Xiaoqiao Liushui Renjia

Chapter 80

It happened that Wu's eldest brother sells mountain goods, and he knows that there are people selling cattle in the mountain. The price is naturally much cheaper than that of the mule and horse market. Just pay a fee and register in the yamen, and Ye Zhu made an appointment with his uncle. Looking at the animals, good animals need to be checked, and if they are selected well, this is enough energy.

The market price of a bull is eight taels of silver, most people will definitely not spend this eight taels of silver to buy it, that is a lot of money.

However, it is imperative for Ye Xiaoqiao's family to buy livestock now. When they have money, it is the right way to spend it where it should be spent.The family needs to go one step further, and this means of transportation needs to be improved to a higher level.

Everyone is a little excited today. After all, there have been no livestock for so many years. Seeing that the sky is getting dark and no one has returned from the official road, Ye Xiaoqiao and Li Qiu are waiting beside the stone bridge. The farmers who went to work in the fields came back slowly from the outside with their shovels on their shoulders.Seeing Ye Xiaoqiao and Li Qiu greeted them with smiles.Most of the people in the countryside are simple and honest. Although there was an incident about Aunt Ye's acknowledgment of her daughter last time, they were only angry with Aunt Ye and Ye Wanfu's family, and were dissatisfied with the family who sold the daughter. It's not about my own family, and I can't say what to do.

And Xiaoqiao and Liqiu didn't hide the fact that they wanted to buy a cow from the big guys. They couldn't hide it. Everyone should know sooner or later, and it's not a shame. For those who are jealous, most people in the village are still very simple.

So when these people asked the brothers and sisters what they were doing here, they all said it directly, and those people really laughed, and only said that Ye Zhu's family is getting better and better.In fact, with money, more people respect you.

When the sun had already set, he saw two people approaching not far from the official road, Xiao Qiao and Li Qiu hurried over, "Father, uncle!"

Uncle Wu carried Xiaoqiao to the bullock cart, laughing loudly, the baby of the sister's family is fine, look, brother-in-law will come back later, so he is worried, and even himself, who is an uncle, feels happy.

Xiaoqiao also got into the ox cart with a smile on his face, and Li Qiu was very excited, "Uncle, Dad, this is our cattle!" As for the ox cart, the buffalo he bought is a young buffalo. The buffalo is strong and hardworking. It is particularly labor-saving. Ye Xiaoqiao remembers seeing those paintings of shepherd boys in the past, most of which are riding buffaloes, which shows how practical buffaloes were in ancient times.

Ye Zhu also nodded with a smile, and went back with his uncle, because he accompanied Ye Zhu to a family in the mountain to sell cattle, and he went to the county government office as a middleman to make a document, and the weather was getting late, so Uncle Wu came back with his brother-in-law. Now that the brother-in-law and his family have their own house, life is getting better and better, and he can spend the night here.

When the animal arrived at Xiaoqiao's yard, it was naturally watched by other people, and of course they also asked how much it cost.
"It's because of my brother-in-law. It originally cost eight taels of silver, but he gave me two hundred taels cheaper. In addition, it cost another five hundred taels to go to the yamen to make a document. The total cost was eight taels or three taels of silver." This price is very cheap, Wu Shi and others are very happy, Wu Shi is busy arranging a place to live because his elder brother wants to stay overnight, and the house usually prepares a clean bed, just waiting for someone to come to visit.

And Xiaoqiao and Xiaofeng went to the kitchen to prepare meals. They all knew a few dishes that uncle liked to eat, and when they lit the fire, the kitchen became lively.

In the evening, both the wild boar and Uncle Wu were very happy. After drinking a few glasses of wine, Uncle Wu immediately blushed and spoke loudly, "Brother-in-law, I'm so happy to see your life getting better and better, the old man said In other words, it’s better to be bitter first and then sweet, and in the future, Li Xia will support the door, and Li Qiu will read the book, what else do you have to worry about?” Ye Zhu knew that he had suffered a lot of grievances for Wu before, and the elder brother said to him He was also very dissatisfied, so he drank the wine and promised his uncle that he would treat the baby girl well in the future.

