Chapter 44 Buying a Cow
Don't think that the matter of the Su family sending the ducklings out is over. The father and daughter still have work to do. Either they are called by this family to see their ducklings today, or they are called by another family tomorrow. Both father and daughter are busy. What is more is round and round.

If it weren't for knowing that the Su family raised a lot of chickens and ducks, even Lian would be dragged away if she had to stay at home to work.

Both the father and daughter kept no secrets, and told the villagers everything they knew about the diseases that ducks often suffer from, how to prevent and treat them, and what the ducks eat to grow fast, and the villagers were all happy.Although there were more or less deaths and injuries among the ducklings that were brought home, the total number of deaths was not many, ranging from a few to a dozen in each family, and the most family died of more than 20, not because of the sickness of the ducklings, but It was because the duck pen was too small and too crowded, and it was crushed to death.

More than 20 of them died belonged to the Liu family. For this, this society was sitting at the door scolding his daughter-in-law.

"Damn it! What evil have I done? Let my son marry such an unlucky person. Let me watch the ducks disappear from the sky. So many people died. Who will pay for the ducklings? It's not me. out."

After scolding his daughter-in-law and then scolding his son, it was really a scene for the villagers to watch.

Su Yu stood in the crowd of villagers and watched enthusiastically. She didn't expect that Mrs. Liu would scold others in a way. Her daughter-in-law didn't dare to show her anger, so she stood aside with a big belly and let her mother-in-law scold her.If it was her, she would have pumped a lot of melon seeds earlier, and she would be looking for her teeth all over the place.

After working for several days, Su Yu finally felt free, and Su Yu slept hard for two days before finally coming back to life.Then the autumn harvest came. Thinking of the eight acres of rice at home, Su Yu's scalp went numb. There was only one cart at home. How long would he be busy?
Ethnology is also on holiday, and there are three newly bought sickles at home. Due to her skin condition, Su Yu is not assigned to the job of cutting rice. Her job is to put the rice cut by the three of them on the straw rope. A bunch of them are being tied into a big bundle by the second son of Su, and the father and son are then pulled to the drying yard by a cart.

What makes Su Yu most fortunate is that her field is not far from the drying field in the village, only seven or eight minutes away, and the eight acres of land are well managed.

From Wangjiacun to Yujiacun, the family walked for eight or nine days, just a few hundred kilometers away, but the climates of the two state capitals were quite different. At this time, the rice had been harvested for two months in Wangjiacun, and in Yujiacun. The rice here has just begun to be harvested.It’s almost October now, but there’s nothing we can do about it. Xingyang Prefecture is very rainy, and the rainy season doesn’t end until October. It’s dry until April and May of the next year. After May, the rain will gradually increase. If it doesn't rain when planting rice seedlings, even if you want to plant them in advance, the people here are used to it, so it's okay.

Su Yu had many ways to help his family reduce the burden, but in ancient times, farming was a top priority. Even a small threshing method, Su Yu did not dare to come up with easily.

What makes Su Yu most happy is that she finally took over the power of cooking at home. Although the conditions at home have improved and are much better than before, Lian is still the one cooking, and Lian will not let her do it. Su Yu had no choice but to make do with it.

If Lian's cooking is not delicious, it is really not delicious, and the cooking skills are only at the level of cooking, which has nothing to do with deliciousness. However, the women's cooking skills in the village are average, and no one is willing to cook them. Money is spent on seasonings. Apart from onions, ginger, and garlic, only salt is left. How delicious can it be?

There happened to be no meat at home, so Su Yu planned to go to the town to buy groceries. Everyone in the family was busy and no one went with her.When leaving, Su Laoer specially handed over Su Yu to the village chief's wife.Yang was also going to town to buy groceries today, so it was just a matter of course to help look after Su Yu, so she agreed without much thought.

The village head's daughter-in-law, Yang Shi, also likes Su Yu very much. The little girl's eyes are big and watery, and she is cute when she looks at them.

