Chapter 113: Horseback Riding
Bai Nuo slept comfortably on her small kang. When she woke up in the morning, she glanced at her watch. It was only five o'clock in the morning. She didn't even use the system to wake her up today!
Well, it’s a day of progress!
Bai Nuo sat on the kang, first took off the gauze, then got off the kang and fetched a basin of warm water to wash his face and brush his teeth.
After washing up, I took the basin and opened the back door, pouring water into the yard. Looking at the small vegetable plots on both sides surrounded by logs, I remembered that I had not had time to plant the seeds I brought back yesterday.
Bai Nuo stood in front of the back door, wearing a light yellow cotton pajamas with small floral patterns, holding a ceramic basin in his hand. A cool breeze blew over him in the early morning, and he felt much more energetic. He then went back to the room, combed his hair again, took out two thin black hairbands to tie two small buns, then went back to the kang to find the ointment Fang Meng gave him last night, applied the ointment, and finally re-bandaged his hand.
Although the wound had healed, the ointment had the smell of traditional Chinese medicine, and when wrapped with gauze, no one could tell that her hand had healed.
The chicken soup was still warm, and she ate breakfast with the egg pancake that Sister A Chong had given her when she went to the countryside, then went back to the space to find clothes.
Today I have to change my job of walking the horse. Bai Nuo doesn't want to wear baggy work clothes if he doesn't go to work in the fields.
I found a deep blue corduroy shirt, and put on a thin pink knitted vest with a few white clouds woven on it. I wore black corduroy straight pants and a pair of black cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles.
Now every morning, 925 would fill the kettle for her in advance. He used the mountain spring water in the space, which he boiled and let cool before putting it into the military kettle.
Bai Nuo left the space carrying a small backpack and a kettle, then opened the curtains in front and back, and left the back window half open so that the house could be ventilated during the day.
The vines planted at the base of the backyard wall have grown taller. Even if no one is home and the back window is open, as long as they are there, there is no need to worry about someone jumping in.
However, Bai Nuo felt that he still wanted to raise some living things at home, such as a majestic big wolfdog.
"Nono, how's your hand?"
When Sun Yuxi saw Bai Nuo coming out, he hurried over to check her injured little hand.
"Fortunately, it doesn't hurt as much as yesterday. The ointment Fang Zhiqing gave me is quite effective in relieving pain." Bai Nuo raised his tightly wrapped hand and smiled brightly.
"That's good. What kind of job do you plan to do today?" Sun Yuxi asked as the two of them walked forward and knocked on Chao Xianhua's door.
"I'm going to the breeding team to take the job of walking the horses."
"Walking the horses?" Chao Xianhua heard the noise and hurried out. He locked the door and turned back. "Is it okay? Our team has five horses in total. This shouldn't be an easy job."
"I can ride a horse, so I can take them for a stroll around the village. I heard from the cart driver that the horses in the village are quite gentle."
"That's fine. Anyway, if you can't stand it, the captain shouldn't object to giving you another job. If all else fails, go get some pig grass. That shouldn't be difficult. I see some kids in the village doing it."
After all, Sun Yuxi lived in the Seventh Water Brigade for several years in her previous life. Although her brain seemed to be fogged by something strange, and her mind was full of those messy love affairs, and she paid no attention to other things, she could occasionally recall some situations about the Seventh Water Brigade.
It seems that nothing has really happened to the horses in the village.
It happened that Qin Xuehua also went out at this time, and the four little girls gathered together again and walked towards the field. The other male educated youth and female educated youth living in the dormitory followed silently behind them, looking up at the four people in front from time to time, with different expressions.
As for what they were thinking, Bai Nuo and the others didn't pay any attention at all.
Bai Nuo and Sun Yuxi separated at the fork in the road, and each went to the brigade headquarters to find the brigade leader.
"You want to take your horse for a ride?" The captain glanced up and down at the energetic young educated youth and twitched his mouth helplessly.
With such a small size...it would be better to release geese or chickens and ducks!
The livestock and poultry in the breeding team are not kept in the pen all day long. Doing so is not good for their growth, and the meat is not as delicious as those raised by free-range animals. Even the dozen or so pigs have to be taken out in batches every day.
However, these jobs are basically done by the cowshed or the elderly and children in the village, after all, the work points are too few.
But children are not allowed to walk horses. When they stand up, they may not even be as tall as the horse, and they may be kicked away.
"Uncle Captain, who are you looking down on?" Bai Nuo was so angry that he put his hands on his hips, stepped on the stool next to him and stood up, looking at the captain who looked down on him with a face full of dissatisfaction.
Even her own father cannot let go of anyone who despises her height!
Oh, she doesn’t have a biological father, that’s okay!
The captain's eyes widened instantly when the little girl stood on the chair. For some reason, he suddenly felt as if his own naughty daughter had appeared. His face turned pale and he pointed at the naughty girl and shouted.
"You little bastard, who are you challenging? Get down here."
"Oh!"
Bai Nuo curled the corner of his mouth, and only acted tough for a moment in front of this uncle, then jumped down from the chair obediently.
"Slow down, slow down, or you'll fall again!"
The captain was so frightened that he quickly took a step forward. Seeing that the little girl landed safely on the ground, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The average height of the people here is quite tall, especially the people from their Wei family, so the chairs used by their family are taller than those sold in state-owned furniture stores. He was afraid that this girl would sprain her ankle again if she was too aggressive.
His hand hasn't healed yet, and if he sprains his foot again, he'll have to let his wife know and have to sleep in his youngest son's room late at night.
"Then I'll go to the breeding team to get the job?" Bai Nuo didn't care whether the captain believed her or not. Anyway, she had inquired when she came here, and the breeding team did not have a fixed horse walker for the time being, so this job was just right for her.
"By the way, Uncle Captain." Just as he walked out of the captain's office, Bai Nuo suddenly turned his head and looked over, then asked: "Do we have any saddles in our brigade warehouse? I can ride a horse, I can ride them for a walk."
"You can ride a horse?" The captain was surprised, but this time he resisted the urge to pay attention to the little girl's height, so as not to get angry in front of him again.
He finally realized that this girl only looked soft and sweet on the outside. She was always smiling when she had nothing to do. She seemed to have a very good temper and was the type that was easy to bully.
Actually...
Haha, this is a little tiger girl who will kill anyone she catches. She is also very strong. Most people probably can't beat her.
I have to say, this girl and his daughter might really get along well. Thinking about it this way... he suddenly felt a headache.
突然想把他闺女嫁到别的大队去祸祸别的大队的大队长去，又怕他媳妇揍完他，他爹再接着揍，到时候备不住他连家都回不去了。
"Yes, I can. I'm very good at riding a horse." Bai Nuo raised his chin with pride, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.
"Of course you can, but you have to ensure your own safety." The captain sighed helplessly. He had no choice but to agree. Last night, that little bastard had specially run to his house to tell him.
Anyway, the general idea is that as long as this girl is happy and safe, nothing else matters.
Who would have thought that these two little bastards actually knew each other, they actually knew each other!
"No problem, Uncle Captain, I promise!" Bai Nuo saluted the captain, turned around and ran, shouting as he ran, "That's settled then. I'll report to the breeding team first, then go find the scorekeeper to get the key and the saddle. Goodbye, Uncle Captain."
"You little girl, run slower and don't fall."
"Know it!"
