Within a long time, someone really came to ask.

It was an old man in his fifties, clasping his hands, and asked Lu Xu uneasily, "Little Master Lu, do you really want to hire me?" ”

Lu Xu saw that his body was still tough, but his legs were a little lame, he was very thin, and his skin was dark, as if he had been exposed all year round, "As long as you row well, I will hire you, I look like you can fish." ”

The old man: "Hello eyesight, old man, I used to be a fisherman." ”

Lu Xu: "Can you still fish now?" ”

Old man: "Of course!" ”

Lu Xu: "Then why don't you fight?" ”

The old man sighed: "The boat gang Song Ye occupies the river and asks us to pay half of the money, but my son is angry and can't reason with them, and he doesn't say anything about being beaten, and the boat gang won't allow me to fish anymore, otherwise I will smash my boat." ”

Lu Xu couldn't help but scold the boat gang again.

The river near Lujia Village is narrow, there are many aquatic plants, and it is difficult to catch fish. But many villages downstream have very wide rivers, and Lu Xu also wondered why they didn't fish, so it turned out to be like this.

The old man just smiled bitterly, his expression sad and numb.

Lu Xu paused, sighed and asked, "Do you have a boat?" ”

Old man: "Yes." ”

Lu Xu: "Then don't row for me, let's fish well, now the boat gang is too busy to take care of themselves, and Guanyang fish is a good time to sell." ”

The old man hurriedly said: "No, no, no!" ”

He grabbed Lu Xu's hand anxiously, "Little brother, you have a good heart and strength, but the old man is already afraid of the boat gang," tears welled up in his eyes, "If you do well, hire me to work for you!" ”

Lu Xu stared at the basket he was carrying, which was filled with herbs and wild vegetables that still had soil, the straw sandals under the old man's feet were worn out and holes, and the clothes were old and dirty, not dirt, but the kind of dirt that was worn out and could never be washed again, and it was full of patches of different old and new.

Lu Xu helped him stand upright and smiled hard, "Okay, I'll hire you." If you are willing to row, help me row, if you are willing to fish, hang the sail of the Qiu family's flag and fish with my brothers, if you want to sell fish yourself, you can sell fish at the stall of the Qiu family, sell as much as you sell every day, give us one-tenth of the profit, give money, give fish, whatever you want. If you don't want to sell it, you can collect the fish in the morning and sell it to us, and we'll sell it. ”

The old man looked at Lu Xu blankly.

Lu Xu: "You go home and think about it, and discuss it with your family." ”

Old man: "No, no, no, no need to discuss!" I, I'll fish and sell it to you! ”

Lu Xu: "Okay, the stone, you give the old man our flag sail." ”

Tan Shishi: "Okay." ”

The old man thanked him a thousand times and turned back three times.

Lu Xu watched him wipe his tears uncontrollably, and felt uncomfortable for a while.

He muttered, "I didn't expect the boat gang to be so domineering to the fishermen. ”

Tan Shishi also had a calm face.

Originally, Qiu Hu asked them to fish, but they were not happy, and they didn't know how much effort Qiu Hu had spent to steal food from the boat gang.

Lu Xu spit out a breath of turbidity, "If someone asks in the future, it's the same, if there is no boat, let's hire people, have a boat, hang our flag and sail, whether it is pulling people or fishing, we will only charge a certain amount of money." We must make it clear to them that we only accept voluntary, do not force or bully, that is, do not hang our flag sails, and we will not be excluded when we meet in the river and dock. ”

Tan Shishi: "Hmm! ”

After straightening out the Qiu family's business, Lu Xu finally had to go home empty.

Seeing that autumn was approaching, the relatives in the mountains of the Qiu brothers began to send down the early-ripening fruits, and Lu Xu was forced to stuff a basket of apples, and the enthusiastic aunt and uncle insisted that he take them home to taste.

Half of the apples are wild, half are grown by themselves, the wild thief is sour, they have to be dried and eaten, and the self-grown ones are also sour, and the taste is a bit like green apples, but the skin is slightly harder.

Lu Xu carried the apple home, and only then entered the house, before he hugged Lu Rui, rubbed the soft and cute Layue, pinched the serious Lu Zhou, and first bumped into Lu Wen, who had a black face as if someone owed him five million and didn't pay it back.

Lu Wen sat at the door of his house and opened his mouth: "Big brother, you still know to come back." ”

Lu Xu: "......"

These things!

Chapter 56: Let Apple

Lu Xu put down the apple basket and called Lu Wen in.

The apple was put in the yard, Lu Wen just looked at it, and continued to ask Lu Xu with a dark face: "Big brother, what have you been busy with lately?" ”

Lu Xu secretly smacked it, and he was not interested in seeing the food, it seemed that he was really unhappy......

Lu Xu: "You help me run an errand and send apples to your family and the fourth uncle." ”

Lu Wen pouted, the boss was reluctant, but he still nodded.

Lu Xu asked Lu Zhou to bring the basket and take the three small ones to pick up the apples together, pick up the bumpy ones first, and then put them in the basket.

