Chapter 212: Donkey: The Ride (4)
Chapter 212: Donkey: The Ride (4)
Tang Xiaobao still slept until ten o'clock.
He rolled over from the sofa and landed hard on the concrete floor.
The owner of the cattle farm has always advocated saving where possible and spending where necessary, without spending a penny. His office of more than 50 square meters doesn't even have a single floor tile.
【(?`?Д?′)!! Ouch…Grandpa? ! 】
The fat boy was stunned after the fall. He was only wearing the little dinosaur's boxer briefs.
He vaguely remembered that his grandfather had mentioned last night that he would go out to do some errands early this morning, so he simply crawled back into the quilt and fell into a nap in a daze.
Tang Chao was so careless that he didn't even think about bringing his child's clothes and shoes when he went out...
He had finished his work by now and was covered in sweat. The sparse hair on his head was wet and stuck in clumps due to sweat.
The boss had his WeChat account and didn’t ask the price, but directly transferred 500 yuan.
If the hoof is allowed to continue to rot, both cows will be lost, and even if the workers' bonuses are deducted, it will still be far from enough.
He knew what was going on, and he had been watching the hoof trimming for the past few hours. The old man worked meticulously and didn't mind the dirt or the smell, not even bothering to wipe the sweat off his face.
[Grandpa, please take the money. I will call the veterinarian later to see how to reduce the inflammation.]
[Well, I only trim hooves.]
Tang Chao opened the chat page, without looking at it carefully, and directly clicked to receive.
It was not until the boss sent the father and son home that Tang Xiaobao started yelling that he wanted to pee. When Tang Chao picked up his phone again, he realized that it would only cost eighty yuan to repair four hooves of two cows, but the boss ended up paying five hundred yuan.
There was also a message from the boss below, saying that he was grateful for helping to recover a heavy loss and told him not to be polite. If he returned the money, he would not dare to ask him to repair his hoof in the future.
Tang Chao wiped his face and laughed out loud. Can we have another dozen of such generous and magnanimous bosses? !
[Ah~Ah~Ah~]
Dear master, do you still remember that you raised a hungry little donkey?
You tied the rope so tightly, aren't you afraid that I'll starve to death? !
When Tang Chao heard the donkey's braying, he slapped his forehead and thought, "Oh no! I finally remembered that I still have to support a big mouth."
There is a lot of fodder stored in the firewood shed at the back, so just bring a bundle over.
Donkeys are animals that need rough breeding and their feed does not need to be too fine. Just mix a little oat bran into the grass, mix well and put it in the trough. They can eat small meals frequently and it will be much easier.
Livestock are too lazy to move in winter and like to huddle together for warmth.
The poor little donkey was bought at a cattle and horse market in the Tang Dynasty. It had no companion except Tang Xiaobao, who had to pull its tail out from between its hind legs all day long. He was barely a playmate, but he couldn't be held for warmth.
【Ah~】
Hey kid, I don't blame you for not having enough education. Donkeys are not like dogs. They can't wag their tails just by seeing people...
My long tail must be placed in that position since birth, please don't make things difficult for me, okay?
It's so cold, but you don't even pull me into the house to warm up with firewood. My short fur can't withstand the cold weather.
The cattle and horse market opens every half a month, and coincidentally, the day arrived the next day.
It was also the last time he did business before the New Year. Tang Chao opened the tool bag, which was just a sack, and hung it on the back of the donkey.
Tang Xiaobao pretended to ride the donkey, just like Avanti in the cartoon, which scared the skinny donkey so much that it pissed itself and ran away without saying goodbye.
[You little brat, don't you know your own worth? This donkey is for me to carry tools!!! How can it carry you? ]
Tang Chao was furious. He said this and hurried after the donkey. Before leaving, he did not forget to throw the key to Tang Xiaobao and asked him to lock the door.
Aunt Li moved a chair to the doorstep early in the morning to bask in the sun. She also had a few pairs of insoles in her hands with auspicious words written on them with a water-soluble pen. She would give them to her three daughters during the New Year. If they stepped on them more, good fortune would naturally come.
She heard the sound of hooves and looked up to see a little black donkey running towards her. Tang Chao, who was a few steps behind, chased after it.
She stretched her neck to see if the cute little fat boy was behind her.
Her neck was sore when she saw the little fat boy running after her, the chubby baby fat on his face shaking up and down. When he came closer, he did not forget to wave his little hand to say hello to her.
Oh, he’s so cute that she wants to take him home to be her grandson.
(?????)? ??
Tang Xiaobao noticed the change in Grandma Li's expression, and was so scared that he clenched his buttocks, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed towards Grandpa at full speed, not giving Grandma Li a chance to deceive him.
[Hey, you little brat, I'll go to your house tomorrow to catch you! I'll introduce you to my daughters then. Who doesn't like a chubby little boy like this? I'll ask them to give birth to a few for me to play with!!!]
Aunt Li's three daughters, who were busy with their careers in different places, shuddered at the same time. The assistant behind them quickly put a thick coat on her shoulders, which was very considerate.
Be considerate and get a raise in salary.
The cattle and horse market is not far from the village. It only takes more than half an hour to walk there.
Occasionally, when I meet young people returning home early, they will roll down the car window and say hello when they see Tang Chao from afar.
?(.???.)?
Tang Xiaobao's pleasing appearance won him the favor of many aunts, uncles, and sisters-in-law. After a while, he had a lot of snacks in his hands, and the little fat boy smiled.
They all came back to celebrate the New Year. Besides the people, there were a lot of snacks in the car, packed in boxes.
[Grandpa, here, this is delicious! ]
Tang Xiaobao didn't eat alone. He caught up with the grandfather in front of him and stuffed a big bag of spicy konjac shreds into his mouth.
[Ah~Ah~Ah~]
No share for me?! The red oil with cumin and peppercorns tastes so delicious, I am dying of greed!
Suck! Suck!
Saliva dripping, eyes full of desire.
[Xiaobao, don't give it to him. Wait until he grows up a little bit and his stomach gets better. If he gets diarrhea on the way, you will have to take care of him!]
If Tang Chao had spoken a second later, the handful of konjac shreds in Tang Xiaobao's hand would have been thrown into the donkey's wide-open mouth...
Later, the little donkey was always sulking and deliberately going against Tang Chao. It walked in front and would suddenly stop from time to time, causing Tang Chao to bump into its raised butt without any preparation.
Tang Chao laughed angrily. Hey, this guy still holds a grudge. What's the matter with this little dwarf who wants to knock someone down? !
The cattle and horse market has no gate and no signboard. It is filled with large trucks pulling cattle, horses, sheep and some donkeys that look good.
Tang Chao held the reins tightly and looked back every few steps to see if his grandson was following him.
Livestock dealers from several nearby counties and cities would come here to trade. Tang Xiaobao was so fair and tender that they were afraid that some bad guys would sneak in and target him.
The little donkey followed obediently and didn't do anything naughty.
The main reason is that the livestock being bought and sold now are larger and have louder voices.
Horses neigh, cows moo, sheep bleat, but no one is gentle.
Tang Chao saw that the little guy looked depressed and guessed that he might be a little scared.
[Ah~Ah~Ah~]
Bullshit, I just lamented the unfairness of fate. After the transaction, will many of the animals present be served on the table? !
It's just a matter of hurting one's own kind...
