Chapter 213: Stealing the Mule Cart's Mat
When Wan heard that Xiao Wan's daughter-in-law actually said that she was a countryman who couldn't sit on such a good mule cart, she was suddenly so angry that she was about to attack her as soon as her eyebrows were horizontal, and Xiao Wan hurriedly poured out the words she had just organized like beans.
"Mother, don't be angry first, I mean we don't usually go to the town, even if we go to the town, spend a copper coin to sit on Uncle Li's ox cart, and then don't walk to save a few copper plates, if I want to say that there is such a mule cart at home, it is also troublesome, not to mention the place, I have to work hard to raise this little mule, and I have to eat a lot of forage when I see it, who can take care of it."
Wan Shi listened to Xiao Wan's words, but felt that it made a lot of sense, so he nodded, "Then what do you think?" ”
Xiao Wanshi was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that his instigation had an effect, of course, he made persistent efforts to speak, "Mother, I think so, although my sister-in-law's arms and legs are serious, they can be raised for a while, and when she gets better, she doesn't have to go to the town again, so let the eldest brother send this mule to the town for the third brother to use, and the third brother usually goes home, isn't it convenient?" ”
Wan Shi didn't think about this stubble, and when he heard Xiao Wan's 'proposal', his eyes lit up, and he suddenly slapped his thigh and looked at her with a sudden understanding, "Yes, why didn't I, an old woman, think of this stubble?" We are in the village, and we don't go to the town much, and we don't need a mule cart for ten days and half a month, but the third child is different, he usually goes out to play with his classmates or comes home, and it is convenient to have a bright mule cart. You have a good idea, I'll go and talk to the boss. ”
Xiao Wanshi looked at her mother-in-law's brisk pace, and a triumphant smile suddenly rose on her lips, she couldn't help but stretch out her legs and wanted to kick the little mule, who knew that the little mule seemed to have eyes in the back, stretched out her legs and kicked back, Xiao Wanshi subconsciously dodged, but still let the little mule kick to the side.
Xiao Wan was stupid, gnawed his mouth full of dirt, and looked at the little mule who turned his head to see that she was still jumping up happily.
Xiao Wanshi: "......"
She swore the little mule was laughing at her!
Xiao Wan didn't dare to get close to the little mule, ran to the side of the mule cart, took away two cushions, and planned to take them back to the house to sit, but when he left, he was not convinced, picked up the small stone and hit the little mule.
The little mule was beaten by a pebble, so it naturally called out, and immediately provoked the stone and the hill that were in the yard to come out to check.
When the stone saw that his mother was actually beating the little mule, he was immediately very angry, "Mother, why do you want to beat the little black man." ”
The little black is the name that Shi Shi and Xiaoshan gave to the little mule just now, and they used it when they opened their mouths.
Xiao Wanshi turned his head and saw that his youngest son was talking to her in such a tone, and he was immediately angry, "What are you talking about, little rabbit cub?" Did you talk to your mother like that? Your father is here, see if I don't beat you up. ”
The stone ran away, pulled up the hill, and called out in his mouth, "If you hit the little black again, I will tell Sister Xiaoshuang, and I will say it in a while." ”
Shen Shuang was pickling plums in the kitchen, Wan Shi took a look, saw the plums in the small jar, and reached out to pick up two, "What about your father?" Where did it go? ”
"Daddy went to see the paddy fields with a hoe, milk."
As long as Shen Shuang doesn't give her trouble, she will naturally not make trouble with her, even if there is something delicious, she is willing to take it out.
Wan didn't plan to tell Shen Shuang about giving the little mule to Shen Shuisheng, she was smart now, and knew that Shen Shuang would definitely make trouble, so she planned to start with her eldest son, but she seemed to have forgotten that Shen Musheng was now also a father who listened to his daughter.
Wan Shi was thinking about things, and Shen Shuang glanced at her while holding the plum, "Milk, what are you looking for my father?" ”
Wan Shi raised his head when he heard the voice, and said with a disgusted expression, "You have to inquire about everything?" Do you have everything to do? Where did you pick this plum? That's it? ”
Before Shen Shuang could answer, the plums that had not yet been clamped in the small basket were directly taken away by Wan's, and he didn't say a word to her at all, "Don't do these here, cook early, you want to starve to death." ”
Shen Shuang: "......" she endures, she doesn't care, the old lady has a bad temper, she has a good temper, she doesn't care about her, she just has to keep smiling, it's really uncomfortable.
In fact, there were only about a dozen plums sandwiched, so Shen Shuang had to pickle them, and then began to cook rice.
Before they could light the fire, Xiaoshan and Shi ran into the kitchen, and the latter complained, "Sister Xiaoshuang, my mother was seen beating a little mule with a small stone." ”
Shen Shuang's hands trembled, "What?" ”
"I said I wanted to tell you, and my mother also said that she would beat me while my father was away."
Shen Shuang: "......" is really a bear child, but she didn't pay attention to it, "I know, you guys go out to play, just let the little mule be guarded in vain." ”
The hill on the side squeezed out two words: "Small, black." ”
Shen Shuang heard it and was a little strange, "Xiao Hei? ”
"Xiaoshan is talking about the name we gave to the little mule, which is called Little Black."
