Chapter 90 Children should be more grateful
Hu Haohan and Du Qingcang carried the biggest cow; Chen Shengli and Li Youcai carried a big bull; Chen Dawang and Hu Xiangdong carried a cow; brothers Li Dashan and Li Xiaoshan also carried a cow together; Tao Xiu'e and Shen Hongmei carried a small bull weighing almost 600 kilograms; Zhang Yuling and Wang Cuihua carried a small cow weighing more than 500 kilograms; Sun Meili was responsible for taking turns with the four women; Ma Shoucai and Wang Feng were in a group and carried a small bull weighing more than 400 kilograms; Liu Bing and Dong Guoqing carried a small bull weighing more than 500 kilograms; Chen Yue'er and Du Jiankang carried a small bull weighing about 200 kilograms; Yike and Li Xiaoying carried a small cow weighing more than 100 kilograms; sisters Hu Lili and Hu Fangfang also carried a calf, which was probably just born and weighed less than 50 kilograms; only Chen Fugui had no one to partner with him, and he cried in anxiety.
Yike and Li Xiaoying looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"Cry, cry, cry. You are such a loser. Why don't you stay with Sister Lili? When Fangfang gets tired, you can take over. You don't even know how to take turns carrying the things. You've just wasted your meal." Tao Xiu'e scolded.
Chen Fugui sniffed his nose and walked towards Hu Lili, and asked timidly: "Sister Lili, can I go with you?"
"Okay, you can switch with your sister later." Hu Lili said in a soft voice, which made Yi Ke take a second look. He found that this was a gentle beauty.
"Okay!" Chen Fugui sniffed his nose again, revealing his little fangs, with a hint of joy in his voice.
A group of people carried the cow back to the watchtower, panting, and carried the cow into the nearby woods.
The cows were temporarily placed in a nearby woods, which were surrounded by thick sticks so that the cows could not escape.
Although Hu Lili, Hu Fangfang and Chen Fugui were very young and very tired, they still carried the cow back without saying a word.
I was really touched by them. They are such hardworking and good kids. So she gave the calf to Sister Hu Lili. Hu Lili and her sister happily hugged the bull's head and were reluctant to part. Hu Lili also tied a vine around the bull's neck as a mark.
Chen Fugui walked in front of Yike, tilted his head and looked at her. His big eyes stared at Yike without blinking, and he pouted, looking pitiful and cute. Yike couldn't help pinching his cheeks and teasing him deliberately: "Are you tired, Fugui? Why don't you go back and rest?"
"No, I'm not tired, Niu Niu, I like it too." Chen Fugui was not very familiar with Yi Ke, and he spoke nervously and stuttered a little.
"Oh! So you like it too! Then we can go get another one for you to raise, okay?"
"Great! I have a cow, too." Chen Fugui ran towards his mother happily, "Mom, I have a cow, too, just like my sister Fangfang."
"Then have you thanked Sister Yike?" Tao Xiu'e asked.
Chen Fugui happily ran back to Yike, showing her two big fangs and said, "Sister Yike, thank you for giving me Niu Niu!"
"Fugui is so good!" Yike touched his little round head, and said to Li Xiaoying who was twisting her fingers beside him and wanted to speak but didn't dare to, "Do you want it? If you want it, I'll raise one for you."
"Yes! Thank you, Sister Yike!" Li Xiaoying said with a blushing face, and then ran happily to her mother and told her the good news.
Chen Hongmei, Tao Xiu'e and Sun Meili all walked towards Yike.
"Yike, you see, children are ignorant. You have given us the big cow, so let's forget about the little cow." Shen Hongmei said.
"Yes, Yike, we don't know how to thank you for giving us the big cow, so how can we still want your calf? Just don't worry about the children." Tao Xiu'e also said.
"Yike, this big cow is very valuable. We shamelessly accepted it because we are short of labor. How could we want your calf? Isn't this bullying you? So just ignore those ignorant kids." Sun Meili said sincerely.
"Aunt, listen to me. I only need a few cows. If they like the calves, I will give them to them. It will be my gift to them. Really, you don't have to be polite." Yi Ke hurriedly told everyone not to be polite.
"Okay then, I'll ask them to cut grass for your cows to eat in the future."
"Yes, I am the same. I asked Fugui to cut grass for your cow. You can't just take your cow for free. You have to thank him."
"Yike, thank you. I'll also ask Lili and Fangfang to cut grass for your cows. You are not allowed to disagree. Children should know how to be grateful."
"Okay, then I thank you aunts."
"Thank you for what? We should be the ones thanking you."
…
In the woods, the noses of the cows and calves were tied with ropes. Yike went to apply anti-inflammatory and hemostatic medicine on the cows' noses. The rope is tied to a tree so that the cow cannot run around when it wakes up. Yi Ke also plans to not feed it for a few days to slowly eliminate its wildness.
"Yike, you kids shouldn't go. It's too tiring." Chen Shengli and Li Youcai both told the kids not to go. Chen Fugui was the first to object. "I want to go. I want to carry my calf. Sister Yike said that she will give it to me to raise after she brings it back."
"Yes, yes, I want Niu Niu too." Li Xiaoying also shouted loudly.
"Well, then, if you're tired and can't lift it, just tell me."
"Okay!" The child ran ahead of the adults as if tirelessly, but was stopped by the adults and asked to walk back to the adults.
In the valley, there were three adult bulls, three adult cows, one young bull, two young bulls, four young cows, and six calves, a total of nineteen cows. It took everyone one day to transport all of them back.
Yi Ke got seven cows, including an adult bull, two adult cows, two heifers of seven or eight months old, and two calves of one month old; Du Qingcang got an adult cow and a calf of more than two months old; Hu Haohan got an adult bull and a calf of more than one month old; Li Youcai got an adult bull and a calf of more than two months old; Chen Shengli got a young cow and a calf of several months old; Ma Youcai, Wang Feng, Dong Guoqing and Liu Bing each got a young cow.
On this day, everyone was filled with happy smiles.
Early the next morning, Yike ran to the woods to check on the cows and found that there were already many people in the woods, including Du Qingcang, Chen Shengli, Hu Haohan, Ma Youcai, Liu Bing, Dong Guoqing and Wang Feng, almost all the men. They looked at the cows that were still lying there and making rumbling sounds, staring at each other in amazement. When they saw Yi Ke coming, they hurried forward to ask why the cows hadn't woken up yet.
"Uncle, the cows' stomachs are still full of grass. If they wake up and get angry, they will be very strong. It's better to wait until they are hungry before waking up. Then they won't have the energy to get angry, right?" Yi Ke explained.
"Yes! The cows are very strong, so let them starve a little longer so they won't make too much noise."
"When will he wake up? We'll see then."
"Tomorrow, I'll wake up tomorrow morning."
"Dad, it's time for breakfast!" Chen Fugui shouted loudly from the watchtower.
Everyone went back to the cave, talking and laughing, washed their hands, went to the kitchen to eat, and then went to the orchard after eating.
In the orchard, Li Youcai, Chen Shengli and Hu Haohan saw the large basin surrounded by mountains and said happily: "Good! Good! Good!"
"I never thought there would be such a large basin in the forest," said Li Youcai.
"The soil looks gray, so it should be fertile. This is a good place!" Hu Haohan grabbed a handful of soil and checked it.
