Chapter 37 Driving the Bullock Cart Home
37
Ke Shuisheng drove the ox cart to the entrance of Shuihe Village. He got off the cart and said to the two women on the cart with a smile, "You two sisters-in-law, I can only take you here. You have already arrived at the entrance of our village."

The two women got out of the car and said with a smile: "Brother, we are already very happy that Sanwenqian can sit here."

Another woman also said: "That's right, we used to have to go to Xiangshui Village to ride in an ox cart, and we had to watch Dasha's face, sometimes it was really suffocating."

"Big brother, is your bullock cart going to keep going?"

"There is such a plan!" Ke Shuisheng scratched his head and laughed.

"Brother, don't lie to us. We are going to the town in the future, but we will take your car?"

"Don't dare to lie to the two sister-in-laws. From now on, my ox cart will wait under the big mulberry tree at the entrance of the village."

"Okay, that's it!"

The two women happily paid the car fare and left with their bags.

Ke Shuisheng took out the money bag and counted it. Adding the money he had left, there was a total of 99 Wen.

"Xue'er, we really made money!" Ke Shuisheng seemed to be still in the fog, and shook the money bag in his hand to his daughter in disbelief.

Ke Hanxue was amused by his father's childish side: "Dad, this is just the beginning!"

"Yes, if things go on like this, we will be able to return the money for the cow to Mr. Ge in a short time."

Ke Hanxue hooked her lips, she also wanted to pay back the money owed to Ge Yunzhang as soon as possible.

"By the way, Dad!" Ke Hanxue's expression suddenly became serious: "Dad, when I go back later, if someone asks about this ox cart, you will say that you plan to use the sweet potato land to grow rice, so you bought this ox cart , if someone asks the price of the cow, you can say 15 taels."

Ke Shuisheng frowned: "Isn't this a lie?"

"Father, if you don't say that, believe it or not, in a few days, there will be a lot of people in our village with ox carts, and we won't be able to make any money, and we won't even have any money to return to Mr. Ge. Would you like Is that so?"

Ke Hanxue knew that if he didn't analyze the seriousness of the matter to his father, he would definitely answer other people's questions honestly.

Ke Shuisheng frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Of course I don't want to do this."

Ke Hanxue just smiled, jumped into the bullock cart, and said loudly: "Father, let's go home and see if Mother and Hong'er are back."

"Okay, if you don't come back, let's pick them up." Ke Shuisheng was also anxious to let his wife see the ox cart.

"Father, wait a minute, isn't that mother and Hong'er?" Ke Hanxue pointed at the large and small figures in the distance on the cart and shouted.

Ke Shuisheng looked back and said with a smile, "It's really your mother and Hong'er!"

Ke Shuisheng pulled the rope in his hand, and the bullock cart slowly turned around and drove towards Ke Zhongshi.

"Mother, Hong'er—" Ke Hanxue was standing behind Ke Shuisheng four to five hundred meters away from the two of them, holding his father's shoulder with one hand, and beckoning to his mother and younger brother with the other.

"Mother, it's Dad and Second Sister! Dad is driving the ox cart!" Hong'er ran towards the ox cart excitedly.

Ke Zhong was stunned for a long time, until her husband drove the ox cart to her side, and she came back to her senses.

Ke Zhong reached out to touch the back of the ox, and looked at Ke Shuisheng blankly: "His father, this ox cart..."

"Mother, this ox cart belongs to our family!" Ke Hanxue said with a smile, and then carried his brother into the ox cart.

"Our family?"

"Yes, mother."

Ke Hanxue told Ke Zhongshi what happened in the town, except for her sister Ke Hanchun, of course.

"Father, this ox cart belongs to our family, so can I ride an ox cart every day from now on?" Hong'er looked up at Ke Shuisheng with a small face excitedly.

Ke Shuisheng hugged his son on his lap and said with a smile, "Of course."

The family is not in a hurry to go home when they are sitting in the bullock cart. They have a tacit understanding with each other, and it is more convenient to talk here than at home.

"It turned out that Mr. Ge helped us again!" Ke Zhong suddenly realized, and continued: "Xue'er, Mr. Ge is helping us so much. When you enter the Ge family, you must remember to be filial to Aunt Ge and serve Mr. Ge well. ?"

Ke Hanxue was perfunctory and asked, "Mother, did you borrow money from your grandfather's house?"

"Yes, your grandfather gave me one tael, your uncle one tael, your second uncle three taels, and a total of five taels. I was worried that the money would not be enough to buy cattle, but I didn't expect there to be more." Ke Zhong laughed. on the road.

"Mother, did grandpa and the two uncles say when we want us to return the money to them?"

"No, both your grandfather and your uncle said it was spare money, so we don't have to return it to them in a hurry."

Ke Hanxue thought for a while and said to his parents: "Father, mother, since it's spare money, why don't we return the money to buy the cow to Mr. Ge first."

"Well, I thought so too." Ke Zhong said thoughtfully.

"Since you all think so, then I'll take the money to Ge's family later." Ke Shuisheng had unknowingly taken his daughter's words seriously, and he didn't even realize it.

The few people chatted until the sun set, and Ke Hanxue told Ke Zhong what he had said to Ke Shuisheng, and then asked Ke Shuisheng to drive the ox cart home.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, Hong'er stood up on the cart and shouted towards the yard: "Sister Qin'er, Sister Zhu'er, come out quickly and have a look, my family has a bullock cart, from now on I will have a bullock cart every day." Sit down!"

"Hong'er, be careful, don't fall." Ke Hanxue hurriedly carried her younger brother out of the car.

"Second Sister, I don't want to get out of the car yet, I want to ride a bullock cart with Sister Qin'er and Sister Zhu'er!" Hong'er was in high spirits when she was hugged out of the car by her sister, and burst into tears.

Ke Hanxue has no experience with children, let alone how to coax children. When she saw her younger brother crying, she was stunned for a moment at a loss.

In the end, it was Ke Zhong who hugged Hong'er, and coaxed softly: "Hong'er, your second sister took you down because she was worried about your fall, and besides, the cow is also hungry, so we have to go out and cut some grass and come back." Feed the cows, you and your two sisters will take the bullock cart tomorrow, okay?"

Hearing that Ke Zhongshi said that he wanted to feed the cows, Hong'er burst into tears and laughed: "Mother, I also want to go cut grass with you to feed the cows."

A child is a child, one moment he was crying earth-shatteringly, but the next second he can laugh heartily because of an interesting incident.

Ke Hanxue also laughed.

When the people in the room heard Hong'er's shout, they all came out.

When they saw the bullock cart at the door, they were all stunned.

"Brother, is this bullock cart yours?" Ke Yushi pushed Ke Jiangshi who was standing in front of him away, and walked up to touch the cow and the cart.

"Yes, I just bought it." Ke Shuisheng smiled and pulled the ox cart into the yard.

Ke Yushi wanted to ask something else, but when she saw Ke Hanxue staring at herself, she moved her lips, but she still didn't ask.
