Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

Because of He Yuzhu's arrival, Tian Yuecheng asked his wife to take out the only white flour in the house and bake pancakes for He Yuzhu. Although it looked a little ugly, it was the most delicious pancake He Yuzhu had ever eaten since he traveled through time, and it was full of human touch.

With good food and meals, wine is naturally indispensable. He Yuzhu took out two bottles of good wine from his bag as if by magic.

It was the first time for Tian Yuecheng to drink such good wine. The hand holding the wine glass was shaking constantly. Tian Weijun was also eager to drink because his father was present.

He Yuzhu did not treat himself as an outsider and poured a glass for everyone. He directly called Tian Weiguo's two children to his side, showing his love for the whole family.

But He Yuzhu also gave delicious food to the children of Tian Weijun's family. The reason why He Yuzhu called Qiangzi and Xiu'er to his side was that He Yuzhu had his own plans. He wanted to take advantage of these few days to cultivate feelings with the two children. He Yuzhu was afraid that there would be trouble along the way.

After three cups of wine, the boldness of the men from northern Shaanxi was fully demonstrated in Tian Weicheng and his son.

Originally He Yuzhu thought that since they were all non-outsiders, men, women, old and young could just sit at one table, but Xiuqin, Tian's mother and Tian Weijun's wife insisted on taking the rest of the children to the same table.

He Yuzhu glanced at the table and saw that the bowl on his table was full of meat. Then he looked at the table of the elderly and children and saw that there was a little soup.

He Yuzhu immediately took out three or four pounds of cooked food from his bag and said:

"Aunt, I have some cooked food in my bag. Let's cut it up and eat it together. You see, I didn't refuse the chicken, so don't refuse me. That would be too polite."

This was the first time Auntie Tian had seen someone so arrogant. Was this how city people eat meat?

Tian Weicheng knew that He Yuzhu did not consider him an outsider, so he said:

"Old lady, just cut it up, it will be a good treat for the children to taste."

The children were very happy. It was the first time for them to eat meat so happily. They were thinking: "It would be great if this uncle from the city could stay at home all the time."

Seeing that everyone had meat to eat, He Yuzhu sat down at the table again and picked up dishes for Qiangzi and Xiu'er while chatting with the Tian father and son, while Erni was responsible for pouring wine.

As they chatted, He Yuzhu deliberately turned the topic to the village.

"Uncle Tian, ​​I see there is only this one donkey cart in the village, no cows or anything?"

It's not surprising that He Yuzhu asked this question. After all, northern Shaanxi is not far from Inner Mongolia. He believes that there is a shortage of cattle and horses elsewhere, but he doesn't believe that there is a shortage here.

"Zhu Zi, let alone our village, there are only a few cows in the entire Tianjiawan Commune. Every year when we plow the land, men, women, and children all join in the work. That's how our ancestors survived."

He Yuzhu felt sad when he heard this. What a simple farmer, working hard in the fields, how many years could he have good weather and good harvests?

"Uncle Tian, ​​do you know where to sell cattle and horses?"

"Zhuzi, what do you mean?"

He Yuzhu was afraid that he would be the one to give milk to the cows in the village. Although the villagers were poor, they still had self-esteem, especially the heroes in the village. In order to take care of their feelings, He Yuzhu thought about it and came up with a plan.

"Uncle Tian, ​​this is what happened. When I came here, Weiguo told me that he had been away from home for so many years, and it was the villagers who took care of his family, so he asked me to find a way to help buy a cow or a horse for the village."

When Tian Yuecheng heard this, he also frowned.

"Zhu Zi, did Wei Guo really say that?"

No wonder Tian Yuecheng was so excited, so he spoke a little louder, attracting everyone's attention again.

He Yuzhu was also a person who had experienced big occasions, so he nodded calmly and said:

"That's what Weiguo said. Originally, this matter should have been handled by Uncle Tian, ​​but who would have thought that things are unpredictable."

Tian Yuecheng nodded heavily and said, "Xiuqin, buying livestock is a considerable expense. Although Weiguo said so, I still have to ask for your opinion. After all, you three are about to leave the village."

"Sister-in-law, Uncle Tian is right. You have to make the decision on this matter."

Although Xiuqin had not seen Tian Weiguo for many years, she knew him and knew that this was definitely not her man's idea. However, she could not reject He Yuzhu's kindness, so she had to "shamelessly" take the credit for her own family.

"Uncle, I have no objection. It is the right thing for Weiguo to do. Not to mention the many years that have passed, when my parents passed away last year, we didn't have enough coffin supplies, and it was the villagers who pooled money to help buy them. Compared to the kindness of the villagers, this little thing is nothing."

Xiuqin's idea was very simple. She would know if this idea was from Tian Weiguo by going to the capital and asking. If it was true, that would be the best. If it was brother Zhuzi's good intention, she would have to give him the money no matter what.

Seeing that Xiuqin had no objection, Tian Yuecheng smiled and said, "Then I will go to Brother Yuexing tomorrow to discuss and see where there are cows and horses for sale."

Well begun is half done. Since Tian Yuecheng has already agreed, as long as there is something to sell and there is no health problem, the only thing left is the amount of money, which is actually the smallest problem for He Yuzhu.

After drinking two bottles of Moutai, He Yuzhu also felt sleepy.

He also knew how precious water was on the Loess Plateau, so he washed his face first, then soaked his feet, and finally poured the water into the vegetable garden, trying to maximize the use of a basin of water.

Sleeping in the cave specially prepared by Aunt Tian, ​​He Yuzhu didn't have time to feel it properly, and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes? Past.

He Yuzhu was very tired after traveling for days, and it was already noon when he got up.

I just went out and was about to stretch.

"Brother Zhuzi, Lao Liu told me, did Weiguo really ask you to be sold as an animal?"

The sudden appearance of Tian Yuexing gave He Yuzhu a fright, but after he calmed down, he thought that he would be just as excited if it were him.

"Uncle Tian, ​​Weiguo told me this, but I don't know where we can buy it here."

"Zhu Zi, I actually know where to sell cows and horses."

He Yuzhu was also excited when he heard it, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Tian, ​​where is it? Is it far? Why don't we set off now?"

"The pillar is not far away. It's in the next commune. It won't be too late for us to leave after you have eaten."

He Yuzhu was afraid that if he went too late, it would be gone.

"Uncle Tian, ​​let's go quickly. I'm not hungry, so I can just have a simple meal on the way."

Seeing He Yuzhu so anxious, Tian Yuecheng's already anxious heart became even more anxious.

"Wei Jun, go feed the donkey some more soybeans. Let's set off now."

Didi Donkey was back online soon after the meal was added. This time it picked up four people without being overloaded. Maybe it could even find a companion when it came back. Today's trip was worth it for Didi Donkey.
