Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

Tian Erni, who loves to join in the fun, originally wanted to go along, but her job as a ticket seller, although respectable, was not very free and no one could replace her.

Early in the morning, when He Yuzhu hadn't gotten up yet, the little girl went to work mumbling.

He Yuzhu heard what Tian Weijun said while eating pancakes with braised meat on the Didi donkey cart.

He Yuzhu had a good impression of Erni, a good girl.

Although it was just next door, He Yuzhu was almost asleep after dinner when he heard: "Zhu Zi, we are just ahead."

He Yuzhu finally came to his senses and calmed down, and the donkey cart stopped.

After getting off the car, He Yuzhu stretched and rubbed his butt. Anyone who has ridden in this car before will understand the sour feeling, it is extremely uncomfortable.

The few of them did not dare to delay and went straight to the livestock trading area.

Looking at the livestock that were either old and frail or weak and sick along the way, He Yuzhu frowned. He was hungry and thirsty, but he didn't want to be a scapegoat.

Tian Yuecheng and Tian Yuexing also looked calm, and Tian Weijun explained in a low voice:

"Brother Zhuzi, this is the market situation here. Although these animals may not seem very useful, they are not cheap either."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu staggered, "What a useless one, and the price is not cheap."

"Zhu Zi, I do know someone who specializes in selling livestock, but the prices are much more expensive than these."

It was obvious that no matter how much Tian Yuecheng and Tian Yuexing wanted livestock, they didn't want to compromise. Just kidding, livestock nowadays are treasures of the village as long as they are bought back. People can go without food but can't let them suffer. They were afraid of spending money on feed to buy these things.

"That's right, Zhuzi, you've seen it too. This is our situation. Why don't we just forget about it? The good ones are too expensive."

Only then did He Yuzhu realize why Tian Yuecheng and Tian Yuexing were very excited but also a little worried on their way here.

It turns out that buying livestock now is like buying a lottery ticket. It was obvious that they did not win the jackpot today, so the two of them told the truth. No matter who paid for the purchase, they would feel bad if they spent too much.

What a simple man.

"Uncle Tian, ​​don't worry. The money Weiguo gave me when I came here was enough."

He Yuzhu didn't know how much a head of livestock cost now, so in order to allay the two's concerns, he took out the banknotes he had prepared in advance from his pocket, which was not much, only about one thousand yuan.

When Tian Yuecheng saw He Yuzhu carrying such a huge sum of money, he quickly covered it with his hand.

"Zhu Zi, put it away quickly. It's better to be careful."

Although Tian Yuexing had seen so much money before, it belonged to the entire village. But now it was one thousand yuan belonging to one person, which had a huge impact on him.

I thought: "Is it so easy to make money in Beijing?"

If He Yuzhu knew what the old man was thinking, he could only say in his heart: "It's not easy to live in the capital for a long time."

Seeing that the timing was wrong, He Yuzhu struck while the iron was hot and said, "Uncle Tian, ​​do you think the money is enough?"

"That's enough. That's enough."

"My kid is a good kid. Weijun, you have to work hard in the future, but don't embarrass your brother."

What could Tian Weijun say? The role model was too good and he could only be scolded.

"Yes, Dad."

"Sixth Brother, just be content. The guards are pretty good too."

Tian Yuecheng was delighted to see Tian Yuexing praising his son, but he still said with all his strength: "He is still far behind his brother Weiguo."

"Uncle Tian, ​​Uncle Tian, ​​can Wan Neng buy the livestock first?"

"Haha, Zhuzi is right. Since Weiguo is so willing, I will risk my reputation to buy a strong animal. This way, we in Tianjia Village won't have to go to Taoshuping to beg for help."

"Brother, you are right."

In this way, under the leadership of Tian Yuexing, they arrived at the end of the street, in front of an inconspicuous house.

He Yuzhu felt very familiar with this scene. Isn't this what he did in Beijing? It seems that the owner of this courtyard has considerable power in the local area.

Tian Yue raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Dang~dang~"

"Who?"

"Tian Yuexing from Tianjiawan."

"crunch~"

"Fifth cousin, why are you here?"

"Come take care of your business."

The middle-aged man who opened the door was very cautious. He looked at He Yuzhu and the others and asked:

"Fifth cousin, who are these?"

"Someone in the house."

"Then come in, everyone."

As soon as he entered the yard, He Yuzhu saw a donkey and a yellow horse. Although they looked malnourished, at first glance they were no match for the stuff outside.

He Yuzhu also knew that the water in each row was very deep, and it was not enough to just look at the surface. He had to let Tian Yuexing take a look.

"Sixth son, my uncle is here to talk to you about something else but buying an animal. How much do you want to sell your donkey for?"

Although Tian Yuexing liked the yellow horse, it was too expensive. Although Weiguo had prepared a lot, it must have been a difficult time for him, so he decided to save as much as possible.

"Fifth cousin, you have a good eye. I spent a lot of effort to buy this donkey from another place. We are not strangers. Three hundred and fifty, you can take it away."

"We'll talk about the price later. I'm going to touch my belly first." After saying that, his eyes turned to He Yuzhu.

The reason why Tian Yuexing asked about the price first was actually against the rules, but he and Liuzi were more or less related, so he thought of asking the price first so that He Yuzhu would be mentally prepared. If He Yuzhu felt that the price was too high, then he would not buy it and would stop there.

He Yuzhu also understood what Mr. Tian meant, and nodded and said with a smile:

"Uncle Tian, ​​why don't you take a look at the horse? If the price is right, we'll take both."

When Liuzi heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and he thought to himself: "I miscalculated. I didn't expect that the young man who came with my fifth uncle is the real boss."

So he quickly took out a pack of local cigarettes and handed one to He Yuzhu.

"Brother, what do you call me?"

He Yuzhu was also a man who would not hit a smiling person. He took it and lit it, then said, "He Yuzhu, from the capital."

When Liuzi heard that He Yuzhu was from the capital, the smile on his face became even wider.

"Comrade He, don't worry. What I sell are all genuine and good animals. I never cheat anyone. There is no better stock within a hundred miles."

He Yuzhu was too lazy to verify whether what he said was true or not, and just pretended to agree. Now he only believed in old man Tian Yuexing's eyes. If he said he would buy it, he would pay for it, and the rest was nonsense.

After searching for a while, Tian Yuexing came back happily and said:

"Zhu Zi, they are all good animals. They are not very old. You can say they are still youngsters."
