Chapter 20: Cents

Lu Yangge counted the copper plates on the table, "It took forty wen, and there are twenty-five wen left." ”

When Lu Xiaoli heard this, he couldn't help but cover his chest.

Some distressed!

Lu Yangge counted fifteen copper coins and handed them to Qiu: "These fifteen pieces are for my mother." ”

"Mother, don't."

Qiu Shi hurriedly pushed away: "Mother can't ask for your money, you can keep it for yourself to buy food." ”

The family has no money for Xiao Si to spend, how can Xiao Si take the money she earns by herself.

Let the children keep it for themselves, and if they are hungry, they can go to town and buy a cookcake to nibble on, or buy a candy cube to sweeten their mouths.

"Mother."

Lu Yangge handed the fifteen texts to Qiu again: "Put it away and save it, doesn't my mother want to change the house?" After that, our family also went to the shore to buy land and build a house. ”

Buying land and building a house, this is Qiu's dream!

Over the years, she has been working hard to fish and weave nets, and she wants to save more money so that she can have a small house of her own on the shore.

Even if it is a very small building, with mud walls and thatched roofs, as long as it can shelter from the wind and rain, there is no need for the family to huddle in this shack and shiver in the winter.

There is no need to let her weak child, in the cold wind of winter, in her arms, a little cold.

"This ...... This ......"

Looking at the little hand in front of him, Qiu glanced at Lu Quan at a loss, and when he saw him nodding, he took the fifteen copper coins.

"Okay, the mother will collect it for you, if you want to use the money, just ask the mother to get it."

Last time, the little boy who sent Xiao Si gave two hundred taels of silver, and he also received it from her.

Xiaosi said that she was still young, and she was afraid of losing it on her body, so she let her take care of it.

She discussed with the head of the family that this money must not be moved casually, it must be left to Xiaosi, and it can be used as a dowry when she gets married in the future.

Hearing what her mother said, Lu Xiaoli pursed her lips with some dissatisfaction, since she was a child, she and her eldest sister and younger sister have never seen a penny.

She knew that her mother was the most eccentric, liked Xiao Si the most, and kept everything for Xiao Si.

But because he's a boy......

Lu Yangge flicked the remaining ten copper coins in front of him, and Lu Xiaoli's eyes were eager to stick to the copper coins. In the sunlight near the hatch of the ship, Lu Xiaoqing lowered his head and was sewing Xiaoyu's torn gown today, while Lu Xiaoyu was thinking about the pig's intestine in the pot, squatting in front of the stove at the bow of the boat without moving, and did not even enter the hatch.

She doesn't care if there is no money. Lu Xiaoyu only cares about whether the pig's large intestine in the pot is delicious or not, and whether it is fragrant or not.

In the boat next door, Li Cancan was lying on the side of the boat, stretching his neck to look this way. If it weren't for the fact that each family's boat had to go in and out of the waterway, he might have lifted his feet.

Seeing the way Li Cancan wanted to come, the little girl removed the pedal for going ashore at home.

If I kill you if I am hungry, I will not give you food.

She remembered that the last time Li Cancan's mother brought him a piece of baked cake, he sat at the door and nibbled little by little in front of her.

He licked off the sesame seeds one by one.

A piece of baked cake for three cents, and the plum jar sat at the door and gnawed on it for a day.

Now, when her family eats meat, she doesn't show it to Li Cancan. If it weren't for the wind, Lu Xiaoyu wouldn't even want to cover the smell and not smell it for the plum can.

Lu Yangge divided the ten coins into three parts: "These ten copper coins, four for the eldest sister and four for the second sister." ”

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoqing hurriedly raised his head: "Me? No, don't. ”

She has never earned money, let alone spent it, and she doesn't know how to spend this money for her.

