Although the poems in this are not very good, but after all, it is also the author's intention, Su Jinyao pondered that it could be a negative teaching material or something, pick out the inappropriate sentences in it, and let Xiaocheng'er correct the mistakes in the future.

Su Jinyao had just put away the three books, and the middle-aged man who had come to ask for cooking utensils came back. Probably he heard what Su Jinyao said to the woman just now, so he also asked, "Little girl, can you really exchange things for your cooking utensils?" ”

"yes." Su Jinyao nodded and said, "Just now, that sister-in-law exchanged her book for two curtain cloths for me. But not everything can be changed, at least what I like, so we can discuss. ”

The middle-aged man said, "That's that, I know." But little girl, do you want a living creature? I have a little goat at home and I want to trade with you. ”

Su Jinyao was surprised for a moment, and asked again: "Goat?" Lamb? "This is very strange, Su Jinyao didn't think that there would be people who exchanged livestock for things. Then he asked, "How big is a lamb?" I haven't raised it, so I don't know if I can feed it. ”

The middle-aged man scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed or embarrassed, and said, "My family used to have a female goat, and she was quite old, and she didn't plan to let her give birth to another lamb." Later, I didn't know how to run out, but when I came back, I was pregnant. It wasn't that she gave birth to a lamb last month, but she died suddenly a few days ago. The little lamb will be only full moon, and will only be able to eat a little grass. My family wants to marry a daughter-in-law, and I don't have time to spend all day long, although this lamb is starving to death, it's a pity, so I wonder if I can change it with you. ”

After speaking, the middle-aged man turned around and pointed to a courtyard not far away and said, "That door is my house, why don't you go and have a look." If you can match, the lamb will be yours, and the cooking utensils will be mine. If we don't match, my family really won't be able to come up with 170 yuan. ”

Su Jinyao thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take a look." ”

After speaking, he put his things on the small cart and followed the middle-aged man to his house.

As soon as I came to the gate of the courtyard, I saw a middle-aged woman walking out of it. It must be the hostess of this house. As soon as he saw Su Jinyao coming, he said, "Little girl, you're here." It's here to see the lambs, and it's in the sheepfold over there, come with me. ”

Su Jinyao put the small cart at the door and followed the woman into the courtyard.

The woman said as she walked, "Just now you were selling something over there, and I heard the commotion here." But the rice is cooking on the stove, and I can't get out. Didn't my man ask him to come back and see it? Your set of cooking utensils, he said it was good, and I thought of trading it for the lamb. You know, a lamb sold in the bazaar, although it is bigger than my one, will cost at least 300 yuan. If you are willing to change, it is very cost-effective. ”

Su Jinyao listened, looked up at the woman, and said seriously: "Auntie, although I have never raised sheep, I know that lambs also need to be milked. Uncle just said that the lamb was only laid last month, and it will only be about a month when it is full. Even if you can eat some young grass, it is not easy for lambs to feed when they are weaned in less than three months. If I really change it, I have to buy goat's milk to feed it when I bring it back, and when I get weaned, I will have to pay 300 yuan. I didn't take advantage of it, I had to put on a good set of cooking utensils for nothing. ”

Su Jinyao is a businessman, not a welfare. Although Su Jinyao disdains to be clever and trick people, if someone deliberately plays shrewdly and wants to take advantage of her, she will not pretend to be stupid and let people deceive. So you still have to make it clear, don't think that she is easy to coax and deliberately take advantage of her.

From this point of view, the middle-aged man just now seems to be sincere. After all, when he talked to Su Jinyao, he seemed more embarrassed, and he was worried that Su Jinyao would not change.

But when I got to the hostess of the house, I felt as if I had picked up a big bargain.

Hearing Su Jinyao say this, the woman in this family laughed dryly twice and stopped talking. just led Su Jinyao to the front of the sheepfold, pointed inside, and said, "That's it." Although it looks a little dirty, its body is quite strong. The old ewe also died a few days ago, and she had been eating goat's milk before, and the old ewe had given birth to several lambs, and she would bring lambs, so she grew very good. ”

Su Jinyao heard her say this, but she didn't believe it all. And he looked into the sheepfold.

