Da Zhuang was about to laugh on the side, wiped his tears and said: "Brother Tie Niu, what Xiao Xi means is that your father is not sick, and he doesn't have to sell cattle for silver, we won't buy this cow!"

"Huh, don't buy it?" Yu Tieniu was surprised, "But I promised to sell it to you, how bad is this!"

He is very reluctant to give up his own cow, but he has to be trustworthy, how can he not talk without words. Pinshu.com

Meng Xi scolded with a smile again: "Stupid cow!"

Li Laohan also smiled, "Tie Niu, you go back to take care of your father first." Even if you don't buy your cow, you can also help Xiaoxi do things in the future, so you should repay her. โ€

"Oh-good!" Yu Tieniu nodded, "I'll go to your house to help you train the ploughing cattle in the future, and repay your kindness." โ€

"Okay, go and buy the cow for me tomorrow, and then go to my house." โ€

Meng Xi didn't say much, turned around and walked towards his village.

Da Zhuang still led the six oxen relentlessly and followed behind.

Li Laohan stroked his beard and said to Yu Tieniu with a smile: "Silly boy, hurry up and make bone broth for your father, remember to let him bask in the sun!"

Yu Tieniu always felt as if he was being laughed at, but he didn't understand why, so he scratched his head and went back to the house.

After explaining to his father, he went to the town again, found a shop that sold meat, didn't spend a penny, and brought back a lot of bones, what kind of backbone, enough to boil a big pot of soup.

Because in those days, the people who bought meat didn't want bones, so the butcher took the bones and didn't have a trace of meat left, and then - throw them away!

Yu Tieniu's family used to be able to afford meat, so he naturally understood this, so he went to the town and got the bones back.

When the bone broth was ready, he tasted it, and it tasted quite fragrant, so he quickly served it to his father.

Even if it can't cure the disease, it's good to relieve cravings.

To be honest, Yu Tieniu really didn't believe in Meng Xi's method, but he still tried with the idea of being a dead horse as a live horse doctor, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he also wanted to cure his father.

After feeding the bone broth, Yu Tieniu carried his father to the yard again, found a place with the strongest sunshine in the leeward area, and covered him with a thick quilt.

The two of them chatted while basking in the sun, and only when Yu Laoshi felt cold did they return to the house.

Early the next morning, Yu Tieniu went to the town's cattle and horse market as agreed, and then helped Meng Xi pick five strong cattle and went to Luming Village with her.

In the next few days, Yu Tieniu will settle his father and go to Luming Village to help train the cattle, the effect is very fast, all the cattle can basically understand the shouting, and can do basic farm work.

Meng Xi was very satisfied with the results of such a speed, and pondered that he would pay Yu Tieniu the next day, but when it was time to come, he did not come.

Meng Xi was worried about whether something had happened to Yu Tieniu, but he hurriedly came again, shouting excitedly as he ran: "Miss Meng, my father is good, he has been able to stand up! Thank you so much!"

Hey?

All right?

Meng Xi was also surprised. She just believed that this method should be able to cure Yu Cheng's illness, but she didn't expect it to be cured so quickly.

Could it be that the bones of this plane work particularly well?

Meng Xi was thinking wildly, and Yu Tieniu had already run in front of her and pounced on her knees.

"Miss Meng, your great kindness and virtue are ...... to my Yu Tieniu"

Emma, don't say anything like "nothing to repay, promise by example"! I really don't have any interest in mutilating the little grass!

Meng Xi's divine mind secretly poked at the ground's brain.

Fortunately, Yu Tieniu was not as fierce as Ma Zhixing, but continued: "I will repay you as a cow and a horse in this life!"

"Ahem, Tie Niu, you don't need to be a cow or a horse, you can help me take care of the cow and the horse!"

Meng Xi stretched out his hand to help Yu Tieniu and said with a smile.

Yu Tieniu assured with a serious expression: "Miss Meng, don't worry, I will be responsible for the cattle in the family in the future." I can take care of it when I buy a horse in the future. I told my dad that I would help out at your house in the future and repay your kindness. โ€

"I don't want free labor, but you can do it if you come to work. Meng Xi didn't dare to be interested in being a landlord Zhou Papi, "You are the same as Tiezhu's salary, you are fifteen yuan a day, and you are in charge of three meals." When you're busy with farm work, I can give you a day off. โ€

Yu Tieniu's eyes immediately widened like a bull's eye, "Miss Meng, I don't want to be paid." I'm working for you to repay you for saving your life!"

