When he arrived at the gate of the village, Lou Ming thought that the ox cart was too slow, so he took Lou Yuzhu and ran to Zhang's house, and before he entered the door, he began to shout: "Grandpa Wai, Erlang has come to see you!" ”

Xu Se greeted him, and when he saw that the two brothers were happy to hug one hand and make out a good time.

"Wai Ahh Lou Yuzhu shouted. "Where's Grandpa? At home? ”

"Here, come, come inside!"

When they entered the house, the family smelled the sound and poked their heads out, and Lou Yuzhu shouted one by one with the memory of his original body. The Zhang family has three rooms, and the brother Zhang Dazhu married in the big house is surnamed An, and he has Zhang Ling, the eldest man of the Zhang family, Zhang Heng, the third lang, and Zhang Chi, the seventh lang; The brother of the Zhao family married by Zhang Dashun in the second room, gave birth to Erlang Zhang Feng, Wulang Zhang Cong, and the only brother of the Zhang family, Zhang Ling; Zhang Daping, the third room, married a brother surnamed Qiao in this village, gave birth to Shilang Zhang Yuan, Liulang Zhang Jing, and now he is pregnant with another one in his belly, and the Zhang family's magic rate is probably Zhang Jiabalang.

"Brother Yu!"

I saw a five-year-old pink and tender cute baby running up, and the small body, the ruddy little face and the well-behaved and cute appearance immediately made Lou Yuzhu cute.

Zhang Ling ran to Lou Yuzhu and pouted, and said strangely: "You can be regarded as coming to see me!" "He is the only brother in the three generations, and he is sad that he has no brother to play with him on weekdays.

Lou Yuzhu immediately felt that the blood was empty, and she pounced on it and rubbed her little face: "Aren't I here!" "The feeling in his hand, Lou Yuzhu felt that he was going to turn into a monster! After rubbing his face, he said to Lou Mingyan: "Second brother, let's let Daddy give birth to a brother and a younger brother!" ”

Before Lou Ming could react, Xu Se laughed.

"Brother Yu, don't say this, your third uncle is already stunned if he wants to have a brother!"

"Daddy!" Hearing this, Qiao Dongxue, the daughter-in-law of the third room, stomped her feet: "Obviously, you are staring at my belly to give birth to a brother, why did you rely on me?" ”

Zhang Ling sighed like an adult: "Alas, why is it so difficult to want a brother and brother~~"

When he went downstairs, he smiled, and took Zhang Ling to comfort: "Brother Ling'er is not in a hurry, the second cousin will take you to play in the future!" ”

Zhang Ling rolled her eyes and Lou Ming: "Every time my second cousin says something good, he forgets me when he turns his head!" As a result, I still promised to do well next time, but then I still forgot, I don't expect my second cousin to take me to play anymore. ”

"Absolutely not this time!" Lou Ming blushed and promised.

"Cheng, believe you again."

Zhang Ling's suspicious appearance amused the family, and even Shichiro, who was younger than him, grinned at the few baby teeth in his mouth.

Looking at this big family, Lou Yuzhu sighed in her heart that the Zhang family is not easy, the income of thirteen acres of land and four acres of vegetable land in her hands has to feed a family of three generations, and she has to provide two students to study, the life can be described as bitter, the house is just a few rooms and several people are squeezed into a mud house, in terms of conditions, it is much poorer than the Lou family, but the Zhang family is full of happiness with everyone on their faces, and the smile is full of happiness, this alone makes Lou Yuzhu feel a lot closer, not to mention that the Zhang family is poor and difficult to protect themselves, and they do not forget to help the three rooms. Thinking of this, my conviction is even stronger!

At noon, the people who were busy in the fields arrived, and after eating at two tables, Lou Yuzhu signaled that she had something to say.

Old man Zhang looked at Lou Yuzhu's serious appearance, and asked the daughter-in-law of the third room to lead the children to avoid, and Lou Yuzhu also instructed Lou Chengyi to go out, so he told the business of the big red crayfish.

"Our family is really too busy with the amount of two hundred catties, so I asked my grandfather to help me do this business. Shrimp nets are ready-made, today we brought sixty of them, as soon as it was dark, my second brother followed the three uncles to go to the net, and then got up again at dawn, and then sent to the town gate to meet our family, and then sent to the Jufu Building together, and after the scale, you can settle the money according to 18 Wen a catty. ”

The three uncles all looked ecstatic when they heard this, but the old man Duzhang twisted his eyebrows and refused.

