Chapter 188 Old Classmates(1/3)

In any case, this little yellow dog was very suitable to Wang Cunye's liking. He was afraid of freezing it, so he put it in the backpack and covered it with an old cotton-padded jacket that he had prepared in advance to keep it warm.

But this little yellow dog does have an active temperament, a little too lively. He stood up on his hind legs several times and crawled out.

Seeing this, Wang Cunye had no choice but to take it out and hold it in his arms. However, even if he held it, it was not very honest. It would either turn its eyes and stare at the people walking around, or lie on Wang Cunye's arms and look at the black people.

The baby and Xiaojin wagged their tails, hummed softly, and struggled to get down to play with the two dogs.

"He must be a restless person even when he is raised..."

Wang Cunye said with a smile, but the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.

Then he enthusiastically ran to the stall of two acquaintances and weighed the little yellow dog, which weighed just over six pounds.

"The person who sells the dog shouldn't be fooling people. This is probably just a little tiger with a yellow head, or the puppy that has just been born is not so heavy."

He said to Chen Ling.

"Well, it's true that a one-month-old puppy can weigh six pounds. Even if it's a big breed, it shouldn't be too bad if it's tiger-headed yellow."

Chen Ling agreed.

"Lingzi, there's a stall selling bells. Come on, let's go take a look."

While the two men were talking, the second uncle dragged Chen Ling to the stall in front to pick up bells.

He bought it for the family's draft horse.

Hanging bells on packhorses can ward off wolves.

The local packhorse is a pony. The pony is small and strong, resistant to thirst and hard work, and has strong adaptability. It is good at walking on mountain roads, and can easily cross mountains and rivers. It is the main force of pack transport in local mountainous areas.

Although this kind of pony has many advantages, it is very afraid of wolves.

Therefore, the packhorse must be equipped with a bell. When the wolf hears the sound of the bell from a distance, it will know that someone is following it, and in most cases it will not come.

Wolves are cautious by nature and will not risk attacking people or invading villages unless they cannot find food in the middle of winter and are extremely hungry.

It was almost ten o'clock in the morning, and the crowds in the town were getting denser and denser. At first glance, they were full of people, bustling and bustling, and even the bridge in the distance could not be seen.

After Wang Qingzhong had picked out the bells, Chen Ling thought about it and chose two. When preparing to celebrate the New Year, he would hang them on the little white cow to add some joy.

After buying the bell, the three of them hurried back to the medicine shop.

It happened that Wang Susu and the others had just sold the medicinal materials and were picking up cloth next to the cloth stall not far from the medicinal materials shop.

After they selected the fabric, the woman running the stall used a wooden ruler to measure the size, cut a slit in the measured position, pulled hard, and with a "sting" sound, the entire piece of cloth was pulled off neatly.

There were two kinds of floral cloth, two kinds of blue cloth, and two kinds of black cloth. There were five or six pieces torn from the front and back.

"Mom, do you want to buy some cloth to make cotton-padded clothes?"

When Chen Ling and the others walked up to them, Wang Qingzhong walked over and asked.

"Well, I made enough money from selling the medicinal materials to make two new cotton-padded clothes for the dolls."

Gao Xiulan smiled.

"Oh, this year you can just do it for Zhenzhen and Tongtong. I don't need the stuff in my family..."

Wang Qingzhong chuckled: "Two days ago, his grandma said she was doing it for him. You should take it easy this year."

"Then if you hadn't told me earlier, I would have bought all the cloth."

Gao Xiulan complained a little.

Babies grow up quickly, so when making cotton-padded clothes, they are often made as large as possible so that they can last for two or three winters.

When the clothes grow taller and cannot be worn anymore, they will be removed and the cotton-padded clothes will be reattached so that they can be worn again.

So I had to pull out more fabric, and if I was making clothes for a little baby, the quality of the fabric wouldn't be too bad, and with the addition of cotton, it was a big expense.

"Ah? Didn't Xinping tell you?"

Wang Qingzhong was stunned for a moment and looked around, but could not find his wife.

Not only Guo Xinping was not there, but Wang Zhenzhen and the other three were also not there. After careful inspection, Chen Ling's cow was not around either.

