His aunt said that she came to his mother to talk about the flower type, and she was not drunk at all, not in wine, in him. No wonder he sent out all the other juniors and left him to listen by himself.

After listening, Lu Xu said goodbye, but he didn't plan to tell Lu Zhou and Lu Wen.

What if the bastard kid doesn't understand anything and accidentally pokes the second uncle's sore spot.

Lu Wen asked curiously, Lu Xu only made up nonsense, the second uncle and Grandma Zhao's son were good friends when they were young, Grandpa Zhao was very good to the second uncle, and the second uncle regretted that he couldn't see him for the last time.

Lu Wen heard it inexplicably, the Zhao family and his family are not related to each other, why did the second uncle have to meet when Grandpa Zhao died?

Lu Xu said nonsense: "The second uncle liked to run all over the mountain when he was a child, maybe Grandpa Zhao took care of him......"

Lu Wen said "oh", and his interest was gone.

After all, Grandpa Zhao has been dead for many years, and when he died, he didn't remember it.

"Alas......" Lu Xu was able to sigh secretly, and only the smart and precocious Yan Junqi remained, "It's a pity." ”

Yan Junqi listened to him silently, and did not comment, but asked, "What if it's you?" ”

"Me?" Lu Xu didn't even think about it, "I won't make it like this!" If I fancy anyone, I will not let go no matter what the difficulties are, and I will do everything I can to send letters and deliver news! ”

Yan Junqi nodded silently, raised his eyes to look at Lu Xu, and silently gloomed, "Some things are a dilemma." ”

"Yes......" Lu Xu also wilted, "The battlefield is changing rapidly, listening to the description of the second uncle, in the past ten years, he has traveled all over the north, he has no fixed place, the day is precarious, maybe he will die on the battlefield one day, in that situation, whether he has sent a letter or not, it is very difficult......"

I sent it, I don't know when I will be born and when I will die, and when I will be able to return, should I let her wait or not?

If you don't send it, you haven't heard from me for more than ten years, how much worry do you have at home?

"Alas......" Lu Xu sighed, "thanks to no more fighting." Our generation is much luckier than theirs. ”

"Yes......"

Lu Xu's mind drifted, sighed for a long time, and instructed Yan Junqi in a stroke, "In the future, if you have someone you like, if you have anything in your heart, you must say it, but don't be a stuffy gourd like Lu Zhou." ”

Yan Junqi looked up at him sharply.

Lu Xu put his heart in his heart: "It's easy to suffer!" ”

Yan Junqi looked at him with clear and open eyes, and somehow felt depressed: "...... Well. ”

Lu Xu: "I'll help you find a way to get an idea!" ”

Yan Junqi was weak: "You better go and see the second uncle." ”

"Oh oh oh," Lu Xu patted his legs and chattered as he moved out, "I'll take a look, you have nothing to do with Wenzhen and them outside to play, don't keep copying books in the house, the ink is frozen, what else are you writing......"

Yan Junqi smiled, he was not like Lu Xu, he could provoke a group of children to have a snowball fight wherever he went.

Seeing the New Year, Lu Xu made New Year's goods for his grandparents, ran to the fourth uncle every day, and chatted with the second uncle about what the north was like, what there was, and looked like a curious baby.

Lu Qing didn't go out much for many days, picking up wood at home to make shelves for the grocery store.

Lu Xu has a lot of ideas, saying what style to make, Lu Qing can make a comparison, and the uncle and nephew chatted quite happily.

In this regard, Lu Wen deeply admired, and complained to Lu Hui and Lu Xuan many times that their eldest brother deserved to be the eldest brother, and even an unsmiling person like the second uncle could talk about it.

Replace him, and he wants to run away in a few words.

Lu Xuan said sharply: "That's because what you say is nonsense." ”

Lu Wen: "......"

I always feel that after the third brother has been an apprentice in the county for a while, he has become more ruthless?

