Reborn farming life

Chapter 97 Buying a Cow
The next morning, just as Wei Shi, Lian Er, and Qi Che left the house, Aunt Liu came, followed by two strong men. Li Yu thought that these two should be part-time workers that Aunt Liu helped find. "Auntie is here? Who are these two?"

"Hehe, Sister Yu, these two are from our village. One is Liu Wen and the other is Liu Wu. They are two brothers who are good at farming. Liu Wen is the boss and Liu Wu is the second child. There are two younger brothers and a younger sister at the bottom. The family has a large population, and someone does the work in the field. Listen to me, if you want to hire someone, they will come to help. The two of them can clean up your three acres of land in a few days. After that, it will be too late to clean up their own land!"

"Hehe, that's really great, Brother Liu and Second Brother Liu, come in and sit down!"

Liu Wen is relatively simple and honest, and not very good at talking. He just shook his head with a silly smile at Li Yu's invitation, "No, no need." Liu Wu was more cheerful and able to say, "Hehe, we won't go in. Miss Li, we When will you come to work tomorrow?"

"Second Brother Liu, just call me Sister Yu. It's strange to call Miss Li. Tomorrow I will go to work at Chenshi, and I will take an hour break at noon. Then I will come to my house for lunch. I will continue to work at the end of the day, and I can go back at Shenshi. Thirty Wen a day, is that all right?"

"Well, then let's go back first, and come back tomorrow at Chenshi! Aunt Liu, let's go back first."

"Okay, then in the next few days, there will be two big brothers Lao."

"Well, you go back first, help me bring your mother a good time, and say that I will talk to her in a few days!"

"Ai!"

After sending Liu Wen and Liu Wu away, Li Yu dragged Aunt Liu into the house, "Auntie, I'm sorry to trouble you again this time, I don't even know how to thank you!"

"Stupid boy, what did you tell your aunt to say thank you? If you have time, make more delicious food for your aunt as a reward!"

"Hey, it's simple. Just tell me what you want to eat. If you know how to do it, you will do it. If you don't know how to do it, I will learn how to cook it for my aunt."

"Yo! Look at this sweet little mouth. I'm so happy to coax my aunt, so it's not hard for you. One day, I will make some special dishes to honor my aunt."

"No problem, it's on me. Auntie and Uncle Liu will bring Erya to dinner tonight. I haven't seen Erya for a long time."

"Hehe, let's forget about it today, let's talk about it after you clear up the three acres of land! Go ahead and do whatever you want, I'll talk to Mammy!"

After dinner that night, Li Yu brought out the mahjong that he hadn't played for a long time. In the past, there were always three missing one, but now with the Wei family, it just happened to be a table.It was the first time for Wei Shi and Qi Che to see mahjong, and they were very curious. After Li Yu taught them how to play, Wei Shi went into hiding. Even Qi Che stayed next to Wei Shi to help her read the cards.

Li Yu said while touching the cards, "Aunt Liu is helping to find a good person today, and I will come to work at Chenshi tomorrow, and I will go with me tomorrow. Hey! Sitong! Touched!"

"Sixty thousand! If we don't open the store for one day tomorrow, Lian Er and I will also help out."

"Yes, miss! Lian'er is very strong, she can definitely help you! Ah! Don't move, I'm going to get stuck!"

"Hey! If I knew I didn't fight that card! No need, you should go to the store. By the way, I want to buy a cow. I can use it to plow the field when I am plowing, and I can pull a cart when I am not plowing the field. Mother and Lian'er are too tired to walk to the town every day, tomorrow morning I will go to work in the fields with the Liu family brothers, and in the afternoon I will go to the livestock workshop in the town to see and buy a cow when I come back." This livestock workshop is Li Yu I found out later that it specializes in selling livestock such as cattle, horses, and sheep. If anyone has cattle, horses, and sheep to sell, they can drag them to the consignment for a fee, which is very convenient.

"Mr. has something to give us a day off tomorrow, I will go with you tomorrow!"

"Yes! Santiao! Let Che'er go with you tomorrow, we don't worry!" Wei felt that it was not good for a girl like Li Yu to keep running around like this, so she asked Qi Che to go with her.

Li Yu thought about it, and felt that studying should be a combination of work and rest, and that Qi Che couldn't be allowed to study all day, so he agreed, "Okay, then brother will go with me tomorrow, and you can relax too. I'm stupid! Haha ! Give me the money! This bastard dragon!"

"Hey! Miss, you win again! Really! Come again!"

"Hey! I'm lucky today! I'll win again!"

The mahjong game lasted until Haishi, if Granny Liu hadn't said the game was over, it might have lasted all night.The next morning, Li Yu, who was used to going to bed early and getting up early, didn't get up early this time, and was dug out by Lian Er from the bed until it was almost midnight.Just after breakfast, the Liu family brothers came to the door.Li Yu opened the door for them and asked, "Did Brother Liu have breakfast? If not, there are still some ready-made in the kitchen. I'll go get you some!"

