Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 20
Lu Yange counted the copper coins on the table, "It took forty coins, and there are still 25 coins left."

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoli couldn't help covering his chest.

Some distressed!

Lu Yange counted fifteen copper coins and handed them to Qiu Shi: "These fifteen coins are for mother."

"Mom, no."

Qiu quickly pushed away: "Mother can't ask for your money, you can keep it to buy food for yourself."

The family has no money for Xiao Si to spend, how can she take the money Xiao Si earns by herself.

Let the children keep it for themselves. If they are hungry, they can go to the town to buy a biscuit to eat, or buy a piece of candy.

"mother."

Lu Yange handed the fifteen essays to Qiu Shi again: "Put it up and save it, mother wants to change houses? Take it away, our family will also go to the shore to buy land and build a house in the future."

Buying land and building a house is Qiu's dream!

Over the years, she has been working hard to catch fish and weave nets, so she wants to save more money so that she can have a small house of her own on the shore.

Even if it is a small building with mud walls and thatched roof, as long as it can shelter from the wind and rain, the family does not need to curl up and shiver in this shack in winter.

There is no need to let her weak child become colder in her arms in the cold winter wind.

"This this……"

Looking at the little hand in front of him, Qiu looked at Lu Quan helplessly, and seeing him nodding, he took the fifteen copper coin over.

"Okay, my mother will keep it for you. If you need money, just ask my mother for it."

Last time, the young master who sent Xiao Si here gave back 200 taels of silver, which she also kept.

Xiao Si said that she was still young, and she was afraid of losing it on her body, so she asked her to take care of it for her.

She had discussed with the head of the family that this money must not be moved casually, it must be reserved for Xiaosi, and it can be used as a dowry when she gets married in the future.

Hearing what mother said, Lu Xiaoli curled her lips in dissatisfaction. Since she was a child, she, the elder sister and the younger sister have never seen a penny.

She knew that mother was the most eccentric, liked Xiao Si the most, and kept everything for Xiao Si.

But because he is a boy...

Lu Yange flicked the remaining ten copper coins in front of him, Lu Xiaoli's eyes could not wait to stick to the copper coins.In the sunlight near the hatch, Lu Xiaoqing lowered his head and was mending Xiaoyu's torn jacket today, while Lu Xiaoyu was thinking about the pig intestines in the pot, squatting in front of the stove in the bow without moving, not even entering the hatch.

She doesn't care about money or not.Lu Xiaoyu only cares about whether the pig intestines in the pot are delicious or not.

On the boat next door, Li Canguan was lying on the side of the boat, stretching his neck to look this way.If it wasn't for the boat, each family's boat had its own waterway for entering and exiting, so he might have come here.

Seeing Li Canguan wanting to come over, the little girl took off the landing steps at home.

If you are hungry, I won't give you food.

She remembered that the last time Li Canguan's mother brought him a piece of sesame seed cake, he sat at the door and gnawed it bit by bit in front of her.

He licked off the sesame seeds one by one.

A piece of biscuit, Li Canguan sat at the door and ate for a day.

Now, her family eats meat, so she doesn't show it to Li Canguan.If it wasn't for the wind, Lu Xiaoyu would have wanted to cover the smell so that Li Canguan could not smell it.

Lu Yangge divided the ten coins into three parts: "For the ten copper coins, four are for the eldest sister and four are for the second sister."

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoqing hurriedly raised her head: "Me? No, no."

She has never earned money, let alone spent it, and she doesn't know how to spend the money given to her.

"Of course, you deserve it." Lu Yange pointed to the two remaining copper coins, "These two coins are for Xiaoyu to buy candy, and she also helped, but not as much as the eldest sister and second sister, so they are divided into two coins .”

Lu Xiaoli looked at Lu Yange, and asked hesitantly, "Then, what about you?"

Although Xiao Si didn't pick the reed leaves, didn't wash the reed leaves, and didn't even carry the basket once, but he came up with the idea of ​​selling the reed leaves.

He also went to sell reed leaves together, why didn't Xiaosi give him the money?

Lu Yange grinned, her small face was dark, and her lips were red and her teeth were white: "Of course I have the greatest credit, and I will share twenty cents."

"How many?"

Lu Xiaoli immediately became furious. She looked at the copper coins that had been distributed on the table. There was no twenty coins. Could it be that they had to pay them back?

There are only 25 Wen left in total, and the primary four will have to share [-] Wen, which is too much.

She wanted to say, no matter how great your contribution is, you can't divide it into twenty cents.

It was she and her elder sister who picked and washed the reed leaves. They did the most and worked hardest.

Younger sister does more things than Xiaosi, but she watches, and Xiaosi only moves his mouth and doesn't move his hands the whole time, except when selling reed leaves.

But she can do something as simple as selling reed leaves.

"Yes, it is indeed Xiao Si who has contributed the most."

After glaring at the second girl, Qiu handed all the copper coins in his hand to Lu Yange: "You take this first, and the mother will get you five coins later."

"My twenty essays have already been spent."

Lu Yange pushed Qiu's hand back again, "We have agreed to buy pig feet and pig bones today, and the money doesn't count. I bought the cloth and aniseed ingredients with the copper coins I spent, and they don't count as your share. go in"

The twenty coins she deserved just happened to buy cloth for Xiao Wu, as well as aniseed material.

Lu Xiaoqing raised her head and wanted to say, then I don't want money, and I will give my mother the money I earn.

Her gaze first fell on Lu Xiaoli, who was clutching four cents and was reluctant to let go of it, and swallowed back what she was about to say: "Then, then I will also save money and buy pig's feet."

Give it to my mother.

If the mother eats more pig's feet, she will have milk, so the younger brother will not have to starve.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoli was no longer entangled in why Lu Yange divided twenty essays, or two essays.No matter how much he got, he didn't get a single point in his hands. This made her feel a little embarrassed again.

"Then I'll also save money to buy pig's feet for my mother and make clothes for my younger brother."

She also wants to buy flowers and candies. If there is more money, she wants to make new clothes like her younger brother.

"Hey, no, no... Good boy, you are all good boys."

Qiu Shi put the fifteen Wen coins into the purse and put it away, thinking about sneaking some money to Xiaosi later.

It can't be that several sisters have money, she doesn't.

Regardless of his floating thoughts, Lu Yange looked outside: "Mother, check if the pig's large intestine is healed, I'm hungry."

She doesn't care about money, but she wants the whole family to get used to her way of distribution.

Able people should do more work.

"Okay, it must be all right."

Lu Xiaoyu, who was squatting in front of the stove without moving a step, got up when he heard the sound, and looked at Lu Yange with bright eyes: "It's been a long time, I can smell the fragrance."

As she spoke, she sniffed, her face full of intoxication.

Well, this is the smell of meat, even if it has a bit of a smell, she still thinks it is delicious.

The Lu family has not eaten meat for a long time.

Not only the Lu family, but the Xiaoye Wharf are all poor fishermen.

It was lucky that he did not starve to death in the famine year.

The pig intestines are made according to Lu Yange's requirements, and they are already delicious when marinated.

When Qiu's sliced ​​it, a child stuffed a piece in his mouth, it was fragrant and hot, and it was sticky and chewy in his mouth.

Delicious, so delicious.

Seeing the little fish being scalded so hard to inhale, the little hand rested on his chin for a long time, but he was not willing to spit out the meat in his mouth.

Qiu couldn't hold back her eyes flushed, and lowered her head.

That's great, since Xiaosi came, this day seems to be more and more hopeful.
