"There's no rush to buy a carriage or rice. When we didn't have refined rice at home, we even ate bran. What's wrong with eating millet? Let's talk about it when you have some free time."

"Mom, when the cow is delivered soon, we will have milk at home. I must try to make milk tea. We don't have any tea leaves at home, so I will buy some tea leaves this afternoon." Shen Wanning shook Aunt Zhang's arm and begged.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, okay? Stop shaking your head, you're almost making me dizzy, ah!" Aunt Zhang patted Shen Wanning's hand helplessly, but her tone was full of pampering.

She glanced at Wen's belly again. It would be wonderful if it was a granddaughter. Lin Dashan's parents had only one child, and she and Lin Dashan had several sons, but no daughters. Now that they had three grandsons, they longed for a soft and tender granddaughter.

Afraid that the visitors wouldn't know where her house was, Shen Wanning sat and waited under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village. It wasn't until almost lunchtime that the waiter from Zui Xiang Lou came over, leading a dairy cow.

"Here, here!" Shen Wanning stood up and waved.

"Oh, daughter of the old Lin family, this is the dairy cow you were talking about! It looks really different from the cow in our village head's house."

When they saw Shen Wanning squatting here, many women came over to chat with her.

There is nothing to do in the fields nowadays. Apart from cooking and washing clothes every day and pouring wastewater into the vegetable fields, these women basically have nothing else to do.

As for the men, they had earned a good amount of money from building the house for Shen Wanning's family. Now that the family had enough money to get through the year, everyone was much more relaxed about their work than before.

"Yes, Aunt Niu, this cow is specifically designed to produce milk. It can produce milk for ten months a year!" Shen Wanning responded with a smile.

"Can this dairy cow go to the fields to plow the land? Can it pull a cart like the cow in the headman's house?" Mrs. Xu asked curiously.

The corners of Shen Wanning's mouth twitched a few times. "Should... should be able to! But we bought this cow specifically for milk production, not for pulling a cart."

If this cow walked on the street, many people would look at her! She didn't want to be the focus of the crowd.

"Tsk tsk, what a pity! This cow can only produce milk, and no one drinks this milk! It would be better to buy a cow like the one from the headman's house!" Shi Zhenxiang slung her basket over her shoulder and looked at the cow with disdain.

"Well, I'll go pick them up first. You guys can talk slowly, slowly." After saying that, Shen Wanning quickly fled the scene.

The waiter came over with the cow, sweating profusely. "Miss Shen, your Daqing Village is really far away! I hired a horse-drawn carriage and brought the cow here slowly. Then we had to walk to Guangming Town again. It was really tiring!"

"Thank you for your hard work, young man. It must have cost a lot of money to rent a car! Here, this is two hundred coins, the travel fee we agreed on before." Shen Wanning took out two hundred coins from his sleeve and handed them to the waiter.

"That won't do. We agreed on one hundred coins. How can I charge you two hundred coins? Also, Miss Shen, just call me Xiaoshu. Don't call me brother. It sounds weird." The waiter scratched his head with a silly smile.

"You spent a lot of money to hire a car to come here. This money should be paid by me. How can I let you pay for it yourself? Just take it!" Shen Wanning continued to hand the money to him.

"No, no, my cousin said that people should keep their word. The agreed one hundred coins is one hundred coins, and I don't want any more." The little tree stood there, refusing to accept it.

Shen Wanning had no choice but to count out half of it and put it into Xiaoshu's purse.

"Thank you, Miss Shen. Where is Miss Shen's home? I will take it there." Xiaoshu smiled happily.

"Come with me. By the way, do you know how to milk cows? No one in my family has ever done this before, so they don't know how to milk cows." Shen Wanning asked as she led the way.

Mrs. Xu squeezed forward and said, "Wan Ning, can we go see this cow too? No one in our village has ever seen one. It's quite rare!"

"Don't you... need to go home and cook?" Shen Wanning looked at these gossiping women and felt surprised.

"Oh, my daughter-in-law is still here, so it's not my turn to cook."

"Yes, my sister-in-law is cooking at home. She is the new daughter-in-law, so of course she will cook the meal."

"My three granddaughters can already cook, so I just have to wait and eat."

Hearing what they said, Shen Wanning nodded, "Okay, then you can come and see it."

Shen Wanning took Xiaoshu to the backyard. A wooden stake had been built next to the chicken coop, and the cow was tied there.

When the other cows arrive, they plan to build a new cowshed on the open space to raise cattle specifically.

"Here it comes. The bucket is here. I washed it and dried it in the sun." Xu said as she walked with the bucket. The other people in the family came along, even Wen came with her big belly.

"Second sister-in-law, please stand away from the cow, otherwise the cow will suddenly go crazy and accidentally lift you up." Shen Wanning helped Wen walk a little outside.

"Is there a stool? Can you help me get a small stool?" Xiaoshu turned his head and asked.

Lin Jingce silently took out the small stool he used to sit on when chopping firewood from behind him and handed it to Xiaoshu.

"Miss Shen, watch carefully. Just like me, use both hands to cover two of the cow's four nipples, then use your thumb and index finger to gently pinch the nipples and squeeze the base of the nipples."

When Xiaoshu said the first two words of "Ru", he felt a little embarrassed and his face turned redder than a monkey's bottom, but in order to teach them, he had to bite the bullet and continue.

"All the sisters-in-law and aunts present here can also take a look. If anyone learns it, they can help with milking in the future. I will give her forty cents a day."

Shen Wanning thought, she couldn't be the only one milking cows in the future! Since there were so many people around, if anyone learned how to do it, they could hire them as milkers.

As soon as she said this, the women present stared at Xiaoshu's movements, afraid that they would miss any step.

Xiaoshu used his hands to squeeze the cow's nipples, and the two nipples secreted milk juice alternately. Gradually, the bucket was filled up by a small half.

After the demonstration, Xiaoshu looked at the women behind him and asked, "Is there anyone who would like to try it?"

Mrs. Xu stuffed the basket into Shi Zhenxiang's hands and said, "Hey, let me do it. I've never milked a cow, but I did when my daughter-in-law's breasts were engorged."

"Okay, you try it. But be careful. If you hurt the cow, it might get angry and hurt you. So be careful."

After giving the instructions, Xiaoshu stood next to Mrs. Xu and guided her to milk the cow slowly.

The cow was restless, pacing for a moment, then pacing back and forth on its hind legs. Mrs. Xu swallowed and slowed down her movements.
