Then Cai Yazhi packed up a dry tool and prepared to make dinner, especially in the winter, especially in the mountains, it gets dark early, and now she cooks, and when it gets dark at six o'clock, she can just sit on the kang to eat and chat.

So he asked Zhang Taiping what he had for dinner?

"Let's get some polenta."

But there are no steamed buns, and there is no fermented noodles that have no time to make pot helmets, and when the night is long, just drinking porridge is not tolerant of hunger, and people will be very hungry in the second half of the night or early in the morning.

"There's no pot helmet anymore, which is also a problem. By the way, I remember someone brought some persimmons the other day, right? ”

Yes, but persimmons are not resistant to hunger.

"I didn't say that I would eat persimmons directly, I would make persimmon buns with noodles, and I don't need to wait for the noodles to ferment, you can make them directly with the noodles."

Cai Yazhi remembered that persimmons can also be used to roast persimmon cakes, and the steamed buns are red persimmons, which taste sweet and delicious, so she nodded and responded.

Zhang Taiping said again: "Do you still have eggs at home?" ”

Cai Yazhi nodded and said yes. Now there are a few chickens at home, and they can collect three or four eggs a day, and in addition to eating three for the father and daughter every morning, Cai Yazhi doesn't eat them herself, but she can save some one by one.

"Then when the time comes, add two or three more eggs to the noodles, and the taste will be better, and there is no sticky tooth surname of the steamed bun baked by pure persimmon, and it will not stick to the teeth."

Cai Yazhi said that she wrote it down and went over to cook.

Zhang Taiping had nothing to do alone, so he grabbed a handful of red dates from the backyard jujube tree from the cabinet and went out. Followed by persimmons, squirrels will follow Xiao Yaya, Xiao Sakura and Xiao Wu have been out early and returned late these days, and now they don't know where to go and be happy.

Wandering around the village without a purpose, he threw a date into his mouth, followed by a lion and Ah Huang who came out of nowhere. It was almost dark, and Zhang Taiping casually scanned the figure of the girl on the side of the road while walking.

After walking around the village and not seeing her, Zhang Taiping thought that she had gone back, so he also walked home. However, when he walked to the big field in the middle of the village, he saw the figure of the girl running out in a panic, and Zhang Taiping couldn't help frowning.

Seeing Zhang Taiping, she said nervously: "Dad, they, they're roasting red roots." ”

"Who's roasting the red roots?"

The little girl rested for a while and spoke much more smoothly: "It's the two dogs." Zhang Taiping, a big name called Ergouzi Child, didn't know, only that his parents went out to work in other places, and he couldn't come back a few times a year, so he lived with his grandparents, who were not strict in discipline, and the child was a little naughty at the age of seven. I also went to the house with other children a few times, but I didn't dare to enter the house every time, I was really afraid of Zhang Taiping.

Zhang Taiping suddenly felt that something was wrong, and the direction that Yaya pointed to was the direction of the wheat straw pile, how could he roast sweet potatoes there?

"You stand here and don't move, Daddy go and see." As he spoke, Zhang Taiping ran towards the wheat straw pile. Roasting red weed here is a bold thing, and if it catches fire, it is a trivial matter to burn the wheat straw pile, but once the child is burned, it is not a trivial matter. Now that he is also a father, he compares his heart to his heart if his child is burned, then how sad their parents must be.

However, before Zhang Taiping could climb to him, he saw the fire rushing up from behind a pile of wheat straw. Three wild boys ran out from behind the straw pile, each with horror written on their faces. When he passed by Zhang Taiping, Zhang Taiping grabbed the second dog and asked.

"Is there anyone else behind?"

Ergouzi's eyes were extremely fearful, although he was still a six or seven-year-old child who was not sensible, but he also knew that he had caused a big disaster this time, and he only recovered a little under Zhang Taiping's questioning, and pointed to that side with his right hand and stammered: "It's still over there every day." ”

Zhang Taiping was shocked when he heard this, put the two dogs on the ground, and rushed to the burning wheat straw pile like an arrow off the string. The two dogs who were placed on the ground sat on the ground with their butts, but their legs were weak and they couldn't run.

When Zhang Taiping rushed to the front of the fire, he was relieved to see the situation here, the fire was still burning, but it was still a few meters away from the little girl every day. It's just that every day the little girl seems to be frightened stupidly, standing there motionless, her face is red from the firelight, her eyes are full of surprise, her body is trembling but she can't move her feet.

picked up the little sister-in-law and jumped to the side. The fire was already very big and had become the climate, and although Zhang Taiping was conceited that his force value was unlimited, it had no effect on saving him. When Zhang Taiping put the little girl next to the second dog, the little girl cried out. Zhang Taiping also picked up the two dogs and put the two children more than 100 meters away from the pile of wheat straw that was on fire where Yaya was standing.

"When someone comes to put out the fire, stand on the side, don't get in the way, and don't run around. Got it? Zhang Taiping said to the three children.

