He Laosan looked at a few babies, coughed lightly, and said sullenly: "Then I will ...... Don't go! ”

He is an honest character, and he usually doesn't communicate much with his children, so such a serious conversation is a little cramped.

He Zao glanced at Sibao.

The latter understood, pushed the jar forward, and whispered to Qibao: "Bring another jar." ”

When he was young, he sold burning jars to do a small business, but after earning some money, he concentrated on farming for He Lao Er to study, and no longer mentioned doing business, so the He family didn't have much, and the old jars were the most.

He Laosan also learned two hands.

Qibao ran out of the smoke and brought back a jar of the same size from under the wall, and when he returned, Sibao took a wooden clip and counted the scorpions one by one, and put them in another jar.

He Laosan and Chen seemed to understand what he meant, and they didn't say a word.

In the end, the total number was more than He had expected, and there were sixty-one, and most of them were large scorpions over seven or eight centimeters.

He quietly took the scale early and handed it to Sibao.

He Laosan stretched out his hand first: "I'll come." ”

As long as the size of the jar of the He family is the same, the weight is basically the same, the difference is very small, He Laosan weighed it, and removed the weight of the jar, and finally there was a pound and four taels high.

He Laosan also knew the market, and couldn't help but be a little excited: "The pound of scorpions collected in our town is about 1,000 yuan, plus four taels, these can be sold for 1,400 yuan, but it's a lot of money!" ”

He Zao reminded: "Dad, this is only the fourth brother alone, if you go around, Dad, you will be doubled." We didn't dare to come back too late, so we went around for almost an hour, and the road was not easy to walk, so we went around the mountain road, and did not go to the grass and forest, otherwise there would be more. ”

If it is really according to what He Zao said, then with him, they can wrap around three or four taels of silver in an hour, which is the profit of two pigs.

Zhuanghu's family, all year round, can save a few taels of silver is already very remarkable.

"Dad, we don't have much here, there are the most mountains, and there are still many people in the back mountains, go to the Nanhe River, there are a few shallow mountains in a row, there are many stones, and the scorpions must be a lot old."

Sibao also said with a smile.

Shallow mountain, is a unique name in Lujia Village, close to the village, means that there are no large beasts, it is relatively safe, behind the shallow mountain is a deep mountain old forest, hiding many beasts, ordinary people will not easily enter.

And the rocky mountain is the best habitat for scorpions.

"It's not a long time, just count the two months of Futian, and when it comes to collecting mountain goods after autumn, I don't want to go around." He Zao continued.

So if you want to earn this money, you have to hurry up and don't hesitate.

He Laosan was touched by several children. He looked at Chen and discussed, "Why don't we try to go up the mountain while it's dark?" ”

Sibao can go around so many times with one child, and it makes no sense that he has less strong labor than him.

At this time, going out to work for others is only a few dozen dollars a day at most, and it is too easy to go around the scorpion.

Chen was also a little hesitant, on the one hand, because the money was really exciting, on the other hand, it was because of the attitude of several children towards her, she felt that although she was strict with them, but in the end it was for their good, but they guarded her like a bad guy, which made Chen very sad, so he didn't have the strength to mix with these things, and asked lightly: "Then tell Grandpa Chun'er?" ”

Mrs. He will definitely not let them earn private money.

"Then let's sell it to him for milk...... It's ......" He noticed the gazes of several babies, and suddenly his heart was empty, and the last two words were very low.

"Dad, we have all discussed, and in the future, all the money we earn will be collected by Zao'er." Sibao, as an elder brother, is very brave to come forward.

He Chun'er and Qibao nodded solemnly: "Yes, father, mother, the money we earn is pocket money, let Zao'er keep it." ”

He Zao didn't expect them to say this, he was stunned, blinked his eyelashes with some tears, smiled slightly, and tried his best to pretend that nothing happened: "Dad, I think it's better to have more than one thing less, although we say that we are going to make money, but when we get to the milk, it will definitely make a mess, so it's better not to tell the family, and I don't know if I can sell it for money, so you hurriedly told the milk, and finally didn't get the money back, and the milk will definitely not have a good face!" ”

He Chun'er nodded in agreement with the three.

He Laosan thought of his mother's temperament, and felt that what He Zao said was really possible.

He thought about it again and made up his mind: "In this way, let's try it quietly first, and wait until the price is really sold." ”

But he had already decided in his heart that the money he earned would be handed over to the second elder, but the children had no obligation to support their grandmother, and what they earned was their pocket money.

Chen also knew his thoughts, and didn't say much.

He Zao lowered his eyes and pondered darkly.

This night, He Laosan's family fell asleep with excitement and excitement, except for the Chen family, of course.

He Laosan beside her was snoring loudly, but she was lying there tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and there was always a flash in front of her eyes that He Zao looked directly into her eyes, saying that she wanted to earn money to buy herself.

……

When he went out the next day, Qibao Beidi hid the jar containing the scorpion behind the bed in the inner room, covered it with a large fan, leaving a little gap, and followed his sister and brother out of the door as if they were happy.

He Tanger'er sat on the kang from the window of the upper room, staring at the figures of the sisters and brothers with unkind eyes. When he saw that he couldn't see anyone, he hurriedly put on his shoes and went out of the house.

Chan is busy in the kitchen.

She greeted: "Third sister-in-law, I'll go to your house to get a shoe and make shoes for my mother." ”

This is a common thing, and Chen didn't think much about it, so he agreed: "In the basket on the kang, you take a look." ”

He Tangerine sneered and entered He Zao's house.

She squinted her eyes and turned around the two inner rooms, and saw the hidden jar, she was very surprised, and hurriedly walked over to take down the pu fan, and when she looked at it, she was immediately disappointed. There were no more than two or three scorpions, crawling around in the black jar.

When she came back from the thatched house last night, she saw that the house of the third brother's house was closed, and the family huddled together as if they were whispering something, so she had a long heart, and she came here today to find clues.

Unexpectedly, it was a failure.

She muttered irritably, "I don't know what to do." "Walked out of the house.

It happened that Chen Shi came to meet her, and when he saw her empty-handed, he smiled: "What, didn't you find it?" ”

He Tangerine had forgotten about this stubble at all, but she was quite upright in front of Chen, and she was in a bad mood at this time, so she only glanced at her, snorted from her nostrils, and swaggered into the upper room.

Chen didn't bother with her, went into the house and found shoes and sent them to the upper room.

He Zao's side Sibao was covering his mouth and snickering: "Second sister, you said that my sister-in-law would really come into our house to search?" ”
