Tian Dahua wanted to say, "How can we not tie it up?" but she didn't dare. So she nudged Han Gui.
Han Gui was too embarrassed to mention Xiaoman, so he looked at Han Bin and said, "Binzi, Dabao is your own nephew."
The others wanted to see if Han Bin would continue to indulge Xiaoman, so they remained silent.
Han Bin looked at Xiaoman and then at Xiaohei: "Xiaoman, that stable is quite nice. I'll tie Xiaohei up there."
Tang Huihui: That's more like it.
Han Dashan: Even if it's not good, we still have to tie it up.
Grandma Han: Do I need to coax her?
Tian Dahua: Tie it up quickly. If you don't, I... I'll take the children back to my parents' home.
Han Gui: How did Binzi's wedding turn out like this? He's not manly at all.
Han Zhuang: So, my second brother can be this gentle.
Xiaoman ignored Han Bin: "Xiao Hei, go and get your basin."
Little Black turned and went to the stable. A moment later, it returned carrying its own bowl.
The Han family was stunned.
There was a stone table in the courtyard. Xiaoman pointed to the stone table, and Xiaohei put the basin on the stone table.
Xiaoman: "Go and get the milk powder."
Xiao Hei turned and went to Xiao Man's room. A moment later, it came out with a bag of milk powder.
The Han family members were even more stunned.
Xiaoman went to the kitchen and fetched a kettle of water to make a basin of milk for Xiaohei. After making it, she stirred it for a while. "Drink it."
Xiao Hei glanced at the Han family and then started drinking in large gulps.
Seeing Xiao Hei drinking so happily, Da Ni bit her finger and sidled up to Xiao Man: "Second Aunt, what is it drinking?"
"milk powder."
"Is it good?"
"good."
Da Ni sucked her finger: "Second Aunt, I want to drink it too."
Xiaoman looked at her hand: "If you don't suck your fingers, I'll give you the drink."
Da Ni quickly took her finger out of her mouth: "I'm not sucking anymore."
"Sweetie, go to the kitchen and get two bowls."
"good."
A moment later, Da Ni returned. She brought not only two bowls but also two spoons. "Second Aunt, here you go."
"Good boy." There was a stool next to the stone table. Xiaoman pointed to it.
Da Ni obediently sat down: "Second Aunt, I'm all set."
"Okay." Xiaoman poured a bowl for Dani: "Blow on it before you drink it."
"Okay." After blowing on it for a while, Da Ni took a small bite. After tasting it, she smiled and said, "Second Aunt, it's delicious."
"If it smells good, drink more."
"Um."
The two men and the horse sat around the stone table, drinking with great relish.
The others were still in a daze. Da Bao couldn't hold back any longer: "Mom, I want to drink too. Mom, I want to drink too."
“This…” Tian Dahua looked at Xiaoman, but Xiaoman ignored her.
Da Bao squirmed in Han Gui's arms: "Dad, I want to drink too."
Han Gui looked at Han Bin. Han Bin took Da Bao from Han Gui's arms and said, "Da Bao, you're a boy. If you want a drink, just tell your second aunt yourself. Don't let your parents tell her for you. Look at Da Ni, she told her herself. Come on, tell your second aunt yourself."
Da Bao was a little scared.
Han Bin patted Da Bao's head: "Look, Da Ni is drinking so happily."
Da Bao looked at Xiao Man, then at Da Ni. Finally, his desire for food overcame his timidity: "Second Aunt, I want some too."
Xiaoman smiled and said, "Sweetie, go get a bowl."
"Why."
Xiaoman made a bowl for Dabao: "Let it cool down before you drink it."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie."
Xiaoman patted his head: "Good boy."
Han Bin sat down next to Xiao Man: "Xiao Man, is Xiao Hei intelligent?"
"Um."
Tian Dahua: "Then why is it kicking Dabao?"
Xiaoman glanced at her: "Do other horses understand human nature too?"
Tian Dahua didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
Xiaoman ignored her.
