MTL - Those Years of Dressing As An Animal-Chapter 190
"Yo, it's Granny Zhang, are you going to go out to town this early in the morning?"
It was only just now that the hall was bright, and it was not past seven o'clock when someone bumped into Mrs. Zhang, who was also rushing to town, on the path outside the village, and hurriedly said hello.
"It's A Ping, yes, it's not just the day of the fair, I just went over to see if there is anything the family needs to sell, and by the way, I'll buy some meat for the family back..." The person who recognized it was a villager. The wife of a junior who just married last year, Mrs. Zhang was busy chatting with each other with a smile, chatting while walking.
The two of them were going to the town market at the moment, and they were on the same road, and they just rushed there together.
Mrs. Zhang has a good personality and is popular in the village, and everyone is happy to chat with her.
After chatting for a while, the young woman who was called A Ping by the old lady Zhang looked at the old lady's feet in surprise, "Yo, is this the goose you raised?"
The old lady Zhang turned her head to look, nodded, and said with some pride: "Yes, didn't you bring a few ducklings and goslings home to keep them at home, this is the big goose that started to be raised at that time, now Finally, I have grown up, my feathers have grown, and I look more energetic..."
When it comes to the big goose at home, Mrs. Zhang's words are obviously a lot more, and she may not realize it in her heart, but her words are full of show off.
"Then this big goose is really good! It's all Granny Zhang, you raise it well. People like us don't have the time to raise these chickens, ducks and geese. It's a little noisy, and it's chaotic everywhere. If you don't work hard, you won't have a home Fadai." Ping naturally praised her according to what Mrs. Zhang said.
"No, it's not difficult to raise chickens, ducks and geese, you just need to spend more time, and this goose is also smart on its own. I just brought it home a few days ago, and it didn't take a while to learn how to go to the toilet at home. , I don't need to be taught at all. When I was sick, I would take the initiative to call you Aunt Huang to come and call me Dr. Liu. If it weren't for it, my body would have been burned at that time..." Mrs. Zhang Yue The more vigorously she said it, the more A Ping said it, she was stunned.
A Ping glanced at the big white goose who had been following Mrs. Zhang's feet. No matter what she thought, it was hard to completely believe what Granny Zhang said just now.
Although the big goose can also be used to guard the house in addition to eating, and it is very loyal to the owner if it is well-raised, but it is impossible to be so smart!
Even a dog whose IQ is comparable to that of a child can't be self-taught without being taught, and even go to the toilet like a human!
Not to mention calling the neighbors for help when the owner is sick!
Without someone to teach it, even a child of a few years old may not be able to do this!
However, although A Ping didn't really believe what Mrs. Zhang said about the goose just now, it was impossible for her to deliberately refute and attack the other party when the old lady was in high spirits, so she had to nod her head from time to time. Some perfunctory responses.
Mrs. Zhang wondered if she didn't see A Ping's disbelief in her heart, and continued to speak.
After a while, A Ping finally interrupted the old lady's endless conversation and asked, "We are going to the town market. Mother-in-law, are you planning to let this big goose go with you?"
Hearing this question, the smile on Mrs. Zhang's face still didn't fade away, "Yes, I originally planned to go there alone, but who knew that this goose would come after me as soon as I walked out of the house, how can I chase it away? , it doesn't want to go home, it has to follow me, I have no choice, so I have to let it follow all the way, anyway, it is obedient, and even if it reaches the town, it will not run away randomly."
The old lady Zhang told the truth. She just wanted to go to the town early in the morning to go to the town to see what she could bring home, but she just walked out of the yard for a while, and she was still sleeping on the belly of the big yellow dog. The big goose suddenly ran out and insisted on following her.
Mrs. Zhang didn't plan to bring such a big white goose to the town at first. After all, she had never tried it before, but who made this big white goose too stubborn, no matter what she said, she was still unwilling to go home. She couldn't help it. She had to let the big white goose follow her.
Anyway, this big white goose has been very obedient and sensible since she was a child. The big white goose loves to be clean, and there is no smell on it at all, so Mrs. Zhang doesn't dislike it at all when she holds it in her arms.
After listening to the old lady's words, Ah Ping's expression was a little exaggerated, "Well, it must be too human, it sounds more loyal than some dogs!"
As soon as these words were finished, A Ping noticed that the big white goose following the old lady's feet suddenly raised its head high, as if to say that she was right!
Seeing the humanized performance of the big white goose, A Ping wanted to wonder if she should have completely disbelieved the words the old lady said to praise the big white goose for being smart!
