Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 250 Face Warms Stomach, Love Warms Heart (Two in One)

"Ma Wang, this is definitely the horse king!"

Suddenly, a herdsman shouted excitedly.

You must know that the general leader horse can only command one group of horses, and only the king of horses can command several or even dozens of horse groups.

Just like it is now, under the command of Daqing Ma, a group of more than a dozen horses formed a charging formation on their own, and circled around their camp on the prairie.

"Tap~Tap~"

The sound of horseshoes resounding through the sky made people's blood boil.

At the same time, it made the herdsmen smile with joy on their faces.

If any pastoral area can have a horse king, it will not only make the horses safer when grazing, but also help the herdsmen to better manage the horse herds, saving the herdsmen a lot of trouble.

"Hey~"

Xu Lingjun saw that the big green horse had already led the group of horses for a few laps. In order to ensure the strength of the group of horses, he hurriedly blew a whistle.

When the big green horse heard the whistle, it immediately slowed down and brought the horses to a stop.

Just when it was about to run to Xu Lingjun to ask for a reward, there was another slight sound of horseshoes on the grassland in the distance.

Its ears perked up, and then ran straight to the direction where the horseshoes sounded.

Xu Lingjun couldn't laugh or cry when he saw the action of the big green horse.

Sure enough, soon the big green horse rubbed a leading horse that had just arrived on the ground again, and it broke into the herds of other herdsmen again and made a big fuss.

Then, the new herdsmen, informed by the previous herdsmen, knew that the big green horse had become a new generation of horse king.

In this way, after an hour, all the herdsmen of the seven teams came here with their horses, and all the horses were conquered by the big green horse.

"呲~"

The big green horse ran up to Xu Lingjun with a full face, snorted, and looked at Xu Lingjun with those very smart eyes, revealing a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"Okay, I'll eat it for you when I get back."

Xu Lingjun stretched out his hand and rubbed the big green horse's neck, and said in a somewhat annoyed manner.

When training Da Qingma, in order to mobilize Da Qingma's enthusiasm, he bought some fresh and juicy grass from the system mall to reward Da Qingma.

Ever since the big green horse ate it once, every time he got a chance, he would ask for a reward from him, and even if he gave it less.

Fortunately, the price of forage grass is also very cheap, and one happy coin can buy a lot, otherwise, he would have no way to satisfy this big appetite.

When the big green horse heard Xu Lingjun's words, its eyes lit up, and it hurriedly rubbed Xu Lingjun's body with its head, and then it ran into the group of horses happily, enjoying the courtship and service of other horses.

After this period of training, it has been able to understand most of the common language used by humans, and can also recognize various common things. If it is not for the fact that it cannot speak, it can be called a child in horse skin.

The herdsmen looked at Xu Lingjun enviously. No matter how they thought about it, they couldn't imagine that an old You could actually cultivate a king of horses.

In the past, they were willing to let Xu Lingjun stay in their team because Xu Lingjun was practical and honest.

Well, now they are even more impressed by Xu Lingjun's ability to train horses. Many people changed their mouths on the spot. When talking about Xu Lingjun with others, they no longer called Xu Lingjun Laoyou.

Xu Lingjun noticed these changes, and couldn't help a confident smile from the corner of his mouth.

No matter what age you are in, those who are capable will definitely be respected by others.

Of course, this will inevitably cause some people to be jealous and unhappy.

Although in the original play, all the truth, goodness and beauty are shown, but how can there be such a perfect place in the world?

It's just that most of the herdsmen here are relatively kind.

He was not surprised by this, and he would not take these jealous people to heart.

No matter what, living your own life is the most important thing.

Soon, the herdsmen gathered together, counted the number of horses, found that there were no omissions, and then prepared to go down the mountain to go home.

"Old Xu, go home!"

Guo Bizi rode on the horse and shouted loudly with a smile.

"Snapped!"

Xu Lingjun smiled slightly, flicked his horsewhip vigorously, and there was a bang, then he stretched out his hand to pull the rein, and shouted in a low voice: "Drive!"

