He Tiantian didn't intend for the innocent children to know so much.
So he asked Zhao Xiaohe, "What happened next? Who found out about this?"
Zhao Xiaohe suddenly lowered his voice, sounding very mysterious.
"It was Er Gou's mother who found out. Aunt Liu couldn't do anything about Er Gou, so she asked my dad for help."
Um... They were born to the same parents, so why is there such a big difference between Zhao Da Gou and Zhao Er Gou?
It's likely that this second dog inherited more of his father's temperament.
Zhao Xiaolu was older, and her face flushed slightly as she listened. She quickly left.
"Dinner is ready, I'll go get it."
"I'm going too!" He Shitou stumbled and rushed out.
The others naturally stopped talking about it, and everyone went about their business, serving their food and washing their hands.
Dinner was very lavish; three fried chickens were served in a basket.
The golden-brown fried chicken emitted an enticing aroma, and everyone sitting on their small stools couldn't help but stare intently at the chicken on the table.
Previously prized foods like white rice and scrambled eggs are no longer important in the face of fried chicken.
"Slurp..." He Shitou asked, his mouth watering. "Can we start eating now?"
"Eat up! Everyone, eat up!" He Tiantian tore off a large chicken leg and put it in Zhao Xiaohe's bowl.
"Xiaohe, you need to eat more, you're too thin."
"Thank you, Auntie." Zhao Xiaohe took the chicken leg and took a big bite, filling her mouth with it, looking very happy.
The big chicken leg was divided up by the children, and the adults ate some chicken neck, chicken head, and some meat from the chicken.
No one spoke at the dinner table; everyone was just looking down and gnawing on their chicken.
"Huffing and puffing..."
"Crack, crack..."
Even a scholar like Xu Qingyun couldn't help but eat an extra bowl of rice.
He had never cared about food before, but ever since he came to the He family, the meals have been so good that they have made him have an enormous appetite.
In her previous life, He Tiantian ate a lot of junk food, such as spicy strips, cola, hamburgers, and fried chicken, which were all very ordinary.
But she was so tempted that she couldn't resist eating a few more pieces of meat.
The three chickens were quickly stripped bare, and apart from some large bones that couldn't be chewed, the smaller bones on the table were all chewed up and eaten.
Poor Wujin and Coconut spent the entire mealtime under the table guarding the bones, but they didn't even get to gnaw on a few.
After the meal, everyone had their own things to do.
It was completely dark outside when He Tiantian went to discuss planting vegetables behind the house with her father.
Zhao Wanzi, Zhao Xiaolu, and Zhao Mingzhu were playing in the house, while He Shitou escorted Zhao Xiaohe home.
The two boys weren't afraid of the darkness outside, and walked arm in arm along the village path.
He Shitou patted Zhao Xiaohe's thin shoulder and said, "Xiaohe, from now on I'm your older brother. I have to protect you in this village."
Zhao Xiaohe immediately retorted, "That won't do, I have an older brother. My older brother is older than you, so how about I call you second brother!"
He Shitou thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, if you need anything in the future, just let your second brother know, and I'll definitely help you."
Zhao Xiaohe immediately stopped in his tracks, his eyes shining brighter than the stars in the sky.
"real?"
"How could it be fake!"
As if seeing a glimmer of hope, Zhao Xiaohe asked, "Second Brother, do you like horses?"
Zhao Xiaohe had a great time riding horses today, and he was very happy.
He Shitou immediately nodded, "I like it, of course I like it!"
What man doesn't like horses? If he did, would he still be a man?
Zhao Xiaohe's eyes sparkled as she excitedly asked, "Brother Shitou, how about we go into horse breeding together? I mean, a lot of horses. The kind we can sell at the market..."
"What?" He Shitou was stunned by Zhao Xiaohe's bold idea.
Raising lots and lots of horses? My God, he could hardly believe it.
Zhao Xiaohe's dream of becoming a horse trader has always been lurking within him, and now he just wants to find a like-minded person to get rich together.
"Brother Stone, think about it, how much did Aunt He's horse cost? It must have been very expensive, right?"
He Shitou nodded, "Of course, fifty or sixty taels of silver!"
It was an astronomical figure. Every time he saw that horse, he felt as if it were covered in silver.
Zhao Xiaohe patted his shirt and agreed, "That's right! Brother Shi, think about it, if we raise horses, we can make a profit even if we only sell one!"
Moreover, this wasn't something Zhao Xiaohe did on a whim; he had shared his thoughts with his brother Zhao Yan some time ago.
Brother Zhao Yan said, "There are 360 professions, and every profession can produce an expert."
This means that life is not just about taking exams; studying and taking exams are related, but not necessarily related.
For example, if he wants to raise horses, studying and learning arithmetic will enable him to keep accounts in the future and avoid being cheated.
Zhao Xiaohe then recounted to He Shitou everything that his brother Zhao Yan had told him.
This made He Shitou, who was initially wavering, suddenly become more determined.
Since all the scholars say this is feasible, then it must be feasible.
"Little River Brother, where can we buy this foal? We don't have any money!" He Shitou hit the nail on the head.
Zhao Xiaohe continued, "It's not just about the money to buy foals; we also need to build a stable. But we can start with three or four horses; the space doesn't need to be too big."
But even in the pony pen, there's nowhere for the two of them!