The sheepfold is covered quite low, the light inside is very bad, and the cleaning is not clean, or the women in this family are lazy, and they have not cleaned much at all. So when you get closer, there is a big smell of smell and sheep dung.

Su Jinyao frowned, and she didn't want to change it much in her heart. This condition alone makes me feel sick in my heart.

But when Su Jinyao just approached, a cry of "bleating" sounded in the sheepfold. The cry of the lamb was more like calling "mother", and immediately a small black goat ran towards Su Jinyao, and a pair of black and bright eyes looked at Su Jinyao, as if there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

Su Jinyao was stunned for a moment, and didn't come back to her senses for a long time. She knew that animals were spiritual, but she had never seen a little lamb shed tears when she saw a man.

If you look closely, this little lamb is really dirty, with black hair and dirt sticking to each other, and there are several sheep dung balls on its hind legs. I don't know how long a pair of hooves have been stepping on sheep dung, and the dirty four legs are almost no longer hairy.

In such an environment, the little lamb must have suffered a lot. Without the feed of the old ewe, I don't know how long this little lamb will live.

Su Jinyao was soft-hearted for a while, and she felt very sorry for this little lamb. But let her change back, how should she raise her?

Su Jinyao thought for a while, then turned around and asked the woman, "How have you fed the lambs these days?" Also, this lamb is so dirty, there is nothing wrong with it. ”

The woman pouted and said, "I also asked for goat's milk at the neighbor's house to feed it, and I gave it some rice soup and sugar water every day." If you can eat the tender grass, you will eat the tender grass. It's dirty, but it's fine. Little girl, do you want to change it? If you don't change it, forget about it. Two days later, my family will have a happy event, and this lamb will add a dish. ”

"You're going to slaughter it?" Su Jinyao was really surprised this time. This lamb is so small, how much meat can it have? Suckling sheep? Isn't that too cruel?

The woman said, "What else should I do?" This sheepfold is dirty and smelly, and the family has a happy event to marry a daughter-in-law, so how can they have the time to feed the sheep. Although it is a pity to slaughter it, it is a hundred times to go down with a knife, and it is also worry-free. ”

Hearing the woman say that she was really going to slaughter this lamb, Su Jinyao had no doubt that she was not telling lies to herself for the sake of bargaining.

After thinking about it, Su Jinyao said, "Can you bring the sheep out and take a look?" I can't see clearly in the sheepfold like this. ”

The woman's face sank, she looked dirty, and she probably thought Su Jinyao was troublesome. It was probably because of the good set of cooking utensils that he didn't have an immediate attack. Instead, he called the middle-aged man over and said, "Lead the sheep out and show her." ”

The middle-aged man was still very honest, agreed, and opened the sheepfold.

The sheepfold was opened, and the little black lamb ran out. A pair of dark eyes looked more watery in the sun. And as soon as she came out, she ran around Su Jinyao, and kept screaming "bleating".

It's just that this little lamb seems to really have spirituality, although it has been surrounding Su Jinyao, it has not been too close, and it has no intention of pounced on Su Jinyao with its dirty hooves, but slowly circled around Su Jinyao, looking at Su Jinyao with his eyes while screaming, and the tears in the corners of his eyes were also shining.

Su Jinyao's heart choked, feeling that things have spirituality, and this little lamb can probably also feel the evil heart of this family.

Su Jinyao couldn't help but bend down and stretched out her hand towards the little lamb. The little lamb immediately came over and rubbed his head into Su Jinyao's palm.

But in the hand, it was not soft lamb's wool, but some sticky dirt and wool stuck together. Su Jinyao felt even more uncomfortable.

