Orchid and Erlang silently carried the basket, followed Li Yonggui back to the West House, and saw that several people in the house were depressed, not as good as themselves, and couldn't help sighing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the old saying goes: the poor must have pity. Even if this damn big bird's nest filial piety crushes people to death, he can't be so stupid as to let his mother push himself into the fire pit again and again.

But this time Daddy is going to wake up?

Jiro has always wanted to ask what happened to the orchid, and he wanted to ask when he started grabbing the big tongs. But seeing Li Yonggui's red eyes, he didn't dare to speak, and only the sparks of oil lamps were beating in the whole room, and the atmosphere was extremely dull.

"Daddy can't stop you!" In the end, it was Li Yonggui who broke the silence: "It's useless to be a father." ”

Wu felt a chill in his heart, his eyes opened his mouth empty, but he never said anything.

"I think clearly," Li Yonggui took a deep breath: "I've had enough of this nest, if I can't even protect your mother, I'll still be a fart!" Da Lang Erlang, go, go with Dad to catch shrimp! ”

Jiro jumped up suddenly, "Dad! ”

Wu and Da Lang also raised their heads and looked at Li Yonggui with bright eyes.

"I've figured it out today, let's really live our lives better than anything else." Li Yonggui looked at Wu: "Child, we have a small business now, although whether it can be done or not is still two words, but with my hands and feet, I will never let you and the children starve." ”

"Long live Daddy!" Without waiting for Wu's answer, the orchid jumped up and hugged Li Yonggui's neck.

Li Yonggui touched the orchid's head, smiled happily, deep wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes, and suddenly remembered something: "Child's mother, just now, I made my own initiative and promised to give my mother 200 Wen filial piety money every month." ”

Thinking of this, Li Yonggui pursed his lips, and his heart was sudden, knowing that his mother was unreasonable and wrong, but after all, he was the parents who gave birth to him, and this could never be changed. Moreover, the situation at home is embarrassing now, and there is no fixed number of transactions, and Li Yuanwai has no specific explanation, and the money he just got is not even enough to buy the grain that is taxed, and it is undoubtedly worse to hand over 200 yuan.

"Yes," Wu slowly came back to his senses, and also understood what Li Yonggui meant, and wiped his tears with joy.

"Daddy! Mother! You can rest assured! The orchid grinned at Li Yonggui's back, "Waiting for good news tomorrow!" ”

"You girl, come down quickly." Wu said angrily.

"Then let's catch the shrimp quickly!" Erlang's focus for a while is estimated to always be catching shrimp and catching shrimp. It's really ruining the atmosphere.

"I want to go too." The lotus also pulled Li Yonggui's arm: "Dad, take the lotus flower too." ”

"Little girl!" Li Yonggui carried the orchid on his back, and picked up the lotus dotingly, as if he had infinite strength, while comforting the lotus, while beckoning his two sons to take the tools and prepare to go.

"Dad, will there be snakes?" Orchid asked worriedly.

"Don't be afraid, big sister! Where there are snakes in the col, don't make a fuss about it. Erlang was in high spirits at this time, carrying the two back baskets and gesturing, and when he heard the words of the orchid, he shouted and looked at the orchid with contempt.

"Don't worry, Dad, be careful, it's okay, our big mountain pass is full of Sichuan peppers, and there are no poisonous snakes." Let's rub the head of the orchid's bun.

"Yes, I almost forgot," Orchid suddenly remembered when she heard the rattan pepper, "Second brother, bring a few Sichuan peppers back when you come back, don't let anyone see it." Then he stared at Li Yonggui and told him the secret of catching shrimp.

"Save!" Li Yonggui nodded, cut a piece of bacon and chopped it, and beckoned his two sons to go out with tools.

According to Orchid's previous explanation, Li Yonggui first went to the field to catch a few field chickens, and after falling to death, he cut them with a firewood knife, mixed them with bacon with the internal organs and threw them into the back basket and frame.

Lighting the oil lamp, under the leadership of Erlang, the father and son went all the way to the mountain col, and at a glance, several people were dumbfounded, and a large piece of green-shelled lobster was stupid and motionless on the grass floating on the water.

Li Yonggui and Da Lang were directly stunned, Erlang was clever, without saying a word, he poured the bait on the ground, carried the oil lamp and began to catch shrimp in the back basket, and when he caught more than a dozen of them, the two people reacted, and quickly rolled up their trousers to help.

Ouch, Da Lang slipped into the ditch with an unsteady foot, Li Yonggui hurriedly grabbed Da Lang's back collar, and sat on the shore with a snap, saying how embarrassed and embarrassed.

Erlang pointed at the two of them and laughed, then came back to his senses and stuck out his tongue, "Dad, are you okay?" Li Yonggui was stunned for a moment, and also burst out laughing.

A few people didn't care much, wiped their faces indiscriminately, and began to fight by the dim oil lamp.

The three of them worked together, and in a short time they grabbed a whole basket. Erlang also wanted to empty another back basket and continue to catch shrimp in the depths, but was stopped by Li Yonggui, "I don't know the depth of the pond in front, let's talk about it tomorrow at dawn." ”

Only then did they put the basket with the bait diagonally into the water in a few places, and then fixed it tightly with rattan. Jiro also didn't forget to put a basket in the place where the orchid usually fishes. After tossing for more than an hour, the three of them were satisfied with the lights and went home by moonlight.

Lotus and Cheng Tao couldn't resist the drowsiness and fell asleep, Wu mended Li Yonggui's clothes in the dim light of the oil lamp, Orchid washed the bayberry several times, and said to Wu that he begged for a spoonful of salt to soak the bayberry.

Then he started walking around the house, occasionally taking a branch and writing on the ground.

"Mother, why hasn't my father come back yet, what time is it?" Orchid threw down the branch and yawned.

"It's time for the future." Wu scraped his head with a needle and looked out of the house worriedly.

"Mother, do you guess how many tongs we will have to harvest tomorrow?"

"Orchid, do you think this deal can really be done? What if we catch the tongs back, and the shopkeeper Yu doesn't sell it? Wu couldn't help but be a little worried when he thought of this, "The money has to be returned to others." ”

"Mother, don't worry, you didn't listen to what the second brother said, Uncle Yu praised us for being delicious, and we will definitely be able to sell it." Today, we have bought all the medicinal materials, and they can only taste better than today. Let's get some garlic again tomorrow and make a garlic flavor that will sell better. ”

The two of them were talking with each other, when they heard a sound at the courtyard door, and the orchid ran out with a spirit, oh my God, I saw three mud-legged people outside the door carrying a large basket of shrimp on their backs, and holding a large bundle of rattan pepper branches, showing their white teeth in the moonlight, grinning at her.
