Lu Shouzeng took out the money bag and asked Lu Xiaoyi to put it, then took off the straw mat baskets at both ends of the flat pole, held the flat pole and shouted "Lu Yong", and then ran over angrily.

It seems that he is determined to clean up his son.

Lu Yong is often shouted by his father on weekdays, and he is very familiar with this 'Lu Yong', his body stiffened, slowly turned his head, looked at the long flat shoulder that was close at hand, 'oops', and staggered away.

Lu Yong was watching the excitement on the periphery, and his appearance of holding his head and running around did not attract the attention of others.

Lu Shouzeng waved the flat pole while pushing it, if it weren't for Lu Yong's dexterity, he would have been seriously injured and fell to the ground, after seven or eight laps, Lu Shouzeng's physical strength was not good, and he was panting with the flat pole, "You stop me, if you dare to run again, it's not my son, don't go back to that home!" From now on, fall in love with wherever you go! I don't have you as an unfilial son! ”

Lu Yong's face was timid, and he stood not far away and begged: "Dad, I didn't gamble, I just watched the excitement, don't be angry, I won't dare next time." ”

Lu Shouzeng continued to chase with a flat shoulder, Lu Yong hid around the big willow tree, and finally alarmed the people who gambled money, some of the gamblers dispersed, and some stayed to watch the excitement, including Zhang Gaoyang, the second eldest of the Zhang family, and Lu Yong's hair was small.

Lu Shouzeng was worried that Zhang Gaoyang would go back to the village and talk nonsense and lose face, so he stopped chasing Lu Yong, snorted coldly, returned to the original place with the flat shoulder, picked up the straw mat and straw basket, and led Lu Xiaoyi away.

The official road was flat and spacious, Lu Xiaoyi followed his grandfather to the side, and the middle road was left to the vehicles and horse teams. These caravans from south to north all wanted to run a few more orders of business before the New Year, and the bells tinkled non-stop along the way, some came in full gear to prepare to leave the customs, and some had already returned and made a lot of money.

Lu Xiaoyi turned around and saw Lu Yong following from afar, and he didn't dare to tell Lu Shouzeng, for fear that he would be angry again, so he picked up the flat shoulder and chased after him.

Lu Shouzeng was angry in his heart, and walked with a large and hurried pace, Lu Xiaoyi really regretted not taking his father's donkey cart, and was completely dragged by his grandfather.

Xiaxi Village to Yifu City 378 miles of road, for Lu Shouzeng, who is accustomed to walking, is nothing, but for short legs Xiaoyi, it is torture, I remember reading a report before, saying that people's ordinary walking speed is 4~7 km/h, walking fast can reach 10 km/h, as for scuds and other fast steps like flyers, can reach 15 km/h is superman.

Lu Xiaoyi is not a superman, she is just an ordinary child among ordinary people, she was led by her grandfather to walk more than 30 miles in a hurry, and when she came home, she lay on the kang and raised her corpse, her arms and calves were sore, as if she had been beaten with a stick, and she couldn't move.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Geng came over with a smile, stretched out their five claws to beat her back and pinch her legs, Lu Xiaoyi couldn't stand it, rolled his eyes and glared at them, "I know I'm afraid of itching!" Did you do it on purpose? ”

Xiao Geng fell on Lu Xiaoyi and said, "Sister, you're back, I miss you so much!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi grabbed his little bun and pulled it away from himself, "I'm tired of it, I'm tired of it, open my mouth to show the eldest sister if she stole candy and ate it." ”

Xiao Ding covered his mouth and smiled, approached Lu Xiaoyi's side affectionately, and told the truth, "Eldest sister, my mother dug a lot of taro in the paddy field today, and said that she would burn taro and chicken at night, and Xiao Geng and I are looking forward to your return!" ”

Taro chicken? Wow, wow, wow! Lu Xiaoyi's stomach also gurgled in response to the occasion.

It's really a few happy and a few sad, the east courtyard of the Lu family eats taro chicken at night, while someone in the west courtyard wants to eat bangbang chicken.

Lu Xiaoyi knew that her uncle's temperament had always been playful, as long as she didn't do anything that hurt her senses, she felt that it didn't matter. But it's hard to say if you're addicted to gambling, and all evil gambling is the first! How many families have been ruined because of gambling.

Lu Xiaoyi was very glad that he found it early, and he also agreed with his grandfather's strong control of the uncle, and while the uncle was not addicted to it, he must completely eradicate the interest in gambling in his heart.

