Chapter 12: Feeding the Cattle Begins



Mother Xu snorted coldly and stretched out her hand, "Take it out."

"What...what?" Xu Qianjiao asked hesitantly.

"Roast chicken, don't think I don't know." Xu's mother said with certainty, "If you don't take it out, I will turn it over myself."

"Uh." Xu Qianjiao breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be roasted chicken. She thought that her little thoughts were discovered by Xu's mother. She was scared to death. Why did this feel like she was in a premature love relationship and was almost discovered by her parents?

She pouted, took out the roast chicken from the basket and handed it to Xu's mother. Xu's mother immediately smiled and said, "You little girl, your father and I are so good to you, and you secretly eat the roast chicken when you have it."

"I...I don't have it. I brought it back for you." Xu Qianjiao took Xu's mother's hand and said coquettishly.

"Hmph, wait, I'll call your dad over."

After saying that, he quietly walked out of the door, avoiding people and quietly walked towards the field. Xu Qianjiao took advantage of this time to quickly hide the snacks she bought, leaving only a few sesame cakes in the basket.

After a while, Xu's mother and father quietly walked back to Xu Qianjiao's room avoiding people. Xu's father looked at the roast chicken in front of him and his eyes lit up instantly. Xu's mother divided the roast chicken into four parts and each person took three pieces.

"Crush it, crush it," Father Xu quickly finished eating the roast chicken, even swallowing the bones. After that, he stared at the roast chicken in Xu Qianjiao's hand. Xu Qianjiao hid the roast chicken inside.

Seeing this, Mr. Xu started crying, "Oh, my daughter, you don't know how hard I work. Look, I was bitten by a leech today and it sucked a lot of blood. You see, I worked so hard just for you..."

Xu Qianjiao's mouth twitched, and she felt a little funny in her heart. This Xu's father was really a funny guy. She handed over the roast chicken in her hand, "Okay, okay, don't say anything, here you go..."

"Hehe~" Father Xu got the roast chicken as he wished, and he gave a piece to Mother Xu.

After that, the two of them began to eat happily, and Xu Qianjiao could only watch them from the side.

After finishing his meal, Father Xu looked at the door and said, "It's almost time. I should go back."

After saying that, he rushed to the yard, quickly washed his hands and rinsed his mouth, then rushed back to the field.

Mother Xu slowly finished the roast chicken in her hand and said, "Daughter, let's open the window and ventilate now. We can't let the big room know that we are eating secretly. You can secretly take the remaining roast chicken to your grandma later."

"good."

After waiting for a while, it was finally noon. Xu Qianjiao took advantage of the fact that everyone was asleep after lunch and quietly walked to Grandma Xu's room with the roast chicken. After giving the roast chicken to Grandma Xu, she went back to her room to rest.

-------------------------------------

The next day, the morning light illuminated the treetops, and the dewdrops on the leaves sparkled like tiny diamonds. Birds in the mountains sang joyfully, their songs cheering the arrival of a new day. Insects in the grass began to awaken, chirping softly, as if composing a vibrant symphony for this beautiful morning.

Xu Qianjiao followed behind her uncle and said, "Jiaojiao, your job is to feed the cows. You just need to lead them to the fields to graze, and then bring them back to the cowshed."

"Okay, uncle." Xu Qianjiao listened to Uncle Xu's words and nodded obediently.

The two of them walked along a small mountain path for a long time before reaching the cowshed. Uncle Xu took Xu Qianjiao to the front of the cowshed and pointed at one of the yellow cows. "This is the cow you are going to feed. This cow is the most valuable property of the village. You must protect it and don't let it get hurt. Do you understand?"

"I know."

Xu Qianjiao felt a little helpless when listening to Uncle Xu's words. Uncle Xu's words clearly said that even if Xu Qianjiao was injured, the cow should not be injured. The cow was much more valuable than a human.

"Okay, then you feed him. Uncle is leaving."

"Okay, goodbye uncle."

After Uncle Xu left, Xu Qianjiao looked at the cow in front of her, feeling a bit lost. How should she deal with it? She wandered around for a long time, not knowing what to do.

Suddenly, a person stood beside him, "Cheng Jiawen? Why are you here?"

Cheng Jiawen nodded at her and said, "Well, I'm helping my niece herd cattle today."

"oh oh."

After hearing this, Xu Qianjiao didn't think too much about it. She just continued to look at the yellow cow in front of her, thinking about how to lead it out. Cheng Jiawen saw her standing there, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Is this to control the cow with mind?

He exhaled, walked straight forward, opened the door, took the rope, and handed the oxen's rope to Xu Qianjiao, "Here, just hold it."

"Oh, okay." Xu Qianjiao took the rope blankly. Cheng Jiawen saw her pull the rope, then led out the other cow, closed the door, and walked straight to the side of the mountain.

"Follow me~"

"Here I come."

Cheng Jiawen was walking in front and Xu Qianjiao was following behind. He didn't know what was going on in his mind. When he heard his niece say that her job was to feed the cows, he volunteered to help her feed the cows and made it clear that he had other things to do today.

A small mountain stream flows merrily under the morning light. The water is crystal clear, and fish swim merrily within, their scales gleaming with vibrant colors in the sunlight. Wildflowers by the stream also bloom with vibrant smiles, swaying gently in the breeze, as if showcasing their beauty to the world.

Two yellow cattle were drinking water by the stream. Cheng Jiawen and Xu Qianjiao were sitting by the stream. Suddenly, they heard a faint rustling sound.

When they looked over, they saw a scene that was not suitable for children.
