"My name is Su Li, the Li that means thorough and thorough."
"Okay." Old Zhang quickly wrote the name Su Li on the register. "The fee for horseback riding lessons here is ten taels of silver."
Su Li paid the money readily.
"Let's go!" After registering, Pei Mingyue took Su Li out of the registration office.
"Miss Su, what do you think about me being your coach?" Pei Mingyue asked tentatively after leaving the door.
"Huh?" Su Li was surprised. This little girl really has multiple jobs. She is even a part-time horse riding instructor?
Seeing that Su Li was speechless, Pei Mingyue was afraid of being rejected again, so he patted his chest and repeatedly assured her: "Miss Su, don't worry, I have learned horse riding since I was a child. I am really good at it, and I will definitely let you learn it quickly! Of course, if you don't agree, I will take you to find another coach..."
Su Li smiled and said, "I'm just surprised. You distribute flyers and work as a doorman, but I didn't expect you're also a horse riding instructor."
"Haha!" Pei Mingyue touched her nose and said embarrassedly, "I'm actually a coach, but the customers who come here to learn horse riding don't believe I can teach them well because I'm a little girl. In the end, they all choose male coaches. I, I have to go out and attract customers myself..."
So that’s it, Su Li thought, isn’t this gender discrimination in the workplace?
"Okay, then you can be my coach." To her, it doesn't matter whether the coach is male or female. What matters is whether he can teach her well.
"Really? That's great!" Pei Mingyue looked very happy. She finally had her first student!
She introduced herself: "Miss Su, my name is A Yue, you can just call me A Yue."
"Okay, Ayue, you can just call me Su Li." After all, she is now a married woman, and she feels a little embarrassed to be called a girl all the time.
"Okay, Su Li, let's go to the stable and choose a horse!"
"Okay, let's go."
The stables were not far in front of them. There were two stables in total, each containing more than a dozen horses of different colors.
Pei Mingyue looked at the two stables and introduced them, "Su Li, these are relatively docile horses. We'll ride whichever one you like."
Su Li didn't know much about horses, but A Yue said they were all docile. She looked around and chose a beautiful chestnut horse.
Pei Mingyue led the horse and took Su Li to another riding square where there were fewer people.
"Hey, Ayue, is this girl your guest?"
As soon as I arrived at the square, I saw a male coach asking with a smile.
There was also a boy of about fifteen or sixteen riding a horse tremblingly next to him. He was probably just learning how to ride a horse.
"Yes, my guest!" A Yue raised her head and said proudly.
"Sure, you finally found a client who's willing to let you teach?"
"Hmph! Stop looking down on me!"
"How dare I? Hey! A Yue, how about we have a competition to see who can teach the guests first?" The male coach said in a teasing and provocative tone.
Just when Su Li thought that the little girl would be provoked and agree quickly, Pei Mingyue directly refused.
"No way! Do you think learning horse riding is like horse racing? You have to take it slow!" He looked at Su Li and said, "Su Li, let's not rush. Let's learn slowly. Safety comes first."
Su Li raised an eyebrow, a little surprised. The little girl looked cheerful, but unexpectedly she was actually quite calm. So, she smiled and said, "I'll listen to Coach Ayue."
"Hehe!" Pei Mingyue was so happy when Su Li called her Coach Ayue, "Then let's get started..."
After an afternoon, Su Li learned the most basic horse riding skills and can now ride a horse slowly.
Pei Mingyue was also very surprised. She didn't expect Su Li to learn so quickly. "Su Li, you learn really fast. Let's stop here today. I'll teach you other skills tomorrow."
"Okay!" Su Li got off the horse and handed the reins to A Yue.
Not to mention, riding a horse doesn't seem that difficult. I wonder if it's because she's good at martial arts and has a flexible body.
After saying goodbye to A Yue, Su Li walked out of the riding field and headed towards the inn. On the way, he saw someone selling meat buns and bought a few to bring back to the inn for his parents to eat.
For some time afterwards, she went to the clinic with Su's father and mother in the morning, and went to the riding stable to learn horse riding in the afternoon. After nearly half a month, she had become quite proficient in riding.
In the afternoon, Su Li and A Yue went to the riding field and galloped on horseback for the whole afternoon, and then told her that he would not come from tomorrow.
They will go to the clinic again tomorrow. If Su Zheng is fine, they will return.
Although Su Li had already fully learned to ride a horse, Pei Mingyue was still reluctant to let her go: "Su Li, if you are free in the future, you can come and play with me, and we can ride horses together."
Su Li responded with a smile.
The next morning, Su Li and his father and mother went to the clinic together.
After the doctor's examination, Su Zheng's illness was basically cured, and he still had a slight cough. He prescribed medicine for two more days and then told them that they didn't need to go again tomorrow.
The whole family breathed a sigh of relief, and Su Zheng and Su Shi both had smiles on their faces.
After leaving the clinic, Su Li said, "Dad, Mom, let's go home soon."
"Okay, let's go to the inn and pack our things!" Su said with a smile.
"Then Dad and Mom, you guys go back to the inn first. I'll go to the mule and horse shop to hire a carriage to go to the inn."
Su Li parted ways with her father and mother, hired a carriage, and went to the market to buy some fresh meat and vegetables. Then she returned to the inn to pick up her father and mother and take them back to Sujia Village.
"The scholar is back. How are you? Are you feeling better?"
As soon as I got off the carriage at the door, two passing villagers came over and asked.
They had all heard about Su Zheng's story and knew that he had been misdiagnosed with tuberculosis. When they saw him come back, they came over to greet him.
"Okay, okay, thank you for your concern!" Su Zheng said with a smile.
Seeing the rosy face, the two knew that he was fine, so they chatted for a few more minutes before leaving.
Su Shen was not at home. It was only the afternoon, and he should still be attending classes at the private school.
After helping to move the luggage, Su Li carried the meat and vegetables bought at the Luocheng market into the kitchen and started to make a fire and cook.
After Su packed her luggage, she saw her cooking and rolled up her sleeves to help.
More than an hour later, Su Li and Su Shi prepared a table full of dishes. At this time, Su Shen also came back from the private school in a donkey cart.
Seeing that everyone in the family had returned, Su Shen was pleasantly surprised: "Mom, how is Dad? Is he feeling better?"
"Okay, okay!" Su replied with a smile, "Your father still has a slight cough. The doctor prescribed some medicine for two days. Your father will be fine after taking it."
"That's great!" Su Shen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterwards, the whole family sat together and had dinner happily.
After dinner, it was already dark, so Mrs. Su simply let Su Li stay at home for one night and go back to town tomorrow.
So she cleaned the bedroom where Su Li lived before she got married, changed the quilt covers, and let Su Li go to rest.
After a busy day, Su Li was indeed a little tired and went to bed early at night.
