As soon as Laba is over, I wait for the New Year with my fingers.

No matter how poor the poor are, they still have to pay attention to a festive New Year.

There are dozens of copper coins left in Zisu's hand, and he can't buy good things, but it's still okay to eat white rice on New Year's Day.Take the salted rabbit meat before, dig two radishes in the ground, fry and stew it in a pot, cook a bowl of bitter tofu, and burn a pot of foot potato or old pumpkin, and have a full and warm New Year's Eve dinner. Not a problem!

"Second sister, the weather is fine these days, let's go to the mountains again."

Zisu and Aunt Tao were picking up the coarse grains they had stored away, discussing how to go to the town a few years ago, buy some rice and wheat noodles with the money in their hands, and make some pumpkin steamed buns in the first month, so that even if someone came to drop by, there would be a chance. Something to entertain.Hearing what the third brother said, he suddenly picked up the wolf.

"Don't go." Zisu got up and walked out, pulled the third brother aside, and said: "There are wolves in the mountains, you forget."

"The wolf won't hurt us," said the third brother unwillingly, "Maybe it will bring something when we go."

Zisu laughed with a "puchi", and said to the third brother: "Then if it turns its face and refuses to recognize anyone, will it eat you?"

"No way?" The third brother looked at Zisu hesitantly, "It didn't eat me the last two times."

"That's because it doesn't want to eat it, but in this cold weather, if it is almost starving to death, do you think it wants to eat you?"

The third brother was frightened by Zisu, and was speechless for a while.

When Aunt Tao saw it, she blamed Zisu and said, "Why are you scaring him so well?"

"I'm not scaring him." Zisu brought the third brother to her and said softly, "The second sister wants to tell you that we can be grateful for others' help, but we can't take it for granted. Similarly, one day in the future , You help others when they are in trouble. You can’t think that you have helped him, so he should be grateful to you. Helping others and being helped are both kind behaviors. Don’t lose yourself because of this behavior. Understand?"

The third brother shook his head, "Some understand and some don't understand."

Zisu patted him with a smile and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, think about it later. Let's play!"

The third brother wanted to say that he didn't want to play, he wanted to go hunting in the mountains, but he knew that if his second sister refused, she would not change her mind.He walked out with a sleepy look, and after only a few steps, he shouted at the top of his throat.

"Second sister, come quickly, something happened to Tao Laizi's house."

Zisu and Mrs. Tao were startled at the same time when they heard it, and quickly threw away the work in their hands, and ran out. When they reached the door, they heard the voice of Tao Laizi's butcher's wife crying.

"You heartless stubborn donkey, once you leave, how will you make this family live!"

Tao Laizi's house was surrounded by onlookers, Zisu stepped forward and whispered something in the third brother's ear, and the third brother shook his head.Zi Su picked his ears and said softly, "Go quickly, Second Sister won't listen to you anymore, will you?"

The third brother stomped his feet, ran out angrily, and got into the crowd with a few thuds.

And on this side, Tao Laizi's voice also sounded.

"You stupid woman, I said no, you have to agree. Now it's all right. My son is gone. I'll see what you do."

"You're such a heartless bastard!" The butcher's wife slapped her thighs and scolded Tao Laizi angrily, "If you weren't so useless, I Is there a need to let donkeys go to someone’s backdoor? You are scolding me now, why didn’t you drive people away at that time!”

The two of you scolded each other very lively.Several children in the family stood with their eyes wide open and looked at their parents. After a long time, the youngest son of a bitch yelled "Wow", "I'm going to find my brother."

As soon as he yelled, the remaining children also yelled.

"Don't go, stay at home." The butcher's wife yelled angrily, and stopped the children who were running away, and she said bitterly: "Let him run, he has no money and no clothes, let me see what he will do." live."

Then someone began to persuade her to bring Tao Chenghai back, but everyone who persuaded her was blocked by her words.There were also people who inquired, inside and out, which family Tao Chenghai was going to knock in the door.Tao Bashui and his mother-in-law blocked it with squeaks, it must be something not honorable.

Who knew that the third son Tao Chengdong yelled, "It's for the Chrysanthemum family in the town."

"The Chrysanthemum family?" Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and then asked, "Which Chrysanthemum family?"

"It's the chrysanthemum from our village who married into the town!" Tao Chengdong said loudly, "Her man was taken away by the county government. She became a widow and asked someone to come to our house and say that she wants to recruit my brother!"

