The He Family Brother of Farming

In the evening, He Eryecheng, who had gone out early in the morning, finally returned home, and came back with a calf.

When the calf was brought into the village, it was surrounded by crowds. People who heard about it, men, women and children, rushed to the center of the village one after another, almost drowning the two of them and the cow. All kinds of envy and jealousy, now the villagers have a new topic to gossip.

Someone in the village who buys a large amount of livestock will always attract the attention of the whole village, so He Er is always smiling when faced with various questions from the villagers. Smiling and pretending they didn’t hear it, they led the cattle and drove home. Ye Cheng was also entangled with the baskets on his back. In the end, the two saw that the villagers asked more and more questions. Tell them to get out of the way.

Maverick may also be facing so many strangers, he seemed a little panicked and impatient, and kept twisting. If He Er hadn't held onto the rope firmly, he would have almost broken free several times.

"I'm sorry, everyone. This cow is timid when he first arrived, so don't surround him. It depends on the opportunities in the future. It's getting late today, so we'll go home first."

Seeing that Ye Chengcheng said so, the villagers were embarrassed to pester him any more, and moved out of the way. Looking at the backs of the two, the villagers sighed a little.

"This calf looks good at first glance, must have spent a lot of money?"

"It seems that He Er's life is getting better and better these days. It's only been a long time since the family separated, and the cows have been bought."

"Hey, don't tell me, we have worked hard for most of our lives, and our family can't buy half of them. Sure enough, people still can't compare."

"Do you know that He Er bought it? Maybe it was Ye Cheng's?"

"This one……"

……

"By the way, did you hear anything last night?"

"What movement?"

"Hey, Third Uncle, who doesn't know that you can't be shaken when you fall asleep. Didn't Er Gouzi's dog bark a lot last night, ask?"

"It's true what you said, and I don't know why."

"What's the fuss about this? It must be that kid Ye Cheng who went into the mountain again. Why doesn't he come back in the middle of the night and make a mess?"

"Tsk, I guess I've found something good again. They also have that ability. If we...who have the guts to go in."

"So, those who are not envious of this matter, let's go."

……

When He Er took the cow home, Zhang Lian was also surprised when he saw it, but he didn't expect them to move so fast and bought the cow back.

"Master, why... this cow cost a lot of money, right? You didn't bring much money when you left today, why did you suddenly buy a cow?"

He Er tied the rope to the post in front of the barn. Facing his daughter-in-law's question, he was still cheerful. He stroked the back of the cow with his big hand and replied, "Well, when we were about to come back, there happened to be someone selling it. Chengzi and I saw the cow. Not bad, we negotiated and bought the cow back."

Ye Cheng also just put down the basket, and he also smiled, "Don't worry about the money, big sister, the venison sold for a good price today, and it's because of our luck that we happened to meet."

He poured himself a glass of water and took a big gulp, then continued: "Didn't Xiaohe always want to buy a cow or a donkey before? After asking the price, it's not very expensive, and our money is just enough to buy it." He reached out and made a gesture.

"How much?" Li Ran, who got the news and came from home, had just entered the door, and saw his hand gestures, and couldn't help being a little surprised, "It's just a calf, why is it so expensive?"

"That's right." Zhang Lian was also surprised. Looking at the calf, she suddenly felt a little distressed, "You have worked so hard to get two of them, and this calf only cost the price of two venisons."

He Tian, ​​who came back after Li, heard this, and hurriedly said: "Mother, uncle, this is actually nothing. Think about it, when the cow grows up, he can help us do more things. Isn't that better than those two dead deer?" Is it worth more?"

"Hey, it was a coincidence. The family was in a hurry to spend money, but they were reluctant to sell the big one, so they sold the small one. Otherwise, it would be really hard to find a cow to buy at this time." He Er smiled and patted the calf again. body, "Those sold in the market may not be as good as it."

"We also know this, it's just that it's not worth the hard work for you." Li Ran also walked over to touch the calf, and the other was very docile and not afraid of life, so he just stood there and let others pet him, "Hey, that's fine, It will be easier for you to work if there are more cows in the house, lest Xiao He's kid keep talking, Xiaotian, you should take good care of them in the future."

"Hey, I see." He Tian went to the kitchen to get some straw and put it in front of the calf, and then according to He Er's instructions, he found a wooden basin, filled it with clean water, put some salt in it, and put them on the pillar together side.

After finishing all this, I remembered, "Where is Xiaohe?"

"Lying inside." The four adults were sitting around talking together, and upon hearing his words, Zhang Lian replied casually.

"Still sleeping?" He Er asked worriedly, could it be that he was frightened by what happened yesterday?

"Well, isn't it? I almost stayed in bed today." Li Ran answered while digging out the things in the basket, planning to make dinner later, so he might as well have dinner together at He's house tonight.

Now Lian Yecheng was worried, and looked up at the room, "Is there really nothing wrong?" You won't get sick from the fright of what happened yesterday, right?

"It's okay, Brother Li helped me press the medicine today, he was lying on the bed because he didn't want to move."

He Eryecheng was relieved after hearing this, "I said why I didn't see Xiaohe come out to look at the cattle. Since he is still resting, let's forget it. Ah Ran, let's make dinner quickly?"

"Okay, wait." Li Ran said and went to the kitchen with the pork bones bought by the two of them.

Here, He Tian clapped his hands and pulled Ye Lin, who was watching the cow, towards the house.

