There is a doctor who treats livestock in the village, and he is an acquaintance, the male owner Qi He from the top family next door to Lao Qi's house.
That night, the door of Qihe's house was not even opened. This family was so good that they had offended everyone in the village, and no one knocked on the door to see what was going on at his house.
Now, "It's time to go to his house and take a look."
The old man squatted in front of the fallen horse with tears in his eyes. To the country people, cattle and horses are more precious things than people. When seeing the horse fall, the old man wished that he was the one who fell.
Change.
Old man Qi also squatted down to look at the horse. He was already frothing at the mouth. He breathed heavily and even brought out some foam, which didn't look good.
At this time, Bao'er stretched out his hand to touch the horse. Old man Qi moved so fast that he didn't even see him looking at Qi Bao'er. His hand had already gone out and accurately grabbed Qi Bao's wrist and pulled him back.
He stuffed his little hands into his pockets and patted them, "Are you hungry? Be good, let's bear with it for now."
The old man didn't pay much attention, he was focused on the horse.
Besides, whose child is not hungry now?
Are you hungry? Are you hungry? These words have become daily greetings in the team.
Qi Baoer silently glanced at her father: She is not hungry.
Old man Qi stared back at her: I know you are not hungry, what did you just want to do? Want to save the horse? Are you planning on the boss again?
Qi Baoer's eyes flashed: ...No.
Old man Qi continued to glare at her: No, did you give us the cow last night? Don’t tell me you didn’t. I found you at the cow last night.
Yes, Lao Qi’s ox is one step ahead of Old Master’s horse, so it didn’t work out well last night.
Even though his family now has the most horses and cows in the village, they were all brought by the Qian family and his little sister. He only has one cow at home.
The family has more than ten acres of land and only one cow. It happens to be just after spring sowing, and the cow has not slowed down at all. It is dragging a cart of grain day and night.
When Old Man Qi saw the cow not eating grass last night, he knew it wouldn't last long, so he had to make up his mind to discuss it with his eldest son.
"If the rhubarb is still like this tomorrow, you can only kill it, don't wait until it is dead, and let your mother and your wife make the meat into dried meat to eat on the road."
There is no other way but to minimize the losses as much as possible.
San Lang heard this. Normally, several children at home would go to pull weeds and feed the cows after school. When he heard that the cows were going to be killed, San Lang burst into tears.
When he was walking in the dark at night, he made a mistake and the Bao'er beside him disappeared. After searching for a long time, he found someone next to Dahuang.
He didn't think much about it at the time, just thinking that the child was bored and just passed by.
In the morning, I saw the rhubarb that was still wilting and not eating any grass last night. It made me very energetic. Da Lang and the others took turns feeding it with grass, and they refused to refuse anyone who came. It had a great appetite.
Old man Qi thought to himself, something is wrong.
When he bought the cow, he specifically understood that if the cow was so tired that it couldn't eat and couldn't rest, it was a guaranteed death. How could it be that it couldn't eat last night and then walked away all night after it couldn't eat? Good morning
Well, hey, it's good.
Then he thought of Bao'er who passed by Dahuang last night. He couldn't help it, he was the only one in his family who you couldn't look at like a normal person.
When I think of Bao'er, there are so many questions that can come to mind.
Bao'er beat the little girl clean, since she was born, when has she ever been seen actively approaching livestock?
The whole family thought that the first word Baoer spoke was "Master", but he only knew that Baoer said "stinky".
The family used to raise pigs, and he held Bao'er in his arms to watch the pigs eat. Bao'er, who was only five months old, grabbed his clothes with his little hands and refused to go near the pig pen, shouting "stinky" twice.
After Baoer was able to walk, she would never get off the bed without wearing good shoes. She would not even leave the door if there was chicken droppings in the yard.
The fact that our family has been able to rank first in a cleanliness competition in the village over the past few years is all due to Bao'er.
How could she take the initiative to get involved with the cow?
Old man Qi thought he had discovered the truth, but he didn't say anything.
Now I see Qi Baoer taking the initiative to reach out to the horse, can he let me?
The horse was tired from entering the town and leaving the town without stopping for prayers. Old man Qi felt that the problem should not be big, as the horse's work was not heavy.
The old man's family must have been in a panic at that time and did not arrange for the horse to pull the belongings. Now it is pulling a carriage, with the injured Mr. and Mrs. Fang lying inside.
Give the horse some rest time and the horse will be able to recover.
Even if he can't, Old Man Qi won't allow Qi Bao'er to take action. What's wrong with the farmers? Farmers are not fools. If Bao'er really takes action, no one may be able to miss it.
He didn't stop me last night.
"Old Master, why don't we all stop and rest first? We only have two horses and oxen. If one gets tired, the others will get tired as well."
In fact, the team had stopped early, and one of them was sad and the other was thinking about something and didn't notice it for a while.
The oxen and horses are tired, how can we not be tired?
The horse in front fell down and had to stop. The horse behind thought it was finally time to rest, so they all stopped and hurriedly took a breath.
As Old Man Qi carried Qi Baoer back to his home, he had to pass by the second room of the old man's house.
To put it bluntly, the old man's family was completely divided as Mr. Qi guessed before they set off. Now the old man and the one-armed Qi Kaishan are following the big house.
However, they still walked together, but their houses were clearly separated. Apart from eating, they didn't see any contact with each other, let alone helping each other.
The second room walked a little slower at that time and fell at the end of the queue at the old man's house, which is now adjacent to Lao Qi's house.
Tian Daya was holding a large wooden basin in her hand. The basin was full of steamed buns as big as Qi Baoer's fist. They didn't look very good. The grass was green and rough to the naked eye.
Qi Baoer saw that Tian Daya first gave three to Qi Wentao, who she should call uncle, and then gave her sons two, two for each of her grandchildren, one for each of her daughter-in-law, and one for her granddaughter.
She broke the steamed bun into half and divided it into half for each person. There was only one left in the basin at the end. That was her own.
When it was given to the men in the family, Tian Daya didn't say a word, but when it was given to the women, the curses never stopped.
He scolded his wife like this: "Eat, eat, eat. You open your mouth to ask for food all day long. If my family hadn't been kind-hearted and willing to take you, you would all have died behind. As for your parents' family who live in a shabby settlement, you can follow them and see if they are willing."
I am willing to give you something to stutter.
Don't lose your conscience and don't know what's going on. Keep your skin tight for me, and try to help the men push the cart later. Don't be lazy and let the men work to death. If they are tired, do something good.
None of you can even think of running away."
He scolded his granddaughter like this: "They are all debt collectors. When they eat, they reach out to ask for food. Sooner or later, other people will starve to death. You all deserve it. Why don't you tear my old bones apart?"
