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

Chapter 4 Knocking on the door in the middle of the night begging for life!
Tai Jizu didn't know that his daughter was sending him good luck. He just thought that his daughter was getting close to him, so he happily touched her again and again.

So, Zhuzhu just finished eating a bowl of fish soup and steamed steamed buns and fell asleep again.

Yang Lihua was careful, seeing that something was wrong with her daughter, she whispered, "Father, is my daughter uncomfortable? Why do you keep sleeping?"

Tai Jizu didn't know, but he tried to see if his daughter's forehead was not hot, so he comforted his daughter-in-law and said, "Don't worry, it's probably a severe knock. Sleep a lot and rest your mind."

Yang Lihua had no choice, so she said: "Put down the fish soup, and let Zhuzhu continue to drink tomorrow morning. You should be more alert tonight, and help me watch Zhuzhu so that she doesn't get hot.

"Also, you can no longer touch the child's head. As the old saying goes, the child is too young, the soul is not stable, and it is easy to startle when touching the head."

Tai Jizu touched his nose, feeling a little guilty, "My daughter asked me to touch her, so I just touched her twice. I didn't know it would shock her."

Yang Lihua didn't really blame him, so she quickly spread the quilt and got ready to sleep.

The couple watched over their little daughter and slept in a worn-out bedding.

Although the cotton wool agglomerated a bit, the two of them were still very satisfied.

The night was dark, and the north wind caught the snow particles, making a rustling sound when they hit the window lattice.

The world fell into complete silence!
Suddenly someone ran in a hurry in the darkness, and then "bang bang" slammed the courtyard gate of Tai's house.

Old Master Tai was alert, he was the first to get up, put on his coat and went out to have a look.

"Who knocked on the door?"

In the dark night, Tai Sanye's old and hoarse voice was especially clear, "Sixth brother, open the door quickly! Something happened, please help!"

At this moment, Tai Jizu and Tai Jizong also came out.

Hearing this, Old Master Tai hurriedly asked them to open the door and let Third Master Tai and others in.

The main room was lit with pine trees, it wasn't bright, but it still showed Mr. Tai and the man behind him clearly.

Both of them looked bad, especially the man's eyes were swollen.

He knelt down in front of Mr. Tai and burst into tears, "Sixth Uncle, please be merciful, woo woo, please give our Tie Daner a bowl of fish soup.

"It's useless for me to be a father! Woohoo!"

The three Tai family masters frowned when they heard this, wondering what happened.

It was Tai Sanye who choked up and explained a few words, "The iron egg caught fish and fell into the ice hole and froze, and now it's burning badly, I've tried everything, I'm afraid...it won't work.

"Sixth brother, if there is still fish soup at home, let's share it with the iron egg. This child is also pitiful. He still eats fish soup while talking nonsense."

Grandpa Tai hesitated for a moment, and finally looked at his eldest son.

Tai Jizu immediately understood and entered the west room. The old man went to the corner and picked his own wine gourd.

……

At the end of the village there is a shabby thatched house with a rotten roof, and the north wind blows the doors and windows made of wooden slats and rattles.

There were three or five villagers standing on the ground in the house, and on the kang, a woman in shabby clothes hugged a boy who was burning and flushed, crying heartbroken.

"Tiedan'er, mother's iron egg! I feel so bad for my mother. Open your eyes. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let you go to the river!"

Unfortunately, the boy closed his eyes tightly and couldn't hear at all.

The woman was completely desperate, she grabbed one of the broom bumps and slammed it on the top of her head, "God, blind thief, I will fight you!

"There are either droughts or floods every year. If we don't collect food at all, you will starve us all to death!"
"Poor my iron egg, I haven't had a full meal in my life!"

The villagers wanted to persuade them, but they didn't know what to say, so they pulled up their sleeves and wiped their eyes.

Hidden in the rotten haystack at the end of the kang were two black and skinny little girls with sniveling noses. They didn't even have clothes, only half a pair of ripped trousers that would cover their buttocks, and they were hugging each other and crying hard.

Mr. Tai arrived at this time, and everyone rushed forward as if they had seen a savior.

Mr. Tai opened the wine gourd and poured out half a bowl of strong wine. Tai Jizu also put down the pottery basin containing fish soup.

Tiedan Niang was stunned, her eyes slowly brightened, she put her son down and kowtowed.

"Wuuu, Uncle Six, I kowtow to you, Tie Daner... Tie Daner is saved!"

Grandpa Tai waved his hands and persuaded: "My family members, don't be too polite. Quickly rub the wine with Tiedan, this will reduce the fever quickly!

"Fortunately, that lazy guy, the third child, was wandering around the city and brought me back half a bottle of wine a few days ago. Otherwise, I would have been unable to save Tiedan'er even if I wanted to."

Tie Danniang persisted and kowtowed three more times before hurriedly leaving with trembling hands.

Two neighbor women were afraid that she would spill the good stuff, so they also helped. Soon Tiedan'er's body was even redder from being rubbed. While he was still sweating under the quilt, Mr. Tai looked at the pile of rotten grass at the end of the kang. , I could only call my son to go home and bring him his own bedding.

Tie Dan'er, who smelled of alcohol, was covered with a thick quilt, and was poured another bowl of hot fish soup.

After a while, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The villagers couldn't help but be happy.

"Okay, okay, sweating means that the fever is gone."

"This kid has been rescued!"

Tiedan'er's parents also cried heartbrokenly, but Third Master Tai and Old Master Tai both breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past two years, five or six half-children in the clan starved to death, but they couldn't bear the loss any more.

……

At dawn, the yawning Zhuzhu hugged her mother's neck and had breakfast with her family.On the dining table in the main room, there was a pot of sorghum rice porridge that could make people visible, plus a dustpan of steamed buns, and half a plate of crushed pickled cucumbers.

The steamed steamed buns are made from rice bran and two handfuls of sorghum flour. They are dark and hard to chew. When you swallow them, your throat hurts like needles.

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue stretched their thin necks hard, trying to swallow the buns, and their faces turned red from holding back.

Zhuzhu grinned in fear, fearing that her brother's big head would fall off.

She stretched out her little chubby hand, trying hard to push half a bowl of fish soup to her brother, and the little milk fat who was so anxious that her face followed suit, and finally choked out a word, "Time!"

The whole family was happy and praised one after another.

"Oh, Zhuzhu speaks more clearly!"

"In the future, if you teach slowly, you will be able to say more!"

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue were even more happy, but the remaining fish soup at home was taken to save Tiedan'er, leaving only half a bowl for their sister, and they were reluctant to drink it.

So they pulled up their sleeves to cover their mouths, and pretended to take a sip on the edge of the soup bowl, tapping it hard twice.

"It's delicious. The fish soup my sister feeds me is so fragrant!"

"Hmm, yes, it tastes so good!"

The soft and waxy little chubby girl really thought her brother had drunk the soup. She had little purple "horns" on her forehead and her big eyes were bright when she smiled, like a lucky doll in a New Year picture.

Seeing this, Tai Jizu hurriedly mentioned it to the old man again, "Father, I will go to the foot of the mountain after dinner, and I will definitely not go into the mountain, okay?"

The old man looked at the fat girl with a bulging mouth, and finally nodded, "Put on my big coat and come back after a walk!"

Tai Jizu nodded quickly, and the three brothers Tai Yongan, Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue cheered.

Needless to say, they are going to join in the fun!
