Chapter 54
Uncle Zhang sighed again: "I didn't expect you to have such an adventure that time. That old man with white beard, isn't he a living god?"
There are truths and falsehoods in Yuan Qiu's words, Uncle Zhang firmly believes that even Yuan Hao was confused by her, could it be that what my sister said is true?
"Uncle Zhang, this ox cart belongs to Uncle Liu's family, right? How much does it cost to rent it?" Yuan Qiu changed the subject in a timely manner.
Uncle Zhang glanced at the buffalo cart and sighed: "It costs fifteen yuan to rent a trip. Although it is a bit expensive, there is no way out. Only Liu Si's family in our village has this bullock cart, the only one."
Thinking that I just earned another thirty taels of silver, and there will be more places to use ox carts in the future. Wouldn't it be more convenient if I had one at home?
"Uncle Zhang, I want to buy a bullock cart, how much will it cost?"
Uncle Zhang was slightly stunned. If it was in the past, he would definitely persuade her not to buy it. The days are still long, and it is better to save some money. But today, he saw that the two siblings took two baskets of medicinal herbs in the hands of the boss in a short time. In exchange for thirty taels of silver, knowing that even if they don't save money in the future, they will live better, so they smiled and said: "It's about seven or eight taels to buy a cow and a car. I saw someone buying it in the market a few days ago. Cattle, after bargaining, it was sold for seven taels of silver, and if you buy a wooden cart to put it on, it will not exceed 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, and it will be convenient for you to send fish in the future, won't it?"
When Uncle Zhang heard this, he dared to believe that the ox cart was bought for him, and immediately waved his hands and said, "This is impossible, how can I ask your siblings to buy me an ox cart, it must be possible."
Seeing Uncle Zhang's straightforward appearance, Yuan Qiu was delighted, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, I didn't say that this bullock cart was bought for you, Yuan Hao and I also need to use it, and we don't know how to drive a cart , I will have to trouble you in the future."
Uncle Zhang is stupid, but he is not stupid. Knowing that Yuan Qiu was trying to take advantage of him, he wanted to refuse, but when he thought about Xiaopang's future, he gritted his teeth and accepted.
Yuan Hao was the happiest when he heard that he wanted to buy an ox cart. After all, he was only ten years old, and he was still a child. In the past, Zhao Xiaosi showed off his family's ox cart in front of him and Xiaopang all day long. I can't forget, now his family is going to buy a bullock cart, so why not be happy.
When Uncle Zhang drove two bullock carts back to the village, another large group of people gathered at the gate of Yuan Qiu's house, chattering loudly without knowing what to say.
Uncle Zhang wondered: "Didn't I find someone to start building today? It's already this afternoon, how come the old house hasn't been demolished yet?"
A sharp-eyed man saw Uncle Zhang pull two ox carts back to the village, the Xia family siblings each sat in one, Xia Yuanqiu sat in the Liusi family's ox cart, and Xia Yuanhao sat in another obviously new ox cart superior.
Liu Si was also in the crowd. Seeing his own ox cart returning to the village, he went forward to take the rope from Uncle Zhang, and pointed to another ox cart: "Whose ox cart is this?"
When Yuan Hao heard the question, he quickly stood up, patted his small chest and said, "It belongs to our family."
Yuan Qiu answered, "Our family and Uncle Zhang's bought it together." After speaking, he winked at Uncle Zhang.
Uncle Zhang nodded knowingly. He knew Yuan Qiu's scruples. If she only said that Yuan Qiu bought it, her shameless uncle and aunt might be jealous. If you borrow it, it becomes theirs. Xia Tieniu's family can definitely do this.
