Chapter 26: Buying Cattle Turmoil
"Big, I can't borrow the cow every day, I'm tired and thin, I still expect it to give birth to calves, and raise a few more to sell in the future."
At the uncle's house, Brother Luo Xueyang in the lobby complained to his father with a sad face.
Luo Shitang took a few puffs of dry tobacco and knocked the head of the cigarette pot on the upper of his shoe, and the soot flew and spilled everywhere.
Luo Xueyang smiled bitterly: "Da Yo, why don't you smoke the cigarettes that the leaves give you, look at this mess, you will run around as soon as you sweep away the ashes, you will smoke at home, and no one will rob you." ”
"Cigarettes are kept for guests, I'm used to smoking dry tobacco." Luo Shitang said lightly, "When you were dividing cattle from the brigade at the beginning of the year, you borrowed money from your uncle and brother, why do you want to turn your face and deny favors now that the money has been repaid?" ”
Luo Xueyang said helplessly: "If everyone borrows cows, they are all like leaves, as a good greeting for their own family, and they are fed and drunk when they are used up, who will not borrow them?" But those guys are really ruthless, and I can't wait to finish plowing a few buckets of land after a while, because livestock are not machines, and they will be tired. ”
"After this period of work, the seedlings have been planted and the beans have been ordered, and there are few borrowed cows." Luo Shitang said, "When the time comes, you can take care of it." ”
Luo Xueyang sighed for a long time: "This is not a thing, alas, why should we go to Luopo's old Luo family to be poor, and if there are more cattle in a few more households, we must not worry about my family." ”
At this time, Luo Tao hurriedly ran into the house: "Big, big, the third brother came back with a cow, I heard that it was bought from Lei Chong Daji." ”
"Who?" Luo Xueyang asked in surprise.
"Third Brother Leaves."
Luo Shihe couldn't sit still, threw away his cigarette stick, and walked towards the door with a brisk walk.
Luo Xueyang was stunned in place, his mouth was opened, and he finished speaking, so smart?
When the father and son ran to Luo Xueyun's house, there were many people around the door, and the old and young masters all came to see the freshness, and even the only remaining generation, Luo Xueyun's young master, came.
The young man Luo Erfeng is almost old, with a thin body, a beard, and a crutche, but his spirit is good.
"Hewa, buying cattle home is imported by Tianding, why don't you let off the cannon?"
Father Luo was in pain and happy, and while looking at the big black cow with his eyes, he said aggrievedly: "Uncle, I don't know, who knew that the second baby quietly invited the cow home, and did not prepare firecrackers." ”
When the young man heard this, he was thoughtful, and immediately smiled: "Third brother, go and bring the remaining firecrackers and put them off." ”
When his third son heard this, he called his son again, and took a small firecracker and lit it, which crackled and exploded at the door.
"A few brothers of the old Luo family, or the grandson of the sixth brother, the two big buffaloes were bought by their brothers, leaves, this cow is still weak, raise it for a few more days, the spirit is better, and the meat will be called again."
Luo Xueyun responded when he heard this.
The grandfather looked around and watched the lively men, women and children, all of whom were the descendants of his grandfather, and they were a very close family, so he didn't hide it.
"Back then, my grandfather took my eldest three brothers uphill to open up the wasteland, it was indeed because they couldn't live under the mountain, but the old Luo family was not born poor, now is a new era, the children of the Luo family have to learn from Yang Er and the leaves brothers, jump and run more, and make money to live a good life.
Even if it's hard this year, you should save money to buy a buffalo next year and the year after that. ”
As soon as these words came out, the scene was suddenly silent, two or three hundred yuan to buy cattle is not a small amount, in addition to planting some rice, wheat, soybeans and sweet potatoes can be sold seriously for some money, whether it is raising chickens, ducks and pigs, the effect is very slow, and it is easy to discount the cost.
Luo Xueyun, who was smoking and sharing sugar one by one, didn't expect the scene to be so deserted, it stands to reason that no matter whether he can afford it or not, he will never lose a piece of meat in two sentences of flattery.