"Sister Yu, don't be too busy. We two brothers came here when we were full. If there is nothing else, let's go to the field now!"

"Hey! Big Brother Liu, Second Brother Liu, come with me to the utility room. There are all kinds of agricultural tools there, and I don't know what to use. You can pick them!" Li Yu took the two brothers of the Liu family to the utility room. There are many farm tools left by Li Yu's father in the past. The two of them took two hoes, a rake and a shovel.

The three of them had just come out of the utility room, and Qi Che also came out of his own room. Today, Qi Che didn't wear a robe, but a pair of neat old trousers and a short shirt, and his hair was also tied up with a headband .Seeing that Qi Che had come out, Li Yu introduced the two brothers of the Liu family. Afterwards, the three of them went to the field together. He handed Li Yu a crock full of water and several bowls.

Li Yu thought that he would go to the town to buy cattle this afternoon, so he would let Granny Liu cook this lunch first, and then he would do it himself later, but Li Yu still told Granny Liu not to be tired. Just got kicked out.

When the three of them arrived at Li Yu's land, they found that Zhuangzi and his son had turned over the ground there.After the two parties said hello, Li Yu took the Liu family brothers to the three acres of land that he had reserved. When he first selected the three acres, Li Yu chose these three fields next to each other, and it was also very close to the water source.

"Sister Yu's family's a few acres of land are really good!" This was the first sentence Liu Wu said after arriving at the land.

"Hehe, yes, I think it's pretty good too! Then let's start working!" Li Yu gave an order, and the four of them started to move. Although Li Yu wanted to wield a hoe and weed like a car, but he couldn't help himself. The current small body can't wave a few times at all.So Li Yu was sent to pile the grass into a pile. The three of them worked hard all morning and only hoeed two acres of grass.

Even though Li Yu was only in charge of moving grass, she felt exhausted. Li Yu poured the water he brought into a bowl and handed it to the other three, "Okay, let's drink some water and rest, it's time to go back to eat, wait Come again!"

When she got home, Granny Liu had already prepared all the meals, including pork stewed cabbage, sauerkraut, pickled vegetables with cucumber, steamed buns and sweet potato porridge.Li Yu brought the Liu family brothers and Qi Che's meals to the main room in the East Wing and asked them to eat there.The brothers of the Liu family were stunned when they saw such a good meal. They stared at the dishes on the table in a daze for a while, and they didn't pick up chopsticks to eat until Qi Che urged them.

The brothers of the Liu family, who were full, sighed in their hearts, the food at Ms. Li's house is really good, and it's almost in time for the Chinese New Year.But after thinking about it, someone who has a house, land and a shop is naturally incomparable to others like me, so let's work hard!After eating and resting for a while, Li Yu told the two brothers of the Liu family that he was going to the town, and asked them to go there by themselves in the afternoon, and then they could go home when they were done!
The two brothers of the Liu family fully agreed. After a whole morning of contact, Li Yu could tell that the two brothers were hard-working people. Liu Wen was dull and honest, while Liu Wu was lively and talkative. So she confidently took Qi Che to the town to buy cattle.

Li Yu and Qi Che talked while walking, "Brother, what do you think of the two Liu brothers?"

Qi Che could tell that Li Yu was very satisfied with the two brothers of the Liu family. She asked herself this question just to ask her own opinion, "Well, both of them seem to be hardworking, so it shouldn't be a problem to hand over the land to them. , you can worry less in the future!"

"It seems that we are heroes who see the same thing! Hehe, I also think they are good, but they still have land in their own house, so they won't always work in our house. In the future, we will have to do it ourselves, but sweet potatoes This thing is solid, and you don’t need to look at it in the future, but the chili will take some work.”

"I really don't understand farming. I just know what you say and I'll do it." Li Yu was very moved by Qi Che's complete trust and pampering attitude, and said with a smile, "Actually, I don't know much about it, but my grandma does, but she has never grown anything I planted before, so we can only slowly grow it now."

"Well, you ghost girl only does things that no one else has done. I really don't know how your brain grows!" Qi Che said this just to sigh, but without the slightest hint of probing, and Li Yu naturally Instead of making excuses for being "different", the two chatted about some things in Qiche Academy.

After chatting and chatting, we arrived in the town. Li Yu saw a stall selling handkerchiefs. The edge of the pink-blue handkerchief was embroidered with a flower that Li Yu didn't know. If he likes it, he pays for it and buys it. Li Yu is not polite to him, and says sweetly, "Thank you, brother" and puts it in his arms.

