Seeing that Huang Kaichou left, the matter was over, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Li Tu's mother, Zheng, breathed a long sigh of relief and said with relief, "It's okay now, it's okay now, it's finally paid off the debt." ”

"I can't sleep every night these days because I'm worried about the fields being taken away, and this matter is finally over, so let me go and sleep in the house for a while."

Li Tu nodded and said, "Mother, go to sleep, I'll buy some vegetables after the sauerkraut is finished." ”

After leaving the house, Li Tu came to the market at the head of the town.

How clever is Cao San, who sells vegetables? Li Tu had just returned the money, and he already knew the news. At this time, when he saw Li Tu coming to his side, he greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Brother Li, are you here to buy vegetables today?"

Li Tu ignored his flattery, and only said coldly,

"How much is it to buy a pound of celery?"

Cao San shouted, "Okay, twenty wen a catty!" ”

He strode back to the back of his cart and leaned down to get food from it. wanted to create an opportunity to talk to Li Tu, he deliberately pretended to be unable to touch the food for a long time.

Squatting on the ground, he said to Li Tu with a flattering face:

"Brother Li, you are a person with status, and you have compared Huang Xianggong. You must not deal with villains like me. The joke I made with you the other day, don't take it to heart. ”

Li Tu looked silent and ignored him.

After thinking about it, Cao San said again: "Brother Li, where did you borrow the forty taels of silver?" ”

Li Tu frowned, and said unhappily, "I have my own place to borrow it, what does it have to do with you?" ”

Seeing that Li Tu was unhappy, Cao San immediately slapped him in the face lightly, and said flatteringly, "It's okay, it's okay!" Brother Li, you are a person with status, don't worry about villains like me. ”

With a movement of his hand, Cao San felt the celery out of the bottom of the trolley. Carefully removing the yellow leaves that had grown old on the top of the dish, Cao San only put the most tender part on the scale. Fingers lifted the scale, and the celery lifted the tail of the scale high.

The scale is at the position of one catty, and the tail of the scale is raised high, which means that the weight of the dish is more than one catty.

In fact, even if Li Tu paid off his debts, he was just an ordinary yeoman farmer, with no power or power. Even if you come to Cao San every day to buy vegetables, it is only a business of dozens of yuan. But what kind of person is Cao San? At this time, seeing that Li Tu defeated Huang Kaichou, he became flattering and flattered everywhere.

Even if this kind of flattery, there is actually no benefit.

Li Tu was amused, but he didn't show it. Taking the celery, he threw twenty cents to Cao San.

Cao San took the copper coin and quickly thanked him. After thinking about it, he suddenly said to Li Tu:

"Brother Li, why do I think you've changed as if you've changed?"

"Oh? How did I change? ”

Cao San blinked, and his tongue suddenly froze. He wanted to say that Li Tu used to be stupid and stupid, and he was bullied everywhere and didn't dare to speak up, which is very different from now. But for fear that he would say the wrong thing and anger Li Tu, he didn't dare to say it directly, so he held back for a long time and said:

"Brother Li has become heroic!"

This Cao San's funny appearance amused Li Tu's heart, but Li Tu didn't show it on his face. Glancing at Cao San, he didn't speak, and walked away with celery.

Li Tu returned home, and as soon as he walked into the yard, he saw a beautiful figure standing in the house, talking to his mother Zheng.

The person who came was Cui He, the third daughter of Cui Xianggong's family in the town. Seeing Li Tu, Cui He snorted lightly, "Brother Li is back", then left Zheng and ran to Li Tu at a trot.

"Brother Li, you're back!"

Seeing this girl's willful appearance, Li Tu couldn't help but laugh, and replied angrily,

"I'm back, so what?"

Li Tu was not angry, but the girl was not angry. Her eyes smiled into a line, and she said aloud:

"Brother Li, I saw it all this morning. You exposed Huang Kaichou's plot to annex your family land in front of everyone, so that you can be prestigious. ”

Stretching out his little hand and patting Li Tu's shoulder, Cui Hexing said happily:

"I grew up with you since I was a child, I only know that you are honest and honest, when did you learn these sharp-mouthed skills? How did I never know you had what it takes? Where did you learn? ”

Seeing Cui He talking to himself and being intimate with himself, Li Tu was amused in his heart, and came out with a serious look on his face. Taking a step back, Li Tu said loudly,

"Men and women don't kiss, Cui He, there are no rules for how you speak, you don't want to lose the etiquette of the girl's family."

