Chapter 49: Moving
Seeing the anxious look of the younger brother's red face, everyone laughed, and even Father Luo couldn't help but speak.
"Why are you so arrogant, when you get married and build a house, how young you are, why should you keep it."
"Anyway, you can't rob me, I want to be neighbors with my second brother." The younger brother said aggrievedly, "Didn't the second brother say that the daughter-in-law would build a house, and I will build it next year." ”
Uncle Luo Shitang quipped: "You three brothers all came out to build a house, don't your father and mother want it?" ”
The younger brother touched his head and said, "I'll build more and take my eldest mother to live in a brick house together." ”
The laughter paused for a few seconds, and then erupted into a louder commotion.
The master was full of emotion, touched his beard and said: "The bad bamboo produces good bamboo shoots, but I didn't expect that the river baby also raised a lot of good sons." ”
Daddy Luo's smile froze on his face, but he couldn't say a word, Luo Shitang was even more embarrassed, regretting that he didn't speak the door, which made his brother unable to get off the stage.
Look at the novelty of the people, three or five left, and the huge new house is only left with Luo Lao Dad Luo Lao Niang and the eldest sister, second sister and younger sister.
"You really don't want to go home for another two days?" Daddy Luo finally couldn't hold it back, "Since you built the house, you have been in the shack for a month or two, and you haven't been back for many days." ”
The old house is really not as comfortable as the wilderness, don't look at the shack built of wood and bamboo, but the bedroom, bathroom, and toilet are all very bright, not better than a large family squeezed together?
Besides, I haven't eaten at the same table with my eldest brother and sister-in-law for a long time, and I'm afraid I won't be able to review my feelings.
"Forget it." Luo Xueyun put his hands behind his back and said, "The shack and stove have not been demolished yet, it is very convenient, I will easily clean up the new house, ventilate it, and live in it on a good day, and it will be troublesome to move around." ”
"It's been like this since ancient times, I just didn't expect that after you said you were going to leave that day, you wouldn't come back."
Daddy Luo's voice trembled a little: "Uncle Luo is right, I didn't be a good father, I never knew how to raise children, I just thought that I could mix rice soup to bring up the children, even if I was worthy of the ancestors and ancestors......"
"Dad." Mrs. Luo pulled her husband.
The eldest sister looked at each other, they had never seen their hard-tempered father, who was so weak, even if he was injured by a shovel and sickle, he didn't say a word about blood.
"The three sons and three daughters are all raised so big, enough to face the ancestors." Luo Xueyun interrupted Daddy Luo's sensationalism, "It's just that in the world, you never live just for others, and if the eagle grasps it too tightly, it will gradually lose its wings and starve to death in the nest sooner or later." ”
He turned his head to his father and smiled slightly: "Parents should be happy to see their son flying in the sky, from now on, don't you have to worry about him, isn't it a good thing?" Why bother with what is already in the past. ”
"You're right, our family can produce a son and grandson of a strong grandfather and a better ancestor, that is, when you go to the mountain and go to the grave, you have to recite two sentences to your ancestors, I have a light on my face, why shouldn't I think about it."
Father Luo's eyes were red, but he laughed: "When do you move, your mother and I will prepare things for you." ”
"No, I've ordered them all from the city, tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans."
"These things, we can't look down on you when we buy them, just according to the old rules, prepare some items from your hometown, tell your hometown that the child has moved, and come to take care of it diligently."
"Just two or three days." Luo Xueyun said casually.
What he didn't expect was that he missed the auspicious day of the next two days, and a cigarette on the yellow calendar said that it was forbidden to move to a new house, and only on the twenty-second day, the tail of the seventh month of the Gregorian calendar was considered an auspicious day.
First, after he cultivated, he had more respect for the time and place, and secondly, he insisted on good days and auspicious days at the beginning, and when he suddenly changed his course, it was not in line with his character of having a beginning and an end, so he simply waited for two more days.
In these days, the first cabbage planted in large quantities on the slope has reached the picking standard, Luo Xueyun took the second sister to harvest and market as planned, and sent the real tickets to those uncles and brothers.
The hesitation and worry of men, women and children completely disappeared as the gross tickets arrived.
"One penny per catty, according to my experience, one acre of land can harvest three thousand to four thousand catties, each of our families has three to four acres of land, and we can plant three crops in two months, and each family can get about 180 yuan per month."
Luo Xueyang helped carry the vegetable bags and said with a smile: "Do you think you can make money?" ”
"You'll count."
Luo Shicheng, as the uncle of the uncles, was naturally indispensable for the first harvest, and after counting the tickets, he watched everyone busy with a chrysanthemum-like smile on his face.
"The land poverty on our slope, the most wheat harvest per mu is my old three, four hundred and twenty catties, some of the stones are only three hundred and fifty sixty, and the wheat that was dried and dried last month was only given one mao six per catty.
How many gaps there are, do you really think I'm old and confused? ”
Their gratitude to Luo Xueyun is indeed from the bottom of their hearts, the grain is widely planted and harvested, and they ask for money all the way from seed to harvest, but it is not worth it when they are sold.
Many families have paid all kinds of fees, even to the point of borrowing food to live!
No matter how old Luo Shicheng is, he can feel this change, and the time has come when money is more important than food.
It was also at this juncture that he understood his uncle's hard work, why he scolded him in all kinds of ways, and asked the people of Quanpo to be polite to Luo Xueyun, because he was not only the God of Wealth, but also the savior!
At this point, the old man can see it clearly.
If you change your mind to learn to move, even if you don't have any money, you have to express it.
At the end of the month in the blink of an eye, Father Luo brought his family over early to help his son with the moving ceremony.
Since Luo Xueyun knew the rules, he naturally made all the preparations, put everything outside the house in advance, and covered it with a tarpaulin.
"We must first paste couplets, set off cannons, welcome rice buckets, buckets, baskets, and brooms into them, and place them."
Daddy Luo was full of red light, pointing east and west, busy before and after.
The rice bucket was filled with eight cents, and there were red envelopes buried in it, containing banknotes, tea and coins; The bucket was not full, but was scooped from the water tank of the old house; The basket contains kitchen utensils such as chopsticks, tongs, and stoves; The broom on the back of the younger brother is tied with a red cloth; The eldest sister carried the burden, loaded with new pillows, sheets and quilts, and embroidered in bright red.
Luo Xueyun muttered: "I don't know, I thought it was marriage." ”
"If you like it, you should talk about it." The eldest sister smiled, "You are also not small." ”
"I'm not of legal age yet, so there's no hurry."
They obviously didn't know much about it, and they were just busy moving the furniture into the house.
"Second brother, your bed is so big, you must be comfortable to sleep on."
"Don't even think about it, I can't sleep in another bed with you, there are many beds, you want to live in your own room."
Luo Xueyun's rectification of the guy matter can open the eyes of the family.
Very old-fashioned cast-iron gas stoves made them dumbfounded, and they could actually start a fire without firewood; The faucet that comes out of the water when it is twisted makes them look at the water tank in a daze for a long time; A disc is placed on the table of the Eight Immortals, and you can turn it by yourself with a flick......
After tossing and turning for so long, it is just something that barely meets the rural standards of the 21st century, and in the eyes of Daddy Luo and others, it is already a new thing that has never been seen before.
"These things are only used by people in the city, second brother, you are really fashionable, help me get a set in the future."
The younger brother does not hide his envy, clean, tidy, bright and convenient, which has always been the common pursuit of the public.
It didn't take long for the people on the slope to burn the bottom of the pot, but the gifts they brought surprised Luo Xueyun.
