The Crossing of Fortune and Prayer Jubilee

Soon it was time to go to the market once every five days. The three brothers rushed to Yishan Academy with the brown-leaf grasshopper weaved a day earlier, and the book boy who had been waiting there earlier greeted them.

"You can count!"

Lou Yuzhu's eyes lit up, and she recognized the book boy who was the fat boy who wrapped the brown-leaf grasshopper last time. "Brother, I'm sorry, it took a while for our family to travel far away, please wait!"

The book boy waved his hand to signal the fat young master to wait in a hurry and not to gossip. "How many grasshoppers do you have this time? My young master made it round."

Lou Hua and Lou Ming were overjoyed, and Lou Yuzhu took out the cloth bag. "The adults in the family thought it was easy to sell, so they made up a few more, and there are nineteen grasshoppers in total,"

Hearing that nineteen bookboys were a little hesitant, seven or eight rounds would not be a problem, isn't nineteen a bit too much?

Lou Yuzhu pretended not to notice, lowered her head and took out the grasshopper from the bag. "This time we made up the big one and the small one. Do you think the two big ones and three small ones together make a family of five? Or four big ones and two small ones. There are grandpas, grandpas, and daddies on the bottom. With a younger brother, a family of six is ​​the happiest."

Comparing the number of grasshoppers to the number of family members, this kind of marketing method attached to bundled value is too far-fetched, and Lou Yuzhu is also wondering whether the fat boy will buy it.

When the book boy went out, the fat boy gave the money. It was no problem to buy nineteen o'clock brown grasshoppers, but he was afraid that he would blame his young master for buying too much.

"If this elder brother is not sure, why not go back and ask the young master? We will wait here as long as it does not exceed the tea time, and we will never sell it to others."

The eyes of the hesitant book boy brightened. "Really?" Seeing the three brothers nodding firmly, they said, "Then let me go back and ask." Turning around, she ran away.

Seeing people running away, Lou Hua showed concern. "Brother Yu, what if he doesn't come back? Will it delay our sale of grasshoppers?"

"There's no delay. If he doesn't come, it's only tea time, and there will always be elementary school students passing by; when he comes, the grasshoppers can save us a lot of trouble. Even if we can buy seven or eight without wrapping rounds We made a profit. We can’t miss out on such big clients just because we have to wait for this tea time, and it’s a big taboo for businessmen to ‘lose a fortune because of a small one’.” Lou Yuzhu narrowed her eyes.It will definitely come, the difference is how much you buy, judging by the behavior of the fat boy, this thing will not worry about selling.At least not now.

Before it was time for a cup of tea, the book boy quickly ran over from the other end. He was relieved to see the three brothers staying there, but at the same time, his heart tightened. He asked without waiting for panting, "Is the grasshopper still there?"

Lou Yuzhu nodded with a smile. "This big brother is not in a hurry, the tea time is not over yet."

The book boy let out a long breath, feeling embarrassed to pat his head. "After I went back, my young master scolded me for fear that you, a grasshopper, would be sold by others. It's okay, okay, otherwise I wouldn't be able to pay the job." He counted nineteen cents. "Here, nineteen pennies."

Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other hand, Lou Yuzhu smiled and stuffed four coins to the book boy, and smiled at the book boy. "Thank you for the kind words of the elder brother, the young master remembers us. It is also hard for the elder brother to run so many times early in the morning."

The book boy touched the back of his head, feeling a little embarrassed.He is 13 years old this year, and he is at the age of betrothal engagement in a peasant family. He already has a vague idea of ​​the difference between a brother and a boy. "No thanks. If my young master still wants this grasshopper, I will come to you in the next episode."

"Okay." That's what Lou Yuzhu was waiting for. "We'll still be here in the next episode, and if Big Brother hasn't come by this time, we'll sell someone else."

"to make!"

Watching the book boy run away, the three of them hid in the corner with a meat bun as usual and ate.Compared to the first wolfing down, Lou Yuzhu has become much more refined.In the past few days, the brothers and sisters have been fishing and selling them in the town, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, sometimes two, sometimes one, and sometimes three, with an average income of [-] Wen a day, and if they have money, they will buy jade beads Zhuo Louhua buys some food to improve the live food of the three brothers.For example, the six eggs I bought with Liu Amo when I sold fish for the first time were boiled and eaten by the three brothers in bamboo tubes on the mountain in two days.

After Lou Ming ate a meat bun and licked the meat residue on his fingers, he thought he could eat another one, but he was an obedient boy and would not want any more.

Lou Hua touched the twelve coins hidden in his inner pocket, hesitated and said, "Should I buy two for Dad and Dad?" The three brothers who sell fish for several days have saved no less than 180 coins. This is not a small sum of money, let alone three children.

If you have money, you will love your family, and you will not be stingy. Lou Yuzhu likes Lou Hua's character. "Buy it, but the second brother has to watch them rinse their mouths after eating."

