In the winter of 1980, the third branch of the Lin family was so poor they were practically starving.
Mother was bedridden and there was no money for medicine; Father's work points were not enough to support the family. Three-year-old Tuantuan was wrapped in a patched cotton-padded coat and was hungry, but she still coaxed her grandmother that she was not hungry.
Until she fell and tripped, she suddenly gained the ability to understand animal speech:
A sparrow on the eaves announced: Wild eggs are hidden in the cracks of the rocks behind the mountain!
Forest squirrels deliver goods: pine cones and hazelnuts for corn grits!
Underground mountain rats dig for treasure: Century-old ginseng can be exchanged for a lot of money!
From then on, the Lin family achieved a complete turnaround.
They carried baskets of mountain produce home, got medicine, had grain, built brick houses, and their small shops were even more successful than the supply and marketing cooperatives.
An auntie who's such a jerk comes to our house to freeload and steal our food?
With a wave of her little hand, the big yellow dog pounced on her, chasing her so hard she tumbled and crawled!
A naughty child comes to your door and acts wildly and unruly?
The wasps attacked in a swarm, stinging him until he cried out in pain and ran all over the place!
Is the biased old man trying to force a division of the family property to seize the benefits?
The whole village stood up for him, and they scolded the old man until he slunk away!
The whole village calls Tuantuan a little lucky star sent from heaven.
The little girl, however, swayed her pigtails and spoke in a childish voice:
"It's not that Tuantuan is amazing, it's that all the little animals love Tuantuan!"
