Chapter 21: Patch and Patch Clothes
Mrs. Chen held a long stick, pointed to the place where the rain was leaking, and at the same time scolded endlessly, scolding the tabby female cat at home so that she didn't dare to go back to the house.
Everyone in Yaojia Village knows that the relationship between the people of the old Yao family is complicated, and the dogs and cats raised are also a must in the village.
The spotted dog is honest and honest in appearance, but in fact loves to fight, and the dogs in the village respect him as king.
The tabby cat usually looks lazy and sleepy, in fact, it is in a fake sleep, if the mouse comes out of the hole, it is generally difficult to escape its claws, and if it escapes, even if it goes to the house to uncover the tiles, track and guard the hole, it will be caught.
It is a good cat with all its dedication, and the only bad thing is that it goes to the house to remove the tiles, which causes the roof of the house to leak frequently, and the roof that was just overhauled a few days ago leaks again.
Mrs. Chen's scolding, old Uncle Yao heard it clearly, he called Yao Zhiqiang to the room and discussed with him about selling cats.
The town is on the third, sixth, and ninth days, and tomorrow is the twenty-third day of the first month, which is the day of the polder, so let Yao Zhiqiang take the cat to sell again.
Yao Zhiqiang shook his head, he couldn't sell this cat, his grandfather asked for a high price, and the food he bought was too expensive, and he wanted to buy it to catch mice, and he suspected that it was not a good cat.
Old Uncle Yao actually didn't want to sell it, this is a scarce breed of cat, with a beautiful coat, like a little tiger, with it, not even the shadow of a mouse can be seen in the house.
However, it can't change its bad habit of going to the house to uncover the tiles, and even if there are no mice in the house, it even dares to provoke the silver snake outside the house.
Last time, he took a silver krait snake with a head in his mouth, and went back to the house to ask for credit from his master, which frightened Mrs. Chen and yelled to kill it.
It's a pity that this cat was killed, and Old Yao Bo still wants it to give birth to offspring and continue this rare cat breed.
It has been released into the wild several times, and it has been recovered, but it is impossible to stay and continue to let it go to the house to uncover the tiles, and this old house cannot withstand its toss.
The price is set high in the hope that it will meet its owner who appreciates it and will not be bought back to eat.
Old Uncle Yao sighed, he didn't want to hear Mrs. Chen's scolding again, he made up his mind: "I'll sell it tomorrow!" As long as it's not bought to eat, the price is lower! ”
Yao Zhiqiang shook his head again: "I sold it a few times, and everyone in the town knows me, and the rumors of our cat's house opening have spread, who will buy it?" ”
Old Uncle Yao continued to sigh, he couldn't sell it, did he really want to kill it?
Yao Zhiqiang said to his grandfather: "Otherwise, I will take Qiuqiu to sell it tomorrow, and she will sell the cat if she is alive." ”
Old Uncle Yao nodded in agreement, and repeatedly told Yao Zhiqiang to keep an eye on his sister, the market was crowded, don't lose your sister.
At dinner, Yao Zhiqiang told his grandmother about selling cats, saying that grandpa meant to let the noodles Qiuqiu sell them.
Liu Chunhua muttered in her heart, if this cat can't be sold, it will be killed and eaten, and it can't be sold several times, and the labor is wasted.
Mrs. Chen doesn't think so, she won't let go of all opportunities to exchange money, the countrymen are simple, and they think that eating cat meat is a sin.
She instructed Xiao Qiulan: "Be smart, just say that cats are good cats, because there are patients at home, and they don't have money to buy medicine, so pretend to be pitiful and sell them for a few more dollars!" ”
Xiao Qiulan nodded, and secretly laughed that this old lady was also funny, and even made up lies for her.
This was her second trip to town, as she had to rush early and get her clothes ready in the evening.
Rummaging through all her clothes, her head was covered with black lines, and every patch was patched and patched, too old to be any older.
Look at Xiao Donglan, her clothes are obviously a little better than hers.
The clothes of the poor people are all worn by the elder sister and then worn by the younger sister.
Although Xiao Qiulan is an older sister, her body is not as tall as Xiao Donglan, and the clothes worn by the eldest sister are naturally worn by Xiao Donglan, and then worn by Xiao Qiulan, it is strange that it is not a patch and a patch.
