"It's been so expensive for a long time."

Lu Xiaoli pulled a handful of weeds on the side of the road fiercely, "The new grain is coming down soon, and the grain is still rising so much, this is not leaving a way for the poor to live!" ”

The food is so high that when winter comes, the lake will freeze, and I don't know how many people will die of hunger and freeze.

Because they have bought land, have stored grain, and have a warm big house to live in, they must be able to survive this winter safely.

Around Kehong Lake, I don't know how many like they used to be fishermen.

When the weather is cold, these fishermen can't catch fish, can't afford to buy food, and don't even have a place to live.

"Thankfully, we bought food a long time ago, and now we have land."

Lu Quan sighed lowly, "Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to get through this winter!" ”

Not only did they buy grain, but they also bought land. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is slightly cooler, and autumn planting will begin.

As long as there are no major accidents, the wheat will be ripe before the Dragon Boat Festival next year, and there will be grain in hand at that time.

It's just that in this world, I don't know if they can live so peacefully.

"I've heard that a lot of people are making eel cages for sale."

Lu Xiaoli felt a little uncomfortable when he mentioned this, "Dad, most of those people used to work at our wild docks, and now they have started to make their own eel cages to sell, so won't no one buy our eel cages in the future?" ”

"It's okay."

Lu Quan waved his hand, "They are all poor people, and multiple crafts can always have multiple ways to live." ”

Lu Xiaoli couldn't help muttering: "You just be a good person!" ”

"Little carp." Lu Quan is rarely serious about the child, "Now our family has land, housing and food, and we are not afraid of hunger and cold." But most of the fishermen on the shore of Honghu Lake earn a little to eat, and if they can earn more money, they can buy more grain, and when they have food, they can survive the winter. Isn't this a matter of not being a good man, if they don't sell eel cages, others won't do it? Since others will do it, why do you want these people who used to help us earn money to put their money aside and not earn it? Just ask, can you do it if you are replaced? ”

"I ......"

Of course I can't.

Lu Xiaoli was stunned by Lu Quan, and his face suddenly became shy and dry, tears rolled in his eyes, but he didn't dare to make a sound.

Qiu Shi carried Xiao Wu on his back and didn't say a word, Lu Xiaoqing gently pulled Lu Xiaoli and pulled her aside, and Xiaoyu also stood silently on the other side of Lu Xiaoli.

Only Lu Yangge walked up to Lu Quan's side and asked deliberately: "Dad, you haven't forgotten to bring the two albums I gave you." ”

It was a gift she had spent several days and nights painting for the Li sisters.

With Lu Yangge interrupting, the atmosphere of the family has finally eased a lot.

Lu Quan and Qiu Shi were side by side, and Lu Yangge was talking as they walked.

The three little sisters of the Lu family walked behind their father and mother, and slowly slowed down.

Lu Xiaoqing comforted Lu Xiaoli in a whisper: "Little carp, don't cry, Dad is either angry with you, he is, or he is in a bad mood." ”

Lu Xiaoli secretly wiped a handful of tears, and replied angrily: "I didn't cry, I know that my father is not aiming at me." ”

Not only Lu Quan was in a bad mood, but the seven families in the entire wild wharf were not in a good mood today.

Shopkeeper Li left, the eel cage business stopped, and I don't know if the eel cage business can still be done when Shopkeeper Li comes again.

Although the land was bought, the house had not yet been built, and it cost money to buy seeds, farm tools, and houses everywhere.

There is also the news of the Red Tassel Army like a knife hanging over the head, and no one knows when it will fall.

When I entered Jiangjiaba, I found that the originally lively town was becoming more and more deserted.

Seeing that the autumn harvest is approaching, the villagers in the countryside are preparing for the autumn harvest, and several shops in the town are closed.

Lu Yangge passed in front of a shop, only turned his head to look at the dusty shop on the stone steps in front of the door, and continued to walk forward.

On the contrary, it was Lu Quan, who turned his head frequently, causing Qiu Shi to ask in a low voice: "Is this the shop you bought for Xiaosi?" ”

"Hmm." Lu Quan nodded.

At the end of last month, Shopkeeper Li introduced Xiao Si to a shop that can be used for trading in the front store and the back room, with three shops in the front, a courtyard in the middle, three main houses in the back, and a stove room on the east side.

The yard is not big, but it is neatly cleaned up, and a well has been drilled.

In previous years, no one would have sold such a shop.

The person who sold the house was introduced by the shopkeeper Li, and he was his hometown in Yangzhou. When I heard that the rebels were going to the capital, I felt that this Jiangjiaba was not very safe, and I thought that the whole family would move back to Yangzhou.

Shopkeeper Li introduced him to the Lu family, and with the facilitation of Shopkeeper Li, the shop that could have been sold for more than 100 taels was only sold for 88 taels.

Being able to buy a shop in the town made Lu Quan happy and worried.

Happily, I finally set up a shop for Xiao Si.

The worry is that seeing that the rebels are about to come, and many rich people have moved to other places, will something happen to his family buying a shop now?

The house is not like a boat, as long as you row the boat down the river when you run, you can go anywhere, but the house can't be moved and can't be taken away, and if it is confiscated by the rebels, what would be good.

At that time, Lu Yangge looked at the slightly depressed street and comforted Lu Quan: "It's okay, Dad, as long as the deed is mine, the house is mine, even if it is a rebel army, it will only run to the big city, who cares about the house and land in the countryside." ”

said so, but Lu Quan's heart was still up and down, and he only felt like a fire in his arms, which made his heart beat and his legs weak.

On the way back, he began to wander, and in the end, Lu Yangge persuaded him, anyway, we are going to live in the countryside, and this town will not come back for the time being, even if the rebel army comes, it will not go to the countryside.

I barely settled my heart.

Qiu couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "I don't know when this shop will open." ”

It's really distressing to spend so much money and let it fall into dust here.

"Alright, be quieter."

Lu Quan glanced around, and seeing that no one was paying attention to their family, he pulled Qiu's sleeve and hurriedly walked over.

The Lu family's purchase of a shop in the town, except for Lu Quan and Lu Yangge, only the Qiu family knows.

Not to mention those neighbors who get along day and night, even a few children in the family, Lu didn't tell them.

In this era of war and chaos, he can only keep peace by making a lot of money in a muffled voice, and he doesn't want to be targeted.

Wealth is moving, if the price of temptation is big enough, even Lu Quan can't guarantee that there will be someone he knows who stabs him in the back!

The shop that Lu Yangge bought was not the only one that closed in the town, and several shops were closed one after another during this time, including large restaurants and small shops.

These shops have one thing in common, that is, they are not opened by locals, but by some outsiders who come to Jiangjiaba to operate.

The news that the Red Tassel Army was coming over became more and more outrageous, and many rich families could not wait for the autumn harvest and began to send their families elsewhere early.
