Chapter 176: Shouldering Responsibility

The stone just bit his lip and didn't answer Jin Mo's question, in his opinion, how could the horse understand him, so he didn't apologize to it, it scared him just now, it was a big bad guy, bullying children.

"Brother, don't you want to touch the horse, if you don't apologize, the horse won't touch us." Cailian is young, and he can say whatever the adults say, but the stone is different, and he already has his own ideas.

"I don't want to apologize to it, it just caused me to fall." Stone said with a stiff neck.

"That's why we didn't want to touch it without its consent, and it wouldn't let us, so we wrestled." Cai Lian said with wide eyes, fluttering, and ignorant.

"I~~~"

"Stones, everything has a spirit, if you don't apologize to Ah Bai, it won't touch it for you, if you don't believe it, you can reach out and try it." Children sometimes get up, ten cows can't pull back, you have to be patient, analyze with them little by little, let them slowly accept, believe, they can understand.

The stone looked at Jin Mo for a long time, and suddenly heard a voice coming from behind him, turned his head to look, obediently, it turned out to be a horse from the outside, standing not far from him and looking at him, so he walked towards it, Ah Bai saw him walking towards him, took a step back, one forward, one backward, back and forth about three times, the stone pursed his lips and stopped, looked back at Jin Mo, and then looked at Ah Bai, his expression was a little tangled, but in the end, he still took the initiative to apologize to Ah Bai, "I'm sorry, I was wrong just now." ”

Ah Bai was originally a tsundere horse, and it didn't care whether the person who touched it was a child or an adult, and kicked it when he was unhappy, and then saw that the little boy apologized to himself, still holding his head high, but his eyes were no longer fierce, and he sneezed twice at the stone.

It's as if to say: Forget it, Lao Tzu has a lot, so I don't care about you.

"Auntie, what do you mean by that?" The stone stared at it with a bewildered expression, it ...... It...... Then he turned to Jin Mo for answers.

"It accepts your apology." Jin Mo approached Ah Bai and patted its horse's head, "Auntie didn't lie to you, it's very spiritual, do you believe it now?" ”

Cai Lian opened her big eyes excitedly, looking at Ah Bai curiously, the whole person of the stone was a little stupid, it ...... It turned out to be really...... That's amazing, isn't it?

"Auntie, I can ...... Is it possible to touch it? Cai Lian asked eagerly.

"Ah Bai, Cailian wants to touch you, is it okay?" Jin Mo did not directly agree to pick the lotus, but asked Ah Bai, only if it agreed, the lotus could be touched.

Ah Bai first glanced at Jin Mo, then stared at Cai Lian, shook his head decisively, just kidding, the old man is not allowed to touch it, let alone these weak human beings.

Only the owner and hostess can touch it, not anyone else.

"Why?" Cai Lian saw Ah Bai shaking his head and rejecting herself, and said unhappily.

Where did so many come from, why? No, it's no. Ah Bai didn't bother to speak again, and went straight to the ground and closed his eyes.

"Auntie, it?" Cai Lian thought that there was a golden foam out of the horse, she should be able to touch it, but she didn't expect the horse to agree, how could it be like this, bad, too bad.

"Okay, good, let's not touch Ah Bai, my aunt will take you to have a snack." Jin Mo touched Cailian's head and used snacks to divert her attention.

"Snacks? I want to eat, I want to eat. As soon as she heard that dim sum could be eaten, Cai Lian directly left Ah Bai behind, and her mind was occupied by dim sum.

Shi had already given up after apologizing to Ah Bai, and now I heard Jin Mo say that he had a little heart to eat, and the originally bad mood suddenly turned cloudy, and the dim sum of his aunt's house was delicious. "Auntie, let's have a snack."

No matter how much you touch a horse, you don't have as much temptation as a snack.

"Okay, let's go, go sit over there." Jin Mo pinched Shi's nose, led the brother and sister to sit on the chairs beside him, and then told Xiaolan to go to the kitchen to get some snacks.

After a while, the two children had several small plates at their hands, and in the plates were all kinds of small and delicate pastries.

Looking at the pastries on the plate, the brother and sister didn't know what to do for a while, they had never eaten such delicate pastries, this pastry was very expensive, if the grandparents knew, they would definitely say theirs.

"Why don't you eat it?" Jin Mo picked up the pastry, handed a piece to the brother and sister, and did not forget to greet Zhong Dashan's father-in-law, Xin Beixiao, to eat a snack.

"Auntie, isn't the dim sum expensive?" Stone asked cautiously.

"Make it home, eat it."

"Oh." Shi nodded clearly, and whispered to his sister, "Sister, eat." ”

Cai Lian listened to her brother's words, nodded, and bit one bite after another, like a little hamster, very cute.

