The Crossing of Fortune and Prayer Jubilee

Yanjia Village has mountains, water and fields.The mountains are good mountains, the water is good water, and the fields are good fields, but the supposed fish with rice has always been facing poverty.It cannot be said that the emperor is harsh. In fact, the current emperor is still a rare wise emperor. He does not spend extravagantly, does not favor treacherous ministers, and never increases taxes for no reason. It stands to reason that such a wise emperor and the people should be rich, but suffering is not beautiful. More than ten years ago, a once-in-a-century drought destroyed the economy of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, only one grain was planted in the field and the yield was not high. Thank God for the farmers who can feed their families.

The clothes of the people who went out to work were patched and patched, their faces were sallow and thin, their big bare feet were thickened with mud and calluses were cracked, and their waists could not straighten due to frequent overwork.It is even more rare to see mud bricks in the houses, most of them are the kind of mud bricks with grass straws added to the soil where the Lou family lived. But just like this, Yanjia Village was still a rich village in the Yuan Dynasty.

Lou Yuzhu looked away and shook her head secretly. This can be called a rich village, but it can be seen what a poor village is like.

The weather in February was warm and cold, and Lou Hua took his two younger brothers into the forest and was still a little cold when the wind blew.

"Brother, there are mushrooms there!" Lou Ming's eyes were sharp, and he saw a small piece of fungus behind a loose hair.

Lou Hua took the lead and rushed over, brushed away the pine hair and his eyes lit up: "It's the red fungus."

Lou Yuzhu probed over to look, and the well-informed and talented student said he didn't know him, and found out from the memory of the original body that this kind of wild fungus was edible.Wild mountain mushrooms are delicious, and farmers are reluctant to eat them. This kind of wild mushrooms that don’t cost money is the best way to satisfy your cravings.

"It should be because the sun has risen in the past few days that the fungus came out so quickly." In previous years, the fungus hadn't come out at this time, and after a while, there were a lot of wild fungi, and there was no wild fungus in this flat place. "Look around again, there should be more."

The greedy Lou Ming immediately glanced around like laser beams, and indeed let him find two places, fearing that someone would snatch one, Lou Hua pinched a few trees, plucked a few leaves, bent and twisted a few times, and finally Tie a knot and it becomes a simple cage.

Rural kids are such dicks!Lou Yuzhu said that the children in the city are not envious of coming.

Picking up the red fungus into the cage, Lou Hua weighed it. "Should be able to eat a meal."

It was Lou Ming who was happiest when he heard that he could eat a meal.Lou Yuzhu said that the innocent young lady is easy to coax, and it is not bad to know that so many people in Lou's family can eat two slices on the table, isn't it Liu Ah who is so partial to the eyes of her throat!

"Second brother, it's still early, let's walk up. Maybe we can find some fungus."

Lou Ming immediately stared at Jia Lou Hua with piercing eyes.

Lou Hua couldn't help laughing: "OK, let's go up again. But just a little bit, we are less afraid of encountering tigers."

"There are tigers in the mountains?" Lou Yuzhu's eyes lit up.The king of beasts, it's still original, it's really rare!

"Yes, I heard from the old people in the village that there was little food in the winter when the mountains were closed, and the tigers went down the mountains to eat livestock. Now there are fewer people in the village, and the tigers are afraid of people."

Because tigers are much more terrifying than humans.Throughout the ages, killing people without seeing blood and eating people without spitting out bones, is there still a lot of things in Zhuangzhuang?Putting away the embarrassment in her heart, Lou Yuzhu settled down and concentrated on looking at the surrounding environment.I know what I don’t know, what is valuable and what is not, after sorting out, I found that there is really no future for development.

There is no good wood, no precious medicinal materials, and even the three children can't get game. If you want to get money from the mountains, you have to stop first.The mountain does not turn and the water turns, Lou Yuzhu aimed her eyes at the reservoir where the water is stored.In order to prevent the kind of severe drought more than ten years ago, the originally small reservoir was enlarged and deepened, and it has not been dry until now. Presumably there should be a lot of big fish.

It’s just that if you want to fish, you need to use a hook and fishing line, and even if the things are small, you have to use money to buy them. As far as the poor are concerned, let alone a penny and a half!

When they arrived at Louhua, they drove the two younger brothers back, and saw Lou Yuzhu frowning, thinking that the other party still wanted to play. "We can't go to the mountains. Let's go to Pinggu to see if the sweet plums are ripe."

Lou Ming was the first to second when he heard that there was something to eat.

Sweet plum is a wild snack that rural children often eat. It is called differently in the dialect of each place. For example, the village next door likes to call it Dixianpao.Lou Yuzhu looked through the memories of her original body, and by comparison, it should be called Cranberry or Thorn Bubble in modern times. "Brother, the sweet plums should not be ripe yet,"

"Not necessarily, maybe it's ripe ahead of time like a fungus?" Lou Hua also slipped the cage on his hand to Lou Yuzhu, trying to divert his attention.

Lou Yuzhu, who knew his intentions, couldn't laugh or cry.But holding the cage in his hand, he had an idea. "Second brother, tomorrow is the town market, right?"

