The army in the 1930s was not highly mechanized, but it still retained a considerable amount of cavalry, and there were some organized cavalry regiments in the border areas. Although the independent division was not stationed in the frontier area, it still retained a cavalry company and had dozens of horses on the stable.
An Hua can ride a horse. When she was a child, her parents would teach her anything that could show off.
She wanted to please her parents, so she studied horse riding, painting, calligraphy, and various musical instruments very seriously and did well in all of them.
But the original owner didn’t know how to ride a horse, so An Hua could only pretend that she didn’t know how to ride a horse.
"Mom, I can do it. I'll take you!" Dongdong shouted.
The little guy learned to ride a horse at the age of three because of his father's teaching. However, he could only ride a pony himself.
Xiao Xiao patted his little head and said, "You ride it by yourself, and Dad will teach Mom how to ride it."
Shi Xiaojun shouted, "Uncle Xiao, I don't know how to do it either. You have to teach me."
Xiao Xiao: “…” He just wanted to take his fragrant wife for a ride.
Xiao Zhu on the side glanced at his leader, rolled his eyes, and said to Shi Xiaojun and Shi Xiaoshan with a smile: "You two don't know how to do it? Let me teach you."
Shi Xiaojun didn't care who taught him, as long as someone taught him.
Shi Xiaoshan looked at the tall horse in front of her, her eyes showing fear, "Uncle Xiao Zhu, if I fall off the horse, will I be disabled?"
It was the first time that Shi Xiaojun saw his sister was afraid of something, and he immediately laughed out loud, "Shi Xiaoshan is a coward, she's afraid of even horses!"
Shi Xiaoshan clenched her fist and raised it.
Shi Xiaojun quickly said to Xiao Zhu: "Uncle Xiao Zhu, I'll go first, you help me get on the horse first!"
An Hua turned her gaze away from the Shi siblings and said to Xiao Chen, "I'm worried about letting Dong Dong ride alone, so you should watch him. Just let the little soldier over there teach me, I should be able to learn it quickly."
This time was not like when she rode a horse before, with all the equipment including helmet, protective vest, knee pads, boots, etc., and without any safety measures, she didn't dare let the child ride the horse alone.
Xiao Yu knew An Hua's style of raising children, so he didn't argue with her. He nodded and said, "Then don't ride it yet. I'll watch him ride for a while and then I'll teach you."
"Yeah." An Huan responded, but after Xiao Xiao said that, she turned around and asked the young soldier to bring her horse over.
"Sister-in-law, this is a mare I picked. It has a very gentle personality and is suitable for you to ride. Before riding, you can feed it with beans and cultivate a relationship with it..." As he said this, the young soldier handed An Hua a small bowl of black beans.
An Hua is familiar with horses and is very skilled at feeding them.
The young soldier praised her, "Many female soldiers are afraid when they first meet them, but you are so brave, you can tell at a glance that you are a heroine."
An Hua smiled, "You are quite good at talking. Do many people come to this horse farm to ride horses?"
The young soldier chuckled and said, "No, no, I'm telling the truth." He then replied, "There are indeed quite a few people riding horses, but they are all family members of our division. Outsiders are not allowed in."
An Hua asked him, "What's your name? How many years have you been in the army? Do you specialize in raising horses?"
The young soldier replied, "My name is Zhang Jingshan, and this is my second year in the army. My father is the mule manager in our production team, so I followed him every day and learned how to raise animals. When I first joined the army, the leader heard that I could raise animals, so he assigned me to raise pigs, and later transferred me to a horse farm."
Speaking of this, Zhang Jingshan regretted it deeply. If he had known earlier, he would not have told his leader that he could raise livestock. Otherwise, maybe he would have been assigned to an infantry company, a communications company, or even an artillery company like the others! It’s not that raising livestock is bad, but being a serious soldier will give you a lot of opportunities!
Zhang Jingshan has a lively personality and is talkative. He teaches horse riding in great detail and chatters all the time.
An Hua knew how to ride, but she didn't know a lot of the unpopular knowledge points that Zhang Jingshan talked about, so she listened very carefully.
After a while, An Hua started trotting on the horse.
Xiao Chen noticed it and quickly left his son behind and ran over, "You know it now?"
In Xiao's fantasy, An Hua should be trembling with fear when she sees a horse, not daring to ride one, and then he can ride on the same horse with her, he holds her, and she nestles in his arms...
How come you can do it so quickly? ?
Xiao Xiao looked at the young soldier Zhang Jingshan.
Zhang Jingshan puffed out his chest excitedly! Although the master's sister-in-law is not very good at riding horses, it should be attributed to his teaching at least.
Deputy Commander Xiao will definitely praise him!
Unexpectedly, he waited for a long time, but Deputy Commander Xiao didn't even open his mouth. Instead, he looked at him meaningfully, and finally a... hum came out of his nostrils.
What is he humming? ?
At this time, An Hua had already run a circle, reined in her horse and stopped in front of Xiao Chen, raised her chin and said proudly, "Am I awesome?"
Xiao Yu immediately changed his expression, gave a thumbs up and said, "Great! You are worthy of being my wife!"
"Mom, I want to ride a big horse too!" Dongdong over there envied his mother's big horse.
An Hua waved for him to come over, and then said to Xiao Chen: "Put him on my horse and I'll take him for a run."
Xiao Yu: “…” What else can I do? I can only do it.
Dongdong sat in front of his mother, and Anhua whipped the horse lightly, and the horse started running. Dongdong opened his arms and screamed and laughed excitedly.
Xiao Qi's eyes turned red. Originally, he and his wife were supposed to ride on the same horse.
He snorted at Zhang Jingshan again.
Zhang Jingshan: ...Wuwuwuwu, what on earth is he humming? ! !
