Chapter 154 Red Carp
The sky was extremely gloomy, and the wind on the lake seemed to be getting stronger at this moment.
Lu Quan looked at Xiao Si, wrapped in a coat and sitting in a small group at the hatch of the ship, his mind buzzing.
Why does this kid have so many ideas!
Lu Sheige put his hand into the armhole: "Well, if we don't come to settle down, I think Jiangjiaba is quite good."
"Then...then why buy this hilltop?" Lu Quan was a little confused about what Xiaosi meant!
Why is this?
Lu Sheige's eyes glanced across the lake, and the sunlight shone into her eyes, as if firelight was dancing: "It's useful, dad will know about it later."
She couldn't tell him now that Lu Quan had been honest all his life and allowing him to buy the top of Dayun Mountain was already the biggest decision he could make.
If he knew why she bought Dayunshan, he was afraid that this honest man would not be able to sleep peacefully from now on.
Later!
Lu Quan's heart felt as if a hot coal had been poured with cold water, and smoke was rising, as if something was coming out of his throat.
He was forced to cough twice before swallowing what he wanted to say.
Why don't other people's children just spend money to buy a mountain? It's nothing. The money is earned by Xiaosi himself.
She is just a child, and it is normal to miss home and want to be close to her parents, and want to be close to them.
If you don't understand, then don't ask, and you can't make your children feel unhappy because of this.
If you have bought everything, there is still a mountain to climb, so there is no loss.
Lu Quan was afraid that he had said the wrong thing and made Xiao Si uncomfortable, so he hurriedly said, "It's okay if you don't come to live there. From now on, we will find someone to clean up this hill and plant trees. Let it grow. It will last ten or twenty years."
It can also be exchanged for some money. Even if we can't plant trees, after all, this hilltop belongs to our family and it can't escape."
When Xiaosi gets married, this mountain will be included in Xiaosi's dowry.
There were shops, fertile fields, and hills. Xiaosi could look for her husband's family in Gaoli.
It was a pity that he had spent an extra thirty taels of silver. If he had known that he would not come to settle down, he would have given the clan leader thirty taels, which was enough.
Ten liang was used to build the courtyard, and the remaining 10 liang was used as a thank-you gift to the clan leader by Lu Quan.
Lu Quan still felt a little uncomfortable when he thought that the extra money he had spent was given to the clan leader himself.
Why didn't I ask Xiaosi at that time? It wouldn't cost me twenty taels of silver to ask more.
Shantou bought it as soon as he bought it, but he could have spent less money building the yard, but because he made his own decision, the child spent an extra twenty taels of silver. This was Lu Quan's fault.
Lu Quan was not generous. On the contrary, after his family had money to buy land and a house, he still wore coarse linen clothes and did not pay attention to food and clothing.
He was used to being poor, and he had experienced the feeling of being so hungry that his whole family almost died together, which made him value food and money more than anything else.
Xiao Si wants to come to Dongyang County to buy a house. Regardless of whether the whole family comes here to build a house and settle down, this hilltop will definitely be given to Xiao Si in the future. When Xiao Si gets married and comes back to worship his ancestors, he will always have to deal with the clan leaders.
That's why he was willing to spend more money so that when Xiao Si came back, he wouldn't be in trouble.
He didn't expect that this child wanted to buy the mountain but refused to live there.
Forget it, I can't think about it, my heart still hurts when I think about it.
Lu Quan looked at the surrounding environment, stopped the boat in a deep area of water, took out the trawl net, and started lowering the net in the middle of the lake.
I might be able to catch a big fish by setting down two nets. Then I can sell them when I pass by Jiangjiaba, and I can exchange them for some copper coins.
If he does more, the money he spends will gradually be saved.
Lu Quan got off the net with peace of mind, while Lu Sheige sat cross-legged at the door of the cabin and did not move.
In her hand was the purse Lu Quan had just given her, which contained two hundred and fifty taels of silver notes.
This is her money, but it is not her money.
After buying Dayun Mountain, she, Lu Sheige, is now a debtor with a debt of two hundred and fifty taels of silver!
However, thinking about buying a big mountain with two hundred and fifty taels, she felt a little excited.
Now, she is a person with land, a house, a shop and a mountain!
The most important thing is that Dayun Mountain was bought by her. After the yard is built, she will spend some money to build a house on the mountain. Everything is ready and all she needs is Dongfeng.
Lu Quan got off twice on the road, and he didn't know whether it was due to good luck or because he had changed places.
I actually caught two red carps, one weighing four pounds.
Winter is coming soon, there are weddings and funerals, children are one month old, and the elderly are celebrating their birthdays. This red carp is a good thing.
Because the fish is red, it is very auspicious, looks good, is rarely caught, and sells for a very high price.
A good-quality red carp can be sold for at least fifty copper coins in Jiangjiaba.
No matter whose family is in trouble, carp are always bought in pairs.
Two pieces are one hundred copper coins.
If it hadn't been a long delay, Lu Quan would have loved to live in the middle of the lake and catch a few red carps.
When they arrived at Jiangjiaba, the father and son were delayed for a while because of two red carps.
By the time the boat entered the usual waterway, it was already past noon.
Before the boat got close to their field, Lu Xiaoli's figure flashed past, and then she shouted loudly: "Sister, I saw Daddy and Xiaosi. Go and tell Mom that Daddy and Xiaosi are back."
Lu Quan and Xiaosi didn't come back last night, and Qiu was so worried that she didn't sleep well all night.
Early in the morning, I ordered the three sisters Xiaoqing to go out and wait.
Lu Xiaoqing and Lu Xiaoyu went to the temporary dock near Hong Lake to wait, while Xiao Li waited in the river on the farmland side.
Qiu held Xiaowu in her arms and had no intention of doing any work. She just kept running back and forth.
At noon, Xiaoqing went back to cook. Qiu didn't even eat lunch and was focused on waiting at the dock on the other side of Honghu Lake.
No, when Xiaoli saw her father and Xiaosi coming back, she ran back happily and hurriedly told her mother.
The family met at the door. Ms. Qiu was worried and happy and punched Lu Quan on the arm twice: "You are so heartless. You didn't come back yesterday. Why are you here now?"
Lu Quan was not angry either, he happily allowed Qiu to complain, and the family entered the door.
Hearing that Lu Quan had returned from Dongyang County, Zhang San hurried over before his family could enter and sit down.
Lu Quan was holding a bowl and squatting in the yard, eating and talking.
Lu’s ancestral hall, red carp on the road. Lu Quan was not a particularly talkative person. When it came to Lu’s ancestral hall, he only talked about it in a few words.
No one was actually very interested in the Lu Family Ancestral Hall. What surprised them was that paying one hundred cents per person for a meal was a bit excessive.
When Lu Quan mentioned that he caught two red carp somewhere, everyone's interest immediately aroused.
This is a rare red carp, and two were caught at one time.
Thinking that this fish was rare, everyone wished that Lu Quan would put down his job right now and take them to that water area to set the net.
Regardless of whether you can catch red carp or not, you always have to try.
If you catch it, a fish costs fifty cents, which is not cheap.
