Gu Yundong was a little surprised and slowly walked behind him.
The little thing sighed, “Wind Chaser, I can’t take you out for a walk today. Brother Liu An said that he has something to do in the county city. The Zeng brothers and sisters have gone to the fields. Niu Dan also went to school. Mother went to the river to wash clothes. I can’t hold you alone, so I can only talk to you here.”
Wind Chaser was the name they gave the horse yesterday. At that time, Liu An gave them a bunch of names for the horse, but it was too complicated for the children to understand. In the end, they felt that Wind Chaser sounded very fast, so they decided on it.
“You have to be good. This way, I’ll go and gather grass every day for you to eat. In the future, I’ll even marry you and let you give birth to foals. Big Sister said that when our house is built, you can still live in a big stable. It’s very comfortable.”
“By the way, yesterday, Niu Dan taught me two words that I don’t know. Do you want to know? You must want to know. After all, my elder sister took a fancy to you. You must be an eager-to-learn horse. 1’11 write it for you immediately.”
As Gu Yunshu spoke, he squatted down and used a branch to draw on the ground.
After writing, she tilted her head and read it carefully. After wiping it off, she wrote again.
Gu Yundong watched from behind him for a long time. When she saw her small figure squatting on the ground alone, she secretly sighed.
Yunshu had only been in Yongfu Village for a short period of time. Now, the only good friends she had were Niu Dan and Zeng Le.
Niu Dan was going to school. Although Zeng Le was young, he still had to work every day. Early this morning, he went to the fields with his brother and sister.
Actually, Yunshu had to work in the old Gu family in the past. Seeing Zeng Le busy himself, he wanted to follow.
But how could Madam Dong let him do things for her? She stopped him and let him rest at home no matter what. She even fed the chickens in the backyard in advance and cleaned the courtyard.
Gu Yundong wondered if she should let Yunshu go to school. This child liked to study very much and was very intelligent. Even if the school in town only accepted children over the age of six, Yunshu had basic talent and was only a few months older. Perhaps the teacher could make an exception and accept her?
Their house had not been built yet. They did not have poultry, fields, or vegetables. There was a limit to the work they could do. They could try going to the school in town.
At the thought of this, Gu Yundong went forward and patted him on the shoulder. “Why are you mumbling here alone?”
Gu Yunshu suddenly turned around. When he saw Eldest Sister, he hurriedly threw away the branch in his hand and stood up. “Elder Sister, I’m talking to Wind Chaser.”
“What are you saying?”
“He said that Brother Liu An isn’t around, so I can’t take him out for a walk.”
Gu Yundong smiled. “What’s the big deal? We’ll go to town later. Isn’t it just nice to take a walk?”
Gu Yunshu’s eyes lit up. “To town? Us?”
“Yes, we’ll leave when Mother comes back. Where’s Keke?”
“She’s eating in the kitchen.” Gu Yunshu sighed. “Eldest Sister, you really have to talk to her properly. If she continues to eat like this, she’ll really become fat. She eats meat early in the morning. It’s such a big bowl.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yunke rushed out of the kitchen and pushed him twice. “Stupid brother, baddie, I’ll bite you.”
Gu Yundong picked her up and shook her. Yes, the young lady was a little heavier than before, but it was not that serious. Compared to those children who were excessively fed and clothed, she still failed.
“Alright, go back to your room and change first.”
When the two children came out after changing, Madam Yang had also returned..
