Soon it was time for the five-day market, and the brothers rushed to Yishan Academy with the palm leaf grasshoppers that had been braided a day earlier, and the scholars who had been waiting there greeted them.

"You're here!"

Lou Yuzhu's eyes lit up, and she recognized that it was the fat boy who covered the round palm leaf grasshopper last time. "I'm sorry for this big brother, it took us a while to travel far away, so I'll keep you waiting!"

The scholar waved his hand to signal that the fat young master was in a hurry, and it was not good to gossip. "How many grasshoppers do you have this time? My young master is round. ”

Lou Hua Lou Ming's face was happy, and Lou Yuzhu took out the cloth bag. "The adults in the family felt that it was easy to sell, so they made up a few more, a total of nineteen grasshoppers,"

I was a little hesitant when I heard that nineteen scholars, seven or eight rounds are not a problem, isn't these nineteen a bit much?

Lou Yuzhu pretended not to notice, lowered her head and took out the grasshopper in the cloth bag. "This time we made up the big and the small, do you think the two big and the three small together are a family of five? Or four big and two small, with grandpa and daddy and younger brother, a family of six is the happiest. ”

Comparing the number of grasshoppers with the number of writers, this kind of sales method attached to the bundled value is too far-fetched, and Lou Yuzhu is also beating the drum in her heart, and she is not sure whether the fat boy will buy it.

When the scholar went out, the fat boy gave money, and it was no problem to buy nineteen brown grasshoppers, but he was afraid that he would buy too much and go back to his young master to blame.

"If this eldest brother is not sure of his idea, why don't you go back and ask the little master? As long as it doesn't exceed the tea time, we will wait here, and we will never sell it to others. ”

The hesitant scholar's eyes lit up. "Really?" Seeing that the brother nodded firmly, he dropped the sentence: "Then I'll go back and ask." Then he turned around and ran.

Seeing people running away, Lou Hua showed his worries. "Brother Yu'er, what if he doesn't come back? Don't delay us in selling grasshoppers? ”

"Can't delay. If he doesn't come, it's only tea time, and there are always elementary school students passing by to go to college; He came, and the grasshoppers can save us a lot of trouble, even if we don't make a round, we can buy seven or eight dollars. We can't miss such big customers because we have to wait for this tea time, 'small loss of big' is a big taboo in business. Lou Yuzhu narrowed. It's definitely coming, the difference is how much to buy, and judging from the behavior of the fat boy, this thing doesn't have to worry about selling. At least not for now.

Before the tea time, the scholar ran from the other end quickly, and saw that the brothers and the others were relieved and relieved at the same time, and their hearts tightened, and they didn't wait for their breath to split their heads and asked, "The grasshoppers are still there, right?" ”

Lou Yuzhu smiled and nodded. "This big brother is not in a hurry, the tea time has not yet passed."

The scholar exhaled a long breath and touched his head embarrassedly. "After I went back, my young master scolded me, for fear that your grasshopper would be sold by others. It's okay, it's okay, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to pay the difference. "Counting nineteen pennies." Nineteen cents. ”

Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, Lou Yuzhu smiled and stuffed four cents to the scholar, and smiled at the scholar. "Thank you for the kind words of this big brother, the little master will remember us. It's also hard for this big brother to make so many trips early in the morning. ”

The boy touched the back of his head, feeling a little embarrassed. He is thirteen years old this year, and he is the age of marriage in the Zhuang family, and he already has a vague concept of the difference between a brother and a boy. "No thanks. If my young master still wants this grasshopper, I will come to you again in the next episode. ”

"Okay." Lou Yuzhu was waiting for this sentence. "We're still here in the next episode, and if the big brother hasn't come at this time, we'll sell others."

"Done!"

Seeing the scholar run away, the three of them hid in the corner and ate a meat bun as usual. Compared with the first gobbling, Lou Yuzhu is already much more gentle. In the past few days, the brothers have been fishing and selling in the town, one trip in the morning and one trip in the afternoon, sometimes two and sometimes three when one is good, and the average income is thirty dollars a day, and Lou Yuzhu has money in his hand, so he will take Lou Hua to buy some food to improve the live food of the brothers. For example, the six eggs I bought with Liu Ah Mo when I first sold fish were boiled and eaten by my brothers in bamboo tubes on the Tibetan Mountain for two days.

After Lou Ming ate a meat bun and licked the meat scraps on his fingers, he felt that he could eat another one, but he was an obedient good boy and would not ask for it again.

Lou Hua touched the twelve coins hidden in his pocket, and hesitated: "Do you want to buy two for Daddy and Daddy?" "I have saved no less than 180 yuan for selling fish brothers for a few days in a row, which is a lot of money for the Zhuang family, let alone for the three children.

If you have money, you love your family, don't pick the door, Lou Yuzhu likes Lou Hua's character. "Buy it, but the second brother has to watch them rinse after eating."

