Chapter 49: Door-to-door
"Are you resentful of me as a grandfather?" Old Man Lou is going crazy.
"Grandchildren don't dare."
"What else would you not dare?" Liu Ah scolded sharply, and glared at Lou Chengyi in a blink of an eye: "Third child, you are not a filial son, you let these debt collectors point at my nose and scold me and your father for being unkind and unkind?!" ”
Lou Chengyi has always respected the two elders, but when he heard Lou Hua's accusations and remembered the despair at that time, he immediately became ruthless again. "Daddy, Daddy, in the future, the filial son of the month will mention two hundred texts. As for the big red crayfish business, you don't care, my son has his own sense of proportion. The implication is to reject the meaning of the old house's desire to meddle.
In a few months, the Zhang family earned a few hundred taels, but the monthly case for them was only two hundred wen, and Liu Ah Mo was so angry when he heard this!
The old man Lou was also angry.
Lou Chengzu's temperament was gone, and he pointed to the Sanfang family and scolded: "You are not afraid of being poked in the backbone by people when you do this?!" ”
"Can someone poke the backbone and say a few words less meat?" Speaking of this, Lou Yuzhu glanced at Lou Chengzu and looked at Xu Chunting, who had always watched from the wall, and hooked his lips: "Uncle does you know that Uncle has a very good friend in Wutong Alley in the town?" Not only did he visit for three days and stay there overnight from time to time, but he knew that Uncle Dao had a deep friendship with that friend, and those who didn't know that Uncle Dao was suffocated! ”
Lou Chengzu looked frightened when he saw it.
Xu Chunting was stunned and hurriedly looked at Lou Chengzu, and when he saw the frightened expression on his face, his heart immediately sank like iron and stone.
Throwing the boulder, the people in the old house all looked surprised, Lou Yuzhu smiled and pretended to shout to the old man Lou: "Since we are here today, we will also talk to grandpa." This morning, our family told Li Zheng that in addition to buying 20 acres of fertile land, we should also give 3 acres of sacrificial land to the village, and the proceeds of the 3 acres of sacrificial fields will be given to the elderly people who have no support in the village, and also to the children who have nothing to support. Although the sacrificial field was bought by us in three rooms, the name is hung by our grandfather, which can be regarded as our filial piety to give grandpa a little fame and save some blessings. ”
"Good, good! Hello, hello! Hearing this, the expression on Old Man Lou's face was not happy, but it was even deeper than before.
Lou Yuzhu smiled: "Grandpa, we are naturally good." "This is the bottom of the cauldron above board, and the draw is naturally the bottom of the old man Lou. If he doesn't want to be drowned by spittle, he can only bear these three acres of sacrificial land, and he must be grateful for the friendship of the three rooms! As for the rest? Hehe, who doesn't know the face of the old houseman? It is the name of the old man who hangs up, but it is his third room that can be paid, who dares to say more, he needs to weigh and weigh whether his face is thick enough! "Uncle Li Zheng has already inquired, and he will notify the people in the village when he buys it, and he should call his grandfather to say a few words when the time comes."
Lou Hua saw that the old man Lou's face was really not good-looking, so he hurriedly gave Lou Yuzhu a look to make him restrain himself, and then said to himself: "If grandpa is fine, we will go back first, and he will come to see grandpa in the future." After that, he pulled Lou Chengyi and left, and Lou Yuzhu hurriedly followed.
Out of the range of the old mansion and didn't hear the noise behind her, Lou Yuzhu thought to herself that the two old people were still very good, so they didn't get dizzy!
After returning home to drink saliva, Lou Yuzhu took Lou Chengyi to the town. I paid a deposit for the ox cart pattern first, and then went to the livestock market to see if there was a suitable one, and I happened to meet Uncle Zhang, who also came to see the cattle.
"Grandpa. Uncle. Lou Yuzhu smiled and leaned in.
Lou Chengyi was also busy stepping forward to greet him.
Old Man Zhang looked at the father and son with a smile: "Chengyi also came to see the cow?" Seeing Lou Chengyi nodded, he said with a smile: "I've been here for a while, I'm optimistic about the two ends, you go with me to take a look, and if you think it's suitable, you can buy it together." He had long wanted to recommend Sanfang to buy a cow, but unfortunately there was no place to put it, so the matter has been delayed. Now the new house has built a backyard and a miscellaneous shed, which can be used as a cowshed when cleaned up.
Taking advantage of the fact that Old Man Zhang pulled Lou Chengyi to see the cow, Lou Yuzhu pulled Uncle Zhang's clothes and avoided a quiet place and whispered: "The old mansion knows about the big red crayfish." ”
Zhang Dazhu was taken aback.
