It was still dark, and there was already a slight movement on the wild pier.

The earliest of the Lu family was Lu Xiaoli, and everyone was still asleep when she got up.

Lu Xiaoli lightly got on the bow of the boat, carried the stove to the front of the shed, and led the fire to boil the water.

Wait a little longer, my mother got up to cook, and the hot water was just boiling.

The Lu family's fishing boat is not large, one inner cabin is divided into front and rear, and the four of their sisters and brothers sleep in the back cabin.

The gangplank was removed when I slept at night, and it was not easy for others to get on the boat.

What's more, the boats here are next to each other, and there is a bit of wind and grass, and the boat next door can hear it.

Lu Quan and his family took Xiao Wu to sleep in the shack on the shore, and only when it was windy and rainy, they would go to the boat to squeeze it.

The originally small rear cabin was not big, but now, after picking up the little four, the four sisters and brothers slept together, and when they slept at night, they only felt that there were legs everywhere in the bed.

In this way, the place where they slept was much better than the room where their father and mother slept.

The house where the Lu family sleeps is said to be a house, but it is better to say that it is a shack.

The wall is made of old wooden planks and sticks, surrounded by a circle of reed mats, and the grass is covered with mud, even if it is a wall. The roof is even more rudimentary, with tree sticks in the shape of a chevron, covered with reed mats, and then pressed with sun-dried thatch, compacted layer by layer.

said that it was a house, but it could barely shelter from the wind and rain.

Lu Quan's original family background was not bad, because by the lake, several families with good family backgrounds had boats. Farming when you are busy, fishing when you are free, and life is smooth.

Unexpectedly, Zhuangzi was washed away by the flood overnight and drowned!

In those days, he and his wife took Xiaoqing to his father-in-law's house to help harvest rice and escaped, and when the two of them rushed back in the boat, the entire Zhuangzi was submerged in the flood, and the corpses of his father, mother, brothers and sisters were not seen.

Dozens of families in Zhuangzi, a big flood, only seven families including Lu Quan's family remained.

The only remaining jobs in the village are those who have boats, and in this way, not every family is neat, and those who can survive are lucky, and when the flood came, they were busy and got on the boat.

In order to survive, several families could only hold together and settle down on this wild wharf.

Fortunately, every family has a boat, and they can barely survive by fishing.

said that it was reluctant, and it was indeed very reluctant.

In recent years, none of these families have been able to settle down on the shore.

Everyone can only rely on the accumulation of weekdays, and build a shack on the shore, which can be regarded as a fixed nest that can be sheltered from the wind and rain.

In such a nest, they were allowed to build it only after spending money to buy land.

It doesn't cost money, they don't even have a place to build a nest.

The sky was slightly white, and Lu Xiaoli, who had been washed clean, took the cool breeze outside and lifted the curtain and entered the cabin.

Lu Xiaoqing turned over and sat up, leaning over to look at the sky outside the cabin: "So, early?" ”

"It's not early, I saw it just now, the Li family's boats are gone." Lu Xiaoli said and lifted the quilt on Lu Xiaoyu's body, "If you don't get up yet, Li Cancan will definitely go to pick reed leaves, if we don't go, we won't be able to pick reed leaves and sell them for money." ”

Yesterday, after selling reed leaves to buy meat and sharing money, and eating pig's intestine at night, Lu Xiaoli couldn't sleep in the middle of the night when he was excited.

She planned it, the four sisters and brothers got up early, picked a few more, and said that it was not impossible to sell for a hundred yuan.

Xiao Si disagreed, he said that it would definitely not be easy to sell today.

Lu Xiaoli doesn't believe it, why is it not good to sell?

There is still one day before the Dragon Boat Festival, and it should be better to sell.

Lu Xiaoyu and Lu Yangge were both woken up by Lu Xiaoli, and the two of them washed their faces and wiped their teeth with sleepy eyes. Lu Xiaoqing and Lu Xiaoli supported the boat and sailed away from the river.

There is no child of a fisherman who can't hold a boat.

Since the fourth child of the Lu family came home, in order for the fourth child to eat rice porridge, Lu Quan specially begged the steward of the dock to carry the bag.

