After Xiaocai was full, he hugged Xiao Nanqiao and fed her food and meat. Lao Gao looked at it, glared at his son, and said, "You don't know how to eat more, you still look like a wilted chicken at the age of eleven." ”

Lao Gao's daughter-in-law was not happy, knocked on the bowl and said: "Xiaocai is not yet eleven, and besides, the male baby will jump when he is tall, I don't think he will be younger than you in the future." ”

"Still compare with me? When I was his age, I was almost seven feet, and you see him like a bear? When I'm eighteen years old, I don't know if I'll be able to grow seven feet. ”

"You just wait and see, he will not be shorter than you when he grows up."

Xiaocai pouted and said, "I don't want to farm and hunt in the future, why are you so tall?" ”

Lao Gao shouted: "If you don't farm, then what can you do?" ”

"I study and test for fame." Xiaocai followed Yan Jibai to read books for a while, and he still learned something.

"Hehe, you're still testing your fame." Although he was talking about his son, Lao Gao's face was still very good.

Lu Di smiled: "Small wealth is good, ambitious, farming and hunting are not good." ”

Qi Xiang said: "There's nothing wrong with that, at least you can have food and drink." ”

Lu Di's daughter-in-law said: "I think it's better to study, and it's difficult to guarantee that those who farm have food and drink. ”

Lu Di's daughter-in-law is right, in a disaster year, people who farm may have some advantages, but sometimes this can also become a potential hidden danger, those violent people who have nothing to eat, but they will stare at those who have food.

Lao Gao said: "I don't dare to think about this thing, as long as this kid can grow up and marry a daughter-in-law and have a few sons, I can close my eyes even if I die." ”

"If you are young, you can't die."

"That is, Lao Gao, you don't plan to have a few more?"

Lao Gao said with a smile: "I can't support one anymore, and I dare to ask for a few." He asked Lu Di again: "Lu Di, you two are young, just this girl?" ”

Lu Di smiled: "One girl is enough, it's good." ”

Qi Xiang said: "How can a girl be enough, don't you want a son to renew the incense or something?" ”

"It's nothing if it's fragrant or not, and if you have grandchildren and granddaughters in the future, they will also be your own people."

"Hey, that's still different."

Lu Yu and Lu Di have the same concept, they both feel that having children and daughters are the same, they are all their own children, but Qi Xiang has different opinions. But there's nothing to argue about, it's normal for everyone to have different ideas.

Xiaocai suddenly said: "I just want a sister, if only I had a sister." ”

Lu Yu also made a rare joke: "Then don't you urge your parents and tell them to give birth to a sister for you quickly." ”

"They won't, and they blame me." Xiaocai's head was very big, and he shook it vigorously.

Lu Yu was curious, and asked Xiaocai: "Why do they blame you?" ”

Xiaocai hugged Lu Di's daughter and said seriously: "My father always said that it was because I didn't sleep well, otherwise my younger brothers and sisters would be several years old." ”

Qi Xiang and Lu Di laughed when they heard this, and the laughing Lao Gao couldn't help but knock Xiaocai's head a few times with chopsticks. Xiaocai was very aggrieved, touched his head and said, "If you don't give me a sister, why do you blame me." ”

Lu Di smiled: "Xiaocai, our Nanqiao is your sister, isn't that good?" ”

Xiaocai was stunned for a moment and said, "It's good, but her surname is Lu and not Gao." ”

"Hey, you kid, you still want a surname Gao."

Qi Xiang began to joke inappropriately again: "Xiaocai, then when you grow up and marry Nan Qiao home as a daughter-in-law, then she will be a member of your Gao family." ”

This joke is not very harmful, and Lu Di and his wife are not angry, they both look at Xiaocai with a smile.

Xiaocai actually thought about it seriously for a while, and then shook his head seriously and said, "Forget it, Nan Qiao is too young, it's better to be my sister." Nan Qiao also looked confused, with a pair of big round eyes, and his eyes were rolling.

"Hehe, you are only a few years older than her, look at your Uncle Da Yu, the aunt I found for you is seventeen or eighteen years younger than him."

Lu Yu's face was hot, and he retorted: "Nonsense, how can you be so young, just ten years old." ”

Lu Di smiled: "Da Yu, more than ten years old, how can there be fourteen or fifteen, fifteen or sixteen." ”

Lu Yu was reluctant to talk about himself, and said to Lu Di: "Lu Di, why don't you and Lao Gao's family get married first?" ”

Lu Di immediately said: "Forget it, my daughter is still young." ”

Lao Gao was unhappy: "What's wrong, Lu Di, you still don't look down on my family's small wealth." ”

"It's your son who thinks my daughter is small, but it's not that I don't like it."

"It's less than ten years old, what is this, look at Lu Yu."

Lu Yu: "Why are you talking about me again?" ”

……

After eating and drinking, Lao Gao's daughter-in-law brought out a big bowl of hot stewed mutton from the kitchen and asked Qi Xiang to take it back to his daughter-in-law to eat. Qi Xiang grinned and took it.

On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, I still have to go up to the mountains to hunt. The three of Lu Yu have discussed it, if the harvest is not good, this hunt will not be able to be fought until the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month.

On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, luck was better, and before noon, he hunted two fat wild boars. This is also because Lu Yu deliberately released his divine sense and probed as far away as possible. In fact, Lu Yu found more than these two wild boars.

