Chapter 73: Xiao Xiaohui, the Cow Herder

They finished breakfast around 7.30 am.

Xiao Xiaohui should still be at the house.

Xiao Xiaohui was 13 years old.

When he was seven, Xiao Lingyus fourth uncle tried to send him to school.

Xiaohui was extremely resistant and refused to go.

He cried his heart out.

Grandma Xiao pitied the kid.

She hugged her third grandson and chided Fourth Uncle, “The child is still young.

If he doesnt want to go, then delay it for one year.

It wont affect anything.” Xiao Xiaohui had his grandmothers support, and he managed to escape school for two years.

“Xiao Xiaohui!” Xiao Lingyu shouted before she entered the courtyard.

Xiao Xiaohui ran out and shouted happily when he saw Xiao Lingyu, “Eldest cousin!” Xiao Xiaohui snatched the plate Xiao Lingyu was holding.

He stuffed the pancake into his mouth.

“Elas cousin beat me the west.” Eldest cousin treats me the best.

His words were unclear due to his stuffed mouth.

Xiao Lingyu patted his head and said, “Come on, you need to bring some to your parents.

Ill go feed the cows.

Also, I have something to discuss with your parents later.”

“Okay.” Xiao Xiaohui nodded.

Then, he carried a plate of egg pancakes into his house.

Xiao Lingyu moved to her fourth uncles cow pens.

Once the calf saw Xiao Lingyu, he was excited and poked his head out.

Xiao Lingyu touched his head and smiled, “You are really intelligent.

Come drink this!” Xiao Lingyu looked around, and then spring water flowed into the water bucket.

The calf was immediately attracted by it.

He hesitated before running back to his mother.

He mooed, and his mother mooed back.

Unable to withstand the calfs mooing, the mother cow shuffled over and lowered her head to drink.

The calf spun around his mother happily.

When the mother cow was done, the calf stuck his head into the bucket to drink the water.

Xiao Lingyu was impressed and charmed by the intelligent calf.

She touched his head, “Youll have to stay at Fourth Uncles place for another two days.

When mom and dad finish our cow pen, Ill fetch you home.” The calf mooed as if agreeing.

Xiao Lingyu turned to her fourth uncles house.

When she saw her fourth uncles family of three fight over the pancakes, she was quite speechless.

‘Are the pancakes that delicious that they made fourth uncle and fourth aunt fight over it with their kid

Xiao Lingyu had no idea this was the best food her fourth uncles family ever had.

So naturally, they couldnt have Xiao Xiaohui eat everything.

Liu Chunhua grabbed a piece of pancake and asked Xiao Lingyu, “Lingyu, your pancakes are delicious.

Ive never eaten something so delicious.

When Xiaohui told me about it yesterday, I couldnt believe it.

But now I know its true.” She took another big bite and chewed.

“Who made them”

Xiao Lingyu said, “I did!”

As soon as Xiao Lingyu said that, Xiao Xiaohui looked up.

“No wonder its not as delicious as yesterday! Eldest cousins cooking is not as good as second aunt.”

Xiao Lingyu, “…” She was offended, but she had to admit the pancakes were more delicious yesterday.

Yesterdays pancakes had more spring water.

Today, she only used a bit.

“You brat, what are you talking about” Xiao Mingyang smacked Xiao Xiaohui on the back of his head.

“You should be thankful!”

“But Im only telling the truth!” Xiao Xiaohui grumbled at his father.

“Then, you shouldnt eat them.

Your dad will finish everything.” Xiao Mingyang then snatched the pancakes from his son.

Xiao Lingyu, “…”

“No, Im not full yet.” Xiao Xiaohui protested.

“Furthermore, I plan to bring them to school.

Ill eat them during breaks.”

Xiao Xiaohui was in his puberty.

Even if he had a full breakfast, his stomach would be grumbling when it came noon.

Xiao Xiaohui held his pancakes tightly as if afraid that his father would really steal from him.

He took another big bite and said, “Dad, Im a child.

