Gu Qingzhou said, "Catch birds."

Ten miles in the south of the Yangtze River have different pronunciations, and there are various dialects and slang words everywhere, so Si Xingpei didn't know much about the interesting things Gu Qingzhou said.

"What is catching birds?" Si Xingpei asked.

Gu Qingzhou said: "Just in an open space, support a big net, and then arrest the birds when they come to eat."

It was only at this time that Si Xingpei understood that the so-called catching birds means literally.

He was a little stunned.

Hooking Gu Qingzhou's chin, he asked, "Did you have such a boring time as a child? Is catching birds a fun thing?"

Gu Qingzhou turned his face: "I like it very much."

Si Xingpei said, "I haven't caught it. However, I can shoot a bird with a gun."

Thinking of this, his mind turned, "Let's go hunting?"

"Who wants to hunt?" Gu Qingzhou put the silver spoon in the bowl with a displeased expression, "You really don't want to catch birds?"

"Go, why don't you go?" Si Xingpei compromised without principle.

He called the adjutant to come in.

He asked the adjutant to prepare two long guns and a large net.

With the big fishing net in the trunk of the car and the long gun in the back seat, Gu Qingzhou and Si Xingpei set off.

"What are you doing with a gun?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

Si Xingpei was afraid that he would not be caught, which would make Gu Qingzhou sad, so he might as well bring a long spear and shoot a few to make her happy.

He didn't say this, but said, "Self-defense, we're going to the suburbs."

Gu Qingzhou understood.

Since we wanted to catch birds, we had to go to the woods on the outskirts of the city.

When the car drove out of the city, the asphalt road on the official road turned into a gravel road, which was very bumpy.

Si Xingpei held the steering wheel and asked while looking at the road, "Where's the fun in catching birds?"

Gu Qingzhou pondered: "I also went to pick lotus pods when I was a child, and there are others. It's fun anyway, but I always remember to catch birds."

"Winter?" Si Xingpei asked.

"No, the last time we went, it was in May and June, just like this season. On the open space of the river beach, we sowed millet, and waited until the afternoon when the birds came down." Gu Qingzhou said.

She told Si Xingpei again, "They always don't like to play with me, so I secretly followed me that time."

Si Xingpei glanced at her.

Compared with the girls in the countryside, she is more white and ruddy, and it is impossible that no boys like her.

"Why didn't I take you to play?" Si Xingpei asked.

Mentioning this, Gu Qingzhou was slightly embarrassed: "My wet nurse is strict, and so is my master. Every time a boy shows his favor to me, my wet nurse will find someone else's house.

People in the countryside are not willing to offend us, because my wet nurse is rich and my master has medical skills. There are always some disasters in the countryside, and I have to borrow some cash, and I have to rely on my wet nurse; once I feel sick, I have to rely on my master for treatment. "

Si Xingpei understood.

She is in the country, and people still regard her as "the eldest lady who takes care of the family in the city", thus separating them from her. Coupled with the straightforwardness of her wet nurse, most people would not dare to climb high.

Everyone wants face, and it is embarrassing to be approached by her wet nurse, so she simply does not allow her boy to provoke Gu Qingzhou.

"They caught a lot of birds, wrapped them in mud and baked them. After eating, they jumped into the river to swim." Gu Qingzhou said, "I divided a bird, but it was tender."

Si Xingpei asked, "Is this the only thing that you remember about playing in your childhood?"

Gu Qingzhou hummed: "Oh, this one is relatively clear and fun. When you were not at home, I was thinking about it, and I thought of it."

Si Xingpei immediately cheered up and said, "Then wait, I'll catch hundreds of them for you later, and let's bring back the stew and braise them, and make more than a dozen kinds of dishes."

Gu Qingzhou smiled and kept nodding.

She is very satisfied.

A man who can accompany her childishness is precious to her.

Gu Qingzhou is not an urchin, but he can't restrain his thoughts together.

When she was happy, human IQ was like feeding a dog, so she asked some unknown questions, such as "Si Xingpei, why are you being so kind to me?"

