Chapter 43: Selling Bears 2
Li Geng and Wu Shi went to the field first and looked for Li Ren. Wu Shi said: "Brother Ren, my brother asked me to ask you to borrow an ox cart and ask for the biggest one." ”
Li Ren glanced at his younger brother and Wu Shi and said, "What do you want your brother to do, let's go." ”
Li Ren returned to Patriarch Li's house and took out the cow. Pointing to the largest ox cart in their village, he asked, "Isn't this cart too big?" Wu Shi and Li Geng said together, "It's not big, it's not big." Li Ren had no choice but to put it on.
The old patriarch listened to the movement in the house, and came out to see Li Ren setting up an ox cart. He asked, "If you don't work in the fields, what are you going to do?" ”
Wu Shi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Grandpa Li, my brother asked Brother Ren to borrow an ox cart, and my brother said that when he came back in the evening, he would give 20 yuan, which was rented by my family." ”
The old patriarch knew who Wu Tian was, let alone give money. Even if he doesn't give money, if he borrows hard, no one dares not to borrow. That's not a person to mess with, let alone a rent of 20 yuan, which is already a lot of face for their family. He nodded and said to Li Ren, "You go quickly."
Zheng Lin also arrived at Zhang's house, and Zhang Cheng was very happy when he heard Li Xiao call him to help. Siya also said that he should hurry over and not worry about his family. Zhang Cheng heard that Li Ren would go to Li Xiao's house to help in the afternoon, and he was very depressed. That's his father-in-law's family, if he doesn't go, how will he explain to his daughter-in-law. Now it's okay, Li Xiao took the initiative to call. There is also meat to take, during this time, Li Xiao has not gone to their house to take meat, Li Xin is for her sister and nephew to eat. The Zhang family is very useful.
Zhang Cheng and Zheng Lin returned to Li's house first, and happened to meet Xiulan and her brother going out to deliver food. Zhang Cheng greeted them, and when he came to him, he asked him to hurry in to eat, saying that he had made a lot of delicious food. When Zhang Cheng entered the door, he saw Li Xiao, Wu Tian, and Wang Wensheng sitting in the door eating meat.
Zhang Cheng said: "Why did you eat here, I asked about the taste outside, so much meat, what is this for?" ”
Li Xiao said: "There is so much nonsense, hurry up and sit down and eat, don't eat too much, you have to work later." Then he said to the two people who were eating from the sea next to him, "You two are fine, you have to work later, and you are not allowed to eat so much." ”
After Li finished snaking, he sat next to him and watched the group of people eat.
After a while, Li Ren came with an ox cart and two small ones. The two children were so strict that they didn't tell him anything. Li Ren thought at first that Wu Tian was going to borrow an ox cart, but as soon as he heard that he was giving money, he knew that this matter must have nothing to do with Wu Tian. Wu Tian borrowed things, but he had never seen money.
Li Ren drove the ox and asked the stone: "Did the boss teach you this, if Wu Tian's kid borrows the cow, he can give me money." “
Wu Shi smiled. Meaning, you're right. I didn't say anything about why I was borrowing such a big car. His brother didn't say anything.
Li Ren tied the ox cart, and when he entered Li's house, he saw a large table in the door. A few plates of meat on the table. Zhang Cheng, Zheng Lin, eating. Even Li Geng and Wu Shi, who had just entered the door, were on the table to eat. Li Xiao, Wu Tian and Wang Wensheng have obviously eaten.
Li Ren said: "What does this mean, the meat eating conference? Boss, this is the first time, why don't you eat it first, and don't wait for me. With that, he went to the table.
Li Xiao said: "You all talk so much nonsense. Hurry up and eat, after eating we will go into the city. Wu Shi, Zheng Lin, Li Geng, the three of you are at home. By the way, I washed the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen yard. Remember what to say and what not to say. ”
The three nodded and said in unison, "Got it." Wu Tian looked at the three small ones, thinking that the eldest had accepted the younger brother again.
Li Xiao looked at the few people who had eaten well and said, "After you have eaten, load the things into the car." Li Ren, you go under the eaves and watch while eating. I'll tell you the rest of the way. “
Then Li Ren, Li Geng and Wu Shi respectively held the meat basin and sat under the eaves to eat.
Wu Tian pointed at Li Ren and said, "Look at your eating style, I haven't eaten it in a few lifetimes." Li Ren glanced at him, ignored him, and thought to himself that I didn't see you eating, so I guess you are not as good as me.
Wu Tian, Wang Wensheng, and Zhang Cheng carried the bear into the car. He also covered the bear with a thick layer of straw.
Li Ren watched while eating, and when he saw the bear, he almost didn't let him deduct the basin in his hand. Turning his head and asking Li Geng, "You went up the mountain and beat a bear?" “
Li Geng replied very calmly: "Little brother, it's not that we went up the mountain and beat a bear, but we went up the mountain and the boss beat a bear." Don't remember to tell anyone about this. Li Geng continued to eat after instructing.
Li Ren swallowed his saliva and said to himself, "Is the boss still human?" “
Li Geng and Wu Shi looked up at Li Ren at the same time when they heard it, which means that we agree with what you said. Then Wu Shi said: "My brother said, I can only think about this in my heart, not say it with my mouth." Then he looked at Li Xiao and continued to eat.
Li Ren was excited, and he thought about how to say what was in his heart. It's really worth fighting.
Li Xiao waited for everyone to finish eating, and then asked everyone to get on the ox cart. Those who don't know will think it's a cart of straw.
Li Xiao sat on the ox cart and saw the three people standing at the door, and praised: "Wu Shi, Li Geng, you have done a good job, I am very satisfied with this car, when you go home in the evening, everyone will go to the backyard to load a bowl of meat and go." Then he looked at Zheng Lin and said, "You ran the most today and were the most tired." In the evening you also pack a bowl of meat and go. “
The three children jumped up for joy and shouted, "It's so good." The corners of Li Xiao's mouth turned up slightly. Then he said, let's go to the entrance of the village, it is estimated that the king butcher is already waiting there.
Li Ren and Wu Tian sat in front, and Li Ren drove the ox cart. There are bears and straw in the back. Li Xiao, Zhang Cheng, and Wang Wensheng sat on both sides. Li Xiao said: "No one is allowed to say anything about this bear, and if there is a problem when you enter the city, it will be said that we beat it." “
Li Xiao took down the bow on his body and handed it to Zhang Cheng and said, "Brother-in-law, you carry this bow on your back, you can't be more than three steps away from me, if something happens, give me the bow immediately." Then carry the quiver on your back. took out a dagger from his satchel and said to Wu Tian: "Wu Tian, put this dagger for you, if we go home safely, you remember to return me." “
Wu Tian smiled: "Boss, you are too timid, let's go to the city." I'll be back in the afternoon. These are not needed. “
Li Xiao said: "I also hope that it is too much, but when it comes to timidity, this word doesn't seem to suit me." After saying that, he obviously glanced at the straw behind the car.
Wu Tian didn't react, and glanced back at Li Xiao's eyes. Everyone else also followed their gaze and glanced at the straw, and even Li Ren, who was driving the car, listened to their conversation and glanced back. Wu Tian immediately understood that he had just said that the person who killed a bear was cowardly. Wu Tian fakely waved his hand and gave himself a mouthful, and said, "Look at my stinky mouth."
Everyone immediately burst into laughter when they saw it, and the corners of Li Xiao's mouth curved upwards and they also laughed. When everyone laughed and arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw that the butcher had already looked over there.
