Chapter 87: Buying a Mule

"That's right, but Brother Sun, I'll tell you the truth, your family is so rich, I just have the right person, and I don't dare to introduce it to you."

Liu Guiyuan feels that the portal is quite important, if your family is farming, the daughter-in-law you choose should also be farming, so that no one in the two families dislikes anyone, and the two have a common language. If the person who collects dung and the seller of gold utensils marry, can the rich party afford the rich party?

Of course, Liu Hongjube is different from Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingxuan's own family is just a well-off family, with a little income in his hand but not too much, and living in a small courtyard in the town is not a mansion.

"Longan, peanut, since I have said this, I will make a statement, my Sun Jingyi marries a wife and marries a virtuous man, as long as the person is good-looking and Zhou Zheng, and I can talk to him, regardless of whether her family is rich or not, I am willing to marry." Sun Jingyi originally said it casually, but when he understood the deep meaning of Liu Guiyuan's words, he became serious.

"Besides, my Lao Tzu's money, I don't know who to give it to in the end, maybe in the end, I will be a poor egg, and I have to rely on the snail shop to support my family, and marry the daughter of a rich family, which is not reliable."

After a moment of seriousness, Sun Jingyi smiled again, Liu Guiyuan admired his character, it seems to be a joke, but in fact, he understands everything in his heart, he can see everything, such a person, living with him, must be very easy.

It's a pity that her eldest sister has a famous flower, and the age of the second sister is too different from Sun Jingyi, otherwise she would like to match them, as for herself, the height of the radish head, and the figure of the bean sprouts, don't you think these are nonsense?

"Brother Sun, don't be sad, when I go back to the village, I will help you find a good woman, and I will definitely find you a good woman." Liu Huahua felt that Sun Jingyi was very pitiful, and when he was compassionate at the moment, he wanted to tell him a good match. She never thought that she was a yellow-haired girl, and she had to tell others about matchmaking, could she do it?

"Oops, I didn't expect the peanut girl to be so arrogant, okay, when I become a parent, I will definitely give the girl a big gift." Sun Jingyi originally called Liu Huahua Miss Liu, this was originally to avoid suspicion, but now he heard that he was willing to help him, so he hurriedly changed his name.

"Okay, don't make fun of the two of them, marrying a wife and starting a family is a big deal,

I think it's better to ask my mother to help you Zhang Luo. Sun Jingxuan glared at his cousin, unable to see him messing around like this.

Not long after, the guy Heizi came to the store, Liu Guiyuan and the two sisters said goodbye to the two grandchildren, happily went to the place where the livestock were sold, and found the livestock tooth Heizi father, the black father was slightly hunched back, it was a thin old man with black skin, after listening to his son's explanation, he squinted and said:

"You are right to look for me, there is no one in Qinghe Town who can take care of livestock than me, go, I will take you to pick, rest assured, since the Sun Dian family has spoken, I will definitely give you a real price."

Kuroko's father is a cattle tooth, but he is not the kind of livestock dealer who has a lot of livestock in his hands, but a middle-aged person who looks for buyers and looks at livestock, so he has some connections in the livestock shop, and he can ask for directions wherever he goes.

"What kind of mule applaud, uncle, tell us about it?"

"Okay, let me tell you two, looking at livestock, especially mules, pay attention to one neck, two hooves, three legs and four teeth, this is the key to watching animals, easy to use. The neck has a long endurance, see it and buy it quickly, you will definitely not lose it, the hooves are also particular, you have to pick wide hooves to buy horses, and mules have to have narrow hooves, just this, many people don't know ......"

When they arrived at the tooth shop where livestock were bought and sold, the two sisters entered the Grand View Garden like Grandma Liu, looking at the donkeys, cows, mules, and horses standing by the wall, and were almost dazzled, and of course they were selling

Heizi dad is powerful, and quickly picked a sturdy mule, I don't pay attention to look very similar to the horse, but it is a little smaller than the horse, and it can go up with a slight kick on the saddle, for Liu Guiyuan, don't ride it too light, buy!

"Then we want this, uncle, you give us a bargain."

Liu Guiyuan wanted to buy this mule, and her second sister also took a fancy to it, so she pulled Heizi's father to the side to talk, and Heizi's father gave them a shushing gesture, telling them not to open their mouths for a while, and he went to talk to the mule seller himself.

"What's the price of these heads? You tell me the truth. ”

"It's all about the same price, the male head is seven and a half, the red one is seven taels and two dollars, and the one in my hand is only one year old, and I have the strength to ask for seven taels or eight dollars."

"Holy! What kind of mule can you afford to be so expensive, it doesn't cost eight taels to buy a cultivated cattle, and you dare to be so expensive as a mule, when my black third master is in this area for nothing? Let me tell you, those two little girls are relatives of my family, and the adults have something to do at home, so I brought them over to buy them, you don't want to bully people when they are young! ”

"Oh, how can I, how dare I fool you? What if you want to buy a donkey too expensive, just this father in my hand, a big green donkey, sells you for five taels and eight dollars at a price, what's the matter? ”

"you, I want to buy a mule, what do you recommend me to donkey for? How many years can his father work? If it weren't for the good seeds, I wouldn't have looked at your mule, so let's take the head in your hand, seven taels of silver, we won't be short of money! ”

"No, no, add points, add more, you can't make me pay for it......"

The two bargained, and finally negotiated seven taels and two dollars, and bought the young and strong green mule, who had just turned one year old, was in good shape and had a docile temperament.

After paying the silver to buy a mule, Liu Guiyuan was so happy in his heart that he took out a hundred yuan from his sleeve, handed it to Heizi's father and said: "Uncle Hei, we children also know the etiquette, you picked a good mule for me, and also talked about a good price, you should take this money." ”

Heizi's father pushed down, and when he saw that her little girl was sincere, he took it generously, and was happy in his heart, so he said that he would take them to buy a saddle and a matching mule cart, which he was familiar with.