Lou Ming asked anxiously: "Why?" Doesn't grandpa want to make money?! ”

Lou Yuzhu signaled not to be impatient, and asked Old Man Zhang softly: "Grandpa is afraid that the old mansion has ideas?" ”

Old Man Zhang nodded: "The business of instigating snails is only a few taels of silver, and we will do it." I can listen to the big red crayfish, which makes a lot of silver every day, and I am afraid that there are dozens of taels in a month, and the profit is too big to spread out, I am afraid it will be ugly. ”

To put it bluntly, I am afraid that the three-room family will be difficult to do, after all, Lou Chengyi is the son of the old man Lou, and if he has a business, he does not help the family but helps the Yue family, and the reputation of the three-room will be ruined.

"Grandpa thinks about us wholeheartedly, and we are grateful, but we have to live up to Grandpa's kindness." sighed in my heart at Mr. Zhang's character, and said slowly: "The problem that grandpa is worried about is that my grandson and brother have also thought about it, it's not that I don't respect the old house and don't help my relatives, but the fact forces us to worry about the old house." Grandpa didn't know, just the business of the snail was called, I said clearly and bluntly let us teach the recipe, if it wasn't for me and the eldest brother to resist the death, the recipe is estimated to be unable to save that day. I'm angry that we don't hand over the prescription, and then I opened my mouth to borrow five taels of silver to hand over the bundle to the lobby and we refused, and then I took back the two acres of land and one acre of sand field that I had divided before in front of Lizheng, these are not counted, does my grandfather know that there was another stall selling snails in the town a while ago? The person who came out of the stall is surnamed Ji, and he is the eldest brother of my good second uncle. ”

Xu Se trembled angrily when he heard this: "These shameless old people! ”

Old man Zhang's face is also gloomy, isn't it enough that he was squeezed without a three-room family before? I didn't expect that now I have the idea of three rooms after I have divided my family!

"The instigation of eleven or two taels a month has made the old mansion red like this, and the big red crayfish that has earned a hundred or two dollars a month is going to be known by the old house, grandpa thinks about it, can we still keep this business in the third room? If the world is turned upside down without making a fuss, will the old house live in peace? Seeing that Old Man Zhang didn't answer, he continued: "Our family is now living on these businesses, and we don't have any land in our hands, and the house we live in is fortunate to be barely able to do it in summer, and what about the cool autumn and the cold winter?" My dad is now two months pregnant, and the time of birth happened to be the coldest time at the end of the year, not to mention that the baby can't live in the house we have, and even my dad can't be confined. ”

Speaking of Fu Linshu, Xu Se's eyes turned red when he heard it.

"To put it mildly, the appearance of our three rooms is caused by the old house. Grandpa, but as long as there is a grandfather and a grandfather who are half good to us, we will not propose to split the family, let alone get the current field. "Liu Ah Mo looks at the third room as a relative, and the enemy is not exaggerated.

Old Man Zhang's face was also ugly when he heard this, and when he looked at the three sons with anticipation in his eyes, he glanced at his wife who had white hair but was still worried, and nodded in his heart: "We have done this big red crayfish business." ”

Lou Yuzhu smiled: "Thank you grandfather so much." ”

"Thank you or not, you are helping us, we should thank you." After speaking, Old Man Zhang looked at Lou Yuzhu: "We have done this business, but there are some things to say." ”

"Grandpa, please."

"One, the cost of the shrimp net is ours,"

"Yes, grandpa's family is as much as it gets."

"Two, we only lay sixty nets a day, no matter how many."

Hearing this, Lou Yuzhu smiled, and sighed again in his heart that the character of the old man Zhang could throw off the old man of the building for several streets. "I know my grandfather's intentions, and my grandson will be cheeky to respond."

Old Man Zhang pointed to his three sons and said, "Third, your three uncles take turns to work in your house, do all kinds of work, and don't need to be paid." ”

Seeing that when the farm was busy, each family only thought that there was little strong labor, but Mr. Zhang still assigned a son to work for the third room for free, which was really distressing for the three rooms, and also saw the shortcomings of the three rooms today. Hearing this, Lou Yuzhu's heart was full of gratitude, and she held Old Man Zhang's hand, and her eyes turned red and said, "Listen to grandpa." ”

The matter was negotiated, Lou Ming stayed in Zhang's house that day to teach them to net shrimp, uncle Zhang Dazhu followed Lou Chengyi and his son back to Yanjia Village, and went to the net with Lou Chengyi as soon as it was dark at night, and the shrimp was picked up at dawn the next day, and then Lou Chengyi carried a load to the town. Zhang Dashun and Zhang Daping were waiting at the gate of the town with Lou Zi, and Lou Ming was standing next to him with an oil lamp.

