Lu Xiaoshu, Lu Qi, and a few other children were burying the firecrackers in a pile of well-trodden snowdrifts, preparing to light the fuses to see the scene of the firecrackers exploding and blowing up snow and ice slags. , and discussed to go to the woods to have a snowball fight when the snow is bigger tomorrow. When I looked up, I saw my mother and my little aunt standing there waving. The two brothers and sisters looked at each other.
"Why are you here, mother?"
"Come tell us to go back! Let's go, come out tomorrow, so as not to be scolded!"
"Oh fine!"
Reluctantly, Lu Xiaoshu patted his red hands and followed behind Lu Qi, Lu Qi said to everyone: "We're going back, we'll call you tomorrow for the snowball fight!"
The brothers and sisters always take the lead and lead the crowd to play, if they are not there, there will be less people to lead and distribute, and a lot of fun will be lost, so they readily agreed.
"Look at this little hand that is red from the cold, and the face is too! Why are you so stupid, you don't know how to go home when it's cold!" Miao Cuilan patted the snowflakes on Lu Xiaoshu's body, frowned and scolded, then pulled Lu Qi After watching it for a while, "Hurry up and go back, it's all freezing! You, as a brother, aren't you afraid of the cold and don't miss your two sisters!"
Tong Yu'er smiled and wanted to hug Lu Xiaoshu, but Lu Xiaoshu was not willing to hug her, she struggled and said with a smile, "I'll go by myself, little aunt, I'll go by myself! Mom, don't blame brother, it's not cold at all!"
"You still say! When you catch a cold, you will know whether it's cold or not!" Miao Cuilan glared at her. Several people walked home together. One after another, adults from other families came out to find their own children and went back.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and in the evening when I opened the door, the outside world had completely changed, a piece of white with ups and downs and soft lines. The fluttering snowflakes are denser than the willow catkins flying around in the spring, which can basically cover the sight. If you don't hold an umbrella and stand at the door for a few seconds, a thin layer will fall on your body.
A little gray sparrow flew from nowhere, and landed in the snow-white yard in a flutter of heavy snow. It hopped a few times and pecked a few times, chirped twice, and then flew away.
Lu Xiaoshu saw it lying on the door, then turned his head and ran to Mr. Wu, who was pulling his arm and entangled him, "Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu, let's catch sparrows tomorrow, okay? Mr. Wu, teach me!"
Mr. Wu told her that she couldn't help it, so he could only laugh and said: "Okay, okay, I will teach you, you are not allowed to mess around anymore! If you tell me to find out that it makes other people jump around, I will never teach you again. is you!"
Mr. Wu is good at making all kinds of mechanism traps for catching birds and small animals such as hares, mountain otters, badgers, hedgehogs, foxes, etc. Each type has its own particularity. Lu Xiaoshu once tormented him to teach himself some simple ones. In fact, Mr. Wu just treated her as a child who was curious and taught casually. Who knows that Lu Xiaoshu is also very enlightened in these things, and he learns them with great prowess.
She was too young to go up the mountain to experiment, so she experimented in her yard. But her own chickens and ducks are very familiar with her, and it is too easy to attract them to the hub under that trick, so she turned her idea to other people's poultry.
The children in the village have few recreational activities on weekdays, and when they are having fun, they don’t care whether it is their own chicken or not. When they see a “prey” caught in a quilt, they all clap their hands and laugh for fun, which makes the flat-haired beasts giggle in surprise. Screaming, the kids clapped their hands and laughed more and more. However, the adults were very angry, and after the reprimand, they had to question the culprit, so someone went to Lu Xiaoshu's house to file a complaint...
Lu Xiaoshu was overjoyed when he heard Mr. Wu agreed, his eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly to promise not to mess around, and he couldn't help muttering a few times to explain that it wasn't his fault.
Mr. Wu chuckled, and said, "This heavy snowfall is indeed heavy enough, but we have to wait another two or three days to catch the sparrows, not tomorrow."
Lu Xiaoshu was slightly disappointed when he heard that, but he thought that he agreed anyway, so he was afraid that he would go back on his word and run away? He also readily agreed.
Mr. Wu said with a smile again: "It's easy for me to teach you, you can recite two ancient poems about snow to Mister!"
"Did you teach me?" Lu Xiaoshu rolled his eyes, and then he recited with a smile: "There is no youth in the New Year, and grass buds are seen in early February; Baixue thinks spring is late, so she wears garden trees to make flying flowers." "He said again: "When the flying flowers came into the house six times, I sat and watched the green bamboos turn into Qiongzhi; now I can go up to the tall buildings and look at them, covering all the evil roads in the world."
As soon as the immature and crisp voice stopped, Lu Zhong and others all laughed.
"Good! Good! The little girl has a really good memory!" Mr. Wu unconsciously patted her little shoulder and said with a smile, "The little girl is really smart. When she is two years older, she will also go to school to study with her." Come on, sir accept you as a female disciple, okay?"