Layue held the largest one and picked out a scar on it to show Lu Xu, "Brother, it's broken here." ”

Lu Xu: "If it's broken, you can't let it go, what should I do?" ”

Layue blinked at him with big eyes, "What should I do?" ”

Lu Xu: "What did Layue say? ”

Layue: "Eat it!" ”

Lu Xu: "Eat it!" ”

Layue grinned, ran to the stream to wash apples, and after a while, led several small radish heads back.

Layue: "Brother, can I share it with Shui Xiu and them?" ”

Lu Xu: "Come, my brother will cut it for you." ”

He washed his hands, went to the kitchen and took a kitchen knife to cut the apple into eight petals, counted them, seven little radish heads, okay, one for each person, and the remaining one was his.

"Alright, let's go play, don't run far."

Lu Xu sent away the seven little radish heads, picked up the last piece and took a bite, hissing, sour to him.

Lu Xu took two bites of the skin and ate it, facing Lu Wen and Lu Zhou's faint gaze.

Why?

Isn't Apple still how?

It was as if he was stealing food behind their backs.

Lu Xu threw Pi Yuan into the chicken coop and said in a deep voice: "I want to eat and wash it myself." ”

Lu Wen and Lu Zhou bowed their heads tacitly and continued to divide the apples.

Lu Xu looked at it for a while, and scratched his head again, even if one Lu Zhou is counted, how can even the flamboyant Lu Wen be so virtuous?

He couldn't hold back and dragged Lu Wen over, "You were taken away?" ”

Lu Wen: "? ”

Lu Xu: "Then what's wrong with you?" Sick? ”

Lu Wen pouted with a dark face: "I'm not sick, my father is sick, my mother is also sick, Xiaoxia will cry, Xiaoyu and Xiaofu don't know anything except eating, our family is over!" ”

Lu Xu slapped him on the head, "If you can speak, say it well!" ”

Lu Wen's nose was red, tears rolled in his eyes and then held back, rubbing his nose and muffled: "Since my brother left, my father has sighed all day long, and my mother is too, like losing her soul, I went to return the cow yesterday to get the deposit, and I fell when I came back." ”

Lu Xu hurriedly asked, "Fell and injured?" ”

Lu Wen shook his head: "No, it's just a piece of skin on my knee." ”

Lu Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

He rubbed his forehead in annoyance, asked him to make money, asked him to help, let him come up with ideas, everything was easy to do, but he was worried about comforting people.

Comfort is useless, the only solution is that Lu Hui comes back safely, and he can't go and steal people back and arrest them.

He doesn't want to stay at home these days, and everyone he sees when he goes out is sad.

The village is lifeless, and so is Guanyang County, so he has no energy, so he can be happy when he fights with the boat gang.

Lu Xu pulled his hair, he loves to pull his hair when he is worried, he has been pulling a lot of it for a while, and if he continues to pull it, he will be bald young.

Lu Xu sighed and said, "I'll go see the third uncle and third aunt in a while." ”

Lu Wen: "Don't go, my aunt and the fourth aunt go every day, it's useless, just wait for them to open it themselves." ”

Lu Xu: "......"

He looked at Lu Wen in shock, and was a little speechless for a while.

Lu Wen's dark eyes looked at him deeply, "I've been to the fields to see and tried, but we have too many fields to be busy." I'm not my brother, I can't count on the work in the fields, and neither can Xiao Xia, just rely on my father and mother, they have to die of exhaustion. The only way at the moment is to make money to buy cattle, big brother, I'll do business with you, I can endure hardship. ”

Lu Xu was even more speechless.

He couldn't help but reach out and probe Lu Wen's forehead, he didn't have a fever!

Lu Wen dodged his hand, endured disgust and said seriously: "When will you sell cold vegetables again, cucumbers will be old if you don't pick them again, I am in charge and Lu Zhou have picked and dried them, and the remaining autumn cucumbers and eggplants can't be picked much, and then the melons and fruits should be ripe, do you plan to sell anything?" ”

Lu Xu didn't speak, and Lu Wen continued: "Then don't run out these days, think about new recipes." ”

Lu Xu looked like he was not a good person, Lu Wen sighed, threw him a disgusted look of "look at these unreliable adults", patted his pants and stood up, "I'll deliver apples." ”

Lu Wen walked with the basket for a while, but Lu Xu didn't come back to his senses.

He asked Lu Zhou, "How long has Lu Wen been with this symptom?" ”

Lu Zhou looked at him complicatedly, wanted to say something, but didn't say anything, shook his head and continued to divide the apples, put the good apples back into the basket, put the damaged apples into the basket, and carried them to the kitchen by himself.

Lu Xu: "......"

He threw a punch at Lu Zhoukong, okay, he doesn't know anything, just he's stupid, tell him that he will die? What a bullshit brother!

Lu Xu kicked off the bench angrily, grabbed a few apples and went to Yan Junqi's house.

"Haven't I been home for a few days, I didn't see the two of them wearing a pair of pants, and I'm so angry! If I don't pay attention to anything, he can't tell me properly! Lu Xu was so angry that he slapped the table, "People are not big, their temper is not small, what a bullshit temper!" ”

Yan Junqi couldn't see that he was weak-hearted.

He was not at home for several days, and his house was in a mess, and he didn't help at all.

Lu Wen suddenly changed from a cat and a dog to like this, and he was the most difficult to adapt.
