Chapter 13: Joy
"Oh, old man, you are too discerning, look at this cow, oily and slippery."
The cattle seller worked hard to sell the people, and Father Yang looked obviously very excited.
Begin to follow the guidance of others, look here and feel there, there is nothing more satisfying.
The pothos smelled uncomfortable, so she walked out the door a little, and the air was a little fresher.
"No, look at this cow, it's all old and sick, and you still sell it for ten taels of silver, isn't this a pit man?"
The other side was noisy, and the pothos was unconsciously attracted.
The cow seller was an old man, and he seemed very unmotivated, and he could even be said to be very depressed.
No matter how others accuse him, he just watched the other party silently and remained silent.
The scolder scolded for a long time, and when he saw that he didn't react at all, he felt bored, so he walked away.
The people watching the excitement gradually dispersed, and the pothos finally saw the whole picture of the cow.
To be honest, really skinny.
It looks like he hasn't been raised, but Su Qingqing looks at the old man's distressed eyes and the cow's docile appearance, and it doesn't seem to be abused.
It's just that the eyes that are thoughtless are very familiar to the green reed.
I don't know why, she suddenly thought of herself before she died.
I walked over uncontrollably, and when I stopped, I was a little frightened.
"Why did you sell it? I can see that you are reluctant. ”
The old man's cloudy eyes finally glanced at the green pothos: "The old man has been with me for eight years." I don't want to, but it will only suffer if it follows me, so it's better to find a good home for it. ”
Pothos sighed, not knowing what to do.
"Girl, if you want to buy a cow, you might as well buy this one, you won't lose anything." The old man said very sincerely.
The pothos was still very hesitant, but when she saw the old man's pleading eyes, she nodded.
Father Yang was about to find Pothos to pay money, and Pothos pulled Father Yang over.
"Dad, I want to buy this."
Yes? Father Yang was dumbfounded, this cow is at least five or six years old, and it will be an old cow if you buy it back.
But when I saw the bright eyes of the pothos, my heart softened again.
"Pothos, this is an old cow, you see, the little calf that my father fancies, if you raise it for half a year, it will be a big cow."
The pothos knew it in her heart, but she couldn't bear it.
Forget it, it's considered a good deed, and if you can't buy it together, forget it.
"Dad, this cow is quite pitiful, let's buy it for ten taels of silver, let's buy the little calf too, I just have a companion."
Father Yang really couldn't cry or laugh, this is really what a little girl would say.
When the old man saw Father Yang coming, he didn't sell hard, but just went to comb his old cow.
"Dad, please."
Father Yang walked in and looked at the old cow, he was indeed very old, but when he saw the tearful pothos, the father relented again.
"Okay!"
Before he finished speaking, Lu Luo happily pulled Father Yang's next door: "Daddy is the best." ”
Yang's father saw his daughter so happy, and felt that it was worth it.
"Old man, we bought it, and I'll give you ten taels."
When the green pothos handed out the silver, Father Yang's heart was about to drip blood.
The old man was not surprised, accepted the silver, reluctantly tied a rope to the ox nose ring, and handed it to Father Yang.
The two glanced at each other, quite sympathetic.
"Daddy. Don't be sad, let's buy the calves too. ”
Where is Father Yang's willing, he will die of distress if he spends twenty taels at once.
led the old ox and drove the ox cart back.
On the way, Father Yang's interest was not very high.
"Dad, I'm sorry, I'm willful."
Father Yang smiled, and ironed a lot in his heart, forget it, anyway, his daughter earns silver, as long as she is happy, buy it.
When I got home, Mother Yang greeted her.
"Hey, whose cow is this?"
Father Yang scratched the back of his head, and said it all at 1510.
Yang Mu and Yang Lin are already stupid, and their sister's embroidery was sold for thirty taels?
Their family's annual income is only five taels of silver, and they can't save any silver.
At this time, it was thirty taels in the account, so when I looked at it, it was not so distressing to spend ten taels of silver to buy an old cow.
Pothos is very happy because no one in the family blames her.
After placing the old cow, Father Yang went to return the cow.
When I came back, I saw the old cow standing in the cattle pen, and my heart was mixed.
With a sigh, he led the old cow out to graze.
Fortunately, the old cow was very docile, and after eating for a while, he refused to eat it and was pulled back.
Luluo gave the remaining dozen taels of silver to Yang's mother, but Yang's mother didn't want it at first, and she had to use Luluo as her own private money.
How could the pothos be willing, in the end, he had to make his son stuff the silver into Yang's mother's arms and run out.
Mother Yang looked at the bright silver, and her heart was full.
"Brother Zhuzi, don't feel sorry for the old cow's money, the pothos is also kind-hearted, don't blame him."
Father Yang let out a long breath: "I know that the child's heart is good, I just feel sorry for the silver." ”
"Don't feel distressed, I think the old ox can still pull the cart, you can come slowly when plowing the land, and you will spend three days if others spend one day, it's better than nothing."
Father Yang thinks about it, it's better than nothing, and he feels a lot more comfortable.
Life is still going on as usual, and Father Yang is also very meticulous in serving the old cow.
The village soon knew that the Yang family had bought a cow, but it was an old cow, and it was estimated that it was not expensive.
The insider knew that it was bought for ten taels of silver, so he had to sigh secretly, and Yang Tiezhu was also deceived.
There are people who are happy, and there are many people who regret it.
After Father Yang wanted to open it, he was a lot happier, but he couldn't be happy soon, and Lao Niu was sick.
Although it could still eat and drink, Father Yang found that it had a bag in its belly.
I didn't know what was going on, so the family discussed it and decided to invite a veterinarian.
There is only a veterinarian in the town, and Father Yang has no choice but to invite it, otherwise the cow will die of illness, and the gain will outweigh the loss.
Even Li Zheng and the village chief were alarmed by this, there was no way, the cow was a big deal.
Just as everyone was chattering, the veterinarian finally arrived.
Li Zheng shouted, and everyone dispersed.
The veterinarian thought something was wrong with the cow, only to find that it was still eating grass normally, as long as it could eat, it would be fine.
After touching it for a long time, the veterinarian laughed: "Congratulations! ”
What's the joy? Everyone was curious.
"Haha, your cow is pregnant with a cub, I just saw it, and there are two cubs."
What the? Father Yang suspected that he had misheard.
When the veterinarian left, Yang's father was dizzy.
Mother Yang was overjoyed, and hurriedly made a fire to cook porridge for the cow, which must be replenished well, it is too thin.
The pothos is finally happy now, and she has done nothing wrong.
She has calculated, the two calves were born with twenty taels of silver, haha, no loss, no loss.
Seeing her father so uncomfortable before, she felt very sad in her heart.
