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

It's the Hungry Ghost Festival, and the corn in the field is growing day by day. The big corn sticks are half a foot long.

The whole village regarded these corn sticks as if they were eyeballs. Not to mention the patrols that kept walking around every night, they were afraid that small animals and birds would steal one.

People in the village, regardless of the elderly or children, ran to the fields when they had free time, eager to help the corn seedlings use their strength and make the corn stalks bigger and stronger.

On this day, Mr. Tai and Mr. Tai sat on the ground again with Zhuzhu, looking at the cornstarch in their eyes, they really laughed from ear to ear.

Tai Sanye felt itchy and asked in a low voice, "Old Liu, you said that the corn stick has grown so big, are the corn particles inside also bulging? I really want to break one off and have a look, but I'm afraid it won't grow well and it will be wasted. Got food!”

Mr. Tai was also moved. He carefully counted the days and said, "Jiye heard from the merchant that corn is almost the same as sorghum. It stands to reason that sorghum has also eared now, so can corn be eaten?"

"Then take one and take a look?" Tai Sanye squeezed the pipe pot tightly, hesitating in his heart.

Mr. Tai clicked his empty pipe and pot twice. He finally couldn't bear it and said, "Just wait for two days."

"Okay, let's come back the next day."

The two old brothers seemed to have decided on a big thing, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

But they had reached an agreement, but they forgot about Zhuzhu, a naughty girl.

As early as when Mr. Tai was about to break off the corn, she had already thrown off her little fat legs and ran to the corn field.

I'm too small and can't touch the corn sticks, what should I do?
Don't be afraid, we have good helper!
Sesame Ball is a good and conscientious dog. He stepped on the fat girl on his back and stuck out his tongue without even barking when he was tired.

It was Mr. Tai who first noticed that his granddaughter was missing. He looked around and found her. The corn stick in the fat girl's hand also made a "click" sound...

"Oh, oh, oh!" The old man felt very distressed and ran over in a few steps. He was so angry that he couldn't bear to hit his granddaughter even though his hands were pricked with anger.

"Zhuzhu, why did you break off the corn!" The old man took the fat girl off the dog's back, then quickly picked up the corn stick on the ground, carefully checked that it was not broken, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhuzhu blinked her big innocent eyes and looked at her grandfather, feeling aggrieved.

"It was Third Grandpa who said the corn sticks were good to eat, so Zhuzhu broke off one..."

It happened that Mr. Tai also rushed over. Mr. Tai was afraid that his granddaughter would be scolded, so he quickly made up for it.

"Third brother, don't wait two days. Let's break one and cook it today!"

Third Master Tai really couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. Even the good words were said by the old brother.

He is buried up to his neck in dirt, but he can still see things like a little girl.

Besides, who would be willing to beat up and scold Zhuzhu, a precious pimple!

"Okay, what do you mean? Let's go home and boil water!" Mr. Tai waved his hand, as bold as ever.

Zhuzhu immediately clapped the little chubby hand and shouted loudly, "Grandpa Third is the best, Zhuzhu can eat corn now!"

Mr. Tai raised his hand, pulled out the corn stalk, and carried it home for the big white horse and the big black horse to eat freshly.Otherwise, without the corn stalks, it would be a waste of land to keep the corn stalks growing!

The big black horse and the big white horse were led by Tai Jizu. They had just returned from the river and were so happy when they saw the corn pole on the old man's shoulder.

The couple kicked off their hooves and ran over, rolled up the corn leaves in big mouthfuls and ate them, wagging their tails happily from time to time, obviously they were very satisfied with the taste...

Zhuzhu ran over to hug Dahei, and she didn’t forget to give Tai Sanye a “horse love”!
"Dahei, is it delicious? You have to thank Third Grandpa, it's him who wants to break the corn, so you have the corn pole to satisfy your cravings!"

The big black horse turned his lips and looked up at Mr. Tai, his big wet eyes full of desire.

Mr. Tai immediately opened his hand to block the field of corn in the distance, "No! Big black horse, I tell you, you must not steal it, otherwise... otherwise I will send you back to the grassland!"

The big black horse sneezed loudly, then turned around and walked away stubbornly with his wife.Tai Sanye was extremely helpless and turned to his elder brother to protest.

"Can you please take care of the horses at home? They are really like a spirit! I, the leader of the clan, really have no face at all in front of them!"

Mr. Tai laughed and hurriedly coaxed the little brother to go home.

Zhuzhu was jumping ahead with her big corn stick in her arms, her pigtails flying in the wind with joy!

The old people, children and women who were gossiping at the entrance of the village were all surprised when they saw him and stood up to greet him one after another.

"Is there a corn stick in Zhuzhu's arms?"

"It seems like it's not autumn yet, so why did you bring it back?"

Mr. Tai San quickly responded, "When Jiye bought the seeds, the merchants from the south said that the corns can be cooked and eaten when they are about [-]% cooked. Let's break off a stick and come back to try it."

Everyone was stunned, and then their eyes became more intense. It was obvious that they all wanted to know what the corn tasted like.

Mr. Tai simply asked someone to heat up the big stove in the thatched shed, filled half a pot of water, and then peeled off the cornea.

The half-foot-long corn stick is covered with light yellow corn particles, and when you pinch it, a stream of white slurry emerges.

Mr. Tai felt relieved and threw the corn stick in.

So, while the whole village was waiting, the corn sticks were cooked for an hour.

Even though the midday sun made everyone feel oily, no one was willing to leave.

After finally looking forward to opening the pot, the corn sticks were taken out and thrown into the basin of cold water.

Mr. Tai broke off a small piece of corn and handed it to Zhuzhu.

Zhuzhu couldn't wait and took a big bite, then she smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Sweet, grandpa, so sweet!"

Mr. Tai was happy and quickly peeled off a few particles and gave them to his brother.

Third Master Tai carefully put it into his mouth, chewed it, and then shed tears of joy.

"It's really delicious, very fragrant, sweet, and chewy. It's really good food!"

The villagers couldn't bear it anymore and rushed forward one after another, pulling their necks and shouting.

"Uncle Six, give me a little!"

"I also want!"

"Uncle Six, let me have a taste!"

It was Master Tai who controlled the situation by waving the pipe and pot. In the end, regardless of the men, women, old and young, everyone shared a grain of corn to taste.

No one dared to call him "younger master". Firstly, it was enough to taste it, and secondly, everyone was afraid of death!
A grain of corn makes a seedling, a corn stick!
Didn’t you see that the patriarch’s eyes were on fire?I'm afraid my intestines will turn green if I regret it by now!
Whoever dares to suggest breaking the stick will have to go see the Lord of Hell immediately!
Yang Lihua, Liu Dongniang and others also came out of the yard to join in the fun. Zhuzhu ran over and gave her mother and aunt her piece of hair. She shook her pigtails to show off, "Zhuzhu, break it off! Sweet!"

Yang Lihua decisively hugged this silly girl who didn't know whether she was alive or dead and went back to the backyard...

Behind him was Master Tai, shouting his instructions to the villagers.

"Everyone keep their mouths shut. If anyone dares to talk nonsense, I'll break his legs! If everyone else comes to steal the corn, you won't even be able to find a place to cry!" (End of Chapter)