Lou Yuzhu greeted him: "Second uncle, third uncle, second brother." ”

Zhang Dashun and Zhang Daping rubbed their hands and responded nervously. Zhang Dazhu and Lou Chengyi came over with the burden, and Zhang Dazhu asked: "Second brother and third brother, how many shrimps are there at home?" ”

"No scales," Zhang Dashun rubbed his hands nervously: "My father checked it and said that it was more than seventy pounds." "For the sake of the big red crayfish, Mr. Zhang also got up early, and he didn't have a scale at home and started to check it at that time, but Mr. Zhang was used to checking food, and the gap between getting started would not be very big.

Hearing this, Zhang Dazhu was also excited, touched his head and said: "Okay, we have more than 130 catties here, I'm afraid it will be more than 200 catties." ”

Lou Yuzhu looked at the excited look on the faces of the four men, and immediately pursed her lips, and coughed lightly after the music and shouted: "Uncle, second uncle, third uncle, father, let's go to Jufulou to deliver the goods quickly." "He's not just coming here to deliver the goods, there's a place to visit.

Hearing this, the four men immediately picked up the burden and rushed to Jufu Building with the light of the oil lamp. There was already a guy waiting at the side door of Jufu Building, and when he heard the sound, he hurriedly opened the door and shouted: "Brother Lou, you are here!" ”

The business of spicy shrimp is the most favored by the shopkeeper, not only arranging a special person to guard the door every day, but also every time he will be there. Today is no exception, as soon as I hear the voice, I will come out.

"Brother Lou is here?"

"Shopkeeper Jiao is fine!" Lou Yuzhu leaned in, and pointed to Zhang Dazhu and said, "These are my three uncles, and they will follow us to do the big red crayfish business in the future." ”

After dealing with each other for a period of time, Shopkeeper Jiao completely obeyed Lou Yuzhu's little brother, and he didn't doubt it at all at the moment and only smiled: "I don't care about this, as long as Brother Yu'er supplies all my goods." ”

"With the help of three uncles, Shopkeeper Jiao only sells spicy shrimp, and there is absolutely no need to worry about the supply of goods."

"Haha, then I'll throw off my arms and sell it!" Shopkeeper Jiao smiled and beckoned the guy to get on the scale. The Zhang family only has sixty nets, but the results are good, and the net weight of the four Lou Zi adds up to seventy-six catties! According to the calculation of eighteen wen, there are 1,368 wen, which is more than two taels of silver!

Hearing this number, the Zhang family's brother-in-law was stupid. Zhang Dashun took the silver stupidly and didn't react for a long time.

It was Lou Chengyi's turn to say, Lou Yuzhu picked out a small portion of the big red crayfish, pointed to the rest, and said: "Shopkeeper Jiao will call the rest, I will keep these useful." Seeing that the shopkeeper Jiao was puzzled, he smiled and said: "Don't hide it from the shopkeeper Jiao, there is a young master Pei in the east of the town who is kind to my family, and today I plan to visit my father, and these twenty catties of big red crayfish are a thank you gift." ”

Zhendong? Shopkeeper Jiao's heart moved: "But the one who came to Beijing?" ”

Lou Yuzhu hooked her lips and smiled: "Exactly." ”

"That Young Master Pei is not easy to see." The young man surnamed Pei is a noble person who came to Beijing, and everyone in Huya Town knows about it, but unfortunately no one can knock on that door, and even the county Cheng handed over a serious post or ate the closed door.

"Young Master Pei's kindness to our family is like the grace of recreation, and if you don't see it, you have to try it."

"Hehe, then I wish Brother Yu'er what he wants to do." Shopkeeper Jiao smiled, and once again marveled at Lou Yuzhu's old age, and he had an intuition that maybe the gatehouse Yuzhu that the county couldn't knock on could be knocked on. Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Jiao smiled deeply: "Don't leave in a hurry when the money is calculated, it's not too late to visit after breakfast." ”

"Thank you for your kindness."

At that moment, the two looked at each other, and the two big and small foxes smiled meaningfully.