Thinking that Lu Shouzeng's money bag was still in his sleeve pocket, Lu Xiaoyi sat up, and in front of Xiao Ding Xiaogeng, he took out the money bag and poured it on the kang table to count it slowly.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Geng like to count the money the most, especially Xiao Geng, who is most willing to chase the copper coins that roll to the ground, if they roll into the corners, he will pout his ass and reach in and pick it, looking like he is digging three feet into the ground to find it.

A total of two hundred and fifty Wen, Lu Xiaoyi laughed, counted it again, and laughed again, although two hundred and five is not a good number, it becomes beautiful when it comes to money. Lu Xiaoyi counted the third time, and Mei Zizi touched the hard-earned money, and felt that there was nothing happier in the world than this. She also counted the fourteen straw mats and baskets sold, except for the two straw mats that were given away, the income was two hundred and twenty yuan, and it seems that her grandfather went out and brought thirty yuan.

Lu Xiaoyi let Xiao Ding and Xiao Geng finish their eye addiction and hand addiction before carefully putting away the money, "Grandfather will divide the money in a while, and you two will also have a share!" ”

Xiao Ding's eyes widened, and he cheered: "Eldest sister, can I also share the money?" But I didn't do anything! ”

When Xiao Geng heard that there was money to take, he stammered, "Big sister, divide ......"

Lu Xiaoyi hammered his hair bun, "Speak well, stammer, and deduct a penny!" ”

"Eldest sister, how much money do you share with me?" Xiao Geng was immediately cured, and he spoke simply and clearly.

"Wait, I'll give it to my grandfather now, and I'll give it to you later!" Lu Xiaoyi jumped off the kang and went out with his shoes.

Lu Shouzeng was sitting in the hall of the hall, scolding Mrs. Lu with a dark face, "You stupid woman, look at the people you are used to, they are all involved in gambling." I wondered, every day I said that I would go to the city to find a job, but I couldn't get the money back, it turned out that I went to gamble money, if I hadn't seen it today, he would have kept us in the dark! ”

Even if Mrs. Lu was arrogant and indulged in Lu Yong, when she heard the word gambling money, she gritted her teeth with hatred, "This bastard, come back today and see if I don't chop off his hand." ”

Lu Shouzeng sneered: "He has been walking behind me, thinking that I don't know, I am too lazy to deal with him, and I will lose my face by beating him back and forth on the official road." I haven't seen anyone else since I came back for so long, I must have hid in some corner, I asked him to hide, I couldn't hide from the first fifteenth year of junior high school, I don't believe he didn't go back to this home! ”

The old couple was angry, and they didn't notice that Lu Xiaoyi arrived at the door of the hall, Lu Shouzeng saw his granddaughter, his face was kind, and he beckoned to Lu Xiaoyi, "When did you come, don't squeak, come here, come here, sit here with grandfather." ”

Lu Xiaoyi handed him the money bag in his hand, Lu Shouzeng took it with a smile, counted out thirty dollars, and didn't count the rest, handed them all to Lu Xiaoyi, "Take all of them, you have earned them all with your hard work." ”

"Grandfather, the basket and mats are all made by you, and I will be out of my throat, otherwise there will be so many." Lu Xiaoyi said honestly.

"If you want to take it, take it!" Lu Shouzeng pulled Lu Xiao's hand and put the money bag in the palm of her hand, "You also saw your uncle's appearance, and I don't know when he can beat up the ten taels of silver he borrowed from his relatives, so I will put this money there for you, and it will be one point if you can pay it back!" ”

Mrs. Lu's face was anxious, and she wanted to say something, but she was afraid of Lu Shouzeng's coercion, so she had to stare at the money bag.

Lu Xiaoyi clenched the money bag and said with a smile: "Okay, grandfather, I'll take care of it for you, and I'll keep the accounts." ”

Lu Shouzeng smiled and waved his hand, "What kind of accounts will a little person keep an account?" It's good to be able to count clearly, hehe, you're tired for a day, go back early and rest, wait a few days to make up enough numbers, let's go into the city to sell again! ”

Lu Xiaoyi nodded, took the money and returned to the East Courtyard, suffering from no pen and ink, so she could only silently calculate in her heart: production and sales are equally important, she plans to share the account with her grandfather, she divides one hundred and ten Wen, Xiaoding Xiaogeng Liu Bao and Shen Qiang have helped her cut the soft mat grass, and there should be a salary, Lu Xiaoyi plans to give them ten cents each. Child labor is low-cost, and giving money is an encouragement, but it's not good to give too much, and it's not good to raise a copper smell like her.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoyi couldn't help but wonder.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Geng each got ten cents, and they were immediately stunned by the sudden 'huge money', Xiao Ding forgot to cover his teeth with a smile, Xiao Geng was busy looking for a place to hide money, as if he felt that it was not safe anywhere at home, and he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.

