Holding two rabbits was too eye-catching, so Ye Xusheng pulled some weeds to cover them up.
Instead of taking the road commonly used by the villagers, he turned slightly to avoid the villagers and hurried to Zhang Tieniu's house.
Fortunately, Zhang Tieniu's home was far away from other homes in the village, so no one saw him.
Hearing the knock on the door, Zhang Tieniu opened the door and raised his eyebrows when he saw him coming. He was the one who drove the two rabbits in. How could he not know?
Ye Xusheng called "Uncle", entered the yard, waited for Zhang Tieniu to close the door, and then said with a cracked smile: "I just went to see the trap, Uncle Zhang, look at it."
As he spoke, he pulled away the grass, revealing the two rabbits inside.
Zhang Tieniu patted his shoulder with his big hand like a cattail leaf fan and said, "Good boy, not bad."
Ye Xusheng asked him to pat him so hard that he almost lost his balance. The pain made his mouth twitch: "Uncle Zhang, you are so strong."
This made Zhang Tieniu laugh out loud, "Can I be called Tieniu if I don't have much strength?"
Ye Xusheng was dumbfounded: "Then Uncle Zhang has been very strong since he was a child? That's why he got this name?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Zhang Tieniu’s bell-like laughter echoed in every corner of the yard~
Zhang Dongqiang, who was standing at the door of the house, couldn't help but smile and shake his head: "This silly boy is really stupid. People tease him and he takes it seriously. How strong can a newborn child be?"
Being embarrassed by Zhang Tieniu's smile, Ye Xusheng touched his head, and Zhang Tieniu stopped teasing him, "You put the rabbit here, I will go to town on a cloudy day to sell it to you."
Ye Xusheng thanked him sincerely and chatted a few words with Zhang Dongqiang. It was nothing important. Seeing that it was getting late, he left in a hurry. He returned to Lao Ye's house and changed his clothes and shoes before going to the backyard.
In the backyard, the Wang family started to light a fire to cook. Ye Xusheng said hello and wanted to help light the fire. Now that Lao Qian didn't need He Xiner to cook, she had nothing else to do, so she helped the Wang family light the fire, so Ye Xusheng was not needed.
He said he was not needed.
Ye Xusheng had no choice but to go back and read.
In the evening, everyone finished their busy work in a low-key manner, sleeping quietly, doing laundry, and reading.
The next day, after Ye Xusheng left school, he went to Zhang Tieniu's house. Zhang Tieniu opened the door and said with a hearty smile: "Son, come in quickly."
Ye Xusheng also called his uncle with a smile and entered the yard. Zhang Tieniu closed the door and said, "Come in."
Seeing the two people coming in, Zhang Dongqiang smiled and said, "Sit down and have a cup of tea." Ye Xusheng thanked him, took a sip of tea, and asked, "Uncle Zhang, has he gone to town?"
Zhang Tieniu only sat on half of the stool, with half of his butt still outside. He was sitting very uncomfortable. Hearing this, he quickly took out a small money bag from his pocket and said: "You count, two rabbits, a total of eight pounds and six taels."
, eighteen cents per catty, a total of one hundred and fifty-four cents."
Ye Xusheng was surprised: "It's actually worth more than a hundred cents?"
During the slack season, his father and his second uncle went to the town to work as part-time workers, earning only twenty cents a day, and sometimes twenty-five cents. No wonder he was surprised.
Zhang Tieniu smiled with his mouth wide open, "Wild food is more expensive than pork. Pork has always cost fifteen cents per catty. I sent it to a restaurant in the town. I originally wanted him for twenty cents per catty, but the manager saw that there was a wound on his leg."
, I found an excuse why I couldn’t peel off the whole skin, and calculated it by 18 cents.”
Ye Xusheng said: "That's a lot. My father and second uncle went out to work, and they only earned forty or fifty cents a day."
Seeing that he was so easily satisfied, Zhang Dongqiang smiled, "You don't hunt wild animals every day, so it should be more expensive."
That's right. Rabbits are small things, but it's very dangerous for hunters to encounter wild boars when they go into the mountains.
Ye Xusheng nodded: "I'll just take a hundred coins. Uncle Zhang also taught me how to make traps and helped me run to town to exchange money. I can't help in vain. Although the fifty-four coins are not much, it's still my wish. Uncle Zhang will keep it."
Use money to buy drinks."
Zhang Tieniu was not short of money, and knowing that he had no money, how could he ask for it from him, but Ye Xusheng insisted on giving it to him, and after some concessions, seeing that he had a tough attitude, he had no choice but to stay.
Ye Xusheng carefully put away the money bag containing one hundred coins, then said goodbye and went home.
After watching him walk away and close the door, Zhang Tieniu returned to Zhang Dongqiang's study and stood in front of the desk. Zhang Dongqiang smiled and said, "Is there anything else?"
Zhang Tieniu smiled honestly, "It's okay, I just think this silly boy is pretty good, and the master has not crossed paths with anyone."
After hearing what he said, Zhang Dongqiang was happy, "That's natural, I have always had a good taste."
Zhang Tieniu nodded, "This guy values friendship, knows how to be grateful, and is not greedy." This chapter has been completed!
