Buying cattle is a big deal, Li first talked to Du Maoxing, and then gathered everyone in the Du family at home.

"Wu, Acui, Yun Jie and Yun Da can't come back now, you go back and talk to them."

Then Li said that Du Yunnuan took out the two hundred taels of silver.

Wu hurriedly said, "It's better to keep your own money, we don't have any money in our hands, we should be able to make up enough money to buy cattle." ”

"Mother, I also have this idea," Li Cui followed, "After all, it is Nannan's own money, I remember that Nannan still has to take medicine, haven't you taken it in the past few days?" It's good to keep this money for medicine. ”

Du Yunnuan waved his hand, "Second uncle, don't worry, the medicine I took was personally prepared by the uncle of the divine doctor, and I didn't take it in the past few days because I didn't bring it back much last time, and then the medicine dispensed by the uncle of the divine doctor will be sent to Shengyu Qianzhuang, and then my brother or father will go and take it back with it." ”

"Uncle Miracle Doctor didn't say that I had to eat it every day, he just said that I should eat it steadily for half a year."

"And I've already given the money for that medicine, don't worry about this."

Wu and Li Cui glanced at each other, and the two of them had the same thought in their hearts, last time, the old liar said that their family was a blessed person, and Li Lisheng's unreliable nephew and daughter of Little Fuxing every day, could it be that their family is really a little Fuxing?

"Okay, don't persuade you anymore, Nan Nan and even Ping's daughter-in-law feel that it is better to spend the silver now, I think it is also, this can not be put there to make money, Nan Nan has always wanted our family to have a cow, then I think it is better to buy a healthy young cow directly, it can also be used for more than ten or twenty years, let's take an ox cart, so that it will be convenient to go to the town in the future, you see?"

Although calves are much cheaper than healthy adult cows, it takes several years for a cow to grow from a young age, so it is better to buy an adult one.

Du Liansheng made a rare suggestion, "Mother, I see that it's more than two hundred taels, I can fight with my father on the ox cart, let's buy an adult one, and then buy a calf, what do you think, mother?" ”

"Calves?"

Du Liansheng nodded, "Dad, mother, I think so, our family now has more than 100 acres of land, but Dad can still do it, overall it's okay, after a few years, Dad should also have a good rest, he has been busy all his life, and when the time comes, more cattle can be regarded as more than half of the labor." ”

Li Shi turned his head to look at Du Maoxing, "Old man, what do you think?" ”

Du Maoxing thought for a while, and tapped his fingers on the table, "I think it's feasible, and if you want to buy a little piglet, then clean up the pigsty in the next few days, and we'll also go to inquire which family has a little piglet, and buy two back." ”

"In addition, I think Nan Nan also likes to eat mutton, we have water and grass on the back mountain, just raise it in a circle, anyway, such a large piece of land was allocated to our family back then, and there is no time to plant it, and it can still be used."

"The silver is enough, buy a cow and a calf, and you don't need a hundred taels of silver, plus sheep cubs, pig cubs, and ask ducks and the like, it would be good to spend more than 100 taels."

Du Yunnuan suddenly had an illusion that he had money and nowhere to spend.

The family meeting on the matter of buying cattle came to a conclusion, and beans would have to be planted in two days, and Du Liansheng and Du Liancheng were planning to take advantage of these two days to buy the cattle back quickly, and it would be easy to plow the fields directly.

So early the next morning, Du Liansheng and Du Liancheng went out to buy cows and calves, and Li went out to ask people to inquire which family now had piglets, and as for the sheep cubs, they had to find people in the town to help keep an eye on them.

In the evening, Li brought back twenty or thirty duck eggs, "It just so happens that one of your grandmother Miao's chickens is holding a nest, so let your grandmother Miao's chickens help hatch the eggs." ”

"Grandma, can duck eggs hatch chickens?"

"Of course." Saying that, Li took Du Yunnuan to Miao's house.

Du Yunnuan usually has a lot of time at home, and rarely runs to the neighbor's house, so there is not much time to Miao's house, and there is more than a month and a half, Miao Xiang is the time to get married, and when Li takes Du Yunnuan to arrive, it happens that Miao Xiang comes out of the house.

"Grandma Li!"

"Xiangxiang, what are you busy with?"

Miao Xiang's face turned red, "I'm making shoes." ”

Li Shi glanced at it, "I'll take a look, this stitch is really fine, and Xiangxiang's shoes are just good." ”

Grandma Miao walked out of it, Du Yunnuan called out at the right time, Grandma Miao responded with a smile, and replied to Li by the way, "Don't praise her, if she has the embroidery skills of your daughter-in-law Lianping, we don't have to worry about her." ”

Li played a round game, "Should you praise or praise, Xiangxiang is still young, such a small shoe is good, it is enough to be able to sew and mend, embroidery is too good, is it possible that the family will still rely on her to earn in the future?" ”

Grandma Miao didn't say anything anymore, and turned the topic to the duck eggs brought by the Li family, "This is bought from Shangjitan Village?" ”

"How can it, since Jitan Village has been unhappy with our family and the Ji family, I have gone there less, after all, the Ji family in Jitan Village is a big family, I went to Lixia Village, Yunjuan and her cousin's family raised more than a dozen ducks, and they have been raised for two years, so I changed these twenty or thirty eggs, how many can hatch."

"Cheng, it just so happens that my old hen has a nest, and I don't plan to hatch chicks at this time, so I will put duck eggs in the nest at night."

"Then it's going to trouble the old sister."

Li and Grandma Miao were talking, and Du Yunnuan saw that she didn't let the old hen hatch eggs at this time, and she was not very interested in listening to adults, so she came to Miao Xiang to watch her make shoes.

The shoes made by Miao Xiang are the thousand-layer soles of their own shoes, which are very solid, Du Yunnuan looked at the thick needles and the dense stitches, and had to admire it very much, "Sister Xiangxiang, you are so amazing!" ”

Miao Xiang hadn't spoken yet, just as Miao He came back, he saw Du Yunnuan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Hey, Sister Xiaonuan, you're here!" ”

"Why haven't you seen Sister Yan'er come out to play recently?"

"Does Sister Xiao Nuan eat fish? I just went to the river with Dajiang to catch two fish, and I'll give you one. ”

Miao He spoke very quickly, and Grandma Miao wanted to smoke him as soon as she heard him play, and then saw her grandson give the fish to Du Yunnuan, and she couldn't say anything about the scolding.

In the end, I had to hit him lightly, "I don't see anyone dancing all day long, and I come back at dinner in the evening, I thought you weren't hungry!" ”

"Your sister Yan'er helps her mother work every day, and you don't know how to help your father share the burden, a twelve-year-old boy, and he is still so ignorant!"

Miao He smiled and divided the fish and handed it to Li, "Come, Grandma Li, this is a fish for Xiao Nuan's sister." ”

Then he slipped into the kitchen of the Miao family.

Li looked at Grandma Miao's appearance, and persuaded him, "It's only twelve, it's still young, it's good to be sensible in two years." ”