Si Xingpei will also answer this question seriously: "You belong to me, can't I take care of it? Who will give it to me if it is abandoned?"

Gu Qingzhou made a gesture to hit him.

Then she also asked, "What would you like me to call you affectionately?"

Si Xingpei said, "Brother Pei."

It was early summer, but Gu Qingzhou still had goosebumps.

"Apart from this?" Gu Qingzhou asked again.

Si Xingpei said, "Hani."

She endured the discomfort and asked again, "Are there any more?"

"Brother Ah Pei." Si Xingpei said.

Gu Qingzhou was completely defeated and whispered: "Forget it, not every couple needs to nickname each other, I'll keep it as it is."

Si Xingpei was puzzled and said, "Why do you want to nickname me? This is very nauseous. You can just call me by my first name, can't I just drop my surname?"

Gu Qingzhou tried it, but couldn't say it.

In the end, she remained the same and called him "Si Xingpei".

These three words alone are unusual for her, and they are also beautiful, but they are just unfamiliar to outsiders.

At the river beach in the suburbs, Si Xingpei supported the big net, and then sat under the tree with Gu Qingzhou.

There was afternoon tea in the car.

Si Xingpei took out a large felt blanket, spread it on the ground, and then took out the food box, and arranged the cake, chocolate, biscuits, a few dried fruits, and a pot of cold coffee.

Gu Qingzhou was stunned: "When did you prepare it?"

"When I asked someone to buy a big net, I casually asked the servants to prepare food and drink, and they made it." Si Xingpei said.

Gu Qingzhou sat on the ground, the sun shone in from the treetops, and the warm halo spread all over her body.

At this point in time, the birds are not yet hungry and will not come here for food, and the big net is empty.

Gu Qingzhou and Si Xingpei were sitting as if they were out for an outing.

When he came back last night, he messed around, so Gu Qingzhou didn't ask him anything serious.

"I went to Hebei this time, how was the harvest?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

"Once the war starts, the small army leaders in Hebei will always stand on the side of Governor Ye. I went to this time, it seems that I am doing business with them and running a factory, but in fact I have run through all their lines of defense." Si Xingpei road.

Gu Qingzhou snorted.

Si Xingpei added: "Once something happens, it is not difficult to control Hebei."

"Don't they fight often?" Gu Qingzhou asked again.

Si Xingpei nodded: "It's fighting, when I went, I encountered two wars."

Gu Qingzhou didn't want to say anything more.

She asked Si Xingpei again: "Are you planning to go to Nanjing? I think the Overseer is overwhelmed."

Si Xingpei said: "In politics, the Overseer is better at it. He needs to do something, otherwise he will really collapse."

Gu Qingzhou sighed and stopped talking.

At about 4:30 in the afternoon, two birds arrived under Gu Qingzhou's net and began to peck.

With this bird taking the lead, within twenty minutes, hundreds of birds came one after another.

Si Xingpei immediately went to pull down the big net, the birds scattered, most of them flew off, and the net caught a small part.

Gu Qingzhou was overjoyed, hurried forward, and tightened the net together with Si Xingpei.

She glanced at the birds in the net and said to Si Xingpei, "There are about twenty or thirty birds."

"The whole bird feast can't be done, it's more or less the same when I go back and bake it." Si Xingpei laughed.

This matter was boring from beginning to end, but Si Xingpei deliberately asked Gu Qingzhou: "Is it fun?"

Unexpectedly, Gu Qingzhou's eyes were bright, and he said with joy: "It's fun."

"It's stupid." Si Xingpei looked at her kindly, and at this moment she felt like his own child again.

In his whole life, as long as he is alive, he must be both a husband and a father, take care of her and love her, treat her as a treasure in his heart, and a jewel in his palm.

What the husband can give her, he will give her; what the father can give, he will give her. Meeting her, this became Si Xingpei's mission.

Seeing her cheerful appearance, Si Xingpei felt that he had succeeded in becoming a father and a husband, and was immediately satisfied.