"Stone, where's your milk?" The two little guys ran out, and it was difficult for no one at home.

"Grandma, my mother and aunt went to town, and grandpa and they went out." There was no one at home, and he usually took his sister to play at home, but today he happened to see that Uncle Dashan did not close the door, so they slipped in, wanting to touch the horse, look at the horse, who made the horse look so good.

Aunt Wang and her two daughters-in-law ran out of cakes and went directly to the place where they sold livestock.

The three of them walked around for a while and didn't like the right cow, and the cattle here were either too old or too young to do any work.

Just as they were returning disappointed, there was a sound of argument in front of them.

An old man was arguing with a person: "You go, you rush to give me away, I won't sell it to you." ”

The man was also not convinced: "What kind of person are you, what do you want to do with eight taels of silver?" Ask, who could offer a higher price than me? ”

"I told you I won't sell it to you, why are you so messing around. I'm short of money, but I just won't sell it to you. No matter how high the price is, it's useless. The old man pushed the man away, and was about to go away with his ox in hand.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law leaned forward, and when they saw the cow in the old man's hand, their eyes lit up together, and Aunt Wang immediately stepped forward: "Old man, old man, are you still selling this cow?" ”

The old man looked back at his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and said sullenly: "Sell, if you encounter a suitable one, you will sell it, and if it is not suitable, you will not sell it." ”

"Go and go, I don't know if you come first and then come, you guys go on one side." The man drove the three of them like a plague.

"I said what's the matter with you, the old man said that he wouldn't sell it to you, why do you still want to buy and sell." Aunt Wang was not easy to mess with, and went straight to the man.

"Go, go, go, I said I won't sell you, you go." The old man didn't give the man a good face again, and said several times, if he didn't sell it to him, why didn't he leave.

"Hmph, if you don't sell it, you won't sell it, see if you can sell it." The man turned around angrily and left.

"Old man, why don't you sell it to him, he is willing to pay eight taels of silver." Eight taels of silver for a cow is not cheap at all, they just asked in a circle, this kind of cow, the highest is only six taels of silver.

"Hmph, a person like him, even if he gives me eighteen taels, I won't sell it, he actually wants to put the cow's mouth on a sleeve all day long, and he will try to wear it for a day."

"My cow is sensible, he has never eaten other people's crops, nor has he had a disease, and if he is not sold, he will not be sold." The old man thought of the purpose of the man's purchase of the cow, and said unhappily.

"Old man, will you sell this cow to us? We also paid eight taels, and our family just wanted to buy a cow. "The chest is deep and can be put into the bucket, the abdomen is round and the ribs are arched, and the groping is not beckoning, it must be a good cow. She had heard her father-in-law say this.

This old man's cow has a wide and deep chest position, a wide and round belly, does not hang or sag, the ribs are open, the intercostal space is tight, the back hair of the cow is neat and bright, the hair is short and obedient, and the top is a good cow.

This method of choosing a cow, she never believed that there was such a cow, and now that she has seen it, she must not miss it, good cows are not common, and you will regret it if you miss it.

The old man squinted his eyes and thought for a while, "Who are you?" ”

"From Zhongjia Village, my husband's surname is Wang," Aunt Wang reported to the house without hesitation.

The old man pondered for a while, and said: "My cow is a little picky, does not eat the grass with dew in the morning, can feed everything else, and works very neatly, and has been with me for three years, if it is not for the family waiting for the money, I am really reluctant to sell it." When it comes to selling cattle, the old man sighed for a while, compared with cattle, it is naturally more important for the family.

Does this mean sold? "Old man, you can rest assured of this, we will definitely take good care of it, you tell me, what else needs to be paid attention to, we will write it down." Aunt Wang said sincerely.

The old man saw that they were very sincere, so he said several precautions, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took the old man's words to heart, and finally paid the old man eight taels of silver.

The ox was bought, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law spent some money to buy an ox cart, and with the ox cart, they went home much faster.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, there were many people sitting around, and when they saw the ox cart entering the village, and it was a person they were familiar with, it was lively at once.

"Yo, it's terrible, rich and noble, are you selling cattle?" A sound of surprise rose out of thin air.

The so-called stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, and this is the entrance of the village, which itself is an unavoidable place, unless they don't take this road, but if they don't take this road, they can't go home at all, which is actually expected.

"yes, I bought a cow, right?" Wang's person is relatively straight, now that he has seen it, there is nothing to hide, so he simply chatted with everyone generously.

"Not bad, not bad, good cow." They are all good crops, and the good and bad of the cattle can be distinguished, Wang's cow is indeed very good, and his heart is relatively sour, but I have to admit that this cow is good.