Han Bin: "Xiaoman means that Xiaohei is intelligent, while other horses are not. Dabao is still young. Even if you tell him that Xiaohei is different from other horses, and that if he touches other horses, they will kick him, Dabao won't remember. What if Dabao gets used to touching Xiaohei and runs over to touch other horses as well?"
"But...you can't kick him! What if you scare the child?"
Xiaoman looked at Dabao and said, "If you're not scared, I'll give you a chicken leg for lunch today. If you are scared, I won't give you a chicken leg for lunch today."
Da Bao was a little scared at first. But when he heard that he was scared and wouldn't get any chicken legs, he wasn't scared anymore: "Second Aunt, I'm not scared."
"Here'll give you a chicken leg."
"Thank you, Second Aunt."
Da Ni: "Second Aunt, I also want Xiao Hei to kick me."
Xiaoman smiled and said, "You want to eat chicken legs too?"
"Um."
Xiaoman patted her head: "I'll give you two chicken drumsticks for lunch today. You don't need to let Xiaohei kick you."
Da Ni's eyes widened in surprise: "Two?"
"Um."
Da Ni still couldn't believe it: "Give me two, and give my brother one?"
"Um."
Tian Dahua favored boys over girls. If there was anything delicious, she would always let her son eat first, and only let her daughter eat after her son was full.
Dani was overjoyed. "Thank you, Second Aunt."
Da Bao was unhappy. Looking at Xiao Man, he loudly asked, "Second Aunt, why did you give Da Ni two?"
Xiaoman: "Did your mother tell you to stay away from Xiaohei?"
Da Bao stopped talking.
Da Ni: "Yes."
Xiaoman looked at Dabao and asked, "Do you have any?"
Da Bao whispered "yes".
Xiaoman: "Da Ni was obedient and didn't touch Xiao Hei. So I gave her two chicken legs. You were disobedient, and not only did you get kicked by Xiao Hei, you only got one chicken leg."
"Then...then I'll be obedient."
"You didn't listen to me just now."
“Then…” Da Bao thought for a moment, “Then I will be obedient from now on.”
"If you behave well from now on, you'll be like Da Ni. You can only have one this time."
Da Bao blinked: "It used to be me, the youngest."
"To me, you're the same as Da Ni. If you don't want to, I won't give you either."
"Oh well."
Tian Dahua: That's it? Before, if Dabao asked her for something and she didn't give it to him, Dabao would lie on the ground and roll around in a rage.
She didn't know. Children's intuition is often more accurate than adults'. Da Bao knew he was just being dramatic, and Xiao Man wouldn't pay him any attention.
Han Dashan looked at the milk on the table and then at Xiao Hei: No wonder it survived and grew so strong.
Tang Huihui: The money spent on baby formula could buy another horse.
Grandma Han: Isn't drinking some rice porridge enough? Young people just don't know how to manage their lives.
Han Gui: Two chickens and two bowls of milk were enough to win over my son and daughter?
Han Zhuang: Second brother is really lucky. He got a wife and she even came with a horse. The horse is also intelligent.
After Xiaoman and the others finished drinking their milk, the Han family ate breakfast.
After dinner, Grandma Han called Han Bin and Xiaoman into her room for a chat. Finally, Grandma Han looked at Xiaoman and said, "Your sister-in-law used to do all the cooking, but now that you're married into the family, you and your sister-in-law can take turns. You one day, she one day."
Xiaoman frowned. She had never even been inside the Prince's mansion's kitchen.
Grandma Han: "That's how it is in the village."
Xiaoman knows: "Okay."
Han Bin: "I'll help you wash the dishes." All the girls in the village can cook, and he had eaten Xiaoman's roasted rabbit before, so he assumed that Xiaoman could cook too.
He didn't know that Xiaoman used to frequently run errands for the Empress. Sometimes she couldn't bring anyone with her, nor could she go out to buy food. So Xiaoman learned to barbecue from the imperial chef. That way, she could carry some seasonings with her when she was out on official business.
Grandma Han thought for a moment and said, "You're going back to your parents' home tomorrow, so let's start from the day after tomorrow."
Xiaoman: "Okay."
