"Big brother is doing the right thing, we can take this business." If you do it right, you must give affirmation, this is the best way to build confidence, and Lou Yuzhu wants to cultivate Lou Hua in this aspect of confidence.

Lou Hua blushed a little, Lou Chengyi's eyes were blazing, and he was ready to be praised by his brother, but unfortunately Lou Yuzhu didn't praise it, so he turned his head and instructed him to work. "Dad go and break the crucian carp, and I have to build a good earthen stove and wash the newly bought iron pot by the way, everyone is tired today, so I will rest early after dinner."

Lou Chengyi was depressed by the differential treatment of his brother, and went to work.

Lou Hua and Lou Yuzhu looked at each other and slightly bent the corners of their mouths.

The earthen stove had been repaired by the two brothers of the Wei family before, and Lou Chengyi took the corners off the shelf and poured water into the pot to burn the fire. Lou Hua carried the white noodles and other seasonings bought in the town into the kitchen, and Lou Yuzhu followed behind, holding several handfuls of seasonal vegetables in his hands.

"This is the green vegetables sent by Uncle Wei's family, as well as the dry firewood and pine hair that ignited the fire, all of which were sent by Uncle Wei's family, which is enough for us for several days." Lou Yuzhu pretended to be unintentional and said.

Lou Hua also followed: "Yes, Dad, when we went to the town, Uncle Wei also led the two Uncle Wei to help sort out the work around the house, and also sent more than a dozen eggs, saying that after eating, he would send them over to let Daddy make up for his body." ”

"It's not, Uncle Wei's family has a total of six chickens, and they are reluctant to eat so many eggs every day and send them to our family, the icing on the cake is easy to send charcoal in the snow, the so-called gratitude is reported, Dad, when our family situation is better, we must report to Uncle Wei's family." Lou Yuzhu glanced at Lou Chengyi.

The sturdy man was ashamed to be blushed by his brother's glance. Every neighbor knows that the new move has nothing to do, and they send vegetables and firewood to live, and they also know that they help tidy up the house and repair the yard, and they also send eggs to Fu Linshu, who has a miscarriage, to make up for his body, but what about the Lou family? How harsh is it when the family is separated, obviously the dry firewood used at home is all beaten by him, but the old man Lou didn't give a handful, and the vegetables in the vegetable garden are all among his daughter-in-law, but he only said that he would go to the garden to pick them if necessary. Those dozen chickens are usually fed by Lou Ming, but it is difficult to eat an egg all year round, and this miscarriage, is it Liu Ah Mo pushed In fact, Lou Chengyi knows very well in his heart, and he is not the only one who knows that the people in the old mansion know in their hearts, and there is also the matter of saffron, thinking of these Lou Chengyi, the honest man's eyes were sour, and he almost fell into tears.

"Don't worry," Lou Chengyi turned his back and wiped his eyes secretly with his sleeve. "I won't help the old house in the future."

Hearing this, Lou Hua breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to wash the dishes without stopping the work in his hand and said: "Dad, it's not that we don't allow you to help the old mansion, but everything should have a degree, we have to eat and live when we divide the family, and we want to live well, and the saints say that everything is done according to one's ability, and it is stupid to take care of others if you can't take care of yourself." "Even if you are stupid, you have to be stupid and valuable, and if you are stupid to those people in the old house, you will not be good, and I am afraid that you will be scolded stupid by the other party behind your back.

Lou Chengyi, who was humiliated by his son, didn't feel it at all, he only felt guilty, he felt guilty that these children had not lived a good life with him, and he was even more guilty that several children had been sharpened so old and sensible at such a young age. Several children know that they are planning for this family, and he is not enlightened as a father, doesn't it hurt the children's hearts? Wiping his eyes, Lou Chengyi turned around and smiled at Lou Hua: "In the future, if I make a mistake, you will stop me, or you will scold me." ”

Lou Yuzhu raised her eyebrows: "This is what my father said, don't say that we are not filial when the time comes!" "There is so much foreshadowing waiting for Lou Chengyi's statement, it seems that the effect is better than imagined.

"No, definitely not!"

Lou Chengyi's firm stance made the brothers happy, of course, they didn't expect Lou Chengyi to ignore the old mansion in the future, but with this attitude, they can at least grasp most of it in the future, and if they can grasp most of it, it can be said that they can firmly occupy the main position in the contest between the two. It doesn't get any better than that.

While speaking, the father and son made dinner with their hands and feet, Lou Yuzhu lit the fire, Lou Hua started, and Lou Chengyi supported the kitchen. It stands to reason that a man who is the master of the house will not go into the kitchen to work, but Lou Chengyi is an exception, firstly, he beat Liu Ah Mo when he was a child, and secondly, because Fu Linshu is too busy to do too much work. This is also one of the reasons why Liu Ah hates the third room.

The old man Lou is the only son in the family, and the two old people are rich and noble people raised from childhood, and later the family fell into Yanjia Village, the so-called simple into luxury, from luxury to simple, no way to do anything, I don't know how to stretch out my hand, and the family's large and small housework naturally fell to the newly married Liu Ah. Don't look at Liu Ah Mo now without stretching out his hands, but he was really bitter before, the most bitter time was when the eldest child was only two years old, and he was pregnant with another one in his belly, and he had to work in the kitchen for the family's lunch on dog days with a big belly, and he was so busy that he didn't see the old man Lou take a hand. But Lou Chengyi is good, he loves to help his daughter-in-law when he has nothing to do, and he is afraid that Fu Linshu is tired a little bit, and he is not jealous after a long time? Over time, jealousy and hatred can be regarded as a thing of the past.

