Shen Nian couldn't bring up his special abilities. He raised his chin slightly, pretending to be an expert and couldn't reveal his secrets. "I have special skills in taming animals."
Uncle Li: "…"
Shen Nian saw her mother coming out, ran over, and said with bright eyes: "Mom, I heard beef is delicious, shall we eat beef today?"
Li Xiuniang didn't expect her daughter to have such dangerous thoughts, and her face suddenly changed, "You can't kill cows. If you kill them, you will go to jail."
"Why?" The smile on Shen Nian's face disappeared in an instant.
She hasn't eaten delicious beef yet.
The little girl looked disappointed.
Li Xiuniang explained: "Cattle can plow the land and are the most important property of the farmer, so they cannot be killed."
Shen Nian's whole body's strength was drained, and he said in a disappointed tone, "If I had known, I wouldn't have caught him."
You can't eat it, because it will make people greedy if you leave it there.
Li Xiuniang was speechless.
Uncle Li didn't understand, "Sister Nian, cows have many uses. They can plow fields, load cars, and pull people. It's great to have more income for the family. Feed them well. There are many places where you can save energy with these cows." ."
If a family has a cow, it is a good thing that can be boasted for a year. The little girl does not understand the benefits of having a cow.
Shen Nian saw that his uncle liked the cow very much, so he said casually: "Uncle likes it? Then I'll give it to you."
Speaking it is as easy as giving out a multi-grain steamed bun.
Uncle Li didn't react.
Shen Er felt that what his daughter said was a good thing. Firstly, there was no shortage of transportation at home. Secondly, there was a workshop and the allocated land had to be rented out, so the role of cattle was not that great.
But the Li family is different.
The Li family has a lot of land, and having cattle is very convenient.
"Sister Nian, are you serious? Your uncle brought it back, but there is no room for regret." Shen Er said.
Shen Nian caught the cow just to eat it.
If you know you can't eat it, you won't want it.
"There is nothing to regret if you can't eat it. Take it away with you. Don't leave it at home. You are a greedy person."
You can't even eat bison, what a waste of government, how lenient it is!
Shen Er looked at his daughter's eyes with resentment, then looked at his brother-in-law, "Brother, look at it, you can only take this cow back."
Uncle Li was in a daze as he had an extra cow for nothing.
He slapped himself with a dull face.
It doesn't hurt.
Shen Er couldn't laugh or cry, "Brother, why are you beating yourself?"
"I want to see if I'm dreaming."
Shen Er: "No, no, this cow... Sister Nian is filial to her uncle."
Uncle Li finally came to his senses, and his eyes became more and more intense when he looked at the bison, as if he were looking at the cow in his dream.
Look at these hooves and horns. They are young and strong, so energetic.
"Sister Nian, I don't even know how to thank you."
Shen Nian learned from his second brother that every year at this time, his uncle came to deliver food to them, so they didn't starve to death in winter before.
She had a good impression of the Li family in her heart, and she said, "I am happy to be filial to my uncle."
This uncle kissed me a lot.
Uncle Li was a rough man and didn't notice the difference. He smiled naively and was overjoyed.
Shen Er loaded the bison into the cart, and Shen Kun taught his uncle to drive the cart. The bull was tamed by Shen Nian's mental power and became very obedient, so the teaching went smoothly.
Seeing that it was getting late, Uncle Li said goodbye and left.
Li Xiuniang took out the thick clothes she made for her parents, and brought her eldest brother to the door with a big bulging bag that contained unknown contents. "Brother, be careful on the road. I will go back to see my parents in the spring."
"You live your life well, your parents are with me and your second brother." Uncle Li said.
Seeing the girl putting a bag of things on the bullock cart, her brother-in-law followed closely behind him with rice and noodles on his shoulders. He declined and said, "What are you doing? Your life is really getting worse."
Shen Er suppressed his brother-in-law's hand that wanted to move the things back and said, "These things were originally prepared for you. Now that brother is here, I don't need to deliver them."
Li Xiuniang looked annoyed, "My eldest brother has been giving us food every year. I can't give him a gift in return?"
Uncle Li had no choice but to accept it.
"Okay, you go back, I'll leave first. Don't forget to take the children home when spring comes."
After saying that, he set up the bullock cart and left.
After so many years, it was the first time for Li Xiuniang to return a gift to her natal family, and she felt very complicated.
"It feels so good to be the master of the family!" she said with emotion.
Shen Er: "Well, if you want to go back later, let Brother Kun take you there. There is a carriage at home for convenience."
Shen Nian listened to her second brother talking about her grandma's house. The land there was fertile and the yield was much higher than that of their family. Her uncle came to deliver food to the family every year at this time. My cousins were also very kind and gave them whatever good things they had. Keep it.
I am even more looking forward to going to my grandma's house in the spring.
However, moving into a new house is more important right now.
"Mom, when are you moving?"
When Shen Nian asked, Brother Kun and others also looked at Li Xiuniang with burning eyes.
Until Shen Er's palm-sized hand slapped Shen Kun's shoulder and looked angry, "Why don't you ask me?"
"Father also listens to mother." Brother Kun was extremely honest.
At this time, Shen Nian said: "When I look for my husband in the future, I will also find someone who will listen to me in everything."
These words gave Shen Er a knowing blow, "You are still young, why should you look for a husband?"
Shen Nian didn't take her father's anger seriously, "My mother said that girls will get married sooner or later."
Shen Ersha looked at Li Xiuniang with a look of aggrievedness in his eyes.
"Why, isn't it? Can you keep your daughter for the rest of your life?" Li Xiuniang was angry.
Is she willing to give it up?
Shen Er said nothing. After a while, he muttered softly, "Why can't it be done?"
-
Uncle Li drove his bullock cart home much earlier than in previous years.
Some people were sitting and chatting at the entrance of the village. When they saw him coming back with an ox cart, his jaw almost dropped.
"Li Da, where does this cow of yours come from?"
"This looks like a bison. Why are bison so docile?"
Uncle Li was in a good mood along the way. When he heard the villagers asking, he said, "My niece picked up this cow on the mountain. When my uncle liked it, he gave it to me."
As he spoke, he pointed at the things on the bullock cart and said helplessly: "Have you seen those things? My sister and brother-in-law asked me to take them back. I don't want them to be angry. It's really..."
Uncle Li knew that there was a lot of criticism in the village about his family's support for his younger sister, and even if he didn't make fun of him, his words would not sound nice.
At this moment, I am able to clear my sister's family's name.
His sister is not a blood-sucking white-eyed wolf!
The people in the village had stern expressions.
Looking at the bulging things on the bullock cart, he became nervous again in the blink of an eye.
"Li Da, why has your sister gotten so rich? Why should I give you such an old thing?"
"I sent so many things to my mother's family at once, but Xiu Niang and her mother-in-law are not angry? Why did I hear that Xiu Niang's mother-in-law came last?"
Li Da: "I can't say I'm getting rich, but my life has been a lot easier. My sister's family has been divided, and my brother-in-law is in charge of the village's workshop. There are hundreds of people working under my brother-in-law..."
His!
"Hundreds of people? How big is the workshop?" The villagers looked shocked.
