Back to 78: My Leisurely Country Life

He Qiang pulling the horse down the mountain immediately caused a sensation in the team.

Hunting wild game from the mountains, even if you get a bear, a wild boar, or a tiger, you can make a fortune for a while.

But that's a one-time deal.

Why are ordinary people obsessed with land?

Because it is a permanent property!

And the value of a horse in today's rural areas is too great.

Although horses are not as beneficial to farming as oxen.

But horses are livestock that can be used for transportation after all!

This is a great help to a rural family!

Especially now that the household contract responsibility system has been implemented, everyone has a greater enthusiasm for farming, and grain production is expected to increase. With livestock like horses, you can do many things that you couldn't do before!

For example, let the horse carry things to sell in the countryside!

"Qiangwaer, where did you get this horse? Oh, it’s amazing, there’s even a pony!"

"Qiangwaer, are you going to sell this pony?!"

"It's incredible, Qiang is getting better and better, now he even has a horse."

The villagers gathered together to discuss, all of them were envious.

Some young people of the same generation in the village were almost biting their back teeth.

He Qiang, a guy who used to be idle all day, is now living a better and better life, leaving those of them who dig for food in the soil far behind. How can they accept this?

"I picked up this horse in the mountains. Everyone, please make way for it, or you will be kicked by the horse. I will not be responsible if that happens!"

He Qiang shouted to the villagers who were watching.

If it were in the past, he might still be worried about bringing a horse back.

After all, it was a collective era back then.

Everything in the mountains actually belonged to the collective.

But now the big pot is a thing of the past.

As long as the village cadres don't make a big deal, no one can take the horse away.

Besides, as long as He Qiang is bold, he won't suffer any loss even if the matter becomes a big deal.

After all, the chief designer will announce the official reform and opening up next year!

He Qiang took the mare and her pony home, and immediately shocked Wu Shuhua and Old Lady He.

""Little boy, where did you get the horse?"

Old Mrs. He looked nervous.

Nowadays, horses in rural areas are basically public property of each village.

Many even belong to supply and marketing cooperatives.

If he took this horse home and was caught, it would be a serious crime!

The villagers did not suspect that He Qiang came from the west mountain, where there were no people, so they naturally believed that He Qiang picked up the horse in the mountains.

Otherwise, if a horse in the village was really lost, wouldn't He Qiang be walking into a trap by being so ostentatious?

""Grandma, I picked it up in the mountains! There are no people on the west side of the mountain. Even if it is a government horse, it must be on the east side of the mountain!"

He Qiang explained.

Grandma He was happy at first, and then said with a fierce face:"Why did you run to the west side of the mountain? Don't you know that there are old forests over there! The last time we organized an expedition into the mountains was several years ago. What if we encounter bears and tigers!"

Although tigers are quite rare here, they are not extinct.

"" Grandma, I'm being careful! How far can you squeeze in? If there is a big thing, it will definitely poop. I've checked and there is no big thing."

He Qiang explained to Grandma He, then pointed at the two horses and said excitedly,"If we really don't go, where can we find these two horses! When these kids grow up, we can borrow them from other villages."

Grandma He was also immediately attracted by the horses and looked at them curiously.

""Daddy, hold me, daddy, hold me!"

He Tiantian struggled to come over and touch the horse.

Wu Shuhua hugged He Tiantian and didn't let her get off the ground. Who knew if the horse would suddenly go crazy?

"Come, Niuniu, Daddy will let you ride a real horse!"

He Qiang stretched out his hand to Wu Shuhua with a proud look on his face, intending to take his daughter's

"Can this horse be ridden?"

Wu Shuhua frowned and said,"What if it gets startled suddenly?"

He Qiang touched the mare and said,"It should be well-fed. When I found it, it had reins and horseshoes. It was obviously domesticated. I don't know what happened to it. It ran to the west end of the mountain." Seeing her husband's assurance, Wu Shuhua reluctantly handed her daughter over.

"Let’s go riding!"

He Tiantian waved her hands excitedly.

""Don't jump too hard, just sit still, do you hear me? Otherwise I won't let you sit next time."

He Qiang warned He Tiantian.

He Tiantian immediately promised,"Okay!"

After being carried to the horse's back by He Qiang, He Tiantian's big black eyes narrowed into a pair of crescents when she smiled.

""Good, good, this horse is really good."

Old Mrs. He praised happily.

He Qiang led the little mare around the yard slowly, and soon He Yongjun and his brothers came to the house.