Seeing that the three of them were busy nodding, Zhang Taiping took a step and ran towards the village chief's house, and halfway through, someone saw Huoguang running over with a bucket with a flat pole. Zhang Taiping ignored the people who ran up, and ran directly to the village chief's house and said to the village chief who also wanted the bucket to run out: "Uncle, don't run first, a few people can't do anything, you should use the loudspeaker to notify now, let the villagers come out to fight the fire, not only bring the bucket and the fork with you." ”

The old village chief also understood when he heard it, and quickly turned on the loudspeaker to inform Zhang Taiping of what he had just said. So everyone who heard the horn began to act, and one by one they picked up buckets and iron forks and ran towards the big field.

Zhang Taiping also took an iron fork from the village chief's house, and when he ran to the place where the fire was on fire, the fire had already spread to four wheat straw piles. Zhang Taiping did not splash water to save the life, but led the person holding the fork to pick up the pile that the fire had not yet spread, and cut it off from the fire source. If you don't pick it up in time, it is possible to burn down in a row, and the edge of this series of piles and the houses on the side of the big field are not far away, and if the fire is not controlled, it will be a disaster.

Wheat straw is really the best firewood, it is too easy to burn, and finally the water is no longer in a hurry, everyone asks the surname to ignore the four piles burning in the center, first all pick up the fork to pick up the surrounding piles. After picking it up, some people picked up buckets to carry water and splashed water, so at least there was no possibility of expanding the fire.

Zhang Taiping didn't splash water, and stood on the side with a fork to watch, in case there was no fire coming over if he didn't pick a clean place. Although the water was constantly splashing, it had become the weather, and the fire was rushing into the sky and reflecting half of the sky, reflecting on every anxious face.

The whole village was mobilized, the number of people was strong, and finally the fire was extinguished, but the four piles in the middle were basically burned to the ground. The people did not take it lightly, and used their forks to pick up the still smoking ashes and poured the water again, making sure that there was no possibility of recurrence.

Cai Yazhi also held the bucket and found the girl standing on the side before she was relieved.

When the fire was completely extinguished, everyone gathered together and began to explore the cause of the fire, and the three children next to them were frightened.

In the end, it was the village chief who asked, and the two dogs were so frightened that they didn't dare to say a word, just sat on the ground and looked at the place that was burned into a pile of ashes in a daze.

The old village chief saw that he couldn't ask the reason from this little rabbit cub, so he turned to Zhang Taiping and said, "Dashuai, you were the first to discover the fire, you can tell me the reason." ”

Zhang Taiping also felt the pain of the fire this time, and truthfully explained that he did not deliberately take the girl out of the bush and said: "I heard the girl say, more than a dozen children were ignorant and roasted the red lotus to cause the fire. ”

"Roasted red roots? Roast red lotus on the big field again? These little bunnies are really bold. The crowd next to him was surprised.

The old village chief has nothing to say, what can he do when he encounters this kind of thing? The child is not sensible, so he can only let the parents go back and clean up.

At this time, a voice came from the crowd: "Alas, this thing is to blame me, when a few little broken babies were roasting red lotus by the river, I joked and said, 'Go and stuff it into the wheat straw pile over there to roast, there is a big fire', and after saying that, I didn't go to my heart and walked away." Who would have thought that these little cubs would actually be in front of them, and they would really be stuffed into the pile to roast, and their guts are really fat. ”

The one who spoke was Wang Laogun, who liked to joke the most in the village, this is not a nickname, but his real name, and he didn't know that his father had his real name at that time and took such a name. About forty years old, everyone usually jokes in the village Regan, and it is not taboo meat and vegetarian, and people's temper is okay, just joking but not arguing. Speaking of which, he is still the descendant of the old village chief, the grandson of the old village chief's father's eldest brother, that is, the son of the old village chief's cousin, and the cousin of the old village chief.

When the old village chief heard his words, he was immediately furious, and went up directly to the back of his head and slapped him twice and said, "You open-mouthed fellow, do you think that little kid who is less than ten years old can make such a joke?" ”

Wang Laogun rubbed the back of his head, he was quite heavy, and he was not angry, and said with a smile: "Uncle Xiaoxiao, this time it was really wrong, I will bear the losses here alone, and the compensation that should be compensated is a lot, do you think it will work?" ”

In fact, these four wheat straw piles are only 100 yuan each, and 4 400 yuan each, which is not a small amount for ordinary villagers, but this guy can say that he will accompany him without changing his face, not that her Jiaqing situation is good, but it shows that he is still a character.

He didn't dare to laugh at him because he also had a glorious deed. Back then, there was a group of gangsters from other villages who bullied a young man in the village outside, and he felt that the village was beating, he couldn't see it, so he directly picked up a wooden stick and crippled the legs of the two gangsters.

The old village chief saw him speak and said this, so he stopped slapping him in the face and said, "Then you can pay for it." Then he turned around and said to the crowd, I will take care of my own children when I go back, and I won't pursue it this time, it's better not to have a next time. ”
