Chapter Ninety-Three: Longing to Tie the Knot
Wang Defa led the three sheep and returned to the team with Boss Wan. Although he didn't understand, Wang Defa was still very curious and chatted with Boss Wan about some topics of livestock.
Boss Wan was very happy to tell him some methods and skills, he didn't know if he didn't ask, but when he asked, there was really a university question in it, and it was really interlaced like a mountain.
Boss Wan said that the three sheep he picked for Wang Defa are all ewes, and the age of the sheep is less than four years.
Wang Defa felt that what Boss Wan said was reasonable, just as Boss Wan himself said, he, a professional sheep farmer, started from the ewe in his own house, and the size of the sheep flock became larger and larger year by year.
"Brother Wang, this sheep, you have to pull it out for stocking one day, if you can't let it go, you let him follow me, follow me, you can rest assured!" When they arrived at the intersection and the two of them were going back to their respective homes, Boss Wan said to Wang Defa.
"Okay, this dare is good, and when the time comes, I will take care of your students more!"
"Momada! Then I'll go back first. Boss Wan said
"Okay, then you can go back, thank you today!" Wang De's words are simple, because those three sheep will be obedient and follow him for a while, and after a while, a sheep will not be able to pull it.
"Brother Wang, if you can't drag it, pull some grass on the side of the road, hold it in your hand, and the sheep will go with you." Boss Wan watched Wang Defa lead the sheep, it was too hard.
This method is really easy to use, Wang Defa is holding a handful of grass in his hand, and the three sheep obediently follow behind, they want to eat the grass in Wang Defa's hand, but they have no choice but to chase it, and they are only a distance away from it.
Wang Guisheng was playing at the door, and when he saw Wang Defa coming back with three snow-white sheep, he got up and ran over to lead himself, and he was very happy.
"Guisheng, you stay first, this sheep also recognizes life, you look at the horns on its head, born people, you want to provoke it, and you can break your belly." Wang Defa deliberately scared Guisheng so that he could have a sense of protecting himself.
"Don't be afraid!" Wang Guisheng said.
The two worked together to pull the sheep into the pen in the backyard.
"Did you buy it back?" Ma Xiu'e didn't see Wang Defa and Wang Guisheng leading the sheep into the backyard in the kitchen, and when she heard a sheep cry, she went out to ask.
"I bought it back, three, 1,800 yuan."
"In the past few years, life has improved, there are more people who eat meat, and livestock is also valuable!" Ma Xiu'e said.
"That's it, this body smells bad, you say Guisheng, what the hell is this brain thinking!"
"What your mind is thinking, none of us know." Ma Xiu'e said very implicitly.
The sheep was bought for Guisheng, the child was not happy, as long as he opened his eyes every day, he first went to the backyard to see his sheep, and after a long time, the sheep was familiar with the taste of Guisheng, of course, Guisheng was also full of the smell of sheep.
At first, Wang Defa was afraid that Guisheng would take the sheep out to eat grass, so he couldn't control it, so he asked Guisheng to pull weeds from wheat noodles every day, and bring them back to feed them in the pen.
Gradually, the sheep and Guisheng became familiar with each other, Guisheng liked to pinch the sheep's ears the most, and it was very comfortable to hold in his hands, and sometimes he let his sheep lick his face with his tongue, and even tried to ride on the sheep. It has completely achieved the unity of man and sheep.
Around the National Day, Wang Defa began to get busy. At this moment, it is also the time when the sheep herders are most active. In the wheat fields of Manchuan, which have been harvested, the fallen wheat grains have grown new sprouts again, and this new sprout is the favorite of sheep.
Wang Defa and Ma Xiu'e decided to pick the apples in their orchard early, and then start this year's apple acquisition business. On the day of the apple picking, Wang Defa agreed to allow Guisheng to herd sheep in the wheat fields around the orchard.
"Guisheng, you must take good care of the sheep, one can't lose it, and the other can't eat other people's fruit tree bark, and the rope that ties the sheep must be firmly grasped." Wang Defa told Guisheng.
"Know, know, yes!"
"Go ahead, don't go too far."
This is the first time Wang Guisheng has herded sheep outside, the sheep are happy, he is also happy, he can even play games with the sheep and talk to the sheep in his heart. Where there is a lot of grass, Wang Guisheng said in his heart: "Come, come, eat the grass here." The sheep seemed to understand, and went to graze where he wanted to go.
