The Crossing of Fortune and Prayer Jubilee

"W-why did this happen? It's not his fault that my father's status as a second-class citizen, so many years ago, my father has been doing nothing but working hard..." Lou Hua's lips trembled, and the hand holding the fishing rod began to tremble.

"My father's status as a second-class citizen is wrong in the eyes of my father, no matter how hard and hard I work, it is wrong."

Lou Hua licked his lips, and tightened his grip on the fishing rod. "But Dad's second-class household registration is stipulated by the court,"

"We can't change Dad's identity and household registration for the time being, but we can find ways to break out of this predicament."

"How to earn?"

"Break up."

Lou Hua was overjoyed when he heard this, but dejected the next moment. "It's a rule that parents don't separate families."

"The rule is that the dead are alive, not to mention that there is no law that clearly stipulates that the parents can't separate the family. Isn't the step-a-mo's family in the village separated because the parents are present?"

Lou Hua also knew about the separation of the family from the step-a-mo at the head of the village, but it was with the permission of the old man, which was different from the situation of Lou's family. "Ah, I'm sure you won't allow it. If you want to save face, you won't allow it." Liu Ahma was very happy to order Sanfang, how could she let Sanfang leave.

"If the old man cares about face, he will lose face. As for Ah, tsk, as long as he thinks that our third wife is just a burden, and we don't mention it, Ah Mo will take the initiative to mention it." Lou Yuzhu lowered her eyes. "If there is trouble, it will not make it difficult for us to separate the third room. This matter can be considered slowly. The main thing now is to let father and father have a sense of separation." Fu Linshu is not stupid Well, it's easy to say, the hard part is Lou Chengyi.

"Father and Father, I'll go and talk to them slowly." Lou Hua is the eldest son and has always been calm, so it is indeed most appropriate for him to say this.

"Okay, but bro, you must remember that this news cannot be leaked out. If you want us to be separated without feeling sad, the word separation cannot come out of our mouths."

"I know." The 11-year-old Lou Hua is more mature and prudent than the [-]- or [-]-year-olds.They are all forced by life.

The simple-minded Lou Ming didn't know how important what he said just now was, so he ran back excitedly and shouted, "Brother, why haven't you seen the fish biting and fishing yet?"

Lou Hua and Lou Yuzhu looked at each other, planning to hide it from Lou Ming.One is because he is afraid that the outspoken Lou Ming will leak the news, and the other is that he doesn't want Lou Ming to worry.The silly and cute little Zhengtai should be happy and carefree.

"Fishing can't be rushed," it has only been a quarter of an hour since the hook was hooked, and it is normal that there is no fish to bite.

Lou Hua lowered his eyebrows: "Do you want to change the place?"

Lou Yuzhu lifted the hook and looked at the bait. "The bait is still there, wait a minute." He said and threw the fishing line into the water.

Perhaps it was just before the time came, and this time the buoy moved within a few breaths of the hook.Lou Yuzhu's expression tightened to signal silence, and then she stared at the buoy seriously.

Fishing also pays attention to skills. If you start fishing too early, the fish may just bite the hook tentatively. If you start fishing too late, the fish may eat all the bait.The timing must be grasped, neither too soon nor too late is the key to success.

Fortunately, Lou Yuzhu's predecessor did not lack this kind of know-how.Breathing lightly, he stared at the buoy closely, and slammed the fishing rod after the buoy sank three times.Immediately, the twine was straightened, and the water splashed by the fish struggling underwater.

Lou Ming jumped up happily: "I caught it, I caught it!"

Lou Hua was also excited.

It's not easy for Lou Yuzhu to hit the two of them. You must know that the tools are rough and a careless fish can break the twine and escape.Fortunately, Lou Yuzhu had thought of this a long time ago, so the fishing spot was deliberately chosen next to a gentle slope.I was not in a hurry to pick up the fish. I waited for the fish to struggle for a while and lost its strength, then slowly dragged it to a gentle slope, and then pulled it violently when it was close to the shore.

