Xiao Xu hurriedly poured out the gastrodia, the gastrodia was indeed not planted very well, obviously malnourished, so he could only collect according to the money for the seeds, five yuan and ten catties, a total of twenty-two catties, and then deduct the five catties of seeds given at the beginning, there are still seventeen catties left.

Xiao Xu's hand crackled on the abacus, and the old bull's heart was about to be broken, but Xiao Xu took out eight yuan and five cents from the money box and handed it to the old bull.

The old bull's eyes were almost like bull's eyes, and he could still have money to get it, which was amazing.

"Uncle Niutou, what's wrong with you, you don't want any money." Xiao Xu asked.

"Give me another eight dollars of seeds." The old cow took out a five-cent sheet, slapped the eight yuan on the counter, and said vividly.

"Cheng, Uncle Niu Tou is mighty."

Xiao Xu shouted that the old bull head was mighty, but the person didn't move, thought about it and said: "Uncle Niutou, don't plant this year, come and get the seeds in March and April next year, otherwise the weather in winter will be too cold, and you won't be able to take care of it." ”

After all, artificial breeding and natural gastrodia are different, and if the conditions do not allow, it is better not to plant, so Xiao Xu doesn't want the old cow head to be deceived.

The old bull shook his head for a moment, but he instinctively felt that what Xiao Xu said must be right, people are experts in collecting and selling medicines, and they will not pit themselves.

After collecting the money and being polite, I drove the ox cart to my home, which is really good, I earned eight yuan and five cents today, which is comparable to the income of the old cow walking back and forth for a month.

"Erlang, Erlang, I saw that Sanlang and Uncle Lin Hai's family dug up gastrodia and sold it in the town, let's dig it too." Da Lang stood at the door of Erlang's room and shouted.

During this time, the two brothers also devoted themselves to the backyard these days, watering and fertilizing every day, watching in the morning and watching in the evening, and they were full of energy.

Erlang heard Da Lang's call, and hurriedly opened the door and walked out, finally it was time to harvest, he was a little impatient, you must know that Limin was slapped by San Lang, and it cost more than five yuan to see that his ears were almost cost.

The two came to the backyard, picked up the shovel and began to dig gastrodia, but when they dug out the gastrodia from the mud pit, they were all stunned.

"Ah, what's going on, what's wrong?"

Erlang was in a hurry, and hurriedly dug up all the gastrodia in the ground, but as a result, all the heavens that were snatched from Sanlang's field were wiped out, and none of them survived.

Lu Qing, who lived in Shiro's house, witnessed all this, and wanted to look up to the sky and laugh, let you rob my family's gastrodia, you must know that there is a secret to planting gastrodia.

I think that Tian Tian taught them by word and deed, and taught them over and over again, you Dalang Erlang didn't even have a seedbed for planting gastrodia, and he still wanted to plant gastrodia.

There is also gastrodia that originally relied on the honey ring fungus to provide nutrition, but the eldest and second uncle were stupid enough to snatch the seeds of gastrodia and discard the honey ring fungus covering the seeds of gastrodia.

It is important to know that at the beginning, the honey ring fungus survives by absorbing the nutrients of gastrodia, and when the honey ring fungus grows up, it continuously absorbs nutrients from the surroundings, and then comes into contact with the tubers of gastrodia, which in turn provides nutrients for the continuous growth of gastrodia.

Erlang stood up, looked at Da Lang who was in a daze, and his father and mother who opened their mouths wide and didn't know what to say, and then looked at Lu Qing, who was smiling at the corners of his mouth and full of sarcasm, and his heart sank suddenly.

He walked up to Lu Qing with an arrow step, and asked in an unkind tone: "Lu Qing, you must know the reason why gastrodia can't be raised, tell me, what did you do wrong?" ”

Lu Qing took a step back, the taste of sarcasm became stronger, and he pointed to his face and said, "Why, the second uncle is going to slap me too, I want to deaf my left ear or my right ear, come on, hit here." ”

"You kid, your second uncle just asked you, where will he beat you, say it quickly." Grandma Lu is unhappy, if Tianma can make money these days, she will also have a share.

"Milk, we are separated, you see that I live in the fourth uncle's house, you can eat and drink, and the firewood used to burn the kang is all my own, I didn't turn a single firewood into your family, a drop of water, don't tell you what's wrong." Lu Qing patted the dust on his clothes and said.

Old Man Lu didn't say anything, they didn't take care of it, not to mention that he also took 500 yuan for the third room, and they all said that they had a soft mouth and a short hand, so they still didn't care about this matter.

took out the cigarette pouch pole and began to light a cigarette, took a deep breath and said to Lu Qing: "Go back and tell your father, tomorrow is the day when his sister will carry the dowry, you all come over early." ”

Lu Qing glanced at his grandfather in surprise, and when he saw his grandfather's smiling eyes, he couldn't help but feel strange, how did grandpa become so easy to talk.

However, Lu Qing still nodded, pulled his legs and ran to the foot of the mountain, tomorrow the sister-in-law will carry the dowry, and the day after tomorrow will be the day when the sister-in-law will go out, and his father Saburo will add makeup to the sister-in-law.

After San Lang got the news, he groaned for a while, and went to the kitchen to get a piece of bacon, and planned to bring it over tomorrow to add makeup.

Da Lang and Erlang also went back to the house separately, this time they didn't eat the chickens and rice, they didn't catch anything, and the relationship with San Lang was completely stiffened.

Especially Erlang, not only did he completely cut off contact with Saburo, but even Limin's ears didn't seem to be as good as before, and he lost a lot.

Erniang was still rummaging through her dowry box, and said with a sigh: "The things I have here are all newly purchased, and it's a great loss to add makeup to that dead girl." ”

Erlang looked at the contents of the dowry box, there was a new set of his clothes, as well as a set of new clothes and three pairs of new shoes from Erniang, which were the cotton shoes that Erniang made for her three children this winter.

"I'll get it out for a dime." Jiro said.

"A dime"

Erniang was a little surprised, it was your sister-in-law who carried the dowry, this dime seems, as if, but it is not her own sister-in-law, even if it is her own sister-in-law, it is only a matter of two cents.

At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, someone from the town came to carry the dowry, and Shiro also came to help Lu Xiaomei carry the dowry today, you must know that this brother-in-law is still his choice.

This brother-in-law's name is Wang Jianguo, and he looks pretty good, but his family is too poor, his father died early, leaving only his mother to bring up their sister and brother, and his sister Wang Jianxia also married and had children a few years ago, leaving only him and his mother in the family.

Just when their life was slowly getting better, the old lady's illness not only took her life, but also took away all the family's money by the way.

Seeing that Wang Jianguo could barely eat, Wang Jianxia lent money to his younger brother to buy a position as a temporary worker in a fertilizer factory, and as for the borrowed money, he could only let his younger brother pay it back slowly in the future.
