The Crossing of Fortune and Prayer Jubilee

After buying back the pen and paper, Lou Hua carefully put the notebook on the table, dotted the black ink with a brush melted in warm water, tightened his waist and abdomen and raised his head straight, holding the pen holder so that the nib rested on the paper with the method taught by his father. superior.Because of tension, the nib vibrates slightly, which makes the originally unsightly characters crawl like caterpillars.

Lou Ming stuck to the side and held his breath watching, his small face was full of envy, awe, nervousness, anticipation and so on.Like a pilgrim watching the incarnation of Buddha.

At Fu Linshu's request, Lou Hua wrote as much detail as possible, and asked Fu Linshu if there was any word he didn't know. After bumping into each other, he really made up the accounts for the past two days.

Lou Yuzhu poked her head over it, and said it was an account book rather than writing a few words on a white book, or traditional Chinese characters written vertically, without format or specification, and looking at it, the words were ugly like caterpillars, and it was impossible to get them out!But such a deadly white book that Lou Yuzhu disliked came to the hands of Lou Chengyi and Zhang Dazhu first class, but it was as prudent as a priceless treasure, and they didn't dare to touch it with their fingers, they just kept looking at it. .

Xu Sele looked at it happily, and patted Fu Linshu's hands: "Teaching children to read is right. In a few days, I will take two copies of the copybooks that Zhang Heng and his brother usually have before the curtain, and let Da Lang practice more."

"Father, please don't, that expensive copybook,"

Xu Se glared at him: "Is it expensive or not? It's a waste to keep things that are meant to be used there and moldy."

Fu Linshu was still waiting to decline, Lou Yuzhu came up happily: "I'm still worried about my elder brother's ugly handwriting, but my grandma thought of a way." He raised his hand and squeezed Fu Linshu's hand: "By the way, grandma, second cousin Do brother and fourth cousin have any written articles at home? If so, bring some."

"There are a lot of that stuff at home, and I will send it together with the copybook some other day." Xu Se was only happy if his brother didn't blame him, but he was not at all unhappy. He touched Lou Yuzhu cheerfully while talking: "We Brother Yu is getting more and more handsome the longer he grows up, how many people will step on the threshold when he grows up!"

Lou Yuzhu was embarrassed.Please tell me the copybook, thank you.

Xu Se was amused by the expression on Lou Yuzhu's face. "Oh, brother Yu, are you shy?"

"...I'll go get some tea."

The appearance of Lou Yuzhu escaping made Zhang Dazhu amused, and he couldn't look at his father's eyes: "Brother Yu is still a child, what is daddy saying? Look, you are embarrassing our brother Yu."

"Why is it early? Let me tell you that this guy grows up very fast, and he will be handsome and handsome in a few blinks." Speaking of this, Xu Se approached Fu Linshu and whispered: "Do you want the marriage of the three children?" Watch closely, we must not let the people from the old house interfere."

Fu Linshu said he knew.In the past, there was no way to separate the family, but now that the old house is divided, it is absolutely impossible to interfere!

Seeing that Fu Linshu knew, Xu Se felt relieved, and when he felt relieved, he thought of other things. "Oh, look at me, an old idiot who caresses about small talk but misses the real business!" Patting his thighs, he got up and went to fetch the bamboo bamboo he had brought. "Here are two catties of fresh fruit, one catty of dried longan and half catty of brown sugar, all for your health," he said, and took out two cages of eggs, and put the cage that was almost too big to fit together with the brown sugar and fresh fruit. "Here are 36 more eggs, all of which are laid by my own chickens. I will deliver them after I finish eating them." Beckoning Lou Yuzhu to put away the things, she got up and picked up another cage of small ones. "I'll send this caged one to the old house. I haven't been to the house for several years. I just went to have a look."

Lou Yuzhu frowned, seeing that Xu Se was kind, so don't be bullied when you meet Liu Ah.Thinking this way in my heart, Lou Yuzhu said the same thing, and immediately put Xu Sele's arms around her for a while, and then nodded at Lou Yuzhu's nose and smiled: "My good grandma, don't you look down on your grandma? The reason why I didn't argue with that old bastard Liu Qingmei before was because you were all living under their hands. Even if you won the fight, it was only temporary, and it was you who suffered in the end. Now I'm not afraid, the old bastard can't let that old bastard take care of us when we split up! Look at my grandma, let me vent my anger to my good grandma!" As he spoke, he carried the cage with one hand and attracted Lou Mingxiong to go to the old house in high spirits.

