Chapter 053: Stolen Time
When he arrived in the front yard, Lao Guo's family didn't hide it, so he talked about the price, and added that if it weren't for the face of the fat aunt man, according to the rules of their family, the price would not be negotiated, and the pigs would not be out of the circle, and it would be an exception today.
The fat aunt man glanced at the pig seedlings in the wooden box, pondered for a long time, and raised his right palm to look at the people of the old Guo family.
"At this price, you don't lose four pigs."
The people of the old Guo family just wanted to negotiate the price with the fat aunt man, saying that they couldn't do a loss-making business.
"If you agree, you will be pulled away, and if you don't agree, the pig will be returned to the circle."
The fat aunt man's tone was flat, but what he said was hard, and there was no room for negotiation.
Lao Guo's family looked at a few pigs, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and nodded.
"Five dollars is five dollars, I fancy it, four pigs are twenty yuan, but it can't be less."
The old Guo family was afraid that they would lower the price again, so after agreeing happily, they hurriedly followed the fat aunt man and said, seeing him nodding, he bent down and put the wooden box on the donkey cart.
Xi Menglan took out twenty yuan from her pocket and handed it to him, looking at it Lao Mengtou dumbfounded.
After getting on the donkey cart, Lao Mengtou looked at the pig in the wooden box, and then glanced at Ximenglan a few times, and the words came to his mouth a few times, but he didn't say it.
Xi Menglan knew what he was going to say, pretending not to see it, smiling at the corners of her mouth, touching the little pig in the wooden box, and the smile slowly spread in her eyes.
Put the pigs into the pigsty, looking at the pigs jumping around, even the fat aunt man was happy, and he was full of praise for this pigsty.
"It is said that Kou Zhenge is a good job done by a stuffy gourd, and when I saw it today, it was really like that, this pigsty was built, and it was done!"
The fat aunt male god looked left and right, and leaned inside to look, and his mouth was full of praise.
"Good craft, good craft, when I have a job at home, even if I invite him, I will invite him."
"This job is really good, but the temper is a little weird!"
Old Meng Tou also looked around and kept nodding.
"The second uncle doesn't like to talk on weekdays, he has a good temper, and he is not as weird as the big guy said."
As soon as Xi Menglan finished speaking, she heard a hearty laugh from the door, and everyone looked back to see that it was Kou Zhenge walking over with something.
"It's still my niece and daughter-in-law, it's really not in vain."
Kou Zhenge held a wooden trough in one hand, stood on the edge of the pigsty door, put one on the side, turned around and patted the soil on his hand, looked at Simonlan and smiled.
"The pigsty is covered, how can you do it without a pig food bowl, I'll go home and take the rest of the planks and make two for you to make do with them first."
Kou Zhenge's words made the fat aunt man stunned, walked to his side and looked at him carefully, then looked at Lao Mengtou and raised his eyebrows.
"Is this really Kou Zhenge?"
"It's like a fake!"
Kou Zhenge looked at the fat man, and his voice raised a lot, looking at him and talking.
"Don't you mean you don't like to talk, why are you so hearty?"
The fat aunt man was extremely surprised when he said a word, and he was even more impressed by this Kou Zhenge, and even the old Meng Tou next to him was full of surprise.
"I don't know what you big willow village says about me, I don't care about this, what kind of person am I, my nephew, my niece and daughter-in-law just know, are you right Lan Lan?"
Kou Zhenge looked at Xi Menglan with a smug face and said, causing everyone to laugh again and again.
"It just so happens that the three of them are at my house, don't leave at night, I will get some food with Juncheng, and we will stay for dinner at night."
Xi Menglan looked at the three people and smiled subtly, and she felt a lot more comfortable, she was also very curious, her second uncle was different from the rumors, at least for herself.
"The wine I drank here at noon, I won't eat here at night, the taste of lard all over my body, I am tired of it, how can I still have the appetite to eat, by the way, I forgot to tell you, pig food should be served with warm water, don't use cold water."
Before going out, Kou Zhenge was still at ease with a rebellious order, and then left the hospital without looking back.
"Hey, this old thing, who is talking about the smell of lard, I'm a pig killer, can I not have the taste of lard, by the way, I can't stay here for long, the butcher stays in the pig's house for a long time, and the pig won't live long."
The fat aunt man and Kou Zhenge are about the same age, and they are both uncles, so no one is polite to anyone, and when he is talking, he thinks that he is killing pigs, so he quickly said a few words to Xi Menglan, and then went out of the yard, and he didn't stay long.
Seeing that the two of them were not ready to eat, Lao Mengtou also wanted to leave, but was stopped by Xi Menglan alive, so he stayed to eat.
"Dad, Juncheng went to send my uncle back to the village, the first time you came to my house, how can you stay overnight today, how can you go back to your daughter's house without even eating, there is no reason in the world, I don't know, I thought it was my daughter's unfilial piety."
Xi Menglan came over with tea, sat down with Lao Mengtou, poured tea for him, and said softly.
Recently, she has thought about a lot of things, both come and be safe, when she arrives in this place, she has parents and in-laws, they are all so good to her, what is she not satisfied with, since she can't go back in modern times, then live in this place well, as Kou Juncheng said, how can this stolen time be so wasted.
"I used to be ignorant, I said that I had done things that made my father sad, but now that I'm married, I have less time to be by your mother's side, and I have less time to take care of you."
Listening to Xi Menglan's words, the corners of Lao Mengtou's eyes were moist, he raised his hand to wipe his tears, and kept shaking his head.
"I raised so many pigs, just to make life better, so that the family can also have meat to eat."
Xi Menglan grabbed Lao Mengtou's hand, and her voice was a little choked.
"Child, I understand your thoughts, but do you know how much effort it takes to feed four pigs, how much food can be fed, and how much suffering can you eat with your small body and bones."
Old Meng Tou looked at Ximenglan with distressed eyes.
Xi Menglan also knows that her body is thin and weak, and she looks weak, but her heart is strong, as long as she wants to stick to something, she will definitely be able to do it well.
"Don't worry, others can, I can too, this is twenty yuan, you can take it back to the house and buy what you lack, don't be reluctant."
Xi Menglan took out twenty yuan and handed it to Lao Mengtou, but was pushed back by Lao Mengtou.
"What are you doing here, there is nothing lacking at home, besides, you are raising pigs and having to live, save some money in your own hands, don't always spend it randomly."
Lao Mengtou looked at Xi Menglan, his face became serious, and he refused to ask for this money.
"I've arranged everything in my family, you don't have to worry about it, if the family is not doing well, what's the use of me saving money, I do so much, I just want to make my family live a little better."
Xi Menglan looked at Lao Mengtou and said sincerely.
