"No, the light of the oil lamp is the size of a bean, and it will break the eyes sooner or later."

Liu Wan vetoed it.

"This little brother, don't worry about money, your mother is right, my candle is 50 yuan, but unlike others, it can be lit for more than four days, it is definitely worth it."

The guy hastened to boast.

Before the man's voice fell, Liu Wan's eyes lit up again, and it turned out that she had seen the wind lamp.

"Shopkeeper, how much is a gas lamp?" Liu Wan asked.

"Mother, why did you buy this lamp? We don't need it, we basically don't walk at night, okay? ”

Wang Xiao was really reluctant, and his mother bought some useful and useless, and this time he couldn't help protesting.

"Hehe, this little brother, the wind lamp is easy to use, no matter how strong the wind is, it can't be extinguished, you can't leave it after using it, or this lady has a vision."

The guy saw that Liu Wan was the one in charge, and hurriedly secretly patted Liu Wan's ass.

"Two dead wind lamps and 10 candles."

Liu Wan said without distress.

If it weren't for the heartache of taking care of Wang Xiao's silver like cutting meat, Liu Wan estimated that she would be able to buy twenty or thirty candles in one go.

Anyway, they will come to the town from time to time, it doesn't matter, it takes two or three weeks to buy 10 candles, and if they are gone, they can be bought in the town at any time.

"You have to buy a dead wind lamp, so that if you get up at night, you won't go out and grope around in the dark." Liu Wan explained.

"Mother, why did you buy two? It's good to buy one. ”

Wang Xiao knew that he couldn't stop his mother, so he hurriedly said.

"There's another one for you, don't you always like to tinker with chickens and ducks at night? It was very dark and there was a pond on the side, so you should be careful and take the lights with you after night to avoid accidents. ”

After Liu Wan finished speaking, she categorically asked the guy to wrap everything she wanted, and put the angry wind lamp in a bamboo basket with straw, which saved it from being broken.

Wang Xiao didn't expect his mother to buy him a gas lamp, and he couldn't say anything against it for a while, and there was an inexplicable warm current in his heart.

This is motherly love, right?

Wang Xiao had never experienced it before.

"Thank you, mother!"

"Thanks for what? Isn't that how it should be? Let's go, go home! ”

Liu Wan finally felt that it was almost time to buy it, and got up to go back.

Wang Xiao wiped the sweat on his forehead, and thought to himself, he could finally go home, and today his mother earned another 63 taels of silver, but she had already spent more than a tael of silver.

Walking to the street, Liu Wan's footsteps suddenly stopped again and said:

"Let's go cut some meat again, there's no meat at home. Your daughter-in-law has her body, so she needs to eat better. ”

As soon as Wang Xiaoyi heard about buying food, he didn't have a big opinion, and he also felt very sorry for his younger brothers and sisters.

However, unexpectedly, today is not known to be a good day, when they arrived at the meat stall, the meat on the meat stall was almost sold.

Liu Wan buys meat every time she comes back to the market, and the butcher who sells meat knows her, and when she sees this, she asks:

"Well, big sister, you're late today, and the meat is sold out."

"What's going on? How can meat sell so fast today? Liu Wan was puzzled.

"Today is 15, everyone buys it back and sacrifices to the god of the stove." The butcher explained.

Liu Wan suddenly realized that she really didn't understand these folk customs.

Seeing Liu Wan's disappointed expression, the butcher hesitated and said:

"Forget it, I still have five catties of pork belly left by myself here, take it if you want it, and ah, don't you want big bones?"

"Great." Liu Wan was happy.

The butcher took out the five catties of pork belly and big bones from the bamboo basket on the side, and Liu Wan happily paid for the pork belly and big bones, put them in her back basket, and was about to leave.

Wang Xiao couldn't open his legs.

Liu Wan turned around and saw that Wang Xiao was in the livestock trading market opposite, and she couldn't put down a calf that was almost 10 months old.

He touched his head and his body, and the ox stuck out his tongue and licked his hand.

"Uncle, how much does this calf sell?" Wang Xiao asked.

"Eight taels of silver."

"Yo, is it so expensive?"

Every tael of silver is Wang Xiao's heart, but if you want to pay silver, you will dig up his heart, which hurts.

"Hey, it's not expensive, if it's an adult cow, it will have to be sold for 20 taels of silver."

The cattle dealer said.

Liu Wan went up to inspect the calf.

Seeing that its eyes were black and white, there was no secretion from the corners of its eyes, and its nose was moist, he threw a handful of grass to it and ate it very happily, knowing that this calf was most likely not sick.

These common senses were learned by Liu Wan when she had pets.

"How about seven taels of silver? This calf is still young, we have to raise it when we go back, and the process of raising it is quite difficult! ”

Liu Wan didn't say it too badly, the calves have to be fed to adult cattle, who knows if there will be rinderpest and other problems, if they can't be raised, it will be a big loss.

"Seven-and-a-half, huh?" The cattle dealer thought for a moment and said. was obviously persuaded by Liu Wan's reasoning.

"Deal." Liu Wan said categorically.

"Mother, did you really buy it?"

Wang Xiao didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly.

He has long coveted his grandfather's cow, and fantasizes that his family can have a cow one day, which will be beautiful.

Cattle are the treasure of the farmer, in addition to being able to plough the land and plow the field, go to the town to catch the market, you can set an ox cart, which is the "big piece" in the life of the farmer.

Generally speaking, the more well-off farmers can afford to buy cattle, and those who can't afford to buy cattle can only rent them when they need them, and some have to be angry with the cattle owner.

So it's nice to have a cow at home.

Wang Xiaoxi's invincible appearance made Liu Wan feel good.

Let's take an inappropriate example, Liu Wan can fully understand the mood of the local tyrant when she bought a bag for her girlfriend this time, and saw her girlfriend's smile.

Liu Wan asked Wang Xiao to pay the silver to the cattle dealer.

The cattle dealer gave them a simple bridle, put a bridle on the calf, and led the calf away.

Now the cow is still small, and I haven't worn the cow nose ring yet, so I have to wait until it is older to wear the cow nose ring.

Wang Xiao led the calf and walked back, overjoyed.

When they returned to the village, the villagers saw them coming back with a calf, and they all came forward to greet them curiously.

"Aunt Liu, did your family buy a cow?"

"Yes, there are still a few acres of thin fields at home, and you can't do it without cattle!" Liu Wan said lightly.

The eyes of the people in the village who looked at their mother and son immediately became different.

In the past, you ignored me, and now I can't make you climb.

Liu Wan finally deeply realized this sentence.

"How much did it cost?"

"My family is plowing the fields in the spring and looking for you to borrow them?"

Everyone is gossiping.

"Oh, it's not expensive, it cost a few taels of silver, and I still borrowed it from someone."

Liu Wan didn't want to tell the truth, lest the villagers listen to a lot of thoughts in their hearts and think how she could have so much money to buy cattle.

Sure enough, someone listened and said sourly:

"Oh, let's just say that this cow is still small, it's still far from raising it, you have to pay attention, after the beginning of spring, it's easy to have rinderpest, and it's hard to say whether you can raise it."

When Wang Xiao heard this, his face sank.
