Chapter 70

The matter passed like this, and I haven't seen Qu Huan for a long time, and everyone gradually forgot about it, and it was the Chinese New Year in a blink of an eye.

Three days ago, it finally snowed heavily, for three days and three nights in a row, and countless people died of freezing and starvation in villages and towns.

In a village as big as Shiliwa, most of the people who went out to beg for food did not rush back to celebrate the New Year. Some people wondered if they all starved to death on the way?
Ding's family was better, not to mention Ding Xiang's family, even Ding's third family didn't starve to death because Hongyu brought money home from the city.

The worst one was Ding Erzhuang's family. Because old man Ding lived with his family, he was so hungry that he didn't even have the energy to curse.

Tie Hammer and Xiao Fang, the two and a half older children, looked pale, and sat obediently on the bed at home, daring not to come out to play all day long, because they were worried that they would consume too much and eat too much.

The whole village is covered with white snow, where is there any atmosphere of Chinese New Year?It would be good if no one died of starvation at home.

There are wild dogs scurrying around on the roads and fields outside the village from time to time. The eyes of dogs that have eaten dead people are all red. When they see children and old people lying around, they all bared their teeth. People in the village dare not go out.

There are fewer and fewer households cooking with smoke in the kitchen at noon, and Ding Laozhong's family has changed from three meals a day to two.

The children had some complaints at home, and Ding Laozhong quarreled back: "Why eat so much? Don't do anything in the winter, let's save the food until next year."

Ding Xiang quite disagreed, "A year ago there was heavy snow covering the quilt, and next year I slept on my pillow with steamed buns. Father and mother, it's not uncommon for you to know this. Seeing the heavy snow this year, next year's wheat harvest will definitely be bumper. What are we afraid of when we have food? Why bother?" Hungry people? We are all growing up, and my parents have suffered a lot before, so let’s eat well if we have anything to eat.”

Ding Xiangniang also said: "Even if there are a lot of pickled vegetables in the house, one of the bamboo rats in the back was fished out and killed, so that the children can satisfy their hunger. For the Chinese New Year, it's good to have a boring meal of meat, how can there be so many?" idea?
I saw that other families were starving to death, but our children were well fed, and I was very happy.Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so don't make trouble. "

Seeing that Ding Laozhong didn't speak, Ding Xiangniang asked the big head and the second head to go to the forest, "You two go to the back and catch a bamboo rat. There is one that is the fattest. I don't think it has grown well in the past two months, so catch it and kill it. Bar."

"Don't rush to kill!" Ding Laozhong hurriedly stopped him. Seeing that the whole family was unhappy, he said awkwardly: "When Yuegui and his wife come back to their mother's house on the second day of the lunar new year, let's cook again. There are eggs at home, fry a green onion It’s also a good dish, don’t waste it like that.”

Seeing that Datou and Ertou didn't listen to him and ran out, Ding Laozhong was afraid that Ding Xiangniang would get angry with Dingxiang, so he hurriedly explained: "I met my father in the village yesterday, I think I was too hungry to leave, and I don't know what to do. For those who celebrate Chinese New Year, let’s say, our family should go and give some gifts to parents.”

Although there was an unpleasant quarrel during the division of land, he did not say to sever the relationship after all. This kind of disregard for human relations is something that Ding Laozhong did not do well wherever it goes.

Besides, he also has a son, and Ding Laozhong really couldn't bear to see Ding's appearance.

Ding Xiangniang and Ding Xiang glanced at each other, Ding Xiang thought about it and said, "Okay, just give 10 catties of grain to grandpa and grandma."
