Chapter 63: It’s said that toads can’t eat swan meat. Why do you always like to fantasize?
Everyone in the family is proud of Liu Mingyuan. At the age of 20, Liu Mingyuan became a third-level engineer in the county steel factory and received a fixed salary of 35 yuan per month. This condition is quite good nowadays.
For the first time, Liu Mingyuan felt that his little niece was of some use. At least it could help him gain face in front of outsiders. He would have to reward her with a few White Rabbit toffees for whatever he said later.
After Sanya said so, Xue Ning had no choice but to exchange a few words with Liu Mingyuan.
After a few words, he got down to business, "I heard that your sow has given birth to a litter of piglets. I want to take a look."
Liu's mother came out of the kitchen when she heard the noise and saw Xue Ning. She was very enthusiastic and said, "Xue Zhiqing is here. Do you want to see the piglets? My pigsty is over there. Third child, please take Xue Zhiqing there quickly."
have a look."
Liu Mingyuan was assigned such a good task. He was very grateful to his mother. Just as he was about to take Xue Ning there, Carpenter Liu came out of the room and said, "Look at the pig, right? I'll take Xue Zhiqing out and pick a good one for you."
of."
Liu Mingyuan: "..."
Liu’s mother: “…” I always felt that her man was lacking in strength.
Carpenter Liu didn't notice the look on the mother-in-law's face as her son had eaten a fly, so he led Xue Ning towards the pig pen.
Liu Mingyuan scratched his head and followed.
The pig pen at Carpenter Liu's house is very clean, and the sow is lying on the ground feeding her piglets.
The piglets were lined up neatly and drank milk very hard.
Xue Ning counted and there were six little piglets.
Carpenter Liu said, "There were originally ten piglets, but the village chief and the captain's family took two back, and there were six left. Although they were picked, don't worry, these six piglets are all good.
As long as you raise it carefully, you will definitely grow strong."
Carpenter Liu pointed to the two ends on the far left, "If you see those two, the one that eats the most ferociously is definitely fine if you take it back and raise it."
Xue Ning doesn't know how to look at pigs, but Carpenter Liu is a man of heart, and it's always right to trust him.
Xue Ning made a decision quickly and said, "Then I want those two piglets! But the pig pen at my house has not been fenced yet. I have to wait a few more days before I can pick up the pigs and raise them. Uncle Liu, these two pigs
Just keep it for me."
Liu Carpenter sucked on the dry cigarette in his hand and said, "It's okay. You can take it away anytime. I'll help you raise it."
Xue Ning thanked you gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle Liu. How much does it cost, Uncle Liu, I will give it to you now."
"It's 20 yuan each, 40 yuan for two."
The price was pretty good as she expected, and she just happened to have enough money when she came out.
He took out three big unity cards and ten cards in one piece and handed them to Carpenter Liu.
Just as Carpenter Liu was about to accept it, he suddenly heard his third son say, "Dad, these two pigs were left over from being picked. You can't accept both 20, you have to accept less. You have to be sincere in doing business."
Carpenter Liu's hand holding the money stopped there, a little embarrassed.
His piglets are all very good-looking, and they cost 20 yuan each, and he has never thought of lowering the price or anything.
When his son said this today, Liu Carpenter felt that his son was embarrassing him and clearly wanted to make him unable to step down.
Even if you charge too much, you can just discuss it privately and return some, but how can you say it in front of the guests?
Carpenter Liu had a headache just looking at his troubled son.
However, I still took the money and refunded another 2 yuan.
"Xue Zhiqing is a very nice person, and he came from a long way away. It's not easy for the little girl, so I'll give you two dollars less."
Xue Ning pinched the two dollars in her hand, still a little confused.
Liu Mingyuan and Liu Carpenter must have a father-son relationship! Then why do they get along like this?
Carpenter Liu put the money into his pocket and planned to give it to his wife later. He asked Xue Ning, "Xue Zhiqing needs a pig pen at home. Let my son do it for you. He is at home during the busy farm break anyway."
It’s okay, let him exercise more.”
Humph, you dare to dismantle me and ask you to carry stones to death, you brat.
Xue Ning thought for a while, and the pig pen was a laborious task. It would be much faster if there were a few more people to help.
He immediately agreed, "Thank you then. Let's set the time on Sunday this week! I want to surround the pig pen as soon as possible."
The rule in the village is that you don't have to work on Sundays, so she naturally has time to do other things.
Liu Mingyuan quickly agreed, "Okay, I will go there early that day."
Liu Mingyuan was moved in his heart, and suddenly felt that his father was amiable.
This is obviously trying to match him!
His father is indeed good to him.
Xue Ning finished his work, said goodbye to Sanya and left.
After they left, Liu's mother walked to Liu Mingyuan and asked with a smile, "Third brother, what do you think of Xue Zhiqing?"
There was a hint of shyness on Liu Mingyuan's face, but he still nodded, "I think it's pretty good."
"Then you should work harder and catch up with this cute little girl. When the time comes, you can give me a fat grandson, and you will be blessed."
Liu Mingyuan was even more embarrassed.
Liu Carpenter's eyes almost popped out of his head as he listened. He glanced at his stupid son and said twice, "I told you that toads can't eat swan meat. Why do you always like to fantasize?" I like the group favorite of the era, Xiao Jiaojiao.