A grass carp weighing four to five catties was immediately dragged ashore.Lou Hua and Lou Ming, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately rushed forward and caught him.

"Brother, be gentle and don't crush the fish to death," Lou Yuzhu leaned forward and took the fish out of its mouth. "Let's put the fish in the water for a while and see if we can catch one so we can sell it in the town together." Hearing this, Lou Hua immediately put the fish in a shallow puddle and told Lou Ming to watch the fish. Return to the fishing spot and re-bait.

It took about half an hour to catch another broad-backed grass carp. This time it was heavier than the last one. Lou Yuzhu thought it was six catties. "Brother, we caught this today and sold it in the town for a good price while the fish is still fresh."

Lou Hua still wanted to fish, but he thought that if the fish died, it would be hard to sell, so he nodded.Quickly put away the fishing rod and hide it, take the corners and corners that were not used by the brown leaf grasshopper before, twist them into a strand and pass it through the fish mouth to become a fishing tool. "Let's go around the village by the side road to the town,"

Lou Yuzhu had exactly this intention. "It's not too early. People who go to the market in the village have already returned, and you shouldn't meet them on the road." Carrying these two big fish, it will be troublesome to meet any acquaintances. It would be enough for the three brothers to have a headache if they spread more words to Lou's family.

If you want to go around the village, you have to take the mountain path, not to mention that it will take a little more time, but in order to avoid trouble, the three brothers have to take turns carrying the two fish through the mountain path.The trail was difficult but safe, and it took the three brothers half the time to reach the town.

As soon as they arrived in the town and saw no acquaintances, the three brothers picked up the leaves wrapped with fish, and Lou Yuzhu used a bamboo tube to pour water for the last time before bringing them to the market for sale.After going back and forth and spending time making tools and fishing, the market has long been over, leaving only a few people who want to be cheap.

Lou Hua was a little worried about whether the fish could be sold back.

Lou Yuzhu is not worried at all, anyway, if the things that cost nothing are sold, they will not lose money.With a glance in her eyes, Lou Yuzhu leaned in front of an egg seller, Mian Shan. "My aunt, we sell fish for the family, can I borrow your scale to weigh it?" He blinked shamelessly as he spoke, showing off his cuteness.

It's a pity that the original body was seriously undernourished, not to mention thin and thin, with a dark yellow complexion, even if the foundation was good and tidy up, it was really not cute.

Ah Mo, who sells eggs, is really kind-hearted. Seeing the pitiful appearance of the three brothers, and then looking at Lou Yuzhu, who has been blinking and maybe has something wrong with her eyes, she agreed with a soft heart.The ready-made palm leaves, take a hook on the scale, move the weight, and quickly weigh it. "Four catties and two taels, five catties and six measures, yo, it's not light."

"Thank you, Ah Mo!" The three brothers gathered together and showed smiling faces. The originally kind-hearted Ah Mo cheerfully expressed his thanks, and also generously gave advice.

"At this time, the market is scattered. If you want to sell fish, you can't stand like you and wait for someone to come to your door. Do you know if you want to sell fish?"

Lou Yuzhu knew that he wanted to sell, but he was a little bit embarrassed, Lou Hua knew everything at once.He yelled at the top of his voice: "Sell grass carp, sell grass carp ~ grass carp is cheap to sell ~" On the way here, the three brothers have already negotiated, and the price is two yuan cheaper than the market.The price of fish is cheaper than meat, and ordinary grass carp is cheaper. It sells for six cents a catty in the market, but my brother and sister are looking at it for four cents a catty.

Hearing that it was sold so cheaply, someone was tempted, and asked about it, and found out that it cost four cents a catty.

Yelling is a bit embarrassing, but the lobbyist is very smooth. "Uncle, look at our fish is still alive, buy it back and kill it just to add something to lunch,"

The middle-aged man felt that the price was not expensive, but he felt that it was a bit big. His family of five couldn't finish one meal. "...Can it be sold separately?"