With a "wow", the crowd erupted.

On the other hand, the butcher's wife jumped up and gave Tao Chengdong a big ear, and said angrily: "You rotten mouth, don't talk nonsense if you don't know."

The beating made Tao Chengdong stand where he was and cry loudly.

Immediately, someone stepped forward to persuade him, and someone even took the opportunity to find out what was going on.

Gouwa standing in the crowd heard Tao Chengdong's words and saw everyone looking at him in unison. For a moment, his face was ashamed as if he had opened a red dye house. He stamped his feet and pointed at Tao Chengdong and cursed: "You talk nonsense, my sister doesn't have one."

Tao Chengdong didn't dare to yell at his mother, but he was rude to his dog boy. Hearing this, he immediately rushed forward and said loudly: "I'm not talking nonsense. Your sister called Wang Matchmaker to come to my house to talk, why not?" Said, as long as my brother is willing, the child born in the future will also take my brother's surname."

"You..." Gouwa rushed forward with an "owwow", but he was no match for the strong Tao Chengdong, besides Tao Chengdong was standing beside his younger brother Goudan and two other elder brothers Tao Chengcai, Tao Chengyu, brothers see a Seeing that Gouwa dared to beat people in their house, Qiqi jumped on Gouwa without saying a word, punched and kicked Gouwa, and cursed at the same time: "Kill you, a bad thief who steals things, and the whole family will die!" No one is nice."

Gouwa's hands holding his head froze when he heard the sound of "stealing things randomly", and the next moment, he didn't dare to speak back anymore, and just let out a shrill cry.

The surrounding adults hurried forward to pull them away, and at the same time said to the sons of Tao Bashui's family: "If you have something to say, just talk about it. How can you beat someone with so many people?"

"Fuck!" Goudan jumped forward, pointed at Gouwa and cursed: "He deserves a beating, he was the one who stole the rabbit from Aunt Tao's house that day, he not only stole the rabbit but also injured Aunt Tao. "

"not me!"

Gouwa immediately let go of his head and hands, and screamed, "It's not me, you're slandering me."

"It's not you?" Goudan roared loudly: "It's not you, what are you doing in the town? It's not you, you have money to eat braised pig's ears in the town?"

Gouwa froze when he heard that, raised his head, and saw that everyone was looking at him with disgust, and pursed his mouth, "Wow" started to cry, and hissed, "My sister gave me the money."

"Your sister has already said that you and your mother sold him for a tael of silver, and will never recognize you again. She would rather hire a man at home than you come to her door. Will she give you money?"

"She gave it, she gave it."

The third brother hid in the crowd early on, and listened to all the words. After knowing that his rabbit was stolen by Gou Wa, he became very angry, and he yelled, "Gou Wa, I will kill you."

If he really picked up a stone at random, he rushed forward and was about to hit Gou Wa on the head.

"Hey, you can't!"

There was an exclamation from the crowd, and Gouwa's father, Tao Afu, snatched the stone from the third brother's hand, stopped him, and said in a loud voice: "Third brother, you can't take what a child says to be true. Our family Gouwa wouldn't do that."

The third brother blushed and pointed at Gouwa who was hiding behind Tao Afu: "Tell me, is it you? If you don't say it now, someday, I will know. You see, I can't kill you."

"Not me, not me..."

The third brother saw that Gou Wa was refusing to accept his account, and he wanted to rush forward when he yelled "Aww".But a slightly majestic voice sounded next to his ear, "Third brother."

The third brother turned around, looked at his second sister, choked his voice and said, "Second sister, it was Gou Wa who stole our rabbit, and he beat our mother."

Zisu glanced at Gouwa who was hiding behind Tao Afu with his eyes closed and crying, stepped forward and pulled the third younger brother: "Second sister understands, be good, stop arguing, go back with second sister."

"I don't!" The third brother shook Zisu's hand, stared at his red eyes and said, "He has to pay for our rabbit, he has to pay for our family..."

"Okay," Zisu snorted, interrupted the third brother, and said with a worried face, "Do you think he can afford it?"

"I do not care."

Zisu knew that the third brother had a stubborn temper, and it would be impossible to ask him to turn around for a while, so she could only coax him softly, "You go back with the second sister first, we will talk about this later."

