Chapter 53: Trouble

The Lu family caught two buckets of long fish.

The news was like the wind, blowing in the wild docks, and those who were out to collect their nets had not yet returned, and the women who were at home mending the nets and watching the children heard the news first.

"Two buckets of long fish?"

Really?

Some people didn't believe it, but some people got up and stood on tiptoe to look in the direction where the child was running.

If it's two barrels of fish, how much silver do you have to sell for!

Originally, this matter would not have made such a big fuss.

Early in the morning, Lu Quan said that he would go with Xiaosi to collect the eel cage, and Lu Xiaoli also wanted to follow, but Qiu didn't let him.

Because he didn't go to collect the eel cage, Lu Xiaoli waited at the dock early in the morning.

When Lu Quan and Xiaosi came back with the bucket, Lu Xiaoli rushed over to look, slipped and fell under his feet, tripping Lu Quan stumbled, the wooden barrel in his right hand was firmly on the ground, but the wooden barrel in his left hand shook for a while, and five long fish of different sizes came out of the bucket.

Lu Xiaoli was in trouble, but he didn't dare to squeak, he didn't even have time to cry, so he and Lu Quan were busy catching long fish when they got up.

The long fish is very slippery, and even on the shore it is not so easy to catch.

By the time the father and son finally caught a long fish and sent it back to the bucket, the plum cans who were playing nearby had already gathered around with a few children.

However, two long fish slipped into the river along the barren grass along the embankment and could never be found again.

"You say it'......"

Finally sent away a wave of people who came to see Changyu, Qiu's face changed, and he beat Lu Xiaoli as soon as he took off his shoes.

Lu Quan said nothing with a cold face, this girl is becoming more and more disagreeable, and she really owes a beating.

Lu Xiaoqing and Lu Xiaoyu shrank together in fright, not daring to move, let alone persuade them.

Lu Xiaoli was really in trouble this time, and they were all distressed when they thought of the long fish that slipped away.

That's a long fish, and the two of them will sell for at least ten or twenty wen when they come to Fushun.

Qiu took off his shoes and snapped on Lu Xiaoli's body a few times, making Lu Xiaoli jump in pain, but he gritted his teeth and didn't dare to say anything.

This matter is indeed her fault, and it is not wrong for her mother to beat her.

"Mother, mother......"

Seeing that the Qiu family was still going to fight, Lu Yangge hurriedly rushed over and hugged Qiu's arm: "Mother, the second sister knows that she is wrong, don't fight." ”

Qiu and Lu Quan both have good tempers, and there are almost no children from poor families who are not beaten, only the Lu family, and they have never seen two people lose their temper with their children.

This time, Qiu was really angry.

Not to mention that the long fish ran away, so many people knew that his family caught two buckets of long fish and came back, so they didn't need to ask, and they also knew that it was related to the eel cage that Xiao Si carried out yesterday.

Yesterday, Xiao Si went to the eel cage without carrying anyone, and today the two of them came back, Lu Quan carried the wooden barrel, and Xiao Si slipped the eel cage, and everyone saw it.

As long as you have a heart, that thing is not difficult, and sooner or later you have to be learned.

"You say, do you think you should fight?"

The more Qiu thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, put down his shoes, wiped his face, and cried with a whimper.

The family is poor, although the Ding family has money to do business, but it also has to have a business, and only one percent. This time, I finally had a way to make money, and this dead girl just leaked out.

Lu Quan was also unhappy, but seeing the little carp being beaten, he was also a little reluctant.

Lu Yangge pushed Lu Quan and glanced at him: "Dad, you go to Fushun to sell the long fish, and Uncle Li will come back when they collect the net." ”

The people who came to the boat just now to see the excitement were all women and children, if they didn't sell it now, when the men who collected the fishing nets came back, Lu Quan would not be able to leave.

When the time comes, these two buckets full of long fish will be even more eye-catching.

