Lu Xu replied one by one, "Some people came from the north in the county cattle market, there are cows, mules and donkeys, I heard them say that there will be two or three more batches before the year, this head is forty taels, there are thirty taels, and they have lost a little weight, I am afraid that it will not be easy to raise." ”

As soon as they heard this price, some people were moved, some people died, and some people ridiculed Lu Xu while envious.

"You still buy a cow on your little land? When will the cow money be earned? ”

"Can't people open up wasteland? Xuwa uses a lot of food a year! ”

"He went to the city to do business, and Zhouwa went to the city to study, who will let him?"

"Isn't there still Lu Rui!"

The crowd laughed.

"If you want me to say, Xuwa, you might as well buy a donkey, and you can also take it to the stone mill to grind noodles!"

Lu Xu also smiled, and when he saw Lu Hui standing next to the cow and patting his legs and touching his hair, he leaned over and asked Lu Hui, "Will you let it go?" ”

Lu Hui: "Yes! ”

What he did in Shuozhou was heavy work, dealing with cattle, sheep, mules and horses.

Lu Hui looked at the cow, and then at Lu Xu, his eyes were reluctant to leave the cow, "If you don't have time, I'll put it for you, don't worry!" ”

Lu Xu said: "Okay, then you can take it away, give it to you." ”

Lu Hui was still following the cow, and he was stupid when he heard it, "Huh? ”

Lu Xu: "I originally bought it for your family." ”

Now, all the people present were stupid, and the third aunt and Xiaoxia who came over to see the cow were also stupid.

Lu Hui subconsciously loosened the cow rope, "I bought it for my family?" No, no, no! ”

Lu Xu: "You should raise it for me, when my family ploughs the land, you don't borrow it from me, or when your family ploughs the land, I don't borrow it from you?" ”

Seeing that the third aunt was coming, Lu Xu didn't stay by the river anymore, so he asked Lu Hui to take the cow and hurry home to build a cowshed.

The third uncle didn't care about repairing the dock, so he hurriedly washed his hands and caught up, and asked Lu Xu to lead the cow home.

Lu Xu: "I'm not at home, Lu Zhou is not at home, my mother wants to embroider, who feeds the cows, who shovels the dung?" ”

Lu Hui: "I ......"

Lu Xu: "My family has a bunch of little girls who come to learn embroidery every day. ”

Lu Hui: "......"

He has also reached the age when it is time to talk about marriage, and he really has to avoid suspicion.

After entering the door of the third uncle's house, there was no outsider Lu Xu began to move with affection and reason, "I sold fritters before, and the noodles were taken by the third aunt from home, and the third aunt made it from beginning to end, so I sold it, and it stands to reason that we should share it equally if I made money." ”

Yuan Manniang also nodded.

The third aunt: "How can it be counted like this, you taught me how to do it, and the face money was given, and I still get paid!" "If she shares it with Lu Xu, what will it be? Isn't it taking advantage of juniors?

Lu Xu: "Anyway, I have always been the third aunt to take shares, and you, Xiaoxia, Hanlu, Xiaowen, I will give you the silver at the end of the year." ”

Xiao Xia shook his head again and again.

Hanlu's eyes lit up, she couldn't embroider, she had always been envious of others embroidering to make money, but she didn't expect the peak to turn around, and the eldest brother wanted to give her money! She dragged away the topic, "Big brother, how much do you give me?" ”

The fourth aunt glared at her, and Han Lu silently hid next to Xiao Xia, but the excitement could not be hidden-with the eldest brother's hand to buy cattle, he would definitely not give less!

Lu Xu: "How much do you want?" ”

Han Lu was full of small calculations, "Three or two? ”

The fourth aunt reprimanded her: "Cold dew! ”

Lu Xu is straightforward, three taels is almost a month's salary for Hanlu, but she is not greedy at all.

Lu Xu has never hidden how much money he goes in and out of his shop every day, especially Hanlu and Lu Wen, who often help him collect money, how much he earns every day, they all have a good number, but Hanlu only needs three taels, and in Lu Xu's opinion, she is quite a straightforward, sensible and cute sister.

It's almost the same as Layue spoiling to ask for three or five pieces of pocket money.

Lu Xu said heroically: "When the time comes, I will give you a big red envelope!" ”

Hanlu's eyes were a little rounder: "It's bigger!" ”

The fourth aunt couldn't listen to it anymore, and as soon as she raised her eyebrows, Hanlu heard the strings and knew the elegance, and swooped away, "I'll help my grandparents look after the store!" ”

Lu Xu said back to the cow, "What is the situation in our family, we count them as a family, my family, I am in the county every day, Lu Zhou wants to study, Layue is still young, Lu Rui is not counted." Besides, the fourth uncle's family, Hanlu helps me do business, Lu Xuan is an apprentice in the county, and the fourth uncle and four aunts have to take care of the fields of their grandparents. ”

Lu Hui: "I'm back, I'll ...... my grandparents in the field"

Lu Xu interrupted him: "Besides, your family, Lu Wen is not the material for Xiatian, follow me, the third aunt and Xiaoxia will also help me, you have a lot of fields, you and the third uncle still have to take care of Xiaoyu and Lu Fu, do you have three heads and six arms?" ”

Lu Hui was silent.

"But you can't afford not to farm." Lu Xu sighed, "After such an experience this year, I can see clearly, whether it is silver or a shop, everything is good when everything is going well, but when there is a shortage of food, everything is empty." Only when you have enough to eat can you overcome difficulties. ”

This is different from the era he was in before, the productivity was low, there was no machinery, and all production depended on people and land.

