Niu Xiaotian's flattering fantasy is unrealistic. The value of large livestock in rural areas is not low. They are considered fixed assets and production tools. Of course, they will not be given away casually.
Opening the courtyard door, it was Kan Fangshan standing outside, driving a large carriage filled with chopped firewood, and it was all dry.
"Uncle Kan, why did you bring all the firewood here?" Niu Xiaotian asked in surprise.
Kan Xiuxiu was given no money for medical treatment. Kan Fangshan promised to send firewood to Niu Xiaotian's family, but it was not like this, but wet wood cut from the mountain. It not only took effort to split it, but also dried it for a long time.
"I can go up the mountain to get them. I'll give you these. It'll be convenient for making a fire."
"Thank you, Uncle Kan!" Niu Xiaotian expressed his sincere thanks.
"This little bit of firewood is nothing. When it's all used up, I'll bring it to you! Xiaotian, if it weren't for you, that kid Xiuxiu would be useless."
"Xiuxiu is almost completely healed. She has made great progress recently."
Instructing Heizi to dodge aside, Niu Xiaotian opened all the courtyard doors. Kan Fangshan directly led the carriage into the courtyard, unloaded the firewood, and quickly helped Niu Xiaotian put it away.
"Xiaotian, I'm not seeing you anymore. I want to trouble you with something again. Is that okay?" Kan Fangshan asked.
"Just say it, and if it can be done, it will be done."
"When Xiuxiu gets well, she should go to work in a factory. I don't want her to make money for the family. Even if she can support herself, she won't have to suffer after getting married."
"No problem, I'll take care of it."
Kan Fangshan was overjoyed, wiped his hands on his body excitedly, and went to drive the carriage again, "Just wait, I will pull a cart of firewood for you."
"That's enough!"
"Don't push me around, just do it like this. From now on, all the firewood at home will be covered by me." Kan Fangshan's chest thumped loudly.
"Uncle, you really don't need it, these are enough to burn you for a while."
"When winter comes, the heat gets much worse. Xiaotian, I can use my strength to make my home look like the city. It's so hot that I only have to wear big pants!"
Haha, Niu Xiaotian laughed, waved his hand and said: "I have strong firepower, and it's so hot that I still feel uncomfortable. Uncle, if you really want to give it to me, just give it to Grandma Min, so that I don't have to move her over again."
Kan Fangshan was stunned for a moment, then gave a thumbs up and praised: "Good boy, you are affectionate and righteous, I admire you, I didn't say anything."
Looking at the firewood all over the yard, Niu Xiaotian felt happy and went back to busy making lunch.
The tenant Anyue is lazier than me and pushes the bowl away after eating. Brother Xiaotian has trouble cooking every day. Now that he has a lot of savings, he should hire someone to take charge of the kitchen.
The character must be reliable, and the cooking skills must not be too bad. Niu Xiaotian thought about it for a long time, and he really remembered someone who seemed to be quite suitable.
If you think of something, take action. If it doesn't work, look for someone else.
After lunch, Anyue went back to the house to take a nap, but Niu Xiaotian wandered out and came to Gou Caifeng's house at the east end of the village.
Gou Caifeng is thirty-six years old. She is quite introverted. The man also has the surname Niu. He has a pretty good name, Niu Wangtian, and he looks as strong as a yak.
Niu Wangtian had learned to be a chef, and his presence was always indispensable at weddings and funerals in the village.
Gou Caifeng often helps with the cutting, and she can cut the potatoes into shreds thinner than hair.
Niu Wangtian, who had a special skill, went to the city to work as a chef. It was said that he could earn several thousand a month, and he only came back during the holidays.
The son went to junior high school and lived on campus, leaving Gou Caifeng to take care of several acres of land and her paraplegic mother-in-law at home.
Gou Caifeng was a woman with a very clean mouth. She was seldom cursed. She also took good care of her mother-in-law, and she worked hard without complaining.
When the men in the village quarrel, they always compare Gou Caifeng with their wild wives. Well, after a comparison, the woman is more impatient and hits harder.
"Sister-in-law Caifeng!"
Niu Xiaotian shouted as soon as he entered the yard. Hearing the sound, Gou Caifeng hurriedly came out of the house and smiled honestly, revealing his dimples on one side, "Xiaotian, you are so busy, why do you have time to come here?"
"The factory is recruiting workers. Can you go?"
Gou Caifeng's eyes immediately brightened, but when he glanced at the room, he showed a look of embarrassment, and whispered: "I'm afraid it won't work, I can't get rid of the oil bottle, and besides, Wangtian won't agree.
"
"Sister-in-law, let me find you another job and help me cook!"
"Okay! I'll help you." Gou Caifeng agreed.
"Hey, of course I can't use my sister-in-law for nothing. How about this, I'll provide the ingredients for two meals at noon and evening for twenty a day. I can make it for four people, and my sister-in-law can eat with her, or she can bring it back to the old man to eat."
"Xiaotian, how embarrassing is this?"
Gou Caifeng is really a bit embarrassed. Six hundred a month, including food and drinks, is equivalent to doubling the salary.
For her, two meals is only a matter of hours. The salary is not low, and it does not affect other things.
"Then it's settled, just tonight."
"Xiao Tian, they say you have the ability. Can you treat my mother-in-law? My family has saved some money over the years." Gou Caifeng asked again.
"Let me see, not all diseases can be cured."
Niu Xiaotian didn't dare to take care of everything. After all, the old man's hemiplegia would not last for a day or two.
"Feng! Where did you die?"
At this moment, Granny Niu's shout came from the house, and Niu Xiaotian couldn't help but frown, why is this old lady speaking so unpleasantly?
"Mom, I'm coming!" Gou Caifeng sighed, "Xiaotian, I don't know what's wrong with her recently. She curses people when she opens her mouth or not, and it's very ugly."
"I'll go in and take a look!"
Niu Xiaotian followed Gou Caifeng and walked into the house. Granny Niu was wearing an embroidered shoe and sitting on the edge of the bed, leaning on the thickly piled quilt.
Half of his face is crooked, and his mouth is crooked as well, but it doesn't stop him from cursing.
"Women who don't follow the rules of women, do you want to steal people to support men? You don't know how to criticize, they are rotten goods, bah!"
A long spit came out, the kind that was drawn from silk, and it actually spit directly on the door. How long would it take to practice this to have such a long range?
"Mom, what are you talking about? I've been at home all the time." Gou Caifeng avoided the saliva and shed tears of grievance.
Niu Xiaotian was stunned. The situation was very complicated. The old lady was so suspicious. Who would dare to hire her daughter-in-law?
wrong!
Niu Xiaotian suddenly saw that Granny Niu's seal was black, her eye sockets were also black, and the whites of her eyes were red. This was a sign that she was possessed by an evil spirit and had been controlled.
People who are old, frail, and prone to random thoughts are indeed very conducive to the invasion of evil things.
"Sister-in-law, find me a needle." Niu Xiaotian ordered in a low voice.
"good!"
Gou Caifeng agreed and immediately climbed onto the kang. At this time, Granny Niu's eyes that were not aligned were locked on Niu Xiaotian, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her crooked mouth.
Suddenly, Granny Niu's handy left hand reached into the quilt, took out a pair of sharp scissors, and threw it towards Niu Xiaotian.
