Qin Xiaoxiao knew nothing about her own abilities. She didn't understand why her third uncle was the one who passed the exam for the county's top criminal case and why her second aunt would catch her to praise her. In the end, she couldn't hold back Zhao Cao'er's enthusiasm and hid in Lin Qiuniang's house as if she was running away.

Behind him, he kept wiping the saliva from his face.

"Brothers and sisters, my third brother's ability to be admitted to the county police department has nothing to do with Xiaoxiao. She is a little kid and can't help but praise her." Lin Qiuniang knew how smart her daughter was and how curious she was, so she was afraid that she would become suspicious and ask questions.

, interrupted Zhao Caoer with a smile.

"Yes, yes, it is indeed the third brother's ability to pass the county chief's examination! Oh, our family is going to have a talented scholar!" Zhao Cao'er reacted and immediately turned around and praised Qin He: "Third brother,

Second sister-in-law knows that you are capable, and it is not in vain that our family has tightened our belts all these years to support your education."

Qin He was a man who knew what was good and what was good. He stood up and bowed deeply to his parents, brothers and sisters-in-law: "My parents, brothers and sisters-in-law have worked hard all these years!"

This simple sentence contained Qin He's deep gratitude and guilt for his parents, brothers and sisters-in-law.

The Qin family is not a wealthy family, so it is not easy for Qin He to study. Especially since Qin He was plagued with bad luck before and could not take the imperial examination smoothly. No one knows whether he can make a name for himself in the imperial examination.

.In recent years, many people have made sarcastic remarks, thinking that Qin He is an unlucky man, and that the Qin family has thrown money into the water by supporting him in education.

After hearing such words many times, Mr. Qin and Mrs. Miao, who had to take care of their other two sons and daughter-in-law, could not help but be shaken. However, they also could not bear to let their third son go home to farm, so they could only resist the pressure from all aspects and let Qin

The river goes on.

As his biological brother, Qinshan Qinhe already had a young family, so he was willing to support Qinhe in his education. On the one hand, it was out of brotherly love, and on the other hand, he was optimistic about Qinhe, his younger brother.

If the two brothers are not happy, Lin Qiuniang and Zhao Cao'er will definitely not be happy either. Once they get into trouble with Mr. Qin, not only will the Qin family not have a peaceful life, but Qin He will also not be able to become the head of the high school county case.

Qin He knew very well that the credit for his ability to escape bad luck and reach this stage was due to his whole family. Without them, he would not be where he is today.

"You just have to know what you have done. Take the government examinations and college examinations well!" Mr. Qin patted his third son on the shoulder with relief in his eyes, but did not say anything to ask him to remember their efforts and to repay them when he was able to make a career.

Class words.

"Dad, I know!" Qin He solemnly agreed, determined to get a good rank in the next government and college examinations and live up to the expectations of his relatives.

The others were afraid that Qin He would be under pressure, so they praised him a few times without saying anything else. Only Zhao Cao'er was afraid that Qin He would become successful and forget about the contribution of their second wife, so they kept talking about what they did to support Qin He's education.

If you work hard.

When she finished saying everything she wanted to say to Qin He, Qin Chuan felt embarrassed and pulled her into the room, closed the door and taught her a lesson. No one knows whether it was a real lesson.

In the next two days, the Qin family welcomed many people who came to express their congratulations.

Some people once belittled Qin He and scolded the Qin family for being stupid, but now they seemed to have forgotten this, and praised Qin He as a Wenqu star who descended to earth, and got close to him overtly and covertly, saying that he had great potential, so don't forget to support his neighbors.

Qin He was tired of dealing with such people, so he simply took his books and went out to herd sheep with his niece. It was much easier to stay with innocent children than those who were more thoughtful than a hornet's nest.

It is a great joy to have a county chief in the family, but the Qin family has always kept a low profile. Before Qin He officially became a scholar, they would not make a big fuss to celebrate. Therefore, after a few days of excitement, the Qin family returned to its former self.

peaceful.

The government examination is in April and the college examination is in May. In addition, this year is also the year of the provincial examination. If he can successfully obtain the title of scholar, Qin He will go to Beijing to participate in the provincial examination in August, so there is not much time left for him to study. At home.

After staying for five or six days, he packed his bags and prepared to return to school.

Qin Xiaoxiao knew that Mrs. Qiu liked to eat lake fish, and she remembered the silver peanuts Mrs. Qiu gave her, so she and Sanbao took Qin He to the lake to fish, and asked him to take it to Qiu's house for Mrs. Qiu to eat.

It happened that Chubby came to the Qin family to play with Qin Xiaoxiao, so he followed the uncle and nephew of the Qin family to Qinghu Lake, squatting in front of Qin Xiaoxiao and watching her fishing.

"Chubby, kittens like to eat fish. Do you like it? There are many fish in this lake!" With Qin He's help, Qin Xiaoxiao threw the baited fishhook into the water while waiting for the fish.

