Peach Blossom's grandfather left early, her grandmother and her only son finally waited for the Taiping World, and saw that the days began to have hope, but Peach Blossom's father was infected with gambling again, and within a few years, the family's land was sold for seventy-seven eighty-eight, and Peach Blossom's grandmother was angry with her son.

As soon as Peach Blossom's milk left, no one could control Peach Blossom's father, so when Peach Blossom was nine years old, her father owed gambling debts and could not repay the creditor's door, and Peach Blossom's father started the idea of selling his daughter.

It can be regarded as a little conscience, he did not pay the peach blossoms to the creditor, but walked around several outsiders in the village who were doing well, saying that he would sell the peach blossoms to their children as daughters-in-law, and also said that if they did not sell them, he could only sell the peach blossoms to the kiln.

However, no one is willing, although Peach Blossom her father keeps saying that it is for sale, but who knows if he will be relied on by this gambler after selling Peach Blossom. In the end, it was Li Ping'an and his aunt Li Dafang couldn't bear to be sold to the kiln and ruined, so they spent two times to buy the peach blossoms and give them to Zhang Xiaoshan as their daughter-in-law.

Li Dafang is not afraid of being relied on by her father in Peach Blossom, she is good enough, Zhang Yu can also fight, Peach Blossom and her father dare to come to their house, they dare to break his leg.

It was explained that Peach Blossom's father also agreed, but Peach Blossom's mother put forward a condition, Peach Blossom had to stay at home and work until she was thirteen years old before she could marry Li Dafang's family.

Li Dafang also agreed, and the two sides made a note under the witness of Chen An, the village chief at the time.

After this experience, Peach Blossom's father not only did not repent, but also intensified, and within two years, he owed a gambling debt, and then started the idea of his second daughter. It's just that Caoya doesn't have the fate of peach blossoms, and she was sold directly to the kiln.

However, the day before Caoya was taken away, a fire broke out in Peach Blossom's house, and Peach Blossom's father and mother and little brother, who was only five years old at the time, were burned to death, and Peach Blossom happened to take Zhao Di to wash clothes by the stream and escaped.

It's just that since that day, everyone hasn't seen grass again.

What is intriguing is that the clothes and quilts of Peach Blossom and Zhaodi, as well as the iron pot rice and grain, were all placed outside the gate of the courtyard, and they were not burned in the fire.

Most of the people in the village speculated that the fire was set by grass, but when the people from the government came to inquire, the villagers tacitly agreed that it was an accidental fire, and the government hastily closed the case. Afterwards, everyone built a thatched house for Peach Blossom and Zhaodi, so that the sisters could have a place to live.

The rest of the sisters depended on each other for their lives, but fortunately, Peach Blossom was strong enough to cheer up quickly, although the life was hard, there was still not enough food and clothing, but at least there was no need to be beaten and scolded. Because Zhao Di was still young, Peach Blossom also specially discussed with Li Dafang to marry Zhang Xiaoshan a few years later, and she still took Zhao Di with her when she didn't want to marry her.

It's not that she dislikes Zhao Di for dragging oil bottles, but that Li Dafang's family doesn't have the responsibility to help her raise Zhao Di, and she doesn't want Zhao Di to live a life under the fence.

Li Dafang felt that Peach Blossom's life was too bitter, and persuaded a few words to add a pair of chopsticks, but seeing that Peach Blossom still insisted, he had to agree, and asked Zhang Xiaoshan to take care of it more often, and do something if he could help do something, send some rice grain during the New Year's Festival, and he didn't forget to send some delicious food to Peach Blossom at home.

……

Hearing Li Ping'an talk about herself, Zhao Di's face turned red all of a sudden, and she hurriedly waved her hand and stammered: "Ping, Brother Ping'an, don't talk nonsense, I'm hungry...... No, it's not, I'm not hungry, it's okay to eat later. ”

It doesn't matter if she eats later, she lives so big, she hasn't eaten enough once, when her father and mother are still there, she sometimes only has two mouthfuls of rice soup left for her by her eldest sister a day, and there are no ten grains of rice in the rice soup. It's just a late meal, it's nothing.

In this situation, she and her eldest sister can only follow Brother Xiaoshan and his family to eat and live, when to eat, how much to eat, she has no opinion, she dare not ask, and she can't ask, for fear that one will accidentally annoy others, and when the time comes, regardless of her and her eldest sister, they can only wait for death.

The peach blossom next to her saw the little sister's helpless expression, and her heart was sour. They are starving, stumbling, and living so big, obviously they are all living so miserable and miserable, why does God still refuse to let them go.

"Mother, Ping'an is right, Dad doesn't know when he will come back, let's eat first." Zhang Xiaoshan also hurriedly persuaded.

Li Dafang also listened to the persuasion, "Then eat it first, you can eat the mountain before you go." ”

Zhang Dashan responded hello, and it was not bad for a while, Li Ping'an didn't wait by the side, and asked Zhang Dashan to call him after eating, and walked away first.

went to the location of the uncle's house to comfort the grandmother for a few words, and returned to the position of the house to play with Xiao Ruyi for a while, when Zhang Dashan came over after eating, he rubbed Xiao Ruyi's head, "Ruyi go and talk to grandma for a while, make grandma happy, and the eldest brother will reward you with a piece of starch candy." ”

Xiao Ruyi's eyes lit up, and she ran towards her grandmother, "Milk, milk......"

Li Ping'an smiled, and Zhang Dashan walked up the mountain with torches, and when other people's families saw this, they also hurriedly sent someone to follow.

The junction of the deep mountain and the front mountain was illuminated by firelight, Li Ping'an didn't want to take a step in front of the past, he stood straight and looked into the dense forest, he didn't see anything except the darkness, the mountain wind rustled the leaves, and there were occasional strange sounds in the dense forest, which made people feel creepy.

I don't know how long it took, a little fire finally appeared in Li Ping'an's sight, and then two o'clock, three o'clock...... In the end, like a fire dragon, he slowly thought about moving in his direction.

Li Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief, "It's back, they're back." ”

Everyone who was waiting here also put down their hearts, laughed and laughed, and some people turned around and ran away with torches, and hurried back to tell their families, and the people who saw it scolded and quickly called a few people to follow, so as not to have any accidents on the way.

There is still some distance to the grass hut, and no one can guarantee that the road will be safe.

The fire dragon was getting closer and closer, and Li Ping'an saw Li Erlin, but he only saw Li Erlin, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.

Zhang Dashan didn't see his father, so he was so anxious that he raised his voice and asked, "Second uncle, where is my father?" ”

"In the back, it's all right!"

Li Erlin's voice came, and Li Ping'an could even hear it mixed with joy, and while his heart was settled, he couldn't help but be curious.

After Li Erlin came out, he asked, "Dad, why did you come back so late?" ”

Li Erlin looked back with a smile, but he didn't answer, Li Ping'an could only tiptoe and look, and after a while, he saw his uncle and three uncles and several villagers working together to carry two wild boars!

"For the sake of these two big guys, it took a lot of time." Li Erlin said at this time.

No wonder I came back so late.

But from the consequential point of view, everyone is safe, and it is worth it to delay the time to get these two wild boars!
