Uncle Zhang sighed again: "I didn't expect that you would have such an adventure that time. Could that old man with the white beard be a living god?"
There were some truths and some lies in Yuan Qiu's words. Uncle Zhang believed her so deeply that even Yuan Hao was confused by her. Could it be that what her sister said was true
"Uncle Zhang, does this ox cart belong to Uncle Liu's family? How much does it cost to rent a trip?" Yuan Qiu changed the topic at the right time.
Uncle Zhang glanced at the buffalo cart and sighed: "It costs fifteen cents to rent a trip. Although it is a bit expensive, there is nothing we can do about it. In our village, Liu Si's family is the only one who owns this buffalo cart."
Thinking that he had just earned another thirty taels of silver, there would be many places to use bullock carts in the future. Wouldn't it be more convenient if he had one at home
"Uncle Zhang, I want to buy a bullock cart. How much does it cost?"
Uncle Zhang was slightly stunned. If it had been in the past, he would have advised her not to buy it. The days were still long and it would be better to save some money. But today, he saw the two siblings using two baskets of herbs in the hands of Boss Xu in a short time. In exchange for thirty taels of silver, knowing that even if they didn't save money, they would get better and better in the future, they laughed and said: "Buying an ox and a cart will cost about seven or eight taels. I saw someone buying it in the market a few days ago." The cow was sold for seven taels of silver after bargaining, and if you buy a wooden cart to hitch it, it won't cost more than one tael of silver at most."
Yuan Qiu nodded and immediately said cheerfully: "Then let's go buy it now. We have our own ox cart. It will be convenient for you to send fish and so on in the future, right?"
When Uncle Zhang heard this, he realized that the bullock cart was bought for him. He immediately waved his hands and said, "This can't be done. How can I let you siblings buy me a bullock cart? It can't be done."
Yuan Qiu was happy when he saw Uncle Zhang's honest look, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, I didn't say that I bought this ox cart for you. Yuan Hao and I also need to use it, and we don't know how to drive the cart. , I will have to trouble you in the future."
Uncle Zhang is stupid, but he is not stupid. He knew that Yuan Qiu was trying to give him an advantage. He wanted to refuse, but when he thought about Xiaopang's future, he gritted his teeth and accepted.
When I heard that I wanted to buy an ox cart, the happiest person was Yuan Hao. After all, he was only ten years old and still a child. In the past, Zhao Xiaosi would show off his ox cart in front of him and Xiaopang all day long. He looked so arrogant. How could he I can’t forget that now his family is also going to buy a bullock cart. How can he be unhappy
When Uncle Zhang drove two ox carts back to the village, a large group of people gathered in front of Yuan Qiu's house. The noisy people didn't know what they were talking about.
Uncle Zhang wondered: "Didn't I find someone to start building a house today? It's been this afternoon, why haven't the old houses been demolished yet?"
Those with sharp eyes saw Uncle Zhang pulling two ox carts back to the village. The Xia family siblings sat in one cart each. superior.
Liu Si was also in the crowd. When he saw his bullock cart returning to the village, he stepped forward and took the rope from Uncle Zhang's hand, pointing to another bullock cart: "Whose bullock cart is this?"
When Yuan Hao heard the question, he quickly stood up, patted his chest and said, "It's from our family."
Yuan Qiu answered: "Our family bought it together with Uncle Zhang's family." After saying that, he winked at Uncle Zhang.
Uncle Zhang nodded understandingly. He knew Yuan Qiu's concerns. If she just said that Yuan Qiu bought it, her shameless uncle and aunt might be jealous and might come to borrow the car every three days. Just borrow it and it becomes theirs, something Xia Tieniu and his family can definitely do.
