Yang Cheng took the family to live at Lao Ma's house for one night, and when it was dawn, he got up, and after breakfast, under the enthusiasm and politeness of Lao Ma, he brought a lot of dried pork, dried spores, and rabbit skins.

Yang Cheng waved goodbye to the old horse family with his family, and drove the carriage on the road again, leisurely, clattering, Xiao Yao played by himself in the car for a while, felt bored and slept leisurely, woke up, felt that the car was not fun, and climbed the door curtain.

Zhang Suniang hurriedly hugged Xiao Yao back, nodded her forehead and said, "Little naughty, sit down, you will fall out." ”

Xiao Yao pointed outside and said to Zhang Suniang, "Mother, come out."

Zhang Suniang looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Want to go out?" Your dad is out in the car, he can't take care of you, good boy, you can get out of the car and rest later. ”

Xiao Yao looked at Zhang Suniang pitifully and tearfully, Zhang Suniang looked at Xiao Yao like this, her heart softened, and said, "I'll tell your father to let you stay outside, okay." Alas, you don't want to stay with me anymore. ”

Xiao Yao immediately hugged Zhang Suniang's neck, kissed Zhang Suniang's face, and shouted, "Mother".

Zhang Suniang kissed Xiao Yao's face and whispered, "Ghost spirit." ”

Finally arrived at the rest point, Yang Cheng parked the car, helped Zhang Suniang get out of the car, and sat on a stone, Xiao Yao also sat on the side. I took out dry food and water and had lunch.

Zhang Suniang smiled and said to Yang Cheng: "Your daughter wants to drive with you outside, do you agree?" ”

Yang Cheng looked at Zhang Suniang, saw her nodded, then squatted down and looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Girl, do you want to go outside with your father?" ”

Xiao Yao nodded and said with a smile: "Dad, rack, rack."

"Okay, ha, ha, my daughter finally called me. Our big girl is awesome and daring. We'll drive outside later. Yang Cheng said happily with a laugh.

"You promised, don't wait and get impatient." Zhang Suniang said with a smile.

"It's okay, let's eat quickly, and we'll be on the road in a while." Yang Cheng patted his chest and said.

The family rested, got in the car, and continued on the road.

Xiao Yao sat on Yang Cheng's lap, Yang Cheng wrapped his hands around Xiao Yao, and both of them grabbed the reins with both hands. Yang Cheng moved, and the reins hit the horse, and the horse began to run. Xiao Yao giggled happily, and Yang Cheng also laughed.

"Big girl, do you want to learn, isn't it fun to drive a carriage?" , Yang Cheng asked Xiao Yao loudly.

"Ah, ah," Xiao Yao accosted loudly.

"Okay, Daddy will talk to you now, you watch first. When you're older, I'll teach you how to ride a horse. Yang Cheng didn't care how young Xiao Yao was, he didn't understand, and began to teach Xiao Yao how to drive.

"Ah, Ah," Xiao Yao also held the venue and accosted him.

"When driving a carriage, the reins should not be pulled too tightly or too loosely, because too tight will cause the horse's mouth to ache, which will cause the horse to run and kick around; Too loose can also cause the horse to get out of control. Therefore, the control of the horse's reins should be moderate, not so that the horse does not feel pain, but also makes it feel that the owner is controlling it. Yang Cheng looked at the front and said, and then continued, "A carriage with a horse like ours is very easy to drive, as long as you master the strength of holding the reins, you can do it without a whip." ”

"Ah, Ah," Xiao Yao also looked at Yang Cheng's movements and nodded.

"Look, as soon as I exert myself, the horse feels pain, and runs faster. This strength depends on your own mastery, and a few more times will do. It's easy. Yang Cheng said softly, "Also, whether you are riding a horse or driving a carriage, you have to watch the road and pay attention to the condition of the road." When there are people, you should stop and avoid them, and if there are stones and large pits, you should avoid them. ”

"Uh-huh." Xiao Yao nodded.

"Also, if you want to set up a carriage, you also need to know the temper of the horse. It is best to choose a horse with a gentle temper for a horse pulling a cart, and a short-tempered horse must be tamed, otherwise it is easy to have an accident. Yang Cheng said all about the horse: "If you want the horse to be gentle, you want the horse to be healthy, comfortable, and not sick, and it is very important to feed the horse, in addition to letting the horse eat grass by itself, the forage we feed the horse is to be clean, grass without soil, or leguminous hay, pasture, grass cake and grass made into granules, and the horse will get sick if it eats the grass that is not properly handled." These have to be accumulated slowly before they become experience. ”

Xiao Yao also understood, and nodded in agreement: "Ah, ah." ”

"Just now when we were resting, I put my horses out into the woods to graze. Noticed? Yang Cheng lowered his head and said to Xiao Yao.

"Uh-huh," Xiao Yao nodded.

Yang Cheng looked at the front and said slowly: "Do you know why I know so well, I have also started learning since I was a child. At that time, my family was poor and could not afford to raise so many children, I was only 8 years old at the time, and I was sent out as an apprentice. There was no one watching from above, so I could only arrange to go to the stable to get started, and I started to take care of the horses. For example, cleaning the horse shed, taking care of the horse grass, feeding the horse water, bathing the horse, etc. I learned about Mark. ”

Xiao Yao looked at Yang Cheng in admiration, "Hmm, hmm." ”

The father and daughter were one to teach and one to learn, and soon an afternoon passed, and they saw a small town again. The father and daughter parked the carriage in front of a very ordinary inn, got out of the car, and then helped Zhang Suniang get out of the car, holding the package.

"Guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel?" Immediately a guy came up and asked.

"Yes." Yang Cheng nodded and said, "Take care of the horse." ”

"Yes, yes, guest officer, please come in. Rest assured, our service here is top-notch. Make sure you feel comfortable and at ease. The man said right away, and led the carriage to the backyard.

"Guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel? How many rooms do you want? The shopkeeper with a beard looked at the three of them and asked enthusiastically.

"Shopkeeper, come to 1 room." Yang Cheng said.

"Okay, here's the key to room 5. Xiaoliu, take this guest to room 5. The shopkeeper shouted as he gave the key.

"Here we are." A young man dressed as a junior of about thirteen came over and said, "Guest officer, please come with me." ”

"Guest officer, we have breakfast and dinner here, you can eat in the lobby just now, or you can go back to the room to eat." Xiao Liu carefully explained: "Of course, there are also restaurants and snacks on the main road outside. Casual officer likes. ”

"Okay, thank you." Yang Cheng gave Xiaoliu 2 copper plates, "Please prepare hot water." ”

Yang Cheng walked into the room, looked around, and said, "It's okay, let's go down for dinner after we wash up and rest early." I'll be home in two days. Then pinched Xiao Yao's face and said, "Are you happy?" ”

Xiao Yao shook Yang Cheng's hand away and said, "Dad, fight, fight." Yang Cheng laughed.
