Mountain Running: Contract A Beast And Take Over The Whole Mountain

“Your Dahua is really good!”

“I’ll take this one, here’s four dollars, keep it.”

Shi Lin gave a thumbs up and finally chose the last kid, the little monk spirit.

“Haha, good. My Dahua is really good at breeding. Do you want to buy another one? Two are easier to raise. For the second one, I’ll give you a cheaper price of three dollars and fifty cents.”

The old man took the money and smiled, trying to trick Shi Lin into buying another one.

Unfortunately, Shi Lin was very determined and decisively refused, turning around and leaving.

Seeing Shi Lin walking away, an old lady who was setting up a stall next to the old man started to tease him:

“Old Zhutou, didn’t your Dahua just give birth to four puppies last month? Why did she give birth again this month?”

“My Dahua can give birth, why can’t I?”

The old man snorted, turned around and happily put four yuan in his pocket, thinking that now the cost of six puppies has been recovered, and it will be pure profit if I buy more later…

……

At the intersection of the market.

Shi Yuying saw a big pig leg on Shi Lin’s back, and then saw the little black pup in his hand, and she immediately reacted.

How could this bastard boy be in a hurry to pee? He was obviously making an excuse to run away and go shopping!

“…… I’ve already told you that we have everything at home, and you’re still spending money recklessly. See if your parents will scold you when you get home.”

Since they’ve already bought everything, Shi Yuying is too lazy to get angry with him now. She rolled her eyes at him and complained,

“It’s OK to buy a pig leg, but why did you buy a puppy? Our father can’t hunt, so where can we feed the dogs at home?”

Their family used to have four dogs, forming a dog gang, and followed their father to the mountains to hunt.

Later, their father’s leg was injured, and he couldn’t go up the mountain. Without hunting for the dogs, the four dogs at home became a burden.

Eating more than people at each meal, how can they be raised in this era of material scarcity?

As a last resort, she reluctantly gave up the four dogs and sold them half and half to Shi Lin’s cousin Shi Yujun.

It’s only been a few months since this happened, and now Shi Yuying is very puzzled to see Shi Lin buy another dog.

“Hehe, Dad doesn’t hunt, I do! Besides, when we go up the mountain to collect honey, we have to bring someone to keep watch. In case any big guys come, this little guy can give early warning, right?”

Shi Lin smiled and didn’t explain too much. He took the little black bear and walked in front.

Shi Yuying curled her lips. Just a little guy the size of a palm, and he still needs to give warning? It’s lucky that he is not caught by the big guys in the mountains as food.

However, after Lao Liu said this, she suddenly felt that she should raise a dog. After all, there are many wild animals in the mountains. It would be much safer for them to have a dog to keep watch and give warning when they go up the mountain to collect honey.

And with the income they earn from collecting honey now, raising a dog will not be a burden.

……

Xigou Village.

As soon as Shi Lin and his sister walked into the village, they were noticed by many people, and their second aunt was among them.

Seeing that they were carrying so many things, the second aunt came up to them and asked:

“Yuying, Linzi, it’s not a festival, why did you two buy so many things? Is Linzi’s marriage settled?”

There are no secrets in the small village. In recent years, the news that Shi Lin’s family went to Lin Xiaoxia’s house in the village to ask for marriage has spread all over the village.

Seeing that the two siblings bought so many things again today, it is reasonable for the second aunt to guess so.

“No, we just went to the market normally to buy some food to go home, but there is no marriage or anything.”

“Dad and mom are still waiting for us at home, second aunt, we will go back first.”

After saying that, Shi Lin didn’t care about his second aunt’s reaction, and hurried away.

Shi Yuying did the same, smiled at their second aunt, and left quickly.

This second aunt is a famous big mouth in their village. If something is passed on to her, it will spread throughout the village in less than half a day.

Moreover, this word-of-mouth method, from the first person to the last person who heard it, the meaning may have been distorted countless times.

On weekdays, Shi Lin and his friends would keep their distance when they met the second aunt, and dare not talk much, for fear that some rumors would spread around.

