Chapter 364 Things to be clarified
When the group returned to Lulu Mukelen, Chen Xiuyu had already set up two tables of food.
The men want to drink and arrange it on the big kang, while the women sit around the floor table.
The topic of discussion was naturally Chen Xiuyu's beating up today.
They all talked about what they had heard in the village, and the nonsense things that Zhu Chunmei did.
But after all, when they are busy harvesting, there are still things to do in each field, even if a few elders say they are drinking, they are all controlling their alcohol consumption.
After eating and drinking enough, each of them was busy going back to their own fields to work.
Zhao Yongke and Wu Nakan continued to go to the field with Lu Lu. The rice had been harvested and there was no threshing machine. Threshing by way of beating.
This work is simple, but it is real hard work.
After Lu Lu taught Zhao Yongke, the two of them were responsible for threshing, while Chen Xiuyu and Wu Nakan were busy moving the rice cut from the field back.
The two big men fought all afternoon, sweated a lot, made their backs ache, and worked hard all afternoon, but they only beat half of it.
The rice was collected and packed into bags, and Lu Lu asked Chen Xiuyu to ask Chen Xiuqing to come to the carriage and help take it home.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, I wanted to see what happened to Ma Jinlan, so I had to postpone it.
The next day, the couple worked hard again. They had finished threshing all the rice, tied up the straw, and put it in the field to dry.
The quality of the seeds is low, and there are no improved varieties. Looking at the heavy rice ears all over the field, in fact, the harvested rice is not much. Lu Lu preliminarily estimated that the three acres of land can only have a thousand catties look.
This kind of output cannot be compared with decades later, but Lu Lu is still very satisfied, these authentic rice is delicious.
The rice was transported back home, Lu Lu rode on Zhuifeng, and Chen Xiuyu rode in Chen Xiuqing's carriage, and they went to Qingzi's house together.
This was the first time Lu Lu had stepped into Chen Xiuqing's yard in a few months since he was kicked out by Ma Jinlan.
There are a lot of things in the house, and Lu Lu just brought a few cans over by the way.
For Chen Xiuqing, it was already a very happy thing for Lu Lu to enter this courtyard.
As soon as the carriage was unloaded, they were busy killing chickens with their knives.
Knowing that Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu were coming, Ma Jinlan was also busy in the kitchen.
The couple entered the house, and they went to see Ma Jinlan without being polite.
The three of them got together and stared at each other, but in the end Chen Xiuyu couldn't hold back, and threw herself into Ma Jinlan's arms with red eyes.
At this time, the couple's "mom" is enough to settle their suspicions.
Ma Jinlan's face was only slightly swollen, and there were no other major problems. Chen Xiuyu and Ma Jinlan were left to chat, while Lu Lu and Chen Xiuqing took over the cooking in turn.
When it was getting dark, the food was finally cooked and served on the kang table, the four of them sat around together, Chen Xiuqing was busy pouring the Beida Cang bought from the small shop for Lu Lu, and the two brothers drank slowly.
Ma Jinlan looked at Lu Lu apologetically: "Master, what happened before is my fault, I did a lot of stupid things..."
Lu Lu quickly reached out to stop him: "Mom, I'm not an ignorant person. You have your own considerations. No matter what, it's for your sons and daughters. I understand. Let's expose those things in the past, and we will discuss them in the future." Don't mention it. The family is in harmony, just live a good life. Please rest assured, I will definitely take Xiuyu with me.
My meadow is not far from the village. If I have time, I often come to sit and sit. Don’t go to the mountains to watch secretly like before! "
As soon as Lu Lu said this, both Chen Xiuyu and Chen Xiuqing couldn't help laughing.
Ma Jinlan blushed, looking a little embarrassed: "How do you know?"
"We have all seen it. Besides, there is Yuanbao at home. As long as people come around at home, Yuanbao will make a sound. The opposite mountain is not far away, and you can see it casually."
After a pause, Lu Lu went on to say: "What's the matter, discuss with us more in the future, and stop listening to the nonsense of those people outside, we are relatives, and my family can't trust my family, so I can't live in that day .”
Ma Jinlan nodded heavily after listening.
"Okay, it's hard to get together, and we're all happier. When I first entered this door, I was never polite to you, eating and eating..."
While smiling, Lu Lu held up the wine bowl to Chen Xiuqing.
That night, the four of them chatted around the kang table for a long time until late at night.
Before leaving, Ma Jinlan went back to the house, took out a silver bracelet wrapped in red cloth, and put it on for Chen Xiuyu herself: "This was given to me by your grandma when Mom married your father, and I will hand it over to you today." in hand."
It is not easy for a silver bracelet to survive so many years of wind and rain.
When the two were leaving, Ma Jinlan and Chen Xiuqing insisted on lighting the lanterns and sent them all the way to Tunkou. It wasn't until Lu Lu rode Chasing Wind and took Chen Xiuyu away that she and Chen Xiuqing returned together.
For the four of them, all the unhappiness they had caused since Lu Lu came to this mountain disappeared after today.
Back home, when the couple were lying on the kang chatting, Lu Lu suddenly felt that, to some extent, he had to thank Zhu Chunmei. If there was no such thing, he would have to wait until he could return to normal.