"Of course, you deserve it." Lu Yangge pointed to the remaining two copper coins, "These two bought candy for Xiaoyu, and she also helped, but it was not as much as the credit of the eldest sister and the second sister, so it was divided into two pennies." ”

Lu Xiaoli looked at Lu Yangge and asked hesitantly, "Then, what about you?" ”

Although Xiao Si didn't pick reed leaves, didn't wash reed leaves, and didn't even mention the basket once, he came up with the idea of selling reed leaves.

He also went to sell reed leaves together, why didn't Xiaosi give himself a share of the money?

Lu Yangge grinned, her little face was black, and her lips were red and white: "Of course, my credit is the greatest, I divide it into twenty yuan." ”

"How much?"

Lu Xiaoli immediately exploded, she looked at the copper coins that had been divided on the table, how could there be twenty wen, did they still want to paste it upside down?

There are only twenty-five texts left, and the fourth child has to divide twenty texts, which is too much.

She wanted to say, no matter how great your credit is, you can't divide it into thirty yuan.

It was she and her eldest sister who picked and washed the reed leaves, and they did the most and worked the hardest.

Xiaomei does more things than Xiaosi, but she watches, Xiaosi only moves her mouth and doesn't do anything the whole time, except when she sells reed leaves.

But she can sell reed leaves as simple as that, too.

"Yes, it's true that Xiao Si has the most credit."

Glaring at the second girl, Qiu handed the copper coins in his hand to Lu Yangge: "You take this first, and then I will get you five wen later." ”

"My twenty wen has already spent."

Lu Yangge pushed Qiu's hand back again, "We negotiated to buy pig's feet and pig bones today, and this money is not counted." I bought cloth and materials, I spent copper money to buy them, and I can't count them as your share."

The twenty wen she deserved just happened to buy cloth for Xiao Wu, and she also bought big materials.

Lu Xiaoqing raised her head and wanted to say, then I don't want money, and I will give my mother the money I earn.

Her eyes first fell on Lu Xiaoli, who was reluctant to put down the four pennies, and swallowed back what she was about to say: "Then, then I, too, save money to buy pig's feet." ”

Give it to your mother.

If the mother eats more pig's feet, she will have milk, so that the younger brother will not have to starve.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoli no longer wondered why Lu Yangge was divided into twenty texts or two texts. No matter how much he shared, he didn't lose a single point in his hands, which made her a little embarrassed.

"Then I will also save money to buy pig's feet for my mother and make clothes for my younger brother."

She also wants to buy flowers, buy candy cubes, and if she has more money, she wants to make new clothes like her younger brother.

"Hey, no, no...... Good boys, you are all good boys. ”

Qiu put the fifteen pennies into the money bag and put it away, thinking that he would sneak it to Xiao Sidian when he turned around.

Can't have a few sisters who have money, she doesn't.

Lu Yangge didn't care about his personal floating thoughts, and looked outside: "Mother, look at the pig's intestine, I'm hungry." ”

She doesn't care about money, but she wants to get the whole family used to her way of distribution.

Those who can work harder.

"Alright, it must be alright."

Lu Xiaoyu, who was squatting in front of the stove and did not move, heard the sound, and looked at Lu Yangge with sparkling eyes: "It's been a long time, I can smell the fragrance." ”

As she spoke, she sniffed, her face intoxicated.

Well, this is the smell of meat, even if it smells a little bit, she thinks it smells good.

The Lu family hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

Not only the Lu family, but also this small wild wharf are all poor fishers.

I didn't starve to death in the famine year, which is a blessing.

The pig's large intestine is made according to Lu Yangge's requirements, and it is already very flavorful when it is marinated.

When Qiu was cutting the sections, a child stuffed a piece in his mouth, which was fragrant and hot, and chewed in his mouth sticky and chewy.

It's delicious, it's delicious.

Seeing that the little fish was scalded and inhaled, the little hand held the chin for a long time, and he was reluctant to spit out the meat in his mouth.

Qiu Shi couldn't hold back the redness in his eyes and lowered his head.

It's so good, since Xiao Si came, this day seems to be getting more and more promising.
