Lu Zhong was not polite, grabbed a handful of millet and spread it in the palm of his hand, snorted a few with his teeth, heard the subtle sound of the bell, and tried the wheat again, so several times, after checking the grain, he said with a smile: "Brother Wang, your grain is dry, and it is very clean, and the grain store is too bad." ”

Wang Dagui sighed: "There is no way to lose, I originally kept it for my own food, who expected that my mother had a sudden illness, and Dr. Wu couldn't cure it, so I was sent to the city hospital quickly, you know, the city hospital is not cheap, and the cost of diagnosis and medicine is much more expensive than that of Dr. Wu." ”

He said: "To be honest, if your family doesn't buy it, I can only sell it to the grain store cheaply." ”

Lu Zhong asked: "I heard that the third son of the Li family helped his Yue's family collect grain in the village?" Isn't Brother Wang ready to sell him? ”

Wang Dagui nodded, "I can only sell it to him, so much grain freight will also cost some money, and selling it to him can save a few freight, right?" ”

The daughter-in-law of the Wang family said angrily: "Don't mention this kid, I get angry when I mention it, they are all neighbors of the same village, my family is in a hurry to use the money, let him raise the purchase price a little, he actually made that face!" Bah! ”

Wang Dagui is an honest person and persuaded her daughter-in-law, "Don't complain about the third child of the Li family, he just helps the Yue family collect grain, and he can't be the master." ”

The daughter-in-law of the Wang family glanced at Wang Dagui, took Yulan's hand, and said to Yulan's mother and daughter: "We have been neighbors for many years, you know best what kind of person I am, he is the third child of the Li family who has nothing to do with our family in the past, why should I say that he is not?" ”

Yulan knew that although the daughter-in-law of the Wang family was pungent but reasonable, she was not a person who made something out of nothing and chewed the root of her tongue, so she nodded and motioned for the daughter-in-law of the Wang family to continue.

Lu Xiaoyi was also curious about how Li Changsheng offended the Wang family. echoed: "Aunt Wang, you are a well-known reasonable person in our village, and you never talk about the strength of people in private, could it be that kid did something excessive?" ”

The daughter-in-law of the Wang family jumped up, snorted in the direction of the Li family in the east of the village, "My family is forced to sell grain, I want to sell a few more silver dollars, and when I ask him to do it, he actually makes a face." also said that love is not sold. He doesn't depend on my family. Phew! I didn't use a knife to force him to raise the price, did he talk and do things like that? ”

Lu Xiaoyi heard Li Changsheng say such a thing, and gritted his teeth angrily, this bastard. When I first saw him, he was sven. I didn't expect to become such a snob in a few years. Fortunately, the magpie did not marry him, otherwise his intestines would have been repentant.

Yulan also smacked her tongue, "The third lady of the Li family can't speak." ”

The daughter-in-law of the Wang family turned red with anger. "If he says that he can't be the master, we can understand, but he said such hurtful words, it really chills our hearts!"

Wang Dagui waved his hand: "Forget it, don't mention that kid, if you go to someone else's house, you won't be from our Xiaxi Village, let him go!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi said: "Uncle Wang, don't worry, I bought your grain, and the price is calculated according to the selling price of the grain store." ”

Wang Dagui shook his head again and again, "No, no, the grain store sells at a low price and a high price, I don't want to do this pit business, just calculate it according to the price I said!" We are all neighbors of the same village, you help me today, and Uncle Wang will also help you if you have anything in the future. ”

Lu Xiaoyi had a good impression of a sincere person like Wang Dagui, and said with a smile: "Okay, just do what Uncle Wang wants." ”

Wang Dagui was also very happy, called his son to help weigh the grain, Lu Zhong helped carry the grain into the car, and said to Wang Dagui before leaving: "Brother Wang, your family has already sold half of the grain, don't sell it anymore, you need silver to come to me in the future, I also said that, they are all from a village, look up and don't look down, but if you can help, I Lu Zhong will try my best to help you." ”

Wang Dagui nodded, pursed his lips and showed a sincere smile.

Lu Zhong drove the car to Yu's house and helped Xiao Yi move the grain into the granary.

Yulan looked at the plump granary and smiled with satisfaction, "It's okay now, this grain is enough for you and the grain to eat for a year." ”

"Mother, you won't have my dream of begging anymore, will you?"