Lou Yuzhu was stunned. He said that he couldn't adapt to the transformation from a super girl to a queen in a second.

Xu Se led Lou Ming to the old house. Along the way, no matter whether he knew people or not, he stopped and greeted people with a smile. The older ones greeted his elder brother, and the younger ones greeted his uncle. The identity of myself as Lou Mingwai's grandmother and the fact that I brought eggs to Lou's house to visit were completely revealed.When he arrived at the old house and entered the door, he was also a smiling face. The two in-laws never left their mouths, and they had a very affectionate appearance. How good, anyway, praise the old house up and down, wipe away tears after the praise, and say how dull and stupid Fu Linshu is, but if there is a daughter-in-law of the big house and the second house of the Lou family who is even a little bit smart, it will not be where it is today. His face changed, but he couldn't get angry, because Liu Ah really thought that Xu Se was praising him.

After saying such a thing, Mr. Lou's face turned red with anger, so Xu Se gave up and left.On the way back, someone asked Xu Se why he didn't stay at his in-laws' house. Xu Se greeted with a smile, then put away his expression, and sighed: "His uncle also knows about my brother's situation, it doesn't take ten and a half months. But I can’t get out of bed. The three little ones are still small and skinny. The stove is not high enough. The head of the house is a man. How can he take care of the house when he is too busy with other things outside? Thinking of my three good grandsons eating that I have leftovers from cold dishes, my heart is bitten by insects, I don’t want to save food, I have to go back and make that meal quickly.” After speaking, he led Lou Ming back to the house at the end of the village.

Lou Yuzhu stared straight at Lou Mingxue's talk about Xu Se's journey, and deeply felt that Xu Se, who was born in a villager, was a vicious scheming bitch!First, he greeted others with a smile on his face and left a good impression on others. He also said that he came to visit his in-laws and brought eggs to show that he was polite and courteous. Her teasing face turned red, and the journey back was even worse!When the facial expression was closed, it said that he felt sorry for his grandson, didn't he secretly point out that he, the grandma, knew how to feel sorry for his grandson eating leftovers from cold dishes, but what about Mr. Lou and Liu?The three little ones are grandchildren, and the one lying on the bed is still pregnant with one, let alone take care of it, and send a hot meal and hot dish assembly?But look at the old house, it's been a day since I moved, and I haven't stepped through the door to ask what's missing. Is this dear?The third child didn't pick it up, did he?Those who sincerely learned to suspect that it was not that Xu Se did not leave food, but that the old house did not leave anyone to eat at all. After all, when they came to the door, they came back empty-handed with eggs. There is always time to prepare a gift in return without leaving a meal, right?

These are all small tricks, and the consequences are nothing more than making people talk about it for a few days. To that rascal, it may be painless, but Mr. Lou is so respectful. Lou Yuzhu can imagine that after Mr. Lou heard the rumors in the village How ugly his face will be.Indeed, a few days later, when Mr. Lou heard the village's discussion, his eyes darkened with anger, he held his breath and went back and scolded Liu Amo, and he was even more angry when he ate the hard pancake and the sand in the vegetables for dinner He slapped the table hard, and everyone who was present at that time slapped it.Of course, Lou Yuzhu didn't know about this, if she knew, she might applaud on the spot, and give Xu Se a big gift later!

"Wai Ah is really amazing!" Lou Yuzhu felt in his heart.Mr. Lou, who came from a wealthy family, has always looked down on the Zhang family who came from a peasant household, but today he has been ruthlessly tricked, and the local government has yet to appeal!

Lou Hua nodded with a smile: "I used to hear that my grandma is also someone who can't be bullied in the village. I didn't believe it, but now I believe it!"

The three brothers were discussing in the room, and Xu Se went into the kitchen to make lunch.Washing pots, chopping vegetables and stuffing the rice, it's so powerful that Lou Chengyi is several blocks away, and the taste of the cooking is even more incomparable. It makes the stomachs of the three brothers round, and Lou Ming even puts his arms around Xu Se and keeps acting like a baby. He said that he was not allowed to go back, so he stayed at home with his grandma to cook for him, and Xu Se's rare grandson also tried his best to come back.Of course, this is just to tease Lou Ming, the size of the Zhang family's house is no less than that of Lou's family, and it would be impossible without Xu Se, the backbone.