"Sorry~"

The big green horse raised its front hooves high, let out a roar, and then sped forward quickly, taking the lead in running down Qilian Mountain.

Seeing its movement, other horses followed it one after another, and there was no need for the herdsmen to drive it away.

"Tap~Tap~"

Soon, as the sound of horseshoes resounding through the sky gradually faded away, only a puff of smoke and dust remained on the spot.

Slowly, calm was restored on the prairie.

A big hawk was circling in the sky, as if it wanted to catch a fat hare for dinner, but after circling for a long time, it didn't find any trace of the hare, so it could only flap its wings in disappointment and leave the area.

Xu Lingjun rode a big green horse and led nearly a thousand horses, and went straight down the mountain along the way up the mountain.

After half a day, they traveled more than 100 kilometers and returned to the village smoothly.

On the grass in front of the village, Xu Lingjun separated from the others and let the big green horse lead the group of horses he managed to the stables.

After all the horses entered the stables, he quietly spent 10 happy coins from the system store to buy a large amount of pasture and fill up the forage warehouse.

Then, he fed the horses with pasture, and then he took the rabbit skins and meat, as well as the tools for grazing, and walked towards his home.

After nearly half a month, some weeds have grown in the already simple yard, and the house has become more and more dilapidated, which looks out of place with the houses of other people in the village.

There is no way, other people's homes still have elderly women to take care of the housework, but now he is alone, and the roof is not blown down by the wind.

"Crench!"

He stretched out his hand to push open the door, and there was a musty smell in the room, which made him frown uncontrollably.

Before, because he just went out to the mountains to graze after crossing over, he didn't have time to tidy up the house at all.

Moreover, the original body has been living in mental torment, and has no requirements for the quality of life. It is conceivable how poor the hygiene in this room will be.

"Whoo~"

He sighed softly, put the things at the door casually, walked into the room and buried himself in cleaning.

After doing this, he didn't stop with some satisfaction until the afterglow of the sun disappeared into the sky.

After tidying up, although the room still looked a bit shabby, the most basic tables, chairs, benches, beds and cabinets were all set up for him.

Moreover, he also let him shovel off the dirt and repaired the earthen stove that was a bit dirty.

In addition, the broken straw mats and rotten quilts, as well as pots and pans, etc., which he couldn't stand the most, made him buy some from the system store and replace them according to the style and pattern.

In this way, even if someone else sees it, they won't be suspicious.

In addition, he also cleared out a pile of books and a few diaries, on which the original body recorded every bit of his mental journey over the years.

He properly placed all these things in the cabinet as a commemoration and respect for the original body.

In the end, he also found the 40 yuan he had saved.

Moreover, if he remembered correctly, today is March 75, 3.

In this era, there is no such thing as arrears of wages or salary deposits. Generally, the wages of the previous month will be paid on the 1st of each month.

In other words, in a few days, when the salary for March is paid, he will have a total of 3 yuan in his hands.

With this money, he can also have a reason to buy some daily necessities from the system store to make his life more comfortable.

However, before that, he had to find time to go to the county seat.

While making plans in his heart, he put away the grazing tools, rabbit skin and rabbit meat.

Then, he took out the leftover buckwheat flour from the original body and started kneading the noodles to make steamed buns.

Buckwheat itself is a coarse grain, and it also has a bitter taste. The steamed buns made will taste unpalatable.

Therefore, in this era, buckwheat flour is a food worse than cornmeal.

However, in the 21st century, because people pay more attention to health and nutrition, the price of buckwheat flour is more expensive than fine grains made of wheat flour.

This has to be said to be a kind of irony!

The reason why he wants to make buckwheat flour into steamed buns is mainly because he doesn't want to waste food. Even if he doesn't eat it, he can put it in the system warehouse for backup.

After kneading the dough, he put the little leftover rice from his predecessor into the pot to cook.

For the time being, if it is not necessary, he will not buy ingredients to cook at home, so as not to let others know and cause unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, buying finished dishes directly from the system store is not much more expensive than buying ingredients, and it saves a lot of trouble.