The past two days of harvesting rice were exhausting, and the two of them fell asleep early, so they didn't communicate in depth.
Early the next morning, Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu went to help Chen Xiuqing cut the rice for a day.
Zhou Cuifen, Pu Guiying, Zhao Meiling and others came to help.
Several families in the two villages, as if they had made an appointment, took turns to help harvest.
Fortunately, the weather has been fine and things have been completed smoothly.
Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The next step is to wait for the harvest of corn.
The women couldn't stay idle, and continued to go to the mountains to pick hazelnuts, hickory nuts, and pine cones, and some things were busy.
Hazelnuts and pine nuts, Lu Lu used some of them to eat, and the rest were prepared to mix with grains when feeding the flying dragons. As for hickory nuts, the nuts inside are very fragrant, but they are so hard that they can be hammered down It is a difficult problem to eat a shell that can fly far away. It is not suitable to buy it these days. It can only be said to get some to taste.
After Chen Xiuyu and others entered the mountain, Lu Lu was drying the rice in the yard. He took the copper gall and iron gall, and some small animal furs he had accumulated on weekdays, and headed to the district.
After weighing the two bear bile at the buying station, the buying price for Lu Lu was slightly higher than he expected, and the furs of those small animals were also sold for more than 200 yuan.
The copper guts obtained from hunting the fat blind bear sold for more than 100 yuan, which had to be shared equally with Liang Kangbo.
The iron gall that Chen Xiuyu got after killing the blind Xiongzi who tied the cannon eggs sold for more than 800 yuan, and what should be given to Zhou Cuifen and the others has already been divided.
Bringing the money back should reassure Chen Xiuyu, who was struggling to make ends meet during this period of time.
Those who noticed the money, apart from a group of people selling mountain goods at the purchase station, also Wu Biao who had been waiting by the side early.
When Lu Lu took the money and walked towards him, Wu Biao immediately went up to him.
"If only I knew how to hunt, you can earn more money than me selling guns!" Wu Biao envied.
"How can you say that you are also in the arms business, much better than my muddy legs, I really don't know what you think!"
Lu Lu smiled slightly: "Have you received the cowhide?"
"I received it. I received it on the third day, and I'm waiting for you to come and get it. Let me wait for so many days, and I began to wonder if you didn't plan to ask for it. Why did it take so long to come?" Wu Biao was a little dissatisfied: "You have to treat me to lunch."
"During this time, I was busy harvesting crops, so I couldn't come. It's easy for me to treat you to dinner, but you have to answer a question for me." Lu Lu said with a serious face.
"What's the problem?" Wu Biao frowned slightly.
"It's the guy who asked you to buy a semi-automatic last time. Did he come to you to buy a gun again?"
Lu Lu did not forget Li Qingxiang.
"That's it? That afternoon, he came again and took away a semi-automatic from me for 400 yuan, without bullets!"
Wu Biao said it casually.
Gun trading is very common these days. It is common to see people walking around with guns, and there is no such thing as confidentiality.
Lu Lu frowned indistinctly.
Li Jianmin didn't even allow double-barreled shotguns, but now he bought a semi-automatic.
As for the bullets, the forest farm has its own security department. As the son of Li Qingxiang's forest farm director, it is very easy to get them.
Ever since he saw Li Qingxiang come to buy a gun that day, Lu Lu's heart has always been uneasy. These days, he didn't say anything, but he was always on guard in his heart.
It seems that when going to Bird's Nest Island, this matter must be clarified first.
"Why do you ask this?" Wu Biao became curious instead.
"I'm just curious about how black you are... You sold it for 400 yuan, so black!" Lu Lu curled his lips.
Wu Biao was taken aback by Lu Lu's words: "In some places, it's sold for [-] yuan. I'm already very honest, that is, selling guns to you is all thankless things."
"Okay, don't you want me to treat you to dinner? Let's go!" Lu Lu urged.
"But it's still early!" Wu Biao looked up at the sky, it was only around nine o'clock in the morning, and then he looked at the people selling mountain goods, he hesitated.
"Aren't you going? You didn't go by yourself!" Lu Lu laughed: "I have a lot of things to do at home, so I can't wait here forever."
"Go... why don't you go! It's rare to get some oil from you!"
Wu Biao glanced at the people selling mountain goods. He stayed here for a long time, and found that most of them were familiar faces. Knowing their gun use, it is estimated that no one would buy them. He decisively agreed: "You wait, I will Go and get you two cowhide first."
After he finished speaking, he walked quickly into the alleyway.
Lu Lu waited for more than ten minutes, and seeing Wu Biao reappeared in the alleyway, he walked in quickly, opened the two bags he brought, opened the cowhide inside and looked at it, it was indeed a very good yellow cowhide.
"I'll take care of things, don't worry!" Wu Biao smacked his lips, dissatisfied with Lu Lu's uneasy appearance.
Lu Lu smiled, and after repacking the cowhide, he took out 24 yuan from his pocket and counted it to Wu Biao. Then he brought it back and tied it to Zhuifeng's back, and led Wu Biao to Tian Youcheng's restaurant for dinner.
Thanks to the book friends from the south of Nuanyang and Beiming Yuge for their rewards!
