Under the ardent farewell of Han Miaomiao and his wife, Zhang Taiping and the others returned to the Zhang family yard. Zhuang Yu did not leave, but followed Wang Peng back to her newly built house. Wang Peng said that the house was new.

The building was still very humid inside, so Zhuang Yu stayed at Wang Peng's house these days when she came, and did not dislike the environment. Zhang Taiping thought about it and it seemed that she was really interested in this place and planned to live here permanently.

Already.

Zhang Taiping shook his head to put these things away for the time being, but he remembered one thing that he had forgotten these days, that is, he did not prepare a saddle for the horse. He was not afraid when he was riding, but it would inevitably happen when the time came.

Guests will also want to ride a horse. It is always dangerous and prone to accidents without a saddle. He cannot always protect every rider.

Come to think of it, it's hard to find a saddle for a while. Zhang Dashuai's former gangster friends may have a way to get a saddle, but Zhang Taiping doesn't want to mix with those former gangsters.

Mixing together.

Picking up the phone and thinking about it, Yang Wanli's father is the secretary of the district committee. Although he can be said to be the prince of the district, he has been going to school. After leaving school, he also started a garden business and would not be exposed to this kind of business.

I probably didn’t know where to find the saddle. After thinking about it, a smiling face like the Maitreya Buddha suddenly appeared in my mind. It was the fat man Huang Jun. This fat man looked harmless to humans and animals, and he smiled all day long.

, but people from all walks of life have a wide range of friends, so maybe they can actually get two saddles.

I found Fatty's phone number and dialed it. As soon as I got through, his signature hearty laughter came over: "Haha, why did Brother Zhang have time to call me today?"

"Haha, I'm begging for you again."

Fatty Xiang pretended to be angry and said: "Why don't you ask for anything? If you have anything to say, I will never refuse if you can do it."

"Let's see if we can get a saddle?"

"A saddle?" Fatty paused. "Have you got a horse?"

Zhang Taiping hummed and said, "I went around the grassland some time ago and not only brought back a few horses but also a wild Tibetan mastiff."

"Tibetan Mastiff? What breed?" Fatty's voice rose a bit when he heard that Zhang Taiping had obtained a purebred wild Tibetan Mastiff.

Zhang Taiping was silent for a while, then when the fat man couldn't wait any longer and was about to urge him, he said: "Ghost-faced Tibetan Mastiff!"

"What? Are you telling me again, is it really a Tibetan Mastiff with a ghost face?" The fat man didn't believe it when he heard it. He thought he heard it wrong.

"Why did I lie to you? Is it possible that flowers would grow on my face if I lied to you?"

"It's true. What does this Tibetan Mastiff with a ghost face look like?" The fat man was a little itchy and asked Zhang Taiping to describe the appearance of the ghost face. His reaction was not an exaggeration. A person who loves big dogs heard the news.

It would be strange to be able to remain calm after that.

Zhang Taiping said: "Well, let's not talk about it for now. It can't run away in my house. If you want to know more when you are free, just come and see it in person. Let's talk about the saddle first."

"Haha, I got off topic in my excitement. I got off topic. Please let me think about it." After a while, he said again, "I have gone through all the people in my mind, and there is no one who has this thing. Just wait a moment, I

I’m calling someone to ask.”

Zhang Taiping replied: "Okay." After hanging up the phone and waiting for more than ten minutes, Fatty's call came.

"I'm sorry this time, Brother Zhang. I asked several people but none of them had such a thing. There are no grasslands or other places in our Guanzhong area that are not suitable for horses to grow, so there are very few horses. Natural saddles

That’s less.”

Although I'm a little disappointed, I don't blame anyone. My friend's help is a good intention, and failure is God's will. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, you should have a grateful heart and say: "It doesn't matter, it's not an important matter. I'm asking others

Just ask.”

"It's fine if I don't blame you. Although I didn't help you, I had to shamelessly ask for help."

Zhang Taiping smiled and said, "Let me know how I can help."

"It's about the orchid I bought at the teahouse last time."

"Is it the diseased orchid you bought?"

The fat man said hurriedly: "Yes, it is this orchid. Although it was sick at the time, it was cured not long after buying it. Then it was given to my father-in-law. Unexpectedly, it fell ill two months later. How was it cured this time?"

It can’t be cured. No, I heard that last time you rescued a golden osmanthus plant that was sentenced to death by everyone in the industry, so I wanted to ask you to help treat it."

"Then I'll give it a try, but I can't guarantee whether it can be cured or not." Zhang Taiping didn't seem to be talking too much. It's better to leave a little room for everything.

