Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 234 Bringing a Mare Home
"Drive! Huh~"

"Brother Xu, hurry up and teach me how to ride?"

Dong Haisheng came over on a horse and said excitedly.

"Tap~Tap~"

"Don't mess around here, kid. The horse hasn't grazed yet. You have to learn how to wait until the horse is full in the afternoon before letting Old Xu teach you."

Guo Bizi rode over, and when he heard Dong Haisheng's words, he hurriedly stopped him.

After finishing speaking, he turned over and got off the horse, put his arms around the horse's neck, put his mouth to the horse's ear and said, "Go! Go eat grass, don't run around."

"hey-hey!"

Dong Haisheng smiled a little embarrassedly, got off his horse as well, and walked towards Xu Lingjun.

"Kick kick ~ step ~"

At this time, several other people also rushed over on horseback.

Xu Lingjun put his arms around the big green horse's neck, helped it comb the mane on its neck, and then patted its neck lightly.

"呲~"

The big green horse shook its neck, snorted, and then obediently walked to the grass next to it, bowed its head and grazed.

"Phew, I'm exhausted. There are a few young horses in this herd who are too naughty, and they often scurry around. Later, I gave them a few whips to calm down."

Shi Dongwei sat down on the grass, stretched out his hand to loosen the neckline, and said a little depressed.

"Haha, the young horses in my group of horses are also disobedient. After a few months, they will grow up a little bit and they will be fine. Speaking of which, after a while, those big horses will also be in heat, and there will be some good time." Busy!"

Hu Zhongguo sat down cross-legged, took out a dry cigarette from his pocket, and said with a smile.

"That's right! People are busy plowing the fields in the beginning of spring, but we are lucky. The beginning of spring is to breed horses. Damn, I don't even have a place for myself yet!"

Meng Dazhuang sat on the ground, picked up a piece of pasture and put it in his mouth, and said with some displeasure.

"Haha, with your stature, only horses can bear you. I think you can take a mare home and become your wife."

Guo Bizi teased with a smirk.

"Screw you!"

Meng Dazhuang grabbed a handful of pasture grass and threw it at Guo Bizi, his dark and strong face faintly showing a blush.

The others burst out laughing when they saw this scene.

Xu Lingjun sat on the ground and laughed softly, his eyes flicked across their faces one by one, and their information appeared in his mind at the same time.

Guo Bizi, the matchmaker who gave him his wife in the original play, is 36 years old this year, one year older than him. He married his wife in his early thirties. His wife's name is Niu Fengying. She came from famine and has a three-year-old son. .

Dong Haisheng, a 23-year-old young man, is the son of Uncle Dong in the village. He has been a labor force in the family for a long time and is responsible for herding.

Shi Dongwei, a young man who just turned 15, his father died of illness a few years ago, leaving only his mother and [-]-year-old younger sister in his family. His biggest wish is to let his mother and younger sister live a good life.

Meng Dazhuang, a 28-year-old young man, is 1.9 meters tall. He is thick and thick with a fierce face. His family is worried about his marriage. In this day and age, it is hard to find a stronger girl.

Hu Zhongguo, a 39-year-old young man, has a wife and children at home. His eldest son is 13 years old and his youngest daughter is [-] years old. His biggest wish is that the school can resume classes so that the children can study and go to school, so that they don’t have to suffer from grazing in the future.

Generally speaking, as long as they are over 45 years old, they will not go up the mountain to graze if it is not necessary. Those who go up the mountain to graze are young and strong young people.

In this way, it is passed down from generation to generation.

"Hey, Brother Xu, what are you laughing at? You are seven years older than me. If you are in a hurry, you should be more anxious than me."

Seeing that Xu Lingjun was also laughing, Meng Dazhuang hurriedly turned the flames of war on Xu Lingjun.

"I'm not in a hurry, no one wants to marry me anyway."

Xu Lingjun didn't wait for the others to speak, and smiled relaxedly.

"Hey, Old Xu, don't be so discouraged. Maybe the situation will change in a few years. You are a learned person, and you will definitely be more successful than us poor buddies in the future."

Hu Zhongguo took a puff of dry tobacco, and hurriedly spoke in relief.

"That's right! Although you are Lao You, no one in our team knows that you are a down-to-earth and good person. Don't worry, you will get better in the future."

Guo Bizi also followed suit.

"I know, and I also believe that you don't have to worry about me. I've thought about it now. With people like you who care about me, even if I let my horse stay here for a lifetime, that's fine."

Xu Lingjun smiled slightly, nodded and said.

"Ha ha!"

Hearing this, the others laughed very happily, and the eyes they looked at Xu Lingjun became closer.

"Let's go! Let's go to the rabbit hole and play a few tricks first, and see if we can catch a few rabbits tomorrow, so that we can have a good time."

Guo Jizi got up and patted the pasture on his buttocks, and said excitedly.

"Let's go! I'm still short of a few pieces of rabbit skin to make a rabbit fur coat, and I will try to get it this time when I go up the mountain to let the horses out."

Dong Haisheng stood up abruptly when he heard the words, urging him eagerly.

"Okay! Then you go! I'll stay here and watch things."

Hu Zhongguo leisurely smoked a pipe, and took the initiative to take over the task of staying behind.

Hearing his words, the others stood up.

Xu Lingjun followed Dong Haisheng and the others curiously, and walked together to the hillside not far away.

Although he has a system store where he can buy supplies directly, it's not as enjoyable as grabbing it with his own hands.

It's a pity that the rabbits are not fat at all after being consumed by a cold winter, and even if they are caught, they are not very delicious.

Generally speaking, there are two ways to catch rabbits in the wild, one is to set the trap, and the other is to set the trap.

Relatively speaking, the lower sleeve is more economical and affordable, and only needs a strong and soft rope, unlike the lower clip that requires a special clip.

However, no matter which method is used, the most important thing is to find the path that rabbits often take first. If you don’t find the right path, then no matter what method you use, it will be useless.

There is often a saying in the old herdsman's mouth, as long as there is prey passing by, as long as the live hook is well beaten, there will be no rabbit that cannot be caught.

To identify where the rabbits often travel, first look for the rabbit hole, then look for the rabbit's fresh droppings and foot marks.

Because rabbits generally go the same way and leave feces on the road.

Therefore, as long as the path is found in this way, half of the success is basically achieved, and the rest depends on whether the live button is good enough.

This also confirms an old saying, often walking by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet!
Because of this habit of going the old way, the rabbit family did not know how many compatriots they lost.

Soon, they were scattered all over the hillside looking for rabbit holes.
