Chapter 121: Nothing Is More Important Than Life
121 Nothing is more important than life
Wei Gospel and Wei Fuling followed the sound to look at the center of the pool, only to see a wet head exposed on the calm water, Wei Siguo grabbed his shoes with one hand in the cheers of everyone, and swam to the shore with the other hand, Wei Gospel and Wei Fuling glanced at each other and hurriedly ran over.
Wei Siguo grabbed the grass on the shore, jumped out of the pond, stood on the shore, dripping water from head to toe, he handed the shoes in his hand to the children next to him, they took back their shoes, thanked them, turned around and left.
Wei Gospel helped Wei Siguo squeeze the water on his clothes, and said angrily: "Why do you suddenly jump in, how dangerous it is, you don't know how deep the water is."
Wei Siguo touched his nose and said, "That kid's shoes fell into the water, I just want to help him catch them."
Wei Gospel glanced at him and said: "Are you stupid or not, if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, let me stay away, whoever makes you brave and righteous, he just has no shoes to wear, and it's none of your business, do you hear it!"
Wei Siguo wrung out the water on his clothes and said with a smile, "Got it."
Wei Gospel glared at him and warned, "Nothing is more important than life. ”
After a few days of delay in his hometown, Wei Fuhai took Wei Siguo back to Wangge Village, and asked Wei Guangsheng to see his eldest grandson, Wei Guangsheng is not a person who is good at words, and there is no concept of eldest son and grandson in his mind, Wei Siguo's impression of this grandfather is so-so, he has no feelings, and he left after a hurried meal.
It's time to get down to business, early the next morning, Wei Fuhai found a middleman and led him to several surrounding villages to inquire about who had cattle.
He has been outside for nearly 20 years, but the countryside has not changed much, nothing more than that the houses of every family have been built from the original bungalows to two-story buildings, the prime of life in the village have gone out to work, and the old and weak women and children who have stayed behind usually have no expenses, and there is almost nothing to do after the busy farming.
Some old people with sharp hands and feet will raise a pig or a cow to earn some extra income, the rural pig is less, the pig eats too much, and the feed alone cannot be provided, so most people prefer to raise cattle, and the countryside lacks anything, that is, there is no shortage of grass.
Wei Fuhai went to the village to find a middleman to buy cattle with him, he was out of touch, and he was almost out of touch with the countryside over the years, he still knew a few of his peers, and he didn't know any of his juniors.
The middleman is a little old man in his fifties, named Zhao Guangming, not tall, about the same as Wei Gospel, Wei Gospel's height is considered medium among the girls, but the man is too short to grow so tall, he is hunched over, his hands are behind his back, a pair of black eyes are dripping around, and he looks like an eight-sided delicate character.
Wei Fuhai said as he walked: "Master Zhao, there are not many cattle in my hometown, and I don't know if they are willing to sell them."
Zhao Guangming said: "In the past two years, cattle are not easy to buy, and there are fewer cattle in my hometown, and I can buy a cow a month when I go out to work, who is willing to raise it, only those old men and old ladies who really can't go out, and no one wants to work, make some money by raising cattle."
Because it is necessary to inquire from door to door, there is a lot of inconvenience in cycling, the cement road under the feet can barely pass a car, the village is not far apart, as far as the eye can see, it is surrounded by a dense forest, there is no transportation, and the group has to walk.
Wei Fuhai is a person who is afraid of silence, and along the way he told the middleman about his glorious deeds outside, ignoring the unseemly directly, Zhao Guangming looked back and said enviously: "These children are your wealth."
Wei Fuhai laughed contentedly, pointed at Wei Fufu and said proudly: "The second child in my family scored 583 points in the high school entrance examination this year."
The man glanced back and said, "Yo, girl, you have saved your father a lot of money, you did well in the exam, you can go to a key high school, there is also a person in our village who should go to high school this year, and he scored more than 200 points in the exam, but his parents are worried, and they are looking for people everywhere, and they want to send their children to high school, and they say that they don't care how much money they spend, and they don't care how much they spend, and they won't want any high school with his score."
Wei Gospel covered her face with one hand, Wei Fuhai said when she saw people these days, two sentences can be related to her high school entrance examination score, she didn't take it seriously, you must know that her score is not among the best in school, barely at the upper middle level, there are people who are higher than her, she doesn't feel that she has anything to show off about scoring more than 500 points in the exam, but in Wei Fuhai's eyes, it is a great thing, which makes Wei Gospel cry and laugh, is this little thing worth showing off everywhere, I can't help but want to stop it, But Wei Fuhai really felt that this was a happy event, and he was proud in his heart.
Wei Gospel followed behind and let Wei Fuhai brag, if she had stopped it in the past, she would not interrupt when she saw that Wei Fuhai was in a high mood.
They inquired in a nearby village, who has a cow Zhao Guangming is already confident, the trouble is that they are full of sincerity, with money, people may not sell, they asked two families before, the other party felt that the cow was raised until the New Year, and then sold it when it was older, and ate a few closed doors, Wei Fuhai was a little disheartened, they went around in several nearby villages, and found nothing.
Wei Gospel and Wei Siguo were tired of walking, sat on the cement piers on both sides of the gate to rest for a while, looked up and looked around, some people's houses were built magnificently, and the four big characters of gold paint on the plaque of the gate "family happiness" all said that wealth is not leaked, and this sentence does not seem to be very useful here.
Some people's houses are dilapidated, and the roof tiles can't bear the weight, and a large piece is recessed in the middle, as if the whole house will collapse in an instant.
Wei Fuhai wiped the beads of sweat on his face and said, "The old family doesn't raise cattle now, and every family used to raise cattle."
Zhao Guangming said: "If you don't make money raising cattle, who wants to raise them."
A few people rested for a while, looked up and saw that the sun was hanging high, it was close to noon, and they had been busy all morning, I was afraid that they would return in vain, Wei Fuhai was not in a hurry at first, and felt that he couldn't buy a cow with money, so he tossed back and forth for two days, and found that he really didn't understand the market, and he couldn't help but be a little discouraged.
"Let's go." Wei Fuhai said, "It's almost noon, let's eat first." ”
As soon as they got up, they heard someone shouting from behind: "Cattle buyers, how many of you buy cows, don't leave yet."
The four of them stopped and turned back, and a gray-haired old man limped along the cement road, his voice was hoarse, the folds of his face were covered with dust, and a yellowed white towel was on his shoulder.
The old man walked quite hard more than ten meters away, as if he had walked a long march of 25,000 miles, panting, and people would probably shrink back a little when they got old, Wei Gospel looked down at her.
The man said, "I heard that you buy cows, who buys cows, come to my house and have a look." After saying that, he turned around and showed them the way.
When everyone heard this, they came to the spiritual head, they really stepped on the iron shoes and had nowhere to go, and it didn't take any effort to get them, Wei Gospel suppressed the joy in his heart and walked behind.
The group came to the old man's residence, it was a low bungalow, in disrepair, the roof tiles had fallen a large piece, and a crack in the bare wall extended from the bottom to the top, no earthquake, six strong winds could overturn the house, even if the house was not closed at night, the thief would not come to such a house.
The old man pushed open the door and let them in, Wei Gospel followed, walked into the courtyard, a total of three bungalows, the roof of the two outer rooms collapsed, revealing a thick beam, the innermost one was relatively well preserved, and a low kitchen was randomly built with plastic sheets and branches next to it, and through the kitchen, the group walked into the old man's living room.
