Luo Xin was not worried that his family would be bullied by his neighbors after becoming an official, no one would dare.It is precisely my relatives who are worried.Now that he saw his father like this, he felt relieved.

"Father, brother!" Luo Xin shouted from the ridge of the field.

When the father and elder brother heard Luo Xin's voice, happy smiles appeared on their faces.

"Xin'er, don't come down! You are wearing a robe, don't get dirty."

"Oh!"

Luo Xin responded, and looked down at his new robe, which was indeed not suitable for going to the field, so he stood obediently on the ridge of the field.When the neighbors in the surrounding village saw Luo Xin, they silenced their voices one by one, and then gradually dispersed.

"Xin'er, go home and study!" Dad shouted again.

Luo Xin thought for a while, and he really couldn't help here, and his father and elder brother did a good job, so he nodded and said:
"Father, big brother, I'm going back, let mother prepare delicious food."

"Okay, hahaha..."

Luo Ping and Luo Qing laughed happily, and Luo Xin turned and walked home with the bookcase on his back.Behind him, cousin Luo Sheng pouted and muttered in a low voice:

"Delicious? What delicious food can there be?"

Luo Xin pushed open the gate of the yard, and heard a sound of "clack, quack, quack" and saw his mother busy in the yard. The yard was divided into three parts with twenty fences on the east side. Chickens, twenty ducks and twenty geese.

"Mom!" Luo Xin called out, ran to the fence and stretched his head to look inside.

"Xin'er, school is over?"

"Ok!"

"Our family also raises chickens, ducks and geese!" The old lady's face was full of happiness.

Luo Xin also nodded happily, the atmosphere in the house is becoming more and more like a farmhouse, and the whole yard is much more lively.

"Mom, I'm going to cook something delicious today. I want to eat meat." Luo Xin acted cute for his stomach.

"Okay, mother will go buy meat for you now!"

Luo Shi said happily that her family situation has become better now, and it's not so good, which makes her feel very comfortable. The only fly in the ointment is that she can't go out to show off.

Father and elder brother worked hard in the field for three days, and finally finished the field.Luo Xin and his elder brother lay side by side on the heated kang, and he asked his elder brother to wait for him to come back tomorrow afternoon before going to catch fish together, and then he fell asleep with a smile on his face.

the next day.

As soon as he came out of Lin Xiucai's house, Luo Xin ran all the way towards the house, knocked open the courtyard door with a "bang", stretched his neck and shouted:

"Brother, I'm back!"

The eldest brother came out of the house: "Little brother, let's go."

"it is good!"

Luo Xin put down the bookcase, and the two brothers ran towards the big river outside the village each carrying a wooden bucket.When he came to the river, he ran upstream.It wasn't the first time the two of them came here to catch fish, they were familiar with the road, and Luo Xin ran behind the eldest brother, very happy in his heart.In fact, he was also a little strange in his heart. After he came to Daming, it seemed that because of this body, his soul became young and energetic.

Not only did he not reject this feeling, but he enjoyed it very much.Being able to relive a wonderful childhood, why not enjoy it?
The two found a small river dam upstream, and then began to use wooden barrels to fill in the silt. It takes at least five shovels of silt to block such a dam. In fact, the dam is not small.

The two men blocked the upstream water outlet with silt and cut off the water source of the dam. Afterwards, the two brothers jumped into the river with a wooden barrel and began to splash water out of the wooden barrel.

The water in the dam gradually became scarce, and carp fry were shuttled back and forth in fear. Brothers Luo Xin and Luo Qing smiled at each other, and began to skillfully catch fish in the barrel.

After catching all the carp fry in the dam, Luo Xin excitedly picked up the wooden bucket and said, "Brother, we will catch them again tomorrow."

"it is good!"

The two of them carried the wooden bucket back home. If it was placed on another eight-year-old child, it would not be able to carry it at all.But Luo Xin, who practiced martial arts since he was a child, carried it quite easily.

The two went straight to the field, and saw their father sitting on the ridge smoking a pipe from a distance.

"Father!" the two brothers shouted.

Luo Xin stood up from the ridge of the field, ran towards the two brothers, took a wooden bucket with one hand, and strode towards the field while taking a look at the fish fry in the bucket, and said with joy on his face:

"No less catches!"

"Well, nearly a thousand!" Luo Xin said happily.

The father and son strode to the field. Luo Ping dumped the two wooden barrels into the field, and hundreds of fish fry swarmed and swam in the furrow, and disappeared into the underground mud.

"There is a door!" Luo Ping said with joy on his face: "Xin'er, how many do you think we have?"

Luo Xin thought for a while and said: "Three thousand, I'm afraid they will all die if you raise too many."

"Three thousand pieces!" Luo Ping's eyes lit up, and he said while counting: "Even if it is three pieces of money, it is still nine thousand pieces of money, that is, nine pieces of money!"

Nine guanqian is not a small amount at this time in Ming Dynasty, half guanqian is enough for Luo Xin to pay for one year of Shuxiu, and nine guanqian is enough for Luo Xin to pay 18 years of Shuxiu.

"Father, let's buy a cow!" Luo Dao said, "In the future, when this carp grows up, it won't be able to be sold in the village. It has to be transported to the county town. And most of the carp will be sold to restaurants in the county town. We need a cow." car."

"Yeah!" Luo Ping nodded and said, "It's not a loss to buy a cow and still be able to cultivate the land."

Grandpa, uncle and cousin stood on the sidelines in their own fields, their eyes full of the look of a prodigal son.The surrounding village neighbors are also pointing.But Luo Xin, his father and his son pretended not to see it.They also don't worry that the fish will be stolen by the neighbors in the future when they grow up. In this era, farmers are still very pure and moral. No one would do such sneaky things, especially people in a village.

Luo Qing and Luo Xin caught more than 3000 fry for three days in a row before giving up.Then Luo Xin ignored it and began to concentrate on studying.

The family bought a cow, and farm work became easier.Luo Ping and Luo Qing devoted more time to practicing martial arts, and Luo Xin also completely got rid of farm work, because his family didn't need him at all.He began to concentrate more on his studies, and his body gradually became more bookish, less aggressive and more elegant.

During the vacation in mid-April, Luo Xin went to the city again, exchanged a volume of books, paid two ingots of silver to Steward Lu, went to a shop in the city to buy a set of tea sets, and bought some Longjing tea.It's just that this tea is not new, and Luo Xin lamented that the place where he lives is still too small.I bought another set of Go, two writing brushes, and other odds and ends, and then returned to Shanglin Village with my elder brother.