Meng Xi was made to smile bitterly by his straightforwardness, "Even if I don't give you a prescription, your father will be fine, when the weather is warm in a few days and there are more dishes to eat, he will be cured naturally!"

"But you have saved my family a lot of silver, especially not to sell rhubarb!" Tie Niu really has a bull temper, and he resolutely does not look back.

Meng Xi was extremely helpless, so he had to pretend to be angry and said, "If you don't get paid, I don't need you to work for me!"

Yu Tieniu pursed his lips aggrievedly.

"Listen to me, Iron Ox, now is the time when I need manpower the most, especially those who serve the ploughing oxen. You can help me, it's the best reward for me!"

"Really?" Yu Tieniu asked in disbelief, "As long as I work for you, I can already repay your great kindness?"

"Yes! 111,000 can!" Meng Xi nodded hurriedly, for fear that this stupid boy would make something new if he slowed down.

Yu Tieniu was silent for a moment, and then said, "Okay, I'll do as you say! You are my benefactor, I should listen to you!"

Ahem, what's this line of thinking?

But it's good to be obedient, if there is something that doesn't make sense in the future, just give him a mandatory order. Save money on this many tongues.

Meng Xi happily accepted a good hand at serving the cattle, and the following days were even busier.

I found a blacksmith shop to make suitable ploughing tools, and then recruited the fifty strong men to work again.

Yu Tieniu instructed everyone one by one how to call the ploughing cattle, and soon everyone learned to do it, and the speed of work became faster.

Meng Xi's family's more than 300 acres of land were quickly turned over, and the fertile land was swarthy.

The villagers are looking at this hot eye, it is good to have ploughing cattle, and the speed of this work is several times that of them. But when they thought that renting a cow would cost ten dollars a day, everyone gritted their teeth and continued to plow the ground with pickaxes.

The silver has to be used on the blade, and then rent it when it is time to grab the solar term and spring ploughing.

As the weather gets warmer and warmer, the villagers of Luming Village are all busy.

And Meng Xi was busy all day long without touching the ground, giving soybean sprouts, directing everyone to turn the ground and make ridges, and select seeds......

When it was time for the land to turn green, her family's spring plowing preparations were basically done, and Meng Xi was finally a little free.

But when she was free, she didn't get used to it. Looking at the few greens left in the kitchen, Meng Xi had another idea.

"Spring flowers, snowflakes, let's go dig wild vegetables!"

Greeting the two little girls, the three of them took shovels and knives, carried wicker baskets, and set off in high spirits.

Li Liushi smiled and didn't speak, letting them toss away.

Stepping on the tender grass, Meng Xi actually felt a little comfortable in his heart.

It's been a few months, and it seems to be the most comfortable I've ever had today. Carefree, in a good mood, it is really charming.

Meng Xi enjoyed the brilliant spring sunshine, breathed the fresh and pollution-free air, and felt that everything in his previous life seemed to be far away like a dream.

After a long day, Meng Xi taught Chunhua and Xuehua to identify the wild vegetables that could be eaten, and finally dug back three whole baskets.

I have to say that this pure natural place is good, wild vegetables are all over the mountains, and you can't eat them by digging and digging at will.

When Li Liushi saw the three baskets of "weeds", his face was wonderful, and the words he said almost made Meng Xi faint.

"Xiaoxi, why do you dig so much grass back when you go out to play?

"Poofโ€”hahaโ€”" Spring Flower and Snow Flower both laughed.

Meng Xi was also out of breath with a smile, and finally relieved his breath, "Godmother, this is not for the cow to eat, but for us to eat!"

"Ah, our family isn't going to be poor and want to eat grass now, right?" Li Liushi wondered, "Won't these grass people be poisonous if they eat them?"

Although the poor people in Luming Village can't eat enough, no one has ever tried to eat wild vegetables, because in their opinion, only grain and vegetables can be eaten, and everything else is poisonous!

Meng Xi had already figured out this matter from the two little girls when he was in the mountain just now, so now he patiently popularized the knowledge of wild vegetables to Li Liu's family.

"Godmother, wild vegetables are not ordinary weeds, these are edible ones that I dug up! But because they don't taste as good as vegetables, the ancestors didn't plant them. โ€

Li Liushi was still skeptical, "Since the ancestor didn't tell us that we can eat it, it's better not to eat it." โ€

"Wild vegetables are all seasonal, which is why they don't turn into vegetables. However, many wild vegetables are very nutritious. Meng Xi persevered and told her.