Lu Zhong, Miao Cuilan and the others were surprised when they heard what Mr. Wu said, but they were even more overjoyed. As parents, of course they would like to see their children being praised by others, especially if this person is not an ordinary person.
Miao Cuilan opened her mouth and was about to say "promise sir soon", but Lu Xiaoshu shook her head without hesitation and said: "But I don't want to, it's more fun to play, studying in school... so boring Woolen cloth!"
joke! In her previous life, her parents still threatened and lured her to study those books, and made surprise attacks from time to time, so she had no choice but to go, and she will come again in this life? J! Besides, is there any use in reading those children's poems and songs? For a woman like her, studying the Four Books and Five Classics is even more useless!
"That's right, it's good to study in school... good..." Lu Qi immediately agreed with deep approval, and halfway through agreeing, seeing his mother frowning and staring at him coldly, he immediately froze and lost his voice.
Mr. Wu was taken aback, then burst out laughing unconsciously, and said with a smile: "You little girl, you are still young after all!"
Lu Zhong also excused himself with a smile and said to Mr. Wu: "That's right, such an older child knows what kind of school and what studying, and she will understand when she is older!"
So I skipped this matter and talked about something else.
The brothers and sisters were eagerly looking forward to catching sparrows in two or three days, but Mr. Wu was also trustworthy. This morning, he brought bamboo strips, bamboo sticks, thin ropes, fine nets, etc., and asked Lu Qi to find a flat and shallow sparrow. A shallow dustpan, a shovel, and a broom were used to sweep snow in the yard to create a clearing.
Miao Chuhe was very curious, saying that he had never played this game before, so he also stepped forward to help, taking a shovel to shovel snow. Tong Yu'er also felt strange, and watched from the side with a smile. The yard was full of laughter and laughter.
Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help but see the scene of catching birds in the snow described in the textbook at some point in his mind, which was very similar to what was happening in front of him, and he watched it with gusto.
Mr. Wu quickly set up the trap quickly, sprinkled a layer of bait specially fried with egg yolk to make it fragrant, and then clapped his hands and said: "It's done! Waiting to throw myself into the net!" He led the crowd away and hid in the dark.
After a heavy snowfall, the sky was freezing cold, and the sparrows were already hungry. Not long after, three or two flew down with flapping wings to peck at the delicious millet.
"Look, look! The sparrow is coming!" All three children became excited.
Mr. Wu smiled slightly and said, "Calm down, it's not time yet!"
Lu Qi and the others who were eager to try had no choice but to wait patiently, staring at the few little sparrows pecking happily with their eyes wide open, feeling extremely anxious in their hearts.
"Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu, what if it is full and flies away!" Lu Qi couldn't help but said.
Mr. Wu said with a smile: "If you fly, you will fly, and if you fly, you will come again!"
"That's right brother, what are small shrimps, what we want to catch is big fish!" Lu Xiaoshu also said.
"You really understand!" Mr. Wu laughed.
After a while, another five or six sparrows fell down, but the previous two or three sparrows were almost eaten, and flew away one after another, but as Mr. Wu said, some flew away and some flew back. After a while, there were at least 20 or 30 birds densely packed in that small area, but it was a gray area.
Because they come and go, the sparrows come and go freely and don’t realize that there is danger here. While jumping and pecking, they chirp cheerfully, fight with each other for entertainment from time to time, or comb their feathers leisurely. , completely regarded this place as a paradise.
"Okay, it's done!" Mr. Wu didn't blink his eyes, and gently picked up the string that was pressed on the ground. He tilted his body slightly, raised his elbow flat, and pulled it obliquely backward, "Wow! With a sound, the dustpan and the supporting bamboo sticks fell to the ground with a bang, and the net was taken up and covered it silently and quickly, trapping all the sparrows in the net, and the three children cheered and rushed out. Mr. Wu hastily shouted, "Don't move around!" He came out, carefully untied the tied net, and wrapped all the sparrows in it.
Looking at these sparrows with terrified mung bean-like eyes, Lu Qi said happily: "That's great! Sir, let's roast it and eat it, it must be delicious!"
"Okay, okay! By the way, catch two fish and roast them together! There is still meat at home! There are vegetables in the garden!" Lu Xiaoshu was also overjoyed.
Mr. Wu laughed and said, "Vegetables can also be eaten roasted? Where did you hear that!"
Lu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "Anyway, you'll know if you try it!"
Mr. Wu smiled and said: "That's right, let's try it! Let's prepare separately. Aqi and I will go fishing and deal with the sparrows, and I will leave the rest to you!"
The brothers and sisters quickly agreed and went happily.
So I picked a clean place on the porch, Miao Chuhe went to get the stove to light a charcoal fire, by the way Yang Miao Cuilan helped prepare various seasonings and some meat, sister Lu Xiaoshu and Tong Yuer carried a basket to the vegetable garden Picking vegetables, made some coriander, leek, vegetable sprouts, garlic sprouts, wrapped lettuce, etc. Lu Xiaoshu actually misses roasted eggplant and roasted green peppers very much. Unfortunately, at this time, where can I find such things? Also had to give up.