But at this moment, the woman raised her voice and said, "Little girl, do you want to change it?" I've seen it, I've touched it, what are you hesitating about? ”

Su Jinyao stood up straight, looked at the little lamb and then at the dirty sheepfold, and said, "It's okay to change, but I have two conditions." ”

"If you change it, you can change it, if you don't change it, forget it, what conditions are there to mention." The woman pursed her lips, but asked, "Tell me about it." However, there is really no money, and our family will not give you any more copper plates. ”

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "I know this, I don't want you to add more money." I just want you to get some more goat's milk, so that I can bring this lamb back to me. My home is in Pingshan Village, and I have to walk a long mountain road to go back, and I am hungry all the way, but I am afraid that I will not be able to hold it when I get home. Then you get some warm water here and brush this lamb a little, otherwise it's so dirty, how can I take it with me. ”

Hearing Su Jinyao's original request, although the woman still seemed a little reluctant, the middle-aged man agreed with his mouth. Then he said: "Mother-in-law, you boil some warm water, wash and scrub this lamb, and I will go next door to ask for two bowls of goat's milk." ”

The woman hurriedly stopped the middle-aged man again and said, "Alas, don't go and ask for goat's milk back, it's weird to occupy a bowl." Wash the sheep first, and then you take the sheep next door and go straight to the milk. Talk to his family, this sheep will give away this milk when it is full, and it will not bother their family in the future. I'll give him two catties of soybeans when I go back. ”

After listening to the woman, the middle-aged man turned around and came back. Seeing that Su Jinyao was still looking at the little lamb, she said, "Little girl, you stand on the side, don't get dirty on your body." I washed the sheep's hooves and hind legs with lukewarm water, and the body was not washed. Otherwise, if it catches a cold, it will easily get sick. Do you think it's okay? ”

Su Jinyao also knew that the lamb was still young and couldn't withstand the toss, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I know." It's just that the sheep dung is too dirty, help it clean up, and it will feel more comfortable. ”

The woman listened to Su Jinyao's words, pursed her mouth, "hummed" and turned to leave.

The middle-aged man was a little embarrassed, but after all, he was still a real person, and said to Su Jinyao: "Little girl, don't care, my mother-in-law is not aiming at you." She's also busy these days. In fact, this lamb is also very good, there is really nothing wrong with it. I am a real man, and I will not give you a sick lamb if it does not feed. You take it home and raise it until weaning, and you can eat grass by yourself when you release it, and it won't be a hassle. ”

Su Jinyao listened to these words, nodded and said, "Okay, I know." ”

The middle-aged man is very sharp, and he can see that he is usually a good hand at work. Soon a basin of warm water was brought from the kitchen, and a bristle brush was found, and the little lamb was dipped in water to clean the wool on his body and the sheep manure on his legs.

But this lamb is really too dirty, and a basin of water can only be brushed for a rough idea. The middle-aged man had to change another basin of water, and this time he cleaned up the little black lamb.

However, there is not as much sheep manure and smell as before. The wool on the lamb is still dirty, and it is still wisps, and it doesn't look very shiny.

The middle-aged man found another rag, dipped it in water and wrung it out, and wiped the hair on the little lamb's head and body again with a damp cloth. It looks much more pleasing to the eye in this way.

The little lamb had been standing there very obediently waiting to be cleaned up, and there was only an occasional "bleating" cry, and there was no struggle to run or jump. This made Su Jinyao like this little lamb even more.

When it was completely cleaned up, the middle-aged man himself smiled. Pointing to the little lamb, he asked Su Jinyao: "Little girl, take a look for yourself, is this lamb much more pleasing to the eye?" I'm a little reluctant to change it. ”

Su Jinyao smiled and didn't reply. Now that she thinks that this little lamb is her own, this man can't say that he can't change it.

The middle-aged man was ready to take the lamb to the next house to feed, and asked Su Jinyao to wait for a while. Su Jinyao agreed, followed out the door, came to the front of the small cart, moved the set of cooking utensils that the family wanted, and sent them to the yard.

