Gateway to Happiness

Lu Xiaoshu, Lu Qi and several other children are burying firecrackers in a well trodden snow pile, ready to light the lead wire to see the scene of the firecrackers exploding and splashing with snow and ice. They also discuss to wait for the snowball fight in the woods when the snow gets bigger tomorrow. When they look up, they see their mother and their little aunt standing there waving their hands. The two brothers and sisters look at each other.

"What's the matter with your mother?"

"Come and tell us to go back! Let's go and come out tomorrow, so as not to be scolded! "

"Oh, all right!"

Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help but clap her red hand behind Lu Qi. Lu Qi then said to the crowd, "we're going back. We'll call you tomorrow for a snowball fight!"

Their brothers and sisters have always led the public to play. If they are not there, there will be less leaders and less fun. They will happily agree.

"Look at this little hand that is red with cold, and so is his face! How can you be so stupid? I don't know how to go home when it's cold! " Miao Cuilan patted the snowflake on Lu Xiaoshu's body. She frowned and reprimanded Lu Qi. She looked at Lu Qi and said, "go back quickly. It's not all frozen! You, brother, you are not afraid of the cold and don't think about your two sisters

Tong yu'er smiles and wants to hold Lu Xiaoshu. Lu Xiaoshu doesn't want to hold Lu Xiaoshu. She struggles and laughs and says, "I'll go by myself, my little aunt! Mother, don't blame your brother. It's not cold at all! "

"You said! If you have a cold wind, you will know whether it is cold or not! " Miao Cuilan stares at her. Several people walked home together. Again and again, there are other adults out to find their own children back.

It was snowing harder and harder. When I opened the door in the evening, the world outside had completely changed. It was a snowy white with ups and downs and soft lines. The snowflakes are more dense than the willow catkins flying around in spring. They 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 came from nowhere. The snow fell in the snow-white yard. It jumped and pecked, chirped twice and flew away.

Lu Xiaoshu was lying at the door and saw it. He turned his head and ran to Mr. Wu, pulling his arm around him and saying, "Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu, shall we catch sparrows tomorrow? Mr. Wu, teach me

Mr. Wu told her that she couldn't grind it any more, so he said with a smile, "OK, OK, I'll teach you that you can't make any more mischief! If you tell me to find that it makes other people's chickens fly and dogs jump, I won't teach you any more! "

Mr. Wu is good at making all kinds of traps for catching birds and small animals, such as hares, mountain otters, badgers, hedgehogs, foxes, etc. Lu Xiaoshu has been grinding him to teach himself some simple. In fact, Mr. Wu only taught her children as much as they were curious. However, Lu Xiaoshu was particularly enlightened on these things, which was very important to learn.

When she was too young to go up the mountain to try it out, she tried it in her own yard. But her own chickens and ducks are very familiar with her. It's too easy to lead them into the hub under that suit. So she turned her mind to other people's poultry.

The children in the village usually have less entertainment activities. When they play, they don't care whether they own chickens or not. When they see that there are "prey" in the quilt, they clap their hands and laugh, which makes the flat haired animals giggle and scream, and the children clap and laugh more and more. However, the adults were very angry. After being reprimanded, they had to ask the culprit. So, someone went to Xiaoshu's house to complain

Hearing Mr. Wu's promise, Lu Xiaoshu was overjoyed. His eyes lit up and nodded repeatedly to ensure that he would not be foolhardy. He had to murmur and explain that it was not his fault.

With a smile, Mr. Wu said, "it's snowing hard enough, but we have to wait another two or three days to catch the sparrows. Tomorrow is not enough."

Lu Xiaoshu listened to a little disappointed, but thought that he promised anyway, but also afraid that he would regret to escape? He also agreed happily.

Mr. Wu said with a smile, "it's easy for me to teach you. You can recite two ancient poems related to snow to Mr. Wu."

"Did you teach me that?" Lu Xiaoshu turned her eyes and recited with a smile: "there is no flower in the new year. Grass sprouts appear in the early spring of February; but the snow is too late for spring, so she wears the garden trees to make flying flowers." Another way: "six out of the flying flowers into the house, sit and watch the green bamboo become qiongzhi; now it is good to look at the high-rise buildings, cover up the evil road Qi of the world."

As soon as the tender and crisp voice stopped, Lu Zhong and others began to laugh.

"Good! Good! It's a good memory, little girl Mr. Wu patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile: "little girl is really smart. After two years of age, I will go to the school to study with you. Will you accept you as a female disciple?"