The third brother was still stubborn, but after seeing the cold look on Zisu's face, he finally didn't dare to challenge her authority, pointed at Gouwa bitterly, and followed behind Zisu.

And as soon as they left, the spectators at Tao Bashui's house also dispersed.

"Second sister," the fourth sister looked at the silent Zisu in puzzlement, and said softly, "It's obviously the dog's fault, why didn't you talk about him, but the third brother instead."

Zisu picked up the handkerchief and wiped the third brother's tears of grievance, and said softly: "The rabbit has been sold by him, and their family is so poor, what can they pay for? Besides, if he bites him to death, we won't admit it. What can we do? We must pay attention to evidence in everything, if you are not even caught with anything, people can deny it."

"But Brother Goudan, he clearly said..."

"He didn't even take the dog eggs with dirt, did he?" Zisu brought the third brother and fourth sister to sit down beside him, and said softly: "If you want to protect your rights, you must have a reason. Now Now we are right, but without evidence, we can only admit it.”

"Then let him go like this!" The third brother said dissatisfied.

"Where can he get it again?" Zisu rubbed the third younger brother's frowning brows, and said softly: "Everyone in the village knows what kind of people their family is, and they will definitely not want to associate with their family in the future. It's a punishment for them too, isn't it?"

"But our rabbits are gone!"

Zisu laughed with a "puchi", she finally understood the stubbornness of a child.

After all, he managed to appease the two little guys, but Zisu sat on the threshold, lost in thought.

Tao Chenghai left.Before leaving, let his younger brother speak out about Gouwa's thief behavior. Is this a reminder to their family?Let them be on guard in the future.Suddenly, a simple and honest face appeared in front of his eyes, with a pair of dark and kind eyes.Zi Su let out a long sigh.

For Tao Chenghai and himself, maybe Tao Chenghai just wanted to simply prove that his parents are not good people, but he is different.But Zisu couldn't deny that his previous and current behavior had really moved her.

"Tao Zisu."

Zisu withdrew her thoughts and looked up.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Goudan saw her looking up, lowered his head, kicked the surrounding bamboo fence, and said in a muffled voice: "My brother said, what kind of work will you have in the field in the future? Let my brothers and I Help."

"Hey!" Zisu stood up, walked forward, looked at the dog through the fence and said, "Thank you."

"No need." Goudan continued to kick the fence with his foot, "My brother said that we can't be looked down upon." After a pause, he said in a low voice: "Whatever happens to your family in the future, just tell me .”

Zisu was still thinking about how to comfort the sad Goudan who was about to cry, but when Goudan finished speaking, he kicked his feet and ran away.She opened her mouth, and finally swallowed the words that came to her lips.

"The children in their family are all good children."

Aunt Tao's voice sounded in her ears, Zisu turned her head, smiled at Aunt Tao, and said softly, "Yeah, you guys are all fine."

"His aunt!"

There was a humming sound in my ear.

Zisu turned her head, and saw Tao Afu hunched over at a corner of the fence, looking over eagerly.

"Uncle, what's the matter?" Aunt Tao didn't step forward, but stood where she was, with a little coldness in her eyes.

Tao Afu blushed, as if he didn't know where to put his eyes, and said in a low voice: "His aunt, the baby is not sensible, I will accompany you, okay, from now on..."

It's just that before Tao Afu finished speaking, he was interrupted by a curse.

"I told you that you are a thing that can't be put on the wall, and the dog meat can't be served on the table. I told you to go to the vegetable garden to pull some vegetables and come back. What are you doing here!" After pulling Tao Afu a few steps ago, he walked back, cursing and swearing at the rules while walking: "What do you think you are, where are the women posting it? Don't take a pee and take a picture of yourself, people will see I deserve you..."

Seeing Aunt Tao's chest tremble with anger, Zisu sighed and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense, what kind of bird breeds in what kind of nest, there are only two things like her that can be raised. "

Aunt Tao looked at Zisu in astonishment, her lips parted, and after a while she said, "You are not allowed to say such things in the future."

This time the Zisu was replaced by Zisu, and I was stunned. What does Aunt Tao mean by this?Do you think she speaks badly?But who is she doing this for!

"Girls, if you want to get married and live a life in the future, don't just open your mouth to say what you can't say."

It took Zisu a long time to react, and finally she lowered her head and replied, "Understood."