This is the first time for Su Yu to go to town alone. Her father usually goes with her. She plans to buy more meat. She doesn't have to come to town these days, and the family is still quite busy.

In fact, the Gao family in the next village sells pork, but there are few people walking on the road to the next village, especially when the farming is busy. Su Laoer doesn't worry about his daughter being alone, it is more convenient to go to the town, and there is always room for leisure. There were many people on the road with the old man's bullock cart. Su Laoer felt relieved when he handed over his daughter to the village chief's wife.

When we got to the town, the old man and the young boy went shopping.

"Grandma Yang, what do you plan to buy?"

Normally, there is no need for Yang to go to town to buy vegetables. During this time of harvest, everyone in the family is busy, so she took over the job of going to town to buy vegetables.

"Buy some meat, and go to the grocery store to buy some seasonings, nothing else. Su Yatou, what do you want to buy?"

"It's about the same as you. I'm going to buy some meat. I don't need any seasoning. I still have a lot at home."

"Then let's go to the grocery store first, and then buy some meat."

"Listen to Grandma Yang."

The two of them went to the grocery store together. Although Su Yu didn't buy anything, his eyes were not idle. He looked around and around, but finally saw nothing. After Yang made the purchase, the two of them left the store.Walking on East Street, Su Yu's ears twitched as he was about to turn the corner. Hearing the gossip of people passing by, he couldn't help but stop.

"Su Yatou, why don't you leave?"

"Grandma Yang, wait for me, let's go over there and have a look, I seem to have heard someone talking about selling cattle."

"You kid, it doesn't matter to us whether they sell it or not. We won't buy it."

"Just go and have a look. It's still early anyway. Grandpa Yu hasn't gone back yet, so we'll just wait when we go back."

"Okay, let's go take a look. Not far from here is the cattle and horse store in the town, a place that specializes in selling cattle and horses."

Su Yu has come to the town several times, but she didn't know there was such a place, so she went to the cattle and horse shop with Yang.The Cattle and Horse Store is located at the end of East Street. It is a dead end, and people who buy and sell things will not come here. Over time, this dead end of East Street has become the Cattle and Horse Store. People who want to sell and buy cattle and horses come here.

As he walked closer, Su Yu's eyes were dazzled. Xinglin Town was just a small town, and the cattle and horse farm was not big. You could see it at a glance. There were six or seven cattle inside, and even fewer horses, only three or four.

Thinking of the eight acres of land at home, Su Yu is not interested in horses at all now. If there is a cow at home, it will save a lot of effort.

After the autumn harvest, we must plant winter wheat as soon as possible. The season waits for no one. We have cattle at home, so it is convenient for us to plow the fields.

Thinking about this, Su Yu walked towards the one she liked. She took a fancy to this cow as soon as she came over. The cow was not very old, about two years old. The horns were parallel, the body was wide and the hips were square. A cow like this would be the best in the future. It can be longer.

Su Yu was short and wanted to see if the cow's teeth were in good condition, so he had to look at the owner of the cow aside.

"Uncle, could you please show me the teeth of this cow?"

The cow seller is a black-faced man.

"You know a lot, little girl. You even know to look at the teeth of a cow."

"That's right, I know a lot."

"Okay, I'll let you see."

The man thought to himself, if he is idle now, he is also idle, since no one is there anyway.

The man pulled the cow's lower lip with his upper hand to reveal the cow's teeth.

"Four pairs of teeth, less than three years old, just when it can be used. If the family didn't need money, I wouldn't be willing to sell this cow."

When the cow seller mentioned this, he was taken aback, why was he talking about this to a little girl.

"Uncle, how do you sell this cow?"

"What's the matter, do you want to buy it?"

"Talk about the price first, and I'll listen to it."

Yang was taken aback and pulled Su Yu aside.

"Su Yatou, we don't know if the cow is good or not, we'd better go back first and let your father come and have a look."
