The Crossing of Fortune and Prayer Jubilee

"Brother is right, we can take this business." If you do the right thing, you need to give affirmation. This is the best way to build confidence. Lou Yuzhu still needs to work hard to cultivate Lou Hua's confidence.

Lou Hua blushed a little, Lou Chengyi's eyes were bright and he was ready to be praised by his brother, but it was a pity that if Lou Yuzhu didn't praise, he turned his head and ordered him to work. "Father, let's break the crucian carp. We also need to build the earthen stove well and wash the newly bought iron pot. Everyone is tired today. Let's have dinner early and go to bed early."

Lou Chengyi was sluggish from being treated differently by his brother, so he went to work.

Lou Hua and Lou Yuzhu looked at each other, and slightly bent their mouths.

The clay stove was repaired by two brothers from the Wei family before, so Lou Chengyi removed the corners and poured water into the pot to heat the fire.Lou Hua carried white noodles and other seasonings bought in the town into the kitchen, and Lou Yuzhu followed behind, holding several handfuls of seasonal vegetables.

"This is the vegetables from Uncle Wei's house, and the dry firewood and the pine hair that started the fire were all from Uncle Wei's house, which is enough for us for several days." Lou Yuzhu said pretending to be unintentional.

Lou Hua also followed suit: "Yes, Dad, when we went to the town, Uncle Wei led the two Uncle Wei to help tidy up around the house and did a lot of work, and even sent a dozen eggs, saying they were for eating. When it's over, he'll send it over so Dad can take care of himself."

"That's right, Uncle Wei's family has a total of six chickens. They lay so many eggs every day that they are reluctant to eat and they are sent to our house. The icing on the cake is easy to give charcoal in the snow. It's the so-called repayment of kindness. Father, when our family's situation is better Please report to Uncle Wei's house." Lou Yuzhu glanced at Lou Chengyi.

It was ashamed that the muscular man blushed at the glance of his brother.All the neighbors knew that the new house had nothing to do with it, and they brought vegetables and firewood to live on. They also knew that they helped tidy up the house and repaired the yard, and even sent eggs to Fu Linshu, who had a small birth. But what about the Lou family?How harsh it was when the family was divided, he obviously made all the dry firewood used at home, but Mr. Lou didn't give any of it, and the vegetables in the vegetable garden were all from his wife's, but he only said that he would go to the garden if necessary Li picked it up, I thought I knew Liu Ah's temper would really let their family pick it up?Those dozens of chickens are usually fed by Lou Ming, but it is difficult to eat a single egg all year round, and this miscarriage, is it Liu Ahmai who pushed it? In fact, Lou Chengyi knows it very well, and he is not the only one who knows. The people in the old house knew in their hearts that there was still something about the safflower, thinking of these honest men like Lou Chengyi, his eyes were sour and he almost shed tears.

"Don't worry," Lou Chengyi turned his back and secretly wiped his eyes with his sleeve. "I won't help the old house in the future."

Hearing this, Lou Hua breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to wash the dishes without stopping, "Father, it's not that we don't allow you to help the old house, it's just that there should be a limit to everything, we have to eat even after we split up." I want to live and want to live well, the sages say do everything according to my ability, it is stupid to take care of others when I can't take care of myself." Even if you are stupid, you have to be stupid and have value. If you don't get it right, I'm afraid you will be scolded by the other party for being stupid behind your back.

Lou Chengyi, who was scolded by his son and was ashamed, didn't feel it at all, he just felt guilty, guilty that these children didn't live a good life with him, and even more guilty that these children were tempered so old at such a young age, sensible.All the children knew how to plan for this family. Didn't he break the hearts of the children because he is still not enlightened as a father?Wiping his eyes, Lou Chengyi turned his head and smiled at Lou Hua: "From now on, if I mess up, you can stop me, or you can scold me."

Lou Yuzhu raised her eyebrows: "That's what dad said, don't say we're not filial at that time!" So much foreshadowing is waiting for Lou Chengyi to express his opinion, and it seems that the effect is better than expected.

"No, definitely not!"

Lou Chengyi's firm stand made the two brothers happy. Of course, they didn't expect Lou Chengyi to completely ignore the old house in the future, but with this attitude in the future, they could at least control most of it. It will be able to firmly occupy the dominant position in the contest.It doesn't get any better than this.

While talking, the father and son quickly started dinner, Lou Yuzhu lit the fire, Lou Hua helped, and Lou Chengyi supported the kitchen.Normally, a man who is the master of the house would not work in the kitchen, but Lou Chengyi is an exception. First, he helped Liu Ama when he was a child, and second, it was because Fu Lin was too busy with too much homework. Help a little bit and learn a little bit over time.This is also one of the reasons why Liu Ahmo hates Ji Sanfang.

Mr. Lou is the only son in the family, and the two elders were rich and noble people who were brought up since childhood. Later, the family fell into poverty and moved to Yanjia Village. Housework, big and small, naturally fell on the newly married Liu Ama.Don't look at Liu Amo who doesn't stretch out her hands now, but it was hard before. The most difficult time was when the eldest child was only two years old, and she was pregnant with another child, and she had to work in the kitchen with a big belly The family was sweating profusely during lunch, but Mr. Lou didn't help.But Lou Chengyi is very good, he loves to take care of his daughter-in-law when he has nothing to do, and Fu Linshu 01:30 will be tired, so if he is eye-catching for a long time, won't he be jealous?As time goes by, jealousy can be regarded as the past.

