straight, easily holding the fishing rod in one hand and holding his daughter's cute little hand in the other as he walked out.

"Let's go fishing." Mengmeng jumped up and followed her father, dancing happily as she walked, happily dancing her own dance.

Seeing his daughter's happiness, Cao Shujie told her, then went to get a poke net, a bucket, and some homemade fishing bait.

After finishing their work and loading all the things on the electric tricycle, when the father and daughter were about to go out, Cheng Xiaolin came down from upstairs and asked him: "Shujie, where are you taking Mengmeng?"

Before Cao Shujie could speak, Mengmeng said excitedly: "Mom, dad and I are going fishing. We are going to catch a lot of fish. We will come back in the evening to feed you, hum!"

She was very proud.

Cheng Xiaolin was too lazy to talk to her and continued to look at her husband. Then she heard Cao Shujie say: "Let's go fishing in Xiahegou in the west."

How exactly the name Xiahegou came about is too long ago and there is no formal comparison of historical records, so it is impossible to verify.

But everyone in Caojiazhuang knows that there are quite a lot of fish in this small river.

Compared with the Yellow River, the fish in this small river are smaller, but they are easy to catch.

The current in the Yellow River is too fast and it is not easy to fish at this time.

Unless, like last year, you wait for the water to be released upstream and catch fish with a net, but then you lose the fun of fishing.

"Look cute and don't let her go to the river." Cheng Xiaolin warned her husband.

"Don't worry, I will definitely not let her go to the river." Cao Shujie assured his wife.

But when his grandfather Cao Zhenghu heard this, he said: "If Mengmeng gets a little water on her body, I will break your legs when you come back."

"..." Cao Shujie didn't know how to answer the question.

When walking out, Cao Shujie said grumblingly: "Grandpa, what you are doing is wrong. If Mengmeng plays with the fish in the bucket and gets wet, will I also have to be beaten?"

"Then don't catch her, just let her watch from the side." Cao Zhenghu said confidently.

But Cao Shujie was really dumbfounded. He couldn't catch any fish, so what was he going to do?

Grandpa's behavior was purely an insult to his fishing skills.

But Mengmeng didn't understand this. When she saw that her father wasn't leaving yet, she urged her again: "Dad, please leave quickly."

"Wait a while, I will bring both Dahei and Xiaohei with me." Cao Shujie said.

Normally everything was fine in the village, but the place they were going to was in the wilderness, and wild dogs would occasionally appear in that poor place. It would be more reassuring to bring Da Hei and Xiao Hei with them.

Even Cheng Xiaolin felt relieved when she saw her husband leading Dahei and Xiaohei out.

Mengmeng was sitting in the bed of the electric tricycle. Later, she stood up again, holding on to the fence pole in front of the bed with both hands: "Dad, run faster."

"This is already very fast, okay, how much faster do you want it to be? Flying?" Cao Shujie complained.

After Mengmeng heard this, she stuck out her little tongue very cutely. She saw that her father had left the village on an electric tricycle and was walking to the west.

Then I saw that both sides had turned into farmland and orchards.

Wheat is grown in the farmland. At this time, it is already as high as an adult's knees, and there are green ears of wheat. According to experience, in less than two months, the harvest will be almost there.

If you look closely at the fruit trees planted in the farmland, you will find that they have just begun to bloom. Compared with the orchards on Cao Shujie Mountain, this difference in time is particularly obvious.

"Pullingleng!"

There was a sound of a big bird flapping its wings, and Mengmeng pointed to the sky and shouted: "Dad, look, what a big bird!"

Cao Shujie looked up at the sky, then lowered his head and said to his daughter, "That's an eagle!"

Just as he was talking, an eagle cry came.

Eagles often appear here, which is not unusual.

"Eagle, hee hee!" Mengmeng looked at the eagle and started to giggle.

Cao Shujie didn't even understand what funny thing his daughter had thought of. He said, "Mengmeng, the eagle is very powerful. You must not get close to it."

Hearing what her father said, Mengmeng scratched her head a little. She asked: "Dad, the eagle flies so high, I can't catch it either."

"You still want to catch it? Not only can the eagle fly high, it can also catch you and fly into the sky!" Cao Shujie threatened his daughter: "Mengmeng, you must not provoke the eagle."

"Dad, I'm not afraid of it!" Mengmeng looked fearless.

Cao Shujie didn't even need to look back to know that her daughter, a silly and bold girl, was truly fearless.

Dahei and Xiaohei, who were following Cao Shujie on the ground, saw the eagles flying in the sky. They stopped running and stood there, raising their majestic dog heads and making wild beast-like noises at the sky. The growling and roaring sounds were completely different from their usual barking sounds.

If people from a distance couldn't see them and heard the sound, they would think it was some wild beast running over.

The roars of these two beasts with different musical scales directly scared away the eagles flying in the sky.

Seeing this scene, Mengmeng became more and more arrogant. She pointed at the blue sky and shouted with a smile: "Look, Dad, he ran away."

She was quite proud.

Cao Shujie also didn't expect that Dahei and Xiaohei would be so powerful now, which made him feel so safe!

How lucky he is to have two dogs like this!

When we came to the small river west of Caojiazhuang, we were surrounded by woods and farmland.

Wheat is grown in most of the farmland, but peaches are grown in this farmland near the river.

They were very ordinary peaches. Cao Shujie still remembered that when he was still very young, his mother Wang Yuelan would often buy peaches for him here.

At that time, you didn’t even need to spend money to buy peaches. Instead, you would bring in wheat and other grains from home in exchange.

Later, when Cao Shujie grew older, he and a few friends made an appointment to steal peaches. However, the peaches were not yet ripe, so they did not eat them. Instead, they were chased by dogs in the peach orchard.

