In ancient times, there was a Wangjiazhuang in Yancheng County on the north bank of the Huai River, and most of the villagers here made a living by fishing and ferrying.
Due to frequent flooding, the crops here are not growing well, and the people in the village are living a tight life.
At the east end of the village lived an old family surnamed Sun, who was a foreigner, and when he fled to Wangjiazhuang at the age of 30, he fell to the door of Lao Wang's house hungry and dying.
There is an old girl in the old Wang family who has not been married, although the people are impatient, but the heart is particularly good, when she came out at night to pour foot washing water, she opened the door and found the old grandson who was hungry at the door, the Wang girl shouted out Daddy, carried the old sun into the home on the kang, the Wang girl lit the firewood, boiled two bowls of loose rice porridge for the old sun into the stomach.
The old grandson who came back to life was very grateful to the father and daughter, and in the morning he got down early in the morning to fill the water tank with water, split the firewood into small pieces that could burn the fire, and swept the yard clean, and the old king looked at this young man very diligently, and learned during the conversation that he had no other relatives, so he fled the wilderness alone, so he temporarily let him live at home.
Later, Lao Sun entered the Wang family and finally married a daughter-in-law.
The reason why it is said that the old two are because the husband and wife are now over 50 years old, the old king's head is gone, and there is no child under the knee.
It is not that the wife can not have children, in the twenty years after marriage, even the children and daughters have given birth to seven or eight, but unfortunately none of them have been able to support it, and both of them are over 50 years old, and the couple can only sigh: "This is the life of no children and filial piety!" ”
When he was young, he was fine, and his grandson was a diligent man, who opened up a vegetable garden at the mouth of the village, usually helped others to do a short-term job, and then sold some vegetables, and his life was OKAY.
Since there are no children, the old couple has some poultry at home, as well as puppies and kittens, so the family is also lively.
The old wife has a good heart, the old grandson does not cut it, the vegetables grown by his family will often be given to the neighbors in the village to eat, and wang Xiao, the son of the neighbor on the left, grew up eating the things of the old sun family.
Wang Xiao is not very old, but people are very smart, every day "big lady", "big uncle" shouted very sweetly, sometimes help to do some work in the vegetable garden, hungry naturally eat at the old Sun family dinner table, with the old two mouth nagging, someone accompanied to talk, the old two are also eyebrows and smile.
In the middle of the conversation, it is the beginning of the spring of the year again, and it is time for the old grandson to pick up the pickaxe head and plan the vegetable garden again.
As the saying goes: "Man old Morty was brave!" ”
This old man, the physical strength of the work is not able to keep up, just like this, the old sun head planing will take a break, planing, the pickaxe head down to gently ring, the old sun head pulled the pickaxe out of a look, it turned out to be a ring, he bent down to pick it up, handed it to the wife next to him, the wife took it and wiped the dirt with the corner of the coat, and put it on the finger.
You don't have to say that after a few days, the ring that came out of the soil turned out to be golden, and the more you look at it, the better it looks.
Autumn and winter came, and the year came to an end, and the old couple immediately grew a year older.
On this day, the old grandson who got up early every day could not get up from bed, his head was hot, and he was weak. As soon as the wife saw that the old grandson was sick from the cold, she decided to kill a chicken and make some nutritious food for the old man.
The old man ate half a bowl, and his wife ate a piece of meat, and then he didn't want to eat the remaining half bowl, put the bowl into the pot, and thought of leaving it for the old man to eat.
When the eldest lady put the bowl into the pot, the ring on her finger was touched by the lid of the pot and slid into the pot. The eldest lady was anxious to pour a cup of boiling water for her wife, but she did not notice that the ring on her finger had fallen off.
At noon, the eldest lady wanted to scoop water to cook, after she opened the lid of the pot, she couldn't help but be shocked, how could there be a bowl of whole chicken in the pot, and a few white steamed buns, was it because the neighbors knew that the old grandson was sick and sent over?
This is not right, I have never been out of the house, nor have I seen any neighbors come! Besides, there are no such generous neighbors!
What's going on?
The eldest lady returned to the house and told the old sun head lying in the pit to rest, and the old sun head reluctantly smiled and said, "You must be blind!" ”
The eldest lady listened to the old sun head say this, and also felt that it was possible that she had just seen the eyes, she returned to the pot and rubbed her eyes, and then looked, it was still a whole bowl of chicken, and 6 white steamed buns, and then stretched out her finger and poked it, yes, this is all true.
Old Sun Tou still did not believe it, so he braced himself and got off the kang, came to the pot to see, I dripped a well- obedient, the pot not only had a whole bowl of chicken and 6 white buns, but also steamed.
Although old Sun Tou did not understand, but also could not resist the temptation of this meal, he said to the eldest lady: "I have never eaten a few such good meals in my life, don't care how it came, since it is in our family's pot, eat it first and then say!" ”
In this way, the old two had a beautiful lunch.
The eldest lady put some of the leftovers into the pot again, the winter days were also short, and in the blink of an eye, when the eldest lady opened the lid of the pot to make dinner, she saw that there was a bowl of whole chicken and 6 white buns in the pot.
