After the eighth day of rain, the rain stopped and the sun cleared.

As soon as the rain stopped, Liu Yihao hurriedly pulled Liu Yiyu out, wanting to re-brush the big tree in the mountain, re-brush the lard, set up the trap, and wait for the cicada chrysalis to fall into the net.

If it weren't for Liu Yiyu's good words, saying that the rain had just fallen, and the trees were all wet, even if the lard was brushed and the rain was sticky, the slippery nature of the lard would be greatly bad, or even useless.

After Liu Yihao heard this, his excited face instantly stepped down.

Rao is like this, Liu Yiyu still waited for two days, let the sun dry the soaked trees, and wait for the third day after the rain stopped.

Liu Yiyu took the family to brush the lard on the big tree again, and once again devoted himself to the plan to catch cicada chrysalis.

The days of enrichment and rushing go by quickly, and the time came unhurriedly to September, in the middle of half a month, the Liu family also sold a cicada molt, the first time it was sold for three taels of silver, and the second time it was sold for two taels and five hanging money, as the days went back, the cicada chrysalis that crawled out of the soil was nearly thirty percent less than in August.

As the days enter September, the weather begins to gradually cool, autumn leaves fall, it was originally a harvest season, but today's drought has killed the rice in the paddy fields, resulting in nearly seventy percent less grain than in previous years.

Now that it's time for taxes, every family has a tight life, and many villagers have to sell their fields to be able to pay taxes.

Liu Yiyu pondered that buying a field at this time was the best time, and immediately, Liu Yiyu told his grandmother and mother about it.

"Eldest sister, go to Uncle Wang's house today, take this! After all, our family entrusts others to do things, and there is no courtesy, so it will be done." Liu Zhangshi gave Liu Yiyu a basket, and the top of the basket was covered with a coarse cloth.

Liu Yiyu opened the coarse cloth and saw that there were ten eggs lying inside, these eggs were still stored by the Liu family for many days, and the chickens raised by the farmer and the eggs laid down were generally saved as a gift, either to eat and drink as a gift, or to go to the town to catch up with the market and sell them, and exchange them for silver money to supplement the family.

If it weren't for the fact that the Liu family had bought nearly half a year's grain and had enough surplus grain to eat, I am afraid that the eggs laid by their own hens would have to be saved and sold in the town to be exchanged for silver.

"Grandma, Uncle Wang's family has four acres of paddy fields and three acres of dry fields, the rice in the Wang family's paddy fields has died of drought, and only the grain in the dry fields is left, I am afraid that after the Wang family pays this year's taxes, there is not much surplus grain for the Wang family to spend the winter, grandma, or our family will add ten catties of black noodles, five catties of sweet potato noodles and five catties of brown rice." Liu Yiyu thought for a moment and said.

"This ....., this success, our family was in trouble last year, and the Wang family also helped us a lot, do we all remember? This year, the Wang family is having a hard time, let's help it, the old family, you go to the kitchen to make a few cakes and bring them over, my mother is afraid, the Wang family is reluctant to eat? The baked bread will not be stored for a long time, and the Wang family will definitely eat it."

"Well, mother, daughter-in-law knows."

.......。

Liu Yiyu carried the basket and took Liu Yihao, who was carrying rice and noodles, to Uncle Wang's house.

Uncle Wang's family lives at the end of the village, and it is seven or eight minutes away from the bamboo house where the Liu family lives on the mountainside.

When Liu Yiyu's sister and brother came to Wang's house, they saw Uncle Wang sitting on the threshold smoking dry tobacco with a sad face, and Aunt Wang and Dahua sister and brother rubbing corn kernels.

"Alas!". Uncle Wang let out a long sigh and tapped the cigarette butt on the threshold, with a sad face.

"Let, what should we do this winter, there is only so much food left in our family, and this winter, our father's filial piety has not been given? How are you going to spend this day? ”。 Aunt Wang heard Uncle Wang sigh and thought that she had just paid the taxes yesterday, and there were only about 150 catties of corn and about 300 catties of sweet potatoes and potatoes left in the family.

As for the money, the family did not have so much food to hand in, so they used more than half of their belongings and filled it in to pay taxes.

Thinking of this, Aunt Wang couldn't help crying.

"Mother, don't cry, tomorrow I will embroider more embroidered handkerchiefs, take them to the town to sell, how much can fill some household use, if it doesn't work out, my daughter will go to the town to find something to do, so that you can save a person's food, and you can make some money." Dahua wiped her tears for Aunt Wang and comforted her.

"Mother, the dog can also eat less, so that the family has surplus food."

"This is done, the girl's family, she went out to look for work to do, her reputation is not good, in case you ......, my mother is sorry for you, Dahua is fourteen years old, and my mother has not bought you anything so far? There is also a dog, whose body is weaker than others, and now he can't eat enough, what should I do, what if...., what if...., what if...., this can let us live? ”。

"Mother, my daughter is still young, what are you talking about? Besides, is my brother in good health? It's going to be fine." After hearing Aunt Wang's words, Dahua blushed and was embarrassed, and said that after her brother, Wang Dahua had a straight face.

"Otherwise, tomorrow, I'll go to the town and see if anyone is looking for a rough job, while it's still winter. Earn some money, and you can also save some food for your mother and daughter." Uncle Wang heard the family's complaints and explanations, a big man, let the wife, son and daughter in the family not have enough food and clothing, Uncle Wang is not happy.

Liu Yiyu and Liu Yihao, who were outside the door, heard the words of the Wang family, and Liu Yiyu and Liu Yihao glanced at each other.

"Fifth brother, do you have anything to say?" Liu Yihao was a little wanted to say something in the rain.

"Eldest sister, after our family wandered to the ravine village, Uncle Wang's family has always helped our family, either food, or some vegetable seeds and clothes, etc., even after the death of our grandfather, uncle and aunt, Uncle Wang made a thin coffin, so that our grandfather, uncle and aunt were buried, even the paper money and incense candles were bought by Aunt Wang, and now the Wang family is having a hard time, I think.... I want to .....".

"The fifth brother wants to pick up the cicada and let the Wang family pick it up with our family, right?"

"Well, yes, big sister". Liu Yihao didn't dare to look at his eldest sister.

At present, this economic source is the only one of the Liu family, and it is his eldest sister who wants to come up, Liu Yihao sometimes thinks again, is he a little too selfish, he has not thought about his grandmother, mother, sister and sister, Liu Yihao is thinking again, Uncle Wang has helped his family, and now the Wang family can't live a life, and he stands by and watches, which makes Liu Yihao suffer in his heart and is at a loss.

Liu Yiyu looked at Liu Yihao's appearance, and he didn't know what Liu Yihao was thinking.

The children of the Liu family are all good, strong, kind, forbearing, sensible, and they are blessed by people, and they know how to repay each other with springs.

"If it is done, just do what the fifth brother said." Liu Yiyu felt sorry for Liu Yihao being so sensible, and touched Liu Yihao's head and said.