However, today they were carrying so much rice, flour, grain, oil, hens, and pork legs.

Even if they didn’t communicate much, their second aunt felt that she had discovered some big news, and turned around to chat with a group of aunts.

“I think the good thing between Lin Zi and Xiao Xia is likely to be successful! The third child is really capable. The Lin family offered such high conditions, but they were able to make it happen.”

Several aunts next to them also chatted.

“Yes, I thought this thing couldn’t be done, but I didn’t expect it to be successful. I heard that the Lin family wanted the third child to be successful.After a ring, they asked for a betrothal gift of 500 yuan, which is higher than the price asked by the girls in the city. ”

“Shi Laosan made a lot of money from hunting in the past few years. I’m afraid he will spend all of it this time to marry his precious son.”

“It’s a pity that Shi Laosan’s leg is broken, and his precious son is not a good person. He spends so much money to marry a daughter-in-law now, and he doesn’t know what will happen in the future?”

“What will happen? Eat commercial grain! Xiaoxia is a teacher in the city and has a salary of dozens of yuan a month. Shi Laosan spent a lot of money to marry such a daughter-in-law, so it’s not a loss.”

“Tsk, what do you know? The Lin family has already made the conditions. After three transfers and one ring, the betrothal gifts are ready. Xiaoxia can marry in, but the girl’s salary must continue to be handed over to the Lin family every month…”

When the second aunt said this, the aunts present were stunned. They didn’t expect that there was such a condition in the Lin family.

Isn’t this too harsh?

……

After returning home, Shi Lin put the things down and took out money from his pocket under the expectant eyes of the two elders.

“Dad and Mom, this is the money left from selling honey and buying things today, 102 yuan and 80 cents. Here, 100 yuan for you, and the remaining 2.8 yuan, I will keep it.”

Shi Yuying also took out money from her pocket, “I still have 15 yuan and 40 cents left from buying hens. ”

Looking at the money handed over by her son and daughter, Ye Meihui happily took it and counted it carefully. One hundred and fifteen yuan and forty cents, that’s right.

“Okay, then mother will keep it for you first. Come to mother for money later when you need it.”

“Xiaowu, take these five yuan and go back to cut a piece of cloth to make yourself a new dress.”

Not only is Xiaoliu old enough to get married, but Xiaowu, as the elder sister, is also 22 years old. She is considered an old girl in the village, so she has to dress up to meet people.

Shi Yuying waved her hand, “My clothes are not broken yet, they can still be worn, no need to make them.”

“It has to be made. Give Xiaowu another five yuan and make two more. ”

Shi Zhenggang said,

“Xiaowu, you are not young anymore, it’s time to get ready to meet someone. We were going to arrange your affairs in the first half of the year, but your father fell and delayed it until now. Fortunately, you are making money now…”

Seeing his children making money, Comrade Shi was also very touched and was sincerely happy for his children.

Shi Lin smiled and teased: “Fifth sister, please accept it quickly. Our parents are so generous once. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again.”

How can a young girl in her early twenties not love beauty and dress herself up beautifully? It’s all because of “being sensible” (note: being sensible is still a compliment these days).

“You are the only one who talks too much. How did we treat you harshly?”

Ye Meihui patted him, stuffed ten yuan and forty cents into Shi Yuying’s hand, and began to check what they bought.

“Five hens, not bad, our family will have eggs to eat every day in the future;

Why did you buy such a big pig leg? If you want to eat meat, can’t you just buy two pounds of pork? How much does it cost?

Hmm? And white flour? Rice? Wow, malted milk? ! And what are these bottles and jars? Why is there a puppy? ! ”

Seeing what they bought, Ye Meihui was a little uneasy.

She didn’t know the others, but she knew the big pig leg. This one cost at least 20 yuan.

There were also two cans of malted milk! This can cost several yuan! And rice and white flour, which are much more expensive than the coarse grains they eat.

“You two wasteful things, tell me, how much did these things cost? How much did the honey sell for in total? ! ”

Hearing that Ye Meihui’s voice was several degrees higher than before, Shi Yuying shrank her neck and looked at Shi Lin.
