?“ Daddy!" cried Xiaohua, "why are you catching snakes again?" ”

"Oh, Xiaohua, haven't we been on the street for a long time. It's been a long time since the family has opened meat, I thought, you still have a body, if you don't have meat to eat, you won't grow tall, you see this yellow-bellied dragon, there are three or four pounds, let's kill it tonight, you can have a good meal. Dad told you, snake soup is the best. ”

"Daddy!" Xiaohua continued to shout, "didn't we say that we should do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and do more good deeds? You're about to let the snake go, you're going to let the snake go. ”

"But, Xiaohua, you're still growing your body. It's okay if Mom and Dad don't have meat to eat, but if you don't have meat to eat, you won't grow taller, you know?"

Recently, I have been busy with work and have not had time to go to the town to buy things, so the family has not opened meat since eating bacon.

When I was working today, I met a yellow-bellied dragon and caught it.

He didn't think much about it at the time, he just wanted to add a little nutrition to Xiaohua. But who knew that this child's reaction was so big, and he actually resisted eating snakes so much.

"I told you a long time ago, Xiaohua definitely doesn't want to eat it, so let's let it go. Another figure appeared.

It's a woman.

She is Xiaohua's mother. Xiaohua's mother is not very weak, although she is not very tall, but she is stronger than ordinary women.

"But, Xiaohua has to eat meat. Xiaohua has a long body, and she has to use her brain to study, without nutritional supplements, her learning will fall behind. "Daddy Xiaohua still wants to fight for it.

But Xiaohua refused, and shouted vigorously for her father to release the big snake.

In desperation, Xiaohua's father had no choice but to follow her wishes. As he walked into the distance, he looked back at Xiaohua and said, "Xiaohua, then Dad really let the snake go, Dad let the snake go, and you won't have any meat to eat." ”

"I don't eat meat, I don't eat meat, you're going to let the snake go. Xiaohua shouted.

"Oh well. "Daddy Little Flower walked out of the distance of twenty or thirty meters, and then put the yellow-bellied dragon on the ground.

In the bright moonlight, the snake skin of the three- or four-pound yellow-bellied dragon was a little shiny.

After putting the snake down, Daddy Flower returned to the front of the house.

Xiaohua's mother stared at the place where he had just released the snake, and wondered, "Is the snake dead?" Why don't you leave?"

Xiaohua looked at it in surprise, and sure enough, she saw the big snake in the place where her father had released the snake just now.

Why doesn't it go?

She was bold and walked ten meters.

The serpent just lay on the ground, looking at her with its head upright, neither forward nor backward, just looking at her quietly.

"You go quickly, don't go, wait a minute, my dad will come to arrest you again." Xiaohua frightened.

The serpent was indifferent.

Seeing that the big snake would not leave, Xiaohua was anxious, picked up a small pebble on the ground, and threw it at the big snake: "You go, go quickly, go quickly! Do you also want to lie in my house to cheat and eat and drink, there is no meat in my house, you go quickly." ”

"Little flower, leave it alone, wait a minute, it will go on its own. It's cold, get inside. Xiaohua's mother urged.

Xiaohua still refused, picked up a small pebble again, and threw it in front of the big snake: "Go quickly, do you think I'm so easy to deceive? I've been fooled once, and I won't fall for you again." ”

The serpent moved, looked at her, and left.

Watching the big snake go away, Xiaohua suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

She looked back at her mother, her mouth flattened, and her big eyes full of tears sparkled in the moonlight: "Mom, you say, did the snake also have its family taken away by the bad guys?

Xiaohua's mother was slightly stunned, and her eyes were wet.

She reached out and hugged her emaciated daughter.

In the moonlight, they hugged each other tightly, as if they were afraid of losing each other.

Xiaohua's father said, "Okay, let's go into the house." The wind is blowing. ”

When the wind comes, it will be very cold, but no matter how cold it is, it can't compare to the heart that has lost a loved one.

You say, can this gust of wind blow far away?

This moon, can it shine into the distance?

Xiaohua looked up at the moon, as if she could see her sister in the moon.

Chen Yang and Tang Lifen have been standing inside the door. Neither of them spoke, just looked at the picture that was a little strange to them.

When Xiaohua's father turned around, he saw the two people standing in the door.

