Chapter 190: Morning Run
"I understand. I will go and have a look today. I will tell you later." Qiao Zhiyan nodded. He was quite familiar with the situation here. He was the grandmother of the martyr's family before. Someone secretly sent her something to him, and the others were taken care of.
"Okay, what should I do? Let's go for a run." Lou Manyue left after hearing what he wanted to hear. It was dawn late in winter, so even if they delayed here for more than ten minutes, the sky did not really light up.
After the warm-up, a few people started running up the mountain. Today he wanted to go into the mountain to see if he left the traps he left and if there were anyone to do them. Then he took Brother Lou to some good things, just treat it as a wedding gift given in private.
Before the holiday, she had prepared a wedding gift for Brother Lou and sent it to someone. It was a pair of red painted kettles with two big words of wedding, which just met her request.
"Second brother, what else is missing in the new house?" Lou Manyue had never been to the new house. She couldn't help with many things inside. Her father was not here, so she could only think about it herself.
"Nothing is missing. You, don't spend money. You are always big-handed. Uncle is not at home. You have to think more about yourself and save more money around you." Brother Lou knew that he was thinking about giving him something, so he quickly refused and taught her a lesson with righteous words there.
"That's good. If you lack something, tell me, I have a way to get you many things." Lou Manyue whispered to her. He also knew that the wedding was a bit hasty and there were many things that were not prepared. However, now that he has money and no tickets, he can't do anything at all.
"Really? I don't have a ticket in my hand, and I don't know where to go. Please help me see if I can get a women's watch." Brother Lou was a little embarrassed and scratched his head.
"What did the second sister-in-law's family ask?" Lou Yueru asked in confusion beside her.
"No, it was a bit unfair to him because of the divorce. I just thought about giving some compensation. But you also knew that your second brother was incompetent and had nothing except a broken bicycle. I just thought that the gossip in this village was really bad, but that was already a certain fact. I couldn't change it for a while, so I wanted to compensate her. Don't worry, their family is kind and will not make unreasonable demands. Also, although you are my sister, your work is yours. My brother has no right to ask you to give up your work to others. I am not stupid." Brother Lou waved his hand quickly, for fear that his sister would misunderstand his future wife, so he quickly explained.
"Yes! But that watch should be a little more expensive than the supply and marketing cooperative. Second brother, how much does your private money have?" Lou Manyue looked at him with some amusement and explained clumsyly.
"No, not much. I have nothing else to need except this. Please help me think of a solution. You can do it after getting married, so you don't have to rush for these days." Brother Lou's second brother blushed when asked about private money and was a little hesitant.
Lou Yueru covered her mouth and smiled unkindly. His parents were very open-minded. Before, they would have all the remaining money each at home except for the food they had allocated together. No one in the village would do this. Their family was the only one.
In addition to earning work points, they also make extra money. Brother Lou can also work as a carpenter, help people build houses and be a tiler, and second brother Lou can write some articles and send them to the newspaper to publish them. There will also be royalties, and this money is not required to be handed over to my mother.
The three of them ran for nearly two hours before slowly returning to the village. Qiao Zhiyan and the others said they had already prepared the trap for going to see. When they got home, Aunt Li happened to prepare breakfast.
"Dad, are we going up the mountain? Today, the matter on the new house has been handled. Just wait until the wedding will be welcomed." Brother Lou asked casually, unable to see the father washing by the well.
"Go, it's already cold now, you can put things on it. If you don't catch prey today, then make a trap there. There are still two or three days left, don't worry." The Lou family was looking at his somewhat silly son, shook his head and continued to brush his teeth.
"Dad, then we both go too. It would be better if we dream of wild boars. Then my brother will be in the limelight and can do better in the wedding banquet." Lou Yueru came out of the small room and heard that they were going to go up the mountain to hunt, and immediately became energetic.
"I know, you guys will go and finish your meal and change your clothes quickly." The Lou family glanced at his daughter with some disgust.
Lou Yueru didn't care what her father looked at? Since she hit the mountain last time she hit the wild boar, she has never had the chance to go up the mountain.
"I know, I heard it all, come and have breakfast soon." Lou Manyue urged her to come and have a quick meal without waiting for him to speak.
After breakfast, the four of them brought their tools and went up the mountain.
"Moon Moon, take uncle to the place where you hit the wild boar last time." The Lou family was walking to the stream next to the cave and saw the simple earth stove that was built before still there. Then they remembered that he had not been to the place where they hit the wild boar herd before, and this time they went to see it.
"Okay, but if you want to go there, you won't come back for lunch." Lou Manyue nodded and looked at the time. It was almost nine o'clock.
When it is cold, the breakfast in the village is usually around 10 o'clock and lunch is after 6 o'clock. It may be more appropriate to say that dinner is more appropriate. However, when Lou Manyue's grandfather was alive, he once said that when children are growing up, they will be hungry for too long, which will be bad for their stomachs. And if it becomes a habit, their health will also become worse in the future. After hearing this, Aunt Li kept making three meals, no matter how thin the dry it was, it must be three meals anyway.
Even in the years of famine, she never gave up on this habit. Even if she made some wild vegetable soup, she would make it three meals.
Aunt Li is a successful person and has been afraid of being hungry since she was a child, so no matter when, the food she stocked up was enough for their family of four or five. In the last year, if she hadn't had her habits, their family would have starved to death by one or two.
"It's okay, there are cakes in the basket. We can just have a meal later. If it's not good, you can cook pheasants first and roast them." The Lou family was waving his hand. He knew the habit of his old woman. Since he was going up the mountain, he must have food in his basket and a kettle.
"Okay, let's go now. If you're faster, you can get there in an hour and a half." Lou Manyue took a look, covered with tightly covered basket, nodded, and walked to the front to lead the way.
