The warm sun of winter is particularly cherished, and it looks like the year is about to end, and the mountain is still the color of the mountain, and it has not lost its vitality due to the cold winter.

The Wang family released the water from the small pond in front of the door, and the big fish rolled in the muddy water of the small pond.

Wang Yongping sank his feet into the muddy water, pulled a net bag in his hand, and put the fish into it one by one.

"Dad, there's one, that one is so big!"

"Wow! This one is the biggest! ”

Several women guarded the children on the shore, afraid that they would roll into mud monkeys.

These fish are all going to be sold, and it's almost the New Year, and every family pays attention to more than one year after year, which is a good time to sell fish.

Daddy Wang decided to take care of the villagers first, and if they didn't sell out, they would take them to the town.

There are too many fish to get to town.

The Wang family chose a spacious place, under the big willow tree in the village, the big willow tree is now bare, and only some branches are left that have been destroyed by the flood.

The fish were packed in barrels of rice, and they were huge, filled with a hundred or so fish, and they were pressed together in black and pressed pieces.

Some fish are so squeezed out of their white bellies, with their mouths wide open, opening and closing.

Today, the warm sun was shining, and a few little sparrows foraging for food in winter were flying around the trees, and a pair of keen eyes under the trees were staring closely at the sparrows in the trees.

As soon as they fly down, a nimble and agile body will catch them under the minions.

"Little flower cub, come here, there are fish to eat."

Hearing someone call him, his furry head turned around and jumped out of the grass beside him, his tail circling around his feet.

With a few meows, a few children picked up the cat.

"Is the little flower cub getting fat, look at its belly, round."

"Stupid! The little flower cub has kittens. ”

Wen Ming took the flower cat down from Wen Qing's hand, and there were a few small fish the size of fingers in his small bucket.

"Little flower cub, come and eat fish."

A few children surrounded the cat, watching it bite left and right, and two or three fish went down to the stomach, making a gobbling sound from time to time.

An Ran was pushed out by her mother to bask in the sun, she hadn't seen the sun for a long time, and she nested in the house every day.

An Ran watched a few boys tease a three-flowered cat, which had a flower-like three-color pattern on its back, round eyes, and was very cute.

Looking at the bulging belly, An Ran is sure that this three-flowered cat has cubs, the cat's gestation period is short, and there may be a litter of kittens after the year.

"Sell fish, two pennies a catty, cheap, there are fish every year~"

Wang Yonglin, a big man of more than one meter and eight meters, stood under the big willow tree at the entrance of the village and shouted hard.

"Yonglin, sell fish, my God, there are so many fish, your family does have more than enough every year, you can do it!"

The fourth master of the village put his hand into the water and looked at the fish, these fish are really not small.

"Fourth master, buy one and raise it at home, and wait a few days to eat it for the New Year. Look at this one, you have a lot of family, this one is big and fat, there are few grass carp bones, and it tastes good. ”

Wang Siye looked at the fish that came out, it was indeed fat, if he didn't hesitate to carry it home in previous years, this year it would be shabby.

"Fourth master, if you don't dislike it, a penny and a catty, this fish is about seven or eight yuan, everyone is sad this year, these fish are caught in the river, they are not worth a few dollars, take them back for the New Year."

"Oops, that's embarrassing!"

Although Wang Siye said the words of refusal, he smiled and took the fish with both hands.

"It's a big fish, okay~"

The scales are shining, dazzling in the refraction of the sun, and some of the fish tails are flushed with a touch of red, brilliant as rainbows.

"Oops, so many fish!"

This is what the onlookers sighed, and there are more and more people.

"Brother Wang, you guys are really good at getting so many fish there, no wonder the four sons are all so powerful."

As soon as Sister-in-law Qiu heard that the Wang family was selling fish, she hurried to join in the fun, and couldn't help but marvel when she saw so many fish.

"Sister-in-law Qiu, come and pick one, it's very cheap."

Sister-in-law Qiu naturally takes a fancy to a few good ones, all of them are big carps, and the fish scales are Yeye, especially the red on the tail, like red satin, symbolizing good luck.

"Really not profitable? If you take it to the town, it will be sold for three or four cents a pound. ”

"I won't make everyone's money this year, and when next year is better, the big guys will be indispensable to me, do you say?

The villagers, everyone helps each other, and next year will be a good year. ”

Wang Yongye is the person who is the best at talking in the Wang family, and he is warm in his heart, so he writes down his personal feelings.

The lonely and widowed old men standing on the side, looking at the Wang family, were prosperous and envious.

The Wang family is selling fish in full swing, and those in difficulty in the family agree to take credit, and when they get rich in the next year, they can exchange vegetables for it.

The purpose of the Wang family is to take advantage of the New Year to praise their own merits, so that Fubao can grow up well in their family.

"Village Chief, buy fish!"

"You are a fool, my sister-in-law just bought a few big carps."

"Hehe, it's not a joke."

Cao Defa, the village head, came from not far away, originally to convene a meeting of the villagers, but heard that they had all gone to buy fish under the old willow tree.

"Village chief, what are you going to do? What's on this hand? ”

Cao De found that he couldn't laugh when he was laughing, and his two thick eyebrows frowned together, whether he wanted to tell everyone the news.

"What's going on, what's wrong?"

The first person to react was Sister-in-law Qiu, who looked like she was troubled.

"Listen to me, the county government issued an official document today."

Cao Defa gathered together and unfolded the official document in his hand, and every word on it pierced people's hearts.

"In the winter of the tenth year of Qingyuan, the Southern Barbarians felled. Today's decisive battle is long, our country's elite is trapped in southern Xinjiang, the country's money and food are all here, and the country's loyal soldiers are buried here. At present, there is no surplus grain in the national government, the strength of the soldiers is insufficient, and the key to survival is to recruit the whole country to be strong, one household and one ding, or to replace the soldiers with grain......"

People were stunned when they heard it, and everyone had no culture, so they heard what soldiers and what food.

"Village chief, tell us what you mean!"

Father Wang's hands trembled, he couldn't be more familiar with this official document, and the village chief's voice echoed in his ears over and over again.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"It's going to be conscripted."

Daddy Wang slowly spit out a few words from his mouth, and the words were heavy.

Cao Defa told the villagers that the words on the document were simple and easy to understand.

Changtao is now at war, the treasury is empty, and the food money is insufficient, such as today's son wants to recruit troops from the world to fight the southern barbarians, and every family has a man, and there is another kind of food without people.

Replacing people with enough food is aimed at ordinary people and high-ranking officials, eunuchs, wealthy businessmen, and magnates.

Naturally, the common people could not hand over enough food, and the rich and powerful families only needed to contribute some food to avoid the suffering of conscription.

Hearing this, the originally happy people sat down on the ground, beating their hands and feet on the ground, do they want to live!

If there is a man in the family and no man, they are all heavy-minded, and if there is a man in the family, they will be sent to war, and if there is no man, they will be given food.

"Ah~ How to live, there is no one to live, there is no food to ask for, there is only one rotten life, if you want it, you will ask Hades to take it, and you will not be reincarnated as a human in the next life."

An Ran touched a little big, the ancient conscription was undoubtedly a life of nine deaths for ordinary people, and those who could come back alive would not say how capable he was, only that his life was hard.

The Wang family has the most men, but they are not separated, which means that they either send a head for thousands of miles, or send ten loads of grain.
