The story of the little man "marrying" his wife

Summer nights are short, and it was late last night when I came back with Orion. Lu Bai hurriedly washed up and went to sleep. He felt that he hadn't slept for long. When he heard the rooster crowing, it was almost dawn again.

Thinking about earning money and marrying a wife, Lu Xiaobai turned over on the bed, buried his face in the pillow, squinted for a while, and then got up.

I don't know if he drank alcohol yesterday, but he felt a little headache when he sat up.

After washing his face with cold water, he became sober. He drank less, only two or three cups, and he would be fine after a short rest.

In the vegetable field on the right side of the front yard, we pulled a lot of juicy greens and sprinkled so many seeds that he couldn’t finish them, so he could sell them in the town, and he also left some old vegetables to keep growing, blooming and bearing seeds , After the seeds are ripe, they will fall to the ground by themselves, and another batch can be grown only by watering, which can be said to be very convenient.

Not only green vegetables, he also planted garlic sprouts and leeks. Recently, leeks are old and not very tasty, and they can’t be sold at a good price, so they didn’t cut them. Instead, they stooped down to extract a lot of garlic sprouts from the garlic sprouts. It is more expensive than garlic sprouts, and the fresh ones are also tender. It can be chopped and eaten raw, without frying.

The red persimmons are also ripe. This kind of thing came from the Western Regions. It can be fried as a vegetable or eaten as a fruit.

I picked a basket of persimmons with red fruits, which could not be put in the basket for fear of being crushed.

After picking the vegetables, Lu Bai saw the wooden barrel in the kitchen. After thinking about it, he ate something in a hurry and ran into the river with the barrel.

It was dawn, and people in the village had already woken up.

He met a lot of people on the way, said hello and walked out of the village. Anyway, he was going to the morning market to sell vegetables, so he might as well get a small bucket of fish. He could also sell fish while selling vegetables, as much as he could sell.

The fish in the river are very good at being caught because they are often caught, and they will scurry past with a flick of their tails. The same goes for the small shrimps and crabs, which will run very fast at the slightest movement, and disappear into the crevices of rocks or mud.

However, Lu Bai has been catching fish for so long, and he also has some experience. He didn't want small fish and shrimp, but caught a few big fish. When it was dawn, he couldn't get a good seat later, so he went back with a wooden bucket .

Sunrise and sunset, most people in this world are working hard for their livelihood.

Lu Xiaobai put the chickens in the pen in the evening, and after cleaning the backyard, because of the hot weather, he closed the door of the yard and took a shower in the small room specially separated from the kitchen.

He was wearing a short jacket that exposed his arms and legs. After the sun went down, some wind finally came. Sitting on the recliner in the main room, the little man rubbed his shoulders.

I go to the town to sell fish every day or two. The two buckets of water are really heavy, and I have to walk for a quarter of an hour, so my shoulders are always uncomfortable. This year is better, and the skin has not been worn out yet. Sweating is really uncomfortable.

The big gray and big yellow went out to have fun, and no accidents, they went swimming in the river. The two dogs were locked up at home for most of the day, so they should be let out for a walk.

Lu Bai rested for a while, then went to his room.

Squatting down, he lifted up the sheet hanging from the side of the bed, reached out his hand, and touched a loose brick. He clasped it with his fingers, and moved the big square brick away from the exposed brick. A heavy cloth bag was dragged out of the pit.

This is his money bag, which contains the accumulated belongings.

After the money was stolen by Li Erzhu last time, that local ruffian didn't even have a penny, and he had nothing to pay him back, which made Lu Bai impoverished for a long time.

After suffering a loss, he became wise. He not only raised a dog, but also dug a hole under the bed and put the money bag in it.

Regardless of whether it can really prevent thieves, doing so will make him feel more at ease.

The courtyard door was not open, and the door was closed when I came in just now. The money bag was dragged out because it was too heavy, and it was a little dirty, so Lu Bai took out another clean cloth and spread it on the bed, and poured all the money on it.

They are all small businesses, selling things for a few pennies or a dozen pennies, so there are few loose silver, and most of them are copper plates.

It is also because of this that it looks a bit much, and he also used a rope to string up five hundred coins, half a penny, that is, five coins.

