Chapter 31 Buying a Cow
Zhang Su walked to the platform, bypassed the fleeing crowd, and delivered the letter to the bright red mailbox with the words "Dongming Post" written on it.
He remembered that the train would run every two days, and so would the postman, who would carefully sort the letters, and deliver them to Murohua's mother as soon as tomorrow night.
She must have been very happy to receive such a letter.
After delivering the letter, Zhang Su passed by the town mayor Xiaolin Muchun's house, and several young people were loading and unloading goods, packing furniture and things, and loading them into a white van, which was very difficult.
Zhang Su remembered that when he went to fight bears before, he saw a notice left by Xiaolin Muchun's grandfather at the door, and it seemed that Xiaolin's family had been the head of the town for generations.
He stopped by to take a look.
Xiao Lin Muchun was watching at the door, felt that there was someone behind him, subconsciously turned his head, only to see Zhang Su's neck, startled, raised his head to see others.
"Ahh Director Zhang! Hello hello hello! "Xiao Lin Muchun saw Zhang Su when he went up the mountain to sell chickens, and he also greeted him warmly at this time.
"Moving?" Zhang Su was curious.
There were also a few townspeople on the side, pulling a few cows and sheep from the corral and preparing to take them away.
"I don't want to leave, but looking at this situation, the gates of hell on the mountain are said to be 'opened', and the children want to sell their ranches and move to New Tokyo, and I can't stop them." Xiao Lin Muchun said helplessly.
"What about selling cows?" Zhang Su also wants to buy animals.
"Yes, yes, I'll bring it out." Mayor Kobayashi Muchun nodded, turned around and entered Kobayashi's house.
After a while, Zhang Su saw a beautiful woman walking out of the door, holding a basket of clothes in her hand.
Her hair was combed high, her eyes were dignified and low, and she wore a black veil, but she could not hide her wavy figure, and her thin branches were fruitful, and she was extraordinarily elegant and steady.
This is the mayor's cow? Zhang Su was shocked.
When the beautiful woman saw Zhang Su, she was startled for a moment, her cheeks flushed slightly, she consciously lowered her head and turned around and entered the house.
It wasn't until she went back that Zhang Su saw Xiao Lin Muchun leading the cow out of the back of the house.
"What do you think of this one? 3 years old, the first child was born a few months ago, very prosperous. "Kobayashi Muharu Road.
Zhang Su walked to the courtyard of the mayor's house and took a closer look.
It "mooed", and was strong, a black-and-white Holstein cow, well developed and clean, with only a little mud on its four hooves.
The cow's forehead is wide, its slit nostrils open and close rhythmically when it breathes, its ears swing to repel mosquitoes, it chews food as it walks, and its huge jaws move from side to side grinding hay.
It is indeed clear-eyed...... Zhang Su couldn't help but think of the beautiful woman who had just glimpsed in shock.
"Not bad. Mayor Kobayashi, may I go in and sit down? After driving down, I was a little tired. Zhang Su said.
"That's, please come in, please come in." Kobayashi Muchun nodded repeatedly.
Kobayashi Muchun was polite to Zhang Su, and always felt that Zhang Su could manage the affairs of the mountain well and assist the townspeople to resist the demons.
In this way, there is always hope for stability in Gozen Town, and there is no need to be as panicked as it is now.
Zhang Su left the robot Roy outside to help move the goods.
After entering the house, Zhang Su saw the beautiful woman in black mourning clothes again, and she was a little surprised by Zhang Su's appearance.
"Reina, don't forget the hospitality! Also, why haven't the clothes been dried yet! Kobayashi Muharu said sternly.
"Yes! It's rude. Lina turned around, walked quickly into the kitchen, and made tea for Zhang Su.
"You may be seated." Kobayashi Muharu and Zhang Su sat opposite each other at a table.
Reina doesn't seem to have a status at all, so she can only do housework in another room and can't see guests. Zhang Su felt that she had left a slight scent of jasmine and sandalwood as she walked.
"She's ......," Zhang Su asked.
"My poor child's wife, Rina Kobayashi." Kobayashi Muchun sighed, and the wrinkles on his face became more and more obvious.
Zhang Su only saw the posthumous photo on the wall now, the man on the posthumous photo was very young, it was the third son of the town mayor, Xiao Lin Shigeru, who died in the attack of demons in the wild, which was really miserable.
"I'm very sorry to bring up such a sad topic......" Zhang Su regretted.
"Please don't worry, my tears are getting less and less every day." Kobayashi Muchun shook his head, "By the way, is there still anyone recruiting in the shelter?" ”
"Recruited." Zhang Su said, "But does anyone in the family want to go up to the mountain to work?" ”
"Actually, it's Reina," Kobayashi Muharu's attitude was a little displeased, "I've eaten white food at my house for half a year, and it's time to go out and find a job." ”
"Lady Reina doesn't mean to linger here." Zhang Su said.
"A weak woman, unable to lift her hands or shoulders, unable to find a job, and really have nothing else to do except eat rice. I want to send her back to her parents' home, but I don't even want her mother's family. Xiao Lin Muchun said evilly.
