Chapter 431 The old cow is gone
"Am I afraid of him?"

Sun Jianping hugged Xiao Xingwen and lay comfortably on the warm quilt, "I wanted to buy the big red horse today, but then I saw that the legs were broken. Even if I raise it well, it will still be disabled. So, Didn’t make a move.”

"That's right. I was also optimistic about a big mule, but it's still too expensive. When we get through this year and the horse is foaled, we won't have to spend money on buying another animal."

Lao Cao closed the thick account book and asked, "What happened to the horse and the cow?"

"Uncle Cheng said that the cows don't have much life left. That's just the past few days. The horses are still fine. They can be fed with fine feed."

"That cow is also pitiful. It's the end of autumn. You ask Lao Cheng to feed it more good food so that it can go on the road..." The old man sniffed. On the one hand, he thought of the dying old cow, and then on himself. At this age, I feel a bit like an old man, but on the other hand, I feel sorry for the thirty yuan!
All for nothing!
Forget it, just spend the flowers!

Just think of it as accumulating virtue and doing good deeds!

If it continues to be left in Xiaoxishan, Lao Niu will not be able to get a good death, not even a whole corpse will be left!
"Go to sleep!"

The night was quiet. Tomorrow was the 21st of the twelfth lunar month. Another year was about to pass. Sun Jianping tossed and turned but couldn't sleep.

What are your parents doing? Everyone should be asleep by this time!
Grandpa...

Grandpa is old and there is no one around to take care of him. Can the old man do it?

Uncle Cheng's words today made his heart go back and forth. My grandpa is also in his seventies this year. His seventies are rare in his life. Even though he has a daughter and son-in-law, they are far apart and have no way to serve him. What if...

He thought wildly, gradually became sleepy, and fell asleep.

In his dream, he saw two women sitting opposite each other in front of the window embroidering. One was his mother and the other was Miss Qian. He wanted to say hello to his mother, but her mother just smiled at him. He reached out to grab her, but only caught one. Tuan air...

Another layer of clear snow fell outside the window. Sun Jianping woke up from his dream. He sat up and looked at the sky outside, and yawned deeply.

The old cat meowed out of bed, jumped on the windowsill, looked outside, wagged its tail, and meowed.

"Master Cat goes out to inspect the territory early in the morning?"

Sun Jianping tugged on the cat's ears, and the old cat turned around and rolled his eyes at him. Then he jumped to the end of the kang, pulled out a mat and coiled it up in a circle, and went to sleep.

"Damn it makes you look like you have to get up early!"

He smiled and flicked the old cat on the forehead, which made the old cat unhappy and stretched out his little paw to scratch him.

When he opened the door, a blast of cold air hit his face, making him shiver from the cold!
As the year draws to a close, the weather gets colder!
He picked up the broom and swept both yards. He was sweating all over, and the little bean bag jumped out, leaving a bunch of small plum blossoms on the snow.

"Wang Wang!"

The little guy stood on the snow, raised his little head and looked at the rising sun, and let out a milky cry!
Sun Jianping wiped his sweat and waved to the little bean bag. The puppy ran over and bit his thick cotton shoes like a mischief, shaking its little head back and forth and gnawing hard.

"Hey, hey, I've gained weight again!"

He picked up the little bean bag and pinched his beard, "You have a beard at a young age. You can tell he is not a good dog!"

"Woof... woof woof!"

Xiaodoubao wagged his tail, and his big watery eyes were full of joy!
"Go and play!"

He put the puppy on the ground, and the lively little guy ran around looking around, protecting the safety of everything in the yard like a dedicated watchdog. He didn't forget to mind his own business when he heard someone walking outside. , ran to the door and barked through the wooden fence.

"This little bastard is pretty awesome!"

Wu Laoer sleeved his hands, tremblingly opened the door and got in, "Jianping, are you, Uncle Cao, up?"

"Not yet. Is there something wrong with my second uncle?"

"Well, come here, my second uncle wants to discuss something with you!" Wu Laoer's two eyes, more white than black, flashed with cunning light. He called Sun Jianping to the corner and lowered his voice, "Can you carry it to the second uncle? Uncle, do you want some money? Second uncle will give you three points of interest!"

Sun Jianping frowned, why is this person so thick-skinned!
"Second uncle, you are still borrowing money from me. I don't even know who to borrow money from!" Sun Jianping spread his hands, "You can calculate the number of jobs I have done this year. It only costs sixty yuan. , I sent twenty-five yuan each to my father and my mother, and I only had ten yuan left with me. It’s the New Year, and I’m still thinking about buying a pair of gloves. Look, my hands are so cold..."

"Don't you educated youths receive a subsidy of fifteen yuan a month?"

Wu Laoer was unwilling to give in and asked a question.

"It's gone a long time ago. I won't give it to you in August this year!"

"Then... that's okay, I'll go find someone else to ask." A trace of disappointment flashed in Wu Laoer's eyes, and he stamped his feet, "Just get busy!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran away. Xiaodoubao chased him and barked, but Sun Jianping called him back.

"Is Wu Laoer here?"

The door opened with a creak, and Lao Cao walked out, his face terrifyingly gloomy!
"Well, I didn't lend it to him if he borrowed money from me."

"If he comes to you to borrow money again, just ask him to come to me! He is such a money trick, and he has lost all his money!" Lao Cao was furious, "Let's see if I don't beat him to death!"

"Uncle, please don't do it, because such a bastard is not worthy of being hurt by his anger."

Sun Jianping smiled, took off his hat and wiped his sweat, "I'll go to the stables to have a look."

"Go ahead and come back early for dinner."

In the stable, Old Chengtou was sitting next to the old cow, looking at the old cow who was already very angry, his eyes full of reluctance.

"Uncle, is it almost time?"

"Ah."

Lao Niu raised his head and glanced at him. There were no tears in his eyes, and his eyes were gentle and peaceful, as usual.

Even though he was a cow in this life, plowing fields for others, being whipped and insulted, enduring hunger, and working hard for twenty years to get to where he is today, Lao Niu has taken everything lightly.

Sun Jianping felt very uncomfortable. He entered the adobe house, took a ladle of water and milk, walked in, and handed it to the old cow.

Lao Niu glanced down, opened his mouth, and took a slow sip. Light flashed in his eyes again.

It seems that at this moment, it has returned to its childhood. The days of happily running around the cows, although short-lived, are one of the few happy moments in its life.

The old cow suddenly stood up and mooed twice. Old Chengtou knew that the cow's time had come, so he no longer stopped him and opened the wooden door to let him walk out of the stable.

The old cow walked very slowly, as thin as a walking skeleton. It circled the yard and looked beyond the adobe wall toward the distant direction of Xiaoxi Mountain.

That's where it was born.

Two people, one cow, and three pairs of eyes were all looking in that direction. The old cow suddenly knelt on the ground, looked at his hometown, and let out a long howl!
This one voice fulfills the last bit of attachment in this life!
When Sun Jianping saw this, his eyes couldn't help but get wet.

The old cow lay quietly in the ice and snow, with frozen milk still stuck to the corner of his mouth, and slowly closed his eyes.

It's gone.

Also relieved.
