Ta-ta-ta-ta...
The sound of horse hooves came from far away and came towards the direction of the general's mansion. The guards at the gate and Yang Haiyan heard it. Not only did they hear it, but a certain child also heard it. So, the child also looked in that direction.
Then, a familiar figure slowly approached. He was riding on a horse. His tall figure would always stand out from the crowd no matter where he was.
"Ah...ah..." Qin Linyang pointed at his father excitedly, or maybe he didn't recognize his father, he was pointing at the horse. It was the first time that Qin Linyang saw a horse, and he was probably excited because of it. So, seeing the horse, Qin Linyang trotted towards the horse. Yang Haiyan followed behind slowly, not afraid of her son falling. When children learn to walk, it is okay to fall a few times. Besides, boys are not so delicate. If it is a girl, she will worry about leaving scars. She should be delicate.
Besides, how could the child fall in the stroller?
Qin Linyang's short legs walked slowly, swaying from side to side, looking very cute. Children over one year old are the most active and lively. Because they see little, they are curious about everything they see. When Qin Fang saw the general's mansion, he saw his son and daughter-in-law at the door. He hadn't seen them for several days, and he couldn't help missing them. Now that he saw them, he couldn't help but ask Wu Shuai to go faster. However, he had no idea that his son would actually run towards him. Qin Fang thought, I shouldn't always bully him in the future.
Seeing his son running, Qin Fang stopped moving and waited for his son to come over at a distance of ten meters.
For Qin Fang, the distance of ten steps was only ten steps, but it took Qin Linyang a long time to get there. When he arrived in front of Qin Fang, he raised his head, looked at Qin Fang sitting on the horse, and then looked at such a big horse. The little guy was also very brave. He held the walker and approached Wu Shuai, then stretched out his hand... The hand he just stretched out retracted again. He stared at Wu Shuai for a while, and then stretched out his hand again. When he stretched out his hand, he giggled. He stretched out his hand very slowly, a little afraid, but also a little curious. He finally touched Wu Shuai's horse leg, and then retracted it.
Then, he continued to stare at Wu Shuai.
"This is a horse, called Wu Shuai." Yang Haiyan walked to his son, held his hand, and took him to touch Wu Shuai. "Don't be afraid, Wu Shuai won't hurt you."
Horses are very spiritual animals. Generally speaking, if the owner has raised it for more than one year, it can establish a familiar and trusting relationship with the owner. The Qin family has raised it for three or four years. During this period, many good things were secretly fed to it by Yang Haiyan, so it is very close to the hostess.
Qin Linyang sleeps with Yang Haiyan every day, and his mother's aura is all over his body, so how could Wu Shuai hurt him? Not to mention that the horse's IQ is not low, it is said that it has the IQ of a five or six-year-old child, so this IQ is higher than Qin Linyang's.
Because his mother is with him, Qin Linyang is bolder. He touches the horse for a long time without retracting his hand, and smiles to his mother: "Mom..."
Yang Haiyan: "This is Wu Shuai, its name is Wu Shuai."
Wu Shuai heard the hostess call it, and rubbed the hostess intimately.
"Handsome... Handsome..." Qin Linyang can only say one word at a time, and the word handsome is pronounced quite clearly.
"Yes, call me Wu Shuai, baby is awesome."
Qin Linyang was very proud when he heard his mother's praise.
Qin Fang: "Let's go to the horse farm in two days and let him get familiar with Hong Shuai's son. He hasn't seen those foals for half a year."
Yang Haiyan said: "When the time comes, bring Hong Shuai's son back to raise him." She raised her head and looked at Qin Fang. Seeing his dark circles and tired face, she felt distressed. "You must be tired these days. Go back and have a rest."
Qin Fang did not object. He was indeed tired and had not slept much. "Yeah." As he said that, he stretched out his hand to little Qin Linyang, "Son, come here."
Little Qin Linyang was often lifted up by his father. When he saw the posture of his hands stretched out, he thought he was going to be lifted up, so he immediately stretched out his hand to Qin Fang.
Yang Haiyan saw this and said, "His butt is tender, you should pad it with something."
Qin Fang took out a handkerchief from the saddle bag, which he usually used to wipe his face, and put it on the horse's back.
Yang Haiyan saw this and took her son out of the stroller.
