My village can't be like this

Chapter 235 Horse Riding
Then Zhang An went home and brought the big black horse over to carpenter Lin to measure the size on the spot.

Then Carpenter Lin dismantled the saddle and remade it.

However, there are not many places to change, so it didn't take much time to complete.

The modified new saddle was placed on the back of the big black, and there was still a lot of space.

Zhang An thought it was necessary to change it again, but Carpenter Lin said that there was no need to change it, it was just right.

Because the margin under the saddle is reserved for the cushion, if a layer of cushion is not added, the horse's back will not be able to withstand the friction of the saddle.

In the end, Zhang An took 100 yuan and handed it to Carpenter Lin as the cost of buying the saddle.

Carpenter Lin was not polite to Zhang An, and just accepted the money, not because Zhang An was his apprentice.

This is how he is, he is straightforward, no matter what he says or does.

Many people feel that this is not good, they don't understand the world, and they don't even know how to put on an appearance.

But Zhang An didn't think there was anything wrong, on the contrary, there was nothing to consider when dealing with such a person.

This is also in the village, only Zhang An has the best relationship with Carpenter Lin.

"Here, take it."

Then Carpenter Lin found 50 yuan and handed it to Zhang An.

"Uncle Carpenter, this saddle costs more than 50 yuan."

I used to spend 50 yuan to make a wooden saddle for carrying goods, and this pair must be more than that.

"The other money has already been given, so you don't have to give so much."

Then Carpenter Lin told Zhang An the origin of the saddle.

It turned out that someone asked him to make a pair of saddles before, but the person who finished it later didn't want it.

But fortunately, the man gave a deposit before making it, which was used by carpenter Lin to buy materials.

So after he didn't want it, Carpenter Lin thought he had wasted a few days.

This pair of saddles has always been kept, but their family has no horses, so they have never been used.

In the past few years, no one came to him to make a saddle, so he was left to eat ashes.

It just so happened that Zhang An was going to make a pair of saddles today, and this pair can be used directly.

In this way, Zhang An not only does not have to wait for time, but can also spend less money.

Knowing Carpenter Lin's character well, he himself will definitely not suffer.

So Zhang An didn't say much, and took the money neatly.

Zhang An returned home and put Dahei into the enclosure to play by himself.

Carrying the newly made saddle, he went into the house to find Wang Fang at home.

"Don't you have a saddle at home? Why did you make another one?"

Wang Fang felt a little strange when she saw Zhang An enter the house carrying a saddle frame.

"Mom, this saddle is not used to pack horses, but to sit on people."

The saddle frame has not been padded yet, so I can't see much difference.

"By the way, Mom, if you have time at night, you can help me make two cushions. This saddle has no cushions yet."

"Just do it now, I don't have anything to do anyway."

After speaking, Wang Fang got up and went back to the house to start searching. It didn't take long to find a pile of old clothes that Zhang An couldn't wear.

Wang Fang cut a piece of canvas for the outer layer of the cushion, which is very strong, and filled it with Zhang An's old clothes.

Soon Wang Fang was operating the sewing machine at home, stepping on the stitches one by one and began to do needlework.

Although Zhang An's sewing machine looks old, it is still easy to use.

This sewing machine was bought by Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang when they got married, and they are no younger than Zhang An.

It took Wang Fang some time, and the two canvas cushions Zhang An needed were ready.

Zhang An tied them to the saddle he just brought back, and now he can ride happily.

After dinner in the evening, Zhang An was going to go for a walk with Su Ying.

Ding Yi was there a few days ago, and the two of them didn't go out much, because Li Li had to drag Su Ying with her wherever she went.

Today Ding and his wife left, Zhang An and Su Ying were liberated.

"Wait for me for a while, let's bring Dahei on."

Before going out, Zhang Anjin went into the enclosure and led Dahei out.

After all, the saddle is ready, and Teacher Xiao Su must experience the feeling of riding a horse.

After Zhang An put the saddle up, Dahei did not resist like in the afternoon.

Because the afternoon is an empty saddle frame, it is full of wood, which makes it uncomfortable.

Now that the saddle is padded, it is very soft to put on, so it doesn't resist.

"Come Yingying, I'll help you up, and today I'll let you try riding a horse."

Zhang An pulled Dahei to stand, and carried Su Ying to sit down immediately.

Riding a horse for the first time, Su Ying seemed a little flustered and at a loss.

"Don't be afraid, Dahei will walk slowly. You put your feet in the stirrups. If you are afraid, hold the handle in front of the saddle."

After listening to Zhang An's words, Su Ying stepped on the stirrups with both feet to feel a little more at ease.

After all, the feeling of emptiness under the feet just now made people feel very insecure.

Just like that, Su Ying sat on the horseback, and Zhang An led Dahei to walk slowly.

Even though she was walking very slowly, Su Ying was still a little flustered, because the big dark horse was too tall.

Unknowingly, Zhang An took Su Ying for a walk around the river.

Su Ying has also adapted to the feeling of shaking on the horse's back, and now she has begun to look around.

After walking by the river for a while, Zhang An led Dahei back.

Because there are many people coming and going on the road at this moment, they have to give way when they are leading the horse.

In the end, seeing people everywhere, Zhang An didn't continue to wander around the village.

Leading Dahei up the Shiya Pass and onto the county road, Zhang An got on his horse.

Holding Su Ying in his arms, kicking his legs, Dahei started to run on the road as if he had received an order.

"Ah, Zhang An, let it run slower."

Dahei picked up the speed all of a sudden, and Su Ying started to get scared.

"It's okay, I'm still here."

Zhang An didn't rein in the reins, but let Dahei let go and run.

Occasionally, a car drove over along the way, and when they saw Dahei running on the road, they all took a curious look.

After running on the road for a while, Su Ying already liked the feeling of running.

Leaning in Zhang An's arms, Su Ying suddenly opened her hands and made a classic movement.

Not long after, Zhang An and his two rode a big black horse past Wangjiachong and Maocaoping.

Finally, Zhang An saw a very wide grass dam on the side of the road, so he reined in the reins and made Dahei stop.

"How about you, are you still afraid?"

Seeing Su Ying's flushed face with excitement, Zhang An hugged her off the horse.

"I'm not afraid anymore, but I still don't dare to ride alone."

Although she was very comfortable and refreshed when she ran just now, this is an unprecedented feeling for Su Ying.

But that was because she was in Zhang An's arms, and she knew that Zhang An could hug her and not fall off.

If she was allowed to ride by herself, she would not dare to let Dahei run so fast.

"It's okay, I will take you out to ride a horse every day from now on."

Anyway, Teacher Xiao Su will be in the village from now on, and he can take her out for a couple of laps every day after dinner.
