Chapter 58: Lu Lao Er returned empty-handed
The children were immediately stumped, mainly because they didn't know how to choose a name, and Little Black and Little Red were originally very good!
He Jiuniang thought about it, and suddenly said: "Black and red are their characteristics, they can be retained, just add one more word at the end." ”
The children suddenly frowned and pondered, what is it called?
"Yes, they run as fast as the wind, how is the wind, mother?"
The dog looked at He Jiuniang with a smile, hoping to get her approval.
"Black Wind ......"
He Jiuniang thought about it and thought it was good, so she said: "The black horse is called Heifeng, and the red horse is a girl, you have to give it a gentler name." ”
"It's a girl!"
Little Tiger scratches his head, no wonder it's red, it's so beautiful.
"Sister Lotus's name is good, or let's call it Red Flower!"
Leizi said something shocking again, He Jiuniang's face wrinkled, this kid ...... How so? It's pretty damn something!
So, she guided the children again: "It's good to call flowers, tell me what flowers you all know?" ”
Leizi was the first to speak: "Wild flowers, wild flowers!" ”
He Jiuniang: ......
In order not to hit the child's self-confidence, He Jiuniang smiled on the surface: "That's right, that's right!" What else? ”
The dog raised his hand: "I know!" Chrysanthemum! ”
On the way to Jingzhou before, He Jiuniang took the dog to boo, and when he saw a bush of wild chrysanthemums, He Jiuniang popularized the knowledge of flowers for him, but he didn't expect him to remember it until now, and the old mother was very pleased.
"Cockscomb!"
The girl also raised her hand.
"Osmanthus!"
Ting, who has never liked to talk, couldn't help but speak.
He Jiuniang nodded with a smile: "What you said is right, do you know what flowers?" ”
Leizi is still not far behind: "Cauliflower!" ”
He Jiuniang's smiling face suddenly froze, this kid is really!
She's given up struggling, thank you!
At this time, Old Man Lu also came out, and when he heard them discussing, he couldn't help but join in: "I went out to walk earlier, but I knew that nobles love orchids and peony flowers very much, and there are many kinds of orchids on the mountain, but I have never seen peony flowers, I only know that they are flowers that symbolize wealth and wealth, and they are very valuable!" ”
"Wow!" The children's eyes widened one by one, "Peony flower, what a nice name!" ”
You girl said again: "Third sister-in-law, let's call Ma Er Peony, okay?" ”
Red peony.
It sounds a bit like the name of a certain flower building, but it does sound good, at least it is better than the ones I said before, and it is more smooth.
He Jiuniang nodded and smiled: "Yes, then it will be called red peony in the future, and you can also call it peony if you want to!" ”
The children began to cheer around the two horses, celebrating their beautiful names.
Old man Lu saw his children smiling so happily, and he was in a good mood, so he took the initiative to lead the two horses out, and waved his big hand: "Let's go, grandpa will take you to let the horses go!" ”
A group of children ran away with Old Man Lu like this, and He Jiuniang entered the house with a smile and helped everyone clean up together.
Yu Shi was talking: "Mother, now we live here, but the field has not yet settled, men build houses, we women can't help, I think about going to the nearby mountains early tomorrow morning to see if we can open up a few pieces of land, our family's food still has to be planted." ”
The Qin family, Lu Guilan and the Shen family immediately said, "Sister-in-law, let's go with you!" ”
He Jiuniang stood at the door, a little embarrassed, she didn't want to go anyway.
In order to alleviate the embarrassment, she said: "You can also go to see the barren mountains nearby, but you still have to ask if there is any family in the village who wants to sell land, let's buy some and plant them, otherwise we will definitely not be able to support our family by relying on the barren land in the barren mountains alone." ”
Everyone nodded, but suddenly with a sad face, Lu Guilan said: "Where are normal people willing to sell their land, not to mention that there are few fields in Anping Village, and each family may not have much land, we are willing to buy it, and people may not be willing to sell it!" ”
"There are always people who are willing to sell, such as those who have few families but more fields, just ask more, this matter is on me."
He Jiuniang patted her chest and assured that although she had asked the village chief to help ask, they couldn't do nothing themselves, at least they had to inquire about the price of land on the market first, so as not to be deceived.
"Okay, then I'll bother the three brothers and sisters!"
A few people talked and laughed, and Sun reminded: "Be careful not to be cheated." ”
She didn't worry about others, she just couldn't worry about He Jiuniang's big grievance, and she had a little money in her hands, and she didn't think about the price at all.
He Jiuniang only felt funny, and nodded vigorously: "I know, you can rest assured!" ”
The family quickly cleaned up the grass hut to ensure that it would be more comfortable to sleep at night, so the Yu family was ready to kill the chicken and fish and stew the soup first, so that they could eat it at night, while the Qin family wanted to go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, and they could cook a soup for lunch in a while.
There is no need for Sun to worry about these things, and everyone will consciously find things to do.
He Jiuniang also wanted to go to the mountains to have a look, and they all said that she had to go to the mountains to investigate the situation in the mountains and see what she could do to make a living, otherwise just by farming, when would this family get rich?
Just as they were about to go out, Lu Lao Er and a group of men came back, they were arranged by Old Man Lu to buy stones to build the foundation, but they came back empty-handed.
"What's the matter, didn't you go buy stones? How do you come back empty-handed? ”
Lu Lao Er sighed: "It's too expensive, the larger ones cost 30 yuan a piece, the smaller ones also cost more than 10 yuan a piece, and the broken ones are 10 yuan a carriage, I don't think it's cost-effective, so I'll come back first and ask everyone what they mean, otherwise we will go up the mountain to quarry by ourselves!" ”
This price is indeed ridiculously expensive, if it were changed in the past, thirty yuan could buy at least five big stones.
Sun asked, "How can this be?" ”
"It is said that there are many refugees who come to Jingzhou to defect, and the price of all kinds of things has risen, so the price of stones has also risen."
"It's ridiculous! It's just that the price of grain is rising, and what kind of excitement is there for the stone sellers? ”
Sun exhaled angrily, and Lu Guilan was worried that her old man was angry, so she hurriedly patted her chest to calm down.
Lu Lao Er nodded: "I think so too, it just so happens that several eldest brothers in the village say that there are many stones on the mountain, so it is better for us to mine them ourselves, it is more troublesome, but it can save a lot of money." ”
Qin said: "But is it dangerous to mine by yourself? That stone boss, if it gets hurt......"
As she spoke, she took Lu Er's hand with some concern, her eyes full of worry.