Cao Shujie finally jumped into the ditch and swam to the other side of the river before running away.

At that time, he didn't understand that dogs could swim, but later, he still couldn't figure out why the dog didn't swim down the river to chase them.

Visiting the old place again, Cao Shujie felt a different kind of emotion when he saw this place. He even told Mengmeng it as a story.

While telling the story, Cao Shujie's hands were not idle. He took down the bucket, fishing rod, poking net, bait and two small stools brought from the electric tricycle.

A few minutes later, Cao Shujie found a vantage point by the river, put down two stools, prepared the fishing rod, put on the homemade bait, and waited for the opportunity to throw the fishing hook toward the center of the river.

"Dad, are there any fish?" After Mengmeng saw it, she ran to her father and asked impatiently.

Cao Shujie patiently told her: "Just wait, a fish will bite the bait soon."

"I don't believe it!" Mengmeng shook her head. She felt that her father was lying.

Cao Shujie patiently explained to his daughter. The little guy sat close to his father, sitting on the chair, and listened very seriously.

The father and daughter, one teaching and the other learning, created a particularly harmonious atmosphere.

Dahei and Xiaohei didn't go far. They were patrolling back and forth around Cao Shujie. If they heard the slightest abnormal noise, they would separate a dog and run towards the direction of the sound to check.

The thief is very skilled at playing this set.

Cao Shujie occasionally turned his head back. Seeing this scene, he felt completely safe!

Mengmeng has a temper that can't sit still. When she saw that there was no fish on the hook, Mengmeng stood up and ran around her father.

Cao Shujie kept following her with his eyes. When he saw his daughter showing signs of running towards the river, Cao Shujie immediately stretched out his hand to catch her.

Later, he realized that this was not enough. He could not keep staring at his daughter. He rolled his eyes and thought of a damaging move.

He summoned Dahei casually and tied the other end of the dog leash around his daughter's waist.

If Mengmeng wants to run around again, she can only drag Dahei. But the problem is that Mengmeng is too young. She can't drag Dahei at all, and she can't pull the dog leash. This reduces the safety factor. Multiply.

Mengmeng tried running several times, but found that it was useless. Dahei was much more flexible than her. At the critical moment, Dahei even bit her clothes and refused to let go. Mengmeng stopped running around this time.

While waiting quietly, the float that was still on the water sank suddenly, and then came up and ran on the water again.

Mengmeng saw this scene first. She pointed her hand into the water and shouted: "Dad, look, fish."

Cao Shujie glanced into the water subconsciously, and it was true that the fish had bitten the hook.

"Hey, little boy, can I still let you run away?" Cao Shujie said with a proud smile.

The first fish was caught, a crucian carp more than 10 centimeters long. This crucian carp is not too small.

Cao Shujie carried a bucket to get some water from the river, and put the fish he caught into the bucket. Seeing the fish half-dead in the bucket, Cao Shujie ignored him and continued to bait, hook, and fish. He was very busy. Very happy.

Mengmeng saw that her father had really caught a fish. She clapped her hands and applauded next to her, as if she had caught the fish.

After the second and third small crucian carp were caught, Mengmeng stood by the bucket, holding the bucket and looking inside. She was very happy.

"Hehe, dad, you are so awesome." Mengmeng kept praising her.

Hearing his daughter's praise, Cao Shujie felt as if he had eaten an ice cream on a hot summer day, feeling so refreshed.

He said with a little pride: "Mengmeng, just watch. Dad still has many great skills. I will catch a big fish for you later."

"Okay, okay." Mengmeng clapped her little hands and clapped.

She also stretched out her arms and said, "Dad, let's catch such a big fish."

Cao Shujie looked at the size of his daughter's gestures, and then looked at the small river ditch in front of him, thinking that it would be great if he could catch a fish weighing two or three pounds. How big a fish do you want?

Unfortunately, more than an hour passed, and Cao Shujie caught seven or eight small fish here and there, but not a single big fish.

But Cao Shujie had just promised his daughter to catch a big fish, so Mengmeng was not excited at all when she saw her father catching several small fish one after another, and just stared at the river eagerly, wanting to see her father. When can I catch the big fish?

Cao Shujie didn't notice this at first. He thought that his daughter had become sensible and became so quiet. But later, Cao Shujie realized it and he really wanted to slap himself twice.

You haven't caught a fish yet, what are you making a blind promise? Now it's fine, how will it end?

Cao Shujie worshiped various gods in his heart, thinking that these gods would bless him to catch a big fish.

Perhaps his sincerity moved all the gods. After almost two hours, Cao Shujie's fishing rod began to shake violently. His eyes fell on the water and he saw a big fish swimming and jumping back and forth in the water.

"Mengmeng, look, is it a big fish?" Cao Shujie shouted excitedly.

"Wow, daddy is so awesome!" The expression on Mengmeng's little face was very exaggerated.

Cao Shujie also had the patience to compete with this fish and deal with it!

After a few minutes passed, he saw the opportunity and quickly reached into the water with the poke net with his other hand, and brought out the tired big fish.

When the fish came out of the water, Cao Shujie visually determined that the fish was at least two pounds.

He showed off to his daughter: "Look, Mengmeng, is this fish big? Is daddy very powerful?"

"Wow. Daddy is awesome!" Mengmeng shouted, stretching out her little finger.

After hearing this, Cao Shujie felt more comfortable, but he was also worried: "It seems that there is no room for it in the bucket."

"Eh?"

When Mengmeng heard this, she looked at the big fish and then at the bucket placed by the river. She ran towards the bucket in a few steps. When Cao Shujie was still wondering, no one expected that Mengmeng would directly throw the bucket towards It was pushed down by the river, and the water and fish in the bucket were poured out.