He hurriedly drove away the sad look on his face, and looked at Tang Lifen with a happy face: "Ah, you are Teacher Tang." ”

Tang Lifen smiled: "Yes, I am Xiaohua's homeroom teacher, hello, Xiaohua's father, I am bothering you today." ”

When Xiaohua's mother heard the voice, she hurriedly wiped her eyes, and then pulled Xiaohua back to the door. "No trouble, no trouble, Mr. Tang, it is our honor for you to come. ”

Daddy Xiaohua already regretted letting go of the snake at this time.

I shouldn't have listened to Xiaohua if I knew it earlier. Now that the snake has been released, it will be difficult to catch it again.

However, the snake probably didn't go far yet.

Thinking of this, Xiaohua's father hurriedly said to Tang Lifen: "Teacher Tang, you go into the room and sit down, and I will go and catch that snake back and make soup for you to drink." ”

This teacher came to the house, and if there was no meat to entertain him, it would not be good. Besides, I've been listening to Xiaohua say that this Teacher Tang takes care of her very much, so she can't be rude.

But as soon as she heard this, Xiaohua was anxious.

She hugged her father, who turned around and walked out, tilted her little head, and begged: "Dad, Dad, don't catch it, don't catch it, let it go, don't catch it." ”

This time, it wasn't the tears that wet the eyes, but the two wet tear stains hanging on the little face.

"Oh, Xiaohua, you are obedient, come into the house. Xiaohua's father ignored this, and just said, "Teacher Tang came to our house for dinner, we have to treat her well." Besides, didn't you say that the teacher took good care of you at school? ”

"No, no, no, no, don't catch, don't catch, let it go!" Xiaohua shook her little head vigorously, and the sound of crying almost tore her throat.

"Xiaohua, why are you so disobedient?" Xiaohua's father got angry, raised his palm and slapped Xiaohua's buttocks, and scolded, "Let go, if you don't let go, Dad will still spank you." ”

No matter how much my butt hurts, I don't feel distressed.

Xiaohua still hugged her father and did not allow him to move forward.

"Dad, have you forgotten? You told me before that we should do more good deeds and accumulate virtues, so that God will be moved by us, bless my sister, and let my sister come home early. Dad, have you forgotten? Dad! Have you forgotten? Dad! Don't catch snakes! Don't catch snakes!"

Xiaohua cried and shouted, as if she wanted to put all her strength into this cry.

The evening breeze was blowing, blowing her thin clothes, blowing her thin body, but she was not cold.

She knew that her missing sister would be colder and more scared.

Can this wind blow her words to my sister?

Can this moon light up the way home and let my sister go home?

And those little creatures who have been saved by her, if you want to repay the favor, please bring my sister back.

Xiaohua's father stiffened in place, following Xiaohua's crying and crying.

A tall old man, just like that, cried.

The clear tears flowed down his old face, making him look like he had aged more than ten years all at once.

He squatted down, hugged Xiaohua tightly, choked and comforted: "Xiaohua, Dad won't catch snakes, don't catch snakes, Dad will never catch snakes again in the future." Let's go catch a chicken, and we'll eat chicken tonight. ”

Tang Lifen and Chen Yang glanced at each other, a little confused.

They still don't understand why Xiaohua is so resistant to catching snakes. And she cried and said sister or something, what does that mean?

However, in this situation, it is difficult for the two of them to ask.

Xiaohua and her father went to the backyard to catch chickens, and Xiaohua's mother was busy greeting the two. She made a cup of tea with hot water for the two of them, and said with a smile: "Teacher Tang, you have a cup of tea first, and you will have dinner later." ”

Chen Yang and Tang Lifen were actually a little embarrassed after seeing the scene just now. After all, before they came, they already knew that Xiaohua was the most difficult poor student in the class, but when the two came, they didn't even buy the dishes they wanted to eat tonight。。。。。。

Therefore, it is not Xiaohua's father who is rude, but the two of them.

Tang Lifen secretly glared at Chen Yang, and then felt puzzled, and pinched his arm again.

Chen Yang's face was flushed with pain, and he asked, "Why are you pinching me?" ”

Tang Lifen saw that Xiaohua's mother was no longer in the living room, so she said, "It's all your fault, if you hadn't stopped me, I wouldn't have come in empty-handed." ”

Chen Yang knew that he was wrong, so he had to say: "Oh, I know it's wrong, I know it's wrong."

"What's the use of knowing that it's wrong?" Tang Lifen didn't spare him, "Anyway, it's up to you to help Xiaohua's family get out of poverty, you can do it yourself." ”

Tang Lifen knew that Chen Yang was also the owner of a small workshop, so her idea was that it was better to let Chen Yang give Xiaohua's parents a job.

