The dragon and phoenix are auspicious, but it is a good omen, and all the people in the vicinity come to Zhao's house to congratulate them, and they all want to touch Angelia and her little brother with their own hands - no way, who told Angelia to push the little doll out of her mother's belly, and the younger brother will become the elder brother - a touch of blessing. Because of the relationship between the dragon and the phoenix, Angelia, a girl, has also been valued and cared for by the whole family, compared to her own sister and cousin, Angelia is so happy.

Angelia is called Zhao An in this life, and her younger brother is called Zhao Ping. It is thanks to the blessing of the dragon and phoenix that she has a name. Like her cousin and sister, she has no name, and the family calls them eldest and second.

There are not many people in the Zhao family, except for Zhao An's grandparents, there are only uncle Zhao Daniu, aunt Qian, lobby brother Zhao Hu, second cousin Zhao Bao, cousin Erya, father Zhao Erniu, mother Sun, sister Daya, and now there are more her and younger brother Zhao Ping. It is worth more than ten people, unlike other families, most of them are twenty or thirty.

The people here are very poor, they don't grow enough food to eat, and everyone lives in hunger all year round. Although Zhao An and Zhao Ping are the most favored, they have never eaten enough, they are both three-year-olds, and they look like one-year-old children from rich and noble families.

I couldn't stand being hungry, and since Zhao An was able to walk on the ground, he was touching food everywhere. She planted potatoes and sweet potatoes in the open space on either side of her house, which was very barren and could not grow food, but she could still grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, but she could not expect to produce them.

It takes a long time for this to mature, and he can't eat potatoes and sweet potatoes, so Zhao An can only find other things to eat. Bringing Zhao Ping's little follower to the field, Zhao An wanted to catch some yellow eels. Didn't find it though. There are yellow eels that have long been caught and eaten by others. But it's okay, there are crayfish in the field.

Spicy crayfish! Zhao An's saliva flowed.

"An An, Pingping, why did you come to the edge of the field?" When Sun saw his two children, he hurriedly ran over, "How did the eldest girl take care of you, let you run to the edge of the field, she hasn't found out yet." When I get home, I'll have to beat her. ”

"Sister, busy, do things." Zhao An hurriedly exonerated the eldest sister, lest the eldest sister be blamed by her parents, "We, ourselves, play." ”

"Yourself, play." Zhao Ping repeated.

Sun touched the two little heads, and was about to pick them up and send them home.

Zhao An broke free from Sun's embrace, pointed to the crayfish he had just dug up, and said, "This, eat." ”

Sun said: "This is a worm, you can't eat it." ”

Zhao An said stubbornly: "Eat, cook, eat." ”

Zhao Ping also followed: "Eat." ”

Sun couldn't help but feel sad, there was not much food at home, and the children couldn't eat enough, so they wanted to eat insects when they saw them. Alas, when will God be able to open his eyes so that everyone can have enough to eat?

Zhao An still stubbornly said: "Eat, eat." ”

Zhao Ping followed and learned the tongue: "Eat, eat." ”

"I can't eat it." Sun is resolute not to give Zhao An and the others crayfish, in her eyes crayfish are insects, maybe they are poisonous, and eating them is not good for the body.

Sun picked up the two children and sent them home directly.

Zhao An is helpless, no one believes her words, and believes that crayfish can be eaten.

"Big girl, second girl, take care of your younger brothers and sisters, don't let them run around anymore." Sun finished instructing his daughter and niece and left.

Zhao An lay on the bed weakly, so hungry!

"An An, what's wrong with you? Where is it uncomfortable? Seeing her sister's appearance, Erya hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern.

"Hungry ......," Zhao An said sadly.

Erya immediately understood Zhao An, she touched her stomach and said, "I'm also hungry." ”

Zhao An looked at Erya, this child was only five years old, which was the age of good fooling.

"Second sister, I found that one kind of food is eaten." Emma, it's hard for a child to talk.

"Really? What is it? Erya's eyes lit up immediately.

"In the field, insects, my mother won't let me, eat."

"Bugs." Erya's small brows furrowed, "Insects can't be eaten." ”

"I can eat it." Zhao An said, "Cooked, edible." ”

"Really?" Erya asked, she really wanted to eat.

Zhao An nodded vigorously.

Erya made up her mind: "Let's go catch insects and eat them." ”

After saying that, he helped Zhao An get off the bed, Zhao Ping looked at it, and he was about to go to the ground, and Erya hurriedly helped.

"Second sister, basket, hold worms." Zhao An reminded Erya.

"Oh." Erya hurriedly ran to the courtyard and brought a bamboo basket over, and said to Zhao An, "Let's go." ”

"I want to talk to, eldest sister." Zhao An reminded again.

"Oh, good." Erya raised her voice and shouted, "Eldest sister, I'll take An An and Pingping out to play." ”

"You have to watch over them." The eldest girl told the second girl.

"Got it." After Er Ya finished speaking, he went out with the two children, and they didn't go far, just looking for crayfish in the field near their home. There are not many crayfish in the field, and after looking for a long time, the three of them caught a basket of crayfish.

"How are you going to eat this bug?" Erya asked Zhao An. Because she knew that crayfish could be eaten, she was not afraid of this scary-looking bug.

"Cooked, eaten. Peel off, shell. Zhao Andao.

"Cooked...... Erya scratched her head, "Cooking requires a pot, let's take the worms home, the eldest sister and my mother will never let us cook the worms to eat." ”

"So, what to do?" Zhao An was also distressed, obviously there was something delicious, but he couldn't eat it, it was too uncomfortable.

Erya was distressed to think of a way, and suddenly she thought of a way: "I know where there is a jar for insects to cook." ”

Zhao An: "?? ”

Erya took Zhao An and Zhao Ping to the river, found a jar from behind a tree by the creek, put who was in it, and threw all the crayfish into the jar.

"This jar was originally from our family, but it was stolen by the eldest brother and second brother to cook fish and bird eggs to eat. Grandfather and grandmother, they thought the jar had been broken. After Erya finished speaking, she told Zhao An and Zhao Ping, "You have to keep it secret, and you are not allowed to tell your grandfather, grandmother and Aya Aniang about this matter, and your brothers and sisters can't say it, otherwise there will be nothing to eat in the future." ”

Zhao Ping's little head was dotted, although he didn't quite understand what Erya meant, but he only had one thought, that is, he couldn't tell others about the jar, otherwise there would be nothing to eat.

Zhao An took advantage of the fact that when Erya was talking to Zhao Ping, he had already lit a withered branch and raised the fire - Zhao Hu and Zhao Bao were very well prepared, in addition to the jar, there were also flints. However, Zhao An did not use flint and steel, and lit the fire with a lighter.

"Ah, the fire has risen?" Erya happily praised Zhao An, "An An is really capable." ”

The heart and earth did not find out how a two- or three-year-old child could start a fire.