It was quite quiet inside, He Tian called out twice but didn't hear his brother answer, so he lifted a corner of the curtain to take a look, the light was a little dim, he couldn't see clearly, so he called out again softly.

"Xiaohe?"

Then the figure on the bed moved, and after a while, he rolled over and sat up. He He rubbed his eyes, "What's the matter, brother?"

"woke up?"

"Yeah." Stretched, He He didn't know if it was his illusion. After getting massaged by Li Ran at noon, his body didn't seem to be so sore now, and his legs seemed to be relieved a lot, but he slept too much. Some pain.

"Wait for me." After all, he still remembered that he hadn't changed his clothes yet, and he happened to see that the clothes were folded on the cabinet thoughtfully, and he could reach them with his hands.

After I changed my clothes and washed my face, I walked out slowly. Fortunately, the door of the room did not have a threshold, otherwise it would be a little embarrassing.

"Father and the others are back?" As soon as he woke up, he heard the voices of the adults in the yard.

"I just arrived for a while, and I brought something good." He Tian leaned in front of him and said a little mysteriously.

"what?"

"You'll find out when you go to the yard." He Tian was still trying to keep a secret.

Ye Lin, who was silent and just staring at He He, seemed to be sure that he was really all right before he looked away, looked at the threshold of the gate, and said, "Uncle He bought the cow back today, do you want to buy it now?" Should I watch it, or wait until I go out to eat?"

He He was taken aback, "Bull?"

Seeing Ye Lin bluntly put it bluntly, He Tian felt a little bored, "Yeah, I just got home, but I'm just a calf."

He He was very happy when he heard that he bought the cow, and his attention was no longer on the calf his brother was talking about.

"Father really bought the cow back?" Wei Wei opened his eyes wide, He He confirmed again, Ye Lin stared at him for a while, and He He was a little puzzled, "What's wrong? Looking at me like this?"

Ye Lin looked at it for a few more seconds before shaking his head: "Didn't you dream last night?"

"No, it's dawn."

"Oh." Ye Lin took his hand and walked out directly, "Go out and have a look, can you go?"

"Yes." It must be possible.

He He paused for two seconds before reacting. Ye Lin asked the meaning of that sentence before. He blinked and leaned towards him naturally to relieve his burden. Ye Lin glanced at him again , "Yeah." Turning around, he helped him walk out slowly, and only let go when he helped him step over the threshold.

Seeing that the two of them acted naturally, Xu Shi silently withdrew his hand and followed behind silently.

As soon as he went out, He He's attention was all on the calf, and he rubbed his eyes to the side. When the cow saw him coming, he just glanced at him, and then continued to chew the straw with his head down. He He stretched out his hand to test first. After touching it, seeing that there was no response from the other party, he began to look at it carefully with peace of mind.

Seeing him like this, Ye Cheng who was sitting over there smiled and asked loudly: "Xiaohe, isn't this cow good?"

He He nodded again and again. Although he didn't know anything about it, he thought it was good to see Maverick's spirit.

"Father, Uncle Ye, why did you think of buying a cow?" He He couldn't put it down while touching the back of the cow, and asked with sparkling eyes as he turned his head.

So the two said what they said before, and He He sighed after hearing it, it was really time to catch up.

"But Uncle Ye, how can I say that this cow was bought by my father?" In the past, it was easy to talk about some small things, but now it is a cow. , how can it be said that it belongs to their family?

As soon as he asked this question, there was a sudden silence in the yard. Zhang Lian didn't think of this until now, and quickly followed Ye Cheng, "That's right, I bought it with the money from selling venison, why do you say that I am the head of the house?" Bought it? Master, what's going on?"

Ye Chenghe and the two looked at each other, and Ye Chengcai said, "Don't worry, big sister, we will talk about this matter after we have dinner."

"But……"

Zhang Lian still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by He Er: "Okay, just listen to what Cheng Zi said, and we will talk about it together later, am I the kind of person who takes advantage of things?"

Zhang Lian looked at this and then that, and finally said discouragedly: "Well, I will listen to you and talk about it later."

He He who threw out the topic also listened to their words, and his mind changed slightly, guessing what he was going to say later, feeling as if his face had been bitten by a mosquito, and subconsciously raised his hand to scratch it, not wanting to stretch it halfway He was caught, so he looked over.

Ye Lin held his hand and said in a low voice, "I just touched a cow."

"Oh." He He responded, and changed his other hand to scratch, "The weather has just started to heat up, and there are more mosquitoes."

"I'll burn more wormwood later, wash your hands first, and wait until tomorrow to see." Ye Lin asked him to stand and fetch water by himself.

"Hmm." He He nodded, then remembered something, and turned to He Tian, ​​"Where are the two sheep? Brother, have you gone to see them today? How are you doing? Is the injury serious?"

He Tian nodded, "Going, it shouldn't be very heavy, and I can stand up already, but I haven't eaten much yet, maybe I'm in a new place, after a few more days, I should get used to it and it should be fine."

"Well, that's good, I'm still worried that my leg will be broken." He He continued to touch the cow unconsciously, looked at his yard, and whispered, "It seems that we really need to build a house as soon as possible. There are more and more of these things, and there is simply not enough space.”

"What are you muttering about?" Ye Lin came over with a basin and heard him talking to himself, "Hurry up and wash, we will have dinner later."

"Oh, good." Withdrawing his hand, seeing that he was still holding the basin and not putting it down, He He glanced at it and went in to wash it.
