Chapter 111 Buying Sheep
"Come out and see what I've brought back." Uncle Guo drove the ox cart into the yard and roared out.
Baa ~ Baa ~ Baa
The sheep on Uncle Guo's car also shouted a few times when he heard the voice, and the angry Uncle Guo twitched it a few times, now he doesn't have to guess what it is, so what did he roar just now.
The three brothers and sisters of the Cui family heard the sound in the house, and ran out as soon as they slipped through the smoke and surrounded the sheep.
Although the sheep is not fat, its fur is shining, and Cui Yuankang has the courage to touch it, but the sheep has no reaction, and it still has a docile personality.
"Uncle Guo, what are you buying sheep for?" Cui Xiaoxiao asked, this sheep can't work in the field, and ordinary people won't raise it.
"Today, I happened to meet a pair of small couples who sold sheep cheaply, and I bought one when I saw that the price was quite right." Uncle Guo said with a smile.
"You bought it to eat?" Uncle Guo didn't talk about punctuality for a long time, and Cui Xiaoxiao said his guess. But this summer, it's not suitable to eat mutton, even if you want to eat mutton, you don't need to buy a sheep, right?
And if you buy a thin sheep, you can see the bones, and you can have a few catties of meat!
"yes, it's food." Uncle Guo nodded, "Don't look at it now, let's raise it for a few months, and raise it fat in winter, this sheep is enough to eat for a winter, and keep it hot for you in winter." Eating mutton in winter is a great supplement! ”
Uncle Guo saw that the Cui brothers and sisters were busy watching the sheep, and no one could care about him, so he said to himself, "Today, there is a pair of young couples in the town who sold the sheep raised at home because their father was sick." This sheep is guaranteed to be sold for thirteen or fourteen yuan a pound in winter, guess how much money I bought today? Speaking of this, Uncle Guo was full of red face, and he was obviously very satisfied with the price he bought today.
"Ten cents." Cui Xiaoxiao guessed the number, even if it is a cheap sale, it can't be too outrageous. In modern clearance processing, loss-making sales have never seen a loss of money.
Uncle Guo looked at Cui Yuankang, and Cui Yuankang said uncertainly, "Jiuwenqian? ”
Uncle Guo looked at Cui Yuanjian again, and Cui Yuanjian said a penny.
After listening to the answers of the three of them, Uncle Guo laughed.
"Uncle Guo, which of the three of us guessed correctly, did you say?" Seeing that Uncle Guo only cared about Xiaoxiao and didn't give an answer. Cui Yuankang was anxious. Shaking Uncle Guo's arm for an answer.
Uncle Guo coughed a few times, cleared his throat and said, "It's not right." ”
The Cui brothers and sisters were all surprised, and Uncle Guo meant that he bought it very cheaply. It won't be cheaper than they say, but if it gets any cheaper, it's almost half cheaper!
The three brothers and sisters of the Cui family looked at Uncle Guo together, waiting for him to give an answer.
Uncle Guo sold enough before he said. "Seven cents, how is it. It's worth it. ”
"I also tell you, this is still a ewe, a ewe with a cub, do you see?" Uncle Guo pointed to the belly of the sheep. "Look at the belly drooping, it looks like she is pregnant with a cub."
"How long have you been pregnant?" Cui Xiaoxiao looked at the belly, sagging slightly, and thought that she had eaten too much to support her.
Uncle Guo touched the sheep's hair. "It's been two months."
It's only been two months now, and Cui Xiaoxiao has calculated that there are still eight months before giving birth. "Uncle Guo, you can't eat mutton this winter, right? That's still pregnant. ”
Listening to Cui Xiaoxiao's words, Uncle Guo was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, Cui Yuanjian also laughed, and Cui Yuankang laughed directly and couldn't straighten his waist.
"Little, little sister, how many months do you think the sheep is pregnant?" Cui Yuankang asked with a painful face while holding his stomach.
Looking at their appearance, Cui Xiaoxiao knew that she had asked a stupid question, pursed her lips and stopped talking.
"Little sister, sheep are generally more than five months pregnant." Cui Yuanjian looked at Cui Xiaoxiao's appearance, stopped laughing, and explained.
Uncle Guo also said, "There is still March, and it is just right in winter, nothing is wrong, we can still get a little lamb, and we will have mutton to eat next winter." ”
"Why did you even sell the ewes with cubs?" Cui Xiaoxiao was very puzzled, and after keeping this ewe, she wouldn't worry about no lambs.
Uncle Guo sighed, "I heard that he is seriously ill, and everything that can be sold at home is almost sold." I didn't make a bargain, and the sheep cost a tael of silver. ”
Hearing this, none of the Cui brothers and sisters spoke.
Uncle Guo diverted the topic, "The little couple who sold sheep said that this will be the time when the sheep grows fat, but we have to feed this sheep a few more times, feed less each meal, and eat too much for fear of crushing the little lamb cubs." ”
Uncle Guo patted Yuankang and Yuanjian on the shoulder and asked, "Got it?" ”
The two brothers patted their chests and promised that they would be fed well, so that their mother and son or mother and daughter would be fat and strong.
He still feels dirty when he has just been touched by others, but his sister-in-law's figure is really thoughtful. Since my sister-in-law also thinks about it, I will generously satisfy her tonight.
"Is it that Cui Xinrong can't satisfy you?" After saying this, Guo Eryou threw the silver in his hand, laughed and walked away.
When Guo Eryou walked away, it took a long time for the widow to tidy up her clothes, then bent down and took off her shoes, and took out two taels of silver from the shoes.
Out of Cui Xinrong's house, the widow hid the two taels of silver in the soles of her shoes. Guo Eryou knew that she was going to find Cui Xinrong today, and she would definitely wait for her at home, and she would have no chance to hide the silver when she entered the village.
When she came back, her feet had already been broken by the silver and the shoe, and her shoes were stained with blood, so the widow put them on, turned and went into the house, and hid the silver in her menstrual belt.
The house has already been turned over by Guo Eryou, but the woman's menstrual belt is a filthy thing, and Guo Eryou will not touch it.
When the money had been hidden, the widow sat down on the ground and wept aloud, "Why is this what she is?"
"Mother, why are you crying?" Guo Hai, the son of the widow Wang, came back from outside, and asked while stretching out his hand to wipe her tears for the widow, "Did the uncle bully you?" He saw that the uncle had come, and the uncle was gone, and his mother cried.
"Your uncle didn't bully my mother." Widow Wang stretched out her hand for Guo Hai to see, "My mother fell and broke her hand, and it hurt a little, so"
"I'll see." As soon as he heard that his mother had broken his hand, Guo Hai was anxious.
Seeing the wound on the hand of the widow Wang, Guo Hai's eyes darkened, this injury was not a fall, and this injury has been for a while, but Guo Hai didn't say anything, twisted a wet handkerchief, gently wiped the blood around the wound, and was relieved to see the size of the wound clearly, "It's okay, mother, the wound is not big, and the blood has stopped." Don't touch the water for the next two days, let me do anything. Don't cook either. You know? (To be continued.) )