"You see, this is called Mother-in-law, although the taste is a little bitter, but eating it can clear the fire in the body, and it can also be used as medicine to cure diseases. But it is only delicious in the spring when it is the most tender, and it will not be able to bite when it is old after a few days. This is a camelina vein, which is particularly nutritious, and it is particularly delicious to make soup dumplings!"

Meng Xi introduced Li Liu's family to the mother-in-law, camelina cabbage, small root garlic, and willow artemisia sprouts...... From the nutritional value to the way to eat, it is called a comprehensive, just like popular science.

But in the end, hearing is believing, seeing is believing, well, stuttering is believing.

Meng Xi used a table of wild vegetables to feast, successfully brainwashed Li Liu's family, and conquered the stomach of the family.

"It's delicious! It's so delicious! I never knew weeds could be so delicious!" Snowflake shouted contentedly as she threw her round belly into the kang.

It's been a whole winter, and I haven't eaten so many green dishes!

Everyone felt that the taste buds and stomach pouches of hunger for a winter were deeply satisfied.

Although Dingfengyuan brought some vegetables to Meng Xi from time to time, when I thought of its price and the limited quantity, everyone was not addicted to eating at all.

This time, I was able to eat openly, and everyone ate it.

Meng Xi held his chin and blinked his big eyes, and said with a smile: "Haha, this time you still said that this is a weed eaten by cows?"

"Even if I am a cow now, I will admit it!"

Snowflake's words made everyone laugh.

"Yo he, your house is so lively! I shouted several times outside, but no one paid attention to me!"

The sudden sound startled everyone, and they all looked at the people who appeared at the door.

When he saw the person talking at the door clearly, Meng Xi was stunned, it turned out to be Ma Zhixing!

Since he left on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, he has not heard from him at all, and Meng Xi thought that he was angry because of his refusal and would never appear again.

Although I felt a little sad in my heart, I felt that it was better to see each other again. Otherwise, she can't guarantee that she can often see the same face as Wei Heng, and she can still stay unmoved.

If he really impulsively agreed to Ma Zhixing's marriage proposal because of this, oh, it would definitely be a disaster.

It's unfair to him, disrespectful to Wei Heng, and blasphemy against himself. She wants a clean and pure relationship, and she doesn't want to play a stand-in love affair.

Now seeing Ma Zhixing's natural appearance, Meng Xi's heart quietly flooded with a trace of joy, it would be good if this friendship could be maintained purely.

After a short period of surprise, Meng Xi, whose mind had already turned a thousand times, hurriedly jumped off the kang and greeted warmly: "Brother Ma, why are you here?"

Ma Zhixing walked in with a light smile, still looking like a light breeze and a warm jade.

"I'm here to bring you something good, and I've come all the way from Ula City, and I haven't eaten anything. How are you going to thank me?"

"Ga?" Meng Xi was taken aback, "Brother Ma, you rushed over from Ula City?

The city of Ulla is far from here, and no matter how fast the carriage is, it will take three or four hours to reach it. It's just past noon, and the horse didn't set off before dawn.

"Ma Gongzi, come and sit on the kang, I'll give you Zhang Luo's food!" Li Liushi reacted very quickly, and hurriedly let Ma Zhixing go to the kang, and then asked Chunhua to go to the kitchen together.

Meng Xi saw that there was nothing wrong with him, so he sat down and talked to Ma Zhixing.

"Brother Ma, what good things have you sent again? I always accept your things, I'm embarrassed!"

Ma Zhixing glanced at her strangely, "If you feel that you really owe me, why don't you repay me with a personal promise?"

Oh my God, here we go again!

Meng Xi almost hugged his head and shed tears, this person looked like a warm and watery person, how could he speak so boldly? Shouldn't profiteers all be crooked and talking?

Who will tell her what is going on with this fake fairy in front of her?

Seeing Meng Xi's embarrassed and unhappy look, Ma Zhixing's eyes flashed with a hint of injury, but he still maintained a slight smile, and his tone pretended to be relaxed.

"Funny to you! Don't take it seriously! I don't lack maids!"

Fuck your uncle's maid!

All of your maids came here with personal promises?

Meng Xi burst into foul language in his heart, and his face squeezed out a hideous smile, "Brother Ma's joke is so funny!"

"Haha-" Ma Zhixing was really happy this time, and even the faint feeling of alienation with him was much weaker.

"You girl is likable, those boudoir daughters are much more interesting!"
