Disastrous year!Before the whole family is wiped out, a little blessing falls from the sky!

Chapter 3 The daydream came true!
In the past few years, natural disasters have continued. Not only did the family have no food harvest, but they also owed the government a lot of food taxes.

When the Yamen came to urge them, some families had no choice but to sell their children, pigs, sheep, and even their mothers-in-law!

It is lucky that the mother-in-law and children can stay, and the family is also poor.

Every year, several old people and infants are starved to death.

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

Before Tai Sanye took the opportunity to swear a few more words about the injustice of heaven, Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue ran back with a broken wooden basin like they were chased by dogs.

They shouted as soon as they kicked open the door.

"Grandpa, grandpa! We've got a fish! Whoa, a lot of fish!"

"Stew fish soup, stew fish soup for my sister!"

Mr. Tai and Mr. Tai were talking. They were so frightened that they almost slipped off their chairs.

Mr. Tai raised his foot to kick his grandson, but when he saw five or six palm-sized crucian carp seeds in the basin, he was extremely happy.

Third Master Tai almost plucked 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 they didn't feel cold, so they danced and showed off.

"We dug a hole in the ice, stretched the fence in, and caught so much in the first swipe. We still wanted to fish, but the three fat guys were jealous. They snatched the ice hole and our fish, so we hurriedly took it." came back!"

"That's right, Fatty Three and the others are still lying on the ice, freezing them to death, you bastards!"

The two brothers were talking, remembering that their sister was about to run to the west room, but the old man grabbed her by the neck and pulled her back.

"Your sister is asleep, don't disturb her."

But Third Master Tai couldn't wait any longer. He didn't bend his waist anymore, and his back was bent. He strode out, "I'll go and have a look."

As a result, when he reached the gate of the courtyard, he ran into a large group of villagers.

Everyone brought wooden basins and copied the fence at home.

The children had been arguing so violently just now, whoever heard the whole story wanted to follow suit!

For a while, the small river outside the village was densely packed with villagers digging holes and raising fences.

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue jumped anxiously, fearing that the villagers would catch the remaining small fish.

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

But Mr. Tai stopped them, "Forget it, don't be greedy, our family already has a few, let the villagers fish for the rest.

"Hold the firewood, cook fish soup quickly, after a while Zhuzhu wakes up and should be hungry!"

After all, he looked out the door, full of doubts in his heart.

Could it be that Zhuzhu woke up and their family changed their luck?
It's been a long time since the river outside the village has fished out anything, and the two boys actually have fish as soon as they go...

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

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

Half an hour later, the kitchen was filled with aroma.

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

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

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue were impatient, gasping for air from the heat, while still drinking the fish soup quickly.

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

All of them were so cold that they couldn't feel their feet, their eyes and eyebrows were covered with hoarfrost, and they were wrapped in ragged cotton jackets and shivered as if shaking.

Not to mention the fish, even the scales of the fish have not been seen!
Some people couldn't bear it and went back to the village one after another.But some people were not reconciled. They grabbed a handful of crushed ice and filled their mouths, cheating their stomachs, and then continued to dig holes in the ice.

When it's such a mess, it's natural not to take care of the children.

A boy of seven or eight years old slipped and fell into the ice cave.

Fortunately, the villagers next to him had quick eyesight and quick hands and picked up the kid.

The boy's tattered coat and trousers were soaked through, his face was pale from the cold, and his upper and lower teeth were chattering, but he was making a fuss and refused to leave.

"Hey, I'm not leaving... Hehe, I want to drink fish soup! Fish soup!"

A man was so angry that he cursed, "Go back quickly and let it freeze for a while, then you can go drink soup with the Lord of Hell!"

The neighbor with a child pulled the child away and left, and the rest followed behind, fearing that they would also fall into the water.

When passing by the gate of Tai's house, there was a faint scent wafting out from the yard and getting into his nose.

Everyone couldn't help swallowing, and dawdled their feet for a while, but seeing that Tai's house didn't intend to open the door, they could only walk away dejectedly.

Also, it’s good to be able to take care of your own family these days without starving. Who can have the spare time to take care of other people’s families...

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue lay on the crack of the gate, seeing that everyone outside had left, they quickly wiped their noses and ran back.

My sister's fish soup is saved!

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

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

Yang Lihua quickly dropped her needle and thread, hugged her daughter with a smile, "Mother's Zhuzhu is awake, is she hungry? Mother will feed my little pig, Bao'er, to be full!"

While talking, Tai Jizu, who was lying on the other side, also came over, and quickly opened the earthen stove connected to the big kang.

The half-red wood in the stove was burning, and the clay pot sitting on the stove was heated, and the aroma of fish soup became stronger.

Zhuzhu's stomach growled, and she kicked her calves excitedly and jumped up in her mother's arms.

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

Yang Lihua filled half a bowl of fish soup for her daughter, broke off half a piece of sorghum steamed corn bread, and soaked it in the fish soup.

After Zhuzhu took a sip, she stared at Mao Dudu's big eyes in surprise.

The little milk fat on her face was trembling, pointing at the fish soup non-stop.

"Little Zhu Baoer likes to eat, doesn't he? Then eat more!" Tai Jizu said happily from ear to ear, "Tomorrow my father will go up the mountain to make you pheasant stew soup, that is better .”

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

Finally, she put her little head under her father's hand and rubbed it again and again.

Daddy patted her head, only when he went out could he get pheasants for the family to eat!