Afterwards, the two went straight to the livestock workshop, and a young man in his 20s came out to receive him. After Li Yu explained his purpose, the young man led Li Yu and Qi Che to the backyard. After passing the lobby, Li Yu found that the backyard of the livestock workshop was real. It's so big!The entire yard is divided into blocks by walls, and each block houses different livestock, which looks very regular.

Li Yu secretly sighed that the person who designed the backyard is quite talented, but it would be even better if he could find a way to deal with the pungent smell... It's not that Li Yu is picky, but that although these livestock are separated Managed it, but the smell is mixed together, it really doesn't smell very good!
But there was no other way, so Li Yu could only take out his handkerchief and cover his nose. Turning his head, Qi Che, who was following behind him, also frowned slightly, but he didn't cover his nose with his sleeve, probably because he felt that such an action was too inappropriate. Being elegant, Li Yu thought about the newly bought handkerchief, took it out and handed it to Qi Che, "Hurry up and cover it! The smell is really unbearable!"

Seeing Li Yu's actions, the young man smiled and said, "Hehe, there's no way. Although someone cleans it every day, I can't help but have a lot of animals in the backyard. I can't get rid of this smell. Girls and wages are too much. Actually, once you get used to smelling it, it’s not too unbearable.”

Li Yu agreed with this young man's words, but neither she nor Qi Che were used to it!So obviously he couldn't adapt, so he could only hold his nose and urge him to lead the way quickly, and leave as soon as he picked a number, otherwise Li Yu didn't know if he would be fainted by the smoke!
The guy probably understood, so he hurriedly led them to the place where the cattle were kept.After arriving there, Li Yu looked at the rows of cows and thought it was really spectacular. It seemed that he had never been to so many cows before!The young man pointed to the rows of cows and said, "All the cows here are here, girl, let's pick one!"

Li Yu was fooled by these words, how could he know how to pick a bull?I just vaguely remember that there seems to be a saying "choose a piece of skin for the top, and choose a four-legged hoof for the bottom." It seems that it depends on the hoof, but even if you look at the hoof, Li Yu doesn't know how to look at it!

So he turned his head to look at Qi Che, Qi Che sighed and shook his head, expressing that he wouldn't either.Li Yu shrugged. She also knew that Qi Che probably wouldn't pick him, but it was just a routine questioning. Now it seemed that he could only pin his hopes on the young man in front of him.

"It's like this, little brother, neither of us understands it very well. We want to buy a cow that can plow the land and pull a cart! Do you have any good ones? Help us choose one!"

After hearing this, the young man said, "Okay, then I'll pick one for you, this way please!" The young man took Li Yu and Qi Che to a fence and pointed to one of Li Yu's cows, "Look at this bull. , has just grown up, tall in front, low in back, long and wide shoulder blades, raised cartilage, wide shoulders, and thick muscles. As the saying goes, "If you put your palm up in front, you can only hear the sound of the plow". "Tighten, plow quickly."

Li Yu listened to him, although he didn't know this, but it still made sense.Seeing Li Yu nodded, the young man continued, "Look at this hoof again, you two, the hoof and knee are exquisite, the hoof is big and round, shaped like a "tiger claw", the hoof disc is thick, and the hoof quality is fine; and the fur is shiny, The skin is thin, soft, and elastic, and this kind of cow is well-developed, strong and hardworking." This guy is really a real person, and then he told Li Yu and Qi Che a lot of knowledge about looking at cows, and Li Yu followed what he said. Looking at the cow in front of him, he found that according to what he said, the cow was really good.

Li Yu and Qi Che discussed it, and finally decided to buy this cow. Just after hearing what this guy said, Li Yu was very devoted, so he ignored the bad smell. Now that he was relaxed, Li Yu's sense of smell recovered, and he quickly paid the money, and took Qi Che and Niu away!

After Li Yu walked to the street, he took a breath of fresh air before he felt alive again! "Oh my god! I can't stand the smell! But it's worth it to find such a good cow! Brother! Let's go back!"

"En, good!" In this way, Li Yu walked ahead in a good mood, while Qi Che followed her slowly, leading the cow. After walking a few steps, they met Lin Yuan driving a car. Yu looked not far away and also saw Lin Yuan, who also saw her, and slowly drove the carriage to her, "Miss Li, what a coincidence!"

"Hehe, yes! Manager Lin is here to handle business?" Li Yu and Lin Yuan were talking, but their eyes glanced at the carriage behind Lin Yuan. You must know that Lin Yu was also there when Lin Yuan was there, and he really didn't go out. Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Yu's voice fell, the curtain behind Lin Yuan was raised by a vigorous hand, and then Lin Yu's beautiful face appeared. Li Yu's first feeling when seeing Lin Yu was, He lost weight.The second feeling is, why are you thin?Missing you?