"You can try, but it's already half dead anyway. It's best if you can save it. If you can't save it, that's its fate. Don't blame anyone." It seemed that the fat man really didn't have much hope for this petal lotus orchid.

It's just a dead horse being treated as a live doctor.

Zhang Taiping said: "Should I go there, or what?"

Seeing that Zhang Taiping agreed, the fat man said, "Don't bother me. I just want to see what the legendary ghost-faced Tibetan Mastiff looks like. I'll send it over in a while. Prepare the room and rest at your place overnight."

.”

Zhang Taiping also laughed and said: "I won't let you sleep in the open when you come. I'll entertain you with good wine!"

"Haha, just what I wanted. I heard from Yang Wanli and others that you are a master at brewing your own wine. The wine you brew is rare in the world. I have long wanted to try it." After hearing this, the fat man said happily.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Taiping frowned. Fatty couldn't get a saddle now. It seemed that he wouldn't be able to get it in a short time. But he still called a few people he knew and got it.

The results are much the same.

"Commander, Marshal?"

Zhang Taiping suddenly came to his senses and turned around to see the old village chief calling him after driving three meters away. The grimace was right next to him, and the old village chief did not dare to approach.

Seeing that Zhang Taiping had come to his senses, the old village chief asked: "What are you thinking about? I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I called you several times and there was no response."

Zhang Taiping shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's about the saddle. I've searched many people but couldn't find the saddle."

When he heard it was a saddle, the village chief smiled.

Zhang Taiping felt something strange and asked: "Where can I find this old uncle?"

The old village chief smiled and said, "I didn't."

"Then why is uncle laughing?"

"I'm laughing at you for riding a donkey to look for a donkey."

"How do you say this?" Zhang Taiping really didn't know where he could ride a donkey.

The old village chief smiled and said: "Old Qian raised horses in his early years, so he must have saddles. Isn't it hard for you to know?"

Zhang Taiping shook his head. Although he had learned carpentry from Old Man Qian for two years, he really didn't know this. Now that he knew where to find it, he was no longer anxious and asked: "What do you want me to do, uncle? Come on."

Let’s talk about it.”

The old village chief shook his hand: "No, I just came here to ask a few questions and then leave."

"What words?"

"Do you think the money should be divided among the village or used to build roads?"

Zhang Taiping said without hesitation: "Of course we need to build roads." No one understands the role of roads in the development of a place better than him.

"Okay, I understand." The old village chief turned around and was about to leave. "I'll first ask everyone in the village to roughly see which one they support, and then make a decision at a meeting." After saying that, he left.

After the old village chief left, Zhang Taiping also left the yard and headed towards Old Man Qian's home.

"Is Uncle Qian here?" Zhang Taiping shouted at the door.

Old Man Qian came out and said, "Commander, come in quickly." As he walked inside, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"I heard from the old village chief that you have a saddle here, come and take a look." Zhang Taiping replied.

"That's it, please wait here for a moment." After saying that, he climbed up to the compartment above the house with a ladder. Most of these old-fashioned rural houses have a compartment on the top to put some lightweight wooden items.

Farm tools. Old man Qian rummaged through them for a while and found one thing, which was a saddle.

After standing on the ground, he patted the dust on his body and said, "This is the saddle. It's just that it hasn't been used for a long time. It's a little worn out, and some places were chewed up by my uncle. Besides, I've seen your two horses."

, one of the black horses has a different physique than ordinary horses, much larger, and ordinary saddles are not suitable. I modified and repaired these two saddles."

"Okay, then what does this money count for?" Zhang Taiping asked.

"Money? I don't want money, I'll just give it to you." Although old man Qian's surname is Qian, he is not greedy for money and has no intention of making much money from this.

"That's no good. You can't just take it for nothing."

Old Man Qian said with a straight face: "I don't raise horses now, so it's useless to leave this thing here. Just take it if you need it. Is it possible that I can keep it and bring it into the coffin? If we talk about it again

I'd rather burn them in the stove for money."

Zhang Taiping was speechless and opened his mouth not knowing what to say.

"Okay, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I will repair it and send it to you as soon as possible." Old Man Qian directly issued an eviction order.

"That would be troublesome." Seeing this, Zhang Taiping stopped mentioning the money and turned around and walked out of the yard.

When she returned home, Cai Xiaomei had already returned with her classmates, and they were sitting together eating watermelon and chatting about their experiences today. Zhang Taiping greeted him after he came in.

He took advantage of the situation and sat next to him to talk for a while. Except for Cai Xiaomei, they immediately asked Zhang Taiping. In their eyes, Zhang Taiping was a very magical person. He raised many kinds of animals at home.

animal.
