the next day.
Li Xia woke up.
In the kitchen, Chu Mengxi was cooking porridge.
The two milk dumplings were still sleeping soundly.
Li Xia walked into the kitchen, added some firewood, and then said to Chu Mengxi:
"Why don't you sleep a little longer? You don't have to get up so early. I'll make breakfast. Chu
Mengxi shook her head:"You should sleep a little longer after you have had enough sleep. After a day of physical work.""
The pure rice porridge cooked in the pot did not add sweet potatoes.
When it came to eating, Chu Mengxi no longer planned carefully.
Last night, Li Xia brought a lot of aquatic products. Chu Mengxi saw it, and there was a tank full of fish. There is also a large plastic bucket of river shrimps, etc.
Now, Chu Mengxi believes that Li Xia did not just say that he wanted the three of them to live a good life.
He has proved it with practical actions.
Li Xia went outside to wash up. After that, he went into the kitchen and fried two side dishes to go with the porridge.
When Chu Mengxi saw the fried shrimps and scrambled eggs on the table, she was stunned.
Is this a side dish to go with the porridge?
Chu Mengxi came into the room and called The two milk dumplings got up.
As a result, the two little guys couldn't get up.
Chu Mengxi tried hard for a long time, but they couldn't afford it.
Just when she was about to sink her face, Li Xia walked in.
He was carrying a bowl Porridge, on top of the porridge, there are fried shrimps and golden scrambled eggs.
"suck~!"
Li Xia took a sip of porridge, a bite of crispy oil-fried shrimps, and another bite of springy and tender eggs.
Comfortable! satisfy!
The two little guys lying on the bed heard the sound of eating porridge and smelled the tempting fragrance.
They suddenly opened their eyes and sat up from the bed.
Then he turned around and looked straight at Li Xia's bowl.
"Dad, what are you eating~! It smells so good~!"
"It smells so good~! I also want to eat Nuannuan~!"
With a smile in her eyes, Li Xia deliberately ignored the two milk dumplings and said to Chu Mengxi:
"Wife, let’s go and have a delicious breakfast. Don’t worry about them two. If they want to stay in bed, just let them.……"
Chu Mengxi was very cooperative:"Okay, leave them alone, I'm going to have breakfast too."
At this time, the two milk dumplings were anxious
"Mom and Dad~! Don't go~! I got up~!"
"Daddy mommy~! Wait for Nuannuan~! Woohoo~! Nuannuan also wants breakfast.~!"
Seeing that Li Xia and Chu Mengxi were about to leave, the two breast dumplings jumped up from the bed and began to get dressed quickly.
Li Xia smiled slightly and instantly cured the cat in bed with one move.
Chu Mengxi blinked at Li Xia, he still had a way.
The rice porridge is cooked very thick, warm and fragrant.
The fried shrimps and scrambled eggs are even more delicious.
By accident, the two milk dumplings were full again.
After Li Xia finished breakfast, he went out alone.
He is going to Huaishu Village next door to buy a donkey.
A person has two legs, plus two wheels of a cart.
Carrying two to three hundred kilograms of stuff, a trip to the county town would take an hour.
A donkey has four legs and can run fifty miles with a whip on its butt.
Donkeys pull carts, and the trip to the county town only takes twenty minutes, which saves energy.
For Li Xia, this donkey is a necessity.
Otherwise, taking the No. 11 bus every day is a waste of shoes and feet.
In rural areas, the only working animals are donkeys, mules, and oxen.
Oxen can plow the land, mules are powerful and can run fast, but donkeys are last in terms of practicality.
It cannot run as fast as a mule, nor can it plow like an ox, it can only pull and grind.
Therefore, the price of donkeys is the cheapest.
Arrive at Huaishu Village, walk north, and knock on the door of a house.
The person who opened the door was a dark old man, his surname was Qi, and his name was Qi Wanda.
His family has a donkey.
Ordinary families in rural areas don't have much food in the fields, so they don't need donkeys to transport it.
Those who could afford it exchanged donkeys for calves.
Qiwanda really wanted to replace the donkey at home, but no one wanted it.
If you go to the livestock trading market to sell it, you can only sell it for 20 yuan, which is not cost-effective.
At this time, Li Xia appeared
"Who are you looking for?"
Qi Wanda opened the door and glanced at Li Xia with a confused look on his face. He didn't know Li Xia.