When little Qin Linyang was in his father's arms, he thought he was going to be lifted up high, but his father put him on the horse's back and held him with one hand: "Are you happy?"
The view on horseback was completely different. Little Qin Linyang touched the horse's back and was happier than if he was lifted up high: "Handsome..."
Qin Fang looked at his silly son and couldn't help but touch his head: "This is Wu Shuai. Dad has another horse called Hong Shuai. Hong Shuai has a son, but he hasn't been named yet. You can choose him."
Little Qin Linyang, who didn't understand, raised his head in his father's arms and looked at his father's black chin, which was actually a beard. He called out: "Dad...handsome..."
Puff... Qin Fang laughed, taking his son's words as a compliment.
Yang Haiyan said, "The first batch of apples at home have matured in the past two days. They are quite sweet. This guy can eat an apple paste every day." As she said that, she handed the apple that her son had eaten to Qin Fang, "Try it." She also used a spoon to scrape the apple paste, so the apple was clean. Besides, the old father would not dislike something that his son had eaten.
Qin Fang naturally would not dislike it, so he took a bite: "Sweet." He rarely had the opportunity to eat apples. The last time he ate apples was when he was at the border. Yang Haiyan bought wild apples in the county. Qin Fang had forgotten what they tasted like, but this apple tasted very sweet and had a lot of water.
Little Qin Linyang watched his father eat an apple, which was his food. So he stretched out his little hand to grab the apple from his father's hand, shouting: "Eat...eat..."
Qin Fang put the bitten apple to his son's mouth, but unfortunately his son could only lick it with his tongue and couldn't bite it off. Qin Fang laughed and finished the apple in two bites.
Little Qin Linyang licked his lips and didn't cry. He sat on the horse, feeling very happy. If it was usual, he would definitely cry if his food was eaten up.
When he arrived at the mansion, Qin Fang went to take a bath first, and the food was already being prepared in the kitchen. When Qin Fang finished taking a bath, the food was ready. While he was eating, Yang Haiyan and her son sat beside him to accompany him.
However, the little guy was making a fuss again. Seeing his father eating, he opened his mouth and wanted to eat too. Qin Fang saw this and took a small piece of tofu from the cold tofu and fed it to him. The tofu was soft and a little bit cold, but not icy. The little guy wanted to eat a second bite after the first one.
Yang Haiyan: "How was it this time? Did the barbarian escape?"
When it came to business, Qin Fang told the story from beginning to end: "... Now, I don't know the situation of the barbarians. After all, it has been several days since we followed them to the bottom of the cliff, which is enough for the barbarians to eliminate their traces and escape. However, it is not important whether these barbarians can be caught. What is important is who told the barbarians about transporting gunpowder to the Yongzhou military camp. But this is not something I should worry about. The teachers will take care of the affairs of the court." While saying this, he did not forget to pick up tofu for his son. Qin Fang did not dare to pick up too much. He only picked up a piece as big as a fingernail each time and let the child pass it.
Yang Haiyan said: "Don't worry, the teacher is here." To be precise, there is no need to worry with Han Zhen here. The hero is from Qi State, so God naturally favors Qi State. At least when the hero is alive, Qi State will not have any accidents. Even if there are accidents, the hero has the ability to deal with them, so they can rest assured.
Qin Fang went to bed after dinner. He was really tired these days. Even a strong body could not withstand a few days of sleeplessness. Qin Linyang became his father's follower and wanted to follow his father. Qin Fang just took him to bed, and the result was... the child looked at his father with his big eyes innocently. Aren't you going to ride a horse? Why are you sleeping?
The child lay in his father's arms, his smart eyes turning around, and suddenly he thought of an idea. He got up from the bed and sat on his father, just like riding a horse. A man's body is not as soft as a woman's. Qin Linyang has also sat on his mother, but it is obviously not as comfortable as his father's. Sitting on his father's body is just like riding a horse. He swung his calves and said, "Handsome... handsome..."
Yang Haiyan came in and saw her son sitting on his father, calling him handsome all the time. "Don't disturb your father's sleep. Mom will take you to play." She went over and handed the bun down.
"Mom..." Qin Linyang looked at his mother in a daze.
Yang Haiyan said, "If you like horses, mom will make you a big wooden horse that you can ride on, okay?"
Qin Linyang blinked and smiled.
Yang Haiyan said, "I will just smile foolishly."