After buying a mule cart with a shed, saying goodbye to the sunspot and the sunspot's father, Liu Guiyuan and the two sisters got into the new car happily, and walked home with the mule, but the little mule may not have pulled the car seriously, and it was a little uncomfortable, so the sisters had to lead one in front and the other to protect it.

Walking to the fresh fish noodle shop, Tian Rubai was already waiting here, Liu Guiyuan quickly ran to him, and said a little apologetically: "Brother Xiaobai, I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting for a long time, we bought mules and found acquaintances, and people do their best, so we are delayed here." ”

"It's okay, I'm sitting here reading a book, just like I am at home." Tian Rubai closed the book, put it in a coat, and then went to look at the mule they bought, and looked up and down: "This mule is not bad, it looks like a good mule, it must be energetic, it is a female mule, right?" ”

"Huh? Mules are still male and female? Liu Guiyuan regretted it after speaking, what question did he ask, animals must be divided into male and female, is there still a sexless mule?

Sure enough, Liu Huahua was the first to laugh, pulled down her pigtails, and said: "Why are you so good for a while, a mule must have a male and a female, but it can't give birth to offspring." “

"Hehe, I forgot, let's go, it's not early, and it's dark if you don't get home."

When I got home, it was not dark yet, Liu Hongzao had already made dinner, looking at the big green mule, the mule cart with a top and a basket of chicks in front of her, Liu Hongzao was so happy that she didn't know whether to talk to them first, or to touch the mule to feed the chickens first.

"Eldest sister, you feed the chickens to eat fine wheat bran first, I'll go and return the ox cart of other people, and the second sister, you bring the mule in and feed some food."

"That's okay, let's get it done early, let's eat, I fried the radish cake today, and I made white rice porridge, and I specially added sugar."

The three of them said that they were busy with their own things, and the little chicken was afraid of the cold, so Liu Hongjube put it in the west side room for her, which was originally leeward, and the door of the hall was closed and put on the original kang, which was very warm. Mix some fine wheat bran with them, blanch them with hot water, and the chickens don't like to eat too much.

Liu Huaanhua kicked the dog who came up to make trouble, first tied the mule behind the door, and then went out of the west door, went to the firewood stack on the west side, and pulled two dung baskets of maize stalks, the one spread on the ground to be cold.

"I didn't have time to build a donkey shed, so I tied him to the cooking place, ah, eldest sister?" Liu Huaanhua asked the eldest sister in the house.

"Yes, it's tied there."

The eldest sister had just mixed chicken food, came out to help her, and led the mule to the bottom of the newly built grass shed, where there was originally a broken table, leaving them to cut vegetables, wash vegetables and chop meat, but now the table is removed, and the mule is let make do here overnight, surrounded by courtyard walls, and it can't freeze it.

After the two of them settled the mule, Liu Guiyuan came back from Liu Jindi's house, originally said to come back early to help, but Aunt Gu talked to her about Uncle Daquan's not coming back, seeing her various worries, Liu Guiyuan could only follow the persuasion and tell her to think in the good way.

It turned out that Uncle Gu was not worried at all, but seeing that the Chinese New Year's Eve had passed and the first month was almost over, she began to worry, she came back here last year, and she brought a letter before returning, why did she not see anyone or a letter this year? ”

"In the past few days, let's take a look again, I have a hunch that my father and uncle will be back soon." Liu Guiyuan was actually lying, but she said this to persuade the Gu family that people are willing to listen to such words when the six gods have no master.

"Yes, when you say that, I also have this hunch, then let's meditate and wait, we must be on the way." Gu Shi categorically agreed, but in fact, she didn't have a bottom in her heart.

What Liu Jindi said at Liu Jindi's house, Liu Guiyuan didn't want to repeat it to the sisters, for fear that they would be anxious to listen, Liu Huahua took out a torn dress from the house, covered the mule, and saw her come back and asked: "Why has it been so long, we have everything done." ”

"Hehe, let's gossip, don't mention it, let's wash our hands and eat, I'm hungry."

The three of them washed their hands and sat in the hall to eat, the lotus seeds didn't care, the eldest sister had already fed them in advance, and they were sleeping on the bed at this time.

Liu Huahua took a bite of the radish cake, chewed it two or three times and swallowed it, and then talked to the eldest sister about buying mules in the town, and Sun Jingyi asked her to talk about matchmaking, Liu Hongzao smashed the table with chopsticks, and said disapprovingly:

"You are a little girl, how can you mix this matter, you are thirteen years old this year, you have to learn the key points."

"Hey, I just want to help him, what a good person Brother Sun is, eldest sister, you will talk about me." Liu Huahua coquettishly said to her eldest sister, Liu Hongjuo had no choice but to be careful: "Then you pay attention to some measure, just a few of us whispered, don't let others hear." ”

"Well, I see, then who do you think is good in the village?" After eating the radish cake, Liu Guiyuan quickly raised his little hand, opened his eyes wide and said: "I, I, I have a candidate, I have thought about it on the road, Sister Jin Di is good, and she has a good temper." ”

Liu Jindi is one year older than Liu Hongjuo, and she should have said that she was the age of her relatives, but it is estimated that because her father is not at home all the year round, Gu does not dare to say goodbye to her daughter easily. I want to wait for Liu Daquan to come back this year, Liu Jindi will arrange to marry out soon, if there is no suitable one, it is better to introduce it to Sun Jingyi.

"Hey, it's really, little longan, you have a good eye!" Liu peanut praised her.

"That's for sure, look at our eldest sister, isn't it me who picked it for her." Liu Guiyuan was triumphant.

"Are you two still eating?"
