Second uncle asks for wife

When I was a child, my second uncle, who was still single at the age of 28, always loved to come to my house to play. He always took me to catch sparrows and eels. At that time, he had not yet started a family, and he was not as fierce and devilish as my uncle.

The winter in the early 1980s was still relatively cold. I remember that one winter snow fell very heavily, and it was continuous and heavy snow. It took three or five days to do this, and even the door didn't come out. The only thing I could do was to look out through the single-layer glass wooden window and look out at the falling snow. I looked up and saw the snow all over the sky, getting closer and closer, and gradually became more and more sparse. The ground was already covered with snow, like a pile of silver and jade, as if I had entered a fairy tale world; suddenly, A familiar figure like a rib skeleton appeared and was gradually approaching. Just as I was muttering who it was, the figure had already walked to the window where I was stunned. The thin face was carved with a pair of eyes that were not big but powerful, but were energetic. However, under the collapsed nose bridge were two large black holes, which were his nostrils. I looked up and saw him staring at me with four eyes, and a smiling mouth grinning at the bottom of my ears! It's my second uncle, so I won't be bored!

I immediately ran over the cold window to open the door to greet my second uncle. My second uncle was only about 28 years old at that time, and was a young man, but he was still a bachelor, so he had time to play with me, but he was not as scared and hated as his uncle. He always looked like he greeted people with a smile. "Would you like to catch sparrows for you?"

"Of course, that's great"

"Then come over with a chopstick."

He took a big sieve off the hanging wall, and then found a long nylon thread nearby, tied the bottom of the chopsticks. After preparing, he walked outside with heavy snow, supported one end of the sieve with one end of the chopsticks, and buried the nylon thread in the snow, grabbed a handful of rice from his pocket, sprinkled some around the sieve and nearby places, and then most of the remaining rice was scattered in the innermost and central place of the sieve, and then slowly followed the other nylon thread. The snow returned to the window and waited quietly. The snow had made the sparrows so hungry that they were dizzy. The color of the rice was still in sharp contrast with the whiteness of the snow. I saw that there were several sparrows on the ground from when they began to gradually start. I looked closely and found that some of them flew out of the gaps under the eaves, and some came out of the snow-capped branches. After a while, the ground was already dark, full of sparrows that were hungry. The rice outside the sieve was robbed by them in a short while, and gradually walked towards the bait rice in the middle of the sieve. ......

"One, two, three..."