Lu Zhong and Miao Cuilan are surprised to hear Mr. Wu say this, but they are even more happy. Parents are willing to see their children praised by others, especially if this person is not an ordinary person.

Miao Cuilan opened her mouth and was about to say "I don't want to agree with you soon." however, Lu Xiaoshu shook her head without hesitation and said, "but I don't want to. It's more fun to play. I'm studying in school How stuffy it is

You're kidding! I read those books in my last life, or did I ask my parents to bully and seduce her and make surprise attacks from time to time, so she has no choice but to go. Do you want to come again in this life? No more! What's more, after reading those poems and songs, is it useful? For her family, learning four books and five classics is even more useless!"That is, it's good to study in school Good... " Lu Qi deeply thought that Ran's approval immediately, agreed to half saw the mother frown coldly stare over the eyes, immediately withered momentum to eliminate the voice.

Mr. Wu was stunned. He burst out laughing and said with a smile, "you little girl, are you still young?"

Lu Zhong also laughed and said to Mr. Wu, "it's not true. When a child is older, what kind of school and what to study in will be understood."

So he ignored the matter and talked about something else.

Brother and sister were looking forward to catching sparrows in two or three days' time, but Mr. Wu was also trustworthy. As expected, he brought bamboo strips, bamboo sticks, string and nets to come over this morning, and asked Lu Qi to find a flat and shallow dustpan, a shovel and a broom to sweep the snow in the yard and sweep out an open space.

Miao Chuhe was very curious. He said that he had never played this game before, so he also went to help him and took a shovel to shovel snow. Tong yu'er also felt rare, and looked at it with a smile. The yard was full of laughter.

Lu Xiaoshu could not help but present the scene of catching birds in the snow in his textbook when he didn't know when. It was very similar to what was happening in front of him. He enjoyed it very much.

Mr. Wu was quick to set up the trap and spread a layer of bait specially fried with egg yolk and millet. Then he clapped his hands and said, "it's done! Wait for the net So he led them away and hid in the dark.

After a heavy snow, the cold weather, sparrows already hungry, not long, there are three or two wings fluttering down to peck at the fragrant millet.

"Look, look! Here comes the Sparrow All three children were excited.

Mr. Wu said with a smile: "calm down, it's not time yet."

Eager to try Lu Qi and so on had to bear to continue to wait, opened his eyes to see the small sparrows pecking very happily, in the heart was very anxious.

"Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu, in case it's full and flies!" Lu Qi can't help but say.

Mr. Wu said with a smile: "if you fly, you will fly. If you fly, you will come again."

"That's right, brother. What are the shrimps? What are we going to catch Lu Xiaoshu also said.

"You know it Mr. Wu is funny.

After a while, five or six sparrows fell down, but the two or three of them had eaten enough and flew away one after another, but as Mr. Wu said, some of them flew away and others came. After a while, there were at least 20 or 30 of them in the small area, and they were gray.

Because of the coming and going, sparrows are free to come and go, and they are not aware of the danger here. They are skipping and pecking and chirping happily. Sometimes they fight with each other for entertainment or comb their feathers leisurely. They regard this place as a paradise.

"All right, all right!" Without blinking his eyes, Mr. Wu gently picked up the string pressed on the ground. His body tilted slightly, his elbows were raised flat, and he pulled fiercely toward the angle behind the slope. With a crash, the dustpan and the bamboo stick supporting him fell to the ground. He took the net and covered it quietly and quickly. He firmly netted all the sparrows in it, and the three children rushed out cheerfully "Don't move!" Mr. Wu said Followed out, carefully untied the tied net, all the sparrows in the inside.

Looking at these sparrows with frightened mung bean like eyes, Lu Qi happily said, "great, wonderful! Let's roast it, sir. It must be delicious

"Good, good! By the way, catch two fish and roast them together! There's still meat at home! There are vegetables in the garden Lu Xiaoshu was also very happy.

Mr. Wu said with a smile, "can vegetables be baked? Where did you hear that? "

Lu Xiaoshu said with a smile: "I'll find out if I try anyway."

Mr. Wu said with a smile, "that's right. Let's have a try! Let's prepare separately. Qi and I will go fishing and deal with sparrows, and the rest will be left to you! "

Brother and sister several hastily agreed, happy to go.

So he picked up a clean place on the porch. Miao Chuhe went to 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 yu'er carried a basket to the garden to pick vegetables. Coriander, leek, vegetable sprouts, garlic sprouts and lettuce were all made. Lu Xiaoshu actually missed roasting eggplant and green pepper, but it was a pity at this time Wait, where can I find such a thing? I have to give up.
