Chapter 60 Buying Piglets

"Oh, what's all this for?" Seeing that the slap was really going to fall on her girl, Aunt Shen became anxious, and shouted at her younger son, "Zhiwen, you are dead."

Then he turned his head and said to Shen Yunfang: "Yunfang, auntie knows that what your sister Xiu did is wrong, but the chicken has been eaten, and now she can't survive. See if this is okay, auntie will accompany you with a rooster. You add thirty eggs."

"Ma'am, I don't want it, I've already said it, I just want a cock." Shen Yunfang looked a little embarrassed.

"Oh, you wait, I'll pick it up for you right away." Aunt Shen quickly picked up the basket on the ground, and then went to the kitchen to pick up 24 baskets to make up [-], and pushed them all to Shen Yunfang, "You Let's go, your uncle doesn't know what kind of stubbornness he committed."

In this way, Shen Yunfang was kicked out of Uncle Shen's house with four chickens in one hand and thirty eggs in the other.

Before going out, Shen Yunfang remembered one more thing, so she shouted into the yard: "Ma'am, is your little piglet over the moon? Are there any left? Sell me two."

The old sow of the uncle's family gave birth to a litter of piglets a year ago, a total of eight.It's a full moon by now.

"Whether you sell it or not, no one will sell it to you." Shen Yunxiu screamed in the yard.

Shen Yunfang curled her lips, this is not up to you.

Hehe, although I lost an old hen, I gained a rooster that can step on eggs, plus thirty eggs, so it's considered a profit.

She happily ran to her house with her things.

When I got home, I untied the straw ropes from the four chicken feet, put them in the chicken coop, and went into the house with the eggs.

Light a kerosene lamp, heat up two steamed buns, and cook a pot of corn noodle porridge.

As she expected, before she finished her meal, Aunt Shen came.

"Yunfang, it's time to eat."

"Hey, auntie is here, hurry up and sit in the room." Shen Yunfang quickly pulled the last mouthful of porridge into her mouth, then stood up and let auntie Shen into the room.

Aunt Shen sat on the kang, turned her head and looked around, she hasn't been to the third child's house for almost a year, this child is really neat, the house is cleaner than when her mother was there.

"Yunfang, just now I heard you said that you want to buy piglets, right?" Aunt Shen hurriedly asked about the matter.

"Yes, I think your old sow gave birth a few years ago, and I don't know if it is still there now." Shen Yunfang sat on the kang and talked to her.There are still a few old sows in the team, but since my relatives have lambs, if I go to someone else's house to buy them, it's time for someone to tell me, so I still have to ask Aunt Shen first.

"Yes, you asked in a timely manner. If it takes two days, it will probably be gone." Aunt Shen said that you are really lucky, "You don't know why, there are not many houses in a village. Those who dare to raise pigs, last year when the state asked everyone to raise pigs, they complained a lot. As a result, this year, this litter of piglets has not yet given birth, and someone has ordered several from me. Wang Laizi’s family in our village, and Shen Everyone with big butts said they would raise one more this year, alas, I wondered what to do if the litter wasn’t divided enough, it’s all from the folks in the village, and it’s not good to sell it to anyone else.”

"Haha, people's lives are better now. Although we don't have much money in the countryside, there is food left in our hands. If there is no good food, there is no good one. This person wants to eat meat when he is full. "Shen Yunfang followed her words.

In fact, it is like this. It is not difficult to raise pigs, as long as you are willing to work hard, plant a few rows of sweet potatoes in the spring, and work harder to grow more pigweed in the summer, so it will be fattened.

"That's the reason, but we are our own family. If you want to raise pigs, even if I push others, you have to let our family come first." Aunt Shen took her hand and promised.

"That's really a thank you, auntie." Shen Yunfang appreciated it.No matter what you say, as long as there are still willing to sell.

"Thank you, we are all family." Aunt Shen's smile deepened, "Yunfang, how many do you want?"

"Two." She didn't eat much of the sweet potatoes harvested in autumn, so she must have weighed six or seven hundred catties, plus those old potatoes, and they could last until summer. At that time, her earthworm farming If it can become a climate, feed or something should be able to be connected.

"Two, that's really hard to handle, hey, why don't I push the ones from my natal village as well." Aunt Shen looked embarrassed.

"No, ma'am, if it's difficult for you, you can just give me one. It's really difficult for me to raise two by myself." Seeing that she is a bit out of touch, if you say you want to sell, just say so, why do you fix that? Come out, you have to beg her yourself.

Aunt Shen's face froze, she didn't expect the child to speak out of the routine, "No embarrassment, no embarrassment, we are real relatives, I have to satisfy you."

"Other things, ma'am, I said that buying two is also forced to buy. As far as my family is concerned, it is also forced to raise one. This is even better. I will buy one and you sell the other to your mother's village." Go, there is no need to offend anyone, we are all happy." Shen Yunfang said with a smile, but she was secretly happy, she can guarantee that her aunt's little piglet will not be sold, and she should just laugh when she meets a seller like her Is it interesting that you are still here pretending to be with her?

Aunt Shen's face changed, and then her tone slowed down, and she said to Shen Yunfang with some distress: "Hey, Yunfang, to tell you the truth, from the bottom of my heart, Aunt Shen doesn't want to sell the little piglet to my natal family. , you don’t know, that person’s poor family is almost naked, if I give him the piglets, I have to pay him on credit, tell me, is it easy for me to raise an old sow this year, just by selling a few pigs Let’s make some money, if the money doesn’t come back in the future, I’m at a loss, so when I heard you said I wanted to buy it, I wanted to sell it to you from the bottom of my heart.”

Regardless of whether what Aunt Shen said was true or not, Shen Yunfang felt that this was enough, after all, she really wanted to buy piglets.

"That's it, auntie, how do you sell the piggy?"

When Mrs. Shen heard her asking about the price, she knew there was something to be done, and she put on a big smile, "These piglets in my family are doing well, and they weighed more than 20 catties in just one month. I sell others for fifty cents a catty. , Yunfang, if you buy it, I will give you two 25s."

"It's so expensive?" Shen Yunfang didn't know whether the price was cheap or expensive, but she just habitually said it was expensive, so that it would be easy to bargain.

"It's not expensive, it's really not expensive, that's because the price is based on real relatives. If it's an outsider, then Ding is Ding Mao or Mao, as much as you call it, and I won't give it a change." Mrs. Shen Encouraging her sharp tongue, she persuaded Shen Yunfang to pay.

Shen Yunfang believed in these words, with her aunt as a person, she could only want more but not less.

"Ma'am, I didn't mean that, but I don't have that much money with me anymore."

"Then how much do you have?" Aunt Shen was a little anxious.

"It's 24." Shen Yunfang spread her hands.

One piece short!

"Okay, you can take 24 first, and you owe the one yuan first, and you can pay me back whenever you want. Madam believes in you. I will catch the pig for you in a while. You put The money is ready, but it can’t be less.” Aunt Shen slapped her thigh and became cruel, she walked out while talking, and when she finished speaking, everyone walked out of the door.

Shen Yunfang almost fell down, that's okay too.
