There is still an essential difference between the patriarch of the Duan family and the patriarch of the Niu family.

In the final analysis, Duan Wenyan still has to be selfish.

Whether he speaks or acts, he always starts from himself.

He resolutely refuses to do anything that is good for the whole family, but not for himself!

What is good for himself, but bad for the whole family, he does it occasionally.

It is because of his selfish nature that he is the only one who has lived the longest and best life in the family over the years.

And the patriarch of the Niu family, Niu Cai, is tall, and he is completely different.

As the patriarch of the entire family, before Niu Caigao does anything, the first thing he has to consider is the interests of the whole family!

He knows in his heart that in this society, it is impossible for a person to make a name for himself by fighting alone.

Niu Caigao used to hear this father say a sentence, "Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers". If there are many brothers, the strength is greater.

Therefore, if a family wants to be powerful, first of all, it has many people.

The power of the family is great, and only those who take refuge in the family can they live well.

They won't be bullied by others.

Niu Caigao has always known that the size of his family members has always been relatively small.

Therefore, every man, every woman, every child, and every old man in the family is a rare strength.

In this winter, he really didn't want to give up on anyone.

Therefore, as soon as he heard Wu Hongsheng say, he found a forest of hairy chestnuts. Moreover, when he was ready to take them to pick, he had already decided.

This time, I must go and see for myself.

Don't look at him at sixty-eight this year. However, his body is still quite athletic.

He used to be farming in the fields every day.

He has been exercising all year round, and his body bones are much stronger than Duan Wenyan's.

After a brisk walk on the hill for four or five hours, the old oxen are tall, and it is only a slight pant.

He felt that he was walking faster, and he didn't even feel that it was so cold.

After arriving at the place, he saw a large piece of hairy chestnuts on the ground, and Niu Caigao excitedly picked one up from the ground and began to eat it directly.

After he tasted the sweetness he hadn't tasted in a long time, his dark and vicissitudes of life suddenly bloomed into a bright smile.

"Good! That's great! ”

"We finally have something to eat!"

Since finding that place to stay, their Niu family usually lives on wild vegetables in the mountains.

Later, Niu Caigao got a rare dowry from the Wu family, and after the three sons-in-law came to the door, their Niu family was finally able to improve their lives.

However, Niu Caigao has always known in his heart that the days of eating meat will never last long.

As long as he thought of that cold deep winter, as long as he thought of the lack of food in his hands, he was very anxious and panicked.

Now, with this piece of hairy chestnuts, their family can finally survive the crisis and tide over the difficulties.

Thinking that their family could have food and a place to stay, all relying on the Wu family, Niu Caigao's heart was full of gratitude to them.

These men of the Wu family are all good people!

Although their faces are cold, their hearts are warm!

Thinking of this, Niu Caigao accelerated the movements in his hand and hurriedly picked up the chestnuts in the basket. While urging carefully, the children around him.

"Don't pick, don't choose!"

"As long as we can take it home, let's take it home! It's okay to be bitten by bugs, eaten by wild beasts! ”

"Let's hurry up and take a little bit more back. When the time comes, eat a fragrant meal of boiled chestnuts, fried chestnuts, steamed chestnuts,......"

Hearing that Niu Cai announced the name of the dish, those ears were more pointed, and they heard everyone clearly at once, and their mouths at that time were drooling.

They hadn't had enough to eat in a long time.

When they saw these flakes of chestnuts, they wanted to eat them with their bellies open.

With this in mind, everyone began to compete.

They were frantically on the ground, picking up hairy chestnuts.

Two hours later, the hairy chestnuts that fell on the ground were all picked up by them.

And Wu Hongsheng saw that each of them had almost picked up dozens of catties on their hands. Some even made more than 100 pounds. In his heart, he nodded with satisfaction.

When he was a child, he remembered an old saying.

"Cang Liao eats and knows honor and disgrace."

These people who do not lack food and clothing, they will care about their own face and their own morality.

And those who are on the verge of starvation and freezing to death will not think too much in their minds.

Some people dare to do anything vicious in order to survive for themselves.

For this winter, Wu Hongsheng has long been prepared in his heart.

His neighbors, if they were about to starve to death and freeze to death, would have become the kind of vicious people. Then, although he can guarantee that the people in his own family will not be harmed much. However, he still feels that he should not have a peaceful life this winter.

However, all this is based on the fact that the Duan family and the Niu family, who live in the same place as him, are all going to starve to death and freeze to death.

Now, they have so many hairy chestnuts, they shouldn't be so sad this winter.

felt that there were still too few hairy chestnuts they got back, so Wu Hongsheng personally took the men of his family and laid them a lot of hairy chestnuts.

"Pick it up, all of you!"

"If you can bring a little more, I'll take it back!"

"It's still too far from where we live. It took us two hours to walk so fast, even running! ”

"It took us more than two hours to get here, and a little longer when we got back. It's a waste of time to go back and forth, and it's almost a day to change......

Hearing Wu Hongsheng's eldest son Wu Dahu say this, Niu Caigao glanced at it with some envy, Duan Yude and several of his own brothers personally pushed the wheelbarrow.

If he had known this, he should have brought a few wheelbarrows over.

Such a wheelbarrow can push something of four or five hundred catties!

The Duan family brought five wheelbarrows over.

If you put 300 pounds in a car, won't five wheelbarrows be able to bear 1,800 pounds?

The Duan family relied on a few people to get 1,800 catties of hairy chestnuts back. And the other young adults of the Duan family also carried more than 100 catties of hairy chestnuts back on their backs,...... All of this adds up, that's quite a lot!

The Duan family relied on these hairy chestnuts this year, and they were able to have a prosperous year.