Yulan glanced at her, "If you don't live your life carefully, you will take that step sooner or later!" ”

"Don't worry, mother, buying grain to eat is not a long-term solution, buying land is the last word, I have discussed it with Brother Liang, Brother Liang is still mainly hunting, and the land is rented to others for farming, and the annual rent is enough for me and Brother Liang to chew."

Lu Zhong agreed: "Okay, if you can think like this, your mother and I will be completely relieved." ”

"Dad, you help me find and find it, it's best to be from our village, or from a neighboring village."

"Okay, you don't have to worry about the fields." Lu Zhong waved his hand, "If the money is not enough, I will add it to you." ”

Lu Xiaoyi said with a smile: "The profit money in the past few years has added a lot to the money you gave me, I want to buy more than ten acres of good land first, and then make plans when I save enough money in the future." ”

Yulan said: "This year's profit has not been given to you yet." ”

Speaking of profits, while Lu Zhong and Yulan were there, Lu Xiaoyi said what he thought in his heart, "Father, mother, there is another thing I have discussed with Brother Liang, from next year onwards, we don't want to make money." ”

He also explained: "The dry food business is a small profit, our family spent a lot of silver to build a house, and my dowry has spent a lot, in the future, Xiaoding's dowry, Xiao Geng will study, Xiao Rui is still young, and there are many places to use silver at home!" ”

Lu Zhong shook his head, Yulan frowned and disagreed, "No, without you and the grain, there would be no dry food business for our family, and the profits must be given." ”

"Brother Liang and I are both diligent people, we can make money and support our families, and our lives will not be bad."

Lu Xiaoyi persuaded again and again, but Lu Zhongyulan still disagreed.

In the end, Lu Xiaoyi took a step back, "Father, mother, is this good, three points of interest is reduced to two points, I only take one point, and the other point is given to Xiao Ding, and Xiao Ding and I can share a few taels of silver as private money in a year, okay?" ”

Lu Zhong thought for a moment and sighed, "Then so be it!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi explained his father and mother, was in a good mood, and took them to visit his small courtyard.

Lu Zhong and Yulan came to the Yu family for the first time after marrying their daughters, and they looked at the Yu family's small courtyard inside and out, and they both nodded with satisfaction.

Yulan boasted: "Well, it's cleaned up well, it's neat and clean, and it's the people who live their lives." ”

Lu Xiaoyi was praised by Yulan and was very proud. Haha laughed and said: "Mother, I am the daughter you taught, and I won't disgrace you." ”

Lu Zhong proposed: "Your yard is too remote, and there is a mountain forest behind the yard, so I am thinking of planting a circle of thorny shrubs on the periphery of the yard, which can prevent both thieves and wild beasts in the mountains." ”

Lu Xiaoyi understood what Lu Zhong meant, that kind of thorny fence wall is like the first layer of defense in the courtyard, and the courtyard wall is like the second layer of defense, so that her small courtyard is more secure.

Yulan agreed with Lu Zhong's proposal. "Listen to your father. On weekdays, the grain hunting is not at home, in case a thief or a wild beast in the mountains comes out, how can you resist a woman's family? ”

Anything that can reassure his parents, Lu Xiaoyi quickly nodded and agreed. And it's not difficult. It's just planting a thorn fence outside the courtyard. She had thought of planting more snakes around the yard to destroy the door. It was planted right together with the thorn fence.

Yulan inspected the vegetable field reclaimed by Xiao Yi again, and said with satisfaction: "This vegetable field has been abandoned for many years, and it has finally returned to its original state. Yes, yes, planting some melons and vegetables next year is enough for the two of you to eat. As she spoke, Magnolia picked up a branch and dug it in the soil, "You haven't sown yet?" ”

"Well, Brother Liang only watered it in the morning, and I'll sprinkle it in the afternoon."

"You can sprinkle it, go and bring the vegetable seeds, and I'll sprinkle them for you."

"Mother, I'll do this little thing myself, you don't have to worry about it, go into the house and sit for a while, I'll make tea for you and my father, and I'll call my younger brothers and sisters in a while, how about having a lunch here with me?" Lu Xiaoyi made good braised dried fish last night, and thought about making some for his parents and younger siblings at noon.

The daughter showed filial piety, and Magnolia couldn't close her mouth with a smile.

Xiao Yi thought that Yulan agreed, but Yulan said, "If you don't eat it, I still have something to do." ”

"What's the matter, I can't delay a meal."