Lu Quan was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Xiao Si meant, he was still honest after all, and turned around to look at Lu Yangge with the barrel: "Xiao Si, what should I do with this loach?" ”

It is said that there are two buckets of long fish, but in fact, there are also loaches and some small trash fish in them.

"Keep the loaches at home to eat, pick them out and raise them, spit out the mud, and they can eat them in two days."

Besides, the loaches stay, put some water in the wooden basin and raise them when the time comes, and when someone comes to see it, they may think that what the wife and children said is a bit exaggerated.

There are two buckets, no, and loaches.

"Hey, then keep it."

Lu Quan's words to Lu Yangge were simply obedient.

Putting aside Lu Yangge's identity, Lu Yange in Lu Quan's eyes is tantamount to a prodigy from now on.

Lu Xiaoqing saw that Qiu was still crying, Lu Xiaoli knelt straight and didn't dare to move, and gently pulled Lu Xiaoyu, and the young ladies slipped to the wooden basin and began to help Dad pick up the poured long fish back into the wooden bucket.

Lu Quan carried two buckets of long fish to the town, and he didn't dare to stop all the way, walking fast and urgently.

Aunt Li, who was originally staying on the boat and wanted to talk to Lu Quan, shouted Lu Quan twice, but he didn't look back, just lowered his head and went to the town.

"Phew."

Aunt Li was so angry that she spat into the water: "Didn't you catch a few long fish, and the tails are all up to the sky." ”

The woman next to her immediately laughed embarrassedly twice when she heard this, is this a few long fish?

That's two barrels, dozens of them, right?

Seeing Lu Quan out of the cabin, Lu Yangge rubbed to Qiu's side again: "Mother, the eel cage must be washed and dried, otherwise it won't be used at night, so I'll wash it with my eldest sister?" ”

said that she and her eldest sister went to wash, but they didn't move under their feet, waiting for Qiu to speak.

"No, I'll wash it."

Qiu wiped his face, put down his apron, and didn't look at Lu Xiaoli.

She is not worried about the two children doing things, not because she is afraid that they will not do well. The eel cage should be dried after washing, and it should not be dried on the bow of the boat, and if the faceless and skinless man came to the ship to take a look, his family's craft would not be learned.

The child doesn't understand, she is very clear as an adult.

Lu Yangge immediately took Qiu's arm and smiled flatteringly: "I'll accompany my mother." ”

Before leaving the cabin door, Lu Yangge glanced at Lu Xiaoqing: "Eldest sister, you and the second sister don't forget to dig earthworms." ”

At night, the eel cage is used to use earthworms, otherwise the long fish will not burrow into it stupidly.

The two of them went out of the cabin, leaving only the three sisters inside, and babbling Lu Xiaowu in the cradle.

"Pop" a tear fell on the board, followed by drop after drop.

Lu Xiaoli couldn't hold back any longer, slumped on the ground, hugged his knees and cried.

"Mother."

Lu Yangge saw that Qiu Shi just brushed the eel cage and ignored her, so he simply took off his shoes, sat on the side of the boat, rolled up his trousers and prepared to play in the water.

"Whoever told you to play in the water, put it on."

Qiu raised his hand and patted Lu Yangge's back, glaring at her angrily: "You are still young, you can't stand the cold." ”

"Okay."

Lu Yangge was determined to be a child who would not let Qiu's worry about, so he obediently got up and put down his trousers and put on his shoes.

"These two girls...... It's getting more and more ridiculous. Qiu sighed: "Little four, you ......"

She wanted to say, don't worry about your second sister.

But she really can't say this, how old is the little four, and how old is the little carp.

How did she raise such an ignorant girl.

Thinking about it, Qiu felt uncomfortable and angry.

I really wronged Xiaosi, what a good child, I used to live a life of fine clothes and food, and I suffered in her family, but I never said a word.

She had never seen such a good child, sensible and smart.
