I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

The huge pot of delicious food was devoured amid the laughter and joy of the crowd, not even a drop of soup was left. Xu Congyi looked at the clean bottom of the pot and felt quite accomplished. After the meal, the waiters stayed behind spontaneously, some washing dishes and pots, some wiping tables and chairs, busy and orderly.

Xu Congyi broke up with Tang Wenhao, and was worried about another matter. Tang Wenhao also wanted to go home and ask his mother about Chen Yuanyuan, and Shen Xiao naturally left with Xu Congyi.

Xu Congyi came to the city today, and he actually wanted to buy a cow for his family. As he walked, Xu Congyi said to Shen Xiao, with a gleam of anticipation in his eyes, "The weather is getting warmer, and it won't be long before it's the time for spring ploughing. Last year, my family not only bought a large piece of wasteland, but also two pieces of inferior fields with good soil. It's too hard to manage all these fields in an orderly manner relying on manpower alone. I thought, if I could have a strong cow to help, it would save a lot of trouble."

Shen Xiao nodded in agreement, "You have thought it through. With the help of a cow, not only can your burden be greatly reduced, but also the efficiency of farming can be improved. Let's go to the market and choose carefully. We will definitely find a good cow that suits your family."

The two crossed the street and walked towards the market. The vendors along the way were shouting one after another, making it very lively. Xu Congyi and Shen Xiao shuttled through the crowd, stopping from time to time. Xu Congyi was attracted by the novelties on a stall from time to time.

Soon, they arrived at the market area dedicated to selling livestock. There was a unique smell of grass and animals here. Various livestock were standing or lying, some chewing grass leisurely, and some curiously looking at every visitor. Xu Congyi and Shen Xiao were immediately attracted by a group of strong cattle, some of them had shiny fur, some had clear muscle lines, and each of them looked energetic.

Although it was Xu Congyi who brought up the idea of ​​buying a cow, she didn't know what kind of cow was good, so the task of selecting the cow was left to Shen Xiao.

Shen Xiao's eyes wandered among the cattle, and every time his eyes stopped, it was as if he was conducting a detailed scan. He first observed the body shape of the cattle, looking for those with strong skeletons, well-developed muscles, and well-proportioned bodies. Such cattle not only have strong endurance, but also high work efficiency, and are good helpers for farming.

"Brother Shen Xiao, what do you think of this cow?" Xu Congyi had already walked around to the side of the herd and saw a cow that caught her eye, but she didn't know what the cow looked like, so she had to seek Shen Xiao's help.

Shen Xiao walked over to see the cow that Xu Congyi had chosen, and the cow vendor also came over. "My lady, you have a good eye! This cow is the best one I have. Look, its fur is so pure and shiny, and it's obviously fed with top-quality food. Feel its muscles, they're tight and strong! And look at its hooves, which are thick and well-proportioned. It walks very steadily, and can pull carts and plow the fields without any problem. What's more, it has a gentle personality, is easy to train, and is close to its owner. It's definitely the best of the best."

Hearing the cattle dealer calling him "madam", Xu Congyi couldn't help but laughed with his hands covering his mouth. Shen Xiao's face also turned slightly red. When he was about to explain, Xu Congyi pulled his sleeve. Xu Congyi whispered that it was okay, and his eyes were curved with laughter.

Shen Xiao's face turned even redder. He didn't say anything immediately and went into the cowshed to see the cows.

Shen Xiao looked at it carefully. The cow's breathing was steady and powerful, its eyes were bright and energetic, its forequarters were high, its shoulder blades were long and wide, and its muscles were thick. Its hindquarters were lower than its forequarters, its hip muscles were plump, and its ischial arch was wide. Its chest was deep and wide, its ribs were long, large, and arched, its abdomen was plump, wide, and compact, its waist was broad and flat, its muscles were plump, and its back was straight.

Then he patted the cow's back gently. Instead of dodging, the cow wagged its tail meekly, as if expressing its friendliness in its own way.

"Yeah, it's really good." Shen Xiao nodded and said to Xu Congyi, "This cow is really a good worker."

As he spoke, Shen Xiao squatted down again, gently opened the cow's lips, and carefully examined its teeth. The cow's teeth were moderately worn, with no premature wear or obvious signs of disease, indicating that it was at its best working age.

"The age is suitable, and the teeth are in good condition." Shen Xiao stood up and said to the vendor, "As for the price, you have to give us a fair price. We are all knowledgeable people."

After seeing what Shen Xiao did just now, the vendor knew that he had met an expert, so he did not dare to ask for an exorbitant price and quoted a relatively reasonable price. Shen Xiao and Xu Congyi discussed it and felt that it was acceptable, so they readily reached a deal.

"make a deal!"

Shen Xiao shook hands with the merchant and Xu Congyi paid him the money. It had been agreed before that this was the Xu family buying a cow, and Xu Congyi must pay the money.

After receiving the money, the vendor happily praised the couple, saying that they had a great relationship and that the wife was in charge of the money at home. Shen Xiao's face finally returned to normal, but then it turned red again.

"Let's give it a name?" Xu Congyi suggested excitedly as they walked along the road.

Shen Xiao thought for a moment, looking at this docile and powerful cow. It will become a member of the Xu family. "Let's call it 'Litian'. I hope it can be a good helper in plowing the fields."

"Litian, what a nice name!" Xu Congyi repeated.

Afterwards, Shen Xiao and Xu Congyi worked together to put the reins on Li Tian and prepared to take him home. The two found a deserted place, and Xu Congyi wanted to try to bring the cow directly into the space. After all, pulling the cow back was a physical job, and she didn't dare to ride the cow home by herself.

After trying it, it actually worked. That was much more convenient. It happened that he had been in the city for a long time. After saying goodbye to Shen Xiao, Xu Congyi prepared to go back. Even though Shen Xiao had entered Xu Congyi's space countless times, in broad daylight, watching Xu Congyi disappear, appear, and disappear in front of him, Shen Xiao still felt a sense of unreality as if he was daydreaming.