Of course, this missing is not about Li Yu himself, but about Zhao Jieyu.But soon Li Yu pinched this idea away. Li Yu always felt that a man like Lin Yu would not be troubled by love, he should be ruthless.So even if Zhao Jieyu told him that Lin Yu liked him, Li Yu just regarded it as a kind of novelty between a man and a woman. He never thought that Lin Yu would really like and fall in love with him.Love is not as easy as it sounds
Even so, when Li Yu looked at Lin Yu's thin cheeks, he still whispered unconsciously, "You're thin." After saying this, Li Yu wanted to slap himself. What about opening your mouth?Whether someone is thin or not is none of your business, making it seem like you care more about the other person.But I said that sentence so quietly, no one should have heard it!Maybe!Maybe!
Li Yu prayed in her heart that no one would hear her, but apparently Li Yu's prayers were not heard by gods and Buddhas from all walks of life, everyone heard her words.When Li Yu said that, joy flashed in Lin Yu's eyes, and the corners of his mouth even curled up slightly.But Qi Che, who had a panoramic view of all this, frowned slightly.Lin Yuan pretended not to hear
Li Yu felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he lowered his head and said, "The two of you must have something to do, so let's take our leave first!" Without waiting for Lin Yu to reply, he took Qi Che and left. Lin Yu was a little happy When he saw Li Yu holding Qi Che's hand, a dark light flashed across his eyes, his whole body let out a cold air, he said "go" coldly and put down the curtain. Lin Yuan, who "enjoyed" Lin Yu's air-conditioning, shivered and hurried to the carriage to the reserved place.

Here Qi Che let Li Yu hold his hand and walked straight forward, while Li Yu was still annoyed by his embarrassing performance just now, and didn't notice Qi Che's complicated eyes looking at him.It wasn't until both of them left the city gate that Qi Che said to Li Yu, "Okay, don't walk so fast, aren't you tired?"

At this moment, Li Yu stopped and turned to look at Qi Che, who had nothing strange on his face, and heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that maybe Qi Che didn't seem to hear the sentence he asked just now. "Hehe, don't I want to go back early and find someone to help me see if this cow is as good as that person said!"

How could Qi Che not know that she was making excuses?Shaking his head in his heart, "Then there is no need to be in such a hurry, let's just walk slowly."

Li Yu nodded, and began to slow down his pace. He was still thinking about the embarrassing thing that happened just now, and Qi Che was also thinking about what happened just now. Although he didn't ask, he could probably guess that the man just now was the nanny Master Lin, the head of the Lin family, was the one who saved Sister Yu.During the brief encounter just now, Qi Che keenly felt the difference between that Young Master Lin and Sister Yu, Qi Che was too familiar with that look.
Along the way, the two had their own thoughts, and they didn't come back to their senses until they reached the door of the house.Along the way, Li Yu wondered if he cared too much about Lin Yu?In fact, there was nothing wrong with my sentence, it was just a very common sentence, I made the problem complicated, what was I hiding when I ran away in such a hurry?Thinking of this, Li Yu suddenly didn't want to think about it anymore.

What should happen will always happen, what should be experienced will always be experienced, why should I do that mediocrity?Some things happen the more you try to prevent them.It's better to let nature take its course.After Li Yu figured it out, he no longer struggled, but happily pushed open the door, then turned around and shouted at Qi Che, "Brother, quickly bring the cow in!"

After speaking, Qi Che stepped into the yard, shouting as he walked, "Grandma! We bought the cow back!" Qi Che was taken aback by Li Yu's voice, why did he look preoccupied just now? Did Li Yu suddenly feel happy?Qi Che shook his head. At this moment, he realized that he really didn't understand Li Yu at all. This kind of knowledge made Qi Che feel as if something was missing in his heart.

However, this feeling just passed away in an instant. After Qi Che raised his head, his usual smile returned to his face, but if Li Yu looked back carefully, he would find that there was a trace of disappointment in this smile.
However, Li Yu didn't notice this loss, because she was talking about her experience of picking cattle with Qi Che with Granny Liu and Tuantuan who were driven out at this time. After Qi Che led the cattle into the yard, the three of them surrounded the place. A big yellow ox circles around.

Granny Liu looked at it carefully and nodded to Li Yu, "That's right, this cow is really good! How much does it cost?"

Li Yu said while patting the back of the big ox, "15 taels!"

"Well, the price is quite reasonable! From now on, we will rely on it to pull carts on plowed land! But, where will this cow be raised?" Granny Liu's question was right on point, and everyone was stunned by this question. , Li Yu shook his head and looked left and right in a daze, but he couldn't find a place suitable for raising cattle.Li Yu suddenly felt dizzy and blamed himself for being careless. Why didn't he think of buying a cow when he designed the house?In the backyard, apart from the chicken coop, the rabbit coop, and the small piece of land used to raise sweet potato seedlings, all of them were planted with red plum trees, and there was no place to raise cattle at all.
