Live!

Looking at the scene in front of her, Su Zi wanted to say, it's really not that simple to survive!

Tao’s house is a thatched cottage, the walls are that kind of grass mixed with yellow mud, and the fence is made of a few sparse bamboo fences. Like this poor family, the leaves are growing luxuriantly, but the fruit is not a single one!

Su Zi sent her three younger brothers and four younger sisters to play by herself. She first went to the kitchen and walked around. The low, narrow kitchen with a big hole was nothing but a big jet-black iron pot. .

There is no pigsty, let alone a chicken coop!

Su Zi sat silently on the threshold of the kitchen, staring out of the room with her eyes blank.

As dusk fell, all the men, women and children of Taojia Village who had gone out to farm came back.

In August, it was the time of harvesting rice. The men walked back carrying the rice that had been laid down, and the women carried their children with their children, and those with farm tools on their backs.The whole family talked and laughed, even if they were suffering, they enjoyed it.

"Second sister, I'm hungry."

Su Zi looked at the fourth younger sister who sat next to her, reached out to caress the thin face of the fourth younger sister, and sighed, "How about eating some wild fruit?"

The fourth sister nodded and turned to look for the third brother.

Su Zi let out a long sigh, it's not okay to eat wild fruits like this.Besides, after summer, it will be autumn, and the most difficult winter is waiting for her!If one is not good, starving and cold is a dead end!

Aunt Tao came back, and when she saw Su Zi who was sitting on the threshold in a daze, she stepped forward with a sad expression, "Zisu..."

Su Zi looked up at her.

"Is it Zisu?" Aunt Tao looked at her hesitantly.

Su Zi nodded, okay, let's call her Zisu from now on.

"Zisu, you've seen it too. With this situation at home, I won't last a few days with my body. My third brother and fourth sister will depend on you."

Maybe that's why knowing that Zisu is a burden, he insisted on waiting for her and bringing her back!Aunt Tao felt that time was running out, and her third brother and fourth sister needed to be taken alone even if they were going out to beg for food.

"Don't worry, I will take care of them."

Zisu never looked up, so she never saw the momentary sadness in Aunt Tao's eyes.

The two confronted each other silently for a while, Zisu said in a soft voice, "It won't work like this, how will we live in winter?"

I didn't wait for Aunt Tao's answer, and of course Zisu didn't need Aunt Tao's answer either.

"Do we have a field at home?"

"Have."

"Have you planted rice?"

"..."

"Do we have land?"

"Have."

"Have you grown any vegetables?"

"..."

Zisu raised her head, looked at Aunt Tao, and nodded after confirming the truth behind the silence, "Let my third brother take me to our fields and fields."

Aunt Tao nodded.

Zisu wasn't worried about what kind of thoughts her abnormal behavior would bring to Aunt Tao. She was sent away at birth. In seven years, they knew nothing about each other. The strangeness of each other just relieved her. All actions that may not be recognized.Of course, she would never do anything earth-shattering, and she didn't want to be killed by the villagers as a monster.

The two paddy fields of the Tao family are on the side of a mountain road out of the village, and other people's fields are leftover rice stubble, only the two paddy fields of the Tao family have a field of weeds growing all over the place.

Zisu didn't understand, even if Aunt Tao couldn't cultivate a good field, it would be better to plant it for others and harvest a few buckets of rice than to leave it empty!Sighing, he said to Third Brother Tao, "Where is the vegetable field?"

Tao Sandi took her hand and walked up the village for about half a stick of incense, pointing to a field that was also full of weeds and said, "Here."

Zisu doesn't know what sighing is anymore, and if she sighs again, her lungs will burst out of her lungs!

"Go back."

She took Tao Sandi's hand and walked back with her head down, but her eyes lit up as she walked.

"Third brother, do you want to eat rice?"

Tao Sandi nodded, and looked at Zisu suspiciously.

"Then you and the fourth sister will listen to the second sister tomorrow, and if the second sister tells you to do it, will you do it well?"

"it is good."

Tao San's younger brother responded crisply. For him, eating is a very tempting thing.

Zisu nodded, took Tao Sandi's hand and walked back.

There was nothing in the house, and Mrs. Tao lay hunched over on the broken bed with straw mats that could penetrate people, coughing so hard that people could hardly breathe.The village is full of smoke, and other people's homes are cooking, but the Tao family...

Zisu took the fourth sister who was huddled by the threshold and walked towards the kitchen.

Boiled a pot of hot water, bathed her and Third Brother Tao, then pointed to the leftover "milk potion" and said to the two, "Eat this first today, and Second Sister will find something for you tomorrow."

"it is good."

The two responded in unison.

Zisu sent the two of them to lie down on the bed. Those wild fruits could only temporarily fill their stomachs, fall asleep as soon as possible, save all their energy, and hoped that they could last until tomorrow morning.

Zisu sat in the small courtyard for half a stick of incense, then entered the room in the dark, hungry and tired, she ignored Weng Weng's screaming mosquitoes, and fell asleep with her eyes closed.

Zisu woke up with an empty stomach, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Third Brother Tao and Fourth Sister Tao standing in front of her holding hands.

"Second sister." The third brother looked at Zisu, "I will take the fourth sister to listen to the second sister."

Zisu nodded, looked up at Aunt Tao who was sitting on the small kitchen stool blankly, and said softly, "Let the third brother and fourth sister go to the field to pick up grains."

Aunt Tao suddenly raised her head and stared straight at Zisu.

"what happened?"

"Will others agree?" Aunt Tao murmured.

"If you agree or not, how will you know if you don't try! Besides, it's better than starving to death." Zisu sat up and took Tao Sandi and Tao Simei's hands, and told them: "Remember to pick up the millet fields that others have thresh, You are not allowed to steal from others, do you hear me?"

Tao's third brother and Tao's fourth sister nodded.

"When you meet someone with a sweet mouth, you should call uncle and uncle. You count as much as you pick up. Those who haven't threshed the millet and those who are still threshing are not allowed to go, remember?"

"Remember, Second Sister."

Tao Sandi rubbed his stomach that was growling from hunger, "Second Sister, can you really find us something to eat?"

"Well, I'll find it for you as soon as noon."

"Oh, I have something to eat at noon."

Third younger brother Tao took fourth younger sister Tao's hand and walked out.

"Don't go far, pick it up where people can see it, remember."

"Remember, Second Sister."

Zisu glanced at Aunt Tao who was still in a daze, "Go get some firewood and come back."

She thought that Aunt Tao in this life might not be as old as her previous life, so she couldn't say "Mother" no matter what.

Fortunately, Mrs. Tao didn't care too much. Seeing Zisu walking out with a hoe, she couldn't help walking a few steps, "Zisu, where are you going?"

"I'm going to find food for my third brother and fourth sister."