For Wang Guisheng, he experienced a sense of satisfaction in the sheep, and realized that in real life, other children could not give him respect, cooperation and tacit understanding. He does not blame, he understands what the reason is. But this sheep can't speak, only obedient, and the three sheep can satisfy all the resistance of your life to imbalance.
Holding the sheep rope in one hand, Wang Guisheng touched his slingshot in his pocket in the other. Around the National Day, there were not as many birds in the treetops in the river as before, and the feathers on the sparrows began to plump up, standing on the branches like a chubby sandbag.
The cries of sparrows are gradually becoming more attractive than those of sheep. The rope in Guisheng's hand slowly loosened, and he took his slingshot and chased after him to fight the sparrow.
The sheep who loosened the rope and spread joy, Manchuan found his favorite grass to eat, but the best thing to eat was the bark, which was much more comfortable than gnawing grass with his head down, and it was much more comfortable to raise his head and pout.
The sparrow lured Guisheng away and moved farther and farther away from the three sheep.
"Hey, hey, whose sheep gnawed at my bark?" A roar!
This voice is not far from Wang Defa's orchard, and it is very clear to hear.
"It's broken, it must be the three sheep you born." Wang Defa got down the ladder of apple-picking and hurriedly followed the sound.
It was the orchard next to Wang Defa's house, there were three trees, which were gnawed by the sheep to expose their milky white trunks, and the sheep had been driven away by them, and they found it in time.
"Defa, is this your sheep?" The next-door neighbor asked angrily, a little unconvinced.
"It's my sheep, and you're keeping it. I'm really sorry. ”
It has happened, the tree is alive with a skin, and these three apple trees must have been destroyed. It was a fact, and they were both next-door neighbors next to the orchard, and after a quarrel between the two families, they calmly discussed how to deal with the matter.
The shouting just now made Wang Guisheng jump out of his addiction to bird hunting, and he remembered that he was leading the sheep and herding the sheep, and the sheep in his hand was gone. By the time he caught up with the three sheep, he had already seen Wang Defa arguing with his neighbors.
"What about these three trees, you say." The neighbor asked.
"Brother, in this way, you see that these three trees will definitely not survive, the trees have to be replanted, I will pay for the trees, and the new saplings will bear fruit again, at least three years, three years of apple money for three trees, what will I give you?"
After so many years of business, Wang Defa is obviously very experienced in dealing with these problems.
The neighbors also understand that the trees are all destroyed, and they can only be solved in this way, so it is possible that Wang Defa and Guanyin Bodhisattva's jade dew can bring the tree back to life.
"Okay, they're all next-door neighbors, so let's do what you say."
"Then you see, how much is a tree?" Wang Defa was embarrassed to give how much money.
"Three hundred for one tree, nine hundred for three!"
Wang Defa didn't say anything after hearing this, this number, there is no slander, these three fruit trees in the prime of life are more than enough to sell for a hundred yuan a year.
"Okay, brother, I'll give you the money for the three saplings, one thousand two, I'll bring it to you tomorrow after I'm busy today!" I'm really sorry, you know that child, understand. ”
"Okay, okay, it's a pity that I have three trees."
This is even a solution. Wang Guisheng was holding the sheep in the distance, motionless.
"Old man, I'll tell you, it's okay for you to reason with him, but don't kill him, the child must be uncomfortable, besides, there are so many apple trees in Sichuan, and there are fewer and fewer wheat fields, just an adult, and it is possible for a sheep to gnaw the bark if you are not careful." Ma Xiu'e extinguished the fire for Wang Defa.
Three sheep, one thousand eight, from the purchase to the present, in less than a month, and lost one thousand two, the dream of the shepherd of your life, is really expensive.
After that time, Guisheng was no longer allowed to go to the Sichuan field to herd sheep, and Wang Defa only let him lead three sheep to graze on both sides of the road in the team.
After his apples were put into storage, Wang Defa took Guisheng to the agreed homes to collect apples and his own truck, he took Ma Xiu'e to set off early in the morning and rushed back after dark at night.
A meal at noon, Ma Xiu'e cleaned it up before going out in the morning, and Wang Laidi came back at noon to be ready soon, Yuting, Guisheng and their grandmother at home, when Wang Defa was busy with business, they could basically fill their stomachs, and that's it.
"Xiu'e, when I was harvesting apples, I was quietly staring at the candidate for your daughter-in-law." Wang Defa said as he drove the car.