After lunch and chatting for a while, Zhang Dazhu wanted to go back to do some work while it was still early.

Lou Yuzhu didn't say anything about keeping customers, so he went to the kitchen with Lou Hua and took a handful of the white noodles, picked two of the big Bailian carp and crucian carp, cut off half a catty of meat and stuffed it under the fish cage, and packed it up Pass the cage to Zhang Dazhu. "Uncle, pay attention to safety along the way, don't get tired after walking for a while and resting for a while."

After hesitating, Zhang Dazhu put the cage on his back, nodded and smiled in response, and then went out the door with Xu Se one after the other, Lou Chengyi followed behind, and was stopped by Zhang Dazhu a few steps in front of the house.Lou Chengyi had no choice but to turn around, when he went back to the house and saw Lou Ming pawing Lou Hua to wipe his tears, his heart felt sour.The children get close to the foreign grandma because the grandma treats them well, why not being close to the grandma Liu is usually so cold?

"Father, grandma, have they left?"

Lou Chengyi nodded. "I'm back, I said I'll come back in a few days to deliver copybooks."

"Oh, Dad, let's tidy up that fishing net. While it's still early, you might be able to sell some fish."

When Zhang Dazhu was not around, he netted twenty or thirty catties of fish. Lou Chengyi felt a little disappointed, but Lou Yuzhu felt that it was just right. First, there were too many fish and there was no manpower to pull them up. Second, there were too many right fish at once. The fish market is not good either, except of course like the red and white seats.

This time selling fish and Lou Yuzhu went to the town, first to find a master to carve a steelyard for the family, second to buy some paper and ink for Louhua to practice, and third also to see what other livelihoods there are, let alone let him see it. thing.It is also a kind of aquatic product, but this aquatic product is not even seen by farmers.

Lou Yuzhu leaned over and looked at the pointed stone snails and lions piled up in the bamboo cage, their eyes glistened. "Uncle, how do you sell this stone snail lion?"

The stone snail meat has a lot of small silt, so it is far less popular than its relative, the snail. However, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat. The man who sells the stone snail is also trying his luck.Seeing someone ask, the middle-aged man greeted with a smile: "I just found this stone snail lion this morning. It's big and fresh. It costs two cents a pound."

"Then how many catties do you have in total?" Three catties are only two pennies, which means that it is less than a penny and a catty, which is cheap enough.

"Both little brothers?" The middle-aged man stuttered, fearing that Lou Yuzhu was just teasing him. "Where are your adults?"

"I can be the master of my family. Uncle, let me tell you how much your stone snail lion is worth."

Seeing that Lou Yuzhu didn't seem to be teasing him, the middle-aged man hurriedly borrowed someone to weigh him. "It weighs 46 catties with the bamboo cage. My bamboo cage is old and has no moisture. If it is six catties, it will be forty catties."

Lou Yuzhu did the math: "Is it worth 27 Wen for Uncle?" At 27 catties, [-] Wen is still a little less, but the bamboo cage doesn't cost six catties, so he took advantage of it.

"Brother, if you want to buy it, give me 25 Wen."

"Success." Lou Yuzhu turned her head and pulled Lou Chengyi over, paid the money to pour the stone snail lion into her cage, and the deal was considered completed.

Dahan Xindao met the God of Wealth today, and sold the stone snail lion that no one wanted for a high price of 25 yuan. Lou Yuzhu was happy thinking about the deliciousness of the fried snail lion in his memory, and automatically filtered Lou Chengyi's worried With small eyes, he instructs Lou Chengyi to empty a broken water tank and put the stone snail lions in it and mix it with clean water to raise them when they get home. Lou Ming got a new task, which is to fish out the dead ones every once in a while and throw them away.

There is that Shiluoshilou Yuzhu who is not interested in selling fish anymore. He just stares at changing the water every day, just waiting for the silt in the snail lion to spit out and put it into the pot.When the silt in Luoshi's stomach was about to be vomited out, there was finally movement in the old house.
