Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

Liu Yu's attitude was sincere, and Changsheng nodded in agreement.

Li Dongsheng sighed, patted Changsheng on the shoulder, turned around and covered the bamboo cage with the black cloth again.

"In that case, you can take these bamboo rats away and give me two hundred and sixty coins!"

"How many!"

Liu Yu exclaimed when she heard the price reported by Li Dongsheng. When she saw Li Dongsheng about to explain, she hurriedly interrupted.

"Brother Dongsheng, that's not what I meant. If you sell these bamboo rats in a restaurant in the county, they will definitely cost more than this. Isn't this too cheap?"

Even if you just glanced at it, you can see that these bamboo rats weighed at least two or three kilograms, and the bigger ones weighed five or six kilograms!

Not to mention transporting it to the county seat, even if it is delivered to their town, those who love this will be willing to spend money!

"Although it is difficult to catch this thing, the bamboo forest is there. If you are careful, you can always catch it. It is not cheap or not!"

Li Dongsheng had an account in his mind. He waved his hand and signaled to Liu Yu that he didn't need to take it to heart. He didn't suffer any loss even if he had no money.

It would take a long time to save more than 200 cash just by farming. It is unclear whether these bamboo rats can be raised and bred well. Ten cash is just right for one.

"Brother Dongsheng, you just said that you have spent less time at home and more time outside in the past two years. Can I ask where you are going?"

After a slight hesitation, Liu Yu finally spoke.

When Lao Ding was away, even though he had been ill for many years, Li Dongsheng always had someone to talk to when he came back, no matter where he went. Even if he went to the mountains or fields, there would always be worries behind him.

Standing in the woodshed, the lights were dim, illuminating only this area of ​​the world.

The courtyard and even the main house were pitch black.

This family seemed to be shattered as soon as Old Ding left!

Liu Yu turned to look at Chang Sheng beside him, and suddenly felt that he was very lucky. If he had been alone all this time, his grandfather and grandma would all be gone.

It would be too desolate to be left alone in the world.

Although Mrs. Zhou and Tietou still live nearby, their widowed sister-in-law and single brother-in-law have always been talked about by the talkative women and husbands in the village.

If there were just a few more words of concern and a more intimate daily walk, I'm afraid rumors would fly all over the sky in an instant.

The more Liu Yu thought about it, the more he brought it into his mind, and the more uncomfortable he felt for Li Dongsheng's situation.

"I have a brother who works as an escort in a county escort agency. Thanks to his connections, he will go to the escort agency in a few days and follow the escort leader!"

Li Dongsheng hesitated for a few seconds, but when he saw the two people in front of him, their eyes were full of concern, and his heart felt slightly warm, he still said it!

"Ah, if you are an escort, then Brother Dongsheng is also an escort!"

Liu Yu and Changsheng looked at each other, very surprised.

The escort agency, the escort master, or the escort leader were all unfamiliar to them. They were very curious and couldn't help but ask more questions.

"It's not dangerous. This is a peaceful and prosperous time, and our county is not a very wealthy place. Just get on the bus and don't stick your head to the waistband of the business!"

Li Dongsheng couldn't help laughing when he heard the two people's wild guesses.

Liu Yu and Changsheng were both a little stunned when they heard this, but they still told him: "Brother Dongsheng, you should be careful when you go out. When we successfully raise bamboo rats, when you come back, I will treat you to eat bamboo rats."

"It's not like I won't come back all the time. Once the escorts are gone, there will always be some free time!"

The attitude of the two people seemed that he would not be able to go home for a long time, Li Dongsheng explained.

Neither Liu Yu nor Changsheng knew anything about escorts. Speaking of which, Li Dongsheng was the first escort master they knew in every sense of the word!

The bamboo rats were half-sold and half-given to the two of them. Li Dongsheng did not hide his secrets and taught them all he knew about the habits of the bamboo rats, including their growth time.

Liu Yu couldn't help but feel happy when she heard that bamboo rats can reproduce after being raised for four to five months. This is faster than raising chickens. Chickens can definitely lay eggs after being raised for four months!

I also heard that each litter can only give birth to one to six bamboo rats, which is a pity for Liu Yu!

They are both rats, but the number of pups the bamboo rat gives birth to is much lower than that of field mice and house mice!

"They are not picky about their food. All they need are bamboo roots. They like coolness and humidity, but not heat. When raising them, be careful not to make holes and let them escape!"

Li Dongsheng rambled on, telling the two of them everything he knew and could think of for the time being.

Now that the matter was settled, Liu Yu didn't want to disturb Li Dongsheng anymore, so she said goodbye!

"I have to ask Brother Dongsheng to help me send these bamboo rats back to my home!"

This is simple. More than 20 bamboo rats can be transported several times using only two hands. If they are mounted on a cart, it only takes one trip.

Changsheng stayed here to help load the truck together, while Liu Yu went to Xu Hong's house to inform Liu Fusheng and the others of the reason!

Neither Xu Hong nor Liu Fusheng expected such an unexpected surprise, and they both stepped forward after hearing this.

When they saw the bamboo rats on the cart and in the woodshed, they both felt happy.

After a while, the bamboo cages containing bamboo rats were loaded onto the cart. In order to prevent the bamboo cages stacked on top from bumping and sliding, Li Dongsheng found some hemp ropes to tie them up.

Only when the bundles are strong and the bamboo cage above cannot be pulled down can you feel relieved.

Seeing a few people pushing carts and about to leave, Xu Hong hurriedly asked them to stay, then hurried home and took out a jar of wine brought by Liu Fusheng!

Being busy doesn't help, he's not that shameless and drinks other people's wine for nothing!

Liu Fusheng refused to accept it, and the two of them pushed aside to let him go.

Liu Yu was waiting a little anxiously. It was still cold at night, and even though they were wearing cotton-padded clothes, their hands and feet felt cold.

As soon as the bamboo rats in the car left the woodshed that was protected from the wind, they faced the wind without hesitation. Liu Yu was afraid that one or two of them would freeze to death!

"Master Xu, a jar of wine is not worth much. My grandpa brought it just for you to drink. If you ask him to take it back, how can he have the nerve to come to your door next time!"

At this moment, the wine jar was in Xu Hong's hands. Xu Hong took one look at Liu Fusheng's determination not to take it home, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll take it away shamelessly. I'll catch rabbits and pheasants tomorrow, and I'll treat you to some wild pheasants." Things!"

Seeing that he could finally leave, Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief!

Li Dongsheng held the handle of the car, Liu Yu and Changsheng were supporting and exerting their strength on both sides. The road was dry, and they arrived home in a short time.

The family did not prepare a place for raising bamboo rats in advance. After thinking about it for a while, Liu Yu decided to follow Li Dongsheng's example and put all the bamboo rats in the woodshed.

The woodshed was illuminated by two oil lamps. Liu Yu and the others moved the firewood piled on the ground, cleared a wide space, and began to unload the bamboo cages from the cart.

Liu Meixiang hasn't come back yet, and Nian and Xiaoxue haven't slept either.

Hearing the noise, both of them came out.

Xiaoxue was very excited to see so many chubby bamboo rats. She looked at this one and then that one, and thought every one of them was so cute!

While Li Dongsheng was moving the bamboo rats, he would glance at the fence gate from time to time.

After the bamboo rats were moved, Liu Yu took out the money from the room, and no one pushed open the closed fence gate!

"Grandma, eldest sister isn't coming back today either!"