Lou Yuzhu apologized: "We came in a hurry and didn't bring any tools. Uncle, look at our small one, which weighs four catties and two taels. Four Wen a catty is seventeen Wen. How about fifteen Wen?" Seeing someone a little moved, he hurriedly said: "Grass carp of four catties and two taels is not big, and the leftovers from lunch can be preserved for a long time with some salt."

The middle-aged man thought about it for a moment, and it was only the beginning of March, and it was still cold, so it shouldn't be a problem to put salt on it and store it for a day or two. "Sure, I want this smaller one."

Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, Lou Hua felt like dreaming while holding fifteen copper coins.

With a good start, the latter big one was also sold for [-] yuan soon.Lou Hua and Lou Ming's happy mouth was almost grinning behind his ears.

Lou Yuzhu looked at the two of them amusedly, and smiled at Ah Mo, the egg seller: "Ah, there are still six eggs that are not sold out, why don't you think it's cheaper and the three of us will sell them?"

The egg seller looks a bit older than Liu Ahma, and he has a good temper. Knowing that the third brother wants to thank him for borrowing the scale, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's easy to sell six eggs. It is you who sell the fish for the family, go back as soon as you collect the money, and don’t waste time at the fair.”

Lou Yuzhu has always been respected by people who respect him for one point and will be rewarded with two points in return. He smiled and said: "Don't hide it, the three of us caught this fish by ourselves. It has nothing to do with the family, and the money for the sale will naturally belong to the three of us. Ah Well, it’s not too early now, the eggs are already sold out, so you can go back early, right? The family’s son and grandson may be waiting for your meal!”

Speaking of the size of the family, Ah Mo, who sells eggs, has deeper smile lines on her face. "Hey, how do you know that Ah has sons and grandchildren?"

"Ah Ma looks like a lucky person. I'm sure the family is full of children and grandchildren!"

"You little devil still know how to use idioms?" Reading and literacy is a delicate job in this world.

Lou Yuzhu thumped in her heart, and quickly tried to remedy it: "Isn't that what the storybook says?"

"Yes, that's what I said," Ahma thought that Lou Yuzhu was shy and afraid that she might make a mistake, so she happily responded.

Lou Hua touched his younger brother with a look of relief. He has taught these idioms before. Before Lou Yuzhu didn't care, he only liked to run wildly all over the mountains. He thought that his younger brother didn't like to learn, and he didn't want to remember everything without saying it, so he could apply what he learned. Smarter than Lou Ming who has been studying hard. "My lord, you can sell us these six eggs at a lower price,"

The three brothers watched helplessly, and Liu Ah's heart softened. "Don't call me big or not, if you guys like it, just call me Liu Ah."

Lou Yuzhu was as good as he was, and smiled sweetly: "Ah Liu?"

Lou Hua and Lou Ming called out, "Ah Liu?"

"Ah Liu,"

"Hey, hey, the three brothers are really good," Liu Ah's heart immediately softened when he saw these little ones and thought of the grandchildren at home. "Here are six more eggs, and they are sold for a penny a catty and thirteen pennies a pound. Now there are only a few small ones left. How about two for a penny if you think it's cheaper?"

One penny and two or six eggs are only three pennies, half cheaper than usual.

Lou Hua's heart fluttered immediately, and Lou Ming's eyes watered even more.

"Ah Liu is cheaper for us, we can't let Ah Mo lose too much," Lou Yuzhu counted four copper coins: "Six eggs are four Wen."

"Those who sell things can lower the price, how can you offer more?" Liu Ama waved her hands and refused to accept the extra text.

Lou Yuzhu laughed and said: "Buyers can increase the price, so how can you lower the price like this?" As he said, he put the money into Liu Amo's hand, but when he saw someone push it back, he hurriedly said: "Liu Amo Don't worry, the three of us may come to sell fish again, and we may have to ask you to borrow the scale at that time, if Liu Amo refuses to accept the money now, we will be embarrassed to come here to trouble you again."
