Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

Zhou Chunfeng felt really overwhelmed when she looked at her daughter, because that was ten taels of silver.

She brought ten taels of silver today, but she couldn't spend all of it.

She pushed her daughter's hand away and said, "Stop making trouble. Why did our family buy so many cows?"

Zheng Xiaoman smiled and pulled her hand up again, "Mom, buy it, buy it, that little cow can give birth to a calf in the future."

Zhou Chunfeng was so angry at this child that she glared at her daughter and said to Old Man Zheng, "Dad, what do you think of these two cows?"

Old Man Zheng also heard what his granddaughter said, but he didn't say anything.

He nodded to Zhou Chunfeng, then looked at the old man selling the cows and said, "Brother, for 9 taels of silver, I will buy both cows."

The old man selling the cattle was a little hesitant, but he also knew that there were not many people buying cattle at this time of year.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been squatting here for three days without selling a single cow.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then I'll give you nine taels of silver and you can take these two cows away."

Zhou Chunfeng gritted her teeth and counted out nine taels of silver and handed it over. As she gave the money, she couldn't help but glare at her daughter again.

After coming out of the cattle market, they spent another two hundred coins to buy a set of saddles.

The cart was hitched to the back of the big ox, Old Man Zheng sat in the front driving the ox, and Zheng Xiaoman sat at the back, holding the rope in his hand leading the calf.

Although Zhou Chunfeng felt distressed when she paid the money just now, she was very excited when she looked at the two cows that belonged to her.

Now that my family has bought some land and some cows, our lives are getting better and better.

Old man Zheng also had a smile on his face, and he was reluctant to hit the cow with the whip in his hand.

Three people appeared in the village in a ox cart, causing another sensation.

Few families can afford cows nowadays, but Zheng Laoer's family bought two at once.

The villagers greeted Old Man Zheng enthusiastically, "Hey, Uncle Zheng, are you buying a cow?"

"Haha, well, this is the cow that the second brother's family bought."

"Oh, the second brother's family is getting more and more prosperous these days."

"Haha, it's not bad, it's not that my son has bad legs, so I thought of buying a cow to help with farming."

There were also curious children following the car, wanting to touch the calf.

The calf had a docile temperament and didn't get angry when being touched. It just mooed twice.

The children stopped following the ox cart until it turned onto the path leading home.

As soon as they got home, the two cows were surrounded again.

Old Mrs. Zheng happily touched the cow's head and said, "This cow is really strong. Judging from its physique, it must have the strength to work."

Old Man Zheng smiled and said, "Of course, this cow is only two and a half years old, and it is very strong."

Old Mrs. Zheng touched the calf curiously for a few more times, then looked at the calf behind and asked, "Why did you buy such a small one? This calf doesn't look even one year old, right?"

"Haha, you'll have to ask your precious granddaughter. She insisted on buying it."

Old man Zheng didn't want to take the blame and directly sold his eldest granddaughter.

Old Mrs. Zheng looked at Zheng Xiaoman and said, "Xiaoman, what are you going to do with this calf? It can't be used for farming."

Zheng Xiaoman: "Granny, this is a little cow. When it grows up, it can give birth to a calf."

In fact, she wants to eat beef more than raising cattle. But now cattle are not allowed to be slaughtered, so she can't do anything even if she is greedy.

Old Mrs. Zheng looked at the calf's big wet eyes and said, "You can wait for it to give birth to a calf. But this cow looks good, so keep it at home for now. If you don't want to keep it anymore, you can sell it."

Zheng Xiaoman would definitely not sell it. She liked the calf very much when she saw it. This might be the legendary affinity between the eyes.

"Master, when the house is finished, you can ask the uncles to help build a cowshed."

"I know, don't worry."

In the afternoon, Old Man Zheng built a simple cowshed in the backyard and put the cows inside.

Fortunately, there is a large open space here, otherwise there would be no place to raise pigs and cattle.

When their family planned to build a house, they went to the village chief to get a land deed.

The family had no money before, so we just moved here temporarily and didn’t have a land deed.

Now this house and the two acres of land behind it all belong to them, and they can do whatever they want with it.

The people who came to help build the house looked at the two cows in the backyard with envy, and they wondered when they could buy a cow.

On the day when the house was completed and the beams were ready to be put up, my eldest uncle and my second uncle’s families all came.

When building a house in the countryside, putting up the beam is a big event. Not only must you choose a good day, but you must also choose the right time.

Once the main beam is put up, it means the new house is almost finished.

Early this morning, Old Man Zheng drove a ox cart to deliver the food ordered from the restaurant and then came back. Today they all stayed at home and did not go to the roadside to sell food.

Zhou Chunfeng bought meat and vegetables in the city a day in advance, and Zheng Xiaoman asked her grandfather to help kill a male rabbit to prepare for the evening banquet.

She also made some peanut candy and pastries yesterday, and cut the candy and pastries into small pieces to distribute to the children who came home today.

Many people came to their yard today. In addition to grandma's family, the village chief and Mr. Fang also came.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zheng Qingming took a stick of incense and lit firecrackers.

After a long period of crackling noises, the village chief shouted, "It's time to put up the beams."

Several men carried a beam and placed it steadily on the roof.

Zheng Xiaoman threw sugar and cakes wrapped in oil paper down from a high place.

She shouted happily: "Sprinkle the sugar!"

The children below were laughing and squatting to pick up the candies on the ground. The adults were also tempted but were too embarrassed to snatch them from the children.

Lixia, Goudan and the others were at the bottom. As soon as the sugar from above fell, they immediately squatted down and started picking up the sugar.

Lixia grabbed a few pieces of candy and stuffed them into Yang Shuxing's hand.

He also said disdainfully: "Hey Shuxing, you're too slow. You won't be able to grab anything like this."

Yang Shuxing smiled helplessly. He didn't even want to snatch it.

Goudan moved quickly and picked up several pieces of candy in one go.

Some people even shouted at Zheng Xiaoman, "Xiaoman, throw some over here too."

Zheng Xiaoman smiled and said, "Okay, everyone catch it."

She threw another handful of them into the crowd, and this time the adults also caught several pieces.

Because there were some pastries in the oil paper packages, many of them were crushed during the scramble.

But everyone didn't mind and just used oil paper to pour the crumbs into their mouths.

For a while, the yard was very lively. After getting candies and cakes, the children happily ran out to play.

Of course, some people also took the opportunity to walk around their house.

When seeing the three big fat pigs and a dozen fat chickens in the backyard, some people couldn't help but ask what they fed the pigs.

Zhou Chunfeng just smiled and said, "What else can we feed them? It's just pig grass from the hill behind, plus some wheat straw. Isn't that what everyone feeds them like?"
