Chapter 7 Marriage
After returning home, Father Lu was a little depressed.
Took out a pipe and wanted to smoke a few puffs, but couldn't bear to do so, so he could only sit on the door railing and stare blankly.
Lu Changsheng comforted him with a few words, but seeing that it was useless, he went back to his room.
Many people know that this kind of depression is untenable, but human nature is like this, what can we do?
We can only wait.
After a few days, Lu Changsheng's handwriting was already very skillful. Even with his eyes closed, he could write out more than a hundred words without missing a single stroke.
"In less than two months, he will be 10 years old!"
Putting down the pen, he watched Xiao Heitu writing and drawing with a small wooden stick not far away, looked carefully for a moment, and then turned and left.
"Splash!"
More than a dozen figures were running around in the river.
Four of the figures were fishing in another part of the river, separated by dozens of meters.
"Caught it!"
Wang Heihou emerged from the water, holding a large white crucian carp in his hand.
"Changsheng, I have caught more and more fish recently. Is my skill better?"
Wang Heihou swam to Lu Changsheng and said excitedly.
Lu Changsheng nodded slightly.
Just at this moment, a crisp voice came.
A little head emerged from the water, and it was the girl Li Nangua.
"I... also caught it!"
Li Nangua's physical strength was not that strong, but she was agile. After this period of training, her skills were not inferior to Wang Heihou.
Lu Changsheng chose to form a team after careful consideration.
Investment is not random investment.
If the person he chooses has no possibility of bringing him benefits, he will definitely not waste energy on such thankless tasks.
Niu Dazhuang in the team has sufficient physical strength, but his weakness is his lack of skills.
Li Nangua has weak physical strength, but high comprehension. When Lu Changsheng teaches her, she can quickly understand it.
Wang Heihou has a good talent for slacking off.
The efficiency of the four people slacking off together is better than slacking off individually.
Therefore, except for the need to share some fish in the first half of the month, the benefits of Lu Changsheng in the later period are not worse than when he was slacking off before.
"The water level has dropped! It's easier to catch fish!"
Lu Changsheng said.
"Wang Heihou and Li Nangua each showed different degrees of disappointment on their faces.
They were eager to get Lu Changsheng's praise.
"It's always a child's mentality! "
Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
"The water level is dropping. I'm afraid I won't be able to fish in a while!"
The terrain of Zhaojia Village is relatively high. Looking at dozens of miles, there are only a few areas with flat rivers.
Once the water level of the river drops, if you want to continue fishing, you have to run dozens of miles away.
With their speed, they can't go back and forth in a day.
There are wild beasts and thorns everywhere in the mountains, and there are many mountain bandits. It is said that there is war in the west and refugees are everywhere.
It is still very dangerous for a child under 10 years old to leave the village.
Lu Changsheng doesn't want to take this risk for a little fish!
"Besides, it's almost the end of the year. It's better to be stable. After this year, if there is no news from Zhao Deshui, we can think of a way! "
This is the way it is in this era. It is very difficult to go on a long journey.
Lu Changsheng returned home carrying two fish.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lu's father and mother sitting in the yard with some smiles on their faces.
This is quite rare.
You know, Lu's father rarely smiles.
Looking at the man and the old woman sitting in front of them, he immediately understood.
This is a marriage arranged for my brother.
The man is the other matchmaker. The Zhao family in Nakamura.
The old woman is the matchmaker in the village!
Marriage is always arranged by parents, so even the person involved, Lu Haozi, does not know all the information about the woman's family.
Both parents thought it was appropriate and decided.
I don't know what they talked about, but the atmosphere on the table was a little depressing.
When Lu Changsheng came in, several people just glanced at him lightly and didn't look at him again.
"Mother, I caught two fish, let's make some fish soup later! "
Lu Changsheng walked to the pond beside the yard and released two palm-sized fish.
Splash!
The half-dead fish finally entered the water, gasping for breath and spitting out small bubbles.
Another row of water sounds was heard.
The middle-aged man couldn't help but look here twice, with a hint of envy in his eyes.
When Lu Changsheng returned to the house, he said, "I heard that your second son can catch fish from the river every day--"
Lu seemed to understand something and nodded quickly, "Yes, yes! In the past two months, he has almost never stopped!"
The middle-aged man smiled and didn't say much.
······
"Ouch!"
As soon as he entered the next room, a figure suddenly jumped up.
"It's Erdan! "
Lu Haozi looked a little embarrassed. Just now, he was sticking to the door and eavesdropping on the sounds in the yard. Unexpectedly, he was caught by Lu Changsheng.
"You can go out and take a look!" Lu Changsheng said.
For some reason, Lu Haozi always felt that his younger brother was a little different from before.
"No, no, no~ No!" He whispered, his face flushed.
······
The spring of elder brother Lu Haozi has come.
That night, the man was engaged to the Lu family under the witness of the matchmaker.
So, the dull elder brother worked harder than before, saying that he would save more for the future.
Privately, he also asked Lu Changsheng for advice on slacking off.
However, he deliberately took a few days to learn it. Not to mention catching fish, he couldn't even touch it a few times.
In this regard, older people don't have the advantage of children like them.
But Lu Haozi is full of energy.
At this time, it is close to the autumn harvest, and there are not so many farm works, so he wants to take advantage of this time to master a skill.
Not to mention being able to do it to the level of Lu Changsheng, at least he should be able to touch it occasionally.
"Changsheng, I know you are different from me. You are a visionary person. If you are not in the village in the future, I can also get some meat for my parents!"
Lu Haozi said so.
"During this period, our family conditions have improved a lot, do you know? In fact, this is not the first time I have met Xinghua, but she always doesn't look at me. If she didn't know that our family conditions have improved, she would not agree to this matter!"
Lu Changsheng frowned slightly and asked, "Brother, didn't you talk to Xinghua? "
Lu Haozi just laughed dryly.
Lu Changsheng had a bad feeling in his heart.
"How does Big Brother feel about her?"
"Ah~feeling? Feeling very good~very good~" At the end, the voice was already a weak mosquito sound.
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng didn't know what to say.
Just when the two of them reached the river, they suddenly took a deep breath.
Lu Haozi turned around and ran back.
"You stay here, I'll go back and inform everyone!" he shouted.
And Lu Changsheng looked at the river in front of him, his face full of surprise.