Just like what Mrs. Zhang said just now, on the way to the town market, Chen Xing, the big white goose, followed the old lady all the way, without stopping for a moment, no need for Mrs. Zhang to slow down. Steps will not be lost.
And A Ping, who accompanied Mrs. Zhang all the way to the town, saw the performance of the big white goose, and the idea of doubting what Mrs. Zhang said became more and more shaken.
Maybe it's just that the old lady's description is a little exaggerated, but is this big white goose really very smart?
When I arrived at the town's market, although it was only after seven o'clock, it seemed very early in the eyes of young people, but the market was already crowded with nearby residents and villagers from neighboring villages.
A large group of people from Wuyang was crowded in this not-so-open market, and it was extraordinarily lively to watch.
When they got to the market, A Ping had something she wanted to buy, so she couldn't go on the same road with Mrs. Zhang all the time. The two simply separated and went about their own business.
Turning around, Mrs. Zhang was left with only herself and the big white goose who had been following her closely.
Mrs. Zhang saw so many people in the market, and she was a little worried that the big white goose might be crowded away from her by the flow of people.
Moreover, if the big white goose walks on the road by itself, I am afraid it will be caught and sold or slaughtered.
Mrs. Zhang didn't want to see her very smart big white goose "died young" and become someone else's meat, so she simply said a few words from a vegetable stall next to her, asking for one. The plastic rope used to tie the vegetables is loosely tied around the neck of the big white goose, and it is also tied with a slip knot, so there is no need to worry about the neck of the big white goose.
Mrs. Zhang held one end of the rope, and the other end of the rope was tied around Chen Xing's neck. Once the master petted her, she didn't have to worry that she might be forced to separate due to the crowded crowd.
The old lady Zhang took a big white goose that followed her closely and started to stroll around the market.
The people in the market were still attentively strolling around, but when they accidentally saw an old lady walking around with a big white goose, they were immediately attracted by this peculiar picture.
Mrs. Zhang took Chen Xing, the big white goose, and it instantly became the most eye-catching and unique "scenery" on the entire street.
Mrs. Zhang didn't notice the surprised eyes of others looking at her and Chen Xing. She was wandering around the market attentively, when she suddenly saw someone selling freshly caught small river fish, thinking about the greedy big orange cat at home, Still stopped and started bargaining with the boss, picking and choosing the goods.
Mrs. Zhang is very familiar with the prices of most of the goods, so the boss didn't get much help in the bargaining process, and could only pretend to sell the Xiaohe fish to Mrs. Zhang at a loss, with a little embarrassed expression on her face. .
How could Mrs. Zhang not know that this was all the boss's plan, so she didn't feel that she really took a lot of advantage, but for the sake of the fresh fish in Xiaohe, she still paid very neatly.
After spending 20 yuan, Mrs. Zhang bought a large bag of small river fish. The small river fish is only as big as a finger. Many people think it is too troublesome to make, and they have to remove the internal organs one by one, so they prefer to eat large ones The fish has no spines yet.
However, Mrs. Zhang originally planned to buy it to feed the cat, but she felt that the small fish was more suitable for feeding the cat. Moreover, the old lady had enough free time at home, and she also liked the fluffy and coquettish big orange cat very much. Happy to take the time to make it tasty.
When the time comes, I will go home and clean the internal organs of the small fish, dry the small fish, and save it as a snack for the big orange cat. Such a large bag can last for a long time, and it is no better than those pet treats that are expensive. Difference.
The old lady Zhang readily took the money and handed it to the boss. The boss took the money, and the amount was no problem, so she planned to hand the bag of fish in her hand to the other party.
Who knew that at this time, the boss hadn't handed the bag in his hand to the old lady. Chen Xing, the big white goose who had been following the old lady's feet just now, suddenly stood up and stretched out his neck. I'm going to put this bag of fish in the boss's hand.
Suddenly being squeezed behind by the big white goose, Mrs. Zhang didn't think that the other party was deliberately making trouble.
Mrs. Zhang took a closer look at the big white goose's posture at the moment. Seeing that the other side's slender neck seemed to want to drill into the gap in the handle of the plastic bag holding the fish, she quickly realized what the big white goose meant. .
The boss saw that Mrs. Zhang didn't reach out to take it. Instead, the big white goose she was holding stretched its neck towards him. He was really puzzled, "Old lady, who is your goose?"
The old lady Zhang came back to her senses, reached out again, and took the fish from the boss's hand.
Suddenly, the old lady took the lead. Chen Xing, who failed, turned to look at the old lady, his neck still stretched out, and he insisted on drilling into the bag of fish in the old lady's hand.
