After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 364 Shi Huai

Thinking this, Xia Wanniang headed towards the large livestock trading market outside the city.

It's much more lively here now, than in winter.

She remembered that sheep were the fastest breeding animal. If she hadn't been leaving, she could have raised some sheep and opened a mutton restaurant.

I walked into the market according to my memory. The old man was still sitting in the same position, but there were only two cows in the cowshed behind him.

He held a palm-leaf fan in his hand and fanned it intermittently with his eyes closed: "Let's go look somewhere else. These two cows are not for sale. They are kept for calving."

"Old man, I'm not here to buy a cow." Xia Wanniang looked at him with a smile.

The old man heard a familiar voice, and when he opened his eyes he saw Xia Wanniang: "Why are you here? Are you here to buy a cow again?"

Xia Wanniang walked over to a small stool beside him and sat down: "Yes and no."

The old man looked at the person sitting next to him and said, "I'm keeping these two cows for calving, so I can't sell them to you. If you want to buy one, I'll take you to choose one, and I guarantee you'll pick the best one."

Xia Wanniang: "Old man, do you know how to choose a horse?"

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, there are certain things to pay attention to when choosing a horse." Then he began to explain it to her in detail and pointed out the horses sold in the market.

Some are suitable for working, some are suitable for pulling carts, and some are suitable for running.

Xia Wanniang understood what he said and said, "Old man, why don't you sell the horse?"

"In Los Angeles, people who can afford horses already have horses. The rest of the people would rather buy cows than horses." The old man said to her slyly.

Xia Wanniang thought the old man was quite interesting: "Old man, I don't know how to address you yet."

The old man said with a smile: "Shi Huai, you can call me Shi Lao Han or Shi Lao Tou."

Xia Wanniang: "Old Man Shi, you have good skills in raising cattle and horses. Did you learn this from someone else?"

Shi Huai looked at her and said, "You want to steal my skills?"

Xia Wanniang was amused by him: "No, no, I'm just asking out of curiosity."

"I learned this in the military camp. The horses in the military camp were very precious!" Shi Huai felt a little nostalgic when he thought about it.

"You've served in the army!" Xia Wanniang was a little surprised.

Shi Huai said with pride: "Of course not, it's not because I'm old, I'm still in the military camp!"

Xia Wanniang: "Old Man Shi, I want to find someone to take care of the cows and horses at home. Are you willing to go? Food and accommodation are provided, and there is salary and clothes for four seasons."

Shi Huai blinked his cloudy eyes: "Don't you mind my age?"

Xia Wanniang: "An old man in the family is like a treasure. I'm afraid others may not be able to learn what you have learned even if they want to."

Shi Huai was deeply moved. After leaving the army, he was old, his parents were no longer at home, and his brothers and sisters all had their own families. He couldn't find a suitable place.

So he used the money he saved in the army to buy two cows, lived here and started a livestock selling business.

I never thought that one day someone would want to invite me back home, give me a place to stay, food to eat, and a good night's sleep.

"You really don't mind my age?"

Xia Wanniang nodded: "I don't mind. If you are free, come with me to pick a few horses. I will help you buy all these cows later. You can take your money and your belongings and follow me."

Shi Huai smiled happily: "Okay, okay." Then he got up and took Xia Wanniang to buy a horse.

Everyone in the market knew Shi Huai and knew that when he came to help people look after horses, he would pull out the best horses for them to choose from.

Shi Huai was also smiling and picked out five good horses for Xia Wanniang. Although they were not good horses, they were still the best among ordinary horses.

Xia Wanniang bought another carriage and a few saddles, but did not buy an ox cart.

When the people in the market saw that Shi Huai was leaving, they were all shocked. You know, Shi Huai had been here for many years, and he suddenly said he was leaving, so they were a little uncomfortable.

"Uncle Shi, you really have to leave! If you leave, you will have fewer drinking companions in the future."

"Are you in need of a drinking partner? You're just worried that something might happen to the livestock you raise and no one will solve the problem for you." The people around him laughed and joked.

"Aren't you guys?"

Shi Huai looked at them and said, "It's rare that an employer is willing to hire me. You can't let me die of old age next to the barn!"

"Grandpa, you can't go. If you go, who will give me money?" A voice came from behind the crowd.
