Chapter 29: Venting
Buying back the pen and paper, Lou Hua cautiously put the notebook on the table, dotted the black ink with the brush that had melted in warm water, tightened his waist and abdomen, straightened his head, and held the pen shaft with the method taught by Daddy to let the tip of the pen stop on the paper. Because of the tension, the tip of the pen is a little shaky, making the already unsightly words more like caterpillars crawling.
Lou Ming was next to him holding his breath and watching, his little face was full of envy, awe, nervousness, and expectation. Like that pilgrimage watching the Buddha incarnate.
At Fu Linshu's request, Lou Hua wrote as much detail as possible, and asked Fu Linshu if he didn't know the words, and he really made the accounts for the past two days.
Lou Yuzhu took a look, and said that it was better to say that it was an account book than to write a few words on the white book, or traditional Chinese characters written vertically, no format and no specifications, and the words were ugly like caterpillars, and they couldn't take it! But such a white book that was disliked by Lou Yuzhu to death came to the hands of Lou Chengyi and Zhang Dazhu, but it was as cautious as a priceless treasure, and he didn't dare to touch his fingers when he held it in his hand, and only looked at it with one eye.
Xu Sele looked at it and patted Fu Lin's hand: "Teaching children to read and write is the right thing, in a few days, I will take two copies of Zhang Heng's brother's calligraphy on weekdays to let Da Lang practice more." ”
"Daddy, don't, the expensive thing in the copybook,"
Xu Se glared at him: "What is expensive or not, it is a waste to collect the moldy things that are meant to be used." ”
Fu Linshu was still about to resign, and Lou Yuzhu leaned up: "I'm still worried about the ugliness of my eldest brother's words, but it just so happened that I thought of a way." Raised his hand and pinched Fu Linshu's hand: "By the way, the second cousin and the fourth cousin have that good article at home?" If you have, you can bring a little bit of it. ”
"There are a lot of things at home, so I'll send them with that note another day." Brother Xu Se was only happy in his heart, but he was not a little displeased, and he touched Lou Yuzhu happily as he spoke: "Our brother Yu is getting more and more handsome, and when he grows up, the threshold may not be broken by many people!" ”
Lou Yuzhu was embarrassed. Please, thank you.
Xu Se was amused by the expression on Lou Yuzhu's face at the moment. "Ouch, our jade brother is shy?"
"I'm going to add tea."
Lou Yuzhu's appearance made Zhang Dazhu laugh, and he didn't look good at his own daddy's eyes: "Brother Yu is still young, what does Daddy say about this?" Look at the shame of our jade brother. ”
"What's early, let me tell you that this brother grows up quickly, and he is handsome and beautiful in a few blinks of an eye," Speaking of this, Xu Se approached Fu Linshu and whispered: "You have to watch the marriage of the three children, and you must not let the people over there interfere in the old mansion." ”
Fu Linshu said he knew. In the past, there was no way to divide the family, but now that the old house is divided, it is impossible to interfere!
Seeing that Fu Linshu knew, Xu Se was relieved, and this reassurance reminded him of something else. "Ouch, look at my old fool patronizing and chatting, but I can get down to business!" Slap your thigh and get up to fetch the bamboo Lou you brought. "There are two catties of fresh fruits here, a catty of dried longan and half a catty of brown sugar, all for you to replenish your body," he said, and took out two cages of eggs, and put the cage that was almost impossible to fit together with the brown sugar fresh fruit. "There are thirty-six eggs here, all from my own chickens, and I'll bring them when I'm done." beckoned Lou Yuzhu to put away the things, got up and carried another small cage. "I'll send this small cage to the old mansion, I haven't been to the door for several years, so I'm just going to take a look."
Lou Yuzhu frowned, seeing that Xu Se was a kind person, don't be bullied when she touches Liu A. Thinking so in his heart, Lou Yuzhu also said so, and immediately hugged Xu Sele for a while, and nodded Lou Yuzhu's nose and smiled: "My good brother, don't underestimate you, I didn't care about Liu Qingmei's old goods before, because you all live under them, even if you win, it will be temporary, and it will be yours who will suffer in the end." Now I'm not afraid, I can't help the old guy if I divide the family! Look at my good brother! Saying that, with a cage in one hand, and a cage in the other, Lou Mingxiong was entangled and went to the old mansion with high spirits.