Of course, this is all an old thing, and the eight people dug it up and told Lou Yuzhu, even if they said it, Lou Yuzhu would probably have to scoff at it. What is the reason why you should have lingering feelings when you have suffered the hardships you have suffered, and instead of thinking about admonishment, you should hate others and impose your own hardships on others?! If everyone is like Liu Amu, then who else in this world dares to be someone's new daughter-in-law? Therefore, based on what Liu Ah Mo is doing now, even if he has suffered a lot before, he is not worthy of sympathy for him!

Without further ado, Chengyi stewed a thick milky soup with the big bones, and gave Fu Linshu a small half bowl of white noodles for the first to eat, and the rest was heated by the stove; After that, the palm-sized crucian carp is braised in oil, and then there is a small stir-fried green vegetables, and the pot of coarse rice is live.

This dinner is vulgar in Lou Yuzhu, but counting the days of the old mansion for half a month, this meal can be described as sumptuous and I don't know how much! At least I saw the oily fish, and the fish, and the most beautiful thing was to replace the dry and unpalatable flatbread! Congratulations!

When the dishes came out of the pot and covered the coarse rice, the last dim light outside the house disappeared, and Lou Ming carefully protected the bean-sized oil lamp and put it on the table to illuminate the family.

After eating, Lou Chengyi automatically took the bowl to clean up, and Lou Hua took the copper coin out to settle the account.

"Four grass carp sold for sixty-seven wen, three carp sold for forty-one wen, four crucian carp sold for only ten wen, a total of one hundred and eighteen wen, and it cost two hundred and ten wen to buy a fish net." Lou Hua frowned: "It's a loss of ninety-two Wen." ”

"This can't be considered a loss, if you want to calculate it like this, you can't count it clearly." Lou Yuzhu smiled: "Let's do this, Brother Ming'er went to the town to buy a blank book and pen and ink to make an account book for the family." Just do two, one in and one out, and we'll calculate it again in January and a half. ”

"Huh? Still spending money on that piece of paper? Let's write it down ourselves, "In Lou Hua's cognition, the Zhuang family does not have the habit of buying pen and paper to keep accounts." You must know how expensive pen and paper are, and buying so much is enough for a meal of meat at home!

"How much can we remember ourselves? The so-called good memory is not as good as a bad pen, and this day should not be so sloppy if it goes on for a long time. Do you say it's Daddy? "What's a meat meal? If Lou Hua can borrow the opportunity to write on pen and paper, it will be worth more than a meal of meat!

Fu Linshu was sitting on the bed sewing Lou Ming's pants, and raised his head when he heard this: "It's better to do it carefully if you want to do the accounts, and take advantage of the time I have to learn the unfamiliar words again." ”

"Hey, that's a good idea. When the time comes, the eldest brother can teach us to do it, which is much better than writing on the sand board! ”

"Really? Can I learn too? Lou Ming was lying on the table, looking at Lou Hua with bright eyes.

Lou Hua thought for a while, and finally nodded. "Of course, I'll go to the town to buy paper and pens tomorrow, and when I learn, I'll teach my second brother."

The matter of buying pen and paper was so decided, and after Lou Chengyi boiled hot water for the family, he turned off the lamp and rested, waiting for the next day.

Before dawn, Lou Chengyi habitually got up, but he was stunned for a while to see this strange place before he woke up, and Fu Linshu also opened his eyes and habitually got up to work.

Lou Chengyi hurriedly stopped: "His father is lying down, you are now pregnant." ”

Fu Linshu was stunned for a moment before he remembered that they had already separated, and even more remembered his situation, so he was too busy to move.

"You continue to lie down, and I'll go to the kitchen and make breakfast." Lou Chengyi took a look at the plank bed, put on his shoes and went to look at the buddy on the plank bed opposite. With the dim light, Lou Hua slept on the outermost, Lou Ming slept in the middle, and Lou Yuzhu was squeezed into the innermost, but fortunately, the brother's body was still napping, and he was not too crowded. Looking at the sleeping appearance of the brothers, Lou Chengyi felt that the fatigue of getting up early was swept away, and he gently pulled the brothers and sisters into the quilt, and then turned around and went to the kitchen to work.

fried flatbread, heated the bone broth, and served noodles to his daughter-in-law in the room.

Fu Linshu took it and put it next to him, and whispered: "Let's put it first, I don't want to eat it yet." "I'm afraid that the sound of eating noodles will wake up the brothers, so Fu Linshu plans to eat it later.

Lou Chengyi, how can he not know that his daughter-in-law is distressed and wants them to sleep more? He also replied in a low voice: "Then I'll put the noodles in the kitchen and heat them, and I'll serve them when I want to eat them." ”

"Okay."

Lou Chengyi brought the noodles back to the stove with the flatbread to warm up, and then went to get busy.

After dawn, Lou Hua first went to the kitchen to serve the hot noodles to Fu Linshu to eat, and then led the two younger brothers to cough and wash their faces, and brought out the flatbread and hot soup to eat, and the sound of Lou Chengyi talking to outsiders sounded outside the house.
