After the meal, An'er regained her energy and chased after Shaoyin enthusiastically: "Mother, pick up mussels!"

"Okay." Shao Yin replied. He walked out of the stove, flicked the water on his hands, went into the house to find a bamboo hat, and slapped it on his head.

He walked out of the house, fastened the door, picked up the sharpened wooden fork standing against the wall, walked to the side of the tank and bent over to pick up a wooden basin, and then took his son to the river.

An'er was so happy that she ran to the front for a while, and then turned back again, her mouth kept saying: "Pick up mussels! Pick up mussels!"

"Pick up a big bowl! Make a big bowl!"

"Half a bowl for mother!"

He has a very good memory. Last night, Shaoyin said that he would eat half a bowl, and he was thinking about it.

When he came to the river, Shaoyin took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his cuffs and trousers, and let him play on the edge of the shallow water. He walked in by himself, stopped below his knees, and prepared to fork the fish.

There are fish in the river, but the dark scales on the back of the fish make them difficult to detect, swimming safely in the emerald green water. Only occasionally when the tail flicks and turns, a silver light reflects from the scales on the side of the body, which is detected by the predator.

Fork fish is something that cannot be done without a bit of technology. The scales of the fish are very slippery, and if the speed is not fast enough and the strength is not strong enough, they will not be able to fork at all. Not to mention the refraction of light, the position seen by the human eye is not the real position of the fish.

Fishing with bamboo baskets or nets is the general method. But there was no bamboo basket at home, and Shaoyin was too lazy to weave a net, so he slashed a wooden fork.

The river is shady, and the legs and feet are soaked in the river, which is indescribably cool and refreshing. The women in the village also walked out of the yard carrying pots of laundry to be washed, went to the river, found a place with dense trees, squatted down, and washed clothes while gossiping.

The children followed, but the women did not allow them to go into the water, and shouted one after another.

The river is more than 20 meters wide, and the depth can easily pass over the heads of adults. Adults are worried that children will be addicted, and usually do not allow children to enter the water.

But An'er was jumping up and down by the shallow water, attracting the attention of other children, and she also wanted to play in the water. As a result, he was reprimanded by his mother or grandmother, who shouted, "How can he go into the water?"

"That's right, he's in the water, and we're going down too!"

Slaps and cries came and went.

An'er was a little frightened, she didn't care to pick up the mussels, she stepped on the water and ran towards Shaoyin: "Mother."

Before he came, Shaoyin just saw a fish with a big tail and a palm swimming by, ready to attack.

At this time, I had to stop, turned around and said, "Stop!"

An'er stopped and looked at her eagerly, puzzlement and grievance flashing in her big eyes.

At the position where Shaoyin was standing, the water had already reached his knees. If An'er ran over, with his small body, at least it didn't reach his chest.

The child didn't know how to be afraid, she said slowly, "Stand farther away, the water is deep here."

An'er pursed her lips, turned her head and ran to the shore. Bend down, pout up his little butt, and hug his own wooden tub.

It was for mussels, but now he hasn't picked up any of them, so it's empty inside.

But even so, the wooden basin still has a lot of weight. He grabbed it with both hands, and his face turned red from the effort. But he didn't let go, hugged stubbornly, got into the water again, and walked towards Shaoyin step by step.

He is very clingy to his mother. After changing other children, it is estimated that will be excited to find friends to play with. But An'er has no friends.

Think and know.

His mother acted like that. She fought with Gu Tingyuan every day. Because the women in the village talked to Gu Tingyuan, she fought and tore with Gu Tingyuan, and even scolded him with harsh words. Who could be nice to her?

The eldest girl in the village, the little daughter-in-law, the aunt and the mother-in-law, did not pay attention to her, and naturally she would not let the children at home pay attention to her children.

An'er has no friends, and she is even rejected, which is why she sticks to her mother.

"Mother, put it on." Finally walking to her side, An'er let go.

As a result, the tub floated on the water and couldn't sink. He pressed it down, and every time he pressed down hard, the tub would float up again.

He was dumbfounded: "Mother?"

Listening to his son's crying tone, Shaoyin almost died of laughter. The thought of raising myself up so that I can stand with her makes my mind still very active.

Holding back the laughter, he picked up the wooden basin, controlled the water in it in turn, and put it on the water. Pick up the son and put him in the tub.

The wooden basin is very big, it was the same basin that was used to wash clothes yesterday. The little guy sits in, no limits.

However, the water was fluctuating. After An'er sat in, the wooden basin swayed suddenly, so frightened that An'er cried out, "Ah, ah," and waved her hands at a loss, trying to pull Shaoyin's clothes.

Shaoyin patiently stabilized the basin and taught him to hold the edge of the basin with both hands: "Don't move, the basin will not shake."

With his mother by his side and teaching him, An'er gradually calmed down, a little strange, look left and right.

He originally thought to stand taller and stand with his mother. But now, floating on the water, the goal is achieved, it is still very novel.

"Mother, why don't you sink?"

"Ask your father tonight."

An'er was very good, so she didn't ask any questions when she heard the words. She kept her curiosity in her heart, grabbed her mother's clothes with one hand, and began to observe her mother's fork fish.

"Wow"

The howling not far away rose again.

An'er was terrified, grabbed the corner of Shaoyin's clothes tightly, and looked back in a little panic.

Actually nothing.

They are all mothers and sons, what can do?

Even if you beat yourself, it's a place where the butt is thick and doesn't hurt. It's just that children have this ability, and crying makes people feel that they have suffered great grievances.

"Why can he!"

Not only was An'er able to go into the water, she also sat in the basin, making a group of children gluttonous.

"My mother is not afraid of him drowning, your mother, I am afraid that you will drown, do you understand?!" I don't know which aunt shouted, followed by a clear slap, which sounded like a spanking on the ass.
