Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 72
When Mrs. Qiu came out of the West Stove, Lu Yange was squatting at the door of the backyard, watching a few children surround a peddler to buy maltose.

Not every child has copper coins to buy maltose, and the peddler doesn’t care about anything. As long as it is grain, chicken or other food that the child can take out, he can basically exchange it for a large or small piece of maltose.

Qiu Shi came out and looked at Lu Xiaosi who was squatting on the ground watching people eating maltose, and couldn't help but soften his heart: "Xiaosi, mother will buy you a piece of maltose sweet mouth."

"Mom, I don't want to eat, let's go back."

She is not a child, what sweet mouth does she want.

In fact, Lu Yange doesn't like candy. The uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters who came to the orphanage when they were young all liked to bring candy.

A pack of candies can be divided into many children.

In their eyes, the children in these orphanages are all orphans, which is very pitiful.

People who are suffering can only eat some sugar to feel the sweetness of life.

Lu Xingge said he wouldn't eat it, but Qiu still bought a palm-sized piece for three pennies, and asked the shopkeeper to cut it into small pieces with a knife and wrap it in oiled paper: "If you don't like it, go back and share it with your eldest sister and second sister. "

There is no child who doesn't like candy, Xiao Si said that she doesn't eat it, but she is sensible.

"Thank you ma'am."

Lu Xiaosi took the candy, and followed Qiu Shi back to the house.

With mother's favor, in fact, she would not refuse to eat candy.

In the past few days, the Qiu family will come to Fushun to teach Taoshan and Yangzhou's Master Li how to cook, and Lu Yange will become Qiu's little follower.

"Mom, did my father say he wanted to buy land and build a house?"

"Land is not so easy to buy." Qiu sighed, "Our family doesn't have much money, those big families are selling it as a Zhuangzi, and the small ones can only sell one mu of land. Most of the two acres of land were bought by wealthy households in the village, and it’s not our turn.”

"Oh."

Lu Yange lowered his head, looked at the cobblestone road under his feet, and thought to himself, it would be good not to sell it, but if the rebel army came, it would be too late for everyone to escape. At that time, it would not be known who bought the land or built a new house cheaper.

However, she was not going to tell Qiu and Lu Quan what shopkeeper Li said.

These two couples are both honest and responsible country people.

After receiving hundreds of taels of silver, I couldn't sleep day and night, and I had to get up several times a night to check.If they knew that the Hongying army was revolting in Huaicheng, and they would fight over after the autumn harvest, it is estimated that the couple would not even dare to sleep at night.

It's not that Lu Yange never thought of escaping.

But she had inquired in private, the household registration is here, and there is no way to guide them, so they can't go anywhere.

We can only take one step at a time and wait for the insurgents to fight over.

Qiu Shi walked in front, wondering if Xiao Wu in the family was crying or not, so he took a big step.

Lu Yange followed behind, thinking about it, walking slower and slower.

Unknowingly, the distance between the two women grew wider and wider, and no one noticed.

Passing by the Xie family pharmacy, Dr. Xie was sitting at the consultation table inside the door and waved to Lu Yange: "Lu Xiaosi, come here."

Since the last time, when Lu Quan went to Nanyang and came back to pick up someone, Dr. Xie said that it might be the Hongying Army and sent him to the Earth Temple.Later, the head of the pavilion took two more servants to search for people at the wild wharf. Lu Yange was a little panicked towards Dr. Xie.

She couldn't explain why, but she always felt that Dr. Xie might not be as simple as he appeared on the surface.

Lu Yange glanced at Qiu Shi who was walking away, and stepped up the steps of the pharmacy helplessly: "Doctor Xie, what do you need from me?"

Dr. Xie saw Lu Xiaosi approaching, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Si, did you see the person your father saved last time?"

At the moment, there was no one in the store. The old Dr. Xie led his grandson to dry herbs in the backyard, and Mrs. Xie led her two daughters to do needlework in the house.

Only Doctor Xie guarded the entire pharmacy.

Lu Xiaosi had just stepped over the threshold with one foot and hadn't brought the other in. He was stunned when he heard this: "Mr. Xie, didn't you take him away? My father and I never saw each other again!"

"Didn't you see me?"

Doctor Xie looked puzzled, "That day I really asked your father to send someone to the Earth Temple. Later, the town's investigation was strict, so I didn't have time to go, and I didn't see anyone later! I thought it was Your father and son have brought them back."

"No, after sending it to the Earth Temple and returning, the pavilion chief took people to the wild wharf for inspection. My father was so frightened to death, how dare he go back to find someone." Lu Yange said, but his heart trembled suddenly.

When the pavilion chief led people to search the wild pier that day, she suspected that Dr. Xie had let it out, otherwise it would have happened that she and her father went back and the pavilion chief took the two poor men to the wild pier.

Later, Lu Quan also took the money and sent it to Xie's pharmacy.

At that time, it was the old Dr. Xie who was in the shop and said that there was no one in the shop. He also said that Dr. Xie had gone to the countryside for a visit and would not be in the shop for two days.

Lu Quan came again two days later, but old Dr. Xie still said that Dr. Xie hadn't come back from his visit.

That's all there is to it.

Dr. Xie said that he did not receive anyone, and old Dr. Xie said that there were no drowning-injured patients in the shop.

Are the father and son telling the truth or lies?

Now, Dr. Xie asked her if she had seen that person, was he trying to trick her?
Lu Yange's brain was spinning quickly, but his face didn't show at all, and he asked innocently: "Mr. Xie, is that person dead? Did you look around?"

"Looked for it, but I really didn't see anyone."

Dr. Xie waved his hands, his expression slightly aggrieved, "I thought this man was brought back by your father, since he didn't go back, he must have been rescued."

"It's best to save them, as long as they don't die."

Lu Xiaosi was still standing outside the door with half of his body, as if ready to leave at any time, "My father is still thinking about it, saying that he came to ask Dr. Xie for questions in the past two days. Before he came, it was old Dr. Xie who said You went to the country for a doctor's visit."

"Well, I went to the countryside for the past few days, and I just came back yesterday. When I came back, I heard from my father that your father came twice, and I didn't know that this person just disappeared. This person is also, after all these days, he also I haven't seen any news. Is such a big life-saving grace just forgot?"

"What a life-saving grace."

Lu Xiaosi finally walked in the door, "My father said, let alone seeing people, even if a piglet falls in the water, they have to catch a piglet in the water and take it home. Otherwise, this heart is broken, but I can’t eat the food of fishing.”

"Yes, your parents are kind people."

Dr. Xie changed the subject and asked, "I see that you have followed your mother to the pier for the past two days. Are you going to sell fish at the pier? I heard that your father is not fishing in Honghu Lake now, but goes to the river every night to cast nets. Is it true?" There are more fish in the river than in Honghu Lake?"

From Ye Wharf to Lai Fushun, it is not convenient to take the waterway, because Jiangjiaba is a straight street, and passing through the town will inevitably pass through all kinds of shops, including Xiejia Drugstore.

In the past few days, Lu Yange has been accompanying Qiu Shi to come and go to Fushun.The mother and son were thinking about growing fish and vegetables, but they didn't pay much attention to Xie's pharmacy.

On the contrary, it was Dr. Xie, who sat at the door every day to see the doctor and get medicine, and he could basically notice the people walking around in the town.