"Uncle, don't panic, the old mansion called our family to go and wanted to go to my business, and my Ah also said that we wanted us to take back the money you earned, and I and my eldest brother pouted back." And I'm afraid that I will be angry, Lou Yuzhu smiled secretly and said again: "I'll tell my uncle, go back and tell your grandfather and them, they don't have a good hand at the old mansion, it is estimated that they will spread the matter, you should be careful, don't be angry if you want to say something ugly, it's not worth it." ”
Seeing that the old mansion didn't take advantage, Uncle Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and thought about it and persuaded: "What's the matter, it's also your own grandfather, if it's not too much, Brother Yu still respects it." ”
Respect for the elderly? He might as well go to the begging beggar so that he can listen to two good words, what is the old house, that picture should be for them to be selfish but use morality to kidnap other people's faces, look at it and block their hearts! "Uncle, don't worry, we know it in our hearts."
The uncle and nephew whispered a few words, and the other side also finalized the matter of buying the cow, but the old man Zhang had to pay the cow money together! Lou Chengyi insisted on refusing again, and the two of them were arguing, and they didn't know that they thought the two were quarreling.
Lou Yuzhu listened closer, and persuaded with a smile: "Grandpa, dad, don't fight!" ”
The cow seller also laughed and quipped: "I have sold cattle for so many years, and I have seen that I can't wait to let others pay, and you are so good that I can't wait to pay for each other." Tsk, but it's the first time! ”
Uncle Zhang also persuaded after hearing this: "Chengyi, this time you will listen to my father, and we will pay the cow money." ”
Before Lou Chengyi could speak, Lou Yuzhu stopped the old man Zhang and said, "Cheng, the elder doesn't dare to resign." We will collect this cow, but the ox cart will be beaten by us, and grandpa should not shirk when the time comes! ”
When Old Man Zhang heard this, he simply convinced Lou Yuzhu. I quickly calculated that a cow would cost thirteen taels, and the ox cart would be on top of the sky for five days, and I agreed to agree if it was still three rooms that took advantage of eight taels. "Cheng, you come to fight the ox cart." It's just that he doesn't know that the ox cart of Sanfang is not an ordinary person's ox cart, with a dismantling canopy and other accessories, the cost is not less than ten taels!
Of course, Lou Yuzhu won't say anything about this. After leading the cow and parting ways with Mr. Zhang, Lou Yuzhu went to the ox cart to order one, and then went to Renyazi to buy someone who was really not suitable, so he could only pay a deposit of two taels of silver and promised to come and see it in a few days, and then drove the newly bought cattle back to Yanjia Village.
Acquaintances along the way saw it, and they all ran up to praise rarely. Lou Chengyi smiled and agreed, but as soon as he said that he was busy with cattle farming, he just touched his head and smirked and didn't agree.
Lou Yuzhu smiled, the secret path has been imperceptibly for so long, and finally has grown a snack. can say in front of people that they want to take advantage of borrowing cattle, and those who have a good relationship with Sanfang will take care of Sanfang and will not say borrowing cattle in front of others!
After coping with all the way and finally getting home, Lou Hua led Lou Ming to pile up fresh straw stalks in the miscellaneous shed in the backyard, and drove the cattle into the cowshed.
Looking at the cow eating fresh straw, Lou Ming looked at Lou Yuzhu with sparkling eyes.
Lou Yuzhu held her forehead and raised her chin at Lou Hua: "Big brother, do you have any news about the dog?" ”
Lou Hua nodded: "I heard that Grandpa Gui's family has a litter, but I didn't hear that he was going to be raised." ”
"We've heard about lunch, let's try it."
"Done."
Lou Ming didn't look at Lou Yuzhu anymore, and turned around to look at the kennel he had prepared.
Lou Yuzhu was angry and funny, and finally had to give Lou Ming a hard look at Lou Ming, who was squatting in front of the bamboo basket.
After lunch, under the urging of Lou Ming's eyes, Yuzhu asked Lou Hua to bring a piece of meat to Grandpa Gui's house. Grandpa Gui's surname is Ma, and his name is Ma Gui, who is a native of the village, and a family of seven or eight people has no industry, so the life is hard, not to say that it is the poorest family in the village, but it is also the countdown, but fortunately, the family is optimistic, and the days go on.
"Grandpa Gui," Lou Ming is still far away, and he is about to run.
