Chapter 72: Eating Sugar
When Qiu came out of the west stove room, Lu Yangge was squatting at the door of the backyard, watching a few children buy maltose around a merchant.
Not every child has copper money to buy maltose, and the merchant is not limited to anything, as long as the child can take out the grain, chickens or other food, basically can be exchanged for a large or small maltose block.
Qiu Shi came out and looked at Lu Xiaosi, who was squatting on the ground and watching people eat maltose, and couldn't help but soften his heart: "Xiaosi, my mother will buy you a piece of maltose sweet mouth." ”
"Mother, I won't eat, let's go back."
She's not a child, she wants something sweet.
Lu Yangge actually doesn't like to eat sugar, and the uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters who came to the welfare home when he was a child all like to bring candy.
A bag of candy can divide many children.
In their eyes, the children in these welfare homes are orphans, and they are very pitiful.
People who have a hard life can only eat some sugar to feel the sweetness of life.
Lu Yangge said that he would not eat it, but Qiu still spent three cents to buy a large piece of palm, and asked the merchant to cut it into several small pieces with a knife and wrap it in oiled paper: "If you don't like to eat, go back and eat with your eldest sister and second sister." ”
How can there be a child who doesn't like to eat sugar, Xiaosi said that she doesn't eat it, but she is sensible.
"Thank you, mother."
Lu Xiaosi took the candy and followed Qiu's kick and tap to go home.
has her mother's favor, in fact, she does not refuse to eat sugar.
In the past few days, the Qiu family has come to Fushun to teach Taoshan and Master Li in Yangzhou to cook, and Lu Yangge has become Qiu's little follower.
"Mother, what about my father who said he wanted to buy land and build a house?"
"How can land be so easy to buy." Qiu sighed, "Our family doesn't have much money, those big families want to sell a Zhuangzi, and those small families can only sell one acre of land and two acres of land, most of them are bought by the rich families in the village, and it is not our turn." ”
"Oh."
Lu Yangge lowered his head, looked at the stone road under his feet, and thought, it's okay not to sell, if the rebel army comes, everyone will have no time to flee, and when the time comes, I don't know who will be cheaper than the land bought and the new house built.
However, she was not prepared to tell Qiu and Lu Quan what Shopkeeper Li said.
These two people are honest and responsible countrymen.
I couldn't sleep day and night with a few hundred taels of silver, and I had to get up several times a night to check it. If they knew that the Red Silk Army was uprising in Huaicheng and would be called when the autumn harvest came, it is estimated that these two people would not even dare to sleep at night.
Lu Yangge didn't think about escaping.
But she inquired privately, the household registration is here, and there is no way to guide them, so they can't go anywhere as a family.
You can only take one step at a time, and wait for the rebel army to come over.
Qiu walked in front, wondering if the little five in the family were crying, and his steps were a little big.
Lu Yangge followed behind, thinking about his thoughts, and walked slower and slower.
Unconsciously, the distance between the two of them became wider and wider, and no one noticed it.
Passing by the Xie family pharmacy, Dr. Xie was sitting at the table inside the door and beckoned to Lu Yangge: "Lu Xiaosi, come here." ”
Since the last time, Lu Quan went to Nanyang and came back to pick up someone, and Dr. Xie said that it might be the Red Silk Army, so let him send the land temple there. Later, the pavilion chief took two more errands and went to the wild dock to search for people, and Lu Yangge was a little panicked with Dr. Xie.
I don't know why, she always feels that Dr. Xie may not be as simple as he seems.
Lu Yangge glanced at Qiu, who was walking away, and reluctantly stepped on the steps of the pharmacy: "Doctor Xie, do you have something to do with me?" ”
When Dr. Xie saw Lu Xiaosi approaching, he asked with a smile: "Xiaosi, did you see the person your father saved last time?" ”
At the moment, there was no one in the shop, the old doctor Xie led his grandson to dry herbs in the backyard, and Mrs. Xie led her two daughters to do needlework in the house.
In the entire pharmacy, only Dr. Xie was guarded alone.
Lu Xiaosi had just crossed the threshold with one foot, and before he could bring one foot in, he was stunned when he heard the words: "Doctor Xie, didn't you take it away?" My dad and I never saw each other again! ”
"Didn't you see it?"
Doctor Xie looked puzzled, "I did ask your father to send people to the Land Temple that day, but then the town checked strictly, so I didn't have time to go, and I didn't see anyone later!" I thought it was your father and son who brought it back. ”
"No, after sending it to the Land Temple, I went back, and the pavilion chief took someone to the wild dock to check, my father was scared to death, how dare he go back to find someone." Lu Yangge said it, but his heart trembled suddenly.
When the pavilion chief led people to search the wild wharf that day, she suspected that it was Dr. Xie who showed his mouth, otherwise it would have been a coincidence, she and her father went back to the pavilion chief and took the two messengers to the wild wharf.
Later, Lu Quan also took the silver and sent it to the Xie family pharmacy.
At that time, it was the old Dr. Xie who was in the shop, saying that there was no one in the store, and that Dr. Xie had gone to the countryside for a medical visit and would not be in the store for the next two days.
Lu Quan came again two days later, but the old doctor Xie still said that Dr. Xie did not come back from the consultation.
That's it.
Dr. Xie said that he did not receive anyone, and the elder Dr. Xie said that there were no drowning and injured patients in the store.
Are these father and son telling the truth or a lie?
Now, when Dr. Xie asked her if she had seen that person, was he talking to her?
Lu Yangge's little brain turned quickly, but his face was not obvious at all, and he asked innocently: "Doctor Xie, will that person die, have you looked around?" ”
"I'm looking for it, I really haven't seen anyone."
Doctor Xie waved his hand, looking slightly sick, "I thought this person was taken back by your father, since he didn't go back, he probably was rescued." ”
"It's best to save them, as long as the person doesn't die."
Lu Xiaosi was still standing outside the door with half of his body, as if he was ready to leave at any time, "My father is still worried about it, saying that he came to ask Doctor Xie in the past two days." When he came before, it was Dr. Xie who was there, saying that you had gone to the countryside for a medical visit. ”
"Well, I've been to the countryside these days, and I just came back yesterday. When I came back, I heard my father say that your father had come twice, and I realized that this person was gone. This person too, it's been a few days, and I haven't seen any news. Could it be that such a great life-saving grace is just that? ”
"What a life-saving grace."
Lu Xiaosi finally lifted his feet and entered the door, "My father said, they fishermen, don't say they see people, even if a pig falls in the water, they have to catch it and send it to someone's house." Otherwise, this heart can't eat the bite of fishing. ”
"Also, your father and mother are well-wishers."
Dr. Xie changed the subject and asked, "I see that you have been running with your mother to the dock for the past two days, are you going to the dock to sell fish?" I heard that your father is not fishing in Honghu Lake now, and he goes to the river every night to lay nets, is there more fish in the river than in Honghu? ”
It is not convenient to go to Fushun from the wild wharf, because Jiangjiaba is a straight street, and it is necessary to pass through large and small shops along the way from the town, including Xiejia Pharmacy.
In the past few days, Lu Yangge has been accompanying the Qiu family to and from Fushun. The mother and son were thinking about the long fish dish in their hearts, and they didn't pay much attention to the Xie family pharmacy.
On the contrary, it was Dr. Xie, who sat at the door every day to see a doctor and grab medicine, and he could basically notice the people walking around the town.
