Chapter 57: Buying Goat's Milk
At night.
"Woohoo!" Several dog barks rang out over the silent night.
Qiao Xuan and Xi He stood in front of a wooden door and knocked, "Squeak!" With a bang, the wooden door was pulled open from the inside.
"I thought you weren't coming!"
Hu Hansan showed a happy smile when he saw Qiao Xuan, after he came back during the day, he had been worried that this girl would not come, don't make fun of him, let him be happy in vain.
"How come, it's all said, it's definitely coming" Qiao Xuan said with a smile, and followed Hu Hansan into the courtyard, Xi He followed behind her.
Then the candlelight from the house can be seen that the courtyard of the Hu family is cleaned and sorted out very fairly, and there is a small wooden house made of wood in the corner of the wall.
The wolf dog during the day was chained around its neck at this time, and it squatted in front of the small house and roared at Qiao Xuan and Xi He.
Qiao Xuan waved his hand at it, and Xi He couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth when he saw her childish behavior.
"Boss, this is the person you said was going to buy a puppy, right? It's really coming, I thought you were coaxed by someone else. β
A woman came out of the room and said with a hearty smile, looking at Qiao Xuan and Xi He with a pair of eyes.
Soon she recognized Qiao Xuan, "Huh? Isn't this the village chief of Taoyuan Village! β
"It's me!" Qiao Xuan nodded, "What about the puppy?" Can I take a look first? β
"Here, here," the woman greeted warmly.
The news of Taoyuan Village building roads and hiring people for fifty yuan per person per day spread all over the nearby villages, and she thought that Qiao Xuan must be a generous person, and when she took a fancy to the puppy, she could ask her for a few more yuan.
Hu Hansan took a candle out of the house, and the three little dogs in the firewood room curled up together, and the sudden light made one of them open his little eyes.
"Just these three, it's been less than a month."
The woman crouched down and rudely rubbed the other two puppies, who were not yet awake, and the two puppies reluctantly opened their eyes.
"I haven't been weaned for a month, right?"
Qiao Xuan had no resistance to the cute little animals, and his heart was already happy, but when he saw Hu Han's third daughter-in-law, she looked like she was looking at a lamb to be slaughtered, and deliberately pretended to be cold.
"Yesβ"
"Weaned! Weaned! This is born by a big wolf dog," Hu Hansan's words didn't finish speaking, and his daughter-in-law rushed to say, for fear that Qiao Xuan would want to keep the dog in their house for a while longer.
Hu Hansan pursed his lips and glared at his daughter-in-law who was making up nonsense, obviously the puppy was still feeding, and he wanted to lie.
"How much does one cost?"
Qiao Xuan carefully picked up each one, knocked it down, straightened up and looked at the woman and asked.
"It's not expensive! Twenty wen. β
The woman said with a smile, and Hu Hansan's eyes beside her suddenly glared at the boss, Twenty Wen? Does his mother-in-law really dare to say it? Sky-high asking price.
The light smile on Qiao Xuan's face disappeared, and she turned to Xi He and said, "Let's go!" β
The two said they would leave, and there was no superfluous word.
Hu Hansan's mother-in-law was dumbfounded, she was willing to take out the money for road construction in 50 yuan, and the dog in 20 yuan was unwilling to buy it, why was this so picky?
Seeing that Qiao Xuan and Xi He were going to go away, Hu Hansan hurriedly shouted, "Wait, wait, don't be in a hurry, the price can be discussed!" β
"I came here at night to buy a dog sincerely, and the eldest sister is purely treating me as a wronged person! Forget it, I can't afford it, I'll ask if someone else has it tomorrow. β
Qiao Xuan stopped and turned around and said.
"Oops! Whatever Village Chief Qiao said, you can spend fifty yuan to hire someone to build the road, such a cute little dog is not willing to buy twenty yuan, I think it is expensive, this dog is a wolf dog. β
Hu Han's third daughter-in-law pursed her lips and pretended to be generous, "Forget it, let's discuss it again!" Fifteen Wen, Fifteen Wen is okay? β
Qiao Xuan was almost laughed at, during the day, Hu Hansan also said that he looked at it with two articles and one penny, but it doubled several times at night.
"Five cents is the most, if it doesn't work, forget it!"
Don't try to take advantage of her, she is not short of money but she is not stupid.
Hu Han's third daughter-in-law gritted her teeth, a little reluctant, and the difference between her expectations and her expectations was a bit big.
"Okay! Five is five, which one do you want? Hu Hansan agreed, he was afraid that his daughter-in-law would not even have Wuwen if he stirred up the peace again.
Qiao Xuan walked back at this time, "I want all three!" It's going to be taken now. β
"Cheng" Hu Hansan took out a tattered basket from the corner, picked up the three puppies in the firewood room and threw them in.
Qiao Xuan took out fifteen wen from his sleeve, counted it twice, and handed it to the third daughter-in-law of Hu Han, who was staring at her.
Hu Han's third daughter-in-law's enthusiasm was no longer there, and she took the money with a calm face.
The big wolf dog tethered in the corner felt something and began to bark loudly.
"Don't worry! I'll take good care of your little cub," Qiao Xuan said after taking a few steps closer with the basket in his arms.
By the time the two of them returned to Taoyuan Village from Qingfeng Village, Xi Yan had already made a small nest out of her old clothes to sleep on the puppy.
"How did you buy three? Wouldn't it be a bit much? She said in surprise when she saw the puppy.
"Not much, not much, how good it is for the three to be lively, and when they grow up in the future, they can watch the house, and the bad guys don't dare to come to the door when they hear their shouts."
Qiao Xuan smiled and put the basket on the ground, looked at Xi He and asked, "What should I name them?" β
Xi He squatted down, "Qiao Fugui, Qiao Laicai, Qiao Jinbao?" β
"Poof, hahaha" Qiao Xuan and Xi Yan laughed at the same time, but it was a very rich name with a deep meaning.
"Yes, yes, anyway, the main one is rich, wealthy, and treasure."
After laughing enough, Qiao Xuan said, "You will be rich in the future, you will be rich in the future, and you will be Jinbao." β
The three little puppies are also very recognizable, Fugui's left ear is white, Laicai's right ear is white, and the top of Jinbao's head is white.
The next morning, Qiao Xuan went to Li Yue's house.
"What's the matter with the village chief looking for me? Come over so early," Li Yuehu asked suspiciously.
Qiao Xuan pointed to a sheep grazing in the yard, "I want to buy some goat's milk." β
"Yes!" Li Yue yawned, walked back to the house, and brought out a bowl, which was already milked goat's milk.
"Can I book half a month?" Qiao Xuan thought about it, although the three puppies were very strong, they might grow better if they drank more milk and nutrition.
Li Yue was stunned, "Half a month? Village chief, who in your family drinks milk? β
"I bought three puppies less than a month old and gave them to drink," Qiao Xuan explained, paused and added: "Fifty Wen, I order half a month, can I have a big bowl a day?" β
"That's too good!"
Wuwen was like a key that opened Li Yue's heart, and immediately nodded and agreed, no matter if she is a dog and a person, it is easy to say that anyone can drink when the money is in place.
