Chapter 14: Windfall

Against the cold wind, Peach Blossom saw for the first time what the outside of this era was like, and the first feeling was desolation.

It is said to be a village, but every time it must be far away, it seems that every family has built their houses into their own fields, and the mud houses are scattered and scattered, looking more and more lonely and desolate on the white snow.

One foot deep and one foot shallow, the two walked in the snow, walked to the river to the west, and could see mountains not far away, and the peach blossom thought of those good things on the mountain, and became more and more motivated for the future.

"Peach Blossom, is it cold?" Zhang looked at his daughter's two little red faces in distress.

Peach Blossom shook her head, "Mother, it's not cold at all." ”

Zhang knows that his daughter is sensible, how can she not be cold, her daughter's cotton clothes are still the cotton clothes that her mother wore when she did not die, until her mother died, she still kept it, and after giving birth to peach blossoms, she used the cotton in the torn cotton clothes to help her daughter with a cotton clothes, and she has been wearing it for so many years.

The peach blossoms are indeed very cold, and it is terrible that Zhang's will be worried, deliberately pretending that it is not cold at all, but secretly shivering from the cold, in order not to let Zhang's find out, and not to let Zhang's hand walk.

When the mother and daughter arrived at the river in the west, they began to pick up dry branches on the ground, and Peach Blossom wanted to follow out for another purpose, to see if they could find something to eat in this winter, because there were too few things at home.

But there is snow everywhere, so where can I have anything to eat?

When the mother and daughter were tired, they went to the leeward rest behind the bushes, and when they squatted down, the eyes of the peach blossoms lit up, isn't this a dandelion? The emerald green bushes were frozen by snow, and only a few leaves were exposed.

Peach Blossom was excited, picked up the branches and dug in the past, Zhang was stunned at first, and was also happy after seeing what his daughter dug, only in the spring to eat, I don't want this snow to be green in the snow.

The mother and daughter dug up together, and even looked for it nearby, and the peach blossom found that the emerald green was mostly by the river, thinking that it was green because of the dampness, so she pulled Zhang to the direction of the river to find it, and sure enough, the mother and daughter were tired and sweaty, but they dug up a lot of dandelions.

This thing is cooked with cornmeal, it may be really hungry, Zhang is also happy, "Peach blossom is really smart, this time we have something to eat." ”

"Mother, these are enough to eat two meals, if the second aunt wants you to give it?" Peach Blossom is most worried about this, the Zhang family is sometimes too weak and kind-hearted, and he doesn't squeak if he takes advantage of others.

"On this snowy day, the peach blossoms are dug up, how can my mother give it to others, saying that your second aunt will not hesitate to eat this. "People have winter vegetables and food, how can they be like them.

Peach Blossom was relieved, looking at the frozen river, in fact, the river is not deep, it is like a small river formed by the stream flowing down the mountain, the whole stream seems to be frozen, but Peach Blossom knows that in the bottom layer, there is silt and a little water, as long as the frozen is cut open, you can get some fish and toads.

Peach Blossom licked her lips, "Mother, let's catch fish." ”

Zhang was stunned for a moment, thinking that his daughter was young after all, "When the ice melts in the spring, we can catch fish." ”

But she was a woman, and what could she catch, the fish was as slippery as a loach, and she couldn't catch it.

"Mother, let's cut the ice now, the fish must be frozen on the ice, can we catch a lot of fish." "Peach Blossom can't say too clearly, after all, she is still a child at the moment.

Zhang was stunned, she didn't understand this, but maybe it would be like this, the fish didn't have time to run away, and it was frozen on the ice.

Peach Blossom pointed to the edge of the creek, "Mother, let's start digging from here." ”

The two did not bring tools, it was impossible to break the ice from the middle, the ice at the edge was thin, and it could be opened with a branch, and there was a flowing stream and silt underneath, and the more you dug into it, the easier it was to dig.

Zhang saw that he had picked up a bunch of branches, which was almost enough for a few days, and when he looked at the expectation on his daughter's face, he was all playing with his daughter, so Zhang went to get the branches.

The peach blossom jumped the edge, pressing down a lot of cracks, and then he and Zhang's got it up with a branch, and after a while, Zhang's branch actually brought out a small fish in the mud, which was the first to see hope.

Zhang was also overjoyed, and worked harder and harder, and when he made a small hole, he could clearly see the toads and some small fish hiding in the mud below.

"Mother, they will definitely come to get it when they know about it, if only we could get all the fish. "Peach Blossom is really unwilling.

Zhang smiled and nodded his daughter's nose, "Don't worry, my mother has a way." ”

Peach Blossom's eyes lit up, she really still likes such a mother, full of wisdom.