Take the bait and chat with Chubby.

"Meow~" Chubby swung his long and thick tail leisurely, and from time to time used the tip of his tail to tease the back of Qin Xiaoxiao's hand, while his big round eyes stared motionlessly at the sparkling lake.

Sanbao Yanre was chubby and had shiny and smooth fur. He couldn't control his little hands for a moment and gently tugged on the chubby long tail that was dangling.

"Meow!" Chubby turned his head sharply and stared at Sanbao with a fierce look. His front paws, which were as big as the hands of a three-year-old child, had already exposed sharp claws. He scratched the ground heavily and landed on the ground in two or three times.

Leaving behind deep traces.

Sanbao was so frightened that he stood frozen on the spot and did not dare to move.

"Chubby, Sanbao is timid, don't scare him." Qin Xiaoxiao patted Chubby's head and pulled its tail over to touch it: "The tail is very beautiful, not a single hair is missing."

Chubby immediately changed his face, stretched out his neck and rubbed into Qin Xiaoxiao's neck, calling like a coquettish "meow", trying to flatter him as much as he wanted.

Qin He on the side secretly breathed a sigh of relief and loosened his grip on Xiao Mazha.

Chubby was about to attack Sanbao just now, which scared him badly. If Qin Xiaoxiao hadn't calmed it down in time, he might have smashed the little horse over to save his nephew.

Sure enough, no matter how docile the beast behaved, it was still a beast that grew up eating raw meat. Qin He had no choice but to pull Sanbao to him and carefully warned him not to touch Chubby, as it would be bad if he was scratched or bitten.

Sanbao had just been scared by Chubby, so he kept his uncle's advice firmly in mind.

While the uncle and nephew were talking, Qin Xiaoxiao noticed that the fishing rod in his hand was moving, and quickly asked Qin He for help: "Uncle, the fish is hooked!"

"Be careful, don't fall into the lake." Looking at his little niece jumping very close to the lake, Qin He hurriedly pulled her away from the lake, took the fishing rod in her hand and slowly put it up.

Soon, the fish came out of the water. It was a chopstick-long diced yellow pepper. This fish has a slippery body and no scales. Its meat is delicate and tender, and it tastes very delicious when used in soup. The abdomen and dorsal fin are hard and tender.

The spikes are sharp and can bleed easily if stabbed.

What the three uncles and nephews didn't expect was that as soon as the fish was pulled to the shore, the fat man swooped down and held down the lively fish, opened his mouth and bit the whole fish head in.

It was too late for Qin He to stop him.

"Meow--" The next moment, Chubby let out a shrill scream, opened his mouth and spat out the yellow pepper, stared at it and let out a terrifying roar.

It’s no wonder that Chubby was defeated by yellow pepper. Although fish is also in the diet of black civets, black civets are naturally averse to water and cannot dive into the water to catch fish to satisfy their appetite.

They live in the deep mountains and have very few opportunities to eat fish. They usually stay by the ditch to catch fish that come upstream during the rainy season. Before today, Chubby had never seen yellow peppercorns at all and only regarded them as

Being an ordinary fish, I was careless for a moment.

"Chubby, what's wrong with you?" This was the first time Qin Xiaoxiao saw Huang Lading, and he didn't know how powerful Huang Lading was. Seeing Chuangchu looking like he wanted to tear Huang Lading into pieces, he was instantly

Don't dare to get close to it.

Qin He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He stepped forward and took the fishhook out of Huang Lading's mouth. He pointed at the hard spines on Huang Lading's dorsal fin and abdomen and said, "It stabbed the chubby mouth."

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't believe there was such a powerful fish, so she stretched out her little claws to touch the spines on Huang Lading's dorsal fin to see if it could really sting.

As a result, as soon as the little paw was extended halfway, Chuangchu slapped it back with his paw. Apparently, Chuangchu, who had just suffered a big loss, thought Huang Lading was dangerous and would not let Qin Xiaoxiao touch it.

Chubby didn't let Qin Xiaoxiao touch him, so he got into a fight with Huang Lading, stretched out his forepaws and carefully played with the yellow catfish.

The brains of fish are not very good, and this yellow pepper is the same. It just keeps flopping based on instinct. As Chubby fiddles with it, the force of its flop becomes smaller and smaller, and gradually it can no longer flop.

He collapsed on the ground and became a useless fish.

"Meow!" Chubby was so excited that he bit the tail of Huang La Ding unceremoniously and ate it with big mouthfuls, completely forgetting that Qin Xiaoxiao caught the fish and it was not for him to eat.

"Uncle Third, hurry up and put on the bait, let's catch a bigger yellow peppercorn!" Seeing Chubby squinting his eyes and eating so deliciously, Qin Xiaoxiao, who had never eaten yellow peppercorns before, got greedy and kept urging him.

Qinhe.

