Chapter 4

Old man Luo seldom loses his temper, but no matter how unhappy he is, he just snorts twice. Throwing a bowl like this is really rare. Yao couldn't help but glared at Luo Tiandu who provoked trouble, and turned to pat on Luo Baihan's door : "Sleep! Sleep! Sleep! You know how to sleep! Hurry up and go to work in the field! You only know how to eat!"

Fang knew that her mother-in-law Yao was obviously scolding Luo Baihan, but in fact she was criticizing Sang Huai and scolding herself, so she felt very uncomfortable.

She and Luo Baisu are not lazy people. Although the old man Luo is good at doing farm work, but he is old, and most of the work at home is done by the couple. Luo Baisu is a scholar, so it saves a lot. Miscellaneous taxes, counting these years, have really saved the family a lot.But now they don't count as working, and they are accused by Yao Shi of eating instead of working. Fang Shi can't help it no matter how good-tempered she is, but there are still children in the house, and it's not good for adults to quarrel, so she bears it Enduring again, he didn't eat breakfast, and Luo Baisu went to the field with a hoe and a shovel on their shoulders.

Luo Baihan in the room was woken up by his old lady, got up sleepily, drank a bowl of porridge, flicked his sleeves, and was about to go out.

Yao shi was so angry that he asked him angrily, "Where are you going so early in the morning?"

"Today I have an appointment with Brother Wang to discuss poetry, and I will be back later." Everyone in the Yao family could not read a few words, let alone poetry, and Luo Baihan was too lazy to talk to his old lady, so he replied impatiently.

The son's contemptuous attitude was like adding fuel to the flames, making the unhappy Yao family even more furious, he threw the tongs in his hand heavily on the ground, and cursed: "Your father asked you to follow me to plant the land." , Why do you still write poems?! Get rid of this idea as soon as possible, and learn how to grow crops to be serious."

Luo Baihan had no choice but to reason with her: "Planting the land and farming, how much money can you earn from farming? You and daddy work hard all year round and still can't fill your stomach. Anyway, I am a scholar now, and I can get a job if I work hard. It's not difficult, no matter what kind of official you will be in the future, won't it be better than farming here?"

How could he live like this?Ever since he became a scholar, everyone in the village looked up to him. He discussed poetry and papers with a group of classmates every day. When drinking, I will bring a few singers with me, which is very romantic.Luo Baihan has seen such a world, how can he be like his father and mother, facing the loess and back to the sky for the rest of his life, working hard without getting a little money.

From the bottom of his heart, Mrs. Yao never thought that Luo Baihan would live his life by farming the land. Today, he got angry at Luo Baihan only after being disturbed by old man Luo and Fang's mother and daughter. He persuaded him to go back to the house and take some money , let him go to town.

Luo Ming finished the porridge in silence, helped Yao Shi pick up the bowl, and carried the basket to hunt pigweed. Luo Tian didn't want to be in the same room with Yao Shi, so he took her hand and acted like a baby: "Sister, I go with you."

Luo Ming thought she was bored because there was no one at home to play with her, so he took her little hand and went out together, turned a corner, put her in Changhui's house next door, touched her little head and coaxed her: "Little Be good, I'm playing at Changhui's house today, and my sister will bring you delicious food when she comes back."

She saw that the dates at Second Grandma's house seemed to have become quite red. Although Second Grandma was stingy, she could secretly pick a few for Xiaodu to eat while Second Grandma was out door-to-door.

But Luo Tian didn't want to play with a kid with two tubes of snot at all, she had a lot to think about!
Yao shi's attitude today made her absolutely sure of one thing, as long as Yao shi is in charge, Luo Baisu will never want to continue studying and taking scientific exams in this life, she must come up with a way to make money as soon as possible.

In her previous life, she was just an ordinary person who was extremely ordinary. She opened a handmade rice noodle factory at home and bought two machines to make rice noodle. People in the town basically bought rice noodle at her home and made it at home. It was cheap. And convenient.

Speaking of which, no one seems to eat rice noodles here.Occasionally, she would go to town with Luo Baisu and his wife, and she would see roadside stalls or noodle restaurants selling noodles, but never saw one selling rice noodles.

Could it be that people here don't know how to make rice noodles?

She rolled her eyeballs, thinking quickly.Rice noodles are flexible, smooth, and very delicious. In modern times, most southerners prefer rice noodles to noodles.

Maybe she could try making some rice noodles to sell?I just don’t know how people here accept rice noodles?
Luo Tiandu has always been a man of action. Since he thought of the idea of ​​making rice noodles, he had to start preparing immediately. He wished he could make it right away and sell it for money.

However, rice noodles are made of rice, but food is not cheap these days. A bucket of grain costs about [-] yuan, and white rice is even more expensive because it has to be shipped from the south.Where does the rice for rice noodles come from?You can't ask Yao Shi for it, can you? !She certainly won't give it.

She was worried again.Therefore, it is difficult to start a business, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky!The most difficult thing is not knowing where the first pot of gold will come from.

