Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 259
After eating, Xiao Shu'er looked more energetic.He insisted on taking the little goat to Aunt Niu's house to nurse.Liu Ya was worried, but she couldn't persuade her, so she said: "Then I'll go with you."

Of course Xiao Shu'er has no objection, he and Liu Ya are very close.After Liu Xu'er cleaned up the dishes, Liu Ya and Xiao Shu'er went out with the little goat.

The little goat has grown a lot these days, and its fur is black and oily, and it is also strong.Being led by the little tree is also very honest, walking obediently like a puppy, never going to the side of the road to eat green grass.

When he came to Aunt Niu's house, Xiao Shu'er shouted through the gate: "Hello, Aunt Niu, I'm bringing my Xiao Hei to nurse."

"Hey, the courtyard door is open, come in." Aunt Niu poked her head out from the kitchen, saw Liu Ya, and said enthusiastically, "Ya'er is here too? I don't see you walking around my house, why are you free today?" ?”

"Hello, Aunt Niu, I accompanied my younger brother. He had a fever during the day, and he's better now, so I'm not worried." Liu Ya also greeted Aunt Niu.She had a good impression of this Aunt Niu because she had talked with her when she was on the same road before.

"I'm washing the dishes here, you can play in the yard for a while, and Aunt Niu will give you red bean soup later." After Aunt Niu finished speaking, she continued to wash the dishes.

Xiao Shu'er is familiar with the road, leading the little goat to the backyard.

There is no vegetable field in the backyard of Aunt Niu's house, but a barn for cattle.There is a big ox and a sheepfold.There are several sheep in the pen, and two lambs, but they are all bigger than Xiao Hei in their family.

There are also two little girls who are cutting grass to feed the cows. They seem to be the daughters of Aunt Niu's family.When the two little girls saw Xiao Shu'er, they all came over with smiles, and the younger one directly came to hold Xiao Shu'er's hand, saying: "Brother Shu'er, why are you late today? My mother cooked red bean soup , I’m afraid you won’t be able to drink it.”

The other one, who was a bit older, was more reserved, but seeing the smile on his face, he was also very close to Xiao Shu'er, and came over and said, "Give me Xiao Hei, and I'll help you take him in and feed him."

"Thank you Sister Caiyan." Xiao Shu'er handed the rope to Caiyan, then turned to the younger girl and said, "Caique, where did you recite the three-character scripture I taught you yesterday? Let me listen to you. Let me tell you, my second sister is here today, and she is a teacher who can teach me. You can recite it now, and let my second sister listen to it later, and give you pointers."

The little girl named Cai Que raised her head and looked at Liu Ya who was following Xiao Shu'er, but she was a little far away and did not disturb their conversation. She smiled shyly and called out in a sweet and crisp voice: "Hello, Sister Ya'er." .”

"Well, hello. I'm not a gentleman, don't listen to Xiao Shu'er. I'm just here to play." Liu Ya glared at Xiao Shu'er, but felt that this boy was really destined for girls.

While talking, Aunt Niu came over with a tray with several bowls of red bean soup on it.Called: "Come over and drink red bean soup."

Both Caiyan and Caique want to run forward, but looking at the little tree beside them, they both want to pull the little tree.As a result, the three of them almost froze in place.

Liu Ya hurried over, took the tray from Aunt Niu, and thanked with a smile: "Thank you, Aunt Niu, I come to your house every day to feed the lamb, and we still have delicious food."

"Oh, what are you being polite about? Your little tree is really caring. He gave me a big basket of mushrooms the day before yesterday, and gave me several big yams yesterday. Although they are all things from the mountains, it is rare for a child to show such kindness. "Aunt Niu praised, walked over, and directly took a bowl of red bean soup and handed it to Xiao Shu'er.

It was only then that Liu Ya realized that Xiao Shu'er was really a caring child, and even knew how to get some mountain goods as a thank you.

Xiao Shu'er also smiled and said, "Aunt Niu is also nice. I bring the lamb to nurse every day, and she doesn't want to give her copper coins. I just want to thank Aunt Niu for her kindness."

"Listen, this kid can talk a lot." Aunt Niu said to Liu Ya: "He even taught my Caiyan and Caique to recite. I heard that the two daughters have recited it in a decent way these two days. If it is sent to the school, it will cost a lot of money. With you as a little gentleman, the money we save is more than worth the goat milk."

Aunt Niu has always been straightforward and has a good heart. Liu Ya doesn't feel bored at all when she listens to her words.

After staying at Aunt Niu's house for a while, the conversation was quite lively.Liu Ya actually thought that visiting from time to time was pretty good, no wonder those big girls and young daughters-in-law like to hang out from house to house when they have nothing to do.

The goat Xiaohei was full, Caiyan took the goat out and handed it to Xiaoshuer.Xiao Shuer said: "Thank you. I can come over early tomorrow and teach you the Three Character Classic. You have to recite it by heart, and I will teach you how to write it later."

Both Caiyan and Caique agreed, and they wanted to send Xiao Shuer out of the door.

Aunt Niu also sent it out, and asked casually: "Ya'er, your elder sister came to my house to ask about growing vegetables. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask me."

Liu Ya agreed: "Okay, thank you, Aunt Niu. My eldest sister also said that what you said is very clear, and she will remember most of it after listening to it once."

"Your family grows vegetables at the right time." Aunt Niu said again: "In fact, the time of planting vegetables in our village is about the same. Your family is so late for a month, but it is different from other people's time. When the lentils and eggplants in other people's fields are off the shelves, your vegetables will still be available and can be sold at a good price."

Aunt Niu's words reminded Liu Ya.Her eyes lit up, and she already had a plan in her heart.

On the way home, Liu Ya asked Xiao Shu, "Is there any spare land in our village?"

Xiao Shu'er said in surprise, "Second Sister, do you want to buy land? How many taels of silver is worth one mu of land?"

"It doesn't have to be bought. Can we rent someone else's land?" Liu Ya thought for a while and said, "It's not worthwhile to buy land now that we have some money. Our family doesn't have enough hands, and no one is going to plant it."

"Oh, that's true." Xiao Shu'er thought for a while and said, "Our village doesn't have much land in the first place, and a lot of land was opened up by our family on the mountain, and it's not very fertile. The real good land is big. Some of them are in the hands of the Wu family. But their land is not for sale, and they don’t know whether to lease it out. After all, they have people in their family, and they also sell vegetables.”

Liu Ya said: "Well, go back and ask around, see if their land is sold out, and how much it will cost."

"Second sister, don't you have a way to make money now, why are you still farming? Planting in spring, it takes several months to harvest, and it may not be able to sell for much money. I really don't have a better way to make money than second sister. "Xiao Shu'er was very consoling.He's a thoughtful kid who knows when it's worth analyzing and when it's not.
