Disastrous year!Before the whole family is wiped out, a little blessing falls from the sky!

Chapter 55 Uncle Butterfly and Aunt Changbai Cake!

"Dad, at the end of March, spring plowing is about to begin. We have more than ten acres of land at home. I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with the farming season just by relying on manpower to pull the plow. Let's take a look... Do you want to go to the cattle and horse market and buy an ox or an old horse? ?”

Yang Lihua said with a smile and complimented the old man without leaving any trace.

"When it comes to watching cattle and horses, no one is better than you. I don't feel at ease if Zhuzhu's father or my second and third younger brothers buy them. After all, it will cost a lot of money..."

Tai Jiye was quick-witted, and immediately followed suit.

"That's right, Dad, let's go to the cattle and horse market. I remember that when I was in the city, someone said that a group of horses would come from the northwest grassland at the end of March or early April. Isn't this the right time?"

Tai Jizu, with a simple and honest mouth, also nodded repeatedly.

Sure enough, the old man's eyes lit up, and he hesitated for a while and asked, "Is the family still rich in money? Buying a cow and horse requires at least ten taels of silver, right?"

Yang Lihua hurriedly said, "Father, the family has a lot of money. Besides, she doesn't spend the 20 taels left for Zhuzhu, so let's use it to buy cattle and horses first. It's convenient for the family, and when she gives birth to a foal or a calf The child is even better.

"Maybe when Zhuzhu grows up and gets married, our family will become a herd of cows or horses. This girl Zhuzhu has made a lot of money!"

After all, she was afraid that the old man would not agree, so she patted the daughter lying on her lap, and said seductively, "Zhuzhu, grandpa is going out. I'll bring you some snacks, okay?"

The last time Tai Jiye came back from the city, he specially ordered two boxes of snacks for his niece.

It's a pity that the heartless man Mancangzi was removed from the list, and the snacks were temporarily used to sacrifice the ancestors.

Afterwards, it was even divided up by the women in the village.

Zhuzhu only got a piece of Butterfly Cake, and she shed tears on the spot...

At this moment, as soon as she heard that she was going to buy some snacks, the fat girl immediately got up again from the wilting state of a water-deficient seedling.

She strode forward with her calves, plopped to grandpa, quickly climbed onto grandpa's lap, and screamed in a childish voice.

"Grandpa is the best, and Zhuzhu loves grandpa the most! Zhuzhu wants dim sum, mung bean cakes, butterfly crisps!"

It's a pity that the fat girl doesn't have a long tail, otherwise she would have become a fan by now.

It’s all about the sweet treats!
The old man was amused by his granddaughter, and the rest of the family couldn't agree more.

Tai Jiye teased his little niece, "Zhuzhu wants Uncle Butterfly? What about Aunt Changbai Cake, do you want it?"

"Yes, yes!" The fat girl responded cheerfully, nodding her head vigorously, the little braids on her head were trying hard to be stubborn!
The whole family laughed again!
The old man hurriedly said, "Buy, buy, buy them all for my Zhuzhu! Cattle and horses are not important, but don't forget the snacks. Obediently wait for grandpa to come back!"

The fat girl hugged her grandfather's face, kissed him twice, and smiled happily!

Tai's house is not big, even a little dilapidated, but at this moment, because of the child's innocence and cuteness, it is full of laughter and warmth...

Early the next morning, after dinner, the old man took Tai Jizu and Tai Jiye and set off.

Tai Yong'an and the boys clamored to follow him to open their eyes, but the old man put on a tiger's face and didn't agree.

The cattle and horse market in Tunhewei is located between Taining County and the Weisuo. Counting the entire Wei Dynasty, this place is closest to the northwest grassland, so the horses that come back from the grassland trade should stop here first.

Of course, by choosing here, you have the best chance of buying a good horse.

Aristocratic families and wealthy households from various state capitals, even the emperor's relatives at the foot of the emperor, will travel thousands of miles to send family stewards and followers to come to select horses.

In addition to merchants who want to profit from it, hooligans who run errands and so on, the cattle and horse market can be described as a mixed bag, and it is not surprising that anything happens.

