Chapter 260 Stubborn Donkey
The donkey is still wild. The more you whip it, the more it won't move. It is not easy to control. Although it works hard, it is still stubborn and stupid. People call this kind of character "stubborn"!
But the stubborn donkey has a characteristic: if you stroke its fur in the same direction, it is called a smooth donkey!
As for how to do it, it depends on your own means.
Gu Qingqing walked lightly on the way home, and the slightly raised corners of her mouth showed that she was in a good mood.
Beside her followed a little black donkey, which also held its head high and walked with the clattering of its hooves, appearing to be walking happily.
Wen Wuyan followed behind them carrying a bamboo basket, looking at the people and the donkey who seemed to have some inexplicable similarity. Just as he was about to say something, he chuckled and shook his head, dismissing his unrealistic speculation. How could a donkey have the same spirit as him?
After a while, he chuckled and asked, "Qingqing, when did you put a handful of sorghum rice in the bamboo basket? I didn't even know about it."
Gu Qingqing turned her head and smiled at him happily, "I just pretended it when I went out, thinking that it might be useful. Look, it came in handy now."
Gu Qingqing said as she grabbed a very small handful of sorghum and spread it in her palm, then stretched her hand in front of the donkey's lips, "Eat it, eat it. You are already my donkey. As long as you follow me, I will ensure that there is enough green grass. I will prepare a special meal for you every now and then, and you can choose any sorghum or bran you want. I guarantee that you will live a life like a god."
Gu Qingqing coaxed the stubborn donkey in the tone of coaxing a child.
The little donkey believed her lies and actually bent down and used his lips to scrape away the few sorghums on her palm.
He really thinks he is here to enjoy himself.
The obedient appearance made Gu Qingqing praise it again as if her mouth was filled with honey, "Oh, Xiao Qiliang, you are really my little darling."
A donkey needs to be stroked by its coat. How do you do that?
See, she has a knack for sweet talk.
When she was in the town, after she got all the information about the donkey from Zhao Dong, she stood there and began to observe.
She just wanted to know how stubborn a donkey could be.
Just at this moment, she saw someone else coming over to ask the boss about the donkey. The boss who bought the donkey said something enthusiastically, and from time to time he patted the donkey's neck and turned over its ears.
It looked just like an old brothel owner bragging about how good her daughter's figure was and how pretty she looked, and that she would definitely be a good worker in the fields in the future.
As a result, this guy was determined not to be a welcoming donkey. He didn't say a word, didn't shake his head, and didn't refuse. His limbs seemed to be grown on the ground and he insisted on being a block of wood. He would let you beat him, scold him, and smile and flatter him, but his face really looked like a donkey's.
Gu Qingqing didn’t know whether its face was black or not, because its face was covered with black hair.
Oh! That’s not entirely true. There’s a little white on its mouth and nose. From a distance it looks like it’s wearing a white mask!
There was a constant stream of people in the market, and quite a few of them came to see it. Someone also took a fancy to it and pulled its reins to make it roll over. It once again expressed its desire with its actions: "Let me roll over? I'll stand up!"
The owner slapped it twice on the butt, but it didn't help.
Gu Qingqing concluded that he was a bit stubborn.
However, she likes it.
While Zhao Dong and Wen Wuyan were talking to the boss, she quietly fed a handful of sorghum to the donkey, mumbling something to it, and successfully made the donkey move, and just like that the stubborn donkey was seduced away.
The boss asked for eight taels of silver. The three of them took turns attacking the donkey. The donkey was too small and had to be fed for at least the autumn before it could slowly adapt to the work. During this time, it had to eat a lot of wheat bran.
"Boss, you are a stubborn donkey. We just saw you and you have a bad temper! It will be difficult for you to work if you go back home as a stubborn donkey!" Gu Qingqing sharpened the knife to bargain.
"It's your price, it's yours. It saves me the trouble." The boss knows his own donkey well, and it's no wonder that he has to endure the donkey's stubborn temper a lot.
I can't bear to damage it, but if it is damaged, I won't be able to sell it at a high price.
They must be fed with enough food, otherwise they will look skinny and cannot be sold at a high price!
She paid the money and went to the town government office to go through the formalities, and it became her donkey.
I also bought a saddle to put on the donkey when pulling the cart.
At this moment, the donkey called Qiliang by Gu Qingqing snorted at her, as if responding to this seemingly good master.
Zhao Dong watched the man and the donkey chatting intimately, and he suppressed his smile and put his hand on Wen Wuyan's shoulder, then he leaned over and said, "Wuyan, I'm telling you, but I've never heard her say such nice things to you."
Wen sighed without words. Who said it wasn’t true?
Wen Wuyan didn't need to answer. Zhao Dong couldn't help but laugh when he saw his envious expression.
His laughter made the two little goats in the bamboo basket behind Wen Wuyan stretch their necks and bleat along with him.
"Hahaha, are you hungry? Wait, I'll go find you something to eat."
That’s right, Gu Qingqing not only bought a donkey today, but also bought two goat cakes, one male and one female, when she saw them being sold in the market.
Gu Qingqing was eager to go home, so she walked faster with the donkey. Wen Wuyan, who was carrying a bamboo basket, and Zhao Dong were left far behind.
As a result, when she was almost at the entrance of the village, she saw Wen Dacheng and Sanlang from the other end of the road, also walking towards the village.
Gu Qingqing looked at the distance and slowed down her pace appropriately, because she didn't want to meet the other party.
How should I put it? It’s not hatred.
Gu Qingqing also knew some of the ins and outs of the matter, but she could not hate the old man who had taken care of her.
I just feel embarrassed.
In the end, I didn't know whether the other party did it on purpose or had the same intention as me, so I slowed down my pace and bumped into him at the intersection outside the village as expected.
Gu Qingqing saw the other party's smile and was thinking about how to address him, but it was Wen Dacheng who spoke first with a smile. He pointed at the donkey beside her and said, "You bought a donkey at home!"
"Yeah!" Gu Qingqing nodded.
"Yes, it's good. Isn't it cheap to buy it now?"
"It's okay."
"It's very good, but the little donkey looks still young. Take care of it for a while when you go back, and let it slowly adapt while you work. It's still growing, so don't let it get tired." Wen Dacheng looked at the little donkey and said something to her.
Gu Qingqing automatically ignored the hostility in Sanlang's eyes and replied calmly, "Yeah, I heard the people in the town say the same thing."
"Very good, very good." After saying this, Wen Dacheng carried the bamboo basket on his back and walked towards the village with Sanlang in his hand.
Gu Qingqing turned around and looked at this secretly. Before she could sigh, she heard Sanlang's impatient tone asking, "Grandpa, why are you talking to her so much? The donkeys are not ours. It would be better if they were exhausted to death, so that they would have nothing. Ah, ah, it hurts! Grandpa, grandpa, please let go of my ears."
"Who taught you to have such evil thoughts? That's a life, an animal that I bought with a lot of money, how can you not care about it?" After Wen Dacheng said this, he let go of Sanlang's ear.