"According to the day, it should be."

The main street in the town is full of people on the day of the market. The small vendors who buy and sell things, and the people who go shopping at the market, are shoulder to shoulder and step on their feet together. Those who have intensive phobia really can’t stay. .

"Brother Yu wants to go to the town to play?"

"Not to play. Fifth brother wants to eat meat buns, I thought of a way, I should be able to earn money to buy meat buns."

The word 'meat bun' successfully caught the attention of Lou Hua and Lou Ming, especially Lou Ming, who can drool under the imagination.

"What way?"

"follow me."

There are meat buns and sweet plums are all clouds!Looking through the memory of the original body, I went to the back of someone's house and secretly picked two palm leaves. Lou Yuzhu led the two young ladies and ran home secretly, took out the scissors and cut the palm leaves into strips. Relying on the memory of the manual class in elementary school, I stumbled and re-made it several times before successfully weaving it into a not-perfect grasshopper.Lou Yuzhu's weaving was slow and bumpy and wasted several pieces, so that it just gave the impression that the human race was not very skilled.

"Second brother, what do you think if you sell this thing in a market, how about two for a penny?" The people in the town are quite wealthy, so they might not give up a penny to buy a novelty toy for their children. "I think a peddler who came to the village to collect things made up this thing before, and I don't know if it will work." The child must like it, and you can tell from Lou Ming's expression, but I don't know if there is anyone in the town who is willing to pay for it.

"It's time to try." Lou Huajue's work can be done, after all, no one has seen this novel object before.

Some people support Lou Yuzhu's immediate success. "Then let's pick some more palm leaves and weave more while it's bright."

Lou Hua nodded. "It's just that if you make it up now, will it fade away tomorrow?"

"No, the dew is heavy at night, we hide in the forest to ensure it will be fresh the next day." While talking, the three of them slipped out of the house, just as Lou Jinzhu and Lou Yinzhu who were hunting hogweed came back.

"Second brother." Lou Jinzhu called out, Lou Yinzhu didn't want to be winked by Lou Jinzhu, so she called out reluctantly.

"Second brother. Fifth brother." Lou Yinzhu is half a year younger than Lou Ming.

"En." Lou Hua responded with a glance.Lou Ming puffed his cheeks and Bangzi said 'hmm'.

There are three generations of the Lou family, Dalang is the Louwen from the Dafang, followed by Louhua the Sanfang, Louyuan the Sanlang the Sanlang and Louwu the Silang, Lou Ming the Wulang the Sanfang, and the brother generation, Lou Mingzhu is the largest, followed by Lou Mingzhu. Lou Jinzhu, Lou Yinzhu and Lou Yuzhu are the youngest brothers in the third room.

In the Yuan Dynasty, boys and elder brothers were ranked separately in seniority, so Lou Hua was younger than Lou Mingzhu but ranked second. Brothers are generally not called by seniority, and the names of peers and elders are followed by "brother". For the second word, the junior is the name added before the word 'brother'.

"Brother Jin."

"Brother Jin, Brother Yin." Compared to Lou Ming's reluctance, Lou Yuzhu shouted embarrassment or embarrassment.Dare to call mynah? !

"Fifth Brother and Brother Yu are just recovering from a serious illness. It's better for Second Brother to take them out as little as possible. You can't just play and ignore your health." Lou Jinzhu spoke softly, coupled with a gentle face that was very similar to Xu Chunting's. Generous attitude.

Lou Yuzhu's teeth were gritted with a gentle attitude but the meaning in the words, what does it mean to just care about playing and disregarding her body?The ability to hide needles in the cotton has really been learned from Xu Chunting ten to ten!From the memory of the original body, he has learned the attitude of Xu Chunting's eldest daughter-in-law, ignoring the family affairs in the name of adding embroidery to the family, and being modest on the surface, secretly using Ji Xiaorong as a weapon!Lou Jinzhu learned a lot of skills from his father, one of which is to make the second bedroom junior bully the third bedroom!

Lou Yuzhu squinted her eyes: "Brother Jin and Brother Yin are back from hunting pigweed? Is the portion tender enough? Is it not tender enough? The pig will not grow fat if it is not tender enough. By the way, after weeding the pigweed, you have to sweep the pigsty The chicken coop," swept the surrounding area: "The yard still needs to be swept, the vegetable garden needs to be watered, the pine hair that caused the fire at home is gone, and I have to get rid of it. Uncle Li's pine forest in the back can't be plucked. If you want to pine, you have to go. The area in front of the village."

Lou Yinzhu was trembling with anger, if it wasn't for Lou Jinzhu's pull, she would definitely be able to rush up and fight for her life!

A year ago, Xu Chunting, in the name of teaching embroidery, let Liu Ahmo avoid such miscellaneous things as gold and silver beads, and Xu Erfang Lou, Yuan Louwu went to the town to study, and the second room was blocked. After that, most of these chores fell to the third room. On her body, Lou Mingzhu only put on a show.

