Yanjia Village has mountains, rivers and fields. The mountains are good mountains, the water is good water, and the fields are good fields, but the fish and rice that should be the fish have been facing poverty. It can not be said that the emperor is harsh, in fact, today's saint is still a rare Ming monarch, not extravagant and wasteful, not favored traitorous ministers, and never increased taxes for the reason of nothing, it stands to reason that the people of the Ming Dynasty should be rich, but the bitterness is not beautiful in the sky, more than 10 years ago, a great drought that has not been encountered in a hundred years has crossed the economy of the Ming Dynasty, and the grain in the field is only planted one and the yield is not high, so the farmers can be thankful.

The clothes of those who go out to work are patches and patches, their faces are yellow, their bodies are thin, their bare feet are thick and muddy, and their cocoons are cracked, and their waists cannot be straightened due to frequent overwork. It is even more rare to see mud bricks in the houses, most of which are the kind of adobe bricks with straw poles in the soil where the Lou family lives in four rooms, but in this way, Yanjia Village is still a rich village in ten miles and eight townships in the Ming Dynasty.

Lou Yuzhu retracted her gaze and shook her head secretly, this can be called a rich village, which can be seen what a poor village looks like.

The weather in February was warm and cold, and Lou Hua took his two younger brothers into the mountains and forests to be blown by the wind.

"Brother, brother, there's a fungus there!" Lou Ming's eyes were sharp, and he saw a small piece of mountain fungus behind a longitudinal loose hair.

Lou Hua took the lead and rushed over, and his loose eyes lit up: "It's a red fungus." ”

Lou Yuzhu probed over to look, and the well-informed high-achieving students said that they didn't know, and from the memory of the original body, they turned out the memory that this wild mushroom can be eaten. Wild mountain mushrooms are delicious, and in addition to the farmer's reluctance to eat, this kind of wild treasure that does not cost money has become the best way to satisfy hunger.

"It should be the sun that has risen in the past few days, and these fungi have come out so quickly." In previous years, the mushrooms had not come out at this time, and after a while, the weather was warm and there were many wild mushrooms, and the wild mushrooms in this gentle place did not have their share. "Look around again, there should still be one."

The greedy Lou Ming immediately scanned around like a laser, and really let him find two places, for fear that someone would grab one place, Lou Hua pinched a few trees and picked a few leaves, bent a few times, and finally tied a knot to become a simple cage.

That's how rural kids are*! Lou Yuzhu said that the children in the city were envious.

Picking up the red fungus in the cage, Lou Hua checked it. "You should be able to eat a meal."

Lou Ming was the happiest to hear that he could eat a meal. Lou Yuzhu said that the simple little Zhengtai is easy to coax, you must know that so many people in the Lou family can eat two slices on the table, which is good, and it is not Liu Ah who is eccentric to the throat!

"Second brother, it's still early, let's go up again. You might even find some fungi. ”

Lou Ming's eyes immediately stared at Lou Hua.

Lou Hua couldn't help but smile: "Cheng, then go up again." But just walk a little, we are not afraid of running into tigers. ”

"There are tigers in the mountains?" Lou Yuzhu's eyes lit up. The king of beasts, it's still primitive, it's really rare!

"Yes, I heard from the old people in the village that there was little food in the winter when the mountains were closed, and the tigers even went down the mountain to eat livestock. Now there are fewer people, there are more people in the village, and tigers are afraid of people. ”

Because tigers are much more terrible than people. Throughout the ages, killing people without seeing blood, eating people without spitting out bones, is there still a lot of Zhuang Zhuang? Putting away the vomiting in her heart, Lou Yuzhu settled down and concentrated on looking at the surrounding environment. I don't know what I know, what is valuable and what is not valuable, I combed it and found that there is really no future for development.

