Leisure time of raising children

Chapter 559 Buying a Mule

While walking and looking at the stalls on the side of the road, Lin Wanjiao couldn't help but bought one delicious food after another.

After just a few steps, Lin Wanjiao's hands were full of things. One hand held candied haws, and the other held a bun.

Lin Wanjiao took a mouthful of candied haws, which were sweet and sour, and she ate very happily.

As a girl, no matter how tough she looks on the outside and how stubborn she is on the inside, she still likes sweet things.

When she was young, she also liked sweet things like marshmallows and toffees. When she was in kindergarten, she rarely ate such things as marshmallows and toffees.

Basically the dean, grandma would occasionally leave two candies for each kid on the dinner plate when everyone was having lunch.

Other than that, there's almost no time for sugar.

Later, Lin Wanjiao grew bigger and bigger, and the busy life made her almost unable to stop. There was no time to rest, and she ate less and less sugar.

This is not because she doesn't like sugar when she grows up, but because she has more worries when she grows up.

Lin Wanjiao bit off a candied haws in one bite, something sweet spread out of her mouth again.

Lin Wanjiao suddenly thought of An An, and a sweet feeling flooded into Lin Wanjiao's heart in an instant.

At the same time, there were not only Wang Xiulan, Lin Ran, and Shen Fang in the old Lin family on the street.

Today, Lin Shouyi and Lin Mingyong are also in town. These days, Wang Xiulan has earned some money by selling dough. After removing the principal, there is still some left over for her daughter-in-law and Lin Wanjiao. It was not enough before. They do a lot of things.

The family was really busy, so Wang Xiulan discussed with Lin Shouyi and planned to go to the town to buy a livestock to be responsible for pulling things.

At the beginning, Wang Xiulan and Lin Shouyi discussed that they planned to buy a cow, and the price was a bit high for a cow that was honest and old enough to work hard.

The two of them thought about buying a mule. The mule has tenacious vitality and strong disease resistance. It has a strong physique, strong limbs and hooves, and it is easy to feed. Usually, they just beat some Dongxie and feed it to the mule.

But the only bad thing about mules is that their reproductive ability is not very good.

But Wang Xiulan and Lin Shouyi chatted and felt that it didn't matter whether the reproductive ability was good or not, and their family didn't need to buy a donkey and give a small mule as a gift.

The main reason is that if you buy a cow, the price of the cow is slightly higher than that of the mule. Wang Xiulan thinks that the function of the mule is similar to that of the cow.

My family is not a wealthy family, and I don't want to buy a cow for a few taels of silver to keep at home.

After thinking about it, the two announced the matter at the dinner table in the evening.

As soon as this idea was uttered at that time, it was approved by all the family members.

Originally, Wang Xiulan planned to buy a mule for the family with his own money, but she just said that the family wanted to buy a mule.

Lin Zhi, Shen Fang, Lin Mingyong and Lin Mingjie, who were sitting at the table to eat today, looked at each other, and said that they would give money to help Wang Xiulan buy a better mule.

When the two of them talked at first, Wang Xiulan looked a little surprised, but it was enough for the two daughters-in-law to have this kind of heart, and now she was rich enough to afford a mule.

The two daughter-in-laws of my family don't have much money at home, so I only have what I gave them before.

One family has a son, and the other has a son in the stomach. They have saved so much money in total. It is better to let them save it for themselves and wait to subsidize the family later.

"Mom, our whole family used the mule together. You can't pay for the mule alone. Now my daughter-in-law has a little money in her hand. Although she can't buy a whole mule, she can't afford it alone. I can still raise some money with my mother." Shen Fang said seriously, Wang Xiulan was really kind to daughter-in-laws like herself.Daughters-in-law like them are indispensable if they can eat meat at home.

Like someone else's mother-in-law, not to mention eating meat for her daughter-in-law, she has no way to save some private money.If the mothers-in-law of the people in the village found out that their daughter-in-law was hiding private money without telling them, the couple would fight fiercely.

It's not like their mother-in-law not only ignored them, but also gave them money.

Although the image of her mother-in-law was a little more aggressive outside, Shen Fang felt that she was from the village and didn't know Wang Xiulan very well, otherwise she would never have said so.

"Yes, mother, my sister-in-law is right. We still need to buy this mule together. As long as you pay for it yourself, mother, it is really unfair for our whole family to use it together. I also have some in my pocket. Money, although I can’t say how much, but it’s still possible to do some meager efforts.”

Lin Zhi on the other side had the same idea. Her mother-in-law had that wish, so they naturally supported it with her heart.

He said that at least the money was paid for other things, and Lin Mingyong and Lin Mingjie's faces were radiant when they used the mule.

Both of them were willing to pay to help Wang Xiulan buy a mule together.

Wang Xiulan could see that when the two daughter-in-laws said these words, they didn't mean to be perfunctory to her. They really wanted to help her pay for the mule.

Wang Xiulan thought about it and looked at Lin Shouyi who was beside her.

At this moment, Lin Shouyi was glowing with joy.Obviously, he is still very happy about the move of adding two daughters-in-law and two sons just now.

Seeing his wife turn his eyes towards him, Lin Shouyi nodded slightly at Wang Xiulan.

He said yes, and asking his two daughters-in-law to contribute money can be regarded as their contribution to the family.

The husband and wife had a tacit understanding for decades, and seeing Lin Shouyi nodding to her, Wang Xiulan understood what Lin Shouyi meant when she went there.

"It's a good thing that you have such intentions. I, a mother-in-law, can't stop me. You can pay as much as you want for the mule. Don't force yourself to pay as much as you want."

"Mother, don't worry. We still know about this." Lin Zhi and Shen Fang nodded together.

After this matter was finished, everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

While eating, all the people had happy smiles on their faces. Finally, their family could buy a mule.

With an extra running animal at home, there is no need to wait for a bullock cart when going to town in the future.

There is no one in the family who can run away. Someone is sick and needs to borrow it. It is troublesome to go back and forth.

Now that the family has a mule, they will not have to worry about these things in the future.

When the field is not busy, the crops at home are also pulled by mules.
