For eight or nine days in a row, the sky was beautiful, the sun was shining, Rao was so, it was still extremely cold, much colder than a while ago, and the northern winter was getting colder and colder when November was approaching the end of the year.

After eight or nine days of hard work, Liu Yiyu took Liu Yishuang out to hunt birds, and the two of them shot a shot to change to a place, Rao is like this, after eight or nine days of hard work, the birds caught by the two of them were only the number of birds caught by the previous family, probably only more than three hundred, less than four hundred birds.

First, there was a family of the Liu family who went out to hunt birds before, but now the only ones who catch birds are Liu Yiyu and Liu Yishuang, and there are fewer people on hand, and there will naturally be fewer birds that can be caught.

In addition, if it is freezing today, Liu Yiyu and Liu Yishuang have only been out together for more than half an hour, but their hands and feet are numb from the cold, and they don't listen to the call, let alone do things.

After the Liu Yiyu sisters returned to the bamboo house cave, even Liu Yishuang, who has always been strong in his body, had a nasal voice and a runny nose, and Liu Li saw Liu Yishuang with a clear nose and a nasal voice, so scared that Liu Li didn't want it, and hurriedly ran into the kitchen to boil ginger soup for Liu Yiyu and the two sisters.

"Now it's almost December, and it's only a month before the New Year, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the hands and feet are numb after a short while, so we won't go out to catch birds, even if we can go out to catch birds, we can't catch much?" Liu Yiyu took the ginger soup handed over by Liu Li, and when he saw that Liu Li's face was pale, he hurriedly said.

"Yes? Mother, the third sister drank ginger soup and sweated, much better, it's okay." The third sister, Liu Yishuang, also noticed that Liu Li was not in danger, and hurriedly said.

"Mother, doesn't she feel sorry for you? Wait for the spring of next year, let's build the house first, plant a few acres of dry land, and in the next year, our family is not afraid of no food for the winter, my mother does not seek to be rich and expensive, only to ask your brothers and sisters to be safe, my mother's heart! Just down-to-earth? ”。 Liu Li said, tears quietly flowing.

"Mother, our brothers and sisters will be fine, you and grandma will see us get married and have children, we will all be fine." Liu Yiyu put his arm around Liu Li's shoulder and comforted.

"You are an unmarried girl, you are ashamed to say these things, let outsiders listen to them, maybe what do people say about our family?" Liu Li burst into tears and smiled, and said a little on Liu Yiyu's forehead.

"Isn't it just our own family here?" Liu Yiyu muttered.

"Mother, the eldest sister will be fourteen years old next year? Eldest sister, think about your future brother-in-law, why don't you allow it? ”。 At this time, Liu Yihao said to Liu Li in a serious manner.

"Wow, fifth brother, you dare to take the eldest sister to brush, you look at the fight."

"Yes? If you don't have to keep filial piety for your father and boss, at the age of the eldest sister, it should be someone else's."

"Grandma, don't think about these unhappy things, let's think about some happy things, in the past, our family had no money, couldn't buy incense and candles, and didn't eat to worship grandpa, daddy, uncle, and sister-in-law, this year our family has money, buy some things, worship them?". Liu Yiyu saw Liu Zhang's saying that after his grandfather and father, Liu Zhang's mood was a little low, Liu Yiyu was afraid that Liu Zhang's cranky thoughts, and when the time came, he would become ill, and what he had done in the past would be abandoned.

"Yes? Grandma, grandpa, daddy and uncle all like to drink, when we go to worship them on Chinese New Year's Eve, let's buy some wine for them to drink." Liu Yihao also followed.

"Does my sister-in-law like to eat fish? I've already got a fish in store, right? ”。 The fourth sister said.

"And my father likes to eat fatty meat, so let's take fatty meat with him." Seventh brother Liu Yiyang said at this time.

"Okay, let's bring it all with us then, not only let grandpa have a good meal below, let's also have a good meal for the New Year, grandma, mother, do we want to give some New Year's gifts." After Liu Yiyu saw that the more he talked about things, Liu Yiyu hurriedly changed the topic.

"Wang's family, our family has to send it, since our family came to Shangou Village, the Wang family has helped our family a lot, Zhang Langzhong and our family will also send it, who of us has a headache and brain fever, and even invited Zhang Langzhong in the middle of the night, Zhang Langzhong has not shirked, plus last time our family had no money, Zhang Langzhong also confiscated our family's consultation fees, these feelings are remembered by our family, besides, Zhang Langzhong's family is not having a good time." After several invitations to Zhang Langzhong for consultation, Liu Yiyu also learned that Zhang Langzhong was middle-aged and widowed, his parents were gone, and there was a fifteen-year-old eldest son at home, and two and a half old children were left below, a ten-year-old boy and a seven-year-old girl.

"Grandma, look, what are we going to send?" Liu Yiyu asked.

"Send three fish, one pound of pork, and three pounds of black noodles." Liu Zhang gritted his teeth and said.

"Mother, why don't you think this is okay? Let's replace the black noodles with twenty eggs, and our black noodles will also ......." After Liu Li pondered for a while, he said to Liu Zhang.

"If our family ...... and succeed, we will do it according to the old family." Liu Zhang's remembered that the eldest sister said before, our rice noodles are afraid that they can only last until about February of the next year, and they don't have enough to eat, and if they give New Year's gifts, it will be difficult for their own family to last until February of the next year.

"Then, grandma, on Chinese New Year's Eve, let the fifth brother and the seventh brother go to give the New Year gift, you don't think it." Liu Yiyu pondered.

"Eldest sister, you ......".

"Let Gorou and Shichiro go, although your eldest sister is in charge of our family and is in charge of the money, but for New Year's gifts, let you men go, Gorou, don't rely on your eldest sister all the time, you are the eldest son and grandson of our Liu family, sooner or later you will have to stand up to the door of our Liu family, and it is always right to exercise more." Before Liu Yihao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Zhang.

"Grandma, my grandson knows."

"Grandma, mother, or let's worship grandpa, father, uncle and sister-in-law, and worship together on Chinese New Year's Eve, do you think no, in case it comes to worship on Chinese New Year's Eve, the eldest sister is afraid that everyone will be uncomfortable at that time, let's have a better life now, just have a good year, grandma, what do you think?"

"Cheng, just do what the eldest sister says, as for what to prepare, the old family and the eldest sister, you two can do it." In the end, Liu Zhang's decision was finalized.

The days came to Chinese New Year's Eve without hurrying, during this day Zhang Xin came to Liu's house to pick up birds, Zhang Xin heard Liu Yiyu say that there was no supply of birds in the future, Zhang Xin showed a look of disappointment on his face, but Zhang Xin did not ask anything, nor did he urge the Liu family to catch more birds.

Since the second sister listened to Liu Li's words, as soon as Zhang Xin came, he avoided the past, among which Zhang Xin came three times, three times in a row, Zhang Xin didn't see the second sister, Zhang Xin asked Liu Yiyu about the second sister with some anticipation.

Liu Yiyu also prevaricated, and after Zhang Xinjian saw it, his eyes looked into the cave from time to time.