Shen Shuang sighed, and said while lighting the fire, "It's really ugly." ”
Xiaoshan and Shi were stunned, and were driven out by Shen Shuang, "Go out and play, there's nothing to do with the two of you here, go see your little sunspot." ”
When Xiaoshan and Shi heard the little black man, they knew that Shen Shuang agreed with the name they had given the little mule, and hurriedly took the reluctant little wolf cub out.
Now the little wolf cub has grown a lot taller and stronger, if it is not willing to go, make sure that no one can carry it out, at this time it does not move, just lie next to Shen Shuang.
Wan Shi carried a small basket of plums into the hall, and when he saw that his old man was smoking dry tobacco, his eyes rolled, and he wondered how to tell him about giving the old man's mule cart to the third child.
Old man Shen saw his old wife eating plums with her eyes rolling around, living together for decades, he naturally knew what she was messing with, so he put down the dry tobacco and asked in a rough voice, "Old woman, what are you doing?" ”
Wan Shi was thinking about something, and was startled when he heard the voice, and sat down with the basket heavy, "You dead old man, what are you called, do you want to scare me to death?" ”
Old man Shen frowned, too lazy to pay attention to her inexplicable reaction, but talked about Chaotian Jiao.
"Xishan is big, Chaotian pepper is estimated to be not much, today so many of us walked for a day to pick half of the back basket, when the time comes to dry and sell it is not cost-effective, I think we will go to pick peach gum in the future." There are still a few large baskets of peach gum at home, and we also sold them as soon as possible for money, so as not to sell them at a good price when we get them. ”
Wan Shi was thinking about his own affairs absentmindedly, but when he heard that his old man wanted to sell peach gum, he immediately remembered his youngest son's instructions, and hurriedly spoke, "That's not possible, didn't the third child say that he would put the peach gum in the Wangjia rice shop and sell it?" Maybe a pound can be sold for a higher price, what are you anxious about, wait for him to come back. ”
Old man Shen frowned, thinking that this was the case, but he had promised to sell peach gum to Yunlailou before, and Yunlailou didn't dislike their family's desire to raise the price, so it seemed that their old Shen family was not kind enough.
And the second son is still working as a partner in Yunlailou, which really makes him in a dilemma.
"Old woman, let's not sell the peach gum to Yunlailou, do you think that Jiang Gongzi will be embarrassed? He hadn't been back in days, and he didn't know how he was doing in town. ”
Old man Shen was a little worried about Shen Tusheng, this second son has been a little slippery since he was a child, he knows this, if he is embarrassed by the owner because of the relationship between the family, he will definitely be unhappy.
Wan Shi was not worried about Shen Tusheng at all, but said impatiently, "Who are we selling peach gum to, will it be difficult for Yunlailou to manage?" What can they know? The second child is just a little guy there, and he is not the shopkeeper, what are you afraid of, and besides, isn't Xiaoshuang on a good relationship with Miss Jiang? Even if the owner embarrasses him, wouldn't it be enough to let Xiaoshuang say a few kind words to her second uncle? ”
Old man Shen listened to this reason, so he also put his mind at ease, and then heard his old woman's words, "Old man, you also saw the little mule just now, don't you think it is in the way?" The mule cart probably has to be put in our yard. ”
Old man Shen glanced at her inexplicably, "What's in the way?" No one should steal the little mule, but it needs to be asked to build a shed for it, otherwise there will be no place to stay when it rains, and the mule cart will be pushed into the yard when it is not used, and our yard is spacious. ”
Wan Shi spoke very dissatisfied, "Hmph, what you said is light, it's just such a little mule, and you have to build a shed for it?" The boss doesn't have to work, huh? Can he have that spare time? The mule cart was so big that it was pushed into the yard to get in the way. ”
Old man Shen heard what she meant, "What do you mean?" Don't you want this mule cart? It's convenient for us to go to town in the future, isn't it? What are you talking about? ”
Wan Shi cleared his throat, and then said his intentions, "Then Miss Jiang sent the mule cart to our family just because the old family broke her hands and feet, and when she gets better, she doesn't have to run to the town again, the mule cart has no effect, and she usually has to take time to take care of it, so it's better not to." ”
Old man Shen understood, "You want to sell that little mule?" ”
Wan Shi looked at the fool's expression, "It's good to sell it for a lot of money, but I think Xiaoshuang's dead girl must hold on to the silver and refuse to make a move, it's better to give the little mule and the mule cart to the third child, you also know that usually the third child and his daughter-in-law and lotus flowers are very troublesome to come back to the village, the weather is so hot and hot, and you have to take the ox cart, our third child is delicate and expensive, where can I stand the bumps of the ox cart." ”
"So, I think the mule cart is the best fit for him, so that it will be convenient for the family to go home. Also, usually the third child also needs to socialize with his classmates, and it is also convenient to have a mule cart, the boss nests in the field every day to farm, and it is useless to ask for a mule cart. ”
The more Wan Shi thought about it, the more he felt that this method was good, and he didn't think about others at all, he only thought about his younger son, as for whether Shen Musheng, the eldest son, was willing, it was not within her consideration.