In the courtyard, Lu Xu handed Lu Qing a wooden board and told Lu Qing about his glorious achievements: "Originally, my father wanted to send me to the county to learn carpentry, but I can't do it now, or weaving things is suitable for me, I have lived in prison for more than a month, what baskets, baskets, dustpans, will be, two days ago I also made a little rabbit for them in Layue." ”

Not only the little rabbit, but also the little rattan ball and the little rattan hat.

The hat was buckled on the snowman's head, and the rattan ball was given to Lu Rui, and he also stuffed an old bell at home into it, which rang in a flash, making Lu Rui run around the yard on a snowy day, and his clothes were still playing when he was wet.

Lu Qing has seen a lot of life and death, but it is the first time he has seen him in prison so frankly.

Lu Qing came back late, only knowing that he had opened a shop selling food in the county, and he hadn't seen Lu Xu's Guanyang Alliance, let alone knew about Lu Xu's many grievances with the boat gang.

At the end, Lu Xu said in a low voice: "I haven't told my mother, grandparents, and grandparents, second uncle, you have to help me keep it secret!" ”

Lu Qing smiled, thinking that if you want to keep it a secret, don't you just tell him?

"Are those people still bothering you now?"

Lu Xu patted his chest and said heroically: "It's all solved!" Don't be afraid to look for me! ”

Immediately, he changed the topic and asked Lu Qing: "Second uncle, what are your plans for the New Year?" Farming in the village? ”

Lu Qing's hands kept knocking, "That's what I planned for the time being, what's wrong?" ”

Lu Xu: "It's nothing, I just want to buy land and mountains after the New Year." ”

Lu Qing looked at him in surprise, "Buy a mountain?" ”

Lu Xu said about his "grand cause" again, "I heard my aunt say that you have loved to run to the mountains since you were a child, otherwise wait for the second uncle of Kaichun to help me plant trees!" Let's uncle and nephew together to dominate Lujia Village! By the way, second uncle, what are you good at raising, chickens, ducks, geese or pigs? ”

Lu Qing: "......"

What's the matter with his eldest nephew?

Chapter 96: Buying New Year's Goods

Lu Qing asked: "Do you really want to plant trees and raise pigs?" ”

Lu Xu: "Of course it's true!" ”

Is he not convincing enough to say that he is so old for a long time?

Lu Xu began to settle accounts for Lu Qing again, "Look, you need wood to build a house in the village, wood to make furniture, wood to make a car, and firewood to make a fire!" Let's plant good wood from top to bottom, which is hardy and sturdy and suitable for making beams and columns, according to the past few decades and a hundred years, and the middle plant can grow in five years and ten years, and make furniture trees, and below, you can plant some good ones to facilitate the villagers to pick up firewood. ”

Lu Qing was curious: "Do you want to buy a mountain or let someone pick it up?" ”

Lu Xu: "This can't be prevented, it's all related to the family, can I be fined if someone goes up the mountain to pick up a few branches?" I ran out of green onions, and no one cared if I picked up a handful of green onions in the vegetable field. ”

Lu Qing only smiled and let Lu Xu continue.

Lu Xu: "The original trees on the mountain don't need to be moved, grow, especially those trees that are several years old, it is best to grow to three or four feet thick, as long as they can grow, they will always grow, in case you need to use large wood, it will be valuable!" ”

He once heard that before the Tang and Song dynasties, the palaces were built with towering trees, and then the trees were used up, and he couldn't find a decent tree in the Qing Dynasty.

So how?

Over-cutting is not advisable.

