Little Fubao from the farmhouse takes space to flee famine

Chapter 22

The warm sun in winter is especially cherished. Seeing that the new year is coming, 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 big fish rolled in the muddy water of the small pond.

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

"Father, there is one, and that one is so big!"

"Wow! This one is the biggest!"

Several women were guarding the child on the shore, fearing that he would roll into a mud monkey later.

All these fish are going to be sold, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and every family pays attention to a surplus every year, so it is a good time to sell fish.

Father Wang decided to take care of the villagers in the village first, and if they were not sold out, he would take them to the town.

There are too many fish to be transported to the 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 a few branches are left after being damaged by the flood.

The fish is packed in a rice bucket, which is extremely huge, and it is full of more than a hundred fish, which are black and squeezed together.

Some fish are so crowded that their white bellies are turned out, and their mouths are open and closed.

The sun is shining today, and several small sparrows looking for food in winter are flying around among the trees, and a pair of sharp eyes under the tree are staring at the sparrows on the tree.

As long as they fly down, a nimble figure will catch them under the minions.

"Xiao Huazi, come here quickly, there are fish to eat."

Hearing someone calling himself, his furry head turned around, jumped out of the grass beside him, and his tail circled around his feet.

After a few meows, several children picked up the cat.

"Has Little Flower Cub gained weight? Look at its round belly."

"Stupid! Xiaohuazi has a kitten."

Wen Ming took the cat off Wen Qing's hands, and there were a few finger-sized fish in his small bucket.

"Little Huazai, come and eat the fish."

Several children surrounded the flower cat, watching it tilt its head and head, bite left and right, eat a fish two or three times, and gobble it up 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, she was nestled in the house every day.

An Ran watched a few boys teasing a three-colored cat. This three-colored cat has a flower-like three-color pattern on its back, round eyes, very cute.

Looking at the bulging belly, An Ran was sure that this three-coloured cat had cubs. Cats have a short gestation period, and there might be a litter of kittens in the next year.

"Selling fish, two yuan per catty, cheap, and there are fish every year~"

Wang Yonglin, a 1.8-meter tall man, stood under the big willow tree at the entrance of the village and peddled hard.

"Yong Lin, sell fish, my God, with so many fish, your family is indeed more than enough every year, you are capable!"

The fourth master Wang of the village put his hand into the water to look at the fish. These fish are really big.

"Fourth Master, buy one and keep it at home, and wait for a few days to eat it during the New Year. Look at this one, you have a lot of family members, this one is big and fat, has fewer grass carp bones, and tastes good."

Fourth Master Wang looked at the fish he brought out, and it was indeed plump. If he had taken it home without hesitation in previous years, this year it would be shabby.

"Fourth Master, if you don't mind, a penny is a catty, and this fish is about seven or eight pennies. This year, everyone is sad. These fish are all caught in the river. They are not worth a lot of money. Take them back for the New Year."

"Oh, what an embarrassment!"

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

"What a big fish, okay~"

The scales of the fish are shining, dazzling under the refraction of the sun, and some fish tails are glowing with a touch of red, which is as gorgeous as a rainbow.

"Oh, so many fish!"

This is what the onlookers lamented. There are more and more people, and they are amazed.

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

As soon as Mrs. Qiu heard that the Wang family was selling fish, she hurried to join in the fun. Seeing so many fish, she couldn't help being amazed.

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

Sister-in-law Qiu naturally took a fancy to a few good ones, all of which were big carps with bright scales, especially the red color on the tail, like red satin, symbolizing good luck.

"Is it really not profitable? Take it to the town and sell it for three or four yuan a catty."

"I won't make everyone's money this year, and when things get better next year, the big guys will be indispensable to me, don't you think so?

The folks in the village, everyone helps each other, and next year will definitely be a good year. "

Wang Yongye is the most eloquent person in the Wang family, and the big guy's heart is warmed when he speaks, and he will write down his personal feelings.

The widowed and lonely old men who stood aside looked at the Wang family's thriving family and envied them endlessly.

The fish sales of the Wang family were in full swing, and those in difficulty agreed to pay on credit, and they would be able to exchange vegetables for vegetables when they became rich in the coming year.

The purpose of the Wang family is to take advantage of the new year to give some merit to their family, so that Fubao can grow up well in their family.

"Village chief, buy fish!"

"You idiot, sister-in-law Qiu bought a few big carps just now."

"Hey, this is not a joke."

The village head, Cao Defa, came from not far away. He wanted to call a meeting with the villagers, but I heard that they all went to buy fish under the old willow tree.

"Village chief, what are you going to do? What are you doing here?"

Cao De found that he couldn't even smile now, his thick eyebrows were knit together, should he tell everyone the news.

"What's the matter, what happened?"

The first one to react was Qiu's sister-in-law, who seemed to be troubled.

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

Cao Defa took advantage of everyone's gathering and unfolded the official document in his hand. Every word on it pierced people's hearts.

"In the winter of the tenth year of Qingyuan, the southern barbarians attacked. Now the decisive battle is long, and the elite of our country is trapped in the southern border. The money and food of the country are exhausted here, and the bones of the loyal soldiers of the country are buried here. At present, the government has no food left, and the strength of the army is insufficient. It is a matter of survival, and the whole country is recruited. Ding Zhuang, one family per family, or food instead of soldiers..."

People were taken aback when they heard it. Everyone had no education, so they only heard about soldiers and food.

"Village Chief, just tell us what you mean!"

Father Wang's hands trembled, he was very familiar with this official document, and the voice of the village chief echoed in his ears over and over again.

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

"We're going to be drafted."

Father Wang spit out a few words slowly, and the words were heavy.

Cao Defa informed the villagers of the words on the document in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.

Chang Tao is now fighting, the treasury is empty, and the food and money are insufficient. Today, he wants to recruit soldiers from all over the world to fight the southern barbarians.

Using enough food to replace people, this one is aimed at ordinary people and dignitaries, rich businessmen and wealthy businessmen.

Naturally, the common people couldn't hand over enough food, but the rich and powerful only needed to contribute some food to avoid the pain of conscription.

Hearing this, the originally joyful people slumped on the ground, beating the ground with their hands and feet, wanting to live!
Those who have men in the family and those who have no men are very worried. If each family smokes a dime, if there are men in the family, they will be sent to war, and if there are no men, they will be given food.

"Ah~ how do you live? If you want people, there is no one. If you want food, there is no food. There is only one life. If you want it, let the king of hell take it away. Don't want to be reborn as a human being in the next life."

An Ran was a little touched. For ordinary people, conscription in ancient times undoubtedly meant a narrow escape from death. People who came back alive would not say how capable they were, only that they had a tough life.

The Wang family has the most men, but they are not separated, that is to say, they either send a head a thousand miles away, or send ten loads of food.