Magnolia sighed, "Your cousin's business." ”

Lu Xiaoyi was puzzled, "What's wrong with my cousin?" ”

Yulan said: "Chunyun has been married for almost two years, and her stomach has not moved, the Yang family has not said anything, but your eldest aunt is in a hurry, she also came on the day you got married, and pulled Chunyun to mutter in the house for a long time, and I don't know what to say to Chunyun, I see that Chunyun is frowning for a while, and rarely smiles on his face." ”

Lu Xiaoyi guessed: "Isn't it the eldest aunt urging my cousin?" ”

"Eighty percent is, your eldest aunt is an acute child, for fear that Chunyun will be infertile and angry in the Yang family, but this child's affairs are not in a hurry, and it is useless for her to urge Chunyun, but to urge Chunyun's heart disease." Magnolia sighed.

"Someone has been in the door for a few years before giving birth, and my cousin has been married for less than two years, and my aunt is too anxious!" Lu Xiaoyi knew that her aunt loved her cousin, but urging her like this was tantamount to increasing her cousin's psychological pressure, and it was not easy to get pregnant when she was under pressure.

"I also persuaded your eldest aunt to do the same, I also compared Jia Wei, who got married in the same year and month, but your eldest aunt has to compare Su Qing, you say, this is drilled into the tip of the horns." Yulan smiled bitterly again: "Your eldest aunt also asked me to go to the Yang family more and help her monitor the Yang family, once the Yang family showed Chunyun's face, she would find an excuse to take Chunyun back to live for a while, you say, what is this called?" ”

"Mother, Brother Zhiwen and cousin are so affectionate, although the eldest aunt is kind, but it's not okay to be so suspicious?"

Magnolia said: "It's not! Your aunt did a stupid thing, and I have to go to deal with the aftermath, no, I invited Chunyun and Zhiwen to come to the house for lunch, and persuaded Chunyun to explore Zhiwen's tone by the way, so ah, your father and I can't eat at your house! ”

Chunyun gave birth to a knot, Lu Xiaoyi also wanted to help her, but her ability was limited, and she could only teach a little knowledge of measuring the ovulation period, although the cause of infertility was very complicated, but the timing was right, and the chance of pregnancy was always great.

Lu Xiaoyi said: "Mother, Brother Liang and I came over to deliver the mountain goods in the afternoon, you let my cousin stay for a while, and I will also persuade her." ”

"I'll cook your two lunches together, and you'll come over when the grain comes back."

"Brother Liang doesn't know when he will come back, you don't have to worry about us."

Yulan nodded, and said to Lu Zhong, who was still patrolling the back of the hospital: "Okay, okay, don't look at it, let the grain come back to check and fill in the gaps." ”

Lu Zhong smiled, brought the ox cart, and drove Yulan down the mountain.

Seeing Lu Zhong and Yulan leave, Lu Xiaoyi returned to the yard and saw two little hens in the yard to eat, Lu Xiaoyi made a feeding action, and made a clucking call with the action, the little hen ran to her feet and waited for feeding, it seemed that the two little hens had been fed, Lu Xiaoyi was very satisfied. No longer tie ropes, but put them in the vast grass outside the courtyard with confidence.

The surplus grain was not harvested much today, only two hares were brought back, Lu Xiaoyi made him a bowl of noodles, and lay two fried yellow eggs on the noodles, "Na, a rabbit will be rewarded with an omelette." ”

Yu Liang smiled and asked, "How do you count pheasants?" ”

"It's the same with pheasants."

"Can our two hens come down?"

"If you can't get down, you owe it first, and when the flock expands, you will make up for it."

Yu Liang nodded, happily eating omelet noodles, and Lu Xiaoyi took the initiative to go through Yu Liang's satchel. Sure enough, a few red fruits were turned out. There are also some fungus and mushrooms.

The fungus is black and bright like a small bowl, and the mushrooms are yellow, yellow, white and white like a small umbrella, Lu Xiaoyi was so happy that he sorted the fungus and mushrooms clean. Then spread out in a dustpan to dry.

The dustpan is placed in the warm autumn sun. Lu Xiaoyi remembered the matter of sprinkling vegetables and seeds. Hurriedly went to the vegetable field and sprinkled it in one go, and then went back to the stove room and sprinkled some plant ash on it, and everything was ready to wait for them to sprout.