"Well, I know."

For two meat buns, Lou Hua persuaded Lou Chengyi and his wife to eat them under the pretext of picking up some mushrooms to sell, and then rinsed his mouth several times, but was still scolded by Liu Ama when he didn't want to go home.

"Tell me! Did you secretly take money to buy food when you came back so late?!"

Without any proof, he could curse people like a catastrophe if he was in a bad mood, that's how Liu Ahmo disliked Sanfang.

It is a fact that they ate meat buns, but they did not come from the money from selling vegetables.Lou Chengyi is an honest man, Liu Ama saw the twinkle in his eyes, and immediately gasped, his anger exploded like mountains and seas!Staring at Lou Chengyi and Fu Linshu as if his eyes were poisoned, he opened his mouth to curse. "Okay, Lou Chengyi, you are an unfilial son, since you really stole money from your father's office to buy food?! You've eaten a rotten belly, you bad bastard, a black heart, say! How much money did you steal?! What did you buy?!"

Lou Yuzhu was not afraid of causing trouble, so she looked at Lou Hua and stood next to the couple.

"Ah, father and father have been selling vegetables from dawn to dusk for so many years. When did you ever greedy the money from your father?" Lou Yuzhu shed two tears.It is true that the money for the meat buns was not paid by the public, and he refuted with confidence!

Lou Hua answered. "Ah, how many vegetables are planted in the vegetable garden at home, and how many vegetables are collected from each collection, and I can tell if I have stolen it or counted the money."

Lou Ming received Lou Yuzhu's instructions in the morning, hugged Lou Chengyi's leg and howled loudly. "My dad didn't steal the money or steal it!"

At this time, it was time to eat breakfast and go to work. When the neighbors heard the sound, they immediately moved to this side.The house in this building has been so noisy for three to five days, tsk, it's really exciting!Listen carefully, there is no shortage of chatting topics tonight!

"Why didn't you steal him?!"

"My father is not guilty, he is sad." Lou Yuzhu opened her voice to ensure that outsiders could hear. "My father and father worked hard to take care of the vegetable garden. When the cock crowed, we got up to pick vegetables. We rushed to the town before dawn for fresh food. We didn't dare to hide anything! When the fields were not busy The second uncle rested at home, and my father went out to help. The salary of [-] Wen per day plus half a cent of the reward from the host family was handed in. I was busy all year round and could taste some meat during the Chinese New Year. My fifth brother fed chickens for a year. I can’t bear to eat a single egg, so I leave it all to Gongzhong!”

The Lou family feeds thirteen hens and two roosters. Even in hot weather, they can pick up three or five eggs every day, but the Lou family has never sold a single egg or seen it on the dining table all year round. Where did the eggs go?

Everyone in the Lou family knew it well, but Lou Chengyi foolishly believed Liu Ahma's words and sold them at other people's homes.Most of the eggs were sent to Lou Chengzuna in the town, a small part was sent to Louyuanlou Wuna in the next village, and the rest were treated by Lou Ahma.Ji Xiaorong can eat one from time to time, but Sanfang, who is the hardest, doesn't have any. In the past few years, Liu Ama has kept this kind of small cooking behavior a little bit concealed. In the past few years, he probably knows that Sanfang dare not fart. The more presumptuous they became, the sooner they saw it, they would just scold them away without even a solution.

The eavesdroppers outside the wall exchanged glances.They are all neighbors, who doesn't know what's going on in each house, and they all say that Lou's live food is good and they eat eggs every now and then.

Eavesdropping is not talking in a low voice.

"This eccentricity has reached the throat,"

"Isn't that right? The daughter-in-law of the eldest and second wife doesn't need to work in the fields, and the only third wife is busy from dawn to dusk. Although our farmer's family is not so poor, doesn't this comparison make a big difference?"

"That's right, I haven't had a good word to say since I was tired from morning to night, and I still have to serve this family when I come back, tsk,"

"It's fine for the big ones, after all, that's the thing, but what about the little ones? Look, the big and the second ones are white and fat, and the little ones have rosy faces, and the three are all skinny and sallow. It was eaten at a dinner table? I wouldn’t believe it even if I was killed!”

"Hey, believe it or not, the old man who is in charge of the family said that the third house should work harder if it is capable, and will definitely compensate the third house when the eldest house earns a fortune!"

"Yo, that's what the old man told San'er to raise money for his eldest son Ke Kao, right? But look at what Sanfang is like now? Now he's telling Sanfang's juniors the same way, tsk, this is going to trap Sanfang What the hell~"

"Isn't that right? Based on what the big house is doing now, do you believe that the big house will support the third house after passing the exam?"

"Do you believe?"

"Believe in ghosts!"

It's enough for Mr. Lou to say something that everyone with a discerning eye knows, so thick-skinned.
