Chapter 162 Not good!
Chapter 162 Not good!
Old man Lin was not confident in entrusting the task of buying the cow to his son, so after much thought, he picked up his walking stick and went to find a cow handler in the village.
"Your family also wants to buy a cow?" Wumao'er, who got the news first, ran over to find Guangdan.
"Yes, grandpa said to go and see if there is anyone suitable." Guangdan nodded somewhat arrogantly.
"That's amazing!!" Then Wumaoer started to chatter about his experience as a cowherd for the past six months, which made Guangdan's eyes turn green with smoke.
The reason why Wumao'er knew the news before others in the village was because the old man Lin asked to help him choose the cattle was Wumao'er's grandfather, who was also the village chief's younger brother.
The cow for the village chief was also selected by this man from the county, and the villagers still have some respect for him.
After Guangdan finally got rid of the five cents, he began to wait for good news from his grandfather.
When Old Man Lin came back, he was in high spirits. He seemed to be ten years younger, and his originally hunched back seemed to have straightened up.
"Master, how's it going?"
Seeing the grandfather on the path from a distance, Guangdan trotted over to him, put his arm around his grandfather, and asked with anticipation on his face.
"Pick an auspicious day, and your father will go to the county with your Fifth Master Lin."
"Okay! I'll go too!! Grandpa, I'm going to the county to take a look!!! Oh, by the way, my eldest brother also happens to be going to deliver goods..." Guangdan felt that he had found another reason to go out, and he started talking nonstop.
"Let's talk about it when we get back." After interrupting Guangdan's words in time, Old Man Lin smiled and greeted the person who was walking towards him.
When Guangdan saw that they were the familiar uncles in the village, he scratched his head awkwardly.
I felt a little annoyed that I was too relaxed, but then I thought to myself that I was just a child!
Isn’t this normal? Isn’t this how children behave?
Old man Lin chatted with the other person briefly, and when he returned to his yard, he remembered what his grandson had just said and started laughing again.
Guangdan always acts like a little adult at home, and his childish look just now was really cute.
Old Man Lin firmly believed that he did not have a filter for Guangdan.
These days, even the smallest matters have to be planned according to the almanac. Old Man Lin and Uncle Lin Wu chose the second day of July to buy the cow.
For this purpose, they specially hired an ox cart from Uncle Lin Wuye and set off at noon on the first day of July.
The main people who bought the cows this time were Lin Daniu and Lin Xiaoniu. Gouwei took his own brushes to the county town to deliver the goods, after all, the Ghost Festival was approaching.
Guangdan was throwing a tantrum at home, pretending to be a good boy, and finally succeeded in bringing Erya and Xiaogu Taohua along.
Although thirteen-year-old Taohuaer and twelve-year-old Erya are almost at the age of getting married, they have never been to the county town since they were young.
The two little girls' eyes were red with excitement as they went out, completely ignoring the cursing voice of their grandmother in the yard.
What made Guangdan even happier was that this time he was not only able to bring out two little girls who had never traveled far, but his grandfather even secretly gave him some change.
Only the second uncle was left at home to accompany Fang Erlangzi to continue making wardrobes and kang cabinets, and there were Xiaoya and Yaya who were crying in the yard so loudly that the whole village could hear them.
These two little girls are small in size but have big tempers. But this time we are going to buy a cow, and we dare not take such young children out alone.
The only ones left were the three studying group, especially Goumao'er who had just returned from school. Although he knew he couldn't go, when he saw Guangdan taking Xiaogu and Erya away, the little guy threw himself into his mother's arms and cried loudly out of grievance.
The actions of the Lin family were all seen by the villagers, but these villagers didn't care. All they wanted at the moment was to stroll around the county.
Now that his grandfather gives him an extra pound, Guangdan feels that he is doing fine again.
"Gudan, is the county better than the town?"
"Guard, are all the people in the county ladies and masters?"
"Gudan, are there any roast chickens for sale in the county?"
Guangdan'er, whose head was buzzing due to his second sister's nagging, suddenly understood when he heard the word "roasted chicken".
He glanced at Master Lin Wu who was driving the cattle, then turned his head and said, "Yes, but I think it will cost ten cents."
"So expensive? A chicken in town only costs four or five cents!" Tao Huaer said in surprise, her big watery eyes wide open.
Guangdan looked at his aunt. Well, the girl's skin was not very good. She had some freckles and pimples, and it was not very white, but her eyes were very beautiful.
"Of course not, otherwise how could it be a county town! There is Aunt Wang's roast chicken shop over on West Street, and her roast chicken is the best!"
Uncle Lin Wu heard the kids talking about roast chicken and interrupted them promptly, his mouth almost watering as he spoke.
"Let's buy one to try tomorrow, Dad!" Guangdan stretched his head and looked at his old father with a smile.
Lin Daniu glared at Guangdan unhappily, thinking that this kid was really ignorant at the moment!
Is one roast chicken enough for so many people? Although his father had specifically said that he would take good care of Uncle Lin Wu, Lin Daniu still felt reluctant.
Just when Lin Daniu was about to speak, he heard the voice of Lin Wuye again.
"If you ask me, you brothers are really capable. It was so difficult in the past few years, but you managed to get through it and raised your children well."
Guangdan noticed the gazes of his father and uncle. Come on, Master Lin Wu is going to find out, right? ?
"Hehe, after all the hardships come happiness." Lin Daniu just laughed it off and didn't really want to respond.
"Building a house and buying cows are not something that ordinary people can afford. Everyone says that your old man has some experience."
What Uncle Lin Wu said was a bit uncomfortable. What confidence could old man Lin have?
If word got out about this, the Lin family would no longer be able to survive in the village. If they knew this, why would they have borrowed money from the clan in the past few years?
Isn't this a bad idea?
Lin Daniu opened his mouth to retort, but he heard Uncle Lin Wu continue to speak slowly.
"I gave those people a good scolding. Everyone knows what your family's situation is like. Isn't that slander? Your old man is not that kind of person!"
"Haha, thank you very much, Fifth Master. Isn't that right? I'll tell you this. Our family is not famous because of the land, but because of my wife."
Lin Daniu stretched his neck from the ox cart and whispered mysteriously.
"Oh, is this still the credit of my niece's wife? Or you are just lucky!" Although Uncle Lin Wu's tone was full of surprise, his expression was calm.
"As you know, my wife's family is a hunter, and she has known some herbs since she was a child. Now that the calf and the dogtail are old enough, she had no choice but to go to the mountains and find some good herbs. That's when she came up with the idea of buying a cow."
When Lin Daniu said this, Guangdan immediately felt bad!
