Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 10 Reed Leaf
Three days before the Dragon Boat Festival, the reed leaves around the town were wiped clean by the people nearby.

Lu Xiaoqing walked in the front, carrying a bamboo basket full of big reed leaves.

Beside him was Lu Xiaoli carrying a basket, behind him was Lu Xiaoyu carrying a knife, and Lu Yange was leisurely with his hands free.

"Can this reed leaf really be sold for money?" Lu Xiaoli asked again worriedly.

The four siblings came out early in the morning before the dew dried up. They picked and picked, picked and picked, washed and washed, and finally picked two baskets of reed leaves by the river beach.

It was Xiao Si who said that this reed leaf can be sold for money, so they came here.

"Try it."

Whether it can be sold for money or not, Lu Yangge can't guarantee it.

However, she walked around the town in the past few days and felt that there was still hope for these reed leaves to be sold.

Lu Xiaoli muttered unwillingly: "If it can't be sold..."

"If you can't sell it, it doesn't matter." Lu Xiaoqing glanced back at Lu Xiaoli, his eyes were full of warnings.

Lu Xiaoli could only bite her lower lip patiently, and swallowed back what she wanted to say.

Xiaosi was sent back by his uncle's family, and he became seriously ill, and took medicine off and on for half a month before he could barely go out.

Mother was afraid that Xiaosi would be weak, so she forced her to stay at home for more than a month. When May came and the weather became much warmer, she was willing to let her go out.

It can be seen that in the eyes of parents, this son who returned home suddenly is more important than the three daughters they raised by their side.

Even Xiao Wu, who is still breastfeeding, can't compare to Xiao Si. Xiao Wu makes gruel made of [-]% rice.

As for the third sister, it would be nice to have vegetable dumplings and brown rice. If you want to eat rice porridge, go ahead and dream.

Weeping willows near the water are planted beside Honghu Lake. The breeze blows, the waves splash, and the slender willows sway in the wind.

The weather is getting warmer and the food is getting more and more.

It is no longer a luxury to be able to eat, and now, Lu Xiaoli wants to eat better.

Looking at the reed leaves in the basket, Lu Xiaoli's resentful expression became cheerful again.

Xiao Si said that if Wei Ye sells the meat, he can buy meat.

As long as she can eat meat, it's not impossible for her to give in to Xiaosi in the future.

Lu Yange conveniently folded a few willow branches and put them under his armpits, weaving them as he walked, grabbing wild flowers on the roadside, and soon a beautiful wreath had a rough outline.

Probably because Lu Yange's hands were exceptionally dexterous, the garlands he wove were not only strong and firm, but also wild flowers of various colors were mixed in them, which turned out to be extraordinarily beautiful.

Lu Xiaoyu turned his head back frequently, and finally followed Lu Yange's side step by step, his eyes longing to be glued to the wreath.

"It's so beautiful." Lu Xiaoyu licked his lips.

Lu Xiaoli, who was walking in front, turned around when he heard the sound, and his eyes couldn't help but light up when he saw the wreath in Lu Yan's singer.

"Xiao Si, can this wreath be sold for money?"

"It seems impossible."

It's just some wild flowers and weeds, who has spare money to buy these.

Lu Xiaoli's originally bright eyes immediately dimmed, no matter how good-looking she can't sell for money, she doesn't care too much.

Lu Yange handed the garland that he had made in his hand to Xiaoyu beside him: "Little fish, here you are."

"Here, for me?"

Lu Xiaoyu was so happy that she almost fainted, when she heard that Xiao Si was going to give her this beautiful wreath, she immediately stretched her head over happily, and Lu Yange put the wreath on her head.

The little girl is obviously one year older than Lu Yange, but because of lack of food and clothing, she is a bit thin and out of shape. With sparse yellow hair, she looks like a big head and a thin neck.Patch piled up the white clothes washed with patches, and looked a year or two younger than Lu Yange.

Lu Quan asked Lu Yange and Lu Xiaoyu to raise twins. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that this family favors boys over girls. Although the boys are thin and weak, they are well-raised, and the girls are really careless.

"Sister, do you look good?"

Xiaoyu stretched out his hand to touch it cautiously, and wanted to take it off to have a look, but was afraid that it would fall apart.

The garland fell on Lu Xiaoyu's head, the bright flowers covered the yellowed hair, and the palm-sized face that set off was a little more bloody, making it look much more delicate.

Lu Xiaoqing took a closer look at Lu Xiaoyu's wreath, then raised his hand to smooth her fallen hair, with a smile on his face: "Okay, look."

When she was young, she was frightened and lost her soul when she was shocked by thunder. She was ill for a long time, and when she recovered, she fell into a stuttering problem.

On weekdays, Lu Xiaoqing seldom speaks, even if he speaks in front of his family, he just skips out word by word.

Satisfied by the praise, Lu Xiaoyu turned around and moved closer to Lu Xiaoli: "Second Sister, is it pretty?"

If you can't sell it for money, no matter how good-looking it is, Lu Xiaoli is not interested, so he replied perfunctorily: "Well, it looks good, it looks good..."

Lu Xiaoyu didn't notice the second sister's perfunctory at all, and touched the wreath on her head cautiously, the corners of her mouth were slightly pursed, she turned up high, and even her steps were a little brisk.

The eldest sister and the second sister praised her for being good-looking, so she must be really good-looking.

Xiao Si is really good, not only can earn money, but also weave garlands, she must treat Xiao Si better in the future, who told her and Xiao Si to be twins.

The wreath that Xiao Si made up was the first one given to her. This kind of affection is different from other brothers and sisters.

When the four brothers and sisters of the Lu family arrived at the market, each of them had a beautiful wreath on their heads.

The four siblings searched for half a day, and managed to find a vacant seat in a corner.

On the other side, there was an old lady who sold vegetables. When she saw them coming, she moved the basket specially so that the two baskets of their family could be put down.

"Thank you, ma'am." Lu Yange grinned at the vegetable seller, with bright eyes and bright teeth, but the little face was so dark that it was hard to see because Qiu had touched it.

"Are you selling zong leaves?"

The aunt took a look, the corners of her mouth twitched, her eyes were full of disdain, but she praised insincerely: "This leaf is big and clean, it must be easy to sell."

When Lu Xiaoli was told by the aunt, she immediately became overjoyed, as if someone would buy their reed leaves immediately.

Even Lu Xiaoqing, who had always been taciturn, showed a slight smile on his face. Only Lu Xiaoyu was still touching the wreath on his head, looking very cautious and cherishing it.

The four brothers and sisters found this place, which is very close to the pier.

There is a ship lock in Jiangba Town, and there are many ships passing through the river, and the big ships lined up on the bank waiting to pass the lock are squeezed far away.

On the pier, goods are piled up like a mountain.The boatmen, trackers, and stewards who came and went were noisy and lively, which made Lu Yange a little disappointed.

Will she never go back?
After studying hard for more than 20 years, and finally graduating from university, I came to this dynasty inexplicably.

You are still so poor, you can't eat the next meal!

"Little Four."

Lu Xiaoli waited a little impatiently, and pounded Lu Yange with his elbow: "Why is no one buying our zong leaves?"

Lu Yange looked up at the sun, then at the few women who were shopping for vegetables: "Wait a minute."

It was still early, and she was in no hurry.
