In the past few years, natural disasters have continued, and not only have the families not harvested grain, but they also owe a lot of grain taxes to the yamen.

When the yamen came to urge, some people really had no choice at home, and their children, pigs, sheep, and even mothers-in-law had to be sold!

It's a fluke that the mother-in-law and the child can stay, and the family is also poor jingle noise.

Every year, several elderly people and infant children starve to death.

The rest of the people survived thanks to the river outside the village and the barren mountain behind the village......

Before Tai Sanye took the opportunity to scold a few more words about the injustice of heaven, Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue ran back like a dog with a broken wooden basin.

They kicked the door open and shouted.

"Grandpa, grandpa! We've got a fish! Whew, a few fish! ”

"Fish soup, fish soup for my sister!"

Old Man Tai and Third Master Tai were talking, and they were so frightened that they almost slipped off the chair.

The old man Tai raised his foot and was about to kick his grandson, but he was also very happy when he saw five or six palm-sized crucian carp seeds in the basin.

Tai Sanye almost lost half of his beard by mistake, and shouted: "This is fished from the river outside the village?!" ”

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue's padded jackets were mostly wet, and the two of them didn't feel cold, and they danced to show off.

"We dug a hole in the ice, put the fence in it, and we got so much in the first shot. We still wanted to fish, but the three fat men were red-eyed, grabbed the ice hole, and wanted to rob our fish, so we hurriedly brought it back! ”

"That's it, the three fat men are still lying on the ice, freezing them to death!"

As the brothers spoke, they remembered that their sister was about to run to the Westinghouse, but the old man grabbed her neck and pulled her back.

"Your sister is sleeping, don't make a noise with her."

Tai Sanye couldn't wait, his waist was not bent at this time, his back was also rickety, and he strode out, "I'll take a look." ”

As a result, when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he was colliding with a large group of villagers.

And every man brought a wooden basin and copied the fence of the house.

The children are so noisy, who wants to follow the truth when they hear about it!

For a time, the small river outside the village was densely packed with people in the village digging holes and laying down fences.

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue jumped to their feet anxiously, for fear that the villagers would finish fishing the remaining small fish.

Even Tai Jizu and Tai Jizong also picked up the fence and wanted to follow.

Old Man Tai stopped them, "That's it, don't be greedy, we already have a few of them, let the villagers fish the rest."

"Hold the firewood, hurry up and boil the fish soup, Zhuzhu will wake up hungry in a while!"

With that, he looked out the door, his heart full of doubts.

Could it be that Zhuzhu woke up and their family followed the transfer?

The river outside the village has not fished out anything for a long time, and the two boys actually have fish as soon as they go......

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue still wanted to struggle, but they were slapped by the old man alone, and they died down.

Tai Jizu and Tai Jizong had already listened to the old man's words, holding firewood and killing fish, and Liu Dongniang also quickly brushed the pot and lit the fire and got busy.

Half an hour later, the stove room was filled with the aroma.

Liu Dongniang filled a big bowl and asked Tai Yongan to send it next door to return the favor of the egg.

In the end, it was the old and young in the family, one of whom counted one, and they all held a bowl and drank it to satisfaction.

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue were anxious, and while they were so hot that they were snorting cold air, they still drank the fish soup quickly.

Besides, the villagers squatted on the river for most of the hour.

They were so cold that their feet were unconscious, their eyes and eyebrows were covered with white frost, and they were wrapped in torn cotton jackets and shivered like swings.

Not to mention the fish, even the scales of the fish have not been seen!

Some people couldn't bear it and returned to the village one after another. But some people were not reconciled, grabbed a handful of crushed ice and stuffed it in their mouths, deceived their stomachs, and then continued to dig ice holes.

When it's such a mess, it's natural to take care of the children.

A boy of seven or eight years old slipped and fell into an ice hole.

Fortunately, the villagers next to him were quick and picked up the kid.

The kid's torn jacket and pants were soaked, his face was pale from the cold, and his upper and lower teeth were chattering, but he refused to leave.

"Woo, I'm not leaving...... Giggles, I'm going to drink fish soup! Fish soup! ”

A man was very angry and scolded, "Hurry back, freeze for a while, and you can drink soup with Lord Yama!" ”

The neighbor with the child pulled the child and left, and the rest of the people, worried about falling into the water, followed behind.

When passing by the door of Tai's house, the fragrance wafted out of the courtyard and entered the nose.

Everyone couldn't help swallowing their saliva, and they rubbed under their feet for a while, but seeing that the Tai family had no intention of opening the door, they could only walk away dejectedly.

Also, it's good that the family that can take care of it these years is not hungry, who can have the spare energy to take care of other people......

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue were lying on the crack of the gate, and when they saw that the people outside were gone, they quickly wiped their noses and ran back.

My sister's fish soup was saved!

Zhuzhu woke up in her mother's arms smelling the aroma of fish soup.

The mother's arms were warm and soft, and she rubbed them affectionately.

Yang Lihua hurriedly threw down the needle and thread, smiled and hugged her daughter, "Mother's Zhuzhu is awake, are you hungry?" Mother will feed my little pig Bao'er and be full! ”

As he spoke, Tai Jizu, who was lying on the other side, also came over and quickly poked open the earthen stove connected to the big kang.

The half-red wood in the stove burns, and the clay pot sitting on the stove is heated, and the aroma of fish soup is thickened.

Zhuzhu's stomach gurgled, and she kicked her calves excitedly, scurrying high in her mother's arms.

Tai Jizu and Yang Lihua both laughed when they watched it.

Yang Lihua served her daughter half a bowl of fish soup, broke half a piece of sorghum noodles, and soaked it in the fish soup.

Zhuzhu took a sip and glared at Mao Dudu's big eyes in surprise.

The little on her face were trembling, and she kept pointing to the fish soup.

"Piggy likes to eat, doesn't she? Then eat more! Tai Jizu closed his mouth happily, and said in a loud voice, "Tomorrow Dad will go up the mountain to make you pheasant stew, which is more delicious." ”

Zhuzhu tilted her head, her mouth was stuffed with bulge, and her little brows were wrinkled cutely, as if she was a little entangled.

In the end, she still put her little head under her father's hand and rubbed it again and again.

Daddy touched her head, and when she went out, she could catch a pheasant for the family to eat!
