After the dumplings were cooked, Lao Wu got a big bowl for everyone.
This bowl is very big, almost as big as Xiaojie's head.
Everyone is holding a big bowl, squatting or sitting, lowering their heads and eating dumplings in a muffled voice.
Yu Xiangnian looked at Cheng Shuansuo and his wife devouring their food with contempt.
It’s like I haven’t had another meal after eating it!
After lunch, Yu Xiangnian went back to his room to continue working, and Cheng Jingmo also went back to his room to read the radio book.
I've been home for so long that I only have time to study today.
The two of them were doing their own thing, without anyone disturbing the other.
At almost two o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Xiangnian finished today's work arrangements.
Just when he was thinking about whether he wanted to see hoof trimming since Cheng Jingmo was at home today, Cheng Jingmo put down the book in his hand and said, "Let's go see hoof trimming together."
Yu Xiangnian's almond-shaped eyes widened slightly in surprise, "You also like to see hoof trimming?"
She thought that Cheng Jingmo must be tired of seeing it since he had grown up here.
Cheng Jingmo said: "It's okay."
He had watched it many times when he was a child, but every time he would only watch it for a few minutes before getting busy with work.
Like Yu Xiangnian, who has been watching for most of the day and has never seen it before.
Yu Xiangnian stood up impatiently, "Let's go, let me call Xiaojie."
On the way, Yu Xiangnian proudly told Cheng Jingmo, "Two days ago, a cow's foot pricked a stone, and it was covered with the medicine I bought!"
Cheng Jingmo's lips curled up slightly, "Really? You can also heal animals."
Yu Xiangnian looked proud, "This kind of small injury is simple!"
When this matter was mentioned, Xiaojie raised his eyebrows.
That day, when his aunt saw the cow's hoof injured, she was more excited than when she saw the beef boiling in the pot, and her eyes lit up!
She stared at the hole in the cow's hoof and insisted that the master dig the hole.
Although it was said that after the hole was dug, there was indeed a lot of blood inside, but the cow also moaned in pain.
When this was not enough, she forced the master to dig a bigger hole, exposing the bright red flesh inside.
At that time, Xiaojie's whole little face twisted up.
Finally, she took out the medicine she had prepared for several days and asked the master to apply it on the cow's hooves.
The master refused, fearing that she would damage the cow's hoof.
Yu Xiangnian had to do it by himself. The master was so annoyed by her that he tried to apply medicine to the cow's hooves with her repeated assurances.
This was not over yet. Yu Xiangnian asked the master to put foot pads on the cow's hoof.
The master had such a dark face that he almost drove them both away on the spot!
While talking, the three of them had arrived outside Cheng Chaomin's house.
At this time, he was not trimming his hoofs. He was sitting on the small bench where Yu Xiangnian usually sat, smoking a dry cigarette, as if waiting for something.
Seeing the three people walking in, their expressions were not good.
Instead, Yu Xiangnian happily greeted him, "Master, we're here to see you get your hoof trimmed again."
"Hmm." He snorted from his nostrils.
After he finished smoking the dry cigarette, he knocked the stick and stood up to look at Cheng Jingmo.
Cheng Jingmo nodded to him.
Uncle Chao Min walked to the tied cow and said as he walked, "Baby-picking wife, this cow is the cow you had to ask me to give medicine to the day before yesterday. If its hoof is broken, you have to be responsible!"
Neither Yu Xiangnian nor Xiaojie recognized the cow. In their eyes, the cows all looked the same.
Hearing this, both of them had the same expression.
He was stunned for a moment, then ran over with eyes shining.
The master lifted the cow's feet. The cow's feet were covered with mud and weeds. The master used a knife to scrape off the mud and expose the wounds inside.
The master didn't expect that the wound that was still bloody and bloody the day before had healed a lot, and there wasn't even a drop of blood left.
"Hey!" the master said in surprise, "My dear daughter-in-law, your medicine is quite effective!"
Yu Xiangnian replied confidently: "If you listen to me, wrap the wound with a strip of cloth and put a pad on it, the wound will heal faster!"
Master: "..." It's really not modest at all.
Yu Xiangnian added: "Clean its wound again today and change its medicine. It should be fine."
The master really did as he was told, and at the end he asked: "Baby-picking wife, what kind of foot pads are you talking about?"
Yu Xiangnian picked up a small wooden stick and drew a semicircle on the ground, "Just like this, it's half the size of its hoof. After you give them medicine, wrap the wound with a cloth strip, the good side With these pads glued to the hooves, their wounds heal quickly."
"Oh..." The master nodded repeatedly.
This daughter-in-law, Zhan Wa, is an intellectual and knows a lot. You are right to listen to her!
After the master had done all this, he brought in another cow, screwed the cow's nose to the wooden stake with a rope, and began to trim the cow's hooves.
Cheng Jingmo now understood Cheng Chaomin.
Yu Xiangnian and Xiaojie, one large and one small, sat in front of him, looking at him without blinking, with envy in their eyes.
It would make him uncomfortable if someone stared at him like that.
The master practiced for a few times, then paused and looked at Yu Xiangnian, who also looked at her in confusion.
The master said: "How about you come and give it a try?"
Yu Xiangnian showed an expression of disbelief, then jumped up from the stool, rolled up his sleeves, "Then let me try it!"
She unceremoniously took the knife from the master's hand and sharpened it, which made Cheng Jingmo laugh.
Cheng Jingmo walked over silently and stood behind her to block the cow, for fear that the cow would hurt her.
Hoof trimming may seem simple and stress-free, but actually trimming it is not simple, and it is also very labor-intensive.
Yu Xiangnian used all the hoof trimming knowledge he had learned throughout his life. Under the guidance of his master, he trimmed two hooves with great interest.
When I was repairing the third hoof, my hands were obviously weak.
Xiaojie stood up, "Aunt, I'm coming!"
Yu Xiangnian handed the hoof trimming knife to Xiaojie solemnly, "Be careful, don't cut yourself."
The master looked at Cheng Jingmo with resentful eyes.
You didn't say at first that your children also need to have their hooves trimmed!
Cheng Jingmo smiled awkwardly but politely.
He missed one!
Xiaojie admires Xiang Nian more and more, and he will do whatever Yu Xiang Nian does.
And Yu Xiangnian's way of taking care of his children is that he is too lazy to take care of them.
As long as you don't break the law and ensure safety, it doesn't matter what you do.
Not to mention trimming cow's hooves, even chewing cow's hooves, as long as Xiaojie is willing, Yu Xiangnian will not stop him.
The master breathed a long sigh of relief as he watched the mother and son finally finish trimming four cow hooves.
It’s more tiring than cultivating it on his own!
Yu Xiangnian and Xiaojie had enough time and followed Cheng Jingmo home with satisfaction.
Before leaving, he left all the medicines he bought with the master.
"Auntie, I just trimmed my hoof, and I found that trimming it wasn't as fun as it looked!" Xiaojie looked slightly disappointed.
"I think so too." Yu Xiangnian asked, "Then do you still want to practice in the future?"
Xiaojie replied: "That's it, I don't think about it for the time being."
In the evening, Yu Xiangnian took a shower and returned to the room first, while Cheng Jingmo took a shower behind.
Before she reached the door of the room, Cheng Huazi stopped her and said, "Baby-picking wife, please wait a moment. Dad has something to tell you."
