Chapter 367 I just called him a donkey, not a disease!
The mule owner was so thirsty from talking that he was also wondering in his heart, this group of people looked at his animal for the second time, of course, they didn't just look at his animal;
I've watched this movie twice, and you can tell that his voice is the best. Why is he still acting lukewarm?
He asked tentatively: "Brother, what do you think of my mule?"
In fact, it goes without saying that he must have looked quite satisfied, but Shen Zhiqiu showed no sign of it.
Old Lady Hua and several other old ladies would run to the other side from time to time to look at other mules.
"It's OK, but the price of your mule is not worth it."
The boss looked clear-headed. He knew that Shen Zhiqiu and his group wanted to bargain, but he had been in the livestock trade for many years, so how could he compromise so easily?
He said, "It's expensive because my animals are worth it. Just look around and see who has more promising mules than these two."
Gao the Hunter pretended to be angry and annoyed, and used harsh words to ridicule him: "No matter how good your mule is, it's useless. You are expensive.
Believe it or not, I can buy two donkeys for this price! My two donkeys are not as good as your mule? Besides, donkeys can give birth to babies. "
He even deliberately said to Shen Zhiqiu: "Xiao Sanzi, let's not look at the mule, it can't give birth, let's choose the donkey, after all, four donkeys are better than two mules."
The mule owner was originally full of confidence, but these few words poured cold water on him. He had previously thought that his mules were the best, so what was wrong with selling them at a higher price?
Although the two mules were several days old, everyone left when they asked about the price. In his eyes, this was a lack of knowledge of the value of the mules.
But what Gao Liehu said today made it clear to him.
Mules are better than donkeys, and it is fine if they are a little more expensive. But if your mule is two taels more expensive than other mules, the price can almost buy two donkeys, and it will be really hard to sell.
Finally, with the intentional or unintentional help of Lao He, Shen Zhiqiu bought two mules for twenty-five taels, two cows for thirty-four taels, and a donkey for seven taels.
When they returned home, Shen Zhiqiu and his friends were given a warm welcome, even warmer than when Grandma Hua and his friends first went to set up their stall.
This is what happened. From a distance, we could see Grandpa Shen being held by Old Man Shen and Doctor Guo on each arm, but that didn't stop him from opening his hands as if to hug them. He ran towards Shen Zhiqiu and the others, shouting, "Little Sanzi, Little Sanzi."
Shen Zhiqiu quickly jumped off the cart. Since he now had animals to pull the cart, the way back was quite leisurely for him, so he drove the ox cart himself.
He handed the reins to Shen Dabao, intending to run a few steps forward to catch Grandpa, but he didn't want the old man to run too fast and fall. He complained, "Grandpa, please slow down. It's only been a day since we last met. Will it be...?"
But before he could finish, he saw Master Shen, who was calling "Xiao Sanzi" with red eyes, walk straight past him and hug the big yellow cow.
Shen Zhiqiu was very upset: "You call Lao Niu Xiao Sanzi?"
Not only Mr. Shen, but other old men and men also went straight to the newly bought animals.
The women were better. They and the little girls behaved more reservedly, standing at the gate on the hill, smiling and looking around.
But many of the old men and strong laborers had tears in their eyes.
But even though he complained, he could fully understand how everyone felt when they saw these animals.
Mr. Shen was holding the cow and kept shouting, "Is this the animal we bought ourselves?"
Shen Zhiqiu nodded quickly: "Grandpa, it's ours."
The old man burst into tears. He stopped holding the cow and covered his face with his wrinkled hands, crying and whimpering. He spoke unclearly, "Finally, finally, our clan... has... our own livestock... woooo..."
Father Shen touched the ox's soft fur with a trembling hand, his eyes reddened, "Yes, we have our own livestock again."
The little kids were also jumping and clapping their hands: "We bought another cow! We bought another cow!"
Shen Xingyun: "There is also a little donkey."
Shen Yuanbao: "This mule is really tall!"
Shen Luming was the only one who looked disappointed. Shen Zhiqiu noticed this and walked over to hug his son: "What's wrong?"
Shen Luming's eyes were red, tears welling up in them: "There is no horse."
This one sentence almost broke the originally calm Shen Zhiqiu's defense, and made Li Jingshu and Shen Youyou go too far at the same time.
They all knew that Shen Luming was missing his grandfather again.
Shen Zhiqiu leaned his big head against Shen Luming's small head, his eyes a little red, and he said, "Son, when dad saves some money, I will definitely buy back those lost horses."
Shen Youyou's eyes also turned red. She knew that her father was saying this to comfort her brother, but the lost horses could not be brought back...
But they are still alive, so we have to move on.
But buying livestock is a joyful thing.
After getting his father's assurance, Shen Luming quickly returned to normal, and went to watch the livestock with his brothers and sisters, laughing and joking.
Especially the little donkey, because of its small size, it is the most popular among children. Shen Zhidong directly put the children on the donkey's back one by one, and took turns riding the donkey for fun.
The cattle sheds of the Jiu clans were all built when the houses were built. They were not simple wooden frames, but had rammed earth walls covered with thick thatch.
However, the front part of the rammed earth wall was only half-finished, so that the back part could block the wind.
Several strong laborers cleaned the barn diligently and even cleaned the barn trough that had been built earlier.
They also spread thick layers of hay in the barn and showed 100% enthusiasm for these animals.
The barn that contained the old cow that Mr. Meng had left behind had always been kept very clean. After returning, he cleaned the cow and the other animals one by one.
However, the animals in their family are very lucky. Since they have few animals but many barns, each of the six animals can be allocated an independent room.
Shen Youyou also heard Shen Nannan pulling Shen Luming and asking, "Lulu, do you think the little donkey is scared to live in a house by himself?"
As a result, Shen Luming really thought about it seriously. Maybe it was because he remembered that he had his own room, but he had been sleeping in his parents' room until now. He nodded seriously and said:
"Why don't we go talk to Grandpa Li and ask him to find a big animal to keep the little donkey company."
But in the end, the little donkey couldn't understand the good intentions of the two people at all. No matter what they said, he was not willing to squeeze in with other animals. He kept muttering in his heart:
"Thank you so much, I won't stay in the private room, but insist on sleeping in the dormitory. I'm just a donkey, not a disease!"
Although the little donkey was not very grateful, the other little ones really liked it and each of them insisted on carrying a small bamboo basket to pick the freshest wild grass for it to eat.
When I came back, my little head was sweating from exhaustion, but I enjoyed it so much!