There are no good woods, no precious medicinal materials, and no wild game can be beaten by other children, so if you want to get money from the mountains, I am afraid that you have to stop first. The mountain does not turn around, and Lou Yuzhu set her sights on the reservoir where water is stored. In order to prevent the kind of drought more than 10 years ago, the originally small reservoir was enlarged and deepened, and it has not been dried up until now, so there must be a lot of big fish.

Just if you want to fish, you need to use a fishing hook and fishing line, and even if things are small, you have to buy them with money.

When he arrived at the ground, Lou Hua drove his two younger brothers back, and when he saw Lou Yuzhu's brows furrowed, he thought that the other party still wanted to play. "We can't go to the mountains, let's go to Pinggu to play and see if the sweet plums are ripe."

As soon as he heard that there was something to eat, Lou Ming was the first to second.

Sweet plum is a wild snack often eaten by rural children, and the dialect name of each place is different, like the village next door to love to call Dixian Pao. Lou Yuzhu flipped through the memories of the original body, and in contrast, it should be called cranberry or prickly bubble in modern times. "Brother, the sweet plum shouldn't be ripe yet,"

"Not necessarily, maybe it's ripened like a fungus?" Lou Hua also stuffed the cage in his hand to Lou Yuzhu by the way, trying to divert his attention.

Lou Yuzhu, who knew his intentions, couldn't cry or laugh. But when I put my hand on the cage, I had an idea. "Second brother, tomorrow is the town for a fair, right?"

"It should be by the day."

Every day when it comes to the market, the main street in the town is full of people, and the small traders who buy and sell things, and the people who go to the market to buy things, together are shoulder to shoulder, foot and foot, and those who have dense phobia really can't stay.

"Brother Yu wants to go to the town to play?"

"It's not about playing. Didn't the fifth brother want to eat meat buns, I thought of a way to make money to buy meat buns. ”

The word 'meat bun' successfully aroused the attention of Lou Hua and Lou Ming, especially Lou Ming, who could drool under his fantasies.

"What's the method?"

"Follow me."

There are meat buns, and sweet plums are all floating clouds! Turning over the memory of the original body, and stealing two palm leaves in the mountain behind someone else's house, Lou Yuzhu led the two Xiaoyutai to secretly run home and turn out the scissors to cut the leaves into strips, tear off the miscellaneous edges and cut the two ends obliquely, with the memory of the handicraft class in elementary school, stumbling and weaving, and re-weaving several times before successfully weaving a not very perfect grasshopper. Lou Yuzhu is slow and bumpy, and there are several wastes, so that it just gives people the feeling that they are not very skilled.

"Second brother, do you think this thing is sold on the market, how about two pennies?" The people in the town are quite wealthy, and they may not give up a penny to buy a novel toy for their children. "I saw that a merchant who came to the village to collect things made up this thing before, and I don't know if it will be successful." Children must like it, just look at Lou Ming's expression, I just don't know if anyone in the town is willing to spend money to buy it.

"It's time to try." Lou Huajue's thing can be done, after all, no one should have seen this novel object.

Some people supported Lou Yuzhu's immediate rise. "Then let's pick some palm leaves and weave more while the morning is dawning."

Lou Hua nodded. "It's just, will it wilt tomorrow if it's made up now?"

"No, the dew is heavy at night, and we hide in the forest to make sure it is fresh the next day." While talking, the three of them slipped out of the house, and Lou Jinzhu and Lou Yinzhu, who were beating pigweed, just came back.

"Second brother." Lou Jinzhu opened his mouth to shout, but Lou Yinzhu was reluctant to be blinded by Lou Jinzhu, so he reluctantly shouted.

"Second brother. Fifth brother. "Lou Yinzhu is half a year younger than Lou Ming.

"Hmm." Lou Hua glanced at Yingsheng. Lou Ming puffed out his cheeks and said 'um'.

