Cheng Zhongqian looked proud, even happier than he was being praised, and nodded reservedly: "That's right."
Ling Bao blinked and smiled.
The clerk sighed: "The little lady looks smart and smart."
Cheng Zhongqian didn't fit his name at all, so he smiled and said, "You have really good taste."
The clerk was stunned for a moment and then praised him several times, but all he said was true.
Many children this age are noisy and unlovable, but Lingbao is different.
Lingbao was hugged by Cheng Yun and touched the three-year-old female ox. As expected, she had a docile temper as the clerk said. She rubbed her head against Lingbao's palm, and her big nose made her palms itch and giggle.
Laugh.
Finally, we settled on this cow, which cost two taels of silver, but luckily, they could afford it!
Cheng Zhongqian paid the money, and he hadn't felt like spending money like water for a long time - if two taels of silver were counted.
Cheng Yun led the ox out and asked Ling Bao, who was jumping around next to him: "Ling Bao, do you want to sit on it?"
Ling Bao nodded fiercely: "Yes, yes!" Yes, her family also has a cow!
Cheng Zhongqian pinched her armpit and hugged her up. Lingbao, who was riding a bull for the first time, was excited and nervous at the same time, like a wooden board.
After being put on it, she didn't dare to move. Her short legs were tightly clamped, and she only dared to turn her head slightly.
Cheng Zhongqian looked amused: "Is it fun?"
"It's so high, even higher than sitting on the shoulders of my second brother!" Lingbao said.
Cheng Yun led the ox forward, and the ox stepped forward obediently. The calf made a sound of "ah" and became even stiffer.
"It's moving, it's moving!"
Cheng Yun smiled and said: "If it doesn't move, it's broken. We have to go back and return it."
The ox didn't go very fast, but Lingbao was riding an ox for the first time. He didn't know where to put his hands and feet. He was very afraid that he would fall. He said coquettishly: "Dad, big brother, I'm afraid -"
Cheng Zhongqian stretched out a hand for her to hold, and patiently coaxed: "Don't be afraid, daddy is protecting you and won't let you fall."
Ling Bao grabbed his father's broad, dry palm and felt instantly at ease, no longer so nervous.
Cheng Zhongqian still had to go to school, so Lingbao and Cheng Yun took the cow to Gao Xianqing's house, planning to go home together when he finished school.
After school, Cheng Zhongqian came to pick up Lingbao and Cheng Yun and asked a few more questions. It took a little time, but don't worry, they are awesome!
Riding an ox is much faster than walking on two legs, and it's not tiring.
After all, it was a newly purchased cow. Cheng Zhongqian and Cheng Yun took turns leading the way.
With someone protecting her behind her, Lingbao was no longer afraid at all. She swung her little feet happily and said, "Dad, big brother, our family is the second family in the village to own a cow."
The first one is the village chief.
It's time for the village chief, the "richest man in Beihe Village", to step down and give way to someone more worthy.
When they entered the village, they attracted everyone's attention. After all, in the countryside, whoever has cows is the best thing.
"Lingbao, did your family buy a cow? This scalper looks really good!"
"Oh, I went to buy cows today, it was great!"
"Oooh, Lingbao, I envy you so much. I also want a cow, so that my parents can go to the fields much more easily..."
Lingbao said seriously: "There will be!"
It will definitely happen, and the days will get better and better. Who knows, in the future, every family in their Beihe Village will have a cow!
The child nodded heavily, firmly believing in Ling Bao's words.
When they first built their new house, they didn't expect to actually raise a cow, so they didn't build a cowshed. But it didn't matter. The yard was so big that they could just build a temporary one. They started building it as early as the day they decided to buy a calf.
It is now built.
"Second brother, third brother, we are back!" Lingbao shouted impatiently, "We have bought the cow back, come and see it!"
Cheng Yi came out of the kitchen wearing an apron and holding a spatula in his hand. He didn't know what delicious food he had cooked. A strong fragrance wafted over.
The two of them came together. It was not that they had never seen cows before, they had even seen tigers!
They all met in the royal hunting ground. Emperor Jingtai was brave and good at fighting, and his riding and archery skills were excellent. The tiger's skin was made into a blanket and rewarded to Jiang Baohui.
But this is our own scalper, bought with the grain we worked so hard to grow, so the meaning is of course different!
Cheng Jin was a little afraid to get close, the cow was so big!
"Third brother, don't be afraid. He is very well-behaved. We rode him all the way back, so he is stable!" Ling Bao's eyes were sincere.
Cheng Yi looked around for a while and suddenly shouted, "His food!"
Ling Bao shook his head maturely: "Oh, my second brother is not stable at all."
Cheng Yun coaxed her: "Yeah, you are the most stable."
Ling Bao raised his head proudly, held the hand of his third brother and walked over, letting him pet the ox. The ox obediently let him touch it without any temper at all.
"Look, isn't it very good?"
Cheng Jin nodded.
Hearing the commotion, Xie Wuxu ran back from the next door and let out a cry.
Lingbao brought a large handful of straw from the corner of the yard, fed it to the cattle, and said, "It's a girl, why don't we give it a name?"
"Okay, what's your name?" Cheng Jin asked.
Ling Bao touched his chin and thought deeply for a while, then suddenly his eyes lit up: "It's a scalper, why don't we just call it a calf?"
Cheng Jin: "..."
Xie Wuyang: "..."
Ling Bao's eyes were bright and he looked at them expectantly: "What do you think?"
The two of them looked at each other, and they... they didn't feel very good about it.
Is this really a name?
Xie Wuyang said politely: "Why don't you think about it again?"
It was rejected, but Lingbao was not sad. She thought about it seriously again and said, "What about Xiao Huang? It is yellow." So it makes sense to call it Xiao Huang.
Cheng Jin: "..."
Xie Wuyang: "..."
Ling Bao pursed his lips: "Isn't that good? Then I didn't expect it."
Cheng Yun, who heard the whole story, came out to seek justice; "It's just a cow, you can call it whatever you want."
Cheng Jin and Xie Wuyang nodded repeatedly: "That's right, Xiao Huang is Xiao Huang, and it sounds pretty good!"
Lingbao became happy again. She picked up the straw and fed it to Xiao Huang: "Xiao Huang, Xiao Huang, you need to eat more, so that you are full!"
Xie Wuyang moved next to her, picked up straw and fed it to the cow, and asked, "Do you think cows and horses can be friends?"
Yes, Brother Wuyou also has a pony named "Meteor".
Lingbao shook her head in distress, she didn't know, she hadn't seen many horses.
"Then let's let them meet each other when we have time. Maybe they will become good friends like us!"
Lingbao nodded solemnly: "Okay!"
It would be very lonely without friends. Fortunately, there are shooting stars.
It's a pity that the king looks down upon these little animals that have no intelligence.