Lou Yuzhu was stunned, from a super sissy to a queen in a second, he said that he couldn't adapt.
Xu Se led Lou Ming to the old house, and saw people all the way stop and greet him with a smile regardless of whether they knew him or not, the older one greeted the eldest brother, and the younger one greeted his uncle. When he entered the door of the old house, he was also a smiling face, and the two words of the in-laws did not leave their mouths, and they did not leave the Lou family's two elders to treat Fu Linshu how well, how generous the Lou family and the two old people, and how good the people around the Lou family were, anyway, he praised the old mansion up and down, and wiped his tears after praising and said how slow and stupid Fu Linshu was, but as long as there was a daughter-in-law in the second room of the Lou family, she couldn't fall to this point today, and the old man's face changed at that time, but he couldn't do it, because Liu Ah Mo really thought Xu Se was praising him.
After saying this, the old man Lou's face turned red, and Xu Se gave up and said goodbye. On the way back, someone asked Xu Se why he didn't stay at his in-laws' house, Xu Se first smiled and greeted, then put away his expression, and sighed: "His uncle also knows my brother's situation, this is not ten days and a half months, you can't get out of bed, the three little ones are still small and skinny, and the stove is not high enough, the head of the house is a man, and he can't be busy with things outside, how can he take care of the family?" Thinking of my three good grandsons eating the leftovers of cold vegetables, my heart is like a worm bite, how can I still have the heart to keep the food, but I have to go back to make that meal quickly. After speaking, he took Lou Ming and went back to the house at the end of the village.
Lou Yuzhu stared at Lou Mingxue and listened to Xu Se talk about this way, and deeply felt that Xu Se, who was born in Zhuanghu, was an evil scheming! First of all, he smiled on his face and greeted others, leaving an excellent impression on others, and said that he came to visit his in-laws and brought eggs to show that he was a polite and courteous person. As soon as his expression ended, he said that he felt sorry for his grandson, but secretly didn't he mean that he, the grandfather, knew that he was distressed about his grandson eating cold leftovers, but what about the old man Lou and Liu A? The three little ones are their own grandchildren, and the one lying on the bed is still pregnant with one in his belly, not to mention taking care of it, sending a hot meal and hot dish assembly, right? But look at the old house, it's been a day since I moved, I haven't stepped on the door and asked what is missing, what is short, this is pro? The third child won't be picked up, right? There is a sincere society to suspect that it is not that Xu Se does not leave a meal, but that the old house does not leave anyone to eat at all, after all, the door is carried back with eggs but empty-handed, the Zhuang family pays attention to a courtesy, this in-law sent eggs, the meal is not left to prepare a return gift of time is always there, right?
This is all a small ploy, and the consequences are nothing more than a few days of discussion, for the scoundrel, I am afraid it is not painful, but the old man Lou is so face-heavy, Lou Yuzhu can imagine how ugly the old man Lou's face will be after hearing the rumors in the village. Indeed, a few days later, when the old man Lou heard the discussion in the village, his eyes turned black with anger, and he scolded Liu Ah Mo when he took a breath and went back. Of course, Lou Yuzhu didn't know about this, but if she knew, she would applaud on the spot, and then give Xu Se a generous gift when she turned around!
"Wai Ah is amazing!" Lou Yuzhu felt something. The old man Lou, who was born in a wealthy man, has always looked down on the Zhang family who was born in the village, but now he has been severely cheated and has not yet waited for the local appeal!
Lou Hua smiled and nodded: "I used to hear that Wai Ah Mo was also a person who couldn't be bullied in the village, but I didn't believe it, but now I believe it!" ”
The brothers were talking in the room, and the couple went into the kitchen to make lunch. Washing the pot and cutting vegetables and stuffing rice, the stakes are several streets away from Lou Chengyi, and the taste made is incomparable, and the belly of the brothers and sisters is round, Lou Ming is even more coquettish with Xu Se and said that he will not let him go back, so he will stay at home to cook and eat, and Xu Se's rare grandson will also return well. Of course, this is just to tease Lou Ming, the Zhang family's house is no less large and small than the Lou family, and it is not possible to lack Xu Se's backbone.