Luo Mingdu came back after hunting pig weeds, and came back with the sand dates he picked secretly in his skirt. He found that the two beautiful eyebrows of the little girl were wrinkled like caterpillars, and she looked bitter and bitter.She thought that the younger sister was bored, so she scooped up water silently, washed a few sandy dates, put them in a bowl, and secretly stuffed them to her.

Luo Tiandu was worrying about having no money to buy rice, when suddenly there was a bowl in front of him, with a few half-red and half-green sand dates lying in it, his eyes lit up.

These days, there are few snacks!

She picked one up and put it in her mouth. Although the sand date is small, it has thin skin and crispy flesh. It is very juicy. When she opened her mouth to bite, her mouth was full of sweet and delicious jujube juice, which tasted extremely sweet.

Luo Tiandu has a small mouth, but he greedily bites the whole jujube into his mouth, making his cheeks bulge. He looks like a little squirrel stealing his mouth, very cute.

Although Luo Mingdu is very sensible, he is only eight years old after all. He just thinks that the little girl is very cute no matter what she looks like. He couldn't help pinching her little face and asked her: "Why are you frowning all the time today? Like an old man , how old are you?"

Luo Tiandu secretly rolled his eyes, and thought, I am much bigger than you little brat.

The two sisters secretly ate up a few sand dates, and Luo Ming was afraid of being discovered, so he threw the date stones into the cesspit in front of the house, and finally poured a pinch of stove ash on it to cover up the traces.

After eating the dates, Luo Tiandu went back to the house to search for his belongings.During the Chinese New Year, adults would wrap a penny in red paper and send it to the children as a sign of auspiciousness. Luo Tian was cute and smart, basically every time, but because she was too young, the adults All the money given was confiscated, and later she asked Fang for a small clay pot, and when giving out the new year's money, Luo Tian insisted on keeping it for herself, and would not give it to anyone else; old man Luo liked her, and occasionally would Asking her to help buy some small things, I deliberately gave an extra penny, and saved every penny, and there were nine pennies.

Nine Wen is really not much, but she is only four years old, and nine Wen is a huge sum of money for a four-year-old child.

She ran to the only grocery store in the village with nine Wen coins in her pocket.

Luojia Village is not far from the town, and it took more than an hour to arrive. The big things that are usually used, the villagers drove to the town to buy them all during the slack, but they used more sauces on a daily basis. It is impossible to wait to go to the town to buy small things such as vinegar and so on. Lizheng asked the villagers for their opinions and set up a small groceries at the head of the village. Anything the villagers lack is here. Buying, if you don’t have the time to sell something in the town, you can also put it in the grocery store for consignment, which is very convenient.

Luo Tiandu ran to the shop, and said in a childlike voice, "I want to buy white rice."

Today, Mrs. Lizheng was in charge of the store. The business in the store slowed down after the slack season. She had nothing to do, so she took out the clothes she was going to wear in winter, and sewed up the broken place. Suddenly, she heard someone Talking, looked up and saw no one, hurriedly put down the work in hand and stood up to have a look, happy.

Luo Tiandu is small and not even as tall as the counter. He stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck hard enough to barely poke his head out. He looked very much like a turtle trying to crawl out with its head stretched out.

Mrs. Lizheng picked her up and asked her with a smile: "Go shopping for your grandpa again? There are new candies in the shop today. I'll give you a taste." Then she went to find candies for her.

There are no daughters in Lizheng's family, only two boys, very naughty, wearing clean clothes early in the morning, but at noon, it looks like a circle of dust rolled in the mud, Lizheng's wife has a headache when she sees it, so every time Seeing the beautiful and clean Luo Tiandu is extremely rare. The most important thing is that Luo Tiandu is smart. He can help adults with shopping at only a few years old, and he can calculate accounts quickly and accurately.

It's a pity that it's a daughter. If this is a son, old man Luo may have another scholar in his family.

Lady Lizheng was both envious and a little pity in her heart, if only she had such a girl.

No matter how entangled Lizheng's wife was, Luo Tian thought that the price of grain here is relatively expensive, miscellaneous grains are fifty cents a bucket, white rice is even more expensive, and the price of high-quality white rice is almost the same as usual.To make rice noodles, she didn't need high-quality white rice, so she bought a catty of broken rice for seven renminbi, packed it in a rice bag, and carried it back wobbly.

When I returned home, Yao was not there, and Luo Mingdu was cooking pig food in the stove. When she saw her walk in with flushed face and sweaty head, he quickly picked up the bag and asked her, "What are you going to tell me?" , I'll hold it for you, what if you fall?" He took a towel and wiped her sweat.

Luo Tian gritted his teeth and shook his small arms. This is a bad thing about being small, and he can't even lift a pound of rice.

Luo Mingdu rummaged through the bag and found it was a bag of broken rice. He stared at her and asked, "Where did it come from?"

Luo Mingdu's glaring look is quite typical of Fang's, with furrowed eyebrows and fierce eyes staring at people, but it's a pity that Fang's expression is a bit majestic, and it's a bit nondescript for an eight-year-old child.

Luo Tian was not afraid of her, and shook his arm holding her: "I bought it, sister, let's make something delicious."
