Boss Hu is a generous and grateful man. He once gave seven or eight ponies to the Tai family children on the grassland.
Each pony is about the same height as the children, lively and healthy, with big, wet eyes, and is so adorable.
Tai Yonglu, Tai Yongyue and Chen Ruiyang immediately turned into horse herders, driving the ponies out to eat grass and drink water by the river every day.
The naughty boys in the village surrounded her enviously, vying to help look after her, so they had no time to think about eating.
Even when they have some free time, they still have to go to the row house to help take care of a group of horses!
The horse thieves were ferocious before, and the Tai family members almost lost their lives, and several of them suffered minor injuries.
So, after returning, Tai Jiye discussed with the old man and Tai Sanye how to make compensation.
The Tai family caravan entered the grassland several times, and the carriages and horses were hired from the carriage and horse shop in the city. Not only were the prices expensive, but they also had to pay compensation if there was any damage.
Tai Jiye has always felt that things are not going smoothly. Now that he has obtained so many horses, of course he wants to form his own team.
Mr. Tai also supported it, so the father and son consulted Yang Lihua and finally decided on it.
All the tribesmen who followed us to the grassland this time would receive five taels of silver each, and those who were injured would receive an extra tael.
Naturally, the horses could not be divided among them; they were all kept in the row house, with each family taking turns to care for them. Two inferior horses were set aside for public use. In the future, if anyone had an emergency, they could use the horses at any time.
In addition, two elders from the village were chosen to take turns driving the carriage, leaving in the morning and returning at noon each day to take the villagers to the city. The fare was one penny per person, which was used to repair and maintain the carriage and to compensate the two elders for their hard work!
The villagers were extremely surprised. You know, the subsidy of a few taels of silver was more than the wages for their entire journey through the grassland. Their fear was truly not in vain.
No one was greedy and coveted the horses. After all, Boss Hu, who came to rescue them, was Uncle Six's friend. He gave the spoils to Uncle Six's family and had nothing to do with them.
Now that they have the money, they will also have carriages to travel in the future. It really couldn’t be better!
Once the matter was settled, Tai Jiye immediately started to make preparations.
Tai Jizu and Tai Jizong were also busy. Tai Jizu was going to take people to build a stable near the row of houses to make it convenient for He Shan and others to ride and take care of them.
Tai Jizong summoned carpenters to quickly build a new carriage. It had to be light and strong, and...
In short, everyone in the Tai family was busy preparing for their own carriages and horses.
After Tai Yongning had a banquet at the homes of his three senior brothers, he stayed in the city with Tai Yongfeng.
Mr. Wu was worried that they would get lost in the praise of others, so he disciplined them strictly for a few days.
Seeing that his four disciples were not proud and were still studying diligently, he felt satisfied and gave them a day off.
Studying is not about working hard day after day, it requires a balance between relaxation and tension, and a combination of work and rest.
Tai Yongning didn't care what her husband thought and ran back to Taijia Village with Yongfeng on the night of the holiday.
He had heard from Manager Min that the family convoy had returned from the grassland!
As soon as the two got off the carriage, they were shocked by the hustle and bustle inside and outside the house. Not to mention other places, at least in the open space outside their own yard, there were seven or eight made carts parked.
Tai Yonglu was supporting Zhuzhu, who was running around on the cart, the little fat on her face trembling. Suddenly she turned her head and saw her second brother, and she rushed over to him.
“Second brother, second brother!”
Tai Yongning quickly ran forward and caught the naughty sister, complaining with a mixture of laughter and tears, "Why weren't you more careful? If you had knocked out a tooth, you would have become the ugliest little girl."
Zhuzhu quickly covered her mouth with her chubby little hands, rolling her big eyes, fearing that the little white teeth that had grown with great difficulty would go on strike!
Tai Yongning couldn't help laughing, and turned around to ask his brother, "Yonglu, why do we have so many carriages at home?"
Tai Yonglu immediately started showing off, "Second brother, you don't know yet! We encountered horse thieves when we went to the grassland this time. Fortunately, Uncle Hu saved us and killed all the horse thieves. We got a lot of horses. Third uncle and grandfather discussed making a horse carriage. From now on, our family will have our own team and we don't have to go to the county town to hire horses anymore."
Then he suddenly remembered and said, "Oh, by the way, Grandpa also reserved two carriages for us. From now on, the villagers will have carriages to ride in when they go out. You don't have to hire a carriage anymore!"
As they were talking, the big black horse and the big white horse couple came back from the river with a group of little horses.
The setting sun shines on the herd of horses, each of them is fat and strong, with shiny fur, and is particularly adorable.
Tai Yongfeng immediately rushed over cheering, touching this one and patting that one, like a monkey preparing to jump off a horse.
Big Black Horse rolled his lips, disdained to pay attention to him, and walked straight up to Tai Yongning and Zhuzhu with his wife.
Tai Yongning patted the big black horse's neck, smoothed the big white horse's mane, then carried Zhuzhu on the back of the big black horse and walked home.
When Zhimaqiu heard the noise, he ran out of the yard and circled around Tai Yongning's feet. He didn't look like a grassland overlord at all...
The two old brothers, Grandpa Tai and Third Master Tai, were chatting under the eaves. When they looked up and saw their grandson coming back, they were both happy.
Tai Yongfeng, for once, broke his rules and rushed to his grandfather, begging, "Grandpa, there are so many horses at home, can you give one to Yongning and me? It saves us from having to hire a car every time we come back!"
Master Tai patted his grandson and said with a smile, "You say that as if your family has wronged you."
Tai Yongning also stepped forward and saluted. Although he didn't say anything, his expression showed a bit of the desire of a young man who had encountered something he loved.
The old man said, "There are horse-drawn carriages running to and from the city every day. Just let me know when you come back. If a carriage is parked in your yard, it will be very troublesome to feed the horses and give them water. I'm afraid you won't have any free time."
Tai Yongfeng was instantly frustrated and deflated. Although Tai Yongning did not do the same, there was some disappointment in his eyes.
But the old man changed the subject and continued, "Your Third Uncle met Boss Hu on the grassland, and he gave him a few ponies. You two can each choose one. After two months, when they grow up and become close, you can ride them around. Then we can discuss with the Wu family and keep them there so that you can use them conveniently."
Tai Yongfeng and Tai Yongning were like seedlings that had finally found rain after a long drought, and they immediately stood up!
"Really? Grandpa is so nice!"
"Oh, oh! We have horses!"
The two of them cheered immediately and couldn't wait to see the pony.
Tai Yonglu handed his sister to his grandfather and happily led his brother on the way.
In fact, he was afraid that his brothers would snatch away the pony he had chosen!
Coincidentally, Tai Yongyue and Chen Ruiyang came back from outside and were also dragged over.
Tai Jizong came in from outside and called to his wife, "Dong Niang, isn't dinner ready yet? I'm hungry!"
Liu Dongniang poked her head out from the kitchen and replied, "That's it!"
Old Master Tai looked out of the courtyard. Chen Zhao had been in the city for two or three days, but there was still no news...
