Chapter 57 The Short, Chubby Girl
Hearing Mu Cheng'an's call, the chubby boy came running over.
"Big brother, is there a short, chubby girl over here?"
I want to trade eggs with her. Although we don't have a donkey anymore, we have other things. Could you ask her what she needs and I'll go get it for her?
Mu Cheng'an waved to him.
"Little brother, come here."
The chubby boy obediently walked up to Mu Cheng'an.
Mu Cheng'an looked at him seriously and asked,
"Little brother, tell me seriously, did you voluntarily trade the donkey for the eggs?"
The chubby boy nodded.
"Yes, it was my own choice."
I was thinking of getting another one, but we only have one donkey. How about we trade it for a horse?
The chubby boy immediately shook his head after he finished speaking.
"No, my family only has one horse left. If I change horses, I won't have a carriage to ride in. Big brother, can you ask that chubby little girl if she wants to be a housekeeper?"
How about exchanging an egg for a butler...?
Upon hearing that his unreliable young master wanted to trade him for eggs, the butler could no longer stand it. He bent down to pick up his young master and leave, but when he tried, he couldn't lift him up.
He had no choice but to put the chubby boy down and instead hold his hand...
"Young Master, let's go back quickly, I heard the Old Madam calling for you..."
No sooner had the butler left than the village chief hurriedly approached Mu Cheng'an and whispered a question.
"Cheng'an, did Ningbao really trade an egg for a donkey?"
Mu Cheng'an didn't hide anything and nodded directly.
"Yes, my grandma gave Ningbao a hard-boiled egg this morning. It was the last egg in the house, and Ningbao didn't want to eat it."
Ningbao had previously used eggs to lure the young master of their family, and he took the bait.
The village chief was also very happy to hear that Ningbao had gotten a new donkey.
"Ningbao is really clever. She traded an egg for a donkey. Actually, eggs are very expensive in famine years, so he didn't lose much by trading an egg for a donkey."
However, your family does need a donkey cart. Your grandfather has difficulty walking, and he refuses to ride in our donkey cart. Now that your family has a donkey, it will be much more convenient.
"And you know what, this Ningbao girl is really a lucky star, not only for your family but for our whole village."
...
The next morning, Ningbao was awakened by the excited noise from the camp.
She rubbed her eyes and looked around. Shen Yuzhen saw that she was awake and quickly came over.
"Ningbao is awake. Do you want to get up? Or do you want to sleep a little longer?"
Ningbao snuggled against her mother in a spoiled manner.
"Get up."
"Mom, what's all this commotion about? They seem so happy."
As Shen Yuzhen dressed Ningbao, she smiled and spoke softly.
"As you all know, you found water yesterday, and the wolf was also divided up. Although each family didn't get much, they still managed to get some meat."
By the way, your cat brought home a donkey. Your older brother said that donkey belongs to our family? Did you earn it?
Ningbao, what happened? I asked your older brother, but he didn't say. He only said you'd tell everyone when you woke up.
Ningbao got excited at the mention of donkeys. She quickly helped her mother get dressed, then scratched the few sparse yellow hairs on her head.
"Mother, comb your hair."
Shen Yuzhen looked at her little daughter's sparse hair with some worry; there really wasn't much to comb...
After combing her hair, Ningbao took Shen Yuzhen's hand and walked towards Mu Dasheng.
Her family members were gathered around, because the donkey she had brought back the night before was right there.
Mu Dasheng kept nagging, and Ning Bao quickly waved to her.
"Ningbao, come quick! Your older brother says this donkey belongs to our family?"
Ningbao had tried to catch the lynx perched on the donkey's head, but...
I can't reach it!
Mu Cheng'an smiled and calmly reached out to take Lingling down and put her in Ning Bao's arms.
Ning Bao, feigning composure, walked to Mu Dasheng's side.
"Yes, Grandpa, this donkey belongs to our family."
I traded an egg with the chubby kid next door last night.
Speaking of eggs, Ningbao remembered the 36 wild eggs they had found on the mountain the day before. After finishing his business with the donkey, Ningbao secretly told Li Guizhi about the wild eggs.
"Milk, raw eggs don't keep well. Let's keep them here for now, and I'll get them for you when we want to eat them."
Li Guizhi nodded with a smile.
"Okay, my Ningbao is so thoughtful."
Suddenly, Li Guizhi looked at Ning Bao with a troubled expression.
"Ningbao, Grandma wants to discuss something with you?"
Seeing Li Guizhi's expression, Ning Bao nodded solemnly.
"Grandma, please speak."
"I wanted to ask you for a few eggs to give away." Li Guizhi was a little hesitant, after all, the eggs were collected by Ningbao...
"Okay, Grandma, I'll get you a few." Ningbao said, reaching into her handbag to get the eggs.
