Chapter 24 Brumaire Bullpen (1)

Baozhui listened to the sound of the cow chewing the cud in the dark night.The sound of grass and saliva brought him back to recurring memories.He always felt that something important was wrapped in this voice, but the memory was as impenetrable as an abyss, and he always returned it in vain. The stepfather was probably dying, so he came to Niu House to talk with Baozhu almost every day during this period.Sometimes he would stroke Baozhui's head without saying a word, and cloudy tears would flow from his eyes.Baozhui said, "Uncle, are you hungry?" Because he was so hungry that he wanted to cry.

The stepfather shook his head, his blue and yellow cheeks twitched, he held Bao Zhui's hand tremblingly and said: "When uncle is dead, you can go back to sleep in the house." "I am happy to be with the cow." Baozhui giggled, "Hua'er is about to give birth to a calf." Hua'er was a brown and white flower cow with a white spot like an orchid on the left side of her cheek, which made her look prettier than both the flat face and the ground.Dier is a three-year-old black bull, who is the main laborer of the family's plowing; and the flat-faced, short, dark brown bull is an older bull, and because of his thick tail, he always gets dirty when he poops. Tail.Baozhui complained about it, and when he added food to the trough at night, he patted his flat stomach, "Don't be greedy, you have to eat from time to time."

This is what his mother often said to him, and now he passed it on to Flat Face.Flat Face doesn't care about this, it eats surprisingly well, and the hygiene behind it naturally goes from bad to worse.Baozhu once tried to tie its tail with a rope and hang it high on the cattle pen, but he just tried to tie the rope to the cow's tail, and then Flat Face pulled a plate of shit and rolled it up with his tail. On Baozhui's face, Baozhui was so angry that he wanted to cut off its tail. "Cut off your tail and feed it to the wolves!" Baozhu threatened, but untied the rope from Flat Face's tail.

The stepfather has not come to the cow house for several days.Every time Xueer came to deliver food to him, Baozhui would ask, "Is my uncle dead?" Xue'er gritted her white teeth and said bitterly, "You're the one to die!" Xue'er is Bao Chuan's half-sister.She is thin and thin, she doesn't like to eat meaty food, her eyes are black and big, and she is a bit stubborn.Mother often said that Cher's stomach was full of roundworms. The sound of the cow chewing the cud died down, and Baozhui smacked his mouth and closed his eyes.Not long after he fell asleep, a bright light stung his eyes, and a strong smell of sweat hit him. His mother yelled hoarsely, "Bao Chui, wake up, get up and look at your uncle. He's about to let go. , I want to take a look at you."

"Don't let it hurt my eyes." Bao Zhui muttered, pointing to the flashlight that was aimed at him. Mother hastily turned the light away, and it was shining on the cowshed in the middle.The three plum blossoms tied to the cow are blossoming quietly, but there is no fragrance. Baozhui sat up. "Hurry up, your uncle won't be waiting for long." The mother said with a crying voice, "Although he is your stepfather, he treats you so well! As soon as you live in the cow house, he will take care of it very well. The house where people live is still warm, and he still brings you meals every day, Baozhu—”

"I won't go back to the house where people live." Bao Chuanfu lay down again, "I want to sleep with the cow." "Just this one time." The mother begged and leaned over and stroked her son's forehead, "Mom will bake you scallion pancakes tomorrow." "Will you roll potato shreds?" Baozhui's stomach jumped with excitement. Mother nodded.