After Qin He put on the bait, she couldn't wait to throw the hook into the lake, dreaming about catching a yellow pepper as big as herself.

It's a pity that unlike grass carp, yellow spicy ding can grow to weigh dozens of kilograms. The chopstick-long yellow spicy diced that was eaten by Chubby is already a big fish of this type. There is no one as big as Qin Xiaoxiao.

.

The little girl fished for half an hour, but none of the dozens of yellow peppers she caught was longer than the length of chopsticks. But she did not believe in evil, nor did she believe Qin He's words. She thought that Qinghu Lake was so big, there must be bigger yellow peppers hidden there.

Man.

"Meow~" Chubby dragged his round belly, lazily rubbing Qin Xiaoxiao's chest, urging her to go home quickly. He was already tired of eating spicy yellow peppercorns and wanted to vomit after just one more look.

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at the dozen or so "tiny" yellow peppers left in the bucket, and patted his chubby head: "When I catch a big fish, we will go home."

As he finished speaking, the fishing rod in his hand trembled slightly.

Qin Xiaoxiao thought that Huang Lading had taken the bait again, so she was too lazy to ask Qin He for help, and slowly collected the fishing rod. However, she felt something was wrong as she collected it. Why was it getting heavier and heavier?

Realizing that it might be a big fish, Qin Xiaoxiao tightly grabbed the fishing rod that was about to come out, and shouted to Qin He who was telling Sanbao a story three steps away: "Uncle Sanbao, come quickly, it's a big fish!"

When Qin He heard the shouting, he looked over subconsciously, and his gentle eyes instantly turned into panic: "Smile--"

There was a loud "plop" sound, and Qin Xiaoxiao fell headfirst into the water, causing a huge splash.

The sudden change shocked Chuangchuang, who was closest to Qin Xiaoxiao, as well as Qin He and Sanbao's uncle and nephew.

Dahuang and Mieya, who were playing not far away, also heard the loud sound of water. After being stunned, they ran curiously to the lake one by one, not knowing that it was their little master who fell into the water.

"Meow!" Chubby reacted the fastest. With a roar, he jumped into the water without hesitation and swam towards Qin Xiaoxiao, who had just popped his head and was splashing in the water.

"Help, help~Gululu~" Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't swim. He drank several sips of water in a panic and subconsciously kicked his legs to swim to the shore.

At this time, Qin He also reacted and ran over quickly, not even taking off his clothes and shoes, and jumped directly into the cold lake water: "Xiao Xiao, give me your hand!"

He went to the city to study when he was young, so he couldn't swim in the Qin River. Fortunately, it was not a rough place. The lake water only reached his chest, so he could barely stand up in the water. Plus Qin Xiaoxiao

As soon as he fell into the water, he quickly grabbed Qin Xiaoxiao's hand without jumping into the middle of the lake.

At this time, Chubby also bit Qin Xiaoxiao's clothes and dragged her to swim to the shore. With the concerted efforts of one person and one cat, Qin Xiaoxiao was rescued ashore after only six or seven breaths after falling into the water.

"Three, third uncle, wuwu~" Qin Xiaoxiao was not crying, but was frightened, hugging Qin He and crying loudly.

"It's okay, it's okay. Just smile and you're not afraid!" Qin He, who was soaked all over, hugging his little niece who was wet from head to toe, was also extremely frightened. He comforted her patiently while running towards home.

Sanbao cried miserably and ran after her on her short legs, extremely afraid that something might happen to her little cousin.

Unexpectedly, Qin Xiaoxiao did not completely recover from the shock, so she pointed at the lake and shouted anxiously: "Fish, big fish! Third uncle, it's a big fish!"

This shout miraculously dispelled Qin He's fear, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh: "Farewell to the fish, third uncle has to take you home to change clothes, so as not to get cold sickness!"

The weather in early March turned from warm to cold at first, so don't be careless.

"Yuyuyu, pull the fish first, I'm going to eat the big fish!" Qin Xiaoxiao struggled violently and had to go back and pull the big fish up.

After being pulled into the water by a fish, she suffered a lot of cold and drank a lot of water. How could the little girl let it escape like this? If she didn't catch the big fish, first fry it and then fry it, it would be a shame for her to be so frightened.

Qin He was a scholar, but his strength was far inferior to that of Qin Shan and Qin Chuan, who was used to hard work. When Qin Xiaoxiao struggled, he almost lost his grip and threw him to the ground.

Thinking that the fish that could pull my little niece into the water must have run away with the fishing rod long ago, she would not give up if she didn't let my little niece take a look, so she had to say: "Okay, okay, pull the fish first and pull it up."

Let’s go home!”

After that, he hugged his excited little niece and returned to the lake.

However, what he never expected was that the fishing rod happened to get stuck on a big tree stump that was thrown into the lake by someone. The end of the fishing rod was shaking violently, and the big fish
Chapter completed!