"It cost a lot of money. There must be six taels. "Such a good cow must be worth the price.

"Six taels, hehehe, the most important thing I like when I buy this cow is that its four hooves are round and large, the size is consistent, and the color is bright, such a cow is difficult to find, do you say I can not buy it." When Wang said this, he looked at everyone with a look of 'I have a unique vision'.

It is rare for such a good cow to be found, and she is very proud that she can buy such a good cow, and his father will be happy to see it when he comes home.

Some people stepped forward and touched the cow's body, but their hearts were sour, why was she so lucky.

has a good relationship with Zhong Dashan's daughter-in-law, and now the family has income every day, and now even the cattle are bought, and this day is really getting more and more prosperous.

As long as they have something to do with Zhong Dashan's family, these days are not as good as before, even if they are envious and jealous, they can only say a word or two behind closed doors.

"Hey, rich and noble, this cow cost a lot of money, plus this frame, there must be seven or eight taels of silver?" Seven or eight taels can make the life of the family better for more than a year, it can't be compared, it can't be compared.

"Your family is fine, life is getting smoother and smoother."

Wang listened to the gossip of the crowd and listened to them there with a smile.

Seeing this, the villagers also knew that they didn't want to reveal how much money they spent on the cattle, and they didn't have to get to the bottom of it, so they didn't have to ask about it.

Then everyone asked some other questions, and some people began to mumble home.

"Oops, it's so late, don't talk about it, don't talk about it, I have to go home and cook."

"Me too, I have to go back and cook for the housekeeper. He worked hard all day in the fields. I should be hungry~~~"

"Rich and rich, I'm free another day, go to your house and sit, and you should go back quickly."

Wang smiled and said goodbye to everyone and drove home in an ox cart. "Mother, do you see it, those few hiding in the crowd have stinky faces to death." What did they do with the cows, what does it have to do with them, they can't let the father-in-law, the father-in-law and the uncle have been working so tiredly and tiredly.

With money, it is natural to improve their lives, and cattle can greatly improve their lives.

"It doesn't matter what they do, they don't have a red eye." has hands and feet, and he is lazy and inactive, who is to blame.

"Yes, mother." The two daughters-in-law still listened to Wang's words and obediently closed their mouths.

As soon as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got home, they saw the anxious looks of their husbands and sons, "What's wrong with you father and son?" Can you still sweat on this day? ”

"You can be regarded as back, the stone and the lotus are gone." As soon as Wang Fugui saw his mother, his daughter-in-law said anxiously.

"What, Xianggong, you said that the stone and the lotus are gone, how can it be?" Ding listened to her husband's words, and her face was at a loss, weren't they still at home when they went out, how could they be gone. "Have you looked carefully?"

"I looked for it, and I asked them who usually played with them, but they didn't see anyone." Can Wang Fugui not be in a hurry, he has such a son now, that is his life.

"Boss, have you ever asked next door?" Wang is calmer than everyone else, she knows her grandchildren best, when there is no one at home, they won't run out for no reason, now that the person is gone, the biggest possibility is that they ran next door, something similar happened before, isn't it.

"Next door? I didn't ask about it. After Wang's reminder, Wang Fugui scratched his head and said.

"Mother, I'll go next door and ask." When Ding heard this, she ran towards the next door, the gate was not closed, she did not rush in, but stood at the door and shouted into the yard, "Is there anyone there?" ”

"It's coming, it's coming." Zhang Xiaohua hurried over.

"Little flower, are the stones and lotus picking there?" Ding asked anxiously when he saw Zhang Xiaohua.

"Yes, yes, all in the house. You come in. Zhang Xiaohua smiled and made way for the Ding family to enter.

Listening to Zhang Xiaohua's words, Ding was deeply relieved, he was not afraid of anything, he was afraid of being abducted, it was really called that the sky was not working, the earth was not working, and the whole family would collapse.

"I'm not going in, you can help me get them out." In the past two days, many people have come to the Zhong family, all of them are extraordinary, she is cowardly, it is better not to go in.

"Alright, I'll go and bring them out." Zhang Xiaohua thought about it and responded, the identity of the person who came from the family should be very unusual, and it would be good for fewer people to know.

"Madam, I'm here next door to pick up the stones and pick the lotus." Zhang Xiaohua walked to Jin Mo's side, looked at her and said. "Don't you look good?"

"Stone, come here, do the family know?" Jin Mo paused after hearing this, then looked at the stone and asked.

"I don't know, grandpa, they all went to the field." Stone replied honestly.

"You two, your mother is here, hurry up and follow Sister Xiaohua home, so as not to worry and worry about the family." Jin Mo pointed to the stone and spoke as if he hated iron but not steel.

