"You have a lot of rice fields in the countryside, can't you raise loaches in the rice fields?" Xu Maomin asked.

"What's the deal? If you don't plant rice, it's almost the same, you have to apply medicine to plant rice. The sprayed loaches are all dead. Now the pesticides are very toxic, and there are very few loaches in the farmland. Luo Baolin said.

"How much can you afford to grow rice per acre of land? If you raise loaches, how can you raise one or two hundred catties of loaches? One or two hundred catties of loaches is calculated at twenty yuan per catty, and one acre of land is at least more than 2,000 catties. If you have an acre of land, it will be difficult to earn 500 yuan after the cost is removed. Uncle Luo, why don't you try raising loaches in rice fields?" Xu Maomin thought about it and felt that raising loaches in rice fields was very profitable.

Luo Tianwang also became interested: "Yes, grandpa, raising loaches is really profitable." Why don't we raise loaches?"

Luo Baolin shook his head: "I can't raise it." I'm scared to raise this pond. Raise an acre of land, and when the time comes, you have to stay in the field every day. Now there are so many fishing machines in the countryside that they can electrify all the loaches in the fields in one night. ”

Xu Maomin nodded: "I haven't thought about this." In the past, there were a lot of loaches in the countryside. As soon as the fishing machine came out, the loaches were almost extinct. ”

Luo Baolin nodded: "In the past, you could catch loaches by placing a bamboo cage at any ridge mouth. Now if you turn over a field, you can't dig a few roots. Alas. It's a pity. ”

"Haha, don't talk about that. I want this loach, and you can send it to my house as many as you want. Guaranteed to be a dollar or two higher than the market price. Xu Maomin also saw this loach field, which was even better than the ordinary wild loach.

"You have to have it. Just like the market price. I don't dare to let you suffer. Luo Baolin hurriedly said.

Luo Tianwang and Luo Jingzhi were holding a lollipop and eating it with relish.

Coming out of Xu Maomin's house, Luo Baolin stuffed more than 200 yuan to buy loaches into Luo Tianwang's hand: "Tianwang, you earned this money." You keep it for yourself and buy whatever you want. ”

This is the first money Luo Tianwang has earned, and for adults, more than two hundred yuan is not a big number. But for a small child, this is not a small amount, and the meaning of this money may be more than the money itself.

Luo Jingzhi looked at the brand-new stack of banknotes in Luo Baolin's hand with some envy. I thought to myself, if she could also make such a sum of money, maybe the eldest lady would treat her better.

"Grandpa, you can save this money for me. Luo Tianwang said.

"Yes, grandpa will save it for you. Luo Baolin was also afraid that his grandson would lose the money, so he hurriedly stuffed the money into the hidden pocket in his pants. lest you be targeted by the pickpockets in the town.

The three of them went to the medicinal herb company together. Luo Jingzhi's herbs were sold for a total of more than a dozen yuan. She's been saving it for a long time. But it didn't cost a penny. Luo Jingzhi was also very happy.

"Jingzhi, what are you going to buy with this money? The shoes you are wearing have a hole, why don't you go buy a pair of shoes. Luo Baolin knew that Luo Jingzhi's child was guilty (pitiful), and Xiao Xia would definitely not be willing to buy her shoes.

Luo Jingzhi looked at the shoes under her feet that had faded badly, but shook her head: "These shoes can still be worn for miles." Our rural children are not so particular. ”

"Alas, you kid is so sensible, why doesn't Xiao Xia's pig lady treat you to you?" Luo Baolin couldn't help but scold.

"Jingzhi?"

A voice rang out behind the three men.

Luo Jingzhi's body trembled suddenly, and she stood on the spot. Luo Tianwang quickly looked back and saw that it was Luo Jingzhi's mother-in-law, Zhao Guiju.

"Uncle Paulin. Zhao Guiju greeted Luo Baolin first, then walked to Luo Jingzhi's side, squatted down, and hugged Luo Jingzhi tightly, "Jingzhi, Jingzhi." ”

Zhao Guiju didn't know what to say, but tears poured out of her eyes like spring water.

"Mother!" Luo Jingzhi finally shouted loudly. It was a cry that had been suppressed in her heart for an unknown amount of time. At this moment, she finally became like a child, without having to be cautious or hide her sadness. She's just a child. Finally, someone stood in front of her, holding up the sky for her.

Luo Baolin couldn't help but wipe his eyes. Luo Tianwang was a little dazed, he didn't quite understand their emotions.

Zhao Guiju hugged her daughter and cried for a while, then wiped away Luo Jingzhi's tears, looked at the pair of shoes with holes on Luo Jingzhi's feet, and hugged Luo Jingzhi: "Jingzhi doesn't cry." Mother will buy you a pair of shoes. ”

"Mother, I don't want shoes. I want to go with my mother!" Luo Jingzhi hugged her mother tightly, fearing that the next moment, she would be abandoned again.

"My mother doesn't want to leave Jingzhi alone! Zhao Guiju regretted that she listened to her mother's family and left her daughter in He Mawan. regretted remarrying and choosing the wrong person, and originally planned to bring Luo Jingzhi over after remarrying, but now in this situation, she didn't dare to do this kind of plan at all.

"Guiju, let you buy a hat, why haven't you seen the past for so long?" Zhao Guiju's man, Feng Yanhu, followed again. Seeing Zhao Guiju holding a small child, he immediately pointed at Zhao Guiju vigilantly and asked, "What's the matter with the two little guys?"

Luo Baolin hurriedly said, "You are a Guiju man." Don't get me wrong, these two little guys are my grandchildren. Get up and call Guiju and call Auntie. ”

Feng Yanhu glanced at Luo Tianwang and Luo Jingzhi suspiciously, ignored Luo Baolin, and stared at Zhao Guiju fiercely: "I only ask you." ”

Zhao Guiju sighed and said, "This is the daughter I gave birth to when I married He Mawan. I've always wanted to tell you about it. Now that you've seen it, I'll make it clear to you. ”

"When you get married, you can risk saying that you have a child. Feng Yanhu's face changed.

"I also pretend that I don't have children. Zhao Guiju said.

Feng Yanhu was so stunned by Zhao Guiju that the green tendons on his forehead were exposed.

Luo Jingzhi trembled with fright and hugged Zhao Guiju tightly. Zhao Guiju was worried that Luo Jingzhi would be hurt, so she hurriedly said, "Jingzhi, you go to Grandpa Paulin." ”

Luo Baolin also saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly walked up: "Brother, don't be angry, everything is clear." ”

"If I knew that she would only give birth to money-losing goods, I would marry her into my Feng family's door? Now that I have given birth to two money-losing goods, do you want to bring this money-losing goods to my house as well?" Feng Yanhu opened his throat and roared loudly.

"Where can you talk like that? It's not said on TV that having a boy or a girl is a matter of two people. Who can blame anyone?" said Luo Baolin.

"Don't blame her, blame me? You can't take care of my family's affairs. Zhao Guiju: Let me tell you, you and the daughter born to that short-lived ghost ex-husband don't want to bring into the door of my Feng family. If you can't give birth to a cub, you will get Lao Tzu out of Feng's house. Don't occupy the pit and don't. Feng Yanhu's words were hard to hear.
