Walnut signed his name, looked at Grandpa Liu and said, "I've signed it, what do you think, Grandpa Liu?"

Hearing what Walnut said, Old Liu walked to the table, glanced at the paper, looked at Walnut with surprise on his face and asked, "Where did you learn to write, girl?"

Listening to Old Liu's question, Dapeng and Erpeng also looked at Hetao wonderingly, Hetao was stunned for a moment when he heard Grandpa Liu's questioning, and said in his heart: "It's over, I was so happy that I forgot that I shouldn't After writing about my own business, thinking about this, Walnut, who reacted quickly, smiled and said, "I only know how to write my own name. It was taught to me by his blind father when I was playing with Zhengshan. "

Hearing what Walnut said, Old Liu smiled and said, "It's no wonder, I said that Zhengshan's blind father is not a simple person, but no one believes it."

Walnut listened to Grandpa Liu's words, looked at him with a chuckle and said, "The paperwork has been signed, Grandpa Liu, I will take this cow away."

Hearing what Walnut said, Old Liu said with a smile: "Okay, you take it away! By the way, don't you still want to use the car? Then set it up and take it away! Just put it at your house when you run out, I will If you want to use it, take it to your house."

Hearing what Grandpa Liu said, Walnut couldn't mention how happy he was, and hurriedly said, "Then thank you, Grandpa Liu."

Walnut and his two elder brothers hitched up the ox cart and hurried away from Lao Liutou's house, heading straight for the outside of the village.

Not long after, they came to the side of Beishan Mountain. Walnut found a shady place and tied the cattle to a tree, and Erpeng and Dapeng picked up firewood.Until it got dark, the three of them pulled a car full of firewood and returned home.

This kind of life lasted for more than a month, and the yard was full of firewood. When having breakfast this morning, grandma looked at the walnuts and said, "There is almost no more firewood in the yard. Don't go to the mountains to pick it up." , go to the beach to pick up some small fish and shrimps, let’s dry them and eat them in winter.”

Walnut listened to grandma's words, looked at her with a smile and said, "I don't have time to make small fish and shrimps now. I'll take a look in these two days and plan to bring the firewood I picked up to the market with my two brothers." I bought it. I haven’t paid the money I owe Grandpa Liu’s family to buy the cow!”

Hearing what Walnut said, her grandma sighed and said, "That's good, this firewood should sell well. People around us are busy fishing and making money at this time, and don't have time to get firewood and firewood." , plus it’s cheap, so ordinary people won’t buy it, and they can buy it for a few pennies.”

Listening to grandma's words, Walnut smiled and said, "Since you agree, grandma, then we will set up a cart and ox cart to sell in the market in the city after dinner."

After breakfast, Walnut and his two elder brothers loaded an ox cart with a load of firewood and left home, heading for a nearby town.

The dirt road to the town is not easy to walk. There are puddles and rutted ruts everywhere along the way, and there are traces of cattle and horses stepping on rainy days. These traces will dry up directly after the weather clears, causing the dirt road The potholes are uneven, and it’s very easy to go south. When you walk halfway to the town, there is a winding river. Although the water is not deep, it is enough to reach Walnut’s ankle.

Walnut saw Xiaohe stopped the car, and frowned. At this moment, Dapeng and Erpeng, who were following the car, walked up to Walnut, glanced at the river in the middle of the road, and said, "Standing is useless." , the only way to go to the town is to wade across the river."

Hearing what Dapeng and Erpeng said, Walnut glanced at them and said, "Knowing that we're going to go, when I said that, Walnut bent down and took off his shoes, holding them in his hand."

Dapeng and Erpeng watched Walnut's movements, laughed out loud, and then took off their shoes and held them in their hands. Walnut led the cow and led the shoes across the river.Going on to the town, Dapeng and Erpeng followed behind her and said, "It's not the rainy season, we can walk across the river. If it catches up with the heavy rain, the water in this river will rise very violently." , don’t say we’re wading across the river, even if we’re on a bullock cart, we won’t be able to get across.”

Hearing what the two elder brothers said, Walnut frowned and didn't say anything. After walking for a while, they came to the town, came to the side of the market, and stopped the ox cart.

As soon as the car was parked, a man with the appearance of a rich man walked over. He looked at the firewood on the walnut cart and asked, "Girl, do you sell this firewood? How much is a bundle?"

Hearing what he said, Walnut greeted him with a smile, and said: "Boss, this firewood is for sale, and it costs five cents a bundle. If you want to buy this cart at once, we can give you a little less. "

Hearing what Walnut said, the man with the appearance of a rich man glanced at her with bright eyes, looked at her and said with a smile, "Okay, take the car and follow me! I will unload the car at my house Money for you."

Listening to the man's words, Walnut glanced at the man, nodded and glanced at the two elder brothers who untied the cow's rein and followed the man.

After the words fell, the man who looked like a rich man walked in, and Walnut and his two brothers stood at the door and waited.Not long after, the black door was opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man ran out. Looking at the simple and honest face, he came to Walnut, looked at him and said, "Girl, wait in a hurry! Follow me!" Come."

Walnut led the ox cart and followed this simple-faced man into the yard, and walked directly to the backyard.

When he came to the backyard, the man looked at the walnut and said: Girl, just unload the firewood here.After a while our boss will come and pay you. "

Listening to what this man said, Walnut looked at Dapeng and Erpeng and said, "Let's unload the car, two brothers!"