The frightened Lou Yuzhu pulled someone: "Second brother doesn't want to die?" Grandpa Gui's female dog has only been giving birth to cubs for a short time, and it is the time of murder, so it is strange that you are so eager to run away without biting! ”
Lou Ming was embarrassed to stick out his tongue: "I'm in a hurry~"
Lou Hua pulled Lou Ming's hand and scared him: "If the second brother is disobedient, the dog cub won't hug him!" ”
This trick was the most useful for Lou Ming, so frightened that he immediately covered his mouth and was not even afraid to speak, he only begged Lou Hua with his eyes.
Hearing the voice, an old man in his sixties walked out with his back bent, and when he saw that it was Lou Hua, he greeted him with a smile and shouted: "It's you, come and sit." As he spoke, he beckoned his wife to serve tea.
The previous business of instigating snails made the people of Yanjia Village add a pen to the input, and they all remember that the three rooms are good, although they do not earn as much, but they can always add some meat to the family to relieve their cravings or something, it is better than nothing. One of them is Grandpa Gui's house.
As soon as she heard that she was going to serve tea, Lou Yuzhu hurriedly waved her hand: "Grandpa Gui, don't be busy, we'll sit down soon." I just heard that your female dog has a litter, and we want to ask if we can hold two. ”
Grandpa Gui smiled on his face: "I was also looking for your father to ask, your newly built house is far away from the village, and there are no neighbors nearby who can't take care of anything, so why not raise two dogs." Take good care of it, it can be of great use! "The dog has always been a loyal companion to protect the house, and the cat is not good at catching mice, but it is several streets away from the cat on top of it.
Lou Ming's eyes lit up, and Lou Yuzhu didn't beat around the bush. "Then it's going to trouble Grandpa Gui."
"No trouble, no trouble." As he spoke, he took out three small milk dogs to the miscellaneous house, and the female dog followed behind, as if she knew that she was going to be separated from her children, and her eyes were only staring at the three puppies in a daze but she didn't bark. "There are only three in this litter, and they are ready to be weaned, so you can pick two."
"What are you going to do with another Grandpa Gui?"
"My female dog is an old dog, and the puppies in previous years were taken away and I didn't keep one, and this year I plan to keep one for it as a memory."
The poor family is too late to take care of themselves, but they still want to leave a cub for their old dog, which shows the character of Grandpa Gui's family. Looking at the cracked earthen houses, Lou Yuzhu shook her head in her heart. It's all poor!
Lou Ming had already seen it, pointing to a yellow dog with white spots on his back and a puppy with white feet and a black body in front of him, and said to Lou Hua: "Big brother, how about picking these two?" ”
Lou Hua looked at it and nodded: "Listen to you." ”
Lou Yuzhu also smiled: "Then Grandpa Gui, we want these two." ”
The old man looked at it, and hesitation flashed on his face: "These two are not as big as the other, I recommend you to pick another earthy yellow one and this black one, so that you can feed it." ”
"It's okay," Lou Yuzhu shook her head: "Look at it, it's just a little smaller, and it should be no problem to raise a little better." It's bothering Grandpa Gui, so we'll pick these two. ”
Seeing that the elder brother insisted, the old man had to cling to them, and touched the female dog gratefully: "Let's go, we will send your child to the new master's house." Don't be reluctant, your child will definitely live better than with us! ”
The seemed to understand, and snuggled up to the old man without barking or making trouble.
Lou Hua sent the meat in his hand: "Grandpa Gui, don't dislike it." ”
The old man hurriedly excused himself: "This can't be helped!" I can't help it! ”
After pushing for a long time, Lou Yuzhu said 'If you don't accept it, you won't hold the puppies', so that the old man had to accept the meat. After that, the two little milk dogs officially moved in, and Lou Ming was rare, if Lou Hua hadn't twisted his ears and carried him back to the room that night, he would almost have to sleep with the dogs. Even so, when he got up early the next morning, he didn't wash his face or rinse his mouth, and ran to see the dog cub first, Lou Yuzhu couldn't look at it and pulled people to wash his face and rinse his mouth, and after breakfast, he urged him to change into new clothes, and when he went out, he saw that Lou Ming was still reluctant to look at the miscellaneous room, and Lou Yuzhu was not angry and rolled his eyes.
"Second brother misses Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei so much, then stay at home with the dog, and don't take you to Young Master Pei's house in the town." There is an important event today, and Lou Ming is so embarrassed when he doesn't get it.
"I'll go~~"
In the end, Lou Ming still followed him to the town, dressed in new clothes, and was led by Lou Hua and followed Lou Chengyi into the dizzying exquisite mansion. Lou Ming, who feels that his house is big enough, knows what a real big house is!
