"Okay, okay, comrade, please eat quickly. Consider it a favor to me."
As Jiang Wenwan spoke, she winked at him, signaling him to look at the black horse.
Sure enough, the black horse seemed to be looking at him, and in that instant, the comrade understood!
"Then I won't be polite."
As he spoke, he picked up the malt candy from Jiang Wenwan's hand and put it in his mouth.
His eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.
"Mmm, this maltose is really delicious!"
Since all sugar is sweet, there's no such thing as an unpleasant taste.
Jiang Wenwan smiled and took out another piece of candy, handing it to the black horse. Then, she walked around the black horse and gave it to that comrade.
The comrade still had a piece in his mouth, and when he saw Jiang Wenwan give him another piece, he quickly waved his hand.
Before he could say anything, the black horse inside nearly knocked him over by its head bumping into him.
The black horse bumped into the comrade and went to eat the candy in Jiang Wenwan's hand.
Jiang Wenwan picked up the piece of malt candy and patted its horse head.
"Let me ride you, and I'll give you candy!"
After saying that, he spread his hand out of the dark horse's reach, put a piece of maltose candy in his hand, then another, and another, and so on, until he had put four pieces in a row.
"Let me ride these and I'll give you all the food. If you don't let me ride, you won't get a single piece."
After she finished speaking, the black horse, puffing out white breath, paced anxiously back and forth.
Jiang Wenwan didn't want to wait for it to make a decision; instead, she made the decision for it.
Instead, he walked straight up, took the reins, and led the big black horse away.
The big black horse hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not break free. Instead, it followed her out.
With a smile, Jiang Wenwan handed the big black horse another piece of candy.
The guard looked at Jiang Wenwan in surprise, wondering how she had managed to lead the horse away with just a few candies.
"Comrade, could you please register?"
"Okay, I'll register you right away."
Jiang Wenwan put a saddle pad on Dahei and led him out.
She gave it another piece of candy, and after watching it eat it, Jiang Wenwan took the opportunity to step on the stirrups and mount the horse.
Dahei was suddenly mounted by Jiang Wenwan and walked around a bit uncomfortably.
As Jiang Wenwan patted its rump, the big black horse raised its two front hooves, neighed, and charged off.
That guy, he was incredibly fast!
"Hahaha! Big Black, faster! Giddy up! Giddy up!"
If you follow me from now on, I'll give you candy every day.
But if your tooth is damaged, there's no guarantee of a cure!
Ha ha ha ha! "
Big Black probably doesn't even know what it means to have bad teeth. As a horse, it has never tasted anything as delicious as maltose.
It tastes even better than the wild wheat it eats.
Jiang Wenwan was not mistaken; Dahei's four legs were powerful, and it ran faster than her previous horse.
They arrived at Old Xu's house in no time.
"Comrade Jiang, thank you for coming all this way."
Jiang Wenwan dismounted and placed Dahei aside without tying it up.
I want to see if this dark horse will run away on its own.
Before going inside, she gave Big Black a piece of malt candy.
"How do you look, Sister-in-law Xu, today?"
When Sister-in-law Xu heard her ask from inside the house, she answered loudly.
"I feel much better today."
"I feel like I can get out of bed."
"I know you can't stay still. You're already in a hurry to get out of bed after only a few days of lying down. You'll need to stay in bed for a month to recover after childbirth!"
And you can't be exposed to wind, otherwise you might develop headaches and back pain, which could be a lifelong problem.
"How can we have gotten anywhere in just a few days?"
Sure enough, after hearing what Jiang Wenwan said, Sister Xu immediately wilted.
"Alright, alright, I won't get out of bed. Old Xu is watching over me!"
He keeps a close eye on me; he worries even when I go down to the bathroom.
I wish I could stay lying on the kang forever.
Jiang Wenwan was bombarded with displays of affection, and suddenly remembered something and said:
"Sister-in-law, wait for me a moment."
As she spoke, she ran out to the satchel next to the big black horse, actually taking out yarn and needles from her spatial storage.
"Sister-in-law, look what I brought you today."
Although winter is over, it's still a bit cold.
You could knit a scarf for yourself and your husband.
If this thread isn't enough, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some more for you later.
Doing handicrafts seems to be a gene etched into a girl's bones.
Sister Xu's eyes lit up as soon as she saw needles and yarn.
"Hey, this yarn is so precious, what kind of ticket do you need to buy it?"
Jiang Wenwan smiled and handed her the yarn and needles.
"Don't worry about that, I'll find a way to buy it."
Last time, didn't Old Xu give me a snow lotus to thank me and Sister-in-law Song for taking care of you?
I know it's inconvenient for you to sell them.
When Old Xu is herding the sheep, he can dig up some caterpillar fungus, and I'll help you take it out to sell.
Now we'll have money to buy yarn. And don't worry about the tickets, I have some here, I'll just exchange them for a few with you later.
"There's something I need from your goose eggs; you'll have to provide me with 10 goslings."
Knowing that Jiang Wenwan was intentionally helping her, Sister Xu didn't stand on ceremony and took the yarn and needles.
"Okay, don't just say 10, I'll hatch 20 for you."
"Please teach me how to knit a scarf!"
Jiang Wenwan sat down next to her without any hesitation.
"Get your shot first, then I'll call you when you're done."
Just then, someone came looking for him in Old Xu's courtyard.
"Old Xu, is Old Xu home?"
Are you going out to graze the livestock today?
I have a horse that's been sickly lately, and it hasn't been eating much these past few days. I don't know what's wrong.
I plan to go to the county to see a veterinarian.
Have you noticed this happening to other horses while you're herding them?
Old Xu heard the sound and exchanged a glance with Jiang Wenwan.
