Chapter 72 Eat Candy

When Mrs. Qiu came out of the west kitchen room, Lu Xiangge was squatting at the door of the backyard, watching several children surrounding a salesman buying maltose.

Not every child has copper coins to buy maltose, and the seller is not particular about anything. As long as it is grain, chicken, or other food that the child can take out, he can basically exchange it for a large or small piece of maltose.

Mrs. Qiu came out and looked at Lu Xiaosi, who was squatting on the ground watching people eating maltose. She couldn't help but feel soft: "Xiaosi, mother will also buy you a piece of maltose to sweeten your mouth."

"Mom, I don't want to eat, let's go back."

She is not a child and wants to be sweet.

Lu Xiuge actually doesn't like to eat sweets. When he was a child, his uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters who came to the orphanage all liked to bring sweets.

A pack of candies can be shared among many children.

In their eyes, the children in these orphanages are orphans whom no one wants, and they are very pitiful.

People who have a miserable life can only eat some candy to feel the sweetness of life.

Lu Sheige said he wouldn't eat it, so Qiu spent three cents to buy a piece as big as a palm, and asked the salesman to cut it into small pieces with a knife and wrap them in oil paper: "If you don't like it, go back and share it with your eldest, second and other sisters.

"

There is no child who doesn't like sweets. Xiaosi said that she is just being sensible if she doesn't eat them.

"Thank you, mother."

Lu Xiaosi took the candy and followed Mr. Qiu as he walked home.

With her mother's love, she actually doesn't refuse to eat sweets.

Mr. Qiu is coming to Fushun these days to teach Master Li from Taoshan and Yangzhou how to cook, so Lu Sage becomes Mr. Qiu's little follower.

"Mom, my father said he wanted to buy land and build a house?"

"How can land be so easy to buy?" Ms. Qiu sighed, "Our family doesn't have much money. Those big families can only sell it to a village, and those with small families can only sell one acre of land.

Most of the two acres of land have been bought by wealthy households in the village, and it’s not our turn.”

"oh."

Lu Xiangge lowered his head and looked at the stone road under his feet. He thought, it would be better not to sell it. If the rebels came over, it would be too late for everyone to escape. By then, we would not know who would get the cheaper land and new houses.

However, she was not prepared to tell Qiu and Lu Quan what shopkeeper Li said.

These two couples are both honest and conscientious country people.

After receiving several hundred taels of silver, I couldn't sleep day and night. I had to get up several times a night to check. If they knew that the Hongying Army was revolting in Huaicheng and would attack after the autumn harvest, they probably wouldn't even dare to sleep at night.

sleep.

It's not like Lu Shege never thought about escaping.

But she inquired privately and found out that her household registration was here, and there was no road guide, so the whole family couldn't go anywhere.

We can only take one step at a time and wait for the rebels to attack.

Mrs. Qiu walked in front, wondering if Xiaowu at home was crying or not, and her steps were a bit too long.

Lu Sheige followed behind, thinking about his thoughts and walking slower and slower.

Unknowingly, the distance between the two of them grew wider and wider, and no one noticed.

Passing by Xie's Pharmacy, Doctor Xie was sitting at the consultation table inside the door, waving to Lu Xiangge: "Lu Xiaosi, come here."

Since the last time, Lu Quan went to Nanyang and picked up someone. Doctor Xie said that it might be the Hongying Army and asked him to send it to the Tutu Temple. Later, the pavilion chief took two more officers and went to Ye Pier to search for the person.

Doctor Xie was a little frightened.

She couldn't explain why, but she always felt that Doctor Xie might not be as simple as he appeared.

Lu Sheige glanced at Mr. Qiu who was walking away, and stepped onto the steps of the pharmacy helplessly: "Doctor Xie, do you have anything to do with me?"

Doctor Xie saw Lu Xiaosi approaching and asked with a smile: "Xiaosi, have you seen the person your father saved last time again?"

There is no one in the shop at the moment. Doctor Xie is leading his grandson to dry herbs in the backyard, while Mrs. Xie is leading her two daughters to do needlework in the house.

Doctor Xie was the only one guarding the entire pharmacy.

Lu Xiaosi had just crossed the threshold with one foot and had not yet raised the other foot. He was stunned when he heard this: "Doctor Xie, didn't you take him away? My father and I never saw each other again!"

"Didn't you see it?"

Doctor Xie looked puzzled, "I did ask your father to send people to the Earth Temple that day. But then the town tightened the investigation, so I didn't have time to go, and I didn't see anyone when I went later! I thought it was...

Your father and son took it back."

"No, after sending it to Tutu Temple, the pavilion director took people to Ye Pier for inspection. My father was so scared that he dared to go back to look for people." Lu Sheige said, but his heart suddenly trembled.

When the pavilion director led people to search Ye Pier that day, she suspected that Dr.

Later, Lu Quan also took the money and sent it to Xie's pharmacy.

Dr. Xie was in the shop at that time and said that there was no one in the shop. He also said that Dr. Xie had gone to the countryside for medical treatment and would not be in the shop for the past two days.

Two days later, Lu Quan came again, and Dr. Xie still said that Dr. Xie had not returned from his medical visit.

This matter just ended.

Dr. Xie said that he had not received anyone, and old Dr. Xie said that there were no patients injured by drowning in the store.

Are these father and son telling the truth or lies?

Now, Dr. Xie asked her if she had seen that person. Was he trying to trick her?

Lu Sheige's mind was spinning rapidly, but his face didn't show any signs of it. He asked innocently: "Doctor Xie, is that man dead? Have you looked around?"

"Looking for it, I really can't find anyone."

Doctor Xie waved his hand, looking slightly sick, "I thought this person was taken back by your father. Since he didn't go back, he must have been rescued."

"It's best to rescue them, as long as they don't die."

Lu Xiaosi was still standing outside the door with half of his body, as if he was ready to leave at any time, "My father is still thinking about it and said that he came to see Dr. Xie in the past two days to ask. Before he came, old Dr.

You went to the countryside for medical treatment."

"Well, I've been to the countryside these past few days, and I just came back yesterday. When I came back, I heard my father say that your father came twice, and I realized that this person had disappeared. This person, too, has been here for so many days, and

I haven’t seen any news. Could it be that such a huge life-saving grace is just forgotten?”

"What a life-saving grace."

Lu Xiaosi finally walked through the door, "My dad said that even if they see a piglet in the water, they fishermen have to fish it out and send it to someone's home. Otherwise, it will break their heart."

I can’t afford fishing.”

"Yes, your parents are both kind-hearted people."

Doctor Xie changed the subject and asked, "I see that you have been following your mother to the pier these past two days. Are you going to the pier to sell fish? I heard that your father is not fishing in Honghu Lake now. He goes to the river every night to set nets. Is it true?

Are there more fish in the river than in Hong Lake?"

It is not convenient to take the waterway from Ye Pier to Laifushun, because Jiangjiaba is a straight street. When passing through the town, you will inevitably have to pass through shops of all sizes, including Xie's Pharmacy.

In the past few days, Lu Sheige had been accompanying Qiu to and from Fushun. The mother and son were thinking about growing fish and vegetables, and did not pay much attention to Xie's pharmacy.
