Farmhouse smoke rises

Chapter 23

From time to time, there are birds chirping from above, because this place is not far from the foot of the mountain, and you can even faintly hear the murmur of running water from here.The picture of two children picking mushroom roots seriously is so peaceful and warm.

Although his body is thin and his hair is withered and yellow, what surrounds him is a kind of spiritual abundance and happiness from the heart.

Just let me be a child again, Su Yu thought.Just let me enjoy this good life one more time.

Wang Sang and Su Fang, who had been walking for a while, finally came to Su Yu and the others. Looking at Su Yu and Su Bai's almost full baskets, and seeing that their own baskets only had a few sporadic pieces of mushrooms, Wang Sang felt a little nervous. Regretfully said: "We walked a long way and didn't see any mushrooms. If I had known earlier, I would have been here with you."

Su Fang said with a bit of complaint: "Mother, you walked too fast, you just kept climbing up, without looking around, and I don't know why you are so anxious, mother."

Wang Sang gave a hey laugh, which also had some tacit meaning.

"Then since we're all back, let's pick them quickly. I'll go back to cook for my father at noon. I don't know how he bought the cow." Su Yu continued to squat down to pick mushrooms, regardless of Su Bai. , walked forward on his own.

So while the group was still picking mushrooms on the mountain, Su Gu'an had already arrived in the town.He firmly remembered Wang Sang's instructions, and went to a place far away from the Jin Mansion.

There were not many cattle sold in the market, and there was nothing suitable to pick and choose, so he was not in a hurry, so he negotiated the price with the merchants.

"Brother, why don't you take a look at this one again? It's black and white, it looks strong and can work!" The cattle seller introduced his cattle excitedly, what can I say.

Su Gu'an looked at it for a long time before slowly shaking his head: "No, this cow looks too thin, and it doesn't look like it can work..."

"Brother, why don't you take a look at this again? I just bought this scalper a few days ago. Touch it, it has a lot of meat!" The cattle seller refused to admit defeat, and introduced others.

Su Gu'an looked at it this time, and felt that he was still not satisfied. Although the cow seemed to be quite strong, it hadn't stopped since the beginning, and it didn't look easy to drive.

Su Gu'an suddenly set his sights on an old cow over there. The old cow's belly was slightly bigger, and his body didn't look that strong, but he looked like he could bear hardships and stand hard work, so he pointed at the old cow. The cow asked: "How do you sell this cow?"

"Brother, you have a good eye! If you like this cow, I will consider it cheaper for you, two hundred guan!" The cow seller stretched out two fingers and put it in front of Su Gu'an, indicating that the price is very good. .

"Two hundred guan? Why is it so expensive?" Su Gu'an couldn't help asking: "It's a bit too expensive, I can't buy such an expensive one at all."

The cow seller brought the cow and told Su Gu'an: "Look at the belly of this cow, you can see it. It has been pregnant for several months. Isn't there a cow in its stomach? This cow here is a good deal!"

Su Gu'an still shook his head: "That's not okay. I originally wanted to buy it to help the family. How can I do it when I'm pregnant? I'll look at other things."

But the cattle seller was a little anxious. The cattle were old and could not be sold. He finally found a buyer, but he couldn’t let it go. So he gritted his teeth and said with pain: "How about it, brother, I see you You're a nice person, I'll treat you as a repeat customer, and I'll give you another fifty guan, no less!"

Su Gu'an was still a little angry when he heard it, and when he looked down at the cow again, he always felt that it was looking at him beggingly, maybe it would be a good buy.

"Let's make it cheaper. Once you look at the cow, you won't live long. Even if you die and sell it for money, you may not be able to sell it for much. If you give me another fifty guan, I will buy it." Su Gu'an discussed again price.It's not easy to earn this money, but you have to save it, save it if you can.

The cattle seller saw that Su Guan was not a talkative master, and wanted to sell this slow-moving cow as soon as possible, so he nodded helplessly: "Brother, you are too good at bargaining, and I will lose a lot in this deal. I!"

"Hey, little brother will definitely sell a lot of money in the future, don't worry, I will take this cow away, thank you!" After paying the money, Su Guan walked back holding the cow, looking at the sun in the sky to judge If you hurry up, you can still catch up with the lunch at noon.

Suddenly several people surrounded him, and Su Gu'an immediately grasped the package in his hand tightly when he saw that the situation was wrong, and that hand tightly grasped the rein of the cow.

"What are you going to do?" Su Gu'an saw that he looked like someone from the Jin Mansion, could it be that he wanted money from him?Thinking of this, his legs were trembling, and he thought that if that was the case, he should just return the money, why not if he doesn't want it?

As a result, such a bad result as expected did not happen, but a child's voice sounded from behind him: "Hey, that man, is Miss Su Yu your daughter!"

Before he finished speaking, Jin Si walked over with his small square steps, still the same chubby look he saw a few days ago, not changed at all.

Seeing that it wasn't the gold landlord, Su Gu'an breathed a sigh of relief. If he saw that it was the Jin Si, there would be nothing to do. He must have ordered these people to stop him.

"So it's the young master, Su Yu is indeed my daughter." Su Gu'an replied respectfully.

Jin Si put on airs, but he looked good, and raised his head arrogantly: "Young master, I said that I did not mistake the person, it really is you! Come on, last time Sister Su Yu didn't tell me your home address, you can tell me again." I'll say it again."

Although Su Gu'an was very puzzled about why Jin Sifei was so obsessed with their home address, he said it honestly in order not to cause unnecessary complications: "Just leave the town and walk along that road, and then it's about thirty miles away. It looks like there is a fork in the road, follow the direction you are facing, don't turn left, just go straight to the village, and when you arrive at the village, the young master will just ask around and someone will tell you where my home is!"

Jin Si obviously didn't remember it, and sent someone to bring a piece of paper and a pen: "Come on, you draw the route map for me, otherwise I can't find it."

When Su Gu'an heard that he was still going to my house, he quickly glanced at the servant next to him. This servant also looked distressed, and most likely he didn't want the young master to run away.

But Su Gu'an still drew the correct road map. He was afraid that if the young master was unhappy and troubled their family again, it would be bad.

Jin Si, who got the road map, patted Su Guan on the shoulder very happily, and said as if to reward him again: "You did a good job, after a while, I'm not busy, young master, so I'll go to you Let's take a look, don't forget to prepare a good banquet when the time comes!"

In Su Gu'an's heart, the boss was actually unwilling. Our family doesn't have the money and place to entertain you, but he still smiled and replied: "Okay, if you can come to our house, young master, you will be very lucky!"
