Then Cai Yazhi packed up a bunch of tools and prepared to make dinner. In winter, especially in the mountains, it gets dark early. Now that I am cooking, when it gets dark at six o'clock, I can just sit on the kang to eat and chat.

So he asked Zhang Taiping what to have for dinner?

"Just get some polenta."

But there is no more steamed buns, and there is no fermented noodles too late to bake pot helmets. The night is too long to eat porridge alone, and people will be very hungry in the middle of the night or early in the morning.

"There's no more pot helmets, so that's a problem. By the way, I remember someone sent some persimmons a few days ago, right?"

Yes, but persimmons are also not resistant to hunger.

"I didn't say to eat persimmons directly, but to mix persimmons with noodles to bake persimmon buns. You don't need to wait for the noodles to ferment, you can make it directly with noodles."

As soon as Cai Yazhi remembered that persimmons can also be used to bake persimmon cakes, the steamed buns are red in color and taste sweet and delicious, so she nodded her head in response.

Zhang Taiping asked again: "Are there any eggs at home?"

Cai Yazhi nodded in agreement.There are still a few chickens in the family now, and they can collect three or four eggs every day. In addition to giving three to the father and daughter every morning, Cai Yazhi doesn't eat it herself, and can save some eggs one by one.

"Then add two or three eggs to the dough when kneading the dough, the taste will be better, and it will not have the sticky texture of the steamed buns baked with pure persimmons, so it will not stick to the teeth."

Cai Yazhi said that after writing it down, she went to cook.

Zhang Taiping was alone and had nothing to do, so he grabbed a handful of red dates from the jujube tree in the backyard from the cabinet and went out.Followed by persimmon, squirrel will follow Xiao Yaya, Xiao Ying and Xiao Wu have gone out early and returned late these days, and now they don't know where to go to have fun.

Wandering aimlessly in the village, he threw a jujube into his mouth, followed by the lion and Ah Huang who came out of nowhere.It was getting dark, Zhang Taiping casually scanned the roadside looking for Yaya's figure while walking.

After walking around the village, Zhang Taiping didn't see her, so Zhang Taiping thought she had gone back, so he also went home.However, when he walked to the big field in the center of the village, he saw Yaya running out in a panic, Zhang Taiping couldn't help frowning.

Seeing Zhang Taiping, Yaya said nervously: "Father, they, they are roasting sweet potatoes."

"Who is roasting sweet potatoes?"

The little girl rested for a while and spoke much more smoothly: "It's Er Gouzi and the others." Zhang Taiping didn't know the name of this kid named Er Gouzi, only that his parents went out to work and didn't come back a few times a year. He lives with his grandparents, who are not strict in discipline, and the child is a bit naughty when he is seven years old.I also went to the house with other children several times, but I dare not enter the house every time, because I am really afraid of Zhang Taiping.

Zhang Taiping suddenly felt that something was wrong, the direction Yaya was pointing at was the direction of the straw pile, how could he be roasting sweet potatoes there?

"Stand here and don't move, Dad will go and have a look." Zhang Taiping said and ran towards the straw pile.Roasting sweet potatoes here is really daring. If it catches fire and burns the pile of straw, it is a trivial matter, but once the child is burned, it is not a trivial matter.Now that I am also a father, I compare my heart to my heart. If their children were burned, how sad their parents would be.

But before Zhang Taiping could get up to him, he saw flames coming up from behind a pile of straw.The three wild boys ran out from behind the straw pile with ashamed faces, and panic was written on everyone's face.When passing by Zhang Taiping, Zhang Taiping grabbed the Er Gouzi and asked.

"Is there anyone else behind?"

Er Gouzi's eyes were full of fear. Although he was still a six or seven-year-old child who was not sensible, he also knew that he had caused a catastrophe this time. He regained his sanity after Zhang Taiping shouted and asked, pointing with his right hand and stammering: "God. Every day. Still. Still over there."

Zhang Taiping was shocked when he heard this, he put Er Gouzi on the ground, and rushed towards the burning straw pile like an arrow off the string.Er Gouzi, who was placed on the ground, sat on the ground, but his legs became weak and he couldn't run.

When Zhang Taiping rushed to the front of the fire, he was relieved to see the situation here, the fire was still burning, but there was still a few meters away from the little girl Tian Tian.It's just that the little girl Tiantian seemed to be frightened, she stood there motionless, her face was reddened by the fire, her eyes were full of surprise, her body was trembling but she couldn't move.

He picked up Xiao Gunian and jumped to the side.The fire was already very large, and it became a climate. Although Zhang Taiping boasted that his force value had no limit, it had no effect on saving lives.When Zhang Taiping put the little girl next to Er Gouzi, the little girl burst into tears.Zhang Taiping also picked up Er Gouzi, and put the two children in the burning straw pile more than 100 meters away from where Yaya was standing.

"As soon as someone comes to put out the fire, you should stand aside and don't block the way or run around. Do you understand?" Zhang Taiping said to the three children.