"yes, I know."

Two meat buns, Lou Hua persuaded Lou Chengyi's husband to eat them under the pretext of picking up some mountain mushrooms and selling them, and rinsed his mouth several times, but he didn't want to go home or was scolded by Liu Ah.

"Say! Did you secretly take money to buy food when you came back so late?! ”

Without any evidence, if you are in a bad mood, you can turn the sky and scold people, Liu Ah Mo just looks at Sanfang unpleasantly.

It is true that the meat buns were eaten, but not from the money from selling vegetables. Lou Chengyi is an honest man, the flicker in his eyes was seen by Liu Ah, and he immediately gasped, and his anger exploded! His eyes were stained with poison, staring at Lou Chengyi and Fu Linshu, and when he opened his mouth, he cursed. "Okay, you Lou Chengyi is an unfilial son, since you really steal money from the public to buy food?! Eat a rotten belly and pierce the intestines, you bad embryo and a black-hearted person, say! How much money was stolen?! What did you buy?! ”

Lou Yuzhu was not afraid of making a big fuss, looked at Lou Hua and stood next to the two husbands.

"Ah, Daddy and Daddy have been greedy for vegetables for so many years, when did they be greedy for money in the public school?" Lou Yuzhu squeezed out two tears. The money to buy the meat bun is indeed not from the public, and he refuted it with confidence!

Lou Hua answered. "Ah, how many vegetables are planted in the vegetable garden at home, how many vegetables are collected in each place, Ah Mo is clear, whether he steals or not, Ah Mo counts the money, it is clear."

Lou Ming received Lou Yuzhu's instructions, and hugged Lou Chengyi's leg is a big howl. "My dad didn't steal the money, he didn't steal!"

At this time, it was time to go to work after breakfast, and the neighbors immediately leaned over when they heard the sound. This building has been so noisy for three or five days, tsk, it's really exciting! Listen carefully, there's no shortage of topics to talk about tonight!

"Didn't steal what he didn't have?!"

"My dad is not weak-hearted, he is sad." Lou Yuzhu opened her throat to ensure that people outside could hear it. "My father and my father worked hard to take care of the vegetable garden, and the rooster got up to pick vegetables, and rushed to the town before dawn for the sake of freshness, and I didn't dare to hide my secrets without saying anything! When the fields were not busy, the second uncle rested at home, and my father went out to help, and the daily salary of 30 yuan plus half of the reward given by the master's family was handed over. I can taste some meat during the New Year at the end of the year, and my fifth brother is reluctant to eat an egg when he feeds the chickens for a year, and all of it is left to the public middle school! ”

The Lou family fed thirteen hens and two roosters, even if it was hot, they could pick up three or five eggs every day, but the Lou family had never sold an egg and never seen the dinner table throughout the year, so where did the eggs go?

Everyone in the Lou family knew it, and Lou Chengyi stupidly believed that Liu Ah Mo would take it to someone else's house and sell it. Most of the eggs were sent to the town Lou Chengzuna, a small part was sent to Lou Yuan Lou Wuna in the next village, and the rest was opened by Lou Ah. Ji Xiaorong can eat from time to time, but the hardest Sanfang is not one, in the first few years, this kind of behavior of opening a small stove Liu Ah Mo still covered it up, in the past few years, he probably knew that Sanfang didn't dare to fart and become more presumptuous, so when he saw it, he scolded people directly, and he didn't even solve it.

Eavesdropping outside the wall exchanged glances. They are all neighbors, who doesn't know what to do in each family, and they all say that the live food of the Lou family is good and eats eggs every three or five days.

Eavesdropping is not whispering.

"This eccentricity is biased to the throat,"

"Isn't it, the daughter-in-law of the big house and the second room don't need to work in the fields, and the only third room is busy from dawn to dark. Although our Zhuang family is not so poor and exquisite, isn't this comparison a big difference? ”

"It's just that I haven't had a good word from morning to night, and I have to serve this family when I come back, tsk,"

"Forget about the big one, after all, the thing is there, but what about this small one? Look at it, the big room and the second room are white and fat, look at the little face is ruddy, just these three rooms are skinny and sallow, this is a dinner table? I don't even believe it! ”

"Don't believe it, the old man in charge of the house said that if you can do it in the third room, you will work harder, and when the big house earns a future, it will definitely compensate for the third room!"

"Yo, the old man pooled money for his eldest son's scientific expedition, that's what he told San'er, right? But look at what the third room looks like now? Now I am also saying to the juniors in the third room, tsk, this is going to pit the third room to the end~"

"Isn't it, as far as the big house is done now, do you believe that the big house will bring the third room after the exam?"

"You believe it?"

"Faith is a ghost!"

What everyone with a discerning eye knows, the old man Lou can still say that he is so frightened, and his thick skin is enough.