The old lady didn't originally plan to let Chen Xing, the big white goose, carry the bag of fish, but seeing that the other party still didn't give up, she kept leaning on her and digging her neck into the bag.
After a while, the old lady really couldn't resist this extraordinarily stubborn big white goose. One person and one pet here will only delay the next time. The old lady had no choice but to take the initiative to hang the bag of fish on the neck of the big white goose.
Chen Xing, who finally got what he wanted and helped the old lady a little, stopped the entanglement with the old lady just now, and proudly held his neck, highlighting the bag of fish hanging around his neck.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang smiled helplessly.
Forget it, let it carry it like this first, and then she will take it off and carry it herself when she realizes she is tired after a while.
How can a big goose be as strong as someone who is used to farm work like this?
That is to say, the big goose is loyal to her, considerate of her, and smart enough to want to help her share some.
In any case, the performance of Chen Xing, the big white goose just now, really made Mrs. Zhang feel particularly relieved. The more she did not regard Chen Xing as an ordinary poultry, but slowly placed it with her family. The two big yellow dogs and the big orange cat are in the same position.
I believe that as long as Chen Xing continues to treat her with such sincerity, the old lady will eventually let Chen Xing get what she wants, and regard him as a very important part of the writer, not someone who can be easily killed and served on the table and can be replaced at any time. exist.
The owner of the fish seller watched the action of one person and one goose, and said in surprise at this moment: "Auntie, this goose you raised in your house is amazing!" As he said, the boss gave a thumbs up.
There are many people raising geese in rural areas, but this is the first time the boss has seen those who can raise geese for this purpose.
When Mrs. Zhang heard the boss's compliments, she waved her hands hastily, "Anywhere, this goose is smart, and she still loves my old wife..."
The old lady Zhang and the boss said a few more words, and then they separated, and continued to visit the market with Chen Xing with a bag of fish hanging around her neck.
This time, there were more eyes on the market to look at Mrs. Zhang and the big white goose she was holding.
Next, Mrs. Zhang bought a lot of things for the family, but after that, no matter how earnest Chen Xing was, Mrs. Zhang still didn't let him carry other things on her back, but carried them in her own hands.
A bag of fish is enough for a big white goose, so Mrs. Zhang couldn't bear to let the big white goose endure more.
If it wasn't for the persistence of the big white goose, Mrs. Zhang would definitely have brought the bag of fish hanging from its neck into her hands.
One person and one goose continued to visit this market. After walking around for a while, they met the boss from the last time, the one who sold ducklings and geese.
When Mrs. Zhang saw the boss's appearance, she immediately remembered that the big white goose was originally bought from the boss!
Mrs. Zhang recognized the boss, and the boss noticed the gaze that Mrs. Zhang cast towards him. With a good memory, he also recognized the identity of the old lady after a while, and knew that the old lady had patronized his business.
Immediately afterwards, the boss saw the big white goose being held by the old lady Zhang with a rope, and this big white goose even had a bag hanging around its neck, which looked heavy.
The boss immediately greeted the old lady: "Old lady, you are shopping again. It's a coincidence that we met again. Do you want to raise a few more chickens and ducks? It's still selling at your last price!"
The boss is in the business of poultry and cubs. If the old lady has this mind, it is natural that if she can make more business, it will be better.
Mrs. Zhang also hurriedly responded to the boss's greeting and waved her hand, "No, boss, I can't support that much at home by myself. I bought enough last time. How is your business these days?"
The boss said humbly: "It's just not up or down, it's just enough for the family to eat, and it can't make a lot of money! By the way, old lady, is it possible that the big white goose beside you is the one you bought from me last time?"
Speaking of this, the boss still remembers the goose that the old lady bought, but he was the least lively one of the goslings at that time!
I didn't know what happened at the beginning, maybe it was fate. When the originally very quiet little goose met the old lady, she suddenly stood up and shouted loudly, and finally asked the old lady to buy it.
It is precisely because of this special that the boss still remembers this clearly in his heart.
Hearing this question, the old lady responded immediately: "Yes, I bought this one from you last time, but it's smart, she insisted on following me to the market this morning. You have to help me carry the bag!"
Mrs. Zhang is now seizing the opportunity to show off this smart big white goose at home.
The boss smiled and didn't disturb the old lady's interest, and from time to time he would speak out to meet the other party.
As for what the boss was thinking, this is naturally unknown.
After chatting with the boss for a while, he talked about the excellence of Chen Xing, the big white goose, and Mrs. Zhang spoke very cheerfully.
It was not until the boss had new customers, which would have affected the business of the other party. After saying hello to the other party, Mrs. Zhang left with Chen Xing, the big white goose, and went to another place in the market.