"They were going to school to feed the cows. My second sister-in-law was afraid that they would run around, so she went with them."

Wang Susu explained from the sidelines.

"Ah? That's it..."

Wang Qingzhong scratched his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, Mom, the extra fabric will be made for Dongdong next year. My Dongdong doesn't dislike old materials."

"You should keep the new fabric for Tongtong to make. The old fabric was used for my sister-in-law the year before last. You can't let Tongtong wear the old ones all the time."

"Okay, can I not know?"

Gao Xiulan glared at her second son angrily: "Do you still need to say this?"

Chen Ling looked on and couldn't help but smile: "The eldest brother and the second brother have a really good relationship."

"Haha, they two, when they are good, they are like a good person, but when they are at odds, neither of them pays attention to the other for most of the year."

"How old is he? He looks like a doll."

At this time, Wang Cunye curled his lips and said behind him.

"Huh? Dad, have you picked a puppy?"

Wang Susu's eyes lit up, she quickly walked over, took the little yellow dog into her hands and teased it for a while.

She has always liked dogs.

Gao Xiulan also came over when she saw this: "Isn't this similar to the big yellow dog we used to have?"

"It's almost the same, this is tiger head yellow."

Wang Cunye said unhappy.

"What's wrong with the tiger-headed yellow? Isn't the tiger-headed yellow still a dog? A dog still has to rush to the market to buy it, and you have a high-end..."

Gao Xiulan retorted.

In the past two days, Chen Ling has become accustomed to the quarrels between her father-in-law and mother-in-law from time to time.

When Wang Susu finally had enough playing with the little yellow dog, she took her to a nearby stall to pick out a headscarf.

Wang Susu has cut her hair short now, and she wore a pink and white hairband when she went out today. She looks young and pretty. If anyone didn't know better, she would look like an unmarried girl.

"You don't suit this red scarf, it's too flashy."

Seeing Wang Susu walking to the stall and heading straight for the big red scarf, Chen Ling reminded helplessly.

Wang Susu lives up to her name, and she is suitable to match with some plain-colored clothes.

With her fair complexion, bright red will make her look old-fashioned.

"And you said that, except for the year we got married, I have never worn a red headscarf."

Wang Susu complained, took off the red scarf, put it on her head, tied it gently, turned around and asked: "How is it? Is it really not good-looking?"

Chen Ling immediately smiled and stretched out his hand to straighten her hair.

"It looks good. My wife looks good no matter what. If you like it, we will buy it."

I have to say that good-looking people are indeed ugly no matter how they match them.

Just like Wang Susu, although the red headscarf is not as flattering as the light-colored headscarf, it does not look ugly. The beautiful forehead-length bangs, rosy cheeks, and big, watery eyes, how can it be ugly?

"She just looks like a new wife, haha..."

Chen Ling looked left and right, and after sizing it up for a while, he suddenly said something.

"screw you."

Wang Susu glared at him shyly, then turned around and asked about the price.

Chen Ling also walked to the stall and took a look: "Let's buy another red scarf and a red hat..."

In fact, the bright red knitted cotton hat and scarf would look better on Wang Susu, at least better than the scarf, and would not look old-fashioned.

"It's enough for me to have a headscarf, and I'll let you choose the rest..."

The little daughter-in-law was already satisfied with just buying a red scarf, and she smiled and said to him.

"Why don't you choose something for me? Just buy a pair of scarves and hats. We can wear them together."

Chen Ling smiled.

"That's okay too."

Wang Susu raised her head and looked at him, her eyebrows curved.

"You two, take your time shopping first. Let's go to the school to look for Zhenzhen. This crazy girl doesn't know what she is doing. She won't come back for a long time. Let's go over and have a look..."

Gao Xiulan said to them, walked forward for a while, then turned around and reminded: "It's the elementary school in Zhendong, not your brother's. If you don't want to go shopping, come and find us. It's very close."

"I know, mother."

After Gao Xiulan and the others left, Chen Ling took his wife to the stalls of two Miao women to pick out jewelry.

I bought a silver necklace and a pair of silver earrings.