Jinzhu pulled Yinzhu, smiled and asked: "Apart from these, what else? Brother Yu, please tell me carefully, so that we don't miss anything."

hypocritical!Lou Yuzhu didn't miss the coldness in her eyes. "I'll remember so much in a while. If you don't understand Brother Jin, you can ask Brother Ming. Brother Ming was banned enough but not banned." He played tricks at a young age, tsk, really good The beam is not right and the beam is crooked. "Second brother, let's go."

Lou Hua nodded, and led one out of the door with one hand.

Lou Yinzhu's eyes almost spit fire. "Brother Jin, you should let me go just now to see if I don't tear off that little hoof!"

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big mess!" Jin Zhu said to her younger brother: "Father will have a rest in a few days, and it is not easy for grandpa to blame him if he comes forward."

Speaking of Lou Chengzu, the big house of the Lou family, he is also a strange thing, he is a scholar with the money of the official, and he did not get a penny from teaching in the town. I come back once or twice a month and treat my home like a hotel.However, such a shopkeeper is still a favorite of his life!

Speaking of this matter, I have to mention the ancestors of the Lou family.The ancestors of the Lou family were wealthy households in neighboring counties who once gave birth to masters of Juren. Later, their family fortunes fell and they had to move to Yanjia Village.Mr. Lou, who has enjoyed the prosperity, misses the former wealth and glory. He wants to emulate his ancestors. He knows that he is not a material for studying, so he pins his hopes on the next generation.Lou Chengzu was born under the expectation of Mr. Lou. Later, when Lou Chengzu showed his talent for reading, Mr. Lou wept with joy. He used a family's resources on one person. Well, when it comes to suffering, I would rather be a family eating chaff and bark than buying paper and ink for Lou Chengzu!On the day Lou Chengzu was selected as a scholar, Mr. Lou burst into tears on the spot!

It's a pity that Lou Chengzu stopped at a scholar!It is certain that Mr. Lou is disappointed, but he can't help that Lou Chengzu gave birth to a good son, Lou Wen, who is better than blue. He was born as a child at the age of 12, two years earlier than Lou Chengzu was!If the son can't do it, there is still a grandson, the big house is always the treasure in Mr. Lou's heart.

No matter how angry Lou Yinzhu was, Lou Hua led the two younger brothers to steal a lot of palm leaves.Palm leaves are worthless, but they can’t hold back the poverty of the peasants. Use everything to make the best use of it, or use it as a palm fan or weave summer mats. If you don’t have that kind of friendship, you want to pick it up.

It was not safe to weave in the house, so Lou Hua found a secluded place, and Lou Yuzhu weaved for him to learn while Lou Ming helped.

Weaving these exquisite objects requires first hand dexterity and second ingenuity. There is no shortage of ingenuity in having a complete weaving method in your mind. Blessed by Toge’s dexterity, except for the first two if there are flaws, the latter ones are perfect.

Lou Ming carefully held one in his palm, and couldn't hide the surprise on his face.

"I also saw that the peddler knits other styles, but unfortunately I forgot this one at the time." Modern people tend to strive for excellence, and small bugs are just trivial, and the kind of large-scale knitting is called a supernatural workmanship.

Lou Hua looked encouragingly: "Remembering one kind is already very remarkable!"

Lou Yuzhu grinned, that's right, he scored full marks in one handicraft class among the twenty or so boys in the whole class.The two defective ones were scraped off, and eight complete grasshoppers were weaved from the remaining palm leaves.They wrapped them in leaves and hid them in a dewy place, and the three of them returned to the yard.

It was still early and the adults were still busy in the fields, Lou Yuzhu looked at the cleaned pig pens and chicken pens, looked at Lou Hua, and couldn't help pursing her lips with joy.

Lou Hua patted him down to calm him down, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. "Go, go back to the house."

Taking advantage of the light, Lou Hua led the two back into the house and locked the door behind him, dragged out a sand table the size of a chessboard from under the wooden bed. "The calligraphy practice of the past two days has fallen behind, and I will make up for it today."

Practice calligraphy?Lou Yuzhu pretended to take a handkerchief and searched her original memory.The three brothers are indeed secretly practicing calligraphy with a sand table, and the person who teaches is Fu Linshu!

Reading is a job that burns money. Fu Lin's bookbender obviously does not have this condition, so how did he know how to read?Lou Yuzhu looked through the memory of the original body and found that he also asked, but Fu Linshu didn't want to say that Lou Chengli also looked very lonely, and the practice of calligraphy was done secretly, so the original body was sensible and didn't ask.

"Second brother, what characters are we learning today?" Lou Ming was obviously enthusiastic about learning calligraphy.

"Today we are going to learn a little poem." Lou Hua scratched the cut branch on the sand table, and as he turned his wrist, a line of traditional Chinese characters appeared.

Lou Yuzhu, who couldn't even guess and understand the meaning, burst into tears.

Lou Hua stared at the sand table and didn't notice Lou Yuzhu's strangeness, so he used the branches to signal one by one. "Bed, front, bright, moon, light,"

Suspected of frost on the ground, raise your head to look at the bright moon, lower your head to think about your hometown!

Knowing the follow-up, Lou Yuzhu felt the deep malice from the Yuan Dynasty!

Can you still have fun? !Revisiting the preschool curriculum?hehe!