In such an era, the only thing that can really be relied on is land.

"We have surplus food in our hands, and we don't panic, so our family still has to farm!" Lu Xu clapped his hands and concluded, "To sum up, our family will have to open up wasteland, buy fields, and buy mountains in the future!" ”

The men in the family nodded and nodded, as if something was wrong, buy a mountain?! What mountains to buy? They are full of mountains here, and they still buy mountains?!

Lu Xu imagined endlessly towards the mountains in the distance, "This piece, planting fruit trees, that piece, planting wood, and enclosing chickens, ducks and pigs at the foot of the mountain, in the future, the descendants will have no interest, and they can survive by selling fruits, firewood, and wood!" ”

Family: "......"

That's the reason, but why does it sound so awkward?

How can anyone hope that their descendants will be unproductive!

The author has something to say:

Lu Chao has a sense of responsibility: A good parent must have far-reaching plans for future generations!

Family:......

Lu Wen: Look, I'll just say that my eldest brother is sick.

Chapter 90: Annual Leave

Lu Xuwu was agitated, now they have a vast and sparsely populated land, and there are barren fields everywhere, but the future is different, as long as there is no war, the population will definitely grow, and their family's little land will be divided into a little sooner or later from generation to generation, how can they eat?

Looking at the Ma family, the dynasties have changed, and they still dominate Guanyang, why? Isn't it even more so that there are many people in the family?

"Our family is just such a small number of people, and the current fields can't be planted, what should we do if we buy fields again? So...... "Lu Xu patted the cow," people should be good at using external forces and tools. After a while, the cow will be cheaper, and I will buy two more, and then you and the third and fourth uncles will each have one! ”

He solemnly stuffed the reins to Lu Hui, "It depends on me, Xiaoxuan and Xiaowen to make money, Xiaozhou to study, and you to farm and raise cattle!" ”

Lu Hui took the reins, as if he had taken over the burden of the future of the family, and a sense of responsibility arose spontaneously, and he pulled up eight feet high on the spot. It's like when he went to Shuozhou for the first time to climb the city wall and listen to the general's lecture.

The rivers and mountains of Daqi are under the feet of each of them.

The future of their family is in the hands of each member.

Lu Hui clenched the reins, full of blood and tumbling, feeling that his eldest brother's image was extremely tall, and he never suspected that his eldest brother was actually just a hot-blooded second disease.

What else can the third uncle and the fourth uncle say?

In Lu Xu's plan, except for herding cattle, there is nothing for the two of them at all.

Anyway, I bought it, I bought it, it was a joy to have a cow, Lu Xu didn't think about separating the family, and they naturally didn't have to settle the accounts clearly when they were uncles.

As long as you have an account in your heart, who wants to fight the younger generation who is full of youthful righteousness?

The third and fourth uncles went to build a cowshed, Lu Hui tied the cow, smiled like a flower, and led his younger brothers and sisters to mow the grass.

Now the grass is yellow, and they can harvest a little, and when it snows, they will feed the cattle with straw and wheat straw, and thanks to their large fields, these are also left.

After arranging the cattle, Lu Xu took a boat to the county seat.

Lu Wen is still in the shop, and he hasn't settled the new apprentice yet.

However, this time on the boat, there were a few more people on the boat, and the eldest son of the Li Zheng family and several wealthy families in the village also wanted to see the cattle in the county.

The companions were on the boat, and they inquired about what Lu Xu naturally knew everything, and sent them all the way to the bull market before leaving.

Several people looked at Lu Xu's back with indescribable subtlety and envy......

Look at the people Lu You, and the nephew bought cattle without doing anything.

Looking at Lu Yu, he opened a grocery store without doing anything.

Look at them again......

I also work hard to earn money for my children and grandchildren.

Lu Xu's teaching career broke through Longxing County before the snow fell, attracting restaurants from nearby counties.

In this era, it is not easy to go out, especially across the state and county, not to mention the need for road guidance, there are no serious hotels and inns on the road, and many people can only go out where to find someone to spend the night, and they have to live in the barren mountains and mountains if they don't catch up.

Especially since they didn't have any livestock, no horses, not many mules, and most of them went out on their feet.

Coming across states and counties, they are all determined.

Lu Xu was naturally warmly hospitable, and his partners were also very satisfied-

Coming so far, it must be because the restaurant in the neighboring county kept the promise and did not pass on the recipes.

People in this era are generally still trustworthy......

Lu Xu thought silently and arranged for someone to stay with Tan Shi for a few days.

Now many of the original Qiu family members have saved money and can take their relatives from the mountain.

After picking up relatives, it is naturally not good to huddle with them again, either two or three families rent a small yard in the county seat, or rent a yard in a village near the county seat.

In the past, the compound where they lived together was mostly empty, and it was cleaned up and used as a grocery store warehouse, just Tan Shi and Liang Shanbao, who didn't move out when they saved enough money, and waited for Qiu Hu and them to come back.

It's just that more than half a month has passed, and there are fewer and fewer people coming back, and every time someone comes back, it can cause a sensation in the county for a whole day-

These are all people who have been out for several years and have not heard from them, and their families think that they have died outside.

That's it, it's been more than ten days since someone last came back.

Lu Xu asked Luo Shen to help inquire, and asked people from restaurants from all over the country to help inquire, but he only heard that Qiu Hu was going west with the main army.
