Chapter 52: Catching a Fish

Thank you very much for the reward from my classmates!

Luo Xin is not worried that his family will be bullied by the village neighbors after he becomes an official, and no one dares. It is precisely their relatives who are worried. Now that I see my father like this, I feel relieved.

"Daddy, big brother!" Luo Xin shouted at the ridge.

When Dad and Big Brother heard Luo Xin's voice, happy smiles appeared on their faces.

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

"Oh!"

Luo Xin responded, looked down at his new robe, and it was indeed not suitable for going to the field, so he stood on the ridge honestly. When the surrounding villagers saw Luo Xin, they suppressed their voices one by one, and then gradually dispersed.

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

Luo Xin thought about it, he really couldn't help here, and his father and eldest brother did a good job, so he nodded and said:

"Dad, big brother, I'll go back and let my mother make something delicious."

"Okay, hahaha......"

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

"Delicious? What can there be to eat? ”

Luo Xin pushed open the courtyard door, and heard a "gurgling, quacking" sound, and saw that his mother was busy in the courtyard, and the east end of the courtyard had been fenced with wood, and it was divided into three parts, each with twenty chickens, twenty ducks and twenty geese.

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

"Xin'er, are you out of school?"

"Hmm!"

"We also raise chickens, ducks and geese!" The old lady had happiness on her face.

Luo Xin also nodded happily, the atmosphere of a farmer at home became more and more lively, and the whole courtyard was much more vivid.

"Mother, I want to eat meat today." Luo Xin sells cuteness for the sake of his stomach.

"Okay, mother, I'm going to buy meat for you!"

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

My father and eldest brother worked in the fields for three days, and finally got the land ready. Luo Xin and the eldest brother lay side by side on the kang, and told the eldest brother to wait for him to come back tomorrow afternoon and then go to catch fish together, and then go to sleep with a smile.

The next day.

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

"Big brother, I'm back!"

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

"Good!"

Luo Xin put down the bookcase, and the two brothers ran towards the big river outside the village with a wooden barrel. When they came to the river, they ran upstream. It's not the first time that the two of them have come here to catch fish, they are familiar with the road, Luo Xin ran behind the eldest brother, and his heart was very excited. In fact, there is also a little strange in his heart, after he came to Daming, it seems that because of this body, his soul has become young and energetic.

Not only did he not reject this feeling, but he enjoyed it very much. Why not enjoy being able to live a wonderful childhood all over again?

The two men found a small dam upstream, and then they began to fill the silt in wooden barrels, and it would take at least five pounds of silt to block such a dam, which is actually not small.

The two men blocked the upstream inlet with silt, cutting off the water source to the dam, and then the brothers jumped into the river with wooden barrels and began to splash water with wooden barrels.

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

After catching all the carp fry in the dam, Luo Xin excitedly picked up the barrel and said, "Big brother, we will catch it again tomorrow." ”

"Good!"

The two men carried the barrel back, which would not have been carried by another eight-year-old child. But Luo Xin, who has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, is quite easy.

The two of them went straight to the field, and from a distance they saw my father sitting on the ridge of the field smoking a cigarette pouch.

"Daddy!" The two brothers shouted.

Luo Xin stood up from the ridge of the field, ran towards the little brothers, and then took a wooden bucket in one hand, and strode towards the field, while glancing at the fish fry in the bucket, his face was happy:

"No less catches!"

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

The father and son strode to the field, and as soon as Luo Ping poured the two wooden barrels into the field, hundreds of fish fry swam in the ditch and disappeared into the mud underground.

"There's a door!" Luo Ping's face showed a look of joy and said, "Xin'er, how many do you say we raise?" ”

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

"Three thousand!" Luo Ping's eyes lit up, and he said while calculating: "Even if it's three yuan, it's nine thousand yuan, it's nine thousand yuan!" ”

Nine guan money is not a small amount at this time in the Ming Dynasty, half a guan money is enough for Luo Xin to be bound for one year, and nine guan money is enough for Luo Xin to pay eighteen years of bondage.

"Dad, buy a cow!" Luo Xin said: "In the future, when this carp grows up, it will not be sold in the village at all, and it will still have to be transported to the county seat." And most of the heads have to be sold to restaurants in the county, and we need an ox cart. ”

"Hmm!" Luo Ping nodded and said, "If you buy a cow, you can still cultivate the land, and you won't lose money." ”

Grandpa, uncle and cousin stood in their fields and watched coldly, and their eyes were full of the appearance of looking at a loser. The surrounding villagers are also pointing fingers. But Luo Xin, father and son, didn't see it at all. They are not worried that the fish will be stolen by the village neighbors when they grow up in the future, in this era, the peasant family is still very pure and moral, and no one does this kind of thing of stealing chickens and dogs, especially the people in a village.

Luo Qing and Luo Xin caught fish fry for three days in a row, and they caught more than 3,000 fish fry before they gave up. Then Luo Xin didn't care about it and began to concentrate on reading.

The family bought a cow, which made farming easier. Luo Ping and Luo Qing poured out more time to practice martial arts, and Luo Xin was completely out of farm work, because he was not needed at home. He began to concentrate more on reading, and gradually became more bookish, less fierce, and more elegant.

During the vacation in mid-April, Luo Xin went into the city again, changed a book, and paid two ingots of silver from Steward Lu, and went to the shop in the city to buy a set of tea sets and buy some Longjing tea. It's just that this tea is not new tea, which makes Luo Xin sigh that the place where he lives is still too small. I bought another pair of Go, two brushes, and bits and pieces, and then returned to Shanglin Village with my eldest brother.