Yulan smiled and took away his two articles, "This is the car money for the last time I went to the city, I collected it for your father." ”

Xiao Geng screamed, snatched the two pennies back, and hid in a position where Yulan in the kang corner couldn't reach.

Lu Xiaoyi turned out his money jar, and sewed a few small cloth bags with Yulan, and packed his grandfather's, his own, Xiao Ding's, and Xiao Geng's money separately and put them in the money jar together.

Yulan doesn't treat Xiaoyi as a child now, and looks at her careful financial management, showing a gratifying smile.

When Lu Zhong came back in the evening, Lu Xiaoyi told him about his uncle, Lu Zhong suddenly darkened his face and went to the West Courtyard in a hurry.

Yulan put dinner on the table, and waited for Lu Zhong to come back to eat before asking, "Is Uncle back?" ”

Lu Zhong's face was not good, and he shook his head, "I didn't see anyone, I guess I hid in Gao Yang's house." ”

mentioned Zhang Gaoyang, Yulan's tone was not good, "Uncle is also a fool, and he still can't understand Gao Yang." ”

"Dad was already angry, and if he hid like this again, he was even more angry." Lu Zhong was very disappointed in his younger brother, and sighed: "Dad is like a mirror in his heart, so he will hide, this beating is accumulated, it is estimated that it will not be good!" ”

Yulan also had some disdain for her uncle's behavior, "Dad's body is not as good as in previous years, a few years ago, he was fainted by his mother's anger, and Dr. Wu said that he would be less angry, and Uncle didn't know what to think, if he was angry, he could feel better?" ”

Lu Zhongqi slapped his palm on the table and said sharply: "If he can understand this, can he be like this?" His bastard head is full of! ”

Lu Xiaoyi was taken aback by his father and motioned for Xiao Ding and Xiao Geng to go to the next room with her.

Xiao Geng asked as he walked: "Sister, doesn't Uncle stink?" Why did they all run out of their heads? ”

Lu Xiaoyi smiled and rubbed his little bun, "Na, don't learn from your uncle, otherwise the stink will run into your head, and the eldest sister won't take you to play, and she won't pay you any more wages!" ”

Xiao Geng immediately expressed his determination, and his innocent and dog-legged appearance softened Lu Xiaoyi's heart.

Yulan and Lu Zhong talked for a while, brought hot water and waited for a few children to finish washing, undress and sleep, and then go to clean up alone.

The sun sets, and Lu Xiaoyi is now used to going to bed early.

The autumn night is cold, and the jackdaw is poignant.

Lu Xiaoyi's heart fluctuated lying in the warm quilt, the joy of making money was still stimulating her cranial nerves, she slowly recalled today's events, not only affirmed her success, but also pointed out her shortcomings, and even hypocritically sighed 'No pay, no gain' Finally, she was complacent and looked forward to greater success and more money!

It's a complete look like a money fan who has been stunned by a little money!

At this moment, a roar came from the west, followed by a cry for mercy.

Lu Xiaoyi turned over, put on his coat and walked out, and saw that Yulan and Lu Zhong also got up.

Yulan glanced at Xiao Yi, "Don't go into the house yet, wear so little to avoid catching a cold!" ”

Lu Zhong said: "You all go back to the house, I'll go over and take a look!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi stepped forward and grabbed Yulan's arm and said coquettishly: "Mother, you stay with me for a while, I can't sleep!" ”

Yulan smiled and followed Lu Xiaoyi back to the house, and saw that Xiao Ding Xiaogeng was sleeping soundly, so she gently stepped forward and tucked the quilt, and her eyes motioned for Lu Xiaoyi to lie down quickly.

Lu Xiaoyi whispered: "Mother, grandfather is still waiting for my uncle so late?" ”

Magnolia was helpless, "Hey! Knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, your grandfather expected that he would sneak back at night and wait at the gate of the courtyard! ”

Lu Xiaoyi pricked up his ears to listen to the screams and begs for mercy in the West Courtyard becoming more and more high-pitched, and said worriedly: "Will grandfather beat my uncle to death?" ”

"It's not something you should worry about, go to sleep!" Yulan sat on the kang, wrapped Xiao Yilian quilt at her side, and patted her shoulder one by one.

At night, when it quieted down, the noise in the west became less of a problem, and all the difficulties of the day surfaced, Lu Xiaoyi's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he soon fell into a dark and sweet dream.

When Yulan heard Lu Zhong's voice, she walked out of the children's bedroom lightly.