Although Xiaohua's parents are much older than his third uncle and aunt, they still look very strong, and it shouldn't be a problem to help him do some work.

Tang Lifen didn't say these words, she thought Chen Yang would definitely understand.

After a while, Xiaohua and her father grabbed one of the fattest chickens and returned to the front yard.

Actually, Xiaohua is very reluctant to this chicken. Although this chicken was raised at home, killing it is not a bad thing, but this chicken is already so big, and it will definitely lay big eggs in the future.

Larger eggs are always more popular with customers.

She used to go to town with her dad every Saturday or Sunday to sell eggs and other things.

Every time, those rich people would be the first to pick up the big eggs, and finally the small ones would be left and had to be sold for five cents each.

There are a lot of chickens in the house, and they can lay about 100 eggs a week, and if they are sold in the town, they can be sold for at least 70 or 80 yuan. That's the living expenses of their family.

However, last week, I didn't go to town because Xiaohua kicked the quilt at night and caught a cold.

Therefore, I had to kill chickens to entertain the teacher tonight. After all, there is no meat left at home.

But as long as there is a little meat, Xiaohua will never allow her father to kill chickens.

"Dad, you say, if we don't kill this chicken, will it be grateful to us, and then desperately lay big, big eggs to repay us?" asked Xiaohua tactfully.

What she meant was, Dad, or we might as well stop killing chickens.

Daddy Xiaohua has already grabbed the head of the chicken and plucked some of the feathers off the chicken's neck. He grabbed the chicken in one hand and the kitchen knife in the other, and said without his head partially: "Xiaohua, roosters don't lay eggs." ”

After that, he swiped the blade of the kitchen knife lightly against the neck of the chicken that had been dehaired, and saw the bright red blood dripping into the bowl.

The bowl is already mixed with salted water.

Xiaohua looked at the big and felt very sad. So when it was time to eat, she ate two large chicken legs in a row.

It's the so-called turning grief into appetite.

Seeing Xiaohua eating with a greasy face, Xiaohua's mother still couldn't help but say, "Xiaohua, you eat slowly, no one will rob you." ”

Xiaohua puffed out her cheeks, grinned her oily little mouth, smirked twice, and hurriedly put the chicken leg to her mouth, and tore off a piece of tender and delicious chicken.

"This chicken is so delicious. Tang Lifen was amazed, "It's even better than what I ate at your house yesterday." ”

Chen Yang pouted: "That's because you're extremely hungry now." ”

"No, no, no. Tang Lifen shook her head and vetoed, "This chicken is really fragrant and fragrant, you eat a piece and try it, it is the kind of fragrance that is sweet to the soul." ”

Chen Yang thought it was funny, how could it be so exaggerated? He picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth. Before my teeth could cut through the chicken, I was numbed by a natural fragrance.

Chen Yang was surprised! The roast goose at the inn in Yuelai was tasted with a bite of osmanthus flowers, but the fragrance contained in this chicken was something he had never felt before.

It's not osmanthus, it's not orchids, it's not rice flowers, it's not golden cherry blossoms, it's not Yingshan red, it's not the fragrance of those flowers that grow in the park.

Its flesh carries a natural and rustic fragrance. Like the green of grass, like the fishiness of the earth, like the dryness of rocks, like the sweetness of flowers.

It's simple, but it can complicate the sensation with the secretion of saliva.

It is changeable, but ever-changing, giving people a feeling of incense into the soul.

Chen Yang chewed the chicken, and really regretted that he didn't start with the chicken on the table earlier.

I just patronized and ate that plate of incomparably fragrant eggs.

I thought that Xiaohua's eggs were delicious enough, but I didn't want to, this chicken was even more delicious.

Looking at Chen Yang's expression of enjoyment, Tang Lifen smiled and said, "How about it, I didn't lie to you, I said it, this chicken is really fragrant to the soul." ”

Chen Yang nodded again and again, and praised loudly: "This is definitely the most delicious chicken I have ever tasted." ”

This chicken is comparable to the roast goose at the Moon Inn. But if you want to talk about it, you can't talk about it for a while. After all, it's different ingredients, different dishes.

Seeing that the two distinguished guests had such a high opinion of the chicken in their home, Xiaohua's father and Xiaohua's mother were happy.

Xiaohua's father said: "How can you say so mysterious, isn't this just an ordinary chicken." ”

Xiaohua's family has never eaten what ordinary chicken tastes like, so they have always felt that the chickens raised at home should be ordinary chickens.

Chen Yang wants to cry without tears, is this Nima still an ordinary chicken?
