"Second sister, go find a longer hemp rope, it will be useful later. Brother Wu, go to the kang room next door, pick some tender spinach, and chop it up, I will be of great use.

Third sister, you lead the fifth sister to sweep out a piece of open space in our backyard. Sixth sister and seventh brother, you go and burn the fire in the kitchen. We will stay outside later. It will not work without the fire to keep warm. If you little ones are too cold, stay in the kang room. Don’t go out. Don’t be cold later.” Huang Yiyun ordered one by one.

"Okay, sister, let's go now." The brothers and sisters of the Huang family who received the instructions suddenly became busy.

After Huang Yiyun washed and tied up his hair, what Huang Yiyun said before was ready, so he waited for Huang Yiyun.

"Look, you can play in the future, and you can also make food for your family to fill your stomach." Huang Yiyun smiled and said after seeing his younger brother and sister looking at him.

Then, he put a long stick under the basket and threw the fine leaves of chopped spinach under the basket. He tied a long rope to the stick under the basket. He hid far away in the kitchen and approached the stove to keep warm. Otherwise, the cold weather would be frozen and there was no thick cotton coat that could not stand it. Huang Yiyun held the rope and stared at the basket with his eyes.

"Sister, are we catching birds in the snow?" Huang Yiqiu said with his eyes lit up when he saw this scene and the birds in front of him.

"Yes, the third sister is so smart." Huang Yiyun smiled and rubbed the third sister's head, and praised him without hesitation.

The shy third sister pursed her lips and smiled.

It has been snowing for a long time, covering a thick layer of ground. The birds on the trees have not been hunting for many days. In addition, there is a drought. Not to mention that people are not full, in the past, birds could also go to the fields to peck at rice, wheat, sweet potato leaves, insects, etc.

Now that drought is coming, the land is not planted, people are not allowed to eat, and birds are not allowed to eat.

When the birds saw fresh and tender leaves on the ground and saw that there was no one near the ground, the birds rushed one by one, couldn't wait to fly down the tree, jumping around under the basket.

"Shh!" Huang Yiyun lowered his voice when he saw that his younger brothers and sisters were impatient.

But after a few small people behind him saw that the birds had already flown under the basket, they still didn't see their elder sister pulling the basket down and covering the birds.

Several small people were pulling Huang Yiyun's clothes one after another.

After seeing this, Huang Yiyun couldn't help but sigh in his heart and pulled the rope in his hand.

Only a few scattered birds were covered.

As for the other birds that were not in the basket, they flew high and fell back on the wall. However, they didn't know what was going on, chirping, stretching their feathers from time to time, just staring at the chopped spinach leaves.

"I've grabbed it, sister, this bird is really caught." After seeing that the few young people really caught more than a dozen birds in one go, they all ran to the basket excitedly.

"Run slowly, don't fall, can the eldest sister think of the way?" Huang Yiyun shook his head with a laugh after seeing the little ones so happy.

Forget it, you can catch birds anyway.

As long as there is enough bait and these birds have no food, the traps set up by their own house will naturally be deceived, and there is no need to worry about not being able to catch birds.

The birds covered in the basket were chirping and kept flying in the basket, a little panicked.

"Sixth sister, grab the birds in the basket." Huang Yiyun saw that Liu Mei was having fun the fastest, and her nose was red due to cold, and she shouted the happiestly.

"Okay, I'll leave this job to me."

"Don't roll up your sleeves, be careful to be cold, otherwise, you won't have to catch birds anymore." After Huang Yiyun saw that Liu Mei wanted to roll up her sleeves and go into the basket to catch birds, Huang Yiyun scolded.

This winter is so cold, and it will be so cold that it will be terrible?

"Sister, I'm coming too." The seventh brother hurriedly said to Huang Yiyun.

"Okay, everyone takes turns to come. One group of people catches birds, and the other group keeps warm next to the stove. After catching one group, the other group will replace the other group of birds.

Second sister, you will take the fourth brother and two batches, third sister, fifth sister and sixth sister, you will go to the kang room to warm up your body. Don’t be cold anymore. Whoever is disobedient will be disqualified from catching birds. Have you heard it clearly?" Huang Yiyun arranged for everyone to say.

"I heard it clearly." The younger brothers and sisters said in unison.

"Sister, where is me? Where is me? You forgot your seventh brother." Seeing that he had not arranged for him to catch birds, the seventh brother immediately pulled Huang Yiyun and said anxiously.

"Aren't we catching birds now? It's cold here. My elder sister will catch you a few birds and go to the kang room to play with you. We'll have barbecue birds tonight, and I'll eat more tonight." Huang Yiyun was a little worried that my seventh brother was playing outside, so he quickly changed his mind and fooled him.

"Okay then! Let's catch a few birds and go back to the kang room to play." Huang Yiwen nodded reluctantly.

"Big sister, Qilang, what are you playing outside? She smiled so happily, and what food did you find today?" Huang Li asked after seeing Huang Yiyun come in from outside.

"Grandma, uncle, mom, what do you think this is?" Qilang grabbed a sparrow in one hand, offered treasures in front of the Huang Li and the other two, shouting happily.

"This is a sparrow, big sister, this is what you said to have found new food." Huang Li asked.

"This bird flies in the sky..., cough cough, we don't have bows and arrows, how did you catch it?" Huang Jiang asked in surprise.

However, Huang Jiang kept coughing while speaking, and his face turned red.

"Auntie, drink some water, and say slowly. Didn't the eldest sister ask uncle to make a basket yesterday? The eldest sister set a stick under the basket, with a rope wrapped around it, and some tender spinach leaves were sprinkled under the basket. When the birds saw it, they would naturally fly down the basket to eat the tender spinach leaves below. Once we pull the stick, all the birds that came down in the basket will cover it." Huang Yiyun poured a glass of water to Huang Jiangshi and explained slowly.

"Auntie is fine, it's an old problem. In winter, I'll cough and wheeze, and I'll cough." Huang Jiang took a sip of water and said.

"This method is good. The second sister and the others are still catching birds outside! Uncle, go and watch, let's catch more, give them food to the children and the others, and then dry them. After spring comes, we will eat on the road." After hearing the eldest sister's words, my eyes lit up.

Then, I got up and ran out. Isn’t it easy to find some food now?

"Big sister, how did you think of this method when you sit here?" Huang Li patted the kang beside her and signaled Huang Yiyun to sit down.