"Let's only cut down the secondary and messy ones, clean them up neatly and cleanly, which is not only convenient for everyone to walk, but also helps the big tree grow and become talented." Lu Xu looked at the snow-covered mountain, "That gentle slope, as long as you build a fence, make it stronger, and raise livestock freely, they eat grass seeds and insects, we don't need to feed them much, so worry-free!" ”

Lu Qingdao: "What you say is like a barbarian raising sheep, running all over the grassland, eating wherever he goes, no need to feed it." ”

Lu Xu's eyes lit up: "Sheep! Second uncle, have you ever eaten mutton? ”

Lu Qing: "Why haven't you eaten it?" ”

Eat every day when you are trapped on the side of the barbarians.

Lu Xu: "It's so good, I want to eat it too!" ”

Lu Qing: "......"

Lu Xu: "It would be nice if I could raise a batch on our mountain, when I accompanied Junqi to the state capital for the exam, I ate mutton in a restaurant, ah...... It's delicious...... It's even more delicious to sprinkle a little chili noodles, but it's a pity that they haven't eaten Layue Lu Zhou, and they can never imagine the joy of roast mutton, stewed mutton, and mutton shabu......"

Lu Qing: "......"

They don't have any sheep here.

When he first arrived in Shuozhou, he didn't eat much sheep.

Meat has always been a rarity, and even in the barracks, the dry food they eat is hard bread.

When he frequently ate mutton, it was his team and army that were scattered, trapped in the barbarian realm and disoriented, with no water or food, and he was about to starve to death and thirst, so he had to venture to the barbarian herdsmen to steal sheep.

They did not dare to light a fire, and they did not have firewood, so they found a remote place and killed the sheep, skinned and fleshed and ate them raw.

Later, when the herdsmen ate roast mutton, they only dared to light a small fire and roast it indiscriminately, half-cooked, and they didn't even have a handful of salt. But thanks to the sheep, they survived the winter desert, and the mutton, the sheepskins, were all good things, and without those sheep, they would have frozen to death outside the border.

His eldest nephew was different, although he had not been together for a few days, this child's cooking skills were second to none among all the people he had ever seen, and the dishes he cooked were more fragrant than those he had eaten in the general's camp.

If it were him, he would have been able to make the mutton delicious.

Lu Qing thought for a while and asked, "Do you want to raise sheep?" ”

Lu Xu: "Yes! ”

Lu Qing: "It's not difficult, when spring begins, I'll find some for you." ”

Lu Xu: "...... Where to find it? ”

Lu Qing: "Shuozhou." There is a barbarian tribe that has surrendered and has been relocated to the north of Shuozhou, I know the place. ”

Lu Xu was stunned: "Are they willing to sell it to us?" ”

Lu Qing didn't care: "It's always going to be sold." They have little food and little to eat. ”

Lu Xu heard that something was wrong now. Why is Lu Qing so familiar with the barbarian tribe?

After this questioning, I learned that it was Lu Qing who escorted this barbarian tribe to Shuobei from the west, and it was his previous army that was stationed to take care of the barbarians.

Lu Xu was speechless for a moment, "That, that......"

He was stunned for a long time, and then God said: "Are the guards familiar with you?" ”

Lu Qing didn't know what he wanted to do, so he said conservatively: "It's okay." ”

Lu Xu was excited: "Then let's go over there next year to buy cashmere sheepskin!" How warm it is to make shoulders, jackets, leather shoes, and sweaters! ”

He had enough of it in one winter, his hands and feet were frozen, if it weren't for the fact that they had money and sufficient winter clothes and equipment this year, Lu Xu wouldn't want to go out at all.

He is such a handsome guy, wrapped like a cotton ball every day, and his elbows are not easy to bend, what a ruin image!

Lu Xu chattered about wool, Grandpa Lu shook his head when he heard it, how many people in the village are reluctant to wear cotton, he is still too fat!

It's getting dark, and Lu Xu is going to lead Layue home, Layue played in the shop for a day, and Xiaoman was reluctant.

Lu Xu carried her on his back, "Grandpa, close the door early, no one will buy anything at this time." ”

Grandpa Lu asked him to hurry up, so that he wouldn't be able to see the road clearly after dark for a while, slipping and falling.