The voice of this statement became louder, causing passers-by outside the courtyard to look into the courtyard a few times.

That Cui He was not afraid of this, his eyes smiled into a line, Cui He crossed his waist and said:

"We've been playing together since we were kids, and when have we ever had such a strong defense between men and women. I still remember playing with mud when I was a child, you pretended to be a husband and I pretended to be a lady, and you only giggled at that time! ”

"Why are you so clever now, it's like you've changed a person."

Farmer Li Tu does not have a good memory, and many things are memorized with a synopsis. In many cases, if Li Tu wants to use those memories, he has to use his imagination to complete those vague memories into reasonable things.

But in the original memory of the farmer Li Tu, he carefully remembered that he and Cui He played husband and wife. Even the actions of the two of them when they worshiped heaven and earth, and even the delicate little face of Cui He when he was a child, I remember it clearly.

It seems that this farmer Li Tu likes this Miss Cui family very much.

Seeing that Li Tu was stunned and ignored her, Cui Heqian smiled and groaned, and reached out to pat Li Tu's shoulder again,

"Where did you get the money? The big ingot of silver is forty taels, where did you borrow it? That's amazing! ”

Looking at Cui He, Li Tu replied:

"I borrowed it from a friend who does business?"

Hearing this, Cui He was stunned, his eyes rolled, and a smile appeared on his face, "What kind of business?" Why did he lend you so much money? ”

This Cui He's behavior is childish and ridiculous, but he is really smart. Li Tu only said about borrowing money, and she guessed seven or eight points.

"Are you going to go to sea too?"

Zhangzhou has many people on the isthmus, and there has always been a saying that Zhangzhou people take the sea as their field, and it is not uncommon to go to the sea. Not to mention that the only officially recognized Tongfan port in the Ming Dynasty is in Zhangzhou, and the business and travel are prosperous.

Li Tu had nothing to hide, and replied honestly

"I'm going to sea."

Hearing this, Zheng, who was sitting in the room weaving cloth, froze in his hands and stood up.

Cui He was also stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously pulled the corner of his clothes.

"And when will you be back?"

"This time, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back until next year!"

Hearing the discussion between the two, Li Tu's mother was surprised, walked to the door of the house and asked, "Tu'er, are you going to sea?" ”

Seeing that his mother was worried, Li Tu walked up and replied:

"Mother, I'm going to sea."

Zheng asked worriedly, "Is it the friend who borrowed your money to take you to sea?" ”

Li Tu nodded.

Looking at the broken walls and old utensils in the house, Li Tu said:

"Mother, I'm not farming material, and I can't live the days when I face the loess and turn my back to the sky."

"The man's husband, guarding these seven acres of thin fields is not a way."

"I go to sea, I can't say that I can't break out of the world and get ahead!"

"The owner of the ship has promised me a reward of forty taels a year. Later, when it is cooked, there are more silver taels. I will do it for a few years, and then I can return to my hometown to buy a farm. ”

Although he heard Li Tu's explanation, Zheng's face was still full of worry.

"Tu'er, the sea is windy and the waves are strong, but it is not as good as a stable life on land. I have also heard that there are strong men on the seas, plundering ships... ”

Seeing that his mother was worried, Li Tu said loudly:

"Mother, don't worry, look at my ability, who is the opponent in the town? What are you afraid of him at sea? I will definitely come back with a great future so that you and Tong'er can live a good life. ”

Seeing that Li Tu had already made up his mind, Zheng sighed and didn't say anything more.

This time, Li Tu successfully raised forty taels of silver, saved the family, and gave Zheng confidence in his son. The son has grown up, he has more opinions and methods than himself, and now Li Tu is in charge of everything in this family. Since the son has made up his mind to go to sea, he naturally has the reason for his son.

Although Zheng was worried, he didn't say anything anymore and sat back in front of his loom.

Seeing that his mother didn't say anything anymore, Li Tu turned around, looked at Cui He and asked:

"How?"

Hearing Li Tu's words, Cui He was sullen, pursed his lips, and deflated his lips into strange shapes.

Halfway through, she almost shouted, "I'll wait for you to come back!" ”

After saying this, Cui He turned around, didn't look back, and ran out.
