“Brother, don’t worry about riding with Yin’er here.”
Su Qingluo stretched out her tender, little hand with a smile, pointing at the little kingfisher standing on top of Black Wind’s head.
“Chirp chirp.”
The little kingfisher chirped in sync, proudly raising its head, its round, curious eyes gazing at him.
It seemed to be looking down on this clumsy boy who couldn’t ride a horse.
Su Zixuan’s cheeks turned red-hot, the feeling of being despised by a bird was not pleasant at all.
“Brother, let’s go home, Qingluo is hungry.”
Hearing his sister’s soft, milky voice, Su Zixuan gritted his teeth and climbed onto the horse with determination.
Just as his sister had said, Black Wind didn’t kick him off this time but obediently lowered its head, allowing him to climb onto its back.
Su Zixuan felt relieved and couldn’t help but glance at the little kingfisher.
“Chirp chirp.”
The little kingfisher didn’t notice his sneaky gaze, and flapped its delicate wings, chirping crisply as if it was talking to Black Wind.
Black Wind shook its big head and neighed softly, as if responding to it.
“Let’s go home!”
Seeing that her brother had successfully mounted the horse, Su Qingluo gently patted Jujube’s head with her tender hand, and the little red horse started trotting forward.
Black Wind followed closely, running at full speed and surpassing Jujube within a few strides.
Su Zixuan gripped the reins tightly, afraid of falling off the horse.
“Brother, don’t be afraid. Black Wind has agreed to let you ride, and it won’t throw you off.”
Following behind on her little red horse, Su Qingluo laughed and advised, “Relax, don’t hold the reins too tightly, it will make it uncomfortable.”
“Oh, alright.’
Su Zixuan loosened the reins as advised, and indeed, Black Wind neighed in relief and gradually slowed down.
Brother and sister rode along the mountain trail, reaching Woniu Village in no time.
Upon entering the village, Li Dashan, the eldest son of the Village Chief’s family, came out of his yard with a bowl of braised rabbit meat, stopping Su Zixuan, “Doudou, take this braised rabbit meat back to your sister. Your aunt cooked it for you.”
“Thank you, Uncle Dashan.”
Su Zixuan jumped off the horse sensibly, took the bowl and thanked Li Dashan, “Uncle Dashan, please help us thank aunty as well. After we finish dinner, I’ll return the bowl to her.”
“No need to rush with the bowl, good boy. Go home quickly, it’s already getting dark.”
Li Dashan gently patted Su Zixuan’s head, and watched the siblings walk into their home before turning back into his yard.
“If only Doudou could be our son-in-law. He’s such a stable and mature kid.”
Dashan’s wife poked her head out of the kitchen upon hearing Su Zixuan’s voice, and joked with a smile.
“Doudou is too young. Our girl is already twelve, their ages don’t match.” Li
Dashan shook his head with a smile.
“What’s wrong with being three years older?!”
Dashan’s wife was not pleased, “A woman three years older is said to bring wealth. Some families like older daughters-in-law who will love their husbands and care for their in-laws.’
“You’re talking about child brides.”
Li Dashan scratched his ear and entered the house through the curtain.
“How is it the same as a child bride?”
Blocked by her husband’s words, Dashan’s wife grumbled with a choking throat, “Tomorrow, I’ll talk to Sister Su about a betrothal for the two children.
“I advise you not to.”
Li Dashan, who had heard her through the curtain, dampened her plans again, “The couple who raised this boy spoils him rotten. Be careful not to have your proposal thrown back in your face.”
“Hmph, what’s wrong with our daughter?”
Dashan’s wife became even angrier upon hearing these words, and began arguing passionately, “She’s gentle, virtuous, and sensible. Why wouldn’t she be a good match for Doudou?!”
“Dashan’s wife, stop talking and cook. Don’t make a fuss in front of the child.”
The authoritative voice of the Old Village Chief came from the inner room, and Dashan’s wife immediately deflated, holding back her anger as she returned to the kitchen..