The young man snorted and said angrily: "I'm dumb, I don't save money to buy cattle, I'm waiting to borrow someone else's yes, I borrow it when I'm busy, and I don't have to raise it myself when I'm free!" ”
"Uncle, it's not worth being angry, let's do this, if we can't afford it, we will get together with a few brothers, and strive for each brother to raise one together, so that when the farm is busy, the buffalo can't be busy."
Luo Shicheng, who spoke, was the boss of the division, and after he agreed, the others naturally agreed.
This made Luo Xueyun quite surprised, he thought that after the villagers saw him buy cattle, they would try their best to pull the relationship to facilitate the borrowing of cattle, but he didn't expect the respected master to help him cut off this trend in advance, and also took the opportunity to let the families quickly save money to buy cattle.
After watching the excitement, everyone dispersed, and Luo Shitang and his son approached Daoxi, looked at the cow, and left after chatting a few words.
Back in the house, Luo Shitang solemnly called his son to his side.
"In two days, you will bring something to see your uncle."
"Ah, didn't you just see the uncle, what do you bring with you every year?"
Luo Shitang glanced at his son and said, "There is still a time to visit the elders, and if I tell you to go, you will go." ”
"Don't be angry, big, I have to ask what I'm going to do, I can't sell benches at my uncle's house when the time comes."
"You also know the situation of your uncle's family, except for a few pieces of land divided by the public, there are not even a few chickens and ducks, the roots of the tree have been almost dug out for marriage, and the leaves can buy cattle on their own."
"You're saying that the leaves are all made from selling vegetables?"
"Every time he comes to borrow a cow, Ye'er is the most generous, either bringing candy to Wei'er, or bringing me cigarettes, and the tractor goes into the city every day, not the money he makes from selling vegetables, where does he go to mix so fast, he can afford to buy a buffalo in less than half a year, that's not thirty or fifty."
Luo Xueyang said tentatively: "You mean to let me learn to grow vegetables with him?" ”
"Yes."
Luo Xueyang had a toothache: "How can you speak this." ”
"Knock knock."
The head of the cigarette pot knocked on the table, as if he was issuing a stern warning, Luo Xueyang's spirit was shocked, and he only listened to his father's shouting.
"I only have one son of yours, the three sons of your uncle's family are no different from your own brothers, in the future, Liu Er Gui'er will marry out, and the three brothers closest to you in Huanggang, you have to help them if they have something, and you have to call them if you have something, understand?"
Luo Xueyang was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "But my aunt doesn't seem to like me very much, even if I go, the leaves can promise to take me, it's better to raise and sell cattle honestly." ”
"Confused, when will it take to raise cattle to make a profit, your daughter-in-law will give birth next year, if the commune is fined, will you sell the cattle? Having said that, your aunt is your aunt, your brother is your brother, you can't be confused, I don't think the leaves are stingy. ”
Speaking of which, Luo Xueyang still couldn't make up his mind, the eldest mother's dislike was just a reason, the root of it was that he, as the eldest brother, couldn't easily adjust his mentality, bowed to his younger brother, and begged others to take him to make money.
Seeing him like this, Luo Shitang scolded: "Don't think that if you study for two more years, you will be too old to be too old, if you want to, I will go by myself!" ”
"Don't, let me think again."
Luo Xueyang really hesitated for two days, until someone from the village measured and demarcated the homestead for Luo Xueyun and learned that he was going to build a brick house on the head of Luo Po, that he woke up and hurriedly went to Luo Xueyun's house with Daoxi and help.
But the time was too late, and someone had already taken the lead.
"The Five are here."
Luo Xueyang secretly complained to himself, this competitor is really terrible, I'm afraid he has no qualifications to compare with him.
Wu Lao Luo Shixin thumped his right leg, raised his head and smiled: "Yang Er is also here." ”
"Well, I've heard that the leaves are going to build a house, let's see if I can help."
If he hadn't seen the gift he was carrying, I'm afraid Luo Xueyun would have thought that Brother Lobby was here to help, but now in this situation, a sheep is being released, and a group of sheep is also being driven, so let's just talk together.
"Big brother, sit."
