Chapter 73: Xiao Xiaohui, the Cow Herder

They finished breakfast around 7.30 am. Xiao Xiaohui should still be at the house. Xiao Xiaohui was 13 years old. When he was seven, Xiao Lingyu's fourth uncle tried to send him to school. Xiaohui was extremely resistant and refused to go. He cried his heart out.

Grandma Xiao pitied the kid. She hugged her third grandson and chided Fourth Uncle, "The child is still young. If he doesn't want to go, then delay it for one year. It won't affect anything." Xiao Xiaohui had his grandmother's support, and he managed to escape school for two years.

"Xiao Xiaohui!" Xiao Lingyu shouted before she entered the courtyard.

Xiao Xiaohui ran out and shouted happily when he saw Xiao Lingyu, "Eldest cousin!" Xiao Xiaohui snatched the plate Xiao Lingyu was holding. He stuffed the pancake into his mouth. "Elas cousin beat me the west." Eldest cousin treats me the best. His words were unclear due to his stuffed mouth.

Xiao Lingyu patted his head and said, "Come on, you need to bring some to your parents. I'll go feed the cows. Also, I have something to discuss with your parents later."

"Okay." Xiao Xiaohui nodded.

Then, he carried a plate of egg pancakes into his house.

Xiao Lingyu moved to her fourth uncle's cow pens. Once the calf saw Xiao Lingyu, he was excited and poked his head out. Xiao Lingyu touched his head and smiled, "You are really intelligent. Come drink this!" Xiao Lingyu looked around, and then spring water flowed into the water bucket.

The calf was immediately attracted by it. He hesitated before running back to his mother. He mooed, and his mother mooed back.

Unable to withstand the calf's mooing, the mother cow shuffled over and lowered her head to drink. The calf spun around his mother happily.

When the mother cow was done, the calf stuck his head into the bucket to drink the water.

Xiao Lingyu was impressed and charmed by the intelligent calf. She touched his head, "You'll have to stay at Fourth Uncle's place for another two days. When mom and dad finish our cow pen, I'll fetch you home." The calf mooed as if agreeing.

Xiao Lingyu turned to her fourth uncle's house. When she saw her fourth uncle's family of three fight over the pancakes, she was quite speechless. 'Are the pancakes that delicious that they made fourth uncle and fourth aunt fight over it with their kid?'

Xiao Lingyu had no idea this was the best food her fourth uncle's family ever had.

So naturally, they couldn't have Xiao Xiaohui eat everything. Liu Chunhua grabbed a piece of pancake and asked Xiao Lingyu, "Lingyu, your pancakes are delicious. I've never eaten something so delicious. When Xiaohui told me about it yesterday, I couldn't believe it. But now I know it's true." She took another big bite and chewed. "Who made them?"

Xiao Lingyu said, "I did!"

As soon as Xiao Lingyu said that, Xiao Xiaohui looked up. "No wonder it's not as delicious as yesterday! Eldest cousin's cooking is not as good as second aunt."

Xiao Lingyu, "..." She was offended, but she had to admit the pancakes were more delicious yesterday. Yesterday's pancakes had more spring water. Today, she only used a bit.

"You brat, what are you talking about?" Xiao Mingyang smacked Xiao Xiaohui on the back of his head. "You should be thankful!"

"But I'm only telling the truth!" Xiao Xiaohui grumbled at his father.

"Then, you shouldn't eat them. Your dad will finish everything." Xiao Mingyang then snatched the pancakes from his son.

Xiao Lingyu, "..."
