206 Buying a Cow 2
Then Mu Xiu opened his mouth to look at the cow's teeth. It was neat and wide. If the teeth were good, the cow would be fast and clean when eating grass. Then Mu Xiu touched the cow's ears with his hands. His body temperature was normal. He touched the nasal fluid, which was clearing the nose fluid, and looked at the nasal cavity and eyes. The mucous membrane was pink, and his eyes were bright and moist. Finally, Mu Xiu squatted down and looked at the cow's hooves, without redness, swelling and ulcers.
"Dad, this cow." Mu Xiu said, pointing at the cow.
"I can't tell that this girl can still look at cows." Qin Laosan looked at Mu Xiu in surprise. After all, cows are rare, and they only started trading this year. Mu Xiu was very experienced and skilled in choosing cows.
"I'm showing off my skills." Mu Xiu was ashamed.
"Then it's the end, how much does it cost." Mushui always agreed with the decision he made to Mu Xiu.
"This cow is the best one here, I don't want it much, it's the market price, 600 yuan." Qin Laosan was also very happy.
"Okay, the deal." Mushui's psychological price is only 600, Muxiu was speechless again. Did Mushui not even pay the bargaining?
In this way, Mushui took out 600 yuan, bought the cow, continued to ride in Dahua's ox cart, and went home staggeringly.
On the way back, the villagers looked at Mushui leading the cows and asked curiously. When they learned that it was Mushui's newly bought cows, they were full of envious eyes and voices. After all, they were in the busy farming process, and there was a cow and could do a lot of work.
When they returned home, Zhou Shuilian and Mu Xiaocao and Chen Xuhui turned around the cow and looked around. The excitement and happiness appeared on their faces.
"Oh my God, we have a cow." Zhou Shuilian touched the cow, her hands trembling.
"With the cattle, the land harvesting is almost done, and my father no longer has to carry the plow." Mu Xiaocao thought of the straw rope scars left on Mu Shui's shoulders due to years of hard work.
"This cow cannot be too tired. It has just grown up. It needs to eat well and rest well." Mu Xiu reminded.
"I know, when we are cutting wheat, let it rest on the side." Chen Xuhui stretched out his hand and touched the cow's head.
"Divide the pigpen into two pieces, feeding the cows and pigs at the same time." The pigpen that Mu Xiu built was relatively large at the time. Now the two little pigs are still small and cannot occupy such a large place.
"Okay, I'll do it now." Mushui rolled up his sleeves, went to find Mu and started making partitions.
"I'll help too." Chen Xuhui followed.
"I'll go and cut some fresh grass." Mu Xiaocao took Li Pan out with her backpack on her back.
Mu Xiu looked at everyone's busy figures and smiled. The feeling of working together made her love for this family.
Soon, the wheat was about to be harvested. Although Mushui and Chen Xuhui only had one acre of three parts of the land, the yield was amazing. Each wheat ear was heavy, pressing the wheat straw into a curve, big and full. Standing in the ground, when the breeze blew, it seemed that a scent of wheat could be smelled.
Zhou Shuilian was still cooking at home and taking care of her children, and the rest went to the fields to harvest wheat.
It took only two days for the five people to harvest this little land. Mushui and Chen Xuhui carried golden wheat and tied it up neatly on the ox cart.
Although there are ox carts, the ground is still a little far from the edge of the field. The wheat bundles are not heavy. Two bundles are only dozens of kilograms at a time. However, after a day, it takes dozens of times to carry. Mushui and Chen Xuhui were pressed out of blood on the shoulders of the shoulders carrying the load, which looked shocking.
"You guys choose less at once, and there's no hurry to do this for a while." Mu Xiu put medicine on Mu Shui and Chen Xuhui's shoulders with distress.
"What's the matter? I'm used to it every year." Mushui said with a smile.
"After waiting, make this road wider and the ox cart can come in." Mu Xiu looked at the narrow field.
All the harvested wheat is taken to the drying yard, which is a large open space in the village. After the wheat is dried, it will be harvested. It is usually called a fighting yard. The family cannot finish this kind of life. It is their family’s fighting yard and others help. We also go to help others. There is no need to treat guests to dinner. Everyone helps each other.
Muxiu's family has little land and harvests quickly, so they have gone to dry wheat for a long time. After Muxiu's family has finished making wheat and finished picking up the wheat, some of them have not yet finished cutting the wheat. Muxiu's family began to bag and weigh the wheat and take it home.
Although Mu Xiu's land is small, the yield is good. The harvest of one acre of other people's land is only 230 kilograms of grain, while Mu Xiu's land is counted as acre of more than 200 kilograms of grain, and even Chen Xuhui's third-part land has collected 100 kilograms of grain.
This was also expected by Mu Xiu, because the amount of real estate that he owned was not high, so the land had to be well maintained. After all, the output of such 200 kilograms of grain was basically rented to plant the half acre of land in Sun Xingfu's family. This is already very good. The output of half acre of land above others is one acre of land. When the land is well maintained, it will definitely double.
Everyone knows the Mushui family's land, but who expected that such a land would have a low yield. For a time, the Mushui family became the focus again, and everyone came to ask, and Mushui naturally said everything, but... he didn't know that these were all done by Mu Xiu.
Everyone heard what Mushui said were clichés, and they all had their own ideas. Some people thought that Mushui was lucky, but maybe this place was not that bad. Some people thought Mushui was secretly hidden, and then left after talking, thinking Mushui was really unauthorized... Fortunately, Mushui didn't know, otherwise he would definitely feel very wronged...
After harvesting the wheat, we start to cultivate the land and plant other crops.
Mushui's family originally had few lands, but now there are cows again, so the land was almost done. Just as Mushui plowed the ground and overturned the soil, he suddenly heard a sound that made his back stiff.
"Son, your cow is so beautiful, it's so smooth, tsk, it's so cool!"
"Mom, what are you doing?" Mu Shui turned his head and said helplessly to Liu Yaomei.
"I'll see if my son is promising and can afford to buy cows. I'm sorry, we all have to rely on our hard work to turn the ground and plow the ground. Your elder brother and Mu Sheng are already exhausted. If the land at home is not cleaned up, the rice will be delayed! You are so popular now that we are all drinking the northwest wind! Mushui, what should we do?" Liu Yaomei said with a pity.
Mushui glanced at Liu Yaomei. Liu Yaomei lost a lot of weight in the spring harvest and bent her waist. At this time, she looked at Mushui with help, and Mushui felt uncomfortable again like last time.
