When he returned to Li's house, Mr. Li called everyone to his house, and then told him what had happened. Ask for your opinions. The crowd was silent.

Sanniang lowered her head and wept and cried, and Erzhu comforted her. Li Xiao was speechless, her mother was soft, and she cried at every turn. Li Xiao saw that everyone didn't speak, so he asked, "Isn't it true that we have to make food first, whether we go or not?" ”

The old lady glanced at the old man, saw that the old man nodded, and then called the women to go to the kitchen to make cakes. The old man asked Sanwang Sixi to carry firewood.

The woman went to the kitchen, and the room was silent all at once. The old man said: "The food stored at home can survive the winter, even chickens and rabbits, and they can be eaten for a while." But most of the people in the village should be able to go out, and no one will want to stay and die. When you get to the city, there will be disaster relief. ”

Da Zhuang glanced at the elders, and then said, "When my brother came back in the morning, he said that my father-in-law's family was going to the provincial capital, and asked if our family wanted to go together, after all, it was our family who saved their family." Sanya's in-laws also sent someone just now to ask if we agreed to let Sanya follow them. They set off tomorrow to join their relatives in Fucheng. ”

The old man's eyes lit up when he heard this: "That's great, come brother, you go and tell Sanya to clean up, and let your father send her over later." The younger brother answered and turned his head and went out.

The old man said to Dazhu again: "Your family will go with Village Chief Zhang's house." Dazhu raised his eyes and said, "What about you?" I'm not going. The old man was furious: "Let you go, now you can live one by one." Dazhu cried and said, "If I leave my father and mother behind for my own life, I will become someone." I'm not going. As he spoke, he crouched in the corner. Da Zhuang also said, "Grandpa, I won't leave either." The old man looked at his eldest son and smoked his pipe silently.

Li Xiao looked at the quiet people in the room and knew that now was not the time to hide clumsy. boldly said: "Grandpa, uncle, father." I think Grandpa is right, since Village Chief Zhang is willing to take us, there is one more way. The uncle's family walked with her grandparents, and the third sister walked with her in-laws. ”。 The crowd looked up at her. Li Xiao continued: "Last night was the heavy snow I found, and our family can be regarded as the most credited. Let the fourth sister take 10 chickens and 5 rabbits in the family to marry her sister-in-law and her younger brother. It's kind of repaying our kindness." Then he thought about it and said: "The third sister has passed like this, and the wine is gone." Let the third sister bring 5 chickens and the remaining 3 rabbits as a dowry. The three of us are housekeepers with my parents. If the uncle is willing, let the third brother be left behind."

Da Zhuang's eyes were red, and Da Zhu squatted on the ground with his face covered. The old man's eyes were also red. It's the best way to do it. The second child is young. Three and four are married. The old family is left with Da Zhuang and Sanwang, Sanwang is also 12 years old, Sanwang is the best to stay, but it is not a big problem to follow. Dazhu and Da Zhuang are both in their prime, and their old couple in their 50s is not a drag. Their family followed Village Chief Zhang as the main force.

The old man looked at everyone, nodded at Li Xiao and said, "Da Zhuang, you go and ask your Yue family if they agree." If you agree to wait, let your second uncle send the four girls over. We will meet at the entrance of their village by midnight tomorrow." Da Zhuang touched his tears and went out the door.

The old man watched Da Zhuang go out, and said to Erzhu: "You go to the backyard and catch the chickens and rabbits, and tie them separately according to what the five girls said. Erzhu gave a sigh of encouragement and went to the backyard as instructed.

Dazhu raised his head and choked up and said, "Dad, is this going to give up the second brother's family?" There are a total of 18 chickens and 5 rabbits in the house, according to the division of the five girls, what is left in the house? If their family doesn't leave, they will stay for the winter, and the iron-beaten man will also cry after speaking."

The old man wiped his tears and said, "Then what can I do, what Wuya said is the best way, so that there is a way to live, it is impossible for your second brother to give up the child and go with us." Let Sanwang stay too." Dazhu raised his head and glanced at his father, who was suddenly ten years older, and sighed.

Erzhu took the chickens and rabbits to the yard, and Sanya packed up her things and cried goodbye to everyone. The eldest aunt knew that Sanya's mother-in-law's family was rich and had relatives in Fucheng. It is definitely better to follow your in-laws than to follow yourself. Didn't stop either. Let Dazhu take Sanya to Landlord Zhang's house.

Landlord Zhang's family has only one son, and he loves him very much. Somehow, he took a fancy to the three girls of their family, and he had to marry her, so his family doted on the child and married her. Originally, she was going to go on the road this afternoon, but their boy knew about it, so he had to take her daughter-in-law who had not passed through the door. The husband and wife had no choice but to be troubled, so they sent a message and asked Sanya if they would marry like this.

Dazhu took the three girls to the landlord Zhang's house, put down the chickens and rabbits and said that this was the dowry of their three girls, and then turned around and left. Sanya was crying in the back, watching her father leave. Landlord Zhang also knows the current situation of each family, and it is estimated that the chicken and rabbit are already owned by the Zhang family. said: "Although you are a little wronged to marry like this, it can be seen that your family feels sorry for you, and if you marry into our family, we will treat you as a daughter and treat you well." Come into the house with your mother." As he spoke, he asked his subordinates to take a small bag of coarse rice and a small bag of coarse noodles and send them to Li's house. Let the subordinates tell the Li family that this is a gift from the second door, and the two families are in-laws.

After Da Zhu went out, Da Zhuang came back and said that his father-in-law's family agreed to Siya's family affairs. I heard that only the big house family followed, and I was very grateful. He also took a bag of cakes as a dowry.

When the old man heard this, he asked Erzhu to take the chicken and the rabbit and send Siya over. You can't marry on the road tomorrow.

Siya heard that she wanted to send her away, dragged Sanniang, and cried and didn't leave. Sanniang also cried to death. Li Xiao looked at the two people who were pulling, pulled Siya and shouted loudly: "The fourth sister is a girl, so if you go to your mother-in-law's house, you won't drag us down." Then he ran back to the house, looked at the fourth sister through the crack in the door, and cried silently. Natural disasters, who is to blame?

Siya listened to what the fifth sister said, and she couldn't say what she felt in her heart. Stared blankly at the closed door. Erzhu persuaded Sanniang, this is for the good of the four girls. Sanniang was pulled away by the eldest aunt.

Siya followed Erzhu like this. When I arrived at Village Chief Zhang's house, I was still stunned, thinking about what the fifth sister said. Erzhu said that the child was unwilling to leave home. Village Chief Zhang expressed his understanding.

The eldest brother of the younger brother, Zhang Cheng looked at the four girls and said, "You are okay." Siya cried and said, "The fifth sister said that if I get married, I won't drag them down." How can she say that about me, she was brought up by me and my third sister. I can't even bear to let her work at home. Why is she so ruthless. As he spoke, he began to cry loudly. Village Chief Zhang glanced at Erzhu, and Erzhu said, "She will understand later" and left. Zhang Cheng knew that his father-in-law's family was going to stay, and he knew that it was for the good of his daughter-in-law. He didn't dare to say too much, for fear that Siya would be excited and run back. I could only whisper comfort.