After serving the meal, the eldest lady wanted to take a closer look at whether there was any secret to this pot.
At this time, the eldest lady found the ring in the pot.
The old two understood, this pot has been installed at home for several lifetimes, there will be no magic, this ring may be a treasure.
They wanted to see if it was a surprise to the ring, so they put the ring in the rice jar that was about to bottom out, and then covered it. When they opened the lid of the rice cylinder again, the rice cylinder turned out to be full.
Old Sun Tou put the ring into the money box that was about to be bottomed, and then closed the lid of the money box. When they opened the money box again, the money box was also full.
It seems that this is a magical ring, a treasure.
After the old couple had plenty of money, there were more poor people than before, but the old two did not swell, they still lived the life of taking care of the vegetable garden, whether they could rely on themselves or on themselves, there was a necessary need to let the ring bring something.
Wang Xiao often came to Lao Sun's house for dinner, and later, he discovered the secret of the ring, and one day, he stole the ring while the old two were napping.
Where Wang Xiao had fled to, no one in the village knew.
The loss of the beloved ring, the old couple is naturally very sad.
Whenever it comes to eating, the chickens, ducks, lambs, dogs and kittens in the family will also come up to eat, seeing that the grain in the family has bottomed out again, the eldest lady can't help but nag: "You little things can only eat, and you can't help me find Wang Xiao, he stole the ring, our family's grain tank also bottomed out, and you don't want to eat something good in the future." ”
The big lady nagged, and the little ones immediately became much quieter.
The next morning, the eldest lady found that the little black dog at home was missing, and the old two did not care, thinking that it might be running out to play, but for several days, the little black dog did not return, and the kind-hearted big lady could not help but be a little worried.
Ten days later, the little black dog returned, looking quite thin, and the eldest lady gave it a full meal in pain.
A few days later, the little black dog disappeared again, not only the little black dog disappeared, but even the usually well-behaved little white cat disappeared, and for several days it disappeared, and the big lady's mouth was blistered.
Half a month later, the little white cat suddenly returned, followed by the little black dog.
The little white cat quickly ran into the house, jumped on the pit, and spit a ring on the hand of the eldest bride.
We all know that the dog's sense of smell is very sensitive, Wang Xiao often comes to the old Sun Tou's house, the little black dog can naturally smell his taste, when the big lady and they nagged about the King Thief's ring, the little black dog remembered in his heart, it went out of the house alone, following the body odor that Wang Xiao vaguely left behind, it took several days, it finally found Wang Xiao's residence.
At this time, Wang Xiao went to the other side of the HuaiShui River, built a new house, and married a new daughter-in-law, and lived a very rich life, but sometimes he would be inexplicably sad.
At such a distance, Wang Xiao saw the little black dog of the old Sun family, as if he had seen the deceased again, and he was very happy.
Even the little black dog knew that I was coming, and he entertained the little black and settled him in his own house.
The little black dog has its own thoughts, and on the surface it is obedient to Wang Xiaobai, shaking its head and tail, making Wang Xiao happy. Then, secretly, it was also watching for any traces of the ring.
Later, Xiao Hei learned that the ring was hidden in a box by Wang Xiao, but it could not steal the ring, at this time, it thought of its partner Xiao Bai Cat.
After the little white cat followed the little black dog to Wang Xiao's house, Wang Xiao and his wife were even happier, and even the little white cat snuggled up, which is a prosperous family!
The little white cat lives with its owner every night, and it also observes the location of the box, but the box is tight, how to get the ring out? Wang Xiao and his wife fell asleep, but the little white cat could not sleep, and its head was almost dizzy when it tried to think, and finally it came up with a good way.
While Wang and his wife were asleep, the little white cat grabbed a big mouse, but it bit the mouse's tail and put the mouse's mouth directly against the box. The mouse was frightened, it desperately nibbled the box with its mouth, and after a while, the box was chewed by the rat with its teeth, the little white cat put its paws into the box, it found the ring, the little black dog drove the little white cat out of the Wang Xiao family with a cigarette, along the way, the two were hungry to find something to eat, eat and then hurry.
This evening, the little black dog drove the little white cat through the Huai Water, and when the sky was dark, the two finally returned to their homes.
The little white cat quickly ran to the pit in the back room, spat out the ring in front of the big bride, and Mimi barked a few times. Then the little black dog also rushed to the owner.
When the eldest lady saw that the ring had been brought back, she was naturally overjoyed, and she held the little white cat in her arms for a rare meal. Then, a small white cat was fed a good meal.
The little black dog also came over and shook his head and tail, however, the big lady did not know that the credit also had half of the little black dog, and when she saw the little black dog shaking its head and tail, she said that the little black dog had a meal, saying that it just knew how to play and did not help find the ring.
Little black dog that gas ah! It thought that the little white cat had taken advantage of its work and let it be wronged, so it pounced on the little white cat. Since then, dogs and cats have formed a vendetta.
You see, now that the dog sees the cat, it will still chase and bite it.