Reina's existence always reminds Kobayashi Muharu of his dead son, and when he is depressed, he becomes more and more disgusted with Reina, and doesn't want her to appear in the field of vision.
Zhang Su vaguely heard Reina crying next door.
"Why didn't she want to leave Gozencho?" Zhang Su asked, "Even if you can't find a job in the countryside, there should still be some jobs in the city." ”
"I don't know." Kobayashi Muharu shook his head.
"Having said that, there is indeed a shortage of people in my place, after all, I am also a newcomer, and many things are short of manpower." Zhang Su said.
"I'm afraid she'll cause trouble for your place." Kobayashi Muharu said.
He was very worried that his family would have a grudge against Zhang Su because of what he had done, and he would rather have a good relationship with Zhang Su so that he could keep the town where he had lived for generations.
"Why don't I go talk to her, and we'll know when the time comes." Zhang Su said.
"She is clumsy, and I hope Mr. Zhang doesn't care." Kobayashi Muharu got up, "Reina! Mr. Zhang wants to see you! ”
"I'm tired." Zhang Su said politely.
"You're welcome, please sit here for a while, I'll go outside and take a look, there are too many things to move today." Kobayashi Muharu thought more about moving.
He went outside to help his children and grandchildren, and the young man's luggage was heavy and heavy, and it was difficult to have workers to help, and he had to rest after a trip or two.
After a while, Reina walked with her eyebrows lowered and walked in with her eyes down.
She knelt opposite Zhang Su, obviously a very educated, gentle and virtuous woman, as delicate as flowing water, at this time went to Luo socks, it can be seen that her feet are both delicate and round.
"I'm sorry to call you here." Zhang Su said kindly.
He wanted to pour tea for Reina, but she hurriedly reached out and poured herself tea first.
"It's so gracious, thank you very much for your reception, I saw your badge, it turned out to be the director of the shelter? I feel very honored......" Reina quickly replied.
She kept her head down, obedient and obedient, and her hands neatly rested on her laps. It was so big that Zhang Su suspected that she couldn't see her knees when she lowered her head.
"Does Lady Reina have any talents?" Zhang Su asked.
"In the past, when the town was crowded, I tried to become a teacher, but due to the declining birthrate, many elementary schools and kindergartens in nearby Echigo City closed down, and I became useless." Reina's tone was weak.
"The shelter is in need of a teacher. Moreover, Is Mrs. Reina still good at housework? Zhang Su asked.
"I'm a good cook, and if I have any chores, I'll do my best." Reina said busily.
Then she is very suitable to come to the Anxin Hospital to help. Zhang Su said secretly. Laundry, cooking, teaching...... It's so much in line with the current needs.
"If I can, I hope that Mrs. Reina will take the time to go up the mountain and have a look. It's just that the work of the shelter is quite special, and I'm afraid it won't sound good if it spreads out. Zhang Su said.
"Do I still have a reputation?" She sighed.
Zhang Su looked at Lina, she lowered her head, not daring to meet Zhang Su's gaze.
[Memory "Reina Kobayashi": A widow of the Kobayashi family, she tried to devote herself to building a happy family, but after the death of her newlywed husband, she lost her foothold and stayed in Gozen Town, and died 7 months later in the Kagurayama Rebellion]
The memory lines on her body were red, representing the omen of death, clearer than those who had gone to hunt demons just now.
"Mrs. Reina, it seems that you desperately want to stay in Gozencho? I would venture to ask, why? Zhang Su asked.
"I wanted to stay here because I wanted to see the day when the gates of hell on the mountain were closed. I want to see the demons who killed my husband...... All of them were dispersed, and none of them remained. Rena said bitterly.
"It's a distant goal, and it's hard to achieve it in the short term." Zhang Su shook his head.
"......" Reina closed her eyes in pain.
"So, move to the mountains and start your life again, you're welcome at the shelter." Zhang Su got up and walked out.
New Life ...... Reina's heart was shaken, and she couldn't help but keep up.
Zhang Su saw a few old-fashioned heavy boxes piled up in the corridor, and casually carried them outside and loaded them onto the truck.
Each box weighs more than 50 pounds, and it is difficult to carry, but Zhang Su lifted it like a flower basket.
Xiao Lin Muchun and the others were still distressed outside, not knowing how to move so many goods, and they were all surprised to see Zhang Su come out with two boxes at will, and thanked them again and again. Reina was also in a trance, which was much stronger than her frail deceased husband Shigeru Kobayashi.
"What is the approximate price of that cow, Mr. Mayor?" Zhang Su didn't catch his breath, and pointed to the cow that Xiao Lin Muchun had led before.
"Thank you for your attention, only 200,000 yen." Preferential price for small forest trees in spring.
"I bought it. Can Mrs. Reina be sent up the mountain tomorrow? Zhang Su asked.
"Of course." Kobayashi Muchun is in a good mood.
Moved in one go, sent Reina away, and sold cattle, good things occasionally come so suddenly! He hadn't been so happy in a long time.
