Chapter Seventy-Six: I Want to Buy Cows
After eating the turtle jelly, Li enthusiastically filled Xiao Yunnuo with a lot of meatloaf, Xiao Yunnuo thanked him and left with Tongxin, the sky gradually darkened, several people were busy putting away the stall, and Yao Jingxun was also driven back to the academy by Yao Hai.
After finishing the stall, Yao Xinyue and Yao Hai went to the vegetable market to buy meat before leaving home.
When they arrived at the city gate, the three of them wanted to take the car back, but where could they still see the ox cart in Yaojia Village, thinking of the morning, the three of them tacitly agreed that they did not mention the car.
"Yue'er, can you walk?" Halfway through, Yao Hai looked at Yao Xinyue worriedly and asked.
Yao Xinyue smiled: "Second uncle, you can walk." But to say that, Yao Xinyue is really a little tired, even if she worked for the summer vacation before, she didn't feel so tired, and looking at the attitude of those people in the village, I am afraid that they will continue to be troubled in the future, and I don't know how much silver they will have to spend if they get an ox cart by themselves.
"Second uncle, do you know how much it costs to buy a cow?" Yao Xinyue suddenly asked, since this idea has appeared, then she will try her best to realize it, so that the days will be better and better.
Yao Hai thought for a while and replied: "When I was working in the city before, I heard that a strong cow costs seven or eight taels of silver, but it is more convenient to have a cow, not to mention anything else, the land at home saves a lot of trouble, and it can also pull a cart, and it is more convenient to go out for something." ”
Yao Xinyue frowned, this cow is so expensive, isn't the carriage even more expensive? She wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, she forgot it.
However, Yao Hai didn't intend to bypass this topic, he asked directly: "Yue'er, what are you asking for?" ”
Yao Xinyue didn't intend to hide it, and said directly: "I'm wondering, can our family get an ox cart by ourselves." ”
Yao Hai was surprised: "Yue'er, you want to buy cows?" ”
Yao Xinyue nodded: "I have this idea, second uncle, you think, our family will use more ox carts in the future, you have also seen the attitude of the people in the village today, I am afraid of ......" Yao Xinyue didn't say the next words, but Yao Hai and Li's faces changed, and they both knew what their family was facing next.
Yao Xinyue glanced at the two of them, knowing that the two of them had thought of one thing with herself, so she continued: "So I thought, it's better to ask for others than for ourselves, if we have a car, we still need to suffer from their anger." ”
Li didn't know what he was thinking, but Yao Hai was moved.
"But now the money for Lan'er and Shu'er is not enough to redeem their lives, where is the money to buy cattle?" Yao Hai sighed, it's not that he doesn't want to, but his niece and his daughter are still slaves and maidservants in other people's homes.
Yao Xinyue's enthusiasm calmed down instantly, yes, this is the most important thing in front of him, it seems that the matter of buying cattle has to be put aside.
"It's okay, let's work hard, and strive to buy the cattle back in these two months, and then make a board cart, so that we can drive the ox cart ourselves." Yao Xinyue said.
Yao Hai touched her head with a smile and said, "If your father sees you now, he may be so happy." ”
As soon as the words fell, he was pulled by the Li family next to him, and glared at him fiercely, which means to say, what are you doing mentioning this in front of the child??
Yao Hai immediately looked at Yao Xinyue with some regret and guilt, but Yao Xinyue smiled freely and said sensibly: "It is because my father is no longer there that I should work harder, take responsibility for the family, take care of my mother and younger brother, and take care of everyone in our family." ”