The three generations of the Lou family, Da Lang is the Lou Wen from the big house, followed by the three-room Lou Hua, the second room Sanlang Lou Yuan and the Shilang Lou Wu, the third room Wulang Lou Ming, the elder brothers, the largest is Lou Mingzhu, followed by the big house Lou Jinzhu and Lou Yinzhu, Lou Yuzhu is in the third room, and it is also the smallest brother.

In the Great Yuan Dynasty, the boy and the elder brother are separated from the generation, and Lou Hua is smaller than Lou Mingzhu but is ranked second, as for the elder brother, he is generally not called by generation, and the name of the elder and the elder falls after the word 'brother', and the junior is the name in front of the word 'brother'.

"Brother Kim."

"Brother Kim. Brother Yin. Compared with Lou Ming's reluctance, Lou Yuzhu shouted in addition to embarrassment. Do you dare to call starlings?!

"The fifth brother and Brother Yu have just recovered from a serious illness, and the second brother is better to take them out less, but you can't just play and ignore your body." Lou Jinzhu opened his mouth softly, with a delicate face that was very similar to Xu Chunting, and he looked gentle and generous.

Lou Yuzhu, who has a gentle attitude and listens to the meaning of the words, straightens her teeth, what does it mean to just play and ignore her body? This ability to hide needles in the cotton really learned from Xu Chunting! From the memory of the original body, he understood Xu Chunting's posture as the eldest daughter-in-law, and ignored the family affairs in the name of embroidery, and secretly used Ji Xiaorong as a gunman! Lou Jinzhu learned a lot of skills from his father, and supporting the juniors in the second room to bully the third room is one of them!

Lou Yuzhu squinted: "Brother Jin, Brother Yin, this is coming back from hunting pigweed?" Is the portion size tender or not? Not tender enough, pigs don't eat well, but they don't grow fat. By the way, after beating the pigweed, I have to sweep down the pigsty and chicken pen," swept around: "The yard still has to be swept, the vegetable garden has to be watered, and the pine feathers that cause fire at home are gone, and the pine forest behind is not to be beaten by Uncle Li's family, and if you want to beat the pine hair, you have to go to the front village." ”

Lou Yinzhu trembled angrily, if it weren't for Lou Jinzhu pulling, he would have been able to rush up and fight hard!

A year ago, Xu Chunting asked Liu Ah to exempt the miscellaneous matters of gold beads and silver beads in the name of teaching embroidery, and allowed the second room Lou Yuan Lou Wu to go to the town to study, which blocked the mouth of the second room, and then most of these miscellaneous things fell on the third room, and Lou Mingzhu only did it.

Jin Zhu pulled the silver bead and asked with a smile: "What else are there besides these?" Brother Yu carefully said what we missed. ”

Hypocrisy! Lou Yuzhu didn't miss the coldness in his eyes. "I remember so much for a while, if Brother Jin doesn't understand, just ask Brother Ming, Brother Ming is just banned enough, but he didn't say anything." At a young age, he played scheming, tsk, it was really crooked. "Second brother, let's go."

Lou Hua nodded and walked out of the door with one hand.

Lou Yinzhu's eyes almost breathed fire. "Brother Jin, you should have let go of me just now, see if I didn't tear that little hoof!"

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan!" Jin Zhu pulled his younger brother: "In a few days, Dad should rest, and Grandpa will not be blamed if Dad comes forward." ”

Speaking of Lou's big house, Lou Chengzu is also a strange thing, as a Xiucai, he holds the money of the official master, teaches in the town and doesn't take a penny of silver, not to mention, from time to time he has to take some silver from Liu Ahma, and he comes back once or twice a month, and he simply treats his home as a hotel. can give birth to such an old man in the freight building, and he is still a pet!

