262 As Expected
After Xue Dabao and Xue Xiaobao left, Xue Yan put the small bag of candied plums in the central room and then walked out with Jiang Yue to herd the cow.
In the cow shed, not only was their cow there, but Tian’s cow was also there.
Tian’s family had a wedding today, so they were busy and didn’t have time to herd the cow. They had already thrown a lot of dry grass into the cow shed and poured water into the cow trough so that the cow wouldn’t be hungry or thirsty.
However, dried grass was never as good as fresh ones.
“Wait for me here.” Xue Yan let go of Jiang Yue’s hand and entered the cow shed. He bent down and untied the rope.
Their cow shed also had a trough for the cow to drink water. The cow was quite docile. It was lying on the ground, but when Xue Yan untied the rope and pulled it gently, it stood up.
That strong cow’s body was naturally much bigger than Xue Yan’s.
Xue Yan was a big kid standing in front of Jiang Yue, but he looked even smaller beside the cow.
When Xue Yan led the cow out of the cow shed and came to Jiang Yue’s side, she looked even tinier.
“Where should we put it?” Jiang Yue asked.
This was Xue Yan’s first time herding a cow. To be honest, he was a little inexperienced. He looked around and said, “Let’s find a place with a lot of grass.”
Jiang Yue was glad that there were no chemical pesticides there. Otherwise, the cow might not even live to see the next day.
“The grass on both sides of the dam is deep, we can go there. Can you pull it all the way there?” Jiang Yue asked as she looked at the nearby fields and decided on that place.
Jiang Yue had really asked casually without any other meaning. She was quietly gauging his strength.
However, when Xue Yan heard this, he thought that she was teasing him. He had already gotten used to it and accepted it, but he would still feel awkward when she said such a thing.
He even looked up at the sky in denial. He didn’t think he would be able to get past this in this lifetime.
“I can pull it now, but I don’t know what will happen later,” he said honestly.
He was also afraid that the cow would eat the rice of the people in the paddy fields on both sides of the dam. That would be like snatching the food from the cow’s mouth. With his strength, he might not be able to pull it away.
Jiang Yue didn’t know that he was embarrassed, so she said, ” “It’s fine. Let’s go to the fields. I’ll pull the cow when the time comes.”
“Okay,” Xue Yan was even more embarrassed.
He was the one who was herding the cow, but if anything happened, Jiang Yue would take over…
Interesting…
Xue Yan looked away, feeling a little uncomfortable.
In the middle of the mountain and village, there were many paddy fields. Between the paddy fields, there were many dams. People usually walked through the middle of the dam for fear of falling down. They rarely walked on the two sides of the dam. The two sides of the dam were naturally full of lush and green grass.
Xue Yan let Jiang Yue walk in front, then he led his cow to the field.
At first, the cow was eating the grass obediently, but the rice in the paddy fields on both sides of the dam looked tastier and taller than the grass here. The cow’s mouth couldn’t help but move toward the rice as time passed on.
Xue Yan immediately became nervous and pulled the cow away. As expected, the cow did not budge much.
Xue Yan’s body tensed up. He knew it.
Jiang Yue didn’t even look at Xue Yan, and didn’t care if Xue Yan could pull the rope or not. When she saw the cow’s mouth moving toward the rice, she subconsciously reached out her small hand and held the rope to help him pull the cow back.
She immediately pulled the cow’s mouth back to the grass and the cow continued eating.
This time, Xue Yan’s ears turned red.
Because Xue Yan was looking at the cow with his back to Jiang Yue, Jiang Yue couldn’t see Xue Yan’s expression, but when Xue Yan’s ears turned red, Jiang Yue saw it.
“What’s wrong with you?” Jiang Yue asked.