If there are too many, you can go to the bank in the town to exchange the copper plates for scattered silver taels, but only five taels of silver can be exchanged.

He took all the money he had recently sold, counted them one by one, and strung them together while counting.

The sum of the scattered silver was eight qian, most of which was the excellent-looking windbreath last time, and one plant was sold for five qian, and the remaining three qian, two of which were exchanged with villagers for copper coins.

There is also a penny that was once when selling fish, the cook woman who often bought other fish had no copper coin change, so she exchanged it with him for a hundred pennies. , If you have enough money, you can change it.

The pile of copper plates rattled and rattled, and there was still a shortfall of 320 seven Wen, and these copper plates were enough for five taels of silver.

Lu Bai looked at the money he earned with joy, it's nice to have money.

Now all the tiredness and exhaustion are gone. After tidying up the money, Lu Bai put them all into the money bag. So many copper coins are heavy, but Lu Bai doesn't think so, and even wants to be heavier. No matter how heavy he is, he can lift it.

The smiling little man was in such a good mood, before he put away his purse, he heard the familiar barking of a dog outside, and the sound of Dahui scratching the door with his paws.

After carefully placing the square bricks and patting them with his hands, Lu Bai went out and opened the door for them.

Both dogs were wet, and Dahui stopped to shake the water after walking a few steps.

He didn't really want to go out tonight. Lu Xiaobai, who still had a smile on his face, simply closed the courtyard door. The heat was unbearable. He went to the kitchen and drank a bowl of sugar water. Today he can go to bed early and have a good rest.

In the kitchen, Lu Bai was cooking. A little chili pepper in it choked him so he turned away from the pot and coughed. When he saw Shen Changlan coming in, he pointed to the white flour steamed buns on the desk.

"After it's hot, you can also serve vegetable porridge."

"Okay." Shen Changlan nodded, and went out with steamed buns and a rice bowl.

Orion is not that strong, but he is tall. Standing in the kitchen, to be honest, Lu Bai felt that the kitchen of his house had become smaller, although he still felt that the space was quite big when he stood in it.

When Lu Bai came out with the dishes, the two sat down at the dining table in the main room, and the first meal this morning began.

The two of them have been together for several days. Because Lu Bai ate a good meal that he had never seen before in the flower building, he kept thinking in his heart that Orion seemed to be able to see him often since he came back that day.

Lu Bai sent him food a few times, and one time he caught up with Shen Changlan to cook. To be honest, although the meal was edible, Orion's cooking skills were just like that.

He thought that anyway, he was going to cook alone, and if there were multiple hunters, it would be fine, the extra pair of chopsticks, so he mentioned it to Shen Changlan, saying that he could come to his house for dinner.

Shen Changlan has been away for many years, but he always eats dry food on the road. Even if he cooks a fire, he can eat something warm. Who cares if the cooking is good? The cooking skills are really not good.

Glancing at his scorched porridge, the color made him nod without hesitation for a long time, and the two of them got together in such a muddle-headed way.

When he came to Lu Bai's place on the first day, the tall and big Orion came over with a bag of noodles and half a processed boar in his hand. According to him, this was the ration for the gang.

So Lu Bai also steamed a pot of white flour steamed buns because of this bag of noodles. He usually eats rough noodles.

Originally, he wanted to repay the favor, and he made most of the food himself. In Lu Xiaobai's opinion, it would not cost a lot of money to make an extra bowl of rice. Unexpectedly, Shen Changlan brought these things, which made him even more I feel embarrassed.

The vegetable porridge was boiled just right, the rice was fragrant, and there were chopped green vegetables in it. A pork was fried with chili, and a plate of eggplant was steamed, mixed with garlic and mature vinegar, which was very refreshing in summer.

The two ate together for several days, and Lu Bai probably figured out Shen Changlan's appetite. Whether it was vegetables or steamed buns, he made a lot of them, and made an extra bowl of porridge.

But before Lu Bai took a bowl of porridge, he heard the door of the courtyard rang, he turned his head and looked out from the main room, ah, it's Brother Qing.

He was happy to see Lin Qing happy, but Lu Bai was very puzzled, because Lin Qing was carrying a food box in his hand, and he didn't know what he was here for.

It wasn't just him, Li Xiaotao followed closely behind, also carrying a food box.
