The breeze swayed the treetops, and the branches and leaves swayed.

The creek not far from the village, the water flow is clear, knocking on the stones, making a tinkling sound.

The flowing water is gurgling, and groups of small fish swim happily in the water.

"Hey, over there, there's one over there, grab it quickly."

"Why are you so stupid, let it slip away again. Behind you, there is another one behind you, grab them quickly."

"Ah! Clumsy, I might as well do it myself."

Li Yan rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs and was about to go into the water. When he was squatting by the stream to untie his shoelaces, he was scolded by Huo Baiyan: "Don't go into the water!"

"..." Li Yan pursed his lips, raised his eyelids and gave him a sideways glance, "You can't catch it, and you still won't let me do it myself,"

"The water is cold, it's not good for your health." Huo Baiyan was impatient just now, but his tone was harsh, but now seeing the grievance in the child's eyes, his heart softened all of a sudden, "I will catch it, and I will give you as many as you want. How many do you catch. Be obedient and stay out of the water."

The words were good, Li Yan squatted on the edge of the field, boredly digging a big hole in the soil in front of him, Huo Baiyan still didn't catch a single fish.

He doubted very much whether this man caught the large bowl of loach he received yesterday.

Li Yan was puzzled, and he didn't want to hold it back at all, so he asked directly, "Did you catch those loach yourself yesterday morning?"

"I caught it." Huo Baiyan stared at the fish swimming around his feet, extremely helpless, even more difficult to serve than the kid on the shore.

"You can catch so many loaches, why can't you catch a single fish?" Li Yan frowned suspiciously, and dug two handfuls of soil in the mud pit in front of him.

"Because loaches are more stupid and fish are more intelligent." Huo Baiyan nonsense calmly.

Heh... old man, I believe you!

While he wasn't paying attention, Li Yan took off his shoes and sneaked into the water.

The stream water in summer is still icy cold, and the coolness permeates into the skin. Li Yan stood there for a while before getting used to the coldness, and walked forward cautiously.

Hearing the sound of water coming from behind, Huo Baiyan looked back, and the moment he saw the child standing in the stream, the anger in his heart burst out.

Why are you so disobedient!

Seeing that the anger in his heart was about to soar, Huo Baiyan hurriedly took a deep breath, maintained a gentle expression, and coaxed patiently: "Speak well, the stream is cold, it will affect the child in your stomach."

Li Yan has a very stubborn temper, if he tried to persuade him in other ways, he probably wouldn't listen.But as long as the little cub in his stomach is involved, he will be extremely nervous.

Looking down at the small fish in the stream, Li Yan raised his eyes to meet Huo Baiyan's gaze, and said seriously: "Then you have to promise, you must help me catch the fish."

"I promise, I'll grab a lot of them for you." In order to coax the children, Huo Baiyan can say anything, even if he swears to the sky now, he can immediately stretch out his fingers.

"Okay, then I'll trust you." Li Yan reluctantly reached out to touch the clear stream, turned around, and obediently went ashore.

Huo Baiyan also followed to the stream, let the child sit on the small bench, picked up the coat he had taken off, dried his feet, and helped him put on his shoes and socks himself.

Huo Baiyan himself was covered in water, so he didn't dare to hug Li Yan, so he could only reach out and pat his head, "Sit here obediently, don't run around. If you don't obey me, I'll beat your ass."

After he finished speaking, he turned around, and a child's scolding sound immediately sounded behind him, "Huo Baiyan, you are sick, you helped me put on my shoes, and touched my head again!"

Huo Baiyan raised the corners of his lips, smiled lightly and said, "Honey, your feet don't smell bad, they smell good."

"..." Li Yan's mouth twitched, what else could he say?

I can't refute that my feet are smelly!

Li Yan was bored sitting by the stream digging a hole, while Huo Baiyan was earnestly catching fish for the children in the stream.

Who would have imagined that Mr. Huo, who once dominated the business world in a suit and leather shoes, would one day be shirtless and roll up his trousers, fishing in a small stream in the countryside.

Moreover, it's not for eating, it's just for fishing for your own children to play with.

After Li Yan dug one hole, he continued to dig the second hole. He dug three holes in succession, but he didn't find a single fish.

He became a little impatient, "Huo Baiyan, can you do it?"

"Honey, if you call me husband, I'll catch you right away." Huo Baiyan seductively said.

Li Yan rolled his eyes towards the air, seeing that you don't look smart, and you don't look like you can catch fish.

He was ready to move, but still wanted to go into the water by himself.

But he was worried that the cub in his stomach would be affected, so he hesitated after thinking about it.

"If you don't catch it anymore, I'm going back to have lunch. You can catch it yourself here." Li Yan stretched his waist, and stood by the stream for a while, "Okay, okay, no more catching, You're so stupid, you can't catch it."

After a busy morning, Huo Baiyan didn't even catch a small fish with long fingers.

He really wasn't very good at catching fish.

Huo Baiyan looked at the sun, it was almost noon, he had to take the children home for dinner, and he must not be hungry.

"Yanyan, then we'll catch it in the afternoon." Huo Baiyan went ashore, picked up the small bench on the ground and walked back.

Li Yan ignored him, bouncing and walking ahead, Huo Baiyan was terrified watching him, afraid that he would fall.