Seeing that the three nodded their heads in a hurry, Zhang Taiping ran towards the village chief's house. Halfway through, someone saw Huo Guang running over with a bucket carrying a pole.Zhang Taiping ignored the people who ran up, and ran directly to the village chief's house, and said to the village chief who also wanted the bucket to run out: "Uncle, don't run first, a few people can't do anything, you should use the horn now." Let the villagers come out to fight the fire, not only bring buckets but also forks."

The old village head also understood when he heard it, and quickly turned on the loudspeaker to inform Zhang Taiping of what he said just now.So everyone who heard the horn started to act, and each of them took buckets and iron forks and ran towards the big field.

Zhang Taiping also took an iron fork from the village chief's house, and when he ran to the burning place, the fire had already spread to four piles of straw.Zhang Taiping did not splash water to save the life, but led the men with forks to pick up the piles that had not yet spread to the fire and cut them off from the source of the fire. Even if it was impossible to save them, only four piles would be burned. Will not spread over others.If it is not picked up in time, a series of fires may continue. The edge of this series of piles is not far from the house next to the big field. Once the fire cannot be controlled, it will be a disaster.

Wheat stalks are really the best kind of firewood, they are too easy to burn, and there is no rush to pour water in the end, so everyone simply ignores the four burning piles in the center, and picks up the forks to pick up the surrounding piles first. open.After picking it up, everyone picked up buckets to carry water and splash water, so that at least there was no possibility of expanding the fire.

Zhang Taiping didn't splash water, but stood on the side with a fork and watched, in case there was no fire coming from the place that was not cleaned.Although the water was constantly being splashed, it had already become a climate. The fire soared into the sky and lit up half of the sky, reflecting on every anxious face.

The whole village was mobilized, and the fire was extinguished in the end, but the four piles in the middle were almost completely burned.People didn't take it lightly, and used a fork to pick up the smoking ashes and poured the water again, making sure that there was no possibility of re-ignition before giving up.

Cai Yazhi also took the bucket, and found Yaya who was standing beside her before she felt relieved.

Everyone waited for the fire to be completely extinguished before they got together and began to explore the cause of the fire. The three children beside them were pale with fright.

In the end, it was the village head who asked the question, and Er Gouzi was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word, but just sat on the ground and stared at the place that had been burned into a pile of ashes in a daze.

The old village chief saw that he couldn't find out the reason from this little bastard, so he turned to Zhang Taiping and said, "Marshal, you were the first to discover the fire, so tell me the reason."

Zhang Taiping also felt the pain of the fire, and told the truth that he didn't deliberately pick out Yaya from the bushes: "I heard from Yaya that a dozen or so children were ignorant and roasted sweet potatoes to start the fire."

"Roast sweet potato? Roast sweet potato in a big field? These little bastards are really bold." The people around were surprised.

The old village chief has nothing to say, what can he do when encountering such a thing?Children are not sensible to please, so they can only let their parents go back and clean up.

At this time, a voice came from the crowd: "Oh, I'm to blame for this incident. At that time, some little children were roasting sweet potatoes by the river. I joked a lot and said, 'Go and bake them in the pile of straw over there, where the fire is burning. Big', I didn't take it to heart after I finished talking, and walked away. Who would have thought that these little bastards would actually be stuffed into the pile to roast in front of them, how courageous they are."

The one who spoke was Wang Laoqiang who liked to joke the most in the village. It wasn't his nickname but his real name, that's all. I didn't know his father's real name at the time, so he chose such a name. Around the age of 40, he usually jokes with everyone in the village, and he is not taboo about meat and vegetables. He has a good temper, but he can't afford to argue.Speaking of which, he is still the descendant of the old village chief, the grandson of the old village chief's father's elder brother, that is, the son of the old village chief's cousin, and he can be regarded as the old village chief's nephew.

When the old village chief heard his words, he was furious immediately, went up and slapped the back of his head twice, and said, "You blunt bastard, you see that kid under ten years old can make such a joke ?"

Wang Laoqiang rubbed the back of his head, the pump was quite heavy, and he was not angry, he said with a smile on his face: "Uncle calm down, I really made a mistake this time, I will bear the loss here alone, what should be paid, It's a lot of money, do you think it's okay?"

In fact, one of these four straw piles is only 100 yuan, four for four hundred, which is not a small amount for ordinary villagers, but this guy can say that he will accompany him without changing his face, not because of her Jiaqing situation. As good as it is, it shows that it is still a character.

I didn't dare to laugh at him when things were like this, because he also had a glorious deed.At that time, a group of gangsters from other villages bullied a young man in the village outside. Zuo Hou felt that the village was coming to beat him. They all came, but it was because of the excitement in the village that they suppressed this matter, only lost some money and did not take people away.

Seeing that he said this, the old village chief stopped slapping him in the face and said: "Then you pay for it." Then he turned around and said to the crowd, take care of his own children when he goes back, this time I will Don't pursue it anymore, it's best not to have a next time."