Carrying a bag may not earn more than fishing, but it is more stable than fishing, as long as the dock manager is not embarrassed, at least you can see copper coins every day.

The money that the Lu family has saved over the years was spent by Lu Xiaosi taking medicine and drinking porridge in just half a month.

Lu Quan doesn't fish, and Qiu has to take care of Xiao Wu. The Lu family's ship is equivalent to being in the hands of the Xiaoqing and Xiaoli sisters.

The sun rose, and the Lu family sisters and brothers picked dumpling leaves and went to the dock market.

At this time, the market looks like it is full of dumpling leaves.

Not only did the aunt who sold vegetables next door pick a large basket full of zongzi leaves, but even the children of three of the seven families in the same wharf as their family picked zongzi leaves to sell.

Jiangba town is not small, but it is not big, because there is a wharf, and there are many merchants from the south to the north.

As the Dragon Boat Festival approaches, most people will choose to spend the holiday at home, and there are more than half of the boats on the pier than in the past.

There are few people and many dumpling leaves, and at the beginning, some people shouted that there were two handfuls of one penny, five handfuls of two pennies, and now there are also people selling three handfuls of one penny.

There are reed leaves on the riverbank, and you can go there if you have a boat, and if you don't have a boat, those smaller reed leaves on the riverbank are not unusable.

No matter how good the four Zongye of the Lu family are, they are just Zongye by the river beach, and they are not the only ones who have boats in Jiangba.

Yesterday, his family picked reed leaves and sold them to buy meat and bones, and everyone saw it.

Who can not be impressed.

Lu Xiaoli looked at the basket full of dumpling leaves in front of him, he hadn't sold a bundle for half a day, and he almost cried.

Just because she wanted to pick more dumpling leaves, she pulled her eldest sister Xiaoyu up before dawn. Just because she wanted to pick more zongzi leaves to earn money, but the fourth child wanted to cut the grass, and the sister and brother almost quarreled because of their different opinions.

In the end, it was the eldest sister who made the decision, she and the eldest sister picked dumpling leaves, and Xiaoyu and Xiaosi went to cut the mat grass.

Because there were only two baskets at home, Xiao Si took a bamboo basket to cut the mat grass, and she blamed Xiao Si at that time.

Because there is one less basket, there will be less rice dumpling leaves to sell.

Now, the dumpling leaves in front of him are still full of baskets of dumpling leaves, but half of the mat grass has been sold for the little four.

She's so stupid, how did she forget that she had to wrap zongzi leaves to be grass.

The mat grass is tough and elastic, because it can weave mats, it is called mat grass, and it will also be cut to tie up zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Even if you can't sell it, it's not impossible to take it back and weave mats for your father.

"Little Four,"

Lu Xiaoqing, as the eldest sister, saw that Lu Xiaoli looked like she was about to cry, and she couldn't bear it, so she came to Lu Yangge's side: "Sell, it's not finished, what should I do?" ”

If you can't sell it, won't it be in vain?

They are not afraid of hard work, but they think about the fact that they sold more than 60 wen yesterday and no one cares about it today, this sense of loss is really uncomfortable.

"Who told you not to listen to Xiao Si."

Lu Xiaoyu snorted angrily: "Xiaosi asked you to cut the grass, the second sister didn't listen, and quarreled with Xiaosi, if you can't sell it now, you can't sell it, we can't go home and pack it ourselves." ”

In fact, it's not impossible to pack it yourself, but their family is poor.

How can you afford to buy glutinous rice wrapped dumplings!

Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, the mother just wraps a few fake zongzi with reed leaves, and then cooks a chicken for each of the three sisters, which is already the best one.

"Sell as much as you want."

Lu Yangge took a mat and put it in his mouth, with a look of indifference: "If we can't sell it, we will buy glutinous rice and go back to wrap it ourselves." ”

Wrap it yourself, how can there be glutinous rice?

Lu Xiaoli opened his mouth and wanted to scare, but under Xiaoyu's fierce gaze, he endured it again.

It's that she didn't listen to Xiao Si's words, now the mat grass is easy to sell, but no one wants zongye, what qualifications does she have to choke with Xiao Si.

just, I felt uncomfortable.

I want to cry.