You cant steal stuff from me!”

Xiao Mingyang burst out laughing.

Then, he thought of something and turned to Xiao Lingyu, “Lingyu, Xiaohui said you have something to discuss with us.

What is it”

Xiao Lingyu said, “Fourth uncle, I have bought two cattle.

I want Xiao Hui to herd them for me.

Ill pay Xiaohui 2 RMB per day.

Xiaohui, will you do it”

“Of course!” When he heard hed be paid, Xiao Xiaohui volunteered immediately.

After all, he had nothing to do in the afternoon after returning from school.

He could help his cousin and earn money.

Why not

Liu Chunhua said, “Lingyu, you dont need to pay Xiaohui.

Hes free in the afternoon anyway.

He goes around causing trouble.

Hell help you for free!”

“No! Im getting paid!” Xiao Xiaohui complained loudly, “If you dont pay me… I… I will not help!”

Although, to be honest, Xiao Xiaohui would help either way.

At Taoyuan Village, he admired his eldest cousin the most.

She went to a good university and worked in a big city.

He would do anything his first cousin asked him to.

But of course, if he were paid, it would be better.

He had so many things he wanted to buy, but now he could only stare at them.

Liu Chunhuas face darkened.

She pinched her sons ear.

“You brat, youre only going to herd some cattle, and you dare to demand money You went over to your second aunts place to get food and drinks all the time.

Do you pay for them”

Xiao Xiaohui was ashamed, and he pouted, “Fine, then dont pay me.” His mother let go of his ears.

Xiao Lingyu had to chuckle, looking at Xiao Xiaohuis puffy cheeks.

She shook his head.

“Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt, I need Xiaohui to herd the cows for me for a long time.

Its not for a day or not.

I feel bad having Xiaohui do it for free.

Im sure hes not going to feel satisfied working for free either.

Right, Xiaohui”

Xiao Mingyang said sternly, “He wouldnt dare!” He thought about it and said, “How about this, Lingyu If you want to pay him, dont give him too much money.

Give him 50 cents per day.

That is enough for him to buy candy.”

Xiao Lingyu was speechless.

She was sure Xiao Xiaohui wanted to buy stuff more expensive than candies.

For Xiao Xiaohui, the amount of money didnt really matter as long as he had money.

Fifty cents was still money.

He could save up and buy the things he wanted.

He definitely wouldnt buy candies.

They would only stick to his teeth.

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “50 cents is too little.

How about I give him 1 RMB Xiaohui, Ill pay you every ten days, is that okay”

“Yes!” Xiao Xiaohui immediately nodded.

1 RMB a day, 10 RMB in ten days.

He could buy a big toy with 10 RMB already.

His parents sighed and didnt say anything else.

Xiao Lingyu looked at the time and told her fourth uncle and aunt.

“Fourth Uncle and Aunt, Im going to the county town.

Do you need me to buy anything for you”

“Its alright.

Thank you!” Her aunt and uncle shook their heads.

Xiao Xiaohuis eyes lit up, and he said, “Eldest cousin, can you buy me a Transformer toy You can deduct the money from my future salary!”

Xiao Lingyu, “…” Where did the boy learn something like that

Xiao Mingyang and Liu Chunhua, “…” They wanted to cover their faces.

Their son was not good at studying, but he was very shrewd about everything else.

Xiao Lingyu nodded.

“Okay!”

Xiao Xiaohui immediately jumped up in joy.

“Thank you, eldest cousin!”

Xiao Mingyang smacked his sons head and said, “So you have to work hard herding the cows for your eldest cousin in the future, understand”

Xiao Xiaohui patted his head and said, “Dad, I know…”

Xiao Lingyu said goodbye to her fourth uncles family.

Xiao Xiaohui went to the school in the opposite village, and Xiao Lingyu took the bus to town.

She didnt stop at Xing An Town and took another bus to Xing Yin County City.

When she arrived, Xiao Lingyu walked towards the wholesale market.
