In the Yang family's Zhuangzi, the sixty-year-old Li Tou carried a burden to fetch water on the edge of the Whirlpool River. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the past, when the owner of Zhuangzi was still Zhao Zongchu, he was not allowed to dig a well in Zhuangzi, and no one was allowed to use the hot spring water under Zhuangzi except for the prince of the county.

Later, Yang Huairen bought Zhuangzi, and he, the new owner, didn't care about the well, thinking that this hot spring was not used up by hundreds of people in Zhuangzi anyway, so the stewards in Zhuangzi invited masters who specialize in drilling wells to drill more than a dozen wells.

But the master who drilled the well finished digging the well, but said that the water was too heavy for people and animals to drink, and if he simply came to water the ground, he could make the farmer's harvest better.

At that time, Yang Huairen thought that the hot spring water may contain a variety of trace elements, and long-term drinking may indeed be harmful to people and livestock, so according to what the well masters said, it is strictly forbidden for people in Zhuangzi to drink well water.

However, the water from these wells is mild, which is much more convenient for the farmers to wash, and it also saves a lot of firewood for washing the noodle soup.

Zhuangzi was next to the vortex river, and also dug a diversion canal, watering the ground is not worried, drinking water is not difficult, even if carrying water is not a very laborious thing, not to mention that everyone is used to carrying water to eat, and does not feel troublesome.

Lao Li Tou is the old style in the village, the owner gave him the job of taking care of the greenhouse vegetables, and also gave him a monthly start pay, his family's life has been greatly improved than before, the whole person is now very moist, and the mood is much better.

Even if he is in his sixties, he is still in the prime of life like a man in his twenties and thirties, and it is not difficult to carry water twice a day.

When he took advantage of the warm spring sun to fetch water at the river in the afternoon today, he saw a group of teenage dolls in Zhuangzi surrounding two large lumps of things by the river, not knowing what they were doing.

When he walked in to see what the two things were, he was really startled, and he hurriedly ran over with the water burden on his shoulders.

There are two big yellow cows lying on the gravel beach by the river, each of which seems to have nearly a thousand catties, and the hind legs of the two big yellow cows are broken for some reason, and they are lying on the river beach in pain and screaming.

Lao Li Tou has been a farmer since he was a child, and the old ox that cultivates the land is a labor tool that is more important than life for a farmer's family.

But if a cow's hind leg is broken, it will no longer be able to do farm work, so it can only be sent to the government to be disposed of.

Lao Li Tou was so distressed at that time, it hurt more than his broken leg, and he happened to see his grandson also in this group of dolls, and after a little thought, his heart was broken, when Hou Ye bought Zhuangzi last year, he spent hundreds of dollars to buy more than 20 big cattle, which was used to work after the beginning of spring.

These cattle owners did not raise them themselves, but found more than a dozen farmers who could serve their cattle and distributed them, saying that they would let the farmers raise them for him, and also subsidized the wages of raising cattle on a monthly basis.

Lao Litou's eldest son was a good servant of the oxen, so he took the two heads back to raise them at home, because the well water in the Zhuangzi could not drink the livestock, so he usually led the cattle to the edge of the vortex river every day to drink.

Boss Li takes care of the cow is a technical job, but drinking the cow is not a difficult thing, usually let his twelve-year-old son ride the ox to the river to drink the cow.

Lao Li Tou panicked, the more he looked at these two big yellow cows, the more they looked like the two he raised at home, could it be that his little grandson patronized and played, and let the two cows fight and break his legs, right?

In a hurry, Lao Li became angry, grabbed the little grandson, slapped him without saying a word, and scolded in his mouth, "The owner trusts our family, so he asked your father to help raise cattle, and he also pays his salary on a monthly basis.

Let you help drink a cow, you can make two cows like this, see if I don't kill your turtle grandson today! ”

As he spoke, he slapped his little grandson several times in the mouth. The little grandson was so frightened by this sudden change that before he could explain, he was fanned, with handprints on both sides of his face, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Lao Li slapped his grandson a few times, and when he saw that the corners of his mouth were bleeding, he felt distressed, but when he thought of the two big scalpers, his heart was tight, and the two lines of old tears flowed down, and he sat on the river beach in a daze.

The dolls in the Zhuangzi were also frightened, no one dared to say anything, Lao Litou's little grandson saw his grandfather crying heartbroken, and suddenly remembered that the old cattle from the family were drinking water on a river beach dozens of steps away, so he covered his face and knelt in front of his grandfather, crying and saying, "Master, this is not our big scalper." ”

"What? Not ours? ”

Lao Li's heart was a little wider, but looking at the two moaning big scalpers, he continued to be sad, he pointed to the group of children and asked, "You say, who raised this?" ”

The children all knew the importance of a cow to the villagers, and Lao Li Tou was the village chief in the village, so they were silent and did not dare to answer.

Lao Litou's grandson explained, "Master, neither of these two big scalpers is from anyone's house!" At noon this day, we came to the river to drink cattle, and when we came, we saw these two oxen with broken legs lying on the riverbank. ”

"What do you say? Isn't this the scalper on our Zhuangzi? ”

He stretched out his hand and pointed to a group of cattle drinking water not far away, and then said, "Master, I don't believe you count, there were originally twelve old cattle in our Zhuangzi, and last year the owner bought twenty-four new ones, all over there, a lot." ”

Lao Li Tou came back to his senses when he heard this, hurriedly got up and ran to the group of cattle, counted carefully three times, and found that none of the thirty-six cattle on the Zhuangzi were missing, so he breathed a sigh of relief and put his mind at ease.

When he calmed his breath, he suddenly remembered that yesterday when the big man Chen next to the owner came to Zhuangzi to pull stinky tofu, he said that opposite the Suiyuan opened by the owner in the city, there was a Khitan man who opened a restaurant to squeeze the owner, and he didn't let the Khitan beef dealer sell beef to the owner, and the owner was worried about the lack of beef available these days.

When he thought about it, he burst into tears and laughed, the owner needs beef, and now if these two big cattle are slaughtered, how can they get nearly a thousand catties of beef, won't it solve the current difficulties for the owner.

These two cows broke their legs and couldn't work, and if they wanted to slaughter and use the meat, it was not a simple matter to go to the government to prepare a case? The owner is the Hou Ye again, and this matter must be fine.

"Quick, call your father to call a few people in the Zhuangzi, let's pull these two cows up and enter the city!"