"You are really full of food and bloated, your daughter is married to a daughter-in-law, where are you still there, far away." Ma Xiu'e replied.
"You are wrong, you see, one or two years older than Guisheng, who doesn't study, the children are already crying. Really, I don't lie to you, if you don't believe me, I can take you to see it when I go back. Wang Defa said very seriously.
"Could it be that the next family is the house where you told your daughter-in-law about your daughter-in-law?" Ma Xiu'e suddenly reacted.
"Let's just say that I can't hide anything from you, I'm like a transparent person in front of you. In the next family, there is a girl who is half a year younger than Guisheng, and the girl looks very good, but the situation is a little more serious than our Yuting, she can't speak, and she can't hear. Wang Defa looked at the road ahead with his eyes, and chatted with Ma Xiu'e in his mouth.
"You know that well enough. But I think it's still a little too early, your birth and other girls' babies are still children, how to start a family, and now it's not like we used to be in our teens. ”
"That's not comparable to before, but the situation of your birth, if you don't start early, I'm afraid I won't be able to find a suitable or willing girl for a while. Later, you know, this family is poor, there is no way, after all, it is in the mountains, but the family is very simple, and it is very comfortable to deal with and do business. ”
"Okay, okay, I'll see, see what you look like. For you to say that, I'm starting to worry about my Yuting. Ma Xiu'e was told by Wang Defa, and a sense of worry also rose from the bottom of her heart.
"In addition to not being able to speak, our Yuting is a clever and watery baby, so don't worry. Flip over the intersection in front of you and you're there. ”
Wang Defa said that the family, he brought Guisheng here, Guisheng and his girl played well, they are almost fourteen years old, the children are ashamed, Guisheng's expression is slow, but he is willing to figure out the idea of this female doll next to him. The girl can't speak, but a pair of clear eyes are like her mouth, you can know what she is saying at a glance, and she is very good at expressing her thoughts with body language.
That afternoon, Guisheng and the girl were a little uncomfortable with each other's way of communicating at first, but after getting acquainted with each other, the two of them were still reluctant to give up when they left.
"Boss Wang, it's here!" The girl's father heard the sound of the car and went out early to wait.
"If you say you'll come over today, you'll have to come early!"
"Go, go, go into the house, this is my sister-in-law, right?" The girl's dad asked.
"Well, you're a mother."
The house is still the same as the earthen house when Wang Defa's father was alive before, and the color is integrated with the surrounding loess mountains, which is even more desolate.
"How's the apple picking?" When you enter the house, you drink water.
"I picked some yesterday, and then you will first look at the quality of the apples, if there is not enough in the car, I will tell a few families, and I will come over to help you pick them on the spot."
"Why haven't you seen Narcissus?" Wang Defa wanted to get away with it, and finally got to the topic he wanted to ask.
"Girl, in the orchard, look at the apples. The apples are all under the tree. ”
"Brother, look at you, it's dangerous to let a girl be alone in the orchard."
"No, Narcissus is obedient."
"Okay, then we'll go directly to the orchard, it's still the price from last time, you are also an old acquaintance, if the price of apples rises, I'll make up the increase for you, if the price drops, count it as mine." Wang Defa has never made such a promise to any grower, and the purpose is obvious.
"Boss Wang, after so many years, this apple in my house, thanks to you, thank you in advance." Narcissus Dad is very grateful.
The men were chatting about business and talking, and Ma Xiu'e was holding Narcissus's arm, looking very affectionate, following behind the two men in front of her, chatting about women.
"Brother, I suddenly remembered, what I told you last time, about telling my family Narcissus to be a daughter-in-law of your family, why did you think about it?" Wang De asked.
"Oh, this matter, Boss Wang, do you really think so?" Narcissus's father asked Wang Defa confirmatively.
"Really, you think I'm joking!"
"Your noble student has no other defects except speech and body, right?" Narcissus asked tentatively, and he couldn't find a way to express whether he was sick or crazy about Guisheng, so he remembered that he had heard the word "defect" on TV, so he said it.
"Brother, don't worry, knowing that the son is not as good as the father, you gave birth to this child, because when I fell from the kang when I was a child, I fell my brain and delayed my development, in other aspects, this child has no problem at all, if it wasn't for the fall, this child is very smart."
The four of them chatted and said, Ma Xiu'e was also full of curiosity about the girl Narcissus from Wang Defa's anxious desire to promote this big event, and she also wanted to see what kind of girl this future daughter-in-law was in Wang Defa's eyes.