"After all, you have been blessed for many years, and you have four children. I also know what you look like. You are soft-hearted and can't save face, but everything depends on the person. You have to think about yourself. Wife and children, they are Your responsibility, don't let them be bullied by others because of you, look how good you are now, you have two good sons, and two obedient and well-behaved daughters, my second child and I are envious, seeing you The days are getting more and more prosperous, we should cherish them."

"Brother, don't drink any more. My son's father is very kind to me. He is honest, but it is also a good thing to be honest. I have been unhappy over the years. He never gets angry when I lose my temper on him." Wu said.

"Okay, okay, I know the girl is extroverted, so I won't talk about him. Sister, eldest sister, is she okay now?" The eldest sister has always had a relationship with her family, so Uncle Wu can only inquire through Wu.

Mrs. Wu hurriedly said: "Brother, Eldest Sister is living a good life now, she has a grandson, and her wife is also good, I think Eldest Sister's mouth is a bit harsh, but she is actually thinking about her parents." After being a mother for so long Time, I don’t say that I fully understand my parents, but there must be a lot of knots. It’s just that the elder sister’s temperament is impossible to take the initiative to come to the door. Since the eldest sister can help my family, she must still care about family affection.

"Hey, it's also me who is useless as a younger brother, and I have wronged my eldest sister. After a while, I will take Xiao Shan to visit my eldest sister. My parents are getting old. Although they don't say anything, they still miss my eldest sister very much." Yes." Wu Shan is a scholar and also the nephew of my aunt, so he should give my aunt a lot of face by going there.

Wu Shi nodded, she also likes that her brothers and sisters can get along well.

Uncle Wu spent the night with his sister, and got up early the next day and went home. Mrs. Wu brought some yams from her family to Uncle Wu. Uncle Wu was very happy, as his family’s field is not too much. He didn't plan to grow this kind of thing, it's not easy to grow expensive things, and he didn't have the time, he couldn't spare the time to collect mountain goods, and Xiaoshan became a scholar, as the father of a scholar, he sometimes has to be particular about it .But my sister and brother-in-law gave me this rare thing, wouldn't that make me happy?

Xiaofeng is very distressed, if the yams are kept, they can be multiplied by then, it is all money, but thinking about how my uncle used to send things to my family, I feel that I am too stingy, it is my own uncle , it is right to give potatoes.

The news that Ye Zhu's family bought a cow spread quickly in the village. Ye Yong and Ye Tian also came to see it as brothers. There were envious eyes, but they were more happy. After all, their brothers are promising. Then they also feel confident, not to mention the relationship between the three of them has always been good.

Even Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Hao also congratulate Mrs. Wu. Their old Ye family said that there are so many people, but they have not had a single animal in these years. In the past, the population was large and the fields were few. It was enough to rely on people to farm the land, and it cost so much to buy livestock. The money, but also every day to feed, why so much trouble?

In fact, after the death of Ye Zhu and Ye Tian's mother, the old man also thought about buying animals, but later, the old man wanted to marry Guo, and he used the money to build five main houses. The money was not enough to buy animals. It was not as much as it is now. Later, I slowly earned it back, and my sons also got married and started businesses. When the labor force increased, no one raised the livestock.

"Second sister-in-law, you are the first of our family to buy livestock. We don't need to compare with the fifth uncle's family. He is Li Zheng, and there are several at home. Fatty Hu, that is the mother left by his father. Niu Sheng's is not a skill, and the situation is almost the same in other families, let alone Ye Wanfu's family. If it weren't for his sister, they wouldn't be able to afford it. You all earned it yourself, it's amazing! "Hao is really envious. She also knows what kind of yams her second elder brother and second sister-in-law are growing now, and they have sold them for a lot of money. She also wants to grow one in her heart, but she is still a little timid.