After coaxing her son to sleep, she went to draw the picture of the wooden horse. Of course, she was not an expert in this field, and her drawing was not very good, but as long as the meaning was expressed clearly, it would be fine.
The wooden horse drawing Yang Haiyan drew was the same as the small tricycles that children ride today. The small tricycles were particularly popular in the □□ era. They had one wheel in the front and two wheels in the back, and children especially liked to ride them.
After she finished drawing, she asked Nanny Lian to look after her son, and took the mother-in-law to the woodworking workshop.
Yang Haiyan was an old customer of the woodworking workshop. Because of Yang Haiyan's relationship, this woodworking workshop became the most famous in Yunxiang County, and its business was also good. The wooden statues of the emperor, the step-by-step cars, etc. were all made here.
"General's wife, you are here." The owner of the woodworking workshop came out to greet Yang Haiyan in person. The owner is also an old master here, but now he rarely comes out in person, but he must make the things for the general's mansion himself.
Yang Haiyan gave the drawings to the owner and described the characteristics of the tricycle, otherwise the owner might not understand the things on her drawings.
After leaving the woodworking workshop, Yang Haiyan went shopping again. This time, she bought a lot of things. Women have always been unrestrained when shopping.
When she returned to the general's mansion, she heard her son's laughter when she arrived at the gate of the yard. She would not let her son sleep too long during the day, for fear that the little guy would not be able to sleep at night. But judging from the time she was shopping, it was indeed time for her son to be woken up.
Walking into the yard, she saw the father and son playing.
Qin Fang turned around and looked at her: "Are you back?"
Little Qin Linyang: "Mom..."
Yang Haiyan looked at the big and the small. Although her son's facial features resembled hers, his eyes were exactly the same as Qin Fang's. Both of them were looking at her, and Yang Haiyan couldn't help but feel happy: "I'm back, and I brought you some cakes." As she said that, she took the cakes to the table and chairs on the side. Although the family occasionally makes cakes, there are not as many varieties as in the shop, so they often go out to buy.
Seeing this, Nanny Lian went back to get a plate.
Qin Fang picked up his son: "Eat cakes."
Little Qin Linyang said loudly: "Eat..." Another word, concise and clear.
Several kinds of cakes were taken out and placed on the plate. Although Qin Fang had eaten before going to bed, he felt a little hungry again after a nap. Qin Linyang's stomach is unrestrained. Even if he is not hungry, he will eat if adults feed him. Although his little mouth is constantly eating, he actually eats small meals frequently, and the amount he eats each time is very small, just to satisfy his mouth.
Qin Fang: "I have a day off tomorrow and will take Xiao Baozi to the horse farm. Why don't you go and choose a horse, Yanyan?"
Yang Haiyan has never ridden a horse since she came to ancient times. After hearing what Qin Fang said, she missed it a little. She said, "Why don't we go to the horse farm for a picnic."
"Picnic?" Qin Fang didn't understand what he meant.
Yang Haiyan explained: "It means an outing. Bring food and friends. Since they are all family members, there is no need to be shy. Bring grandpa and grandma, as well as Si Ya, Shouye and Niu Dan." The couple of Daya and the couple of Erya live in the staff yard of the Royal Grain Factory, and the couple of Sanya live with Uncle Qin and his family. There are not many people in the general's mansion now.
Qin Fang originally wanted to take time to accompany his son and daughter-in-law, a family of three, but since his daughter-in-law wanted to bring her family, he naturally would not refuse. "I listen to you."
So in the afternoon, everyone knew that they would go to the horse farm for an outing tomorrow. Speaking of it, this is the first time since they came to Yunxiang County, so the few people who were notified are still quite happy. Even Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin were a little happy. Although they are old, they also want to go out and see the world.
That night, the servants in the general's mansion were busy preparing things for the outing tomorrow. Everyone got up early the next morning. After breakfast, everyone got on the carriage.
Qin Fang and Qin Shouye rode horses, and the rest of the people were in carriages. Niu Dan, Grandpa Qin, and Grandma Qin were in one carriage, Qin Siya, Yang Haiyan, little Qin Linyang, and Nanny Lian were in one carriage, and there were one or two remaining carriages carrying maids and some materials.
When they were almost at the city gate, Qin Shouye suddenly stopped and said to the crowd on one side: "Miss Xu."