Two wild boars were sold for one and a half, every household in the village bought pork, and those who had no money, Lao Gao also sent some over. The pork and mutton sold in these two days are not expensive, and the price of meat in previous years is about the same.

On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, there were two wild boars again, or because Lu Yu deliberately went to find them.

So on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the three of them didn't have to go up the mountain to hunt anymore, and Lu Yu went into the mountain by himself and got back three wild sheep.

Now Lu Yu has seventy or eighty pounds of pork and three wild sheep. Lu Yu plans to send meat and sheep out on the twenty-ninth day. Of the three sheep, one was to be given to Shan Tianfang, one was given to the Yan family and Lu Ming's family, and the remaining one was shared with Lao Gao Ludi. As for pork, Lu Yu planned to keep a dozen catties, and the rest were also distributed to Shan Tian Fang Lu Ming and the Yan family.

On the evening of the 28th, Lu Yu slaughtered a sheep in the backyard and divided the meat, and he planned to go to the county seat in the morning of the 29th and the town in the afternoon.

Lao Gao knew that Lu Yu was definitely going to the county seat, so he also took more than 20 catties of pork in advance and asked Lu Yu to help bring it to his sister. Lu Yu gave the remaining sheep to Lao Gao and asked him to help kill it, and the three families shared a little.

On the morning of the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Lu Yu went to Jinhua City. In addition to half a goat and fifty or sixty catties of pork, he also brought a lot of green vegetables and radishes, as well as those fruits that he had made a few days ago. Lu Yu doesn't like to eat it very much, but Yan Xi'an and Lan Shaofang may like it, and Xi must undoubtedly like it.

went to Yan's house, and Mrs. Yan told Lu Yu that Qin Zhongquan, who lived in the city, had also asked someone to send some things over the day before, including duck, dried fish, flour, and some sweet potato vermicelli, and she asked Lu Yu to take some back.

Lu Yu didn't ask for the duck and dried fish, so he took a lot of noodles, and Lu Yu remembered the taste of stewed mutton with noodles, which seemed to be good.

sent something to Lao Gao's sister again, and then Lu Yu went back, he didn't have lunch in Jinhua City.

Yangshan Village is close to Dunlin Town, so Lu Yu plans to go twice. Before noon, he carried half a sheep's meat and dozens of catties of pork and went to Lu Ming's house first.

Lu Ming had already guessed that his brother would definitely send meat to his family, and he would not be surprised, so he asked Lu Yu if he had killed his sheep.

Lu Yu said that the goats were hunted in the mountains with Lao Gao Lu Di, and this year they were lucky, hunted several of them, and sold a lot.

At noon, I had lunch at Lu Ming's house, fresh wild boar and mutton, fried and stewed. Lu Ming asked Lu Yu if he would come to his house tomorrow for the New Year, Lu Yu said that he couldn't come, so Lu Ming didn't say much.

After eating lunch and going back, Lu Yu packed up his things again and prepared to send them to Shan Tianfang in the afternoon.

In terms of relationship, for Lu Yu, Shan Tianfang is certainly not as close as his younger brother and the Yan family. But Lu Yu thought that Shan Tianfang was an upright and kind person, and he raised so many orphans, so he gave him the most things. In addition to a whole goat and more than 30 catties of wild boar, there is also Lu Yu's green vegetables and radishes that are almost half of the garden. After grinding, Lu Yu also carried a bag of rice.

Shan Tianfang and his subordinate brothers knew that Lu Yu had a lot of strength, but when they saw Lu Yu coming over with such a large number of things on his shoulders and on his back, they were still shocked.

These people were surprised and delighted, rushed to take the things that Lu Yu brought, and let him into the house again.

The group of children with vegetables on their faces couldn't help but cheer when they saw the sheep and pork. Hearing their cheers, Lu Yu didn't feel any joy and satisfaction in his heart, he only felt sour, regretting that he didn't bring more things over.

Shan Tianfang should have been very moved, this soldier who was like an iron fighter, his eyes were slightly red at this time. Fortunately, he didn't thank Lu Yu much, which made Lu Yu much easier.

But Shan Tianfang still said: "Thanks to Mr. Lu, you sent these things, otherwise tomorrow for the New Year, we will only have to eat green vegetables and boiled sweet potatoes." ”

"Huh." Lu Yu didn't know what to say, he understood that Shan Tianfang could have lived a better life.

"Hey, we adults, it's nothing to be bitter, just pity these children, it's the New Year, and we almost can't even eat a bite of meat."

One of Shan Tianfang's subordinates also said: "Yes, just rush these children, we also have to thank Mr. Lu." ”

"Thank me for what." Lu Yu felt a little ashamed, compared to Shan Tianfang, the little thing he did was almost insignificant, he said: "You are the benefactor of these children, my little thing is nothing." ”

"Ugh." Shan Tianfang secretly rubbed his eyes and said with a smile: "Wait for next year, if we are still here, we really want to go to the village to open up wasteland and farm, and also raise pigs and sheep." ”

Lu Yu nodded, thinking, "I hope that next year, when the official yamen opens, you can still stay here." "Shan Tianfang may not be the founder of the current order of Dunlin Town (Lu Yu is the one), but because of them, the order of the town can be maintained so well, and these fatherless, motherless, and helpless children will not starve to death.

Lu Yu suddenly remembered the old people with children in the town, and said secretly: "I forgot about Xiaomao and them, it's going to be the New Year, and I have to send them some meat and vegetables." ”
