Leisure time of raising children

Chapter 709 Buying a Horse
There is a bottle of sauce to eat with pancakes, and the pancakes will not feel too dry and hard to swallow.

Since it is necessary to return to the capital as quickly as possible, it is obviously unrealistic to walk back.

Zhou Chengyan has both martial arts and lightness skills, and his speed is very fast.

But Chen Yingyu doesn't know martial arts.

In the past, she was just a young lady who didn't leave the door and didn't go out.Although she practiced sword with Zhou Chengyan all day these days, and her body is much better than before, she still can't run very fast.

So they need a carriage to go back to Beijing. Zhou Chengyan and Chen Yingyu are not familiar with the people around here, and it is not easy to go out to buy and sell horses.

At this time, Lin Wanjiao is needed.

Lin Wanjiao frowned, feeling that the matter was a bit difficult, but she agreed.

She saved Chen Yingyu and Zhou Chengyan completely from Wang Xiulan, Lin Mingyong, Lin Shouyi, and Lin Mingjie's family.

She grew up in the village from a young age. When she was young, she was well-raised by Wang Xiulan, and the girl spread the word all over the village diligently.

Then, she became a widow at a young age, and she was unwilling to marry again with a child. The matchmaker failed to be a matchmaker, and the whole village who publicized this matter knew about it.

This made Lin Wanjiao glorious again, there was no family in the Lin Family Village who didn't know her, Lin Wanjiao.

If people in the village saw it and then spread it to Wang Xiulan, it would be hard to explain why they went to the town to buy horses rashly.

Fortunately, there is no unparalleled road, when Lin Wanjiao went back to Lao Lin's house to chat with Wang Xiulan.

From Wang Xiulan's mouth, I heard that there is a big family in the next village who is going to move to another place, and it is too troublesome to bring the two horses of the family.

A piece of horse is enough to move things, so I want to ask around, ask who wants to buy a horse,
Lin Wanjiao responded casually, as if she asked inadvertently, "Mother, tell me which company wants to sell this horse? Isn't this horse cheap?"

"The family next door is called Lao Qing, and their family is considered a big family in their village. They made a lot of money selling livestock when they were young, so they only have two horses in the family."

Wang Xiulan didn't realize that there was something wrong with her daughter's tone, so she replied very casually.

Lin Wanjiao lowered her head and pondered.After hesitating for a moment, he still tentatively asked Wang Xiulan,
"Mother, isn't the horse they sell bad? Otherwise, why would they be willing to sell the horse?"

"That's not true. I heard from others that Lao Qing's family is good at raising cattle and horses, and if he wants to sell this horse for a good price, he must have a fat waist and a strong body. Otherwise, everyone else is not good at it. Stupid, let go of the good horses in the town and buy their sick horses."

Wang Xiulan thought about it carefully before answering. When she chatted with the aunt in the village earlier, they talked in detail.

She is not curious about this matter, after all, she has a mule at home, and there is no need to buy a horse.

But after hearing a lot from others, Wang Xiulan also had some impressions in her mind.

"Why are you asking this?" Wang Xiulan heard her daughter's question, with a strange tone in her tone.

"You don't want to buy a horse, do you? Jiaojiao, we have a mule at home. If you want to use it, you can come and get it. Your family has only saved such a little money until now. An An is still young, and you are still young. For that little money, let’s save some money.”

"Mom, you're thinking too much. I won't buy it, I'm just curious. I don't go to town all day, why should I buy a horse?"

Lin Wanjiao smiled slightly, dispelling Wang Xiulan's doubts.

"You just need to know what's in your mind. What is there to be curious about? Mother is telling you about other things in the village..."

Wang Xiulan felt relieved, and chatted with Lin Wanjiao about the gossip that happened in the village during this time while nibbling melon seeds.

Lin Wanjiao was a little absent-minded, and only responded to Wang Xiulan from time to time.

When she came home at night, she had a rough idea in her heart.

The next door village was actually not too far from their village, and it should be within half an hour's walk.

If she bought the horse from Lao Qing's family, Zhou Chengyan's need for a horse would be resolved.

As for the carriage, the carriage is easier to solve. Since the family sells livestock, they should know the carpenter who rides the carriage.

At that time, please ask him to help with a carriage. The material of the carriage does not need to be very good, just about the same. It should be done very quickly.

After the decision was made, Lin Wanjiao felt a little more relieved from the burden in her heart.

At dinner at night, I told Zhou Chengyan that,
Zhou Chengyan was able to let go of the big rock that weighed on his heart,
"Madam Lin, please, if you weren't willing to help, I'm afraid I'm still worried."

Zhou Chengyan didn't know anyone in the village, so if he rashly went shopping in the village and was caught by the men in black looking around, it would be over.

Fortunately, Lin Wanjiao was willing to help, otherwise the situation between him and Chen Yingyu would be much worse than it is now.

Early the next morning, Lin Wanjiao wanted to go to the next village after breakfast, so that she could go early and finish early.

According to what Wang Xiulan said, the horses of Laoqing's family are fat and strong, which proves that she is not the only one who wants to buy their horses.

The main reason is that she went late and the horse was bought by someone else, so wouldn't it be a waste of time for her to go there.

It is troublesome to go to the next village.

Lin Wanjiao didn't take An An with her, and told all the big tigers and little tigers, as well as Chen Yingyu, Zhou Chengyan to help her look at An An, and she hurried out.

Although the sun has been out for the past few days, the snow outside has not completely melted, and the rural land is also muddy with the melted snow.

Lin Wanjiao walked forward cautiously, just like what she guessed yesterday, she walked for an hour before reaching the next village.

She only knew that Lao Qing's family in the village sold horses, but she didn't know where Lao Qing's family lived.

Yesterday, Lin Wanjiao turned the corner and asked Wang Xiulan for a long time, but she still couldn't find out where his home was.

Although Wang Xiulan knew about it, she only heard it mentioned by others. She was not from the next village, so it was normal not to know.

The new year has just passed, and the weather is good these days, and the middle-aged laborers in the village have already gone to the town to find work.

As soon as Lin Wanjiao entered the village, she saw some old people sitting under the trees and chatting.

This scene is the same as those old people in Linjiacun,
Lin Wanjiao stepped forward bravely and asked politely,

"Grandparents, I would like to ask, where is Lao Qing's family in your village?"

—— Lin Wanjiao prayed in her heart.

"Old Qing's house, go straight there, then turn left, and then go ahead, the second house at the first fork in the road is their house."

An old woman spoke, tremblingly holding a cane in her hand to show Lin Wanjiao the way.
