Three and a half women in four courtyards

Chapter 55

When Bao Yixian arrived at the cattle pen, he saw Wu Laqin peeling the cowhide and Beiji licking the cow's blood.

Bao Yixian had often seen this scene before.

At that time, it was a warm and sweet feeling.

But now, it has become the pain of thousands of steel needles piercing the apex of my heart.

After staying in Daxigouchuan for so long, she deeply understands the value of cattle to the people here.

Without cattle, the seeds of this spring cannot be planted in the ground.

If you can't plant land in spring, where will you get food in autumn?

Without food, life is gone.

"Oh, mom, go back and wait, there will be beef to eat in a while! I don't need your help here, go back..."

Before Wu Laqin finished speaking, Bao Yixian's neck and earcups came down with a "snap", hitting Wu Laqin to sit on the ground, still holding the Mongolian knife in his hand.

The fourth emperor also chased after him to the cowshed, saw Bao Yixian beating Wu Laqin, and quickly pulled her back: "Oh, why are you still beating the child! Just kill it, a livestock, kill it and then buy it." Hurry up, go back!" said Bao Yixian and dragged him back.

Wu Laqin sat on the ground in a daze, he didn't understand why Bao Yixian got so angry and beat him.

"Wulaqin, Wulaqin! Why are you so careless!" After the fight, Bao Yixian also regretted it. After all, he is the descendant of the fourth prince Wulianghai.

She never hit him, not just because of her status, but mainly because she loved him too much.

Wu Laqin sat on the ground, he didn't feel any pain, but he didn't wake up (understand what's going on), Bao Yixian who loves him so much, what is wrong with Bao Yixian today?

"Quickly stand up and confess to your father!" Bao Yixian said to Wu Laqin in a commanding manner.

"Oh?! Mom, what's the matter! I'll kill cattle and get beef for you. Didn't you say you want to eat beef on the grassland?" Wu Laqin felt a little wronged.

"Alas—you!" Bao Yixian couldn't explain his interests to Wu Laqin for a while, so he turned and left.

Pulling Wu Laqin from the Four Emperors, he said: "An, it's okay, you did the right thing! Be filial to your son!" Turning around, he went after Bao Yixian.

"Oh, how could you kill our cow?" Congduo said with reproach when he saw that Wu Laqin was still sitting stubbornly on the ground with an unhappy expression on his face.

"Cow, isn't it just for people to eat?" Wu Laqin was puzzled.

"Ang, I have never eaten beef since I was a child. A cow has worked all its life, and you have the heart to kill it? Do you want to eat its meat?" Cong Duo asked Wu Laqin.

Seeing Wu Laqin's innocent eyes, he went on to say: "My grandpa said that cows are spiritual, and only that old bachelor dares to kill cows. Killing cows is a wicked thing! Endless!"

"Om?! Back then, before us, every meal had beef!"

"Without cattle, how do we grow our land? We can't plant the land, and we can't grow seedlings. What do we eat and drink?" Cong Duo said.

At this time, Wu Laqin realized that cattle are not only animals, but also spiritual objects; not only food, but also tools.

From the big kang in the front room of the courtyard.

The four emperors, Cong Duo, Cong Suhua, and Wu Laqin sat around a kang table.

Bao Yixian served a pot of stewed beef, served everyone a bowl of rice, and said, "An, eat, eat all!"

No one at the table moved their chopsticks and looked at Bao Yixian.

From the four emperors said: "Ang, don't be too busy, the children are waiting for you to serve. This beef is for you, if you don't move your chopsticks, the children dare not move."

"An, eat it." Bao Yixian filled a bowl of millet rice.

She took the bowl, came to the kang, sat on the edge of the kang, and said while eating: "Suddenly I don't want to eat beef! From now on, I will never eat beef for the rest of my life! Eat it."

"Oh, what are you doing (for)?" said the four emperors, "Beef and mutton are the food of the Mongolians, just like the millet of the Han people. This is a custom, I understand. Eat Come on, let's eat!"

"Ang, marry a chicken as a chicken, and marry a dog as a dog. Since I married Daxigouchuan, I have to live according to the customs of Daxigouchuan, and I will never return to the days of Jiuquan, Lotus and Moon Mountain!"

As Bao Yixian said, he gave each of Congduo, Congsuhua, and Wulaqin a piece of beef in their bowls.

She specially said to Wulaqin: "Oh, Wulaqin, if you like it, you can eat it by yourself! It's my mother who beat you."

Wu Laqin chewed the beef with tears rolling in his eyes.

"Oh, in the future, please stop poking fun (causing trouble)! Jiuquan Lotus Moon Mountain is occupied by Japanese devils, we can't go back! Daxigouchuan is our new home..."

Before Bao Yixian finished speaking, Wu Laqin burst into tears with a "wow", and the beef in his mouth fell into the bowl again.

"Ah! Look at you! Look at you saying these gaha!"

Stand up from the four emperors, walk to Wu Laqin from the kang, wipe his tears and the food on his face with a towel, and say, "Oh, it's okay! A man should wear a panty (set an example), these The little holiday is not a big deal, and it’s not what we thought. I just thought about it, this little Japanese devil won’t last long, and sooner or later he has to go back to their island. Jiuquan Lotus Moon Mountain will still be ours sooner or later!”

"Om?! Really, really?" Wu Laqin asked, sobbing.

"Ang, it must be true. I talked about this with the Master Hongdao in Miaocha. He is more knowledgeable. He said that China has its own army, and there are [-] million people in China. Sooner or later, they will fight back." The Four Emperors comforted Wu Laqin and said.

"Oh, then when I grow up, I will take the army to attack the Jiuquan Lotus Moon Mountain, and kill all the Japanese devils who poisoned me, Abu and Eji (father and mother)!" Wu Laqin made a gesture of holding a knife.

"Hey! Yes, this is a man! Eat more beef and grow stronger! Only when you are stronger can you fuck with them!" From the Fourth Emperor, he patted Wu Laqin on the shoulder.

Seeing Wu Laqin smile through tears, Bao Yixian's heart became brighter.

Looking at this scene, she thought that the Four Emperors really had a false reputation as a "good man", and that kindness was buried in their bones.

From the robbery flying on the grass to this incident of killing cattle, the four emperors have all shown their indifference and rationality towards money.

Although there are tens of mu of land from the Four Emperors, they are all leased to tenants, and the income is not too much.

He usually sees a doctor, and when he meets a wealthy family, he charges some money, and when he meets a poor family, he doesn't ask for money. Generally speaking, he doesn't lose money, and he has some income, but he is not a rich man.

The spring planting season is coming soon, and a farm ox is still a very important production tool for such a family.

But the Fourth Emperor just regretted it for a while, and didn't take it too seriously, but was afraid that Bao Yixian would feel sad, so he kept persuading her: "Oh, it's just a cow, I'll buy another one at Liangchufu Street tomorrow, no That's it. As for beating Wu Laqin like that?"

Bao Yixian thought to himself, it seems that it is safe to entrust the money left by the fourth prince to the fourth emperor.
