"The eldest sister guessed correctly, she was originally able to buy ninety copper plates a catty, but when I was looking for the old ones to receive the goods, I saw that our cicadas molted their shells, washed them clean, and kept them intact, so I added ten more copper plates a catty?" Liu Yishuang said.

"Eldest sister, the cicadas sold this time have seven and a half catties, sold seven hangings and fifty copper plates, the eldest sister confessed, sold ten catties of fat pork, and some other small things, and now there are five hangings left, the eldest sister will collect the money first." Liu Yihao said, took out five hangings of money from the bamboo basket behind him and handed it to Liu Yiyudao.

"Eldest sister, why did you let Gorou buy so much fatty meat, don't we still have a lot of lard and cured meat to eat? How much does it cost? ”。 Liu Li and Liu Zhang saw that after buying so much fat meat, they spent a lot of money, and the two of them suddenly felt a little distressed.

"Grandma, mother, didn't we buy these fatty pork to eat? Let's use these fatty pork to boil into oil, and then brush it on the tree to catch cicada chrysalis? Let's use the money to buy fatty pork. Can I get more money? Fatty pork is boiled into oil, and we still have fried it to eat? Kill two birds with one stone, let's exchange small money for big money, this business is done."

"What the eldest sister said is that grandma will go to boil lard, and when the lard is boiled, we will go to the tree in the afternoon to brush it." After Liu Zhang heard this, he acted in a hurry, took the fat pork from Liu Yihao's hand, and began to boil water to wash the pork.

"Grandma, I'll help you light the fire." Liu Yisa walked into the kitchen and said to Liu Zhang.

"Hey".

After the sixth sister saw the fifth brother come back, she thought that the fifth brother said this morning that after going to the town to sell the cicada molting shell, she would buy maltose for herself to eat, and looked at Liu Yihao one by one.

"No, the maltose that the fifth brother promised to buy for you, take it and eat it, eldest sister, mother, you won't blame me for spending money indiscriminately." Liu Yihao took out a yellow paper bag from the bamboo basket and handed it to the sixth sister, and then, Liu Yihao thought of something, and looked at Liu Yiyu a little unnaturally and asked.

"There must be a few small ones for you to buy, since the sixth sister is greedy to buy some to taste the mouth, besides, catching the cicada chrysalis, the sixth sister is also struggling, they should be rewarded, mother, you say yes."

"Mother sees that you are happy, and you are healthy, where will I blame you, besides, the eldest sister is also right, this money is earned by everyone, and everyone will be rewarded." Although Liu Li felt sorry for money, seeing his children happy, no matter how tired and bitter he was, he felt that everything was worth it.

"Eldest sister, you are so good, my mother is so good, I like eldest sister and mother the most." Liu Yimeng jumped three feet high and took the malt candy from Liu Yihao's hand and said happily.

"Me too, me too" "And me?" ”。 Not to be outdone, the seventh brother and the eighth sister shouted.

"The fifth brother bought sugar for you, but he couldn't please him, and he didn't like it, so he bought maltose when he knew it."

"The eighth sister also likes the fifth brother and the third sister, you all eat." Liu Yile took two pieces of maltose and handed them to Liu Yihao and Liu Yishuang.

"It's still the eighth sister who feels sorry for the fifth brother." Liu Yihao touched Liu Yile's head, took the maltose handed over by Liu Yile, handed it to Xun'er and said, "Xun'er, you can eat it too."

"Xun'er, take it and eat, sweet mouth, my mother also eats a piece, everyone eats a piece, our family is blessed and enjoys hardships together, sixth sister, you go to the kitchen and take a piece for grandma and second sister to eat, fifth brother, didn't you buy something for Xun'er?" Liu Yiyu also saw that Liu Yihao had a red rope in his pocket.

Liu Yiyu looked at Xun'er's long hair again, but tied it up with a hemp rope, and it was natural for Liu Yihao to buy a red rope for Xun'er.

"I'm ....., Xun'er, this red rope is for you." After Liu Yihao heard his eldest sister's words, his face was slightly red, and he took out the red rope from his pocket, and his eyes did not dare to look at Xun'er Dao.

"I .....". Xun'er's face turned red, and she didn't dare to look at Liu Yihao.

"What's wrong with Xun'er, let's go on! Our girls all have long hair tied with red ropes." The third sister said at this time.

"Yes? Sister Xun'er, do I have it too? You see, how beautiful is it to tie your long hair with a red rope? ”。 The eighth sister, Liu Yile, turned around conspicuously and let Xun'er look at the red rope that tied her long hair.

"I'm ....., I'll help in the kitchen". Xun'er put the red rope in his pocket, and ran to the kitchen to help with a red face like sunset.

Liu Yiyu looked at it and sighed in his heart, why were the children of ancient times so precocious? .

However, Liu Li looked at Wulang and Xun'er like this, and Liu Li looked at the two of them with joy on his face.

By the time Liu Zhang's family boiled the lard and made lunch, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and after the Liu family had finished lunch.

Liu Yiyu told everyone to rest for a while, now the weather is hot, the afternoon is the time when the sun is scorching, going out to do things, Liu Yiyu is afraid of heat stroke, so he arranged to tell everyone to rest, and then go out to do things at about six o'clock in the afternoon.

Two by two, divided into four groups, around the bamboo house soldiers divided into four roads, as long as it is a big tree, brush the lard on the waist of the big tree, the mother took the fifth brother to the bamboo house mountain down the road, Liu Yiyu took Xun'er to the bamboo house to the mountain road, the second sister took the fourth sister to the left of the bamboo house, and the third sister took the sixth sister to the right of the bamboo house.

In the afternoon, before six o'clock, the Liu family woke up after resting, full of energy, and ready to do a big job, leaving Grandma, the seventh brother and the eighth sister at home to watch the house and cook.

This time there is a goal and a purpose in doing things, and the family only spent an hour and a half to brush the big trees around the Liu family with lard.

That night, Liu Yiyu and his family finished dinner, Liu Yiyu lay on the stone pit in the cave, Liu Yiyu was thinking about things, afraid that the lard that his brothers and sisters brushed was not thick, and worried that the cicada chrysalis would climb over the tree and turn over and over on the stone pit and couldn't sleep.

"Sister, you haven't slept yet?"

"Well, some can't sleep, thinking about those cicada chrysalis, I haven't seen this with my own eyes, and I don't know if this thing will work out, fifth brother, you can't sleep either? What do you think? ”。

"Am I the same as my eldest sister? Eldest sister, why don't we go out and have a look, so that we can rest assured? Grandma and mother-in-law can't sleep, worried? Let's go out and have a look, and come back and tell them that it's okay to be relieved."

"That's it, so be it!". In the small cave, the Liu family is asleep, who is not asleep, the echo in the cave has long been heard clearly, the Liu family, I am afraid that in addition to the seventh brother and the eighth sister, I am afraid that even the sixth sister is thinking about the cicada chrysalis and is not asleep? .

"Big sister, Goro, my mother will go out with you."

"Mother, your health is not very good, and you have worked hard in the past two days, I will accompany the eldest sister and fifth brother to go out, and you can rest well." At this time, the third sister Liu Yishuang got up and put on her clothes and said.

"That.... Okay, go out and be careful, and watch the way."

"Mother, we know".
