Chapter 121 Became the Stable Manager

Bai Nuo carried a small wooden bucket, about the height of her calf, in one hand, containing a grass carp and a bucket of eels. She planned to keep them at home for now, and then cook them the next day after learning how to make them from a popular recipe book.

"Uncle Black Wind, we should go back now. I need to go home first and take these things back." Bai Nuo walked out of the reeds carrying two wooden buckets, and saw Black Wind pounding jujubes on his head.

Bai Nuo immediately laughed, picked up the two buckets and ran over, looking like a little duck from a distance.

"What's going on? What's going on? Why is he hitting his son?"

"Host, why are you even watching the horse's commotion? Try to hide that gloating on your face." The system looked at its host helplessly.

"The only difference between humans and animals is that one can speak human language but sometimes doesn't act humanly, while the other can't speak human language but what it does might not be a bad thing. Otherwise, there isn't much difference."

So what's wrong with her joining in the fun? Who cares if it's a person or a horse? As long as there's excitement to watch, that's all that matters.

The system was stunned by its host's unreasonable twisted logic, but it still flew out of the system space and sat on Bai Nuo's shoulder, happily watching the fun together. Its skillful attitude showed that it was a veteran.

"How magnificent, how magnificent!"

When Hei Feng saw Bai Nuo return, he started yelling as if he had found someone to complain to, his big head bobbing up and down, clearly very angry.

"Ah, Dazao, that's not right of you. Didn't I tell you not to come into the reed marshes with me? Not only did you go in by yourself, but you also dragged your wife in with you. You deserved this beating." Bai Nuo scolded Dazao while gently patting Dazao's big head with her small hand.

"Alright, alright, I've disciplined it. It won't dare to do it again. Let's go back." Bai Nuo, like a doting elder protecting his grandson, patted it lightly twice before quickly changing the subject.

"Hmph!" Black Wind snorted in exasperation, then looked down at the two wooden buckets Bai Nuo had brought back. It didn't understand where the buckets came from, since the little girl hadn't taken them with her when she went in.

However, animals are animals after all, and their thoughts are very simple. They walked over, lowered their heads, picked up one of the dates, and then turned their heads to look at the dates.

That clueless brat.

Dazao nuzzled Bai Nuo's shoulder, making the little girl, who looked like a small bean bun, wobble. Then she walked to another wooden bucket, lowered her head, and picked it up like her father.

"Oh, thank you, Uncle Black Wind. The jujubes are really great." Bai Nuo smiled as she looked at the two tall horses. She walked over, grabbed the saddle on Black Wind's back with both hands, and with a powerful movement, she straddled the horse in a flash, her movements graceful and skillful.

She also noticed that with Black Wind around, the other horses would obediently follow behind without needing to be led.

Riding on horseback, Bai Nuo leisurely made his way to the educated youth compound with a few horses. Everyone had gone to work by now. Bai Nuo entered through the back gate of his house, placed two wooden buckets under the eaves, and then came out.

Seeing that it was almost time, he took a few horses back to the feeding team.

"Little Bai is back. How are you feeling? Are you settling in? Have the birds been bothering you?" Tie Jinhua was checking the pigsty when she heard the sound of horses' hooves and turned around, smiling at Bai Nuo.

"Captain, I'm doing well and I'm adapting to this job. I plan to go find the clerk later and take over all the work in this horse pen," Bai Nuo said to Tie Jinhua as he dismounted.

“That’s great. Uncle Zhao is getting old, and it’s really inconvenient for him to manage two horse pens and a cowshed. In addition, we are planning to apply for two donkeys to come back in a while, and we will really be short-handed then. It would be best if you could take over the work of the horse pens.”

Tie Jinhua looked at Bai Nuo with satisfaction. The job of a horse pen not only involves feeding and walking the horses, but also cleaning the pen and brushing the horses. Sometimes, one also needs to know some simple repair work. Tie Jinhua had heard from the brigade leader that Bai Nuo, the educated youth, also knew some carpentry, which made him perfect for the job.

Moreover, many of the educated youth from the city could barely manage to walk the livestock and poultry, but they didn't like doing anything else, feeling it was beneath them, as well as dirty and smelly.

Originally, Tie Jinhua was worried that this young educated youth, who looked like he had been pampered at home and had a good background, would not be able to accept the work of the animal husbandry team. Unexpectedly, he was planning to take on the work of an entire stable in just half a day.

It was indeed rare and unexpected.

"Then it's settled. You can go directly to the clerk to register and get the key. From now on, besides the one that the brigade headquarters keeps, you'll be responsible for keeping the other key to this stable. If you have any problems, come to me, understand?"

"I understand, don't worry, Captain, I will definitely take good care of Uncle Black Wind." Bai Nuo stood there and nodded with a bright smile.

When Tie Jinhua heard the very natural address of "Uncle," she couldn't help but laugh.

"You really call Black Wind Uncle? But it's not wrong to call him that. Black Wind is indeed of a higher generation than us. If it didn't want to stay in the Wei family to enjoy its retirement, it wouldn't have come to live with us in our animal husbandry team."

The story of Bai Nuo seriously discussing Hei Feng's seniority with the brigade leader that morning had already spread throughout the entire brigade. Originally, some people laughed at Bai Nuo for discussing seniority with an animal, but they were chased and beaten by several elders in the village with wooden sticks, and in the end, no one dared to laugh at him anymore.

However, most people showed the utmost goodwill towards this matter, and even thought it made a lot of sense.