Wu said with a smile: "Your second brother went to the south and brought something called yam. He figured it out by himself and made some money. We agreed and kept the yam seeds. , when the time comes, you and your sister-in-law’s family will come and get it, but we only talked to a restaurant in the county, and we don’t dare to decide whether they want it from another house.” Wu thought about it and waited for them It's better to ask for it than to give it yourself first. In this way, it is your own family that takes the initiative. It is also human nature to help brothers and sisters. Besides, the yams are planted and can indeed be used as food.It's just that the sales issue, Wu's plan is not to make a round, she is also an ordinary person, and she still puts her family first in her bones, and there is no need to harm her own interests for the interests of others. They should make more money at least.

Both Hao and Liu were surprised and happy when they heard this. They wanted to talk about this when they came here, but this is the second family's business to make money. There are so many things that I still want in my heart.

"Second brother and sister, don't talk about giving it away. You didn't come for nothing with the potato seeds. We can all buy them with money. Don't refuse. We are brothers and we will settle accounts clearly. Your elder brother and I don't care about planting these potato seeds." The plan is to sell it. We ate what you sent over and felt very full, which is similar to food. We don’t have much land on hand, so it’s good to be able to plant a few cents. Even if we want to sell, we will do it ourselves. Go to the market to sell it, let’s make an agreement, when we want to sell it, the price will never be lower than what you sell.” You do it on the first day of the new year and I do it on the fifteenth, Liu knows the truth of this, and even if they If the price is lowered, the quantity is not enough, and it also offends the second child's family, and it will be difficult to get along with each other in the future. To be a human being, we must take a long-term view. They only have one son, Lichun, and they will need others in the future As a helper, Lixia is a promising person, and Liqiu is still studying, so I can't cut off this career path for such a small amount of money.

Hao Shi also hurriedly said after hearing Liu Shi's words: "Sister-in-law is right, we will definitely not ruin the business of the second sister-in-law's family, but second sister-in-law, if you want to leave the fourth brother and fourth younger siblings, they will definitely be happy." have a thought."

But Mrs. Wu is not worried at all. The fourth child is a person who is not good at farming. This kind of potato is not something that others can plant whenever they want. My man is not like before when he goes to the house and says whatever he wants. This potato There is such a great effort of his in it, and it is also something that allows the whole family to live a good life. How could he let people destroy it?And she wasn't worried at all that Huibin Building would find someone else's house to buy this cheap potato, because Xiaoqiao could tell the shopkeeper Fang how to make other potatoes, which is simply inferior to others, and shopkeeper Fang is not stupid , Knowing which one is more important, even if you have something on hand, it is useless if you can’t make something good.Thinking about it, Wu felt that her little girl was really a comprehensive thinker.

It's just that when did this girl know so many ways to make yams?Is it really from the book?Mrs. Wu shook her head, what was she wondering about? Xiaoqiao was her daughter, and everything she did was for the good of the family, so what was she thinking.Fortunately, she is still Xiaoqiao's biological mother.

If Xiaoqiao knew that Mrs. Wu had doubted her, maybe she thought she was possessed by a ghost, she would break out in a cold sweat, but she didn't know, so people who don't know are the happiest.

It is impossible to say that Mrs. Guo is not unhappy when she knows that Ye Zhu bought livestock here. Mrs. Guo said to the old man: "Look, this is the good son you said, and you used to ask him to give it to us every month. He didn’t say a word about the money for the pension, but now it’s all right, and we have the spare money to buy animals, and we still go to the fields to do coolies every day, is this your filial son?”

The old man said for a while: "The second child buys a livestock, which is also the face of our Lao Ye family. If one of our family has something to do in the future, won't he use it for us? Don't be so stupid, why do you still want to call the second child?" Return that cow?" The old man is a farmer's family, and he also has a natural love for livestock. He is also happy to know that the second child bought a cow. Although the family is separated now, he knows the second child's temperament. I'm sure I can use the cattle, so the wish of using cattle for so many years can also be realized. Do you think the old man can be unhappy?

Moreover, during these times, the old man also found that the three sons were a little dissatisfied with him now. He didn't want to be like this, but wanted to be the same as before, so he didn't answer Guo's provocation.He also warned Mrs. Guo not to go there to make any fools.

So Ye Zhu felt that Guo Shi didn't make a fuss when he knew about this matter, which is really strange, but they are not the ones who keep this matter in their hearts all the time. Have a good time.