They were working in the fields, and when they heard that He Qiang had brought two horses, one big and one small, back from the mountains, they could not stay any longer and ran home with their hoes.

Sun Jifa and his friends also came, and they were so shocked when they saw the little mare that they were speechless.

""Fuck, this guy really found a horse, there is such a good thing?"

Sun Jifa was numb.

He now really understood what He Qiang said at that time.

He was afraid that his brother would suffer, and he was also afraid that his brother would drive a Land Rover.

A bunch of relatives and friends gathered in the yard, all of them were looking at the novelty.

The adults were better, but the children were not so reserved. They looked at He Tiantian on the horse with envy and surrounded He Qiang.

"Dad, Dad! I want to ride a horse, too!"

"Ahhh! Dad, Dad, where am I? Where am I?"

""Dad, you are the best!! Let me ride a horse too!"

He Qiang shouted at a bunch of little kids,"Stop making noise, be honest, don't touch the horse, or I won't let you ride if you get kicked!"

All the naughty kids suddenly quieted down, and they obeyed orders.

In the crowd, the parents of the naughty kids had complicated looks in their eyes.

They knew how naughty these dogs were, but they all became obedient with just one word from Dad, which was more effective than the words of their parents.

Yu Li, in particular, turned a little black on the spot. On the contrary, He Yong looked heartless, and muttered to his wife beside him,"This dog must wish Qiangwaer was his real dad."

He Yong's wife rolled her eyes and said nothing.

Now that the fourth brother is becoming more and more capable, they can only envy him. After a lot of trouble, He Qiang finally whispered a few words to Grandma He, and then Grandma He came forward to set the rules.

"This horse was brought back by Qiang Waer with his own ability, you should have nothing to say, right?"

Old lady He stared at her eldest and second sons.

He Aiguo felt sad when he saw his mother's attitude, but still muttered:"Mom, what are you talking about? This horse belongs to Qiang Waer and no one intends to take it away."

He Jianguo pulled his brother's clothes, winked at him, and then said to the unhappy old lady He:

"Mom, we just came to see something new, we don't mean anything else, don't get me wrong."

Old lady He said unhappily:"Okay, you are all my children, how can I not know what you are thinking? As soon as your asshole sticks up, I know you are going to poop or pee."

This is too vulgar.

But it is not strange at all in the countryside.

The folk customs here are originally tough.

The two brothers were exposed, their faces flushed, and they stammered and couldn't speak.

But from the fact that they did not intend to leave, we can see what they really think.

Old lady He came to He Qiang and said to the people in the other two rooms:"Don't say that I am partial to you as a mother and grandmother. Today I will make a decision. When Qiangwa doesn't need the horse, you can come to borrow the horse. It can be regarded as a reward for your help to Qiangwa's family since childhood.

But let me make it clear first, this horse belongs to Qiangwa. If you need to use it, you have to tell me in advance, and you can't affect Qiangwa's family!

And you can't use this horse to do favors for other families! If it is really necessary, you have to tell me, and it will only count if I agree!"

The old lady deserves to live to such an old age.

Although He Qiang said that the other two families were allowed to borrow it, Old Lady He thought of more and patched up the possible accidents.

He Qiang didn't react until he heard what Old Lady He said at the end. It was indeed a hidden danger.

After all, family members have more concerns, and they will cherish the horse more if they borrow it. If it is lent out as a favor, it may cause some trouble.

It is true that having an old person in the family is like having a treasure!

"Mom, you are the boss of this family, whatever you say is the final word!"

He Aiguo heard a satisfactory answer, and he didn't care about being scolded just now, and he was no longer sad.

The children of both families were also happy.

With this horse, it would be convenient to go to the village to attend the market in the future.

Carrying vegetables to the village is too tiring to walk such a long mountain road, and the timeliness is poor and the transportation is limited.

Now that we have a horse, we can plant more fruits and sell them!

If there were no such conditions before, who would not be willing to plant more fruits and sell them?

After sending off the other two families, Sun Jifa and the other two did not leave.

F4 watched the little ones being beaten and crying for their parents and dragged away, and finally rushed over to He Qiang.

Children want to ride horses, and adults want to ride horses too!

Just like men in later generations love cars,���People here look at horses the same way

"Qiangwaer, let me ride a horse sometime."

Sun Jifa's eyes lit up.

There was a lack of entertainment in the village, and these guys who knew how to play would not miss the opportunity to ride a horse.

Who doesn't love the thrill of riding a horse?