"Yanyan, don't go to the edge, go inside."

"Oh." Li Yan walked towards the middle of the road obediently, and complained again: "You are so long-winded, I am not a child, how can I fall so easily."

He expressed displeasure in his mouth, but he was very honest in his actions. He didn't continue to move to the edge, and hopped obediently in the middle of the road.

The two returned to grandpa's house, Li Yan smelled the scent and went to the kitchen, Huo Baiyan went into the room to take a shower.

At the dinner table, Zhou Mingshu didn't know the situation, which pot was left unopened and which pot to pick up, "Yan Yan, Bai Yan must have caught a lot of fish for you this morning, and asked your grandfather to cook you crispy fried small fish, it's delicious. "

Li Yan licked his lips greedily, then raised his head resentfully, "Not even one, he's too stupid, Xiao Yu is smarter than him."

"..." After being scorned by his own children, Huo Baiyan smiled helplessly, "I'll catch you in the afternoon, and I will definitely let my baby eat crispy fried fish."

Li Yan, who just took a sip of soup, almost spit out, blushing and glaring at him, "Who is your baby, don't yell, I have a name!"

"Well, okay, that's your Yanyan baby." Huo Baiyan put a fried golden crispy meatball into his bowl, "Yanyan baby is not angry, I will definitely fulfill your wish."

Li Yan swallowed the balls viciously, and threatened him ferociously, "If you shout again, I'll sew your mouth shut with a needle."

Zhou Mingshu and Li Honghua listened to the bickering of the two children, silently reduced their sense of presence, and looked at each other, silently communicating when the wedding should be held.

Feeling drowsy after eating and drinking, Huo Baiyan helped his grandfather put the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen, and when he came out, he saw the child nestled on the sofa in the living room and fell asleep.

He stretched out his hand and carefully picked him up, went upstairs and put him on the bed in the room.

When Li Yan fell asleep, he was obediently obedient, neither fussy nor skinny, quietly nestled under the quilt, only his furry head was exposed.

Huo Baiyan gently tucked the quilt up for him, touched his forehead, and walked out of the room lightly.

It has been more than three months since the cub in her stomach, and Li Yan is getting more and more lethargic.I can sleep for several hours in a nap, and when I wake up, the time displayed on the phone screen is already past three in the afternoon.

Li Yan went downstairs with his slippers on, and saw his grandfather sawing wood in the yard.He looked around several times, but did not find Huo Baiyan's existence.

"Grandpa, has that Huo come home?"

"He'll catch fish for you." Li Honghua didn't have much hostility towards that kid from the Huo family.Now his precious grandson is still pregnant with that person's child, no matter how unwilling he is, he can't break up the family of three.

"Catch fish?" Li Yan squatted on the ground, chewing these two words repeatedly, always feeling very unreliable.

"Grandpa, let me go to the river to have a look." He got up and walked out.

Li Honghua kindly urged, "Yanyan, be careful when walking, don't fall."

Li Yan: "..."

Grandpa, how old I am, how can I fall when I walk!

The afternoon sun was relatively strong, and Li Yan swayed unsteadily against the shady wall, walking slowly.

He walked slowly to the edge of the stream and watched from a distance that there were many people standing in the river, all shirtless fishing for things in the water.

Is this creek so popular?

Li Yan tilted his head, walked over suspiciously, and saw Huo Baiyan standing neatly on the bank without getting into the water.

He sneaked up behind Huo Baiyan, stretched out his hand...

Before she had time to play a prank, the familiar deep voice rang out, "Yanyan, have you had enough sleep?"

Li Yan withdrew his arm awkwardly, "It's okay, I won't be sleepy for the time being."

After saying that, he tilted his head, just in time to see two small fish jumping out of the bamboo basket not far away.

His eyes lit up, Li Yan ran over excitedly, picked up the stranded small fish from the mud, and looked down at the fish in the bamboo basket.

So many, it can be eaten for many days when made into crispy fried fish.

He threw the two fish in his hand into it, patted the remaining water stains on his palm, and said with disgust: "Look at others, they caught a lot. Unlike you, you didn't catch any of them."

Huo Baiyan opened his arms, pulled the child into his arms from behind, and rubbed his chin on the top of his furry head, "These are all yours."

"What?" Li Yan's eyes widened in shock, thinking he had heard it wrong, "It's all mine?"

"En." Huo Baiyan pinched his ears, and said in a low voice: "I hired those people in the river to catch fish for my baby."

Li Yan: "..."

It's great to be rich, but it's not sincere.

"Let me tell you, you can't do this. You can't just spend money to solve it when you encounter difficulties." Li Yan turned into an old man with a white beard, and pretended to raise his hand to stroke his non-existent beard. He said earnestly: "True knowledge comes from practice. If you don't go into the water to experience it, how do you know that you can't catch fish?"

"Then I'll pour these fish back into the river." Huo Baiyan made a gesture to reach the bamboo basket on the ground, but Li Yan grabbed his arm nervously, "No, I've already caught these fish, and they are mine. The rest, I don’t want it anymore, you tell them not to fish it.”

Li Yan squatted in front of the bamboo basket happily, and reached out to touch the fish inside.

When it comes to sustainable development, we can’t catch up all at once, otherwise what will we eat next year?