Grandpa Tai brought his honest elder son and eloquent younger son, and he thought it would be safe and smooth, but if he brought his mischievous grandchildren with him, he would have to worry about it.

When the time comes, you must always take care of your grandchildren so that they don't get into trouble. How can you choose cattle and horses!

So, Tai Yongan, Tai Yonglu, and Tai Yongyue were all dejected, and joined the "giraffe" camp, waiting for grandpa to come back.

Of course, there is a milky little "giraffe" beside them, blinking big shiny eyes, wiping saliva from time to time...

Yang Lihua was in the house, but she didn't see the children coming back, so she rushed over to have a look, and couldn't help laughing.

While coaxing, she hugged her daughter and walked back, "Don't worry, grandpa will be back soon."

Zhuzhu rubbed her mother's cheek, her little mood was very beautiful.

In the past, my mother’s face was always thin, and it felt so painful when I applied it.

Now my mother is a little fatter, soft and comfortable!

Zhuzhu needs to work harder to protect mother!
The family also wants to live a good life, eat more meat, and my mother will grow more meat!
Tai Lihua didn't know that the milk dumpling in her arms was already secretly poking at her to make her fat.

She took two pieces of floral cloth and was going to take her daughter to sew a sandbag. Afterwards, her daughter will have a friend, throw sandbags together, and pick up sheep Galaha (sheep kneecap). It must be lively!
Tai Yongan couldn't stay idle, and took his two younger brothers to the backyard to chop firewood.

Only Tai Yongyue sat quietly beside his mother and sister, practicing calligraphy on the stone slab.

Even though he used the new writing brush he bought back with great care, it was still half bald.

Liu Dongniang called her husband, carrying a basket, and wanted to go for a walk at the foot of the back mountain.

Although the snow has just melted and there is no greenery in the world, she just wants to try her luck.

If you can dig up a handful of garlic in a sunny place, you can add some fresh food to the dining table.

However, as soon as the couple opened the courtyard door, they saw Goushengerniang carrying a load of firewood, timidly raising her hands.

It was obvious that she was going to knock on the door, but she hesitated and didn't knock.

Tai Jizong was not good at dealing with women, so he turned his head back on the pretext that he didn't have a shovel, leaving Liu Dongniang to ask, "Ninth Brother and Sister, are you chopping firewood?"

Gou Sheng'er's mother was full of embarrassment, and she murmured for a long time before she said, "No, that me... Gou Sheng'er pushed Zhu Zhu down earlier, and our family really couldn't afford food compensation, so I just wanted to cut firewood to get food, no. Do you know if it will work?"

Liu Dongniang glanced at the load of firewood, they were all dried branches, and they were cut to the same length, obviously with care.

After thinking about it, she went back and called her sister-in-law over.

Yang Lihua didn't refuse, she picked up the firewood with a faint smile, exchanged some pleasantries, and the dog leftover mother left in a hurry.

Liu Dongniang is not a mean person, but thinking of the swollen bump on Zhuzhu's head for a long time, she couldn't help but said, "Sister-in-law, let her get away with it like this? A load of firewood that can be cut everywhere is worth two catties of food." ?”

Yang Lihua shook her head, and replied softly, "If something happens to Zhuzhu, I don't think it's enough for her to pay with her life. But Zhuzhu woke up because of that fall, and Gou Shenger became Zhuzhu's chance, so I can't be harsh. .

"Besides, it's only been two days since the warehouse was full, and if our family gets into a quarrel over something, even if it's justified, the clansmen will probably murmur in their hearts.

"So don't worry about it. It's just that you know what to do in the future. It's just that people like this don't have close friendships."

Liu Dongniang nodded, looking at her sister-in-law with admiration in her eyes.

If she was half as smart and calm as her elder sister-in-law, she wouldn't be bullied like this by her natal family...

Not to mention what's going on here at home, but to say that Mr. Tai took his sons to the cattle and horse market, and took a ride in a carriage with the wind on the way, and it was almost three poles in the sun.