Speaking of this matter, I have to mention the ancestors of the Lou family. The ancestors of the Lou family were rich families in neighboring counties, and they also had a husband, and later the family had to move to Yanjia Village. The old man who has enjoyed the prosperity of the building does not want to be rich and glorious in the past, and he wants to keep up with his ancestors, he knows that he is not a piece of reading material, so he pins his hopes on the next generation. Lou Chengzu was born under the expectations of the old man Lou, and then Lou Chengzu showed his reading talent to make the old man Lou cry with joy, and used the family information on one person, when it was really in his mouth, he was afraid of melting in the palm of his hand for fear of the wind, and when it came to hardship, he would rather eat chaff and gnaw the bark than buy paper and ink for Lou Chengzu! On the day of Lou Chengzu's show, Old Man Lou cried on the spot!

It's a pity that Lou Chengzu stopped at Xiucai! Old man Lou is disappointed for sure, but he can't stand Lou Chengzu gave birth to a good son Lou Wen, the blue is better than the blue, he is already a child at the age of twelve, two years earlier than Lou Chengzu! If the son is not good, there are grandsons, and the big house is always the treasure in the heart of the old man.

No matter how angry Lou Yinzhu was, Lou Hua led his two younger brothers to steal a lot of palm leaves. Palm leaves are worthless, but they can't stand the poverty of the villagers, make the best use of them or use them as palm fans or mats, and they don't have that friendship and want to pick them and wait to twist them in front of their parents to eat a fried meat with bamboo shoots!

It was not safe to make up in the house, so Lou Hua found a secluded place, and Lou Yuzhu made him to learn from him, and Lou Ming started to do it.

Weaving these delicate objects to be ingenious and two to be whimsical, there is a complete weaving method in the mind is not lacking in whimsy, dexterity to the blessing of the body, except for the first two if there are flaws, the back deviation is perfect.

Lou Ming carefully held one in his palm, and the surprise on his face couldn't be hidden.

"I also saw that the merchant made up other styles, but unfortunately I remembered this one at the time." Modern people are accustomed to excellence, small insects are just a small meaning, and the kind of large weaving is called a ghostly workmanship.

Lou Hua's eyes encouraged: "It's already very remarkable to remember one!" ”

Lou Yuzhu grinned, but no, the twenty or so boys in the entire class scored full marks for one of his handicraft classes. The two flawed ones were removed, and the remaining palm leaves were made into eight complete grasshoppers. They wrapped the leaves and hid them in a dewy place, and the servants returned to the courtyard.

It was still early, and the adults were still busy in the fields, Lou Yuzhu looked at the cleaned pigsty and chicken pen, and looked at Lou Hua and couldn't help but purse her lips.

Lou Hua patted him to make him restrict, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. "Let's go, go back to the house."

Taking advantage of the bright light, Lou Hua led the two back to the house, locked the door, and dragged out a chessboard-sized sand table from under the wooden bed. "The practice of the past two days has fallen, and I will make up for it today."

Practicing words? Lou Yuzhu pretended to go to get a handkerchief and turned over the memories of the original body. The brother is indeed secretly learning words with a sand table, and the person who teaches the practice is Fu Linshu!

Reading is a money-burning job, and Fu Lin's book family obviously doesn't have this condition, so how does he know how to read? Lou Yuzhu flipped through the memory of the original body and found that he had also asked, but Fu Linshu didn't want to say that Lou Chengli was also lonely, and the matter of learning characters was secretly carried out in the original body, so he didn't ask.

"Second brother, what words are we learning today?" Lou Ming is obviously enthusiastic about learning characters.

"Today we're going to learn a little poem." Lou Hua took the sharpened branch and drew it on the sand table, and with the rotation of his wrist, a line of traditional Chinese characters appeared.

Even Lou Yuzhu, who guessed that Meng understood the meaning, burst into tears.

Lou Hua stared at the sand table and didn't notice Lou Yuzhu's abnormality, and used a branch to signal one by one. "Bed, front, light, moon, light,"

Suspected of frost on the ground, look up at the bright moon, bow your head and think of your hometown!

Knowing the follow-up, Lou Yuzhu felt the deep malice from the Great Yuan Dynasty!

Can you still have a good time?! Refresh your preschool? Hehe!
