90s Little Struggle

Chapter 40 Drowning
Now that someone finally came to visit, I can liberate myself for a while.

Xiao Hong swore that the one who came now was her savior.

When she went out and saw her cousin stepping into the yard, she could only think in her heart: This is really a lifesaver.

It's a pity that one of them may be a wolf with a big tail who wants to take away her sister. She has to watch carefully, and if necessary, she has to beat the mandarin duck with a stick.

"Please come in quickly." Xiao Hong saw that Xu Xinning was still carrying two net bags in his hand, which contained two packs of milk powder, and a half green and half yellow mango in the net bag.

The transportation is not very convenient now. In this season, all they can see here are melons, pears, late peaches, watermelons, etc., but mangoes are rarely seen.

Of course, the rarer the fruit, the more expensive it is.

Xiao Hong was a little greedy: "You are too polite, why did you take so many good things?"

Xu Xinning put two net bags on the table: "We are here to disturb you."

After speaking, I saw the test questions and the draft book on the table, and finally found a chance to talk to Xiao Fang: "Are you already reviewing? Then I will work hard when I go back."

After Xiao Fang greeted them, she diligently washed and cut the melons that she picked early in the morning, put them on the table, and heard his words: "It's time to work hard, school will start soon , the third year of high school is the most important year."

Yan Hong also looked forward to his cousin being admitted to university, and he also liked Xiao Fang who persuaded his cousin to make progress, and said earnestly: "You really need to focus on studying first, and try to get into university as much as possible."

"University can broaden your horizons, and you can study for a few more years with a solid mind. There will be more opportunities to show your ambitions in the future."

Xiao Hong didn't expect him to be able to persuade people to make progress like this, and felt a little ashamed for a while.

In fact, she always thinks that she can earn money, and when the clothing market opens, she can go to wholesale, open a store to earn money, buy a house and a car, and live a life without worrying about food and drink. 】

I continue to study now because of my grandma’s expectation, because the clothing wholesale market has not yet opened, and because she doesn’t want to earn too much money.

But now, she admits that what Yan Hong said makes sense, reading more books is always a good thing.

Xiao Fang glanced at her thoughtful sister first, and then said in a crisp voice: "Brother Yan is right, we will keep it in our hearts."

She usually persuaded Xiao Hong to study carefully, but she always felt that she didn't take it very seriously, but now she listened to what Yan Hong said.

This is of course a good thing she is happy to see come true, so she smiled and greeted them to eat cantaloupe.

At this time, Yanyan came in with two fishing rods on her shoulders, and after calling out to them as her sister taught them, she shyly whispered: "Are you still going fishing?"

"Yes!" Yan Hong took the fishing rod she brought: "You have worked hard in your studies, and occasionally you have to take a rest, now take us to go fishing first?"

Xiao Fang picked up a small wooden bucket and a small hoe, and took them to the pond to fish.

Although Zha Village is in the mountains, because of its special geographical location, and there are reservoirs here, because there are many ponds and streams.

When they went, there were five teenagers touching snails in the pond. Seeing them coming, they looked at them curiously, and then warmly called Yanyan to go into the water to touch snails.

When Yanyan saw her little friend, she also took off her sandals and went into the water.

The pond is only about two acres, not particularly big, but the scenery is very good.

When the wind blows on the surface of the pool, the blue waves are rippling, the lotus leaves and lotus flowers are swaying, and the children are laughing happily.

Xiao Fang is still very familiar with the situation in the village: "This pond is relatively remote, and it also belongs to Uncle He's house. It is mainly used to store water, which is convenient for watering the pear orchard here. Our father will throw some small fish into the pond when he puts the cage. , it’s okay for us to fish here.”

Xu Xinning felt itchy when he saw the water: "Is the water deep here? I can't swim, but I also want to go down and touch the snails."

In his heart, he felt that fishing was the old man's hobby, but on the contrary, he thought it was quite interesting to touch the snails.

Mainly in the summer in the town, there were children who went to the river to bathe in the cold, and finally drowned and lost their lives.

Afterwards, whether it was grandparents or parents, they kept a close eye on him in the summer, so that he has grown up now, but he still can't swim.

Xiao Fang was a little surprised to hear what he said. After all, in their countryside, where there is a lot of water, most people would dig a few times in the water.

But when I think of myself, I was weak since I was a child, and my parents would not let me go into the water.

"You can go down and walk around the side, as long as you don't go in the middle."

Xu Xinning took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his trousers and went into the water, and he was very confident: "I will definitely be able to touch the snails we are going to eat at noon today."

Xiao Fang pursed her lips and followed him on the shore with a small wooden bucket: "Snails can be seen on the shore, or on the rock wall, where the water is shallow."

When Xiao Hong heard what he said, she put her hands on her chest and complained in a low voice: "Listening to what he said, you know that your fingers don't touch Yangchun water, and the snails that you just touched, it's best to keep them in water for a few hours. eat."

Yan Hong was digging earthworms with a small hoe, and when he heard what she said, he couldn't help but smile: "He really doesn't understand, but he just wants to go down to play in the water."

What's more, Xiao Fang is still with him on the shore now.

He quickly dug up a few earthworms and started fishing.

Unfortunately, after more than ten minutes, he still found nothing.

Xiao Hong doubted his skills in his heart, but comforted him: "There are not many fish here, let's go fishing in another place in the afternoon."

Yan Hong originally wanted to smoke, but when he saw the little girl sitting next to him, he pulled out a piece of dog's tail grass and put it in his mouth, teasing himself: "It's okay, anyway, you don't expect to eat the fish I caught at noon. "

"Uncle went to collect the cages early in the morning, and we already have the fish we want to eat today." Seeing that he was able to make jokes, Xiao Hong also teased with a smile: "If you have good skills, you can bring the fish you caught Go home and give your grandparents a drink."

As soon as her words fell, the float sank, and he quickly raised the fishing rod, and there was a palm-sized crucian carp on the hook.

Yan Hong was in a good mood: "Haha, I would like to borrow your good words."

Xiao Hong's eyes were hot, and he also sat on the grass, picked up another fishing rod, hooked the bait, and started fishing.

Unfortunately, fishing is not so easy.

Either the fishing rod is lifted fast and the fish has not been hooked yet, or the fishing rod is lifted slowly and the bait has been eaten up.

Seeing that Yan Hong on the side had already caught another crucian carp and a few small miscellaneous fish.

This comparison obviously meant that he was going to be slapped in the face.

But she has a way out.

Xiao Hong looked at the sun in the sky pretendingly, and said, "Oh, it's getting late, I'll go back and prepare lunch first, and you can go home in half an hour."

Of course Yan Hong would not make fun of her, in fact, he would rather be alone: ​​"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

When Xiao Hong turned around and was about to leave, she heard the children crying: "Come on, Xiao Ming is drowning..."
