Lu Lu led the horse back. After leaving the livestock trading place, he saw the brother and sister Chen Xiuqing waiting at the roadside holding the horse.
When they saw Lu Lu coming back with a skinny horse, their eyes widened.
"Brother Lu, why did you buy such a horse? It's too thin!" Chen Xiuqing looked puzzled.
Sure enough, this is the first reaction of most people: lose weight!
"When this horse gets stronger, it will look better!" Lu Lu said casually.
Lu Lu knew more about horses than Chen Xiuqing, and he had already talked to Chen Xiuqing sporadically when watching horses before.
Since Lu Lu thought it was good, it must be good, but Chen Xiuqing couldn't help but ask: "Brother Lu, how much did you pay for this horse?"
"One hundred and fifty, with horse and saddle!"
Lu Lu led the horse forward: "How much did you buy for this horse?"
This has not been the case for several years.
The three of them walked back along the market, looking for someone to exchange for some food stamps, gas stamps and other bills. Mixed with money, Lu Lu bought a lot of corn, black beans and oil cakes, which were going to be used for feeding
horse.
As for tonight, I have no choice but to force Black Horse to sleep in the woods next to the cellar.
It stopped barking, and the three pups also closed their mouths and followed Yuan Bao with their feet flat on their backs.
There is definitely not enough work to be done today, and I will still be busy tomorrow.
They had some money on hand, but the brother and sister were not willing to spend it. Lu Lute bought them some canned fruit and the like and gave it to them. He mainly hoped that Chen Xiuyu could have more sweetness, even if his face looked ugly.
It's also good to laugh more.
When we returned to the road outside Dijiangzi, it was probably around two o'clock in the afternoon.
"What a good horse. He's grown strong..."
The thin horse Lu Lu couldn't bear to let it carry weight, so after Chen Xiuqing bought a rubber-tired truck by the way, he threw all the things on his car.
Hearing the noise, Ma Jinlan, who was blanching wild vegetables at home, opened the door and looked into the yard.
"Let's go home!"
"Where did you borrow the horse? No one in the village has such a horse."
The four Yuanbaoniangs came out early to welcome the black horse. When they saw the black horse, they kept barking at it, which made the black horse retreat in fright.
Lu Lu led the horse and continued to move forward, and Yuan Bao immediately stepped forward to lead the way.
Borrowing animals for use is not a trivial matter. There is no free lunch in the world. Therefore, the family has to devote more time to helping others. In exchange for this favor, they get the opportunity to use horses and oxen to plow the fields.
, often you have to change several talents.
Now, the days of exhaustion and fear are finally over, which is a great good thing for the family.
Fortunately, at this time, it is not difficult to find someone to replace him.
Although it has been three or four years since the reform and opening up, the role of these bills has begun to weaken, but it is still something that cannot be completely bypassed.
Such animals are not like wild animals. They are all familiar with each other in the village. Lu Lu refused to bite them, and Yuan Bao understood the meaning very intelligently.
"Qingzi, whose horse is this?"
Every year, I always lag behind others in planting crops. In autumn, when I see other people’s harvests are about the same and my own harvests are not yet ready, I always feel anxious for several days, fearing that frost and snow will suddenly come.
Yuan Bao didn't dodge, but stopped screaming. He hummed and turned his head to look at Lu Lu.
"Yuanbao, you can't bite it either!" Lu Lu made a gesture to scare it.
The next time will be very busy.
In the morning, the brother and sister had breakfast early and only told Ma Jinlan to go to the market. She stood at the door and ran away without shouting. For this reason, Ma Jinlan was sulky all morning.
When they arrived at Diganzi, Lu Lu took off all the things on the horse's back and the saddle, then led the horse to the meadow, tied it with a long rope to a small tree growing on Diganzi, and let it go around.
Grazing around the small trees.
Ma Jinlan thought it was Chen Xiuqing who borrowed it to farm, and it was considered a reliable thing. The sullenness she felt from morning to now disappeared, and she happily came out quickly.
Once things were done, I was in a hurry to get back.
In addition, there is not much food left in the cellar, so I have to buy some more, and there are also some miscellaneous things such as sickles, nails, bags, oil, salt, and soybean paste.
Lu Lu glanced at it and said, "It's pretty good. If it were me, I would have paid almost the same price."
In the past few years, growing crops and using livestock have all depended on borrowing.
Unlike the doe and the two fawns, they wandered around the fence without any problems, making the doe jump inside at any time.
Chen Xiuqing led the horse into the yard, unloaded the carriage and tied the horse to the stable.
The next step was to carry the chain saw and go up the mountain to cut wood. He had to hurry up and get a temporary stable and a manger to facilitate feeding.
After Lu Lvze fed Yuan Baoniang four corn noodles, he heated up the remaining dumplings from the morning and ate them, and then ate two or three pieces of stove fruit, which was enough to get rid of lunch.
If you want your horse to get stronger quickly, you have to be willing to add more food. If you just let it eat grass by itself, you will have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
But this afternoon, why did you bring back a group of horses?
There are also brand new carriages.
But they are not as fierce as when they were first acquired. They are gradually adapting to the presence of the doe.
Finally arriving at the door of her house, Chen Xiuyu excitedly jumped off the carriage before it stopped and ran to open the courtyard door.
Since then, their family has never had a horse because they couldn't afford one.
Chen Xiuqing drove the carriage, while Chen Xiuyu sat in the car and walked home along the dirt road in the middle of the village.
Chen Xiuqing's family had raised a horse before, which was left behind by his father, but the horse was too old. He had only used it for a few years after his father passed away, and it could not survive the extremely cold winter.
“Just bought it today at the market!”
For ordinary people, there is not much savings, but for those with a certain status, they have a lot of money.
"One hundred and three...is that too high?" Chen Xiuqing was a little unsure.
The brother and sister were busy going back to the village, and Lu Lu also hurried back to his hometown. After saying hello, Lu Lu put the things on the back of the thin horse and led them back.
Along the way through the village, everyone I met would look at the happy brother and sister with surprised eyes and ask similar questions, as if they had discovered something extraordinary.
After hearing what Lu Lu said, Chen Xiuqing suddenly became happy, as if she had received the greatest affirmation.
He first picked up a sickle and went to the hillside to cut some branches and leaves to feed the deer. He then opened a few bags and placed the wild vegetables that had been soaked overnight on the grass outside to dry.
And this was the change that happened because of Lu Lu.
As soon as Chen Xiuyu saw Ma Jinlan open the door, she had already grabbed the new clothes Lu Lu bought for her and hid them behind her. When Ma Jinlan was focused on the horses, she quickly slipped into the house and hid them in the clothes cabinet on the bedside of her bed.
Then he quickly returned to the yard and heard Chen Xiuqing say: "This horse is not borrowed, it was bought at the market."
Ma Jinlan looked unbelievable: "Where did you get so much money?"
"I went hunting with Brother Lu, and I got it from the things I sold today!" Chen Xiuqing said excitedly: "Mom, from now on, our family won't have to borrow animals anymore, and we can farm the land tomorrow."