No one in the family ran out like this, but it wasn't to scare the adult's half life.

In ancient times, if you encountered human traffickers, you would never have found them in your life.

Even in the modern era of advanced science and technology, once you are trafficked, the chance of being found is as small as 1 in 10,000, and you really hate abductors.

I'm afraid that the Wang family is about to mess up at this time, these two little guys, they stayed for so long, and they blamed her, they didn't ask in advance, so that as soon as the next door came back, they could be notified as soon as possible, and they would not be so passive.

"My mother is back?" The stones still feel a little foggy, and they don't seem to have stayed here for long.

"That's right, at the door, I'll let you in, your mother doesn't want to." Zhang Xiaohua said.

"Sister, grandma, they're back, let's go, we're going home." The stone stretched out his hand and took his sister to leave.

Cailian was a polite little girl, her hand was held by her brother, but she still turned around and said goodbye to Jin Mo: "Auntie, my brother and I are home, the pastries are delicious." Thanks, auntie. ”

"Cailian is really good, I'll ask Xiaohua to send you some more later, but you can't eat more." Jin Mo looked at Cailian, but his hand fell gently on his stomach, hoping that there would be a small padded jacket in his stomach.

"Thank you, auntie." thanked him, and then he was willingly led by his brother towards the gate.

"Mother."

"Auntie."

The brother and sister spoke in unison.

"You ~~ go home and clean you up." After Ding saw the two little guys, he lectured with a straight face.

"Auntie, are you angry? I'm sorry, it's the lotus picking's fault, I took my brother to my aunt's house, and they have a beautiful horse. But the horse was very bad, and he was scared of the lotus, and he didn't let the lotus be touched. Seeing that Ding's face was not good, he immediately began to be coquettish and cute, trying to escape.

"Okay, Cailian, let's go home first."

"Thank you, Little Flower." Ding led the stone and the lotus picking on the left and the right, and said to Zhang Xiaohua with a smile.

"You're welcome, sister-in-law go slowly." Zhang Xiaohua waved at them, closed the door, and returned to the flower hall.

Ding led the brother and sister back to their home soon, and all the people in the family sat quietly in the hall waiting for them.

Wang Laoshi and Wang sat on the upper seat, and the two brothers sat on one side on the left and right, each with a serious face.

As soon as the two little guys entered the door and saw such a battle, they were so frightened that they hid directly behind Ding's family, lowered their heads and said timidly: "Grandpa, grandma, dad (uncle, uncle), mother (aunt)." ”

"Eldest daughter-in-law, come and sit, you two will stand up for me." Wang Laoshi pointed to the position next to Wang Fugui and asked the Ding family to go over and sit, as for the two small ones, let them stand like this.

"Grandpa~~~" As soon as Ding left, the two small ones were completely exposed in front of everyone, the stone was taller than Cailian, Cailian looked up and peeked at Wang Laoshi, and immediately hid behind his brother Shishi.

The stone also wants to hide, but unfortunately there is no place for him to hide, and he can't hide his sister behind his sister, and his sister's small point is not enough for him to hide.

"Do you know what's wrong?" Wang Laoshi knocked on the table, looked up at the stone sternly and asked.

Stone pursed his lips and nodded. He shouldn't have been away from home with his sister for so long, causing his grandmother, parents, uncles and aunts to worry.

"What's wrong?"

"I shouldn't take my sister to play next door without saying a word, I should tell my family." Stone said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Do you know how anxious I am with your father and uncle, I asked the people in the village, no one has seen you, do you know how uncomfortable it is?" I'm not afraid of anything, I'm afraid that the traffickers will abduct people and sell them, it's really a meat bun beating a dog and there is no return.

"Grandpa, no, I know." He knew that there was no one at home, he and his sister couldn't go out, and they couldn't let anyone in, these grandparents had said it many times, and he remembered it in his heart.

"What do you know? If you really knew, you wouldn't have run next door today. When Wang Laoshi heard the anger rushing to the top of his head, he even stiffened his mouth with him.

"Master...... Grandpa, it has nothing to do with my brother, it's my fault, I pulled my brother to go to the aunt's house next door. "Wang Laoshi rarely got angry, and Cai Lian trembled with fright, but even so, he still got out from behind the stone and stood in front of his brother, waiting to be trained with a look of 'I was wrong'.

"Sister." The stone stretched out his hand to pull his sister back behind him and let her stay, but a certain little girl was stubborn at this time, and she couldn't pull it.

"Grandpa, don't blame my brother, it's me who wants to see the white horse of my aunt's house next door, and I pulled my brother there, you ...... Hit me, don't hit my brother. Cailian closed her eyes and stood there waiting to be punished.