But Li Xia knew that Qi Wanda had memories from his previous life.
He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling person.
Li Xia smiled and handed the cigarette. :"Brother, come and smoke."
Qi Wanda's eyes lit up when she saw it was peony cigarette, and she took the cigarette without any politeness.
"Is something wrong?"
The attitude was obviously much better.
Qi Wanda hung the cigarette on her ear and was reluctant to smoke it immediately.
"I wanted to buy a donkey, and I asked around in the village. I heard that you have one, so I came over to ask."
"Buy a donkey?"Qi Wanda looked Li Xia up and down, and found that Li Xia was wearing a coarse short coat, and it didn't look like he could afford the money.
Otherwise, he just wanted to buy his donkey for a small amount of money.
So Qi Wanda is Definitely not selling it
"How much do you pay? Qiwanda asked
"Can I see the donkey first?" Li Xia said.
If the donkey is strong and healthy, Li Xia will buy it.
If the donkey is sick and can't pull the cart after buying it, then he has to buy it elsewhere.
"Then come in and take a look."Qi Wanda opened the courtyard door.
The donkey was in the donkey shed on the east side of the courtyard.
Li Xia walked over to take a look.
There is something special about choosing a donkey.
First of all, look at the body shape. This donkey's physique looks strong, with bones and muscles. The donkey is well-developed, especially the rear muscles, which indicates that the donkey is very powerful.
Look at the donkey's skin, which is tight and elastic, and is also qualified.
The donkey's head is of medium size, with large and lively eyes, erect ears, round nostrils, and a notch. It is broad, with a square mouth and neatly arranged teeth.
The donkey's neck is long and broad, its back and waist look straight, its chest is wide and deep, its ribs are arched, and its abdomen is moderate in size and appears substantial.
……
Based on comprehensive observation, it is a good donkey with excellent quality.
Seeing that Li Xia had been looking at it for a long time, Qi Wanda was a little impatient and said,"Are you sure?"
Li Xia nodded.
"Brother, we are all real people. I think your donkey is a good one. The price is twenty-three yuan. No matter how high the price is, I won’t take it."
Li Xia naturally knows the market price. The highest price in the livestock market is twenty yuan.
But the livestock market is far away, and there are complicated procedures to go through. Li Xia found Qi Wanda for convenience.
Qi Wanda heard twenty-three Yuan, my heart skipped a beat.
This was a full three yuan higher than the market price.
Before, he took the donkey to the market to sell, and he was so arrogant that he was not willing to pay more than fifty cents.
Now it is three yuan higher, Qi Wang Da is excited
"Did you really pay twenty-three dollars for my donkey?"
Li Xia didn't talk nonsense and directly paid for it.
"good! good!"Qi Wanda accepted the money and smiled happily.
Li Xia stretched out his hand to pull the donkey rope, which was hung on the wooden stake.
"Hey, I'll come, I'll come. Qi Wanda diligently untied the donkey's rope and handed it to Li Xia.
The donkey was a little frightened and said,"Ah!" Ah uh!" sound.
Qi Wanda whipped him with a whip and said:"What is your name? He will be your new master from now on."
Out the door.
Li Xia fed the donkey a handful of straw and then rode directly on it.
The donkey was very strong and could trot faster than an adult.
Within a few minutes, Li Xia returned home on the donkey.
Passing by In the fields of Rong Village, the villagers who were working in the fields were surprised when they saw Li Xia bringing back a donkey.
When they got home, two naughty boys surrounded the donkey and yelled excitedly. They would touch the donkey's hair and want to ride it. It was a joy.
Li Xia explained to Chu Mengxi:"I bought this donkey for twenty-three yuan. It will save a lot of effort and time in pulling the cart in the future."
Chu Mengxi said:"You don't have to explain it to me so clearly. I believe you.""
"This donkey is a good buy and will be of great use."
"When you have time, you can grind beans and make tofu, soy milk and tofu skin.
Li Xia smiled and said,"I have to report to you. After all, you are the leader."
Chu Mengxi was amused:"I am the leader, then who are you?""
"I am an employee who works hard to make money for my boss!"
Chu Mengxi chuckled.
These days, men are in charge, and women have no status.
Li Xia's words sounded like a joke, but Chu Mengxi knew that Li Xia wanted to express his importance to her.
