Chapter Twenty-Six: The Sick Horse
"Dad, I want to put a saddle on the horse, learn to ride a horse when I have nothing to do, and if there is anything in the future, I can ride a horse faster." Zhang Shuli cautiously asked his father.
"Okay, let your mother get you the silver in a while." The old man looked at the two transformed horses, and his heart was also very happy.
Without thinking about it, I agreed to my youngest son's request.
"Master, these horses are so beautiful.
Give them a name. Xiao Hai and Xiao Tao also circled around the horse, which was rare.
"What's the name of the horse? Let's talk about it when I'm cured!
Don't take the name and don't save it, it's in vain. Zhang Shujun heard his daughter's words when he came in and retorted.
When the three of them turned around, they saw Zhang Shujun leading Hou San'er and Zhu Dalang over.
"Dad, I let the two of them come to the house for dinner together. After eating, work together. ”
"Third uncle, I said that I would come back after eating at home, my eldest brother had to pull me to your house to eat. Hehe...... "After greeting the old man, he scratched his head embarrassedly.
Hou San'er and Mr. Zhang took some corners, so they called the old man's third uncle.
"Uncle, I'm here to disturb too." Zhu Dalang said uncomfortably.
He is a villager with a miscellaneous surname in the village, honest and willing to work, and down-to-earth.
"What do you say? You're here to work for me, and you can still work on an empty stomach?
Walk back to the house and eat. The old man was afraid that they would be embarrassed, so he hurriedly relieved them of the siege and let them enter the house.
Because it was discussed last night that the two of them would have breakfast at their own house, the meal was sufficient.
When the old lady saw someone coming, she said, "Let's eat, there are no good dishes, but you are full!"
Don't keep your stomach open, you have the strength to work when you're full. ”
The two of them saw a pot of fried cabbage with sliced meat and stewed yellow pumpkin and potatoes on the table.
There are also two small pickles, Shuli rice dry rice.
I couldn't help but swallow my saliva.
Although the Hou Sanjia is stronger than the average family, the meat is not often edible.
The last time I ate meat, it was more than two months ago.
"Third uncle, this meal is too rich, I'm embarrassed to eat it." After Hou San'er finished speaking, he scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Okay, you two don't come to eat once a year, what's wrong with me cooking and putting a few slices of meat?
Let's eat, let's go to the stove and eat. The old lady went to dinner too.
A few people chatted while eating, "I said big brother, is your family rich?"
What's the use of buying so many horses?
You don't need so many horses to pull people and carry goods! Hou San'er is a talkative person, and he couldn't hide what he wanted to say, so he asked.
"yes, yes.
Big brother, tell me quickly, where you made your fortune, so that our brothers can also be happy. Zhu Dalang also agreed.
"Hey! What is said to be rich and not rich.
In the first few days, I went into the mountains, picked up a piece of sandalwood, and made a dressing box.
Yesterday when I went to the county, a noble lady fell in love with me at a glance and rewarded me with a bag of silver.
I looked, good fellow.
There were almost more than one hundred and fifty taels, and I started to think of buying an ox cart.
As a result, I was stopped by a horse dealer who asked me to see the horse, so I had no choice but to go and see it.
Not to mention, I chose one of the horses in my truth.
When he was paid, the horse dealer said, "I can give him a hundred and fifty taels of silver, and he will sell me all three horses."
When I heard that a horse was cheaper than twenty taels of silver! I had just enough in my hand, and I bought it as soon as my mind was hot.
As a result, I will be lying on my stomach today, and I will not eat forage, which makes me anxious! After saying that, he sighed.
"Alas! There was a layer of blisters in the mouth. ”
"Brother, don't get angry, I'll go to the town to find a veterinarian to take a look at the horses, maybe it rained yesterday."
"Alas! It's all my fault for being cheap, and this time I suffered a big loss. Zhang Shujun pretended to sigh and regret it.
"Since you were a child, I have taught you that if you are greedy for small gains, you will suffer big losses.
You don't believe it.
This time I suffered a loss, so I will have a long memory?
Alas! The old man pretended to sigh helplessly.
