Leisure time of raising children

Chapter 710
"Little girl, why are you asking this? Do you know anyone from Lao Qing's family?" Another old woman asked Lin Wanjiao while eating sunflower seeds, apparently wanting to hear gossip.

Lin Wanjiao twitched the corners of her mouth, as expected, no village could do without such gossip-loving people.

"No, I'm from the next door village. I heard that Lao Qing's family is going to sell horses. It just so happens that our family is short of a horse, so I want to visit their house."

Lin Wanjiao hurriedly explained, but these old men and women should not be allowed to think too much.

Otherwise, within half a day, the whole village should have spread the word.

Although she is from the next village, others don't know who she is, and the disaster can't be blamed on her.

But we are here to buy horses, and we can't ruin other people's reputation just because we buy one.

"So it's like this. There are quite a lot of people who come to Lao Qing's house to buy horses these days. But Lao Qing's horses are not cheap. There are several people who want to buy them, but they are not willing to buy them because of the price."

There was an old man who obviously knew the ins and outs of this matter, he nodded clearly.

"Then girl, go quickly. If you go late, someone else will buy the horse." This old lady not only likes to gossip, she is also a warm-hearted person.

"That shouldn't be so fast. Didn't you hear him say that the horses sold by Lao Qing's family are expensive? You said that they are all the same horses. He sold them for a few taels of silver more than others. We country people are willing to spend more money. "

"..."

The old man and grandmother got together, and there was obviously a new topic.

"Thank you, everyone, then I'll go first."

Seeing that they finally took their curious eyes away from her, Lin Wanjiao hurriedly thanked the old lady and ran away.

Following the route that the old lady just said, Lin Wanjiao successfully found the house where Lao Qing's family was.

But what surprised Lin Wanjiao was that their house had closed the door early in the morning.

Didn't the old man just say that many people want to buy horses?Why is their house so deserted now?
Lin Wanjiao raised her hand and knocked on the door,
"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong, is anyone in the room?"

"Who is it?" A woman's voice came from inside the room.

"Hello, I heard that your family is going to sell horses, I want to take a look, is that okay?"

"I'm here to buy horses! Wait a minute, I'll open the door right away."

As soon as this sentence fell, Lin Wanjiao heard heavy footsteps coming from the room.

"Creak." With a sound, the door was pushed open.

The person who opened the door was a handsome woman who looked quite old, probably in her 40s or [-]s.

"Are you here to buy a horse?"

As soon as the woman opened the door, she saw a young girl in front of her with a lady's bun on her hair, and asked in surprise.

It's not that she looked down on the little girl. Those who bought horses before were almost all middle-aged men or gray-haired old men who came with their grandchildren.

This was the first time I saw such a young married woman asking about buying a horse.

"Yes, my aunt, can I go in and have a look?"

"Of course you can. I don't think you are very old, girl. Just call me Auntie Caifeng."

Aunt Caifeng waved her hand at Lin Wanjiao, motioning for them to enter the room.

Although looking at the appearance of this little girl, she may not be able to buy a horse.

But the visitor is a guest, and what should be entertained should be entertained.

Alas, when will the horse at home be sold.

I don't know what the old man is thinking, it's fine to sell the good horse at home to others at the market price.

He insisted on saying that the horse at home was raised so well by him, how could those horses in the town sell for the same price as his own horse.

I have to sell three liang of silver more than others. Looking at it now, I have come back and forth to look at the horses. They think the horses are very good, and the ones that are fat and strong are just three liang of silver more. As a result, no family is willing to pay. Pay and take away.

"Come with me, the horse is tied in the backyard. But girl, I told you in advance that our horse is more expensive than other horses. But although our horse is expensive, it is true to raise it good!"

Aunt Caifeng said as she walked.

"As long as the horse raised by my aunt's family is worth the price. I mainly look at the horse. If the horse is good, the price is a little higher, and I don't mind."

Lin Wanjiao smiled slightly.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Although Aunt Caifeng still didn't believe that this little girl would buy horses, she felt a little more at ease when she heard her say no.

The railing of Aunt Caifeng’s house was built in the backyard, and as soon as I walked over, I could see two tall horses wandering around the railing.

Both horses were black, except that one was a solid black horse with a little white on the tail of the other.

From a distance, both horses are handsome.

"These two horses were taken care of by our family. If our family hadn't moved, the house wasn't that big and couldn't accommodate two horses. The old man wouldn't be willing to sell one of them."

While talking, Aunt Caifeng pointed to the horse with white fur on its tail and showed it to Lin Wanjiao, "That horse is for sale. How about it? Doesn't it look good?"

Lin Wanjiao followed her to the railing and looked up.

With her eyesight, of course she could see that this horse was very strong, and as Wang Xiulan said, this old horse named Lao Qing really had a way of raising horses.

"It's a nice horse, Auntie, can you open the door and let me go in and have a look?"

Lin Wanjiao still wanted to go over and take a closer look since she was too far away to observe closely.

"Okay! Of course you can."

The horse at home is well domesticated, as long as no one will hurt it rashly, the horse will not kick people casually.

So Aunt Caifeng opened the door very readily and let Lin Wanjiao in.

"Sister, let me introduce you. The old horse of our family saw a little white on his tail, so he named him Dianxue. We are all used to it."

"Dianxue, this name is very nice. Unexpectedly, my aunt's husband is still a refined man."

Lin Wanjiao touched the horse's body without reaching out, and the hair under her hand was brushed very clean. It seems that Aunt Caifeng is so clean and neat, and she is also a regular cleaning horse.

"Where is it, our family is a rough man. We call him Dianxue, because he is all black, but there is a little white on his tail. It's ugly to call him Dianbai. So we just call him Dianxue."

Aunt Caifeng waved her hands cheerfully, and explained the reason for her name.

"So this is ah,"

Lin Wanjiao nodded knowingly, and looked at the horse.

"Auntie, can I ride this horse?"

Take out the horse and buy it. If you don’t ride it, who knows why it’s good or bad.

Aunt Caifeng readily agreed.

She helped Lin Wanjiao take off the thick rope that tied the horse, and then handed it to Lin Wanjiao.