The surplus grain is eaten. The two cleaned up and prepared to go down the mountain, Lu Xiaoyi saw that the two little hens were still looking for food in the grass, called the black tiger over, and told it to take care of the hens.

Lu Xiaoyi guessed that Yu Liang would know some Wang Xingyu, and proposed: "Brother Liang, the stupid dog can't understand what I said, you come and tell him." ”

Yu Liang smiled helplessly, shouted the black tiger, and pointed to the two little hens, the stupid dog was very happy, and pounced on the hen twice, and suddenly the chicken flew and the dog jumped.

Lu Xiaoyi jumped to his feet in anger, and the rest of the food also quickly ran over to block the black tiger, and the two little hens were frightened and flew around with their wings.

Lu Xiaoyi hurriedly called the two hens back to the courtyard and fed them with some broken rice.

"Giggle, eat some good crush." The hen was quickly appeased, and Lu Xiaoyi began to reprimand the black tiger, daring to attack her only living dowry, the dog guts are too fat!

Yu Liang smiled and said, "Tomorrow you can try to let it catch rabbits." ”

Lu Xiaoyi threatened: "Silly dog, if you don't catch a rabbit tomorrow, I'll stew you." ”

The black tiger roared, Lu Xiaoyi locked the courtyard door angrily, and went down the mountain with the remaining grain.

The stupid dog was still following behind, Lu Xiaoyi was angry, turned around and yelled at it to go back, the black tiger wagged his tail to please her, and still followed with a dead face.

"Brother Liang, it's really hard for you to take such a stupid dog to hunt every day."

Yu Liang shrugged, "It's okay, at least it never fell into the trap I set." ”

Lu Xiaoyi laughed and said deliberately: "If it is really stupid to that realm, let's release it back to the mountains and forests." ”

Yu Liang shook his head, "Don't let go." ”

Lu Xiaoyi sighed that he had really found the right person, hummed with satisfaction and went back to his parents' house, and walked all the way to the outside of the Lu family's courtyard.

Xiao Rui and Xiao Feng were playing under the camphor tree, just like Xiao Yi and Xiao Ding Xiao Geng, picking up yellow leaves and red leaves to look at the sun.

Lu Xiaoyi shouted twice, and the two glanced at their sister and brother-in-law, who couldn't be more familiar, and stopped talking about each other.

Lu Xiaoyi muttered to the little villain, and entered the door with a big grin, seeing Mrs. Lu holding Xiaowei around the courtyard, Lu Xiaoyi laughed and said, "Grandmother, hug the golden grandson!" ”

Mrs. Lu glanced at her and ignored her.

Yu Liang respectfully called her grandmother, and when Mrs. Lu saw Yu Liang carrying two rabbits, her face was a lot kinder, and she said with a smile: "Ouch, the boy of the Yang family came to pick up two catties of meat, and the grandson-in-law came to pick up two rabbits, both of them are sensible and good children." ”

The surplus grain was given to Mrs. Lu on the spot, "It is appropriate to honor your grandmother." ”

Mrs. Lu didn't accept it, not because she was polite, but because she had other plans, "Just leave it to your mother-in-law, I don't have the time to clean it up, and when your mother-in-law is ready, I'll have a ready-made meal." ”

is obviously a rabbit who sells money, but Mrs. Lu misunderstands it as a gift from surplus grain. Yu Liang was not easy to say, but Lu Xiaoyi didn't care about it, and was about to speak, Yu Liang shook his head at her, Lu Xiaoyi understood, and said to Lu Pozi with a smile: "Grandmother, I will cook myself at night and cook you a fragrant rabbit meat, what's the matter?" ”

Mrs. Lu smiled happily, "Well, remember to burn it soft and point, don't put chili peppers, Xiaorui and Xiaowei can't eat spicy, Xiao Geng has also been on fire these days." ”

"Okay, got it."

Lu Xiaoyi and Yu Liang entered the hall and saw what Lu Zhong and Yang Zhiwen were talking about.

Lu Zhong said with a smile: "The grain is here, and it just so happens that Zhiwen is also there, come and sit and talk." ”

Without waiting for Lu Zhong to explain, Xiao Yi went to the stove room familiarly, and before the people arrived, they heard a burst of women's laughter, and Lu Xiaoyi, the pistachio, joined in, and it became more and more lively. (To be continued.) )