As soon as Su Jinyao put down her things, the woman from this family came over and picked them up and looked at them carefully. But from the look in her eyes, it can be seen that she is very satisfied, and feels that she has picked up a big bargain.

Su Jinyao has never been willing to deal with this kind of greedy person. It's just that because of business, the price is right, and the deal is made, so I didn't speak.

The woman looked at this set of cooking utensils, looked at Su Jinyao's small cart, and then asked, "Little girl, I heard you say that there are curtains to be sold?" I'll see what kind of color it is. Wouldn't it look nice to put a set in my son's new house? ”

Since there is a business, Su Jinyao said: "Yes, there is only one color, but it looks quite rich." Come and see. ”

The Ping'an restaurant in the town, although it is not a big restaurant, must be a little better decorated than the farmer's house in this ravine. So the color of the curtain showed the woman to her, and she immediately fell in love. It's just that after asking Su Jinyao about the price, he was still hesitating.

Su Jinyao didn't urge, anyway, she sold a lot of things today, and she was also exchanged for a sensible and cute little goat, she was content. I don't care if I make this extra money.

But the woman said, "Little girl, can you make me cheaper again?" Why don't you see what you like in my house, and I'll change it with you? ”

Su Jinyao shook her head, she didn't have the heart to look more. If the sheepfold is so dirty that it is not cleaned, the woman of this family must be a lazy woman. It is estimated that Su Jinyao will not look at her family's things.

Seeing that Su Jinyao disagreed, the woman seemed unwilling. After thinking about it, he said, "I still have a baby, can I change two curtains for you?" ”

Su Jinyao was stunned, and laughed in her heart. The dirty little lamb had changed such a good set of cooking utensils, and the woman said as if she had taken advantage of it, and now she would exchange her baby for two curtains worth thirty-five yuan?

Seeing that Su Jinyao didn't talk, the woman said, "Wait, I'll go back to the house and bring it to you." You will know when you see it, it is indeed a treasure. It's just a pity......"

At this point, the woman swallowed back the last words.

Su Jinyao was curious, what kind of baby was she said "pity"? However, Su Jinyao was a little more curious, but she didn't have any expectations.

After a while, the woman came back with a red silk bag. Looking at it like that, it's so tightly wrapped that I really can't tell what's inside. But it's not big, and it's not as big as a palm when wrapped in several layers. If you really say that there is a baby in it, it is estimated that the size is ...... Jade pendant?

Does Jade Pei change curtains? Su Jinyao didn't think this woman was a fool, definitely not.

However, unexpectedly, the woman opened the red silk packet layer by layer, and a piece of jade was really revealed inside, and it was a piece of white jade.

Su Jinyao was really curious, so she leaned over to take a look. And I saw that what the woman was holding in her hand was indeed a piece of white jade, and the jade was warm and moist, as white as clotted fat, and it was a fine piece of mutton fat white jade.

It's just that this piece of mutton fat jade is not a jade pendant, nor a pendant, but a truncated hosta. It should be a white hosta that is broken, and only the hairpin head part remains. Only a little more than an inch, the thickness of the little finger, the fracture is neat, but if you look closely, there are a few cracks.

The woman said: "This is a treasure of my family, but unfortunately the hairpin was broken in the early years, so it was left with such a small section." I asked the jade master, and he said that he couldn't repair it. Even if it's barely repaired, it will cost a lot of money. It's not enough to build something else. This jade can't be broken, and it can't be made into other objects. ”

Su Jinyao asked, "Then can I take it and take a look?" ”

The woman nodded and handed the small hairpin to Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao didn't reach out to take it, pointed to the chair on the side, and said, "You put it on it, I'll take it myself." ”

The reason why Su Jinyao didn't use her hands to take it directly was because she was afraid that this woman would have some bad intentions and make a porcelain touch to wronged herself. Let her put her things on the chair and pick them up carefully by herself, so that she will not fall on the floor.
