Chapter 47 A leisurely horse walk (please collect and recommend)
Having nothing to do in the afternoon, Zhang An took his big black horse out.
During this period, he has become accustomed to taking the big black horse out for exercise every day.
The big black horse has been kept in his own pigsty all winter, and the hair on his body is all lumpy. It is not as smooth as last year, and it is extremely ugly.
So when the weather warmed up later, Zhang An took it out for a walk and took the opportunity to bring it to the space to give it a full body bath.
On most of the hillside in my hometown, there are too many exposed rocks and the soil is too thin to grow crops, so no one came to open up wasteland. Over time, it became a wasteland for everyone. Where cattle herd horses.
The big black horse at home is a stallion. Since I bought it, because the family has fed it more carefully, Zhang An often feeds it space spring water. It has a long and majestic appearance.
And when working, it has shown its brave strength to the villagers.
Usually carrying four to five hundred kilograms of stuff on your body doesn’t seem to be a big problem for it.
If it were someone else’s draft horse, it would usually weigh only two to three hundred kilograms. If it weighed any more, you would hear the horse panting.
Therefore, people in and outside the village were asking about Zhang An's big black horse and planned to bring their own horse over for breeding.
But Dahei seems to despise them, and they are not worthy of each other. It makes people love and hate them at the same time.
This is not Dahei’s fault. Zhang An thinks that because the mares in the village are all smaller breeds, it is normal for Dahei to look down on them.
Normally, when arriving on the slope, Zhang An would activate the mode of separation of men and horses.
Untie the reins and let Dahei eat grass by himself, while he sat on the stone watching the scenery and thinking about life.
When Zhang An arrived on the slope today, he discovered that Mr. Huang from the village was also grazing cattle here.
Their family raised two oxen and took good care of them.
Seeing that Zhang An and his horse were separated, without even tying the reins, and letting the horse eat by itself, Mr. Huang started talking to Zhang An.
"Boy, just leave your horse like this. Don't worry about it eating other people's crops."
Mr. Huang tied the cow to a small tree with a long rope. Enough for their scalpers to operate.
"Don't be afraid, old man. If it dares to eat other people's crops, then give it to others."
Zhang An came to the back mountain for a few days, and he was all alone. It was difficult to see anyone. Come together, and immediately start chatting with Mr. Huang.
“What’s strange is that every time your horse eats on the edge of someone’s field, it will come back after eating a few mouthfuls of grass. There are also animals that don’t like to eat crops.”
Huang The old man watched for a long time, and every time the big black horse nibbled to the edge of the ground, it would come back. If it went a little further, Zhang An would yell, and it would turn around on its own.
The Zhang family’s horse is very obedient, has a good temper, is strong, and is also obedient. It’s rare to find such a horse. No wonder everyone wants to breed with him, but unfortunately no one can match it.
The old man is an old man of Grandpa Zhang An’s generation. Old people always like to reminisce about the past.
Talking to Zhang An turned into explaining some things about the past few years to Zhang An. Zhang An was also quietly listening to the old man talking about the history of Changqing Village.
After their group of old people left, few remembered them completely, including a few people from the generation of Zhang An’s father, Zhang Jianguo, who had only a partial understanding of them at most.
The old man and the young man talked happily. Sometimes Zhang An complimented a few words and made the old man happy.
The hearty laughter of the old man floated in the mountains, but at this time he was a little envious of Zhang Jianguo for having such an obedient and approachable child. Unlike his grandson, who would not obey no matter how he shouted, let alone among them This old bone was around to talk to and relieve his boredom.
Before I knew it, it was already late in the afternoon.
The old man discovered that the ground next to him was gnawed bare by his own cattle, and two cattle were lying on the ground to rest.
It’s time for the two of them to go home.
Zhang An is also very lazy now. He doesn’t want to walk on his own on the way home, so he gets on his horse and rides Dahei home.
The big black horse knew that Zhang An was riding on its back, so it walked steadily.
When we walked to the entrance of the village, the children in the village were smashing cardboard on the grain drying field and gathering around them.
Zhang An walked quietly behind Zhang Tie.
Everyone was holding a thick stack of cardboard in their hands, and it looked like they had torn up a lot of books.
"Ahem~" The sound frightened several of the dolls.
"Hey, Brother An, you fooled me a lot. I thought it was my mother who came." "Black" means scared in the local dialect.
Seeing that it was Zhang An, the doll that had just stuffed the cardboard into his pocket took it out again and continued to smash it.
"You guys had a lot of fun. These cardboards looked new. You tore up the homework and folded it, right? When your mother finds out, you are going to eat fried pork with bamboo shoots."
Zhang An also played this trick when he was a child. Each homework book had more than 20 pages. He would like to smash the cardboard but not dare to tear the book.
Just quietly tear out two pages from each homework book and fold them into cardboard.
Some children are so good at playing that they can win a lot with just a few cardboards, making the friends next to them jealous.
"I just tore two. These are all earned. Don't sue my mother."
A group of little guys were having a great time, and there were a bunch of them next to them. Squeezing the marbles.
Use glass beads to mark a pit half the size of a glass bead on the ground, then draw a line at a certain distance and bounce from the line into the pit.
No one will pop it in at first, wait until everyone pops out theirs.
Just aim at each other. As long as you can bounce the other's glass bead into the pit, that glass bead will be yours.
So many children will blow away some sand and dust on the ground before playing. If they were so serious about reading and doing homework, they would not eat fried meat often.
"You should play less with cardboard and play with tops. All these papers are bought with money and are used for your study."
At that time, homework was a dime per assignment. Ben, if you need money to buy food, your family may not give you a penny, but if you say there are no homework books, your family will never be stingy.
This is the yearning for reading in rural areas. They firmly believe that only reading can find a way out. If they can't read, they can only farm in the mountains.
Without special circumstances, farming will not make a difference.
Zhang An did tell them something. Whether they listened or not was up to them.
This thing is addictive. You tear out a few pieces of paper and fold them into cardboard. If you lose, you want to win it back. But you have to have cardboard in your hand before others will play with you.
So I keep thinking about tearing up books and homework.
Then I didn’t do any homework after school, so I just went to make cardboard.
But I have to say that they are truly happy now.
Compared to the children of later generations, they at least had a happy childhood and a happy memory.
"Zhang Tie, have you finished your homework? If you come out to play before you finish your homework, I will go home and tell my third aunt."
"Brother Xiao An, my brother is still I just went out to play without doing my homework." After hearing Zhang An's words, Xiao Yanzi began to reveal the truth.
"Okay, okay, I won't play anymore. I'm going home to do my homework. Brother An, please don't sue my mother."
"Let's go, let's go, I won't play today. ”
Zhang Tie is the king of children. He shouted and everyone dispersed.
"Our little Yanzi is still good. Let's go and buy you a lollipop."
I carried Xiao Yanzi to the canteen of Zhang Xinmin's house and bought her a lollipop. Look at the kid behind you.
Zhang An bought some spiced melon seeds and divided them among them.
Although every family grows their own melon seeds and peanuts, none of them have brine them. The spiced melon seeds sold in this store are still popular among children.
Every time you have money, go to the store to buy something. Even if it is only a dime, you can buy a small cup.
