Xiao Yao nodded and smiled, Yang Cheng nodded Xiao Yao's head and continued: "Before getting on the horse, put the saddle first, be sure to check whether the belly strap has been tightened, check the tightness of the reins, belly belt, and pedals, and adjust the length of the pedals." When getting on the horse, you must get on the horse from the left front of the horse, and whether there is anyone leading the horse or not, you must hold on to the reins in order to control the horse in time. Once on the horse, sit down gently and don't put your butt on the horse's waist, so that the horse will know that you can't ride and bully you. ”

Yang Cheng paused for a moment and said, "When you sit on the back of the horse, you should sit on the back of the horse, straighten your waist, and look ahead." Do not put the whole foot into the stirrup, as long as the forefoot is on the foot, otherwise the foot will not be able to get out of the stirrup in case of danger. When you sit upright on the horse, you should stretch your chest and back straight, keep your big arms and upper body together, and your small arms and bridles should be in a straight line from all angles. When you are ready to start running, swing the reins, and swinging the reins is also skillful, and you need to practice a lot to swing well. When the horse is running fast, you should stand and sit on the vibrating saddle, stand up with the strength of your legs against the horse's belly, and relax your hips while your calves are close to the horse's belly. When dismounting, the right foot is out of the stirrup, stretch the right leg and step over the horse's hips, and never touch the horse's buttocks, which is easy to cause the horse to be frightened, causing the horse to suddenly run or jump, which is very dangerous. Got it? ”

Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, very satisfied, I learned, hehe.

"Little ghost, you're still stealing fun." Yang Cheng smiled and pinched Xiao Yao's face, came over for a while and then came to the resting place, Yang Cheng parked the carriage, picked up Xiao Yao, and got out of the car. Zhang Suniang also got out of the car, took out dry food and water, and the family began to have lunch. After finishing my meal, I took a break and started on my road again.

Xiao Yao didn't sit in front of her in the afternoon, but slept in the car. Yang Cheng arrived at a small town when the sun went down, parked the carriage in front of a simple restaurant, and took Zhang Suniang and Xiao Yao in for dinner, saying that after the meal, he would drive another 1 hour to get home, and he didn't need to prepare food when he went back, and he could rest directly.

When she was on her way again after eating, Xiao Yao fell asleep not long after getting into the car. When Yang Cheng stopped the car again, the sky was already dark and numb, Yang Cheng led the carriage into the yard, Zhang Suniang picked up Xiao Yao, who was still asleep, and entered the house, put it on the bed and covered it with a quilt, and then came out to clean up the house.

Xiao Yao had no dreams all night, and it was already dawn when she slept. When they woke up, Yang Cheng and his wife had already gotten up, and the room was very simple, with a large wooden cabinet on one side of the bed, a dresser and a stool, and a curtain hanging at the door. Xiao Yao rolled around the bed twice, and saw Zhang Suniang come in and call at Zhang Suniang coquettishly, "Mother".

Zhang Suniang came over to dress Xiao Yao, patted her little buttocks and said, "Don't lie in bed, get up for breakfast." Then he picked up a towel to help Xiao Yao wipe his face, and then carried Xiao Yao out of the room.

The weather outside is very good, the sky is blue, and it is also very quiet, and there is a small square table in the yard with steamed buns, porridge, pickles, and three pairs of bowls and chopsticks. Zhang Suniang hugged Xiao Yao and fed Xiao Yao breakfast, and Yang Cheng also started eating. When Xiao Yao had eaten, Yang Cheng had already eaten and was waiting, picked up Xiao Yao and walked around the yard, and said to Xiao Yao: "Look, this is our little home."

It was a small courtyard with two rooms, a kitchen, and outside the kitchen door was neatly stacked with wood, presumably firewood, and a well in front of it, and the ground was paved with stone bricks. A rope was pulled in the corner of the doorway, presumably to dry clothes. On the other side, a small plot of land was planted with sparse vegetables. Then go out to the gate of the courtyard. There was a big tree outside the courtyard, and it was all sticking out. I faintly heard the voice of the neighbor next to me. The courtyard wall is not very high, only about 1.6 meters. Xiao Yao is now being held upright and can see what the neighbors are doing. On one side there was an old woman cleaning the yard, and on the other side a child was scratching the ground with a twig.

Suddenly, a head stuck out on the wall of the courtyard, and when he saw Yang Cheng holding Xiao Yao in the courtyard, he said happily and loudly, "Uncle Yang, you're back." Then he went down again, and then he heard a knock at the door. Yang Cheng went to open the door and let the boy in.

This is a boy about 10 years old, with hair wrapped in cloth on his head, big eyes, yellow face, thin, and malnourished, and the boy said loudly to Yang Cheng while jumping: "Uncle Yang, you are back, it's been 7 days." I miss you, ah, who is this little sister? ”

Yang Cheng hugged Xiao Yao and squatted down and said to the smiling boy: "This is my daughter, called Da Niu, you can help Uncle Yang take care of the little sister in the future, okay?" ”

"Of course, she is Uncle Yang's daughter, my sister." The boy clapped his chest with joy and said loudly. Yang Cheng stretched out his hand and patted the boy's head, and then said to Xiao Yao: "Big girl, this is Zhang Kun, Brother Kunzi, he is the elder brother." ”

"Ah, ah," Xiao Yao waved at the boy. Brother Kun grabbed Xiao Yao's hand with both hands and said, "Sister, I'll play with you." ”

Then I heard an old woman's voice say, "You're here to disturb your Uncle Yang again, your Uncle Yang has just come back, and he has a lot to do." Why don't you hurry up and go to Zhang Xiucai's? Late". The old woman who had just been cleaning appeared at the door, and said to Yang Cheng with a smile: "Chengzi, you're back, everything is going well." ”

Yang Cheng nodded and said, "Everything is fine, Aunt Zhang." This is my daughter. ”

Aunt Zhang took two steps forward, picked up Xiao Yao, and said to Yang Cheng with a smile: "Okay, this girl is good, it's good to come to the girl first and then to the son." ”

Yang Cheng scratched his head and smirked.

"You will remember to take Su Niang and this little baby to meet Zhang Xiucai, I will go back first, just call me if there is anything." Aunt Zhang said with a smile, and then took Brother Kun out of the door, Yang Cheng nodded and responded.

After a while, Zhang Suniang came out of the yard with two bags of things and said loudly, "Brother Cheng, I'm ready to go." ”

"Okay," Yang Cheng replied loudly, "I'm outside the door." ”

Zhang Suniang came to the door with her things, put down her things and locked the door, and walked out of the alley with Yang Cheng, who was holding Xiao Yao, with her things. There was a big tree at the mouth of the alley, and its branches stretched widely. The street outside is very wide, and it is also very lively, people come and go, the couple greets people while walking, and after two intersections, they turn into the alley, and gradually hear the sound of reading, stop in front of a courtyard gate where the sound of reading comes out, and then knock on the door.

The door opened, only to see that it was Brother Kun who opened the door, Brother Kun greeted Yang Cheng and Zhang Suniang with a smile: "Uncle Yang, Aunt Yang, sister, you are here, come in." ”
