Zhao Fengnian wasn't afraid, because he knew his mother's temper.
He ran up to his mother and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Hehe, Mother. I knew you were here, that's why I came."
The first thing Zhao Wanzi did when she got home was to collect the eggs, because if she was late, the chickens would definitely trample them.
He Shitou seemed preoccupied with something on his mind, and his work appeared somewhat absent-minded. His eyes kept glancing towards He Tiantian.
When He Tiantian looked over, He Shitou quickly dodged away.
After this happened four or five times, He Tiantian couldn't take it anymore.
Her needlework was already poor, and He Shitou's distraction caused her to prick the needle several times in a short while.
He Tiantian threw down her needlework and shouted in a loud voice, "Stone!"
He Shitou immediately put down the broom he was holding and ran over quickly.
"What's up, sister?"
He Tiantian said with a bit of a laugh, "Shouldn't I be the one asking you what's wrong? You seem so absent-minded this morning, is there something you want to say?"
In the courtyard, everyone looked at He Shitou. Even Tao Shi put down her needlework.
He Shitou's dark face turned bright red. He had something to say, but he didn't know how to say it.
After a moment of hesitation, he slowly asked, "Sister, didn't you ask me what my dream was before?"
He Tiantian nodded. "What's wrong? Isn't your dream to get married?"
"Pfft..." Zhao Wanzi picked up the eggs and almost fell over laughing when she heard this.
"No, no... I said that when I was young and impetuous." He Shitou waved his hands repeatedly.
Well done, you even used the phrase "young and impetuous." Looks like you've been learning a lot from Mr. Xu lately.
He Tiantian looked at He Shitou, waiting for him to continue.
"I...I want to raise horses with Xiaohe and be a groom."
He Tiantian looked at He Shitou with confusion, "Raising horses? You mean... how many horses do you plan to raise? Where will you raise them? How will you raise them? What will happen after you raise them?"
The series of questions left He Shitou completely bewildered.
Do we really need to consider all this?
Seeing He Shitou's bewildered look, He Tiantian knew that this matter was ill-considered.
She paused for a moment, lowered her tone, and offered some advice.
"Stone, it's good that you want to raise horses with Xiaohe. You can invite Xiaohe over to your house sometime to talk about what you plan to do with the horses."
He Shitou thought for a moment, "Xiaohe also said that raising horses can be sold. That way, you can earn a lot of money. Sister, the carriage you bought cost fifty or sixty taels of silver, right? If we started by raising foals, they wouldn't be that expensive, would they?"
After hearing what He Shitou said, He Tiantian probably understood what he meant.
"You two mean you're going to buy ponies, raise them, and then sell them when they're grown up?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" He Shitou nodded repeatedly. It was that simple a meaning, so why couldn't he express it clearly?
“That’s a good idea. So, how do you plan to get started?” He Tiantian continued to ask.
