Liu Wu took out a bamboo tube from the bottom of the basket and handed it to Zhao Ergang: "Brother Ergang, you drink some water, it's just a long time, it's originally hot, but it's getting cold at this time." ”

Zhao Ergang hesitated for a moment, then smiled, took the bamboo tube, and drank half a tube of water in two sips.

The catkins opened the bag, and there was nothing left in it except a bird feather, not even the dandruff of the broken nest.

"Damn thief! Even stealing birds, and the next time I catch you, I will definitely pull your tendons, pick your skin, kowtow your head, and pluck your nails......."

......

In the deep and deep dark pit in the distance, the young man with a long body shivered, and with his delicate fingers, he tore off the last shredded meat of the bird and put it in his mouth.

The young man rinsed his mouth with bamboo water, tears rolled in his eyes, his eyes shrank, his arms wrapped around his shoulders, and his whole body trembled.

With a figure of nearly five and a half feet, he was pitiful for twelve points, and his mouth choked up: "Mother, Nan'er is afraid of ......."

The young man's tears finally fell, and in the dark room, like dusty pearls, they shone brightly.

......

Nearly ten o'clock in the evening, Uncle Niu drove his ox cart back to Liuhe Village from Jiangyin County.

The ox cart stopped under the big willow tree at the entrance of the village, and the villagers got off one after another, and each gave Uncle Niu two copper plates, which were considered road fare.

Uncle Niu, as usual, put the copper plate into the money pair, grabbed a handful of forage and stuffed it into the cow's mouth, which was regarded as a reward for the old man of the old scalper, and after eating, he was ready to go home to eat and collect firewood.

The two girls stopped in front of the cow, Uncle Niu raised his eyes and saw that they were the two daughters of the third room of the Liu family in the village.

Liu Wu stepped forward with a smile on his face, threw a basket of firewood on the board of the ox cart, and said with a sweet smile: "Uncle Niu, as soon as you go to the county seat, it will be a day, if the time to come back is delayed, there is no time to chop firewood, this day is cold, you take these firewood and use it first." ”

Uncle Niu felt a strange feeling in his heart, his son went to the top army at a young age, and after many years, there was no news, and Aunt Niu was in a hurry and became blind.

The daughter-in-law has to take care of the old and the young at home, and she is so busy that she hits the back of her head, and Niu Bo has to go up the mountain to chop wood after returning from the city, and if she comes back late, there are wild beasts at night, which increases the risk a lot.

Uncle Niu smiled happily and said: "Three girls, let's say, if you want to sell a few copper plates, if you have more, you don't have to give them, Uncle Niu doesn't earn a few copper plates a day." ”

Liu Xu smiled, there are nine villagers who have just gotten off the car, if there are two copper plates for one person, there will be eighteen copper plates, plus the road fare for entering the village in the morning, forty copper plates a day is easy, this Niu Bo can be regarded as the middle and upper class people in Liuhe Village.

Liu Fu said with a smile: "Uncle Niu, even the milk baby in our village can see your rich and noble portrait when he sees you." Don't worry, my firewood is not expensive at all, as long as these. ”

Catkins held out a finger.

Not expensive? How much?

Uncle Niu was suspicious: "A copper plate? ”

A large load of firewood in the city costs four copper plates, the village is too far away from the city, a large load of firewood is almost two copper plates, and the firewood of catkins is less than a large load, and a copper plate is quite fair.

Liu Wu shook his head, smiled happily, held the bark bag in front of Niu Bo's eyes and said, "Uncle Niu, I don't want copper plates, I just need you to promise me one thing." ”

Without waiting for Niu Bo to answer, the catkins had already started to tie the bark bag to the frame and hang it behind the cow's buttocks.

"Huh?" Uncle Niu touched the bag with great interest, although it was rough, but it was not sharpened, and the cow should not be uncomfortable.

It happened that the scalper had just finished eating the forage, and "moo" barked twice, with a tail, a pouting of the buttocks, and a bubble of shit, which just fell into the bag.

Uncle Huang couldn't help but be happy, looked at Liu Fu and said with a smile: "It's a shame that you girl came up with this trick!" Funny to death!! In this way, you send a load and a half of firewood to the Niu family every day, just enough for a day, I don't take advantage of your little girl, there are five chickens, an old cat, two dogs, and a pig at home, and all the dung belongs to you. ”

The catkins flattened their mouths and shook their heads.

Uncle Niu thought that Liu Wu thought that he was at a loss and disagreed, and just wanted to ask for less firewood, but he saw Liu Wu shaking his head and saying: "You are wrong, Uncle Niu, you said the same less." ”

"Huh? Less? Uncle Niu counted on his fingers, his livestock is expensive, one is not many, and one is not much.......

Thinking about it, his eyes lit up, his eyes widened bigger than a cow's eyes, and he pretended to be disgusted: "Stinky girl, seeing that the old man's family has no fields, you even hit the idea of people?" For you, for you, for you, but you can't put such a guy on me and Aunt Niu, right? You come to collect the pit yourself in the spring......"

Liu Wu couldn't wait to bite off her tongue, she really responded to that sentence, moved a stone to hit her feet, in order not to pick up cow dung to think of a clever plan, and finally became a pit to clean up, she really wanted to calculate, from picking up cow dung to collecting human dung, she was a victory, or a failure?

The only consolation is that the thatched pit of each family can be cleaned up once every six months, and now it is freezing sincerely, and it needs to be thawed in spring to clean up the accumulation and fermentation together, and then think of countermeasures.

What Liu Fu and Niu Bo didn't expect was that within two days, almost all the villagers in Liuhe Village knew the news that Uncle Niu's cow dung was contracted by the three girls of the Liu family, and they were in an uproar and rushed to follow suit.

As a result, the livestock of Liuhe Village must go out with dung pockets, and even the two wild dogs wandering in the village, the little black donkey pulled by the He family is no exception, the spiritual civilization of Liuhe Village has reached an unprecedented level in history, and the appearance of the village has been effectively improved, and it has truly achieved "fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders".

Speaking of catkins, he returned home happily, Zhou opened his mouth and was about to scold, but Liu Wu hurriedly said: "Grandma, in the future, all the manure of Uncle Niu's family will be given to our family, and there is no need to pick it up every day, just go to collect the bags before Uncle Niu goes out of the village every morning." ”

Zhou's eyes gouged out the Liu Fu sisters fiercely, turned around and entered the warehouse, and didn't even ask Liu Wu and Liu Ya sisters about not eating at noon and night.

Willow walked out of the main room with a gloomy face, glanced at Zhou's who hurriedly flashed into the warehouse, glanced at the sticky and complacent catkins angrily, and said softly: "Regard dung as gold, love money and compete for blood flies, poor phoenix bird perched firewood!" With a sigh in his mouth, a picture of a phoenix falling into a chicken nest and never meeting it.

Liu Wu rolled his eyes back: "It's useless to be a scholar." ”

He turned around and went back to the lower house, leaving Willow alone, standing in the cold wind, and gritted his teeth for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said: "Everything is inferior, only reading is high." If it weren't for your dead ghost father, why would I be here, you wait......"
