Facts have proved that the person who was taken advantage of was actually his own mother!
On the way to buy cattle, Ning Laosan was so troubled that his intestines were in knots.
"Mom, we are not in a hurry to work in the field. We have my second son here, so why not buy a calf and raise it slowly? With the extra ten taels of silver, we can do a lot of things!"
The most important thing is that now I don’t make many pastries, and the money I earn has been reduced by at least half.
The losses were so great, Ning Laosan's heart was bleeding!
"If we could wait a year, what more money would we lose?"
Ning Pengpeng glanced at Ning Laosan, and then replied slowly.
"How can it be?"
Ning Laosan's eyes widened and he retorted loudly.
"Hmph, Mom said you can make money by making pastries. Let me ask you, have you made any money?"
Ning Pengpeng didn't want to tell Ning Laosan that she was going to use cows to squeeze the sugar cane.
After all, it would not be a good thing if others knew about being able to make candy.
Therefore, it is not too late to tell the third child once everything is ready.
"Earn it."
Hearing his mother's words, Ning Laosan moved his mouth and nodded helplessly.
"Then if Mom hadn't made pastries for you to try before, and then said you could make money by making pastries, would you have believed it?"
"Of course I don't believe it."
Ning Pengpeng spread his hands and continued to ask.
"So, I am saying now that you can make money by buying a mature cow. But you will lose money by buying a calf. Do you believe it or not?"
"Well, I believe what my mother says."
Ning Laosan thought back and forth, and finally fell to the side of trusting his mother.
"That's fine. I'll say this for the last time. From now on, you can do whatever I ask you to do. Stop talking nonsense. Do you understand? If you can't do it, I won't call you to make money in the future.
Anyway, your fourth brother is fine, just let him do it."
"Mother, mother, I was wrong. I was wrong. It's okay! Look at me, my mouth is not good. In the future, if you ask me to go east, I will never go west. If I have any complaints,
Just take the fire stick at home and just beat me."
Ning Laosan quickly raised three fingers and swore to Ning Pengpeng.
The strong cow was really good. After some haggling, the other party finally reluctantly agreed to sell it to the Ning family for eighteen taels of silver because no one had come to buy it during this period.
Ning Laosan didn't expect to save these two taels of silver, so he was so happy that he almost burst into laughter.
However, Ning Pengpeng soon spent all the two taels of silver, because she bought a car seat, put it directly on the back of the cow, and then ordered Ning Laosan to rush to Dahuaishu Village in a hurry.
.
At the beginning, Ning Laosan, the third-hand man, drove the ox cart awkwardly. Fortunately, the ox was docile and slow. It was not as fast as a horse, but it was not so easy to control, so he quickly got the hang of it.
Ning Pengpeng sat in the bullock cart with satisfaction. Although the road was bumpy and her waist and hips were a little numb, it was better than the swelling caused by walking on her own two legs.
In addition, after having a cow, is her sugar still far behind?
That's right, this time she was going to make white sugar instead of brown sugar.
If she is making brown sugar, and a large amount of brown sugar suddenly appears in this place, it will definitely attract the attention of those who make brown sugar.
As long as she makes white sugar from sugar cane, even if someone sees it, as long as she doesn't say anything, it won't arouse anyone's suspicion about the connection between white sugar and brown sugar.
So, as soon as she and Ning Laosan drove the bullock cart to their home, while the family members were watching the cows, they ordered the second, third and fourth sons to build another section of the backyard fence.
Moreover, the vegetable garden in the backyard was leveled and a rectangular thatched shed was built along the fence.
There are advantages to having more sons in the family. If Ning Pengpeng had to do it alone, he probably wouldn't be able to finish it in a week.
And with the concerted efforts of the three sons, the straw shed was built in just half a day!
"Second brother, you need to feed the cows well from now on. As long as you feed the cows well, wherever cows are needed in the field, you can just use them.
Lao San, you go to Wang Dashan and make a rolling truck according to this drawing. It should be fast and the price is negotiable. But remember, when he is finished, you have to take this drawing back and hand it to me. Do you understand?
?
Fourth brother, you build three stoves in the middle of this half of the hut, then go to the blacksmith in the town and order three iron pots. After ordering the iron pots, remember to go to the pottery shop to buy five more. You can’t wrap your arms around it.
pottery jar, and five tiles.
If the potter doesn't know how to make tiles, give him this drawing and ask him to make it according to the drawing."
Ning Pengpeng said to his three sons in an orderly manner. When the second son heard that the cow could be given to him for free, he nodded repeatedly and promised that he would raise the cow well.
The third and fourth children also took the drawings and the handed over money and turned around to do what their mother ordered.
Ning Pengpeng was very satisfied to see them being so obedient.
By the way, I also checked the beans that Xiao Wu Ning Youxi had picked up. After a few pulls, he found that the beans he picked were quite clean. He nodded and encouraged Ning Youxi.
"Well done, keep up the good work. As long as you continue like this, I believe your dowry will be the richest in the village."
Hearing his own mother praising him so much, Ning Youxi blushed rarely.
No matter how generous she usually is, she is still a little girl and still has some daydreams about her marriage.
Therefore, when talking about my dowry, my face naturally turns red.
However, when she thought of the pie that Ning Pengpeng had drawn for her, Ning Youxi's eyes suddenly shone.
I picked up the beans more carefully and seriously.
"Grandma, can we help aunt pick beans together?"
After hearing what Ning Pengpeng said to Ning Youxi, Ning Mian'er, who was hiding aside, couldn't help but ask Ning Pengpeng.
When Ning Pengpeng heard the soft voice of a child, she was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it carefully before remembering the name of this cheap granddaughter.
"Mian'er, why do you want to help your aunt pick beans?"
Although she was not mentally able to admit that she was already a grandmother, Ning Pengpeng's voice softened subconsciously for such a little one.
Ning Mian'er, who originally thought she would be scolded, suddenly lit up when she heard her grandma not scolding her as usual.
"I...I also want to save a dowry for myself like my aunt."
Pfft... Ning Pengpeng almost choked to death due to the little boy's words.
She looked up and down at the little one with a strange expression. In her memory, Ning Mian'er was only four years old, right?
A four-year-old brat is actually thinking about saving a dowry for himself?
Are these ancient children a little too precocious?
"Mom, Mian'er is talking nonsense, don't be angry. You damn girl, why don't you go in, take your sister, and run in front of your grandma and talk nonsense?"