Of course, these are all old things from the old days. If the eight people dug them out and told Lou Yuzhu, even if they said it, Lou Yuzhu would probably sneer.One should have lingering fears about the hardships oneself have suffered. What's the point of hating others and imposing the hardships one has suffered on others instead of thinking about it? !If everyone is like Liu Ah Mo, who else in this world would dare to be someone's new wife?So based on what Liu Ahmo is doing now, no matter how much he has suffered before, he is not worthy of sympathy!

Not much gossip, Chengyi stewed thick milky white soup with the big bone, gave Fu Linshu half a bowl of white noodles for the first to eat, and put the rest on the stove to heat up; The crucian carp is braised in oil, followed by stir-fried vegetables, and a pot of thick rice is added for dinner.

To Lou Yuzhu, this dinner looked vulgar, but counting the days in the old house for more than half a month, this meal was very sumptuous!At least I saw the oily fish, and the fish, the most beautiful thing is to replace the dry and unpalatable flatbread!congratulations!

After the dishes were out of the pan and served with coarse rice, the last dim light outside the house disappeared. Lou Ming carefully protected the bean-sized oil lamp and placed it on the table to illuminate the family.

After eating, Lou Chengyi took the initiative to clear up the dishes, and Lou Hua came out with copper coins to settle the accounts.

"Four grass carp sold for 67 renminbi, three carp for 41 renminbi, and four crucian carp for 110 renminbi, totaling 210 92 renminbi, and it cost [-] renminbi to buy a fishing net." Lou Hua frowned: "We lost [-] renminbi."

"This can't be considered a loss. If you want to calculate it this way, you can't calculate it." Lou Yuzhu smiled: "Let's do it this way. Brother Ming'er will go to the town to buy a white book and pen and ink to make an account book for the family. Just do two. Items, one input and one output, we will calculate in detail in January and a half."

"Huh? Still spending money to buy that pen and paper? Let's write it down and forget it." According to Louhua's knowledge, the farmers do not have the habit of buying pens and paper to keep accounts.You must know how expensive pens and paper are, buying such a small amount is enough for a meal at home!

"How much can we remember by ourselves? The so-called good memory is not as good as a bad pen. This day will last for a long time and we can't be so sloppy. Are you daddy?" What's a meal of meat?If Lou Huan could use the opportunity of keeping accounts to get used to writing with pen and paper, it would be worth more than a meal of meat!

Fu Linshu was sitting on the bed sewing trousers for Lou Ming, when he heard the words, he raised his head: "It's better to be more careful in doing accounts, and to learn those unfamiliar characters while I have free time."

"Hey, this is a good idea. When the big brother is familiar with it, he can teach us how to do it. It's much better than writing on a sandboard!"

"Really? I can learn too?" Lou Ming lay on the table and looked at Lou Hua with bright eyes.

Lou Hua thought for a while, and finally nodded. "Of course, tomorrow I will go to the town to buy pens and paper, and when I have learned it, I will teach my second brother."

The matter of buying pens and paper was settled in this way. After Lou Chengyi boiled hot water for the family to wash and comb, he turned off the lights and rested, waiting for the next day to come.

Before dawn, Lou Chengyi got up habitually, but he stared blankly at this strange place for a long time before he regained consciousness. Fu Linshu also opened his eyes habitually and got up to work.

Lou Chengyi hurriedly stopped him: "His father is lying down soon, you are pregnant now."

Fu Linshu was startled before he remembered that they had separated, and even more so when he remembered his own situation, he froze and dared not move.

"You continue to lie down, I'll go to the kitchen to make breakfast." Lou Chengyi got off the plank bed, put on his shoes and looked at his three brothers on the opposite plank bed.Taking advantage of the dim light, Lou Hua slept on the outermost side, Lou Ming slept in the middle, and Lou Yuzhu was squeezed into the innermost place. Fortunately, the three brothers were still fit enough to take a nap and they didn't feel too crowded.Seeing how the three brothers were sleeping soundly, Lou Chengyi felt that the exhaustion from getting up early was swept away, and gently pulled the three brothers back into place before turning around and going to work in the kitchen.

I fried pancakes and warmed up the bone soup, and served the noodles to my daughter-in-law in the room.

Fu Linshu took it and put it aside, and said in a low voice, "Leave it for now, I don't want to eat it yet." The sound of eating noodles might wake up the three brothers, so Fu Linshu decided to eat it later.

How could Lou Chengyi not know that his daughter-in-law felt sorry for the little ones and wanted them to sleep more?Without pointing out, he replied in a low voice: "Then I'll put the noodles in the kitchen to heat up, and bring them back when I want to eat."

"it is good."

Lou Chengyi took the noodles back and warmed them up on the stove with the pancakes, and then went to work on his own.

After the dawn of dawn, the three brothers started to be fascinated, and Lou Hua first went to the kitchen to serve Fu Linshu the hot noodles, then led the two younger brothers to wash their mouths and wash their faces, and brought out big pancakes and hot soup to eat. , Lou Chengyi's voice talking to outsiders sounded outside the house.