After eating lunch and chatting for a while, Zhang Dazhu wanted to go back to do some work while it was still early.
Lou Yuzhu didn't say anything to keep guests, and Lou Huazhuan took the white noodles in the kitchen, and the white ripple carp and crucian carp picked two of the big ones, and cut half a catty of meat and stuffed the fish cage underneath, loaded it and handed the cage to Zhang Dazhu's hand. "Uncle, pay attention to safety along the way, take a break for a while, don't get tired."
After hesitating, Zhang Dazhu still put the cage on his back, nodded and smiled, and then went out with Xu Se one after another, Lou Chengyi followed behind, and was stopped by Zhang Dazhu a few steps in front of the house. Lou Chengyi had no choice but to turn around, and when he returned to the house, he saw Lou Ming wiping Lou Hua's tears, and his heart was sour. The children are close to the outside because they are good to them, and they are not close to Liu Ah, why are they not usually cold?
"Dad, are they gone?"
Lou Chengyi nodded. "I replied, saying that I would come back in a few days to deliver the copybook."
"Oh, let's clean up that net, and maybe sell some fish before it's too early."
Zhang Dazhu didn't net twenty or thirty catties of fish in one net, Lou Chengyi felt a little disappointed, but Lou Yuzhu felt that it was just right, first, there were too many fish and there was no manpower to pull them up, and secondly, it was not good for the fish market to enter too much at once, of course, there were exceptions like red and white seats.
This time, Lou Yuzhu, who sold fish, followed him to the town, and first found a master to carve a scale for the family, and second, to buy some paper and ink for Lou Hua to practice, and third, he also wanted to see what else he could make a living, not to mention that he really saw something. It's also a kind of aquatic product, but this aquatic product is even waiting for the villagers.
Lou Yuzhu leaned in, and looked at the sharp stone snail lions piled up in the bamboo cage, and their eyes were shining. "Uncle, how do you sell this stone snail lion?"
The snail lion meat is small and muddy and sandy, far less popular than its relative snail, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, and the man who sells the snail lion also touched it to try his luck. Seeing someone asking, the middle-aged man greeted with a smile: "My stone snail lion was only found this morning, it is big and fresh, and it costs two pennies to sell it for three catties." ”
"And how many pounds do you have in total?" Three catties is only two pennies, which means that it is less than one penny and one catty, but it is cheap enough.
"Little brother?" The middle-aged man stammered, and he was afraid that Lou Yuzhu was teasing him. "Where's your family?"
"I can call the shots in my family, and the uncle will tell you how much your stone snail lion is."
At a glance, Lou Yuzhu didn't seem to be teasing him, and the middle-aged man was busy borrowing someone to weigh him. "Forty-six catties with a bamboo cage, my bamboo cage has no water for some years, and if it is six catties, it will be counted as forty catties."
Lou Yuzhu calculated: "Do you want to give Uncle Twenty-Seven Wencheng?" "Forty catties is twenty-seven pounds, but look at the bamboo cage, it doesn't get six catties, so he still takes advantage.
"If you want to buy it, give twenty-five wen."
"Done." Lou Yuzhu turned her head and pulled Lou Chengyi over, paid the money to pour the stone snail lion into her cage, and the business was completed.
Dahan Xindao touched the God of Wealth today, and sold the stone snail lion that no one wanted at a high price of twenty-five Wen, Lou Yuzhu thought that the delicacy of the sauce burst snail lion in his memory was also happy, and automatically filtered Lou Chengyi's worried little eyes, and when he went home, he instructed Lou Chengyi to vacate a broken water tank and put the stone snail lion in it with clean water to raise, Lou Ming got a new task, which was to fish out and throw away the dead one after a while.
There is that stone snail lion Lou Yuzhu is not interested in selling fish, staring at the water change every day, just waiting for the sand in the snail to be spit out and put into the pot. When the mud and sand in the snail lion's stomach were almost spit out, there was finally movement in the old house.