Just when he finished cooking and wanted to buy a piece of braised pork from the system store to satisfy his hunger, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Lingjun, I cut some meat today and made a big pot of noodles topped with minced meat. Hurry up and eat it while it's hot!"

Aunt Dong came in with a big bowl of noodles and smiled kindly.

Just when she was about to put the noodles on the table as usual, she was immediately shocked by the clean and orderly environment in the room.

Is this still Xu Lingjun's home?
Am I in the wrong house?

Seeing Mrs. Dong standing there, Xu Lingjun hurried forward with a smile and refused: "Ms. Dong, no need, I've already cooked the rice, you should take this side back!"

Aunt Dong came back to her senses when she heard the voice, and looked at the calm and confident Xu Lingjun in front of her, a gratified smile slowly appeared on her face.

"Okay, okay! Originally, I heard Haisheng said that you had already thought about it, and I still couldn't believe it. Now that I see you like this, I can finally let go of my heart."

Xu Lingjun said gratefully: "Ms. Dong, thanks to you and Mr. Dong taking care of me all these years, otherwise I wouldn't be here today. Don't worry, I won't think so much in the future. I will give my life to you in a down-to-earth manner." Have a good time."

"Oh! Since we live together, we are a family. Why are you being polite to us? Come on, eat this while it's hot. I have something to do at home, so I'll go back first."

Aunt Dong said with a smile on her face.

With that said, she didn't wait for Xu Lingjun to refuse, she quickly put the noodles on the table, then turned around, opened the door and went out.

Xu Lingjun glanced at the bowl full of noodles, stood at the door and watched Aunt Dong leave, silently remembering this kindness in her heart.

What he has always believed in is repaying grievances with sincerity and repaying virtue with kindness!

Although Mrs. Dong didn't know that his body had changed into a soul, this kindness really fell on him.

Therefore, he must accept this love.

Not long after, he closed the door casually, turned around and went back into the house, then picked up the bowl of noodles, sat on the stool and ate.

The taste of the noodles wasn't very good, it could even be said that it wasn't very tasty, but he still ate all the noodles in the end.

For some things, the taste is second, the most important thing is the affection.

The face warms the stomach, and the love warms the heart.

After eating, he took out the cooked rice and put it into the system warehouse together with the steamed buns for later use.

Then, he went out to inspect the stables, found nothing unusual, and then went back to the house to boil water for a bath.

This time he went to the mountains to graze, if he had to say what made him feel the most uncomfortable, he couldn't take a good hot bath.

At most, the herdsmen boil some water to wipe their bodies, and they seldom even change their clothes.

In desperation, he had no choice but to use the stream water for bathing while fetching water for cooking every day.

Fortunately, he was pregnant with Tai Chi pills, otherwise he would have fallen ill if he just took cold water directly.

While boiling the water, he added another plan to himself, which was to expand the house.

When he was in the courtyard before, he couldn't build a house openly because of the real estate policy, but now he is in the sparsely populated Qilian Mountain prairie, can he still wrong himself?

Not to mention getting four bedrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen and one bathroom, then at least two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom!

Moreover, there are no entertainment activities in this era anyway, so he might as well DIY a home of his own.

Thinking about it, he suddenly thought of that innocent, kind, lovely, virtuous and capable girl.

According to the timeline in the play, this time is about the time when she escaped from her hometown and came here.

So, should I take the initiative to pay attention?
He remembered that a month before she came, a person from Team Six was killed by a car overturned.

If you want to narrow down the time frame of her coming, you can do it through this matter.

However, this is not the most important thing, the important thing is that now he is not the original body, then, will this girl still be that girl?

Moreover, he can't go to that place in the play to wait every day!
If he doesn't wait, what should he do if something happens?
After much deliberation, he found that the best way is to let nature take its course.

After all, although he was a little bit greedy for this girl, he was not to the point where he had to.

Anyway, let's go!

He shook his head slightly, put the matter behind him, and began to think about how to DIY his own home.
