There is a river in front of Qili Village, and it is a river with fish, so every household has many fishing nets. Even if the family is living the worst life, if there is no fishing net, there will definitely be a fish basket.

With so many children in Lao Zhou’s family, how could there be no fishing nets?

Man Bao learned the trick and ran home to look through the fishing nets.

Of course Datou and the others had to join in the fun, and they couldn't pick wheat while rummaging around. As for their parents, the land was so far away that they didn't want to walk over to find work.

So a group of children divided the work and worked together. One group followed Manbao back to find the fishing net, and the other group went to find the tall, straight wooden sticks.

Man Bao then dragged the fishing net out and saw Bai Shanbao standing aside looking at her, with a look of unhappiness on his face.

Man Bao reacted belatedly, "Hey, is it time?"

They made an appointment to do homework together.

Bai Shanbao couldn't help but tease her, "It's almost noon now, is it already midnight? Don't you even look at the sun?"

Man Bao said without raising his head: "The sun is so dazzling, who would raise his head to look at it? It's always so hot anyway."

But being late was indeed her fault. Oh, no, it was not being late, but breaking the appointment. So Manbao coughed sheepishly and apologized, "Don't be angry, I won't be late tomorrow."

"It's still tomorrow, so you won't do your homework today?"

Man Bao struggled for a while and said, "I want to catch birdie first."

Bai Shanbao tilted his head and asked with great interest: "Catch a bird?"

"Yes, those birds in the fields, there are so many of them."

Bai Shanbao looked at the fishing net and asked hesitantly, "Aren't fishing nets used to catch fish?"

A quarter of an hour later, a group of children gathered under the small tree and struggled to put the fishing net on the stick. Then when they were about to move forward, the fishing net fell off the stick with a snap.

Everyone:......

Qian watched with a smile in his eyes. He ignored them and only warned: "Don't break the fishing net, or I'll beat you up when your parents come back."

Man Bao: "Mom, you are my mother."

Qian glanced at Datou and the others.

Datou and others wiped the sweat from their foreheads and felt that grandma was partial, but they still promised not to damage it.

Although Manbao had already explained it, Bai Shanbao was still very doubtful about it, "Can this really catch birds?"

Man Bao was full of confidence, "It should be possible. Brother Zhou Hu can do it, so we should be able to do it too."

Da Tou and Da Ya tied the fishing net again, and then everyone confidently moved the fishing net to the front with sticks. Then in order not to scare the birds, everyone except Da Tou and Da Ya, who were the strongest, moved back to the back.

Da Tou and Da Ya struggled to hold on to the sticks. After a while, a bird landed on the ground and walked slowly this way...

The bird just walked under the net, and Da Tou immediately knocked the stick down. Da Ya saw it and quickly let go of the stick. The net fell down with a snap. The bird standing on the ground immediately screamed and flapped its wings dexterously.

It flew out, and a stick hit a bird. It fell to the ground, but before they could rush to catch it, it flew up again and flew away from their heads.

There was nothing under the fishing net.

Everyone:......

Man Bao rolled up his sleeves ambitiously and said, "Let's do it again."

Everyone picked up the fishing nets and rearranged them.

At this time, Lao Zhou had already made two trips back and forth. He put down the bamboo basket and sat under a small tree to rest for a while. He took a look at their operations and couldn't help turning his head and said to Qian: "I remember that the waiter used to be

You caught the bird this way, right?"

Qian said "Yeah" and said: "Learned it from Zhou Hu's father. He has been playing with Zhou Hu since he was a child and learned a lot of skills from Zhou Hu's father."

Lao Zhoutou looked at Man Bao who was busy running around not far away and asked, "Why is Man Bao suddenly interested in this matter?"

Qian also looked at Man Bao and said nonchalantly: "Grow up, maybe. I remember that he used to like these things at this age. He could climb trees easily, and the boss could only follow us to pick up wheat ears.

He can already climb trees and dig out bird's nests and catch frogs in the fields."

If they hadn't strictly prohibited children from going near the water, he might still be able to catch fish.

Zhou Lang also came back as if he had lost half his life. He glanced at the big ones and two heads among the children with envy, and thought regretfully, children are so good. I used to feel that it would be good to grow up, and I was looking forward to it all day long.

Growing up, but now it seems that growing up means having to work.

So it's better to be a child, just eat, drink and have fun, and don't worry about anything else.

Zhou Lang sighed, squatted down next to his father, and turned to watch a group of children messing around.

Lao Zhoutou didn't realize it when he was resting. When he saw Lao Si squatting here with him, he immediately became unhappy, so he patted his butt and got up, kicked him and said, "Why are you standing there? Go quickly."

Zangmaizi, your wife has almost prepared lunch, do you still want to have lunch?"

Zhou Lang was stunned for a moment, then stood up slowly to pack the wheat.

Old Zhou sat back and waved to him from a distance, "Put mine in too."

Zhou Lang paused for a moment and was about to step forward to fill his father's bamboo basket. Unexpectedly, Lao Zhou glanced at him and said, "Fill yours first, and then fill mine."

Zhou Lang's face was so bitter that juice almost dripped from his face.

When Wu Lang and Liu Lang came back, they happened to see him pretending to be wheat with a depressed look on his face. He didn't care much. While pretending to be his own, he watched Man Bao and the others busy there, "Fourth brother, do you think they can catch birds?"

?”

"It's weird if you can catch it," Zhou Lang said: "This method is useless to anyone except Zhou Hu."

Zhou Hu didn't hide it. Most people in the village knew how he caught birds. Many young people also learned how to catch birds, but they never caught them.

Moreover, although the birds look delicious, they don’t have much meat. Who wants to spend so much time catching them?

If you have the time, you might as well go down the river to fish. A fish is bigger than a bird, right?

If Man Bao was trying to eat meat, she would not have the patience to persist after failing several times. However, she was doing it for points, so even though she failed four or five times in a row, she did not give up and was still ambitious to continue.

But Lao Zhoutou and Qian didn't allow them to continue. Zhou Dalang and the others had already finished harvesting the wheat in the fields and came back, so they came to pick the wheat.

Zhou Dalang couldn't pick, so he helped put the wheat in the bamboo basket. With them joining in, the speed was much faster. In a short time, they had finished picking the wheat pile, and all the ears of wheat left on the grass were picked up.

So Lao Zhoutou and Mr. Qian sent a group of children home and said, "It's time to have lunch. The sun is so bright. Don't bask in it outside. What if we get heatstroke?"

Manbao and the others could only reluctantly follow him back.

Mr. Qian said to Mr. Qian: "Catch the chickens at home and eat all the wheat grains left in the field."

Xiao Qian responded and went home to catch the chickens.

Man Bao & Bai Shan Bao:......
