Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

Ji Nuan felt a little sorry when she saw the fish that Song Jinbai pushed towards her.

She smiled gently and said, "Song Jinbai, don't be so polite. You take care of me every time you come to eat. Eat more yourself." After that, she picked up a chicken leg with chopsticks and put it into Song Jinbai's bowl.

Seeing Ji Nuan picking up food for him naturally and smoothly without any affectation or affectation, Song Jinbai's mood became complicated.

He was happy that Ji Nuan would take care of whether he had enough to eat, but he was also disappointed that Ji Nuan didn't seem to realize his good intentions.

He had no idea that Ji Nuan wasn't simply ignorant. She hadn't yet considered the issue of her children's emotions, not because she thought they were too young to understand, but because she understood Song Jinbai's emotional state. She had always believed that Song Jinbai had a crush on someone else, and that his kindness to her was more of a way of repaying her for saving his life.

Ji Nuan noticed that Song Jinbai hadn't touched his chopsticks for a long time, so she asked with concern, "What's wrong? Don't you like chicken legs?" Then, she gently took the chicken legs from Song Jinbai's bowl and added a few slices of carrots. She said gently, "It's okay, then you can have some carrots."

Song Jinbai collected his thoughts and said with a smile, "Yes. You eat too."

Ji Nuan lowered her head to eat, thinking of the various fruits that she couldn't finish eating in the space. She could take out a few baskets when she got home later to entertain guests tomorrow.

"Song Jinbai, what kind of fruit do you like? I'll prepare it for you tomorrow."

Song Jinbai recalled the scene of her pulling out a huge apple from her sleeve last time. His eyes flickered as he replied, "Oranges or grapes, either is fine."

"Okay, one basket each of oranges and grapes." Ji Nuan said this with ease and generosity, completely unaware that these two fruits were not available at this time of year. Besides, grapes were something that ordinary people couldn't buy even if they had money.

Song Jinbai had suspected that she had something up her sleeve before, and now he was even more certain.

After leaving the Song residence, Ji Nuan went to the cattle and horse market and bought an ox cart. This way, when the brothers and sisters left tomorrow, the family wouldn't be inconvenienced by the lack of a carriage.

When the ox cart was almost at the village entrance, Ji Nuan moved out two large baskets of white peaches, two large baskets of melons, and six big round watermelons from the space.

Ji He was waiting at the gate of the courtyard early, looking eagerly at the village entrance until the slowly approaching ox cart came into view. After seeing clearly that the person in the cart was Ji Nuan, he hurried to meet her.

Ji He took the ox rope and asked in surprise: "Sister, did you buy this ox cart too?"

Ji Nuan smiled and replied, "Brother, we're leaving tomorrow on horseback. It's really inconvenient to pull a cart without a horse at home, so I bought this ox cart to use first. It can help during the busy farming season."

Ji He nodded in agreement: "Sister is really thoughtful! My sister-in-law often goes to the capital now, and it is really inconvenient for us not to have a car."

"Second brother, are the eldest brother and the others home? I'll teach you how to ride horses later."

Ji He smiled innocently, "We're all waiting at home! As soon as you said you'd come back in the afternoon to teach us horse riding, we finished our work at the new house and rushed back."

When they reached the gate, Ji Nuan jumped off the ox cart and shouted into the yard, "Big brother, Third brother, come out to work!"

"Little sister is back!" A response came from inside the house.

"What work is there? Come and do it, big brother!" Ji Shan also hurriedly followed out.

Ji Nuan smiled and pointed to several large baskets on the car that were covered tightly with large leaves: "Here, they are all here. Move them into the yard first."

"What is this? It's covered so tightly!" Ji Shan said as he reached out to pull away the big leaves covering the basket.

Ji Nuan chuckled and said, "We met a caravan selling fruit on the way. I thought we'd have a lot of guests at home tomorrow, so I bought some to entertain them."

"Brother, let's move these into the yard first." Ji Chuan noticed that some neighbors were curiously sticking their heads out, and hurriedly urged his brothers to take action.

Ji Shan tried it, but found that the basket was too big and the cargo was too heavy, and he couldn't move it by himself.

"Come on, second brother, let's work together to carry this basket." He called Ji He to help.

The three brothers quickly moved all the large baskets into the main room, and then worked together to unload the ox cart frame and place the ox in the backyard. Then they walked out excitedly, each leading a horse.

"Little sister, where are we going to ride horses?" Ji Shanxing asked hurriedly.

"There is a piece of wasteland at the foot of the mountain, little sister, let's go there." Ji Chuan suggested.

"Okay!" Ji Nuan agreed happily, then turned to his three brothers and said, "Big brother, second brother, third brother, you guys get on the horses first and get used to them. I'll lead you all over slowly."

These are all tamed horses. She added diluted vital water to the water in the trough last night, and the horses are now unusually docile.

Ji Shan watched the others riding horses with such a majestic air, feeling both envious and a bit nervous. He finally climbed onto the horse with great effort, but he felt a surge of fear, his voice trembling as he said, "Sister, I'm not going to fall off!"

Ji Nuan couldn't help laughing out loud. She didn't expect that her usually steady brother would be so timid and afraid when it came to riding a horse.

She said to Ji Shan in a comforting and encouraging tone, "Don't worry, big brother. These horses are all carefully selected and docile breeds. Even if they really don't obey and throw you off, I can catch you quickly and make sure you don't lose a single hair."

Ji Shan and Ji Chuan also climbed onto the horses one after another. They looked much calmer than Ji Shan.

Ji Nuan lightly jumped onto Ji Shan's horse. She expertly controlled the reins and guided the horse slowly toward the foot of the mountain. Along the way, she patiently taught her brothers horsemanship, covering every detail, from how to control the reins to how to communicate with the horse.

Ji Nuan felt that Ji Shan, who was sitting in front of her, was particularly stiff and obviously still a little nervous.

Ji Nuan comforted him, "Brother, relax. When riding, your body should sway naturally with the horse's pace. This way you won't feel so tired. Come on, relax, try to take a deep breath, and feel the horse's rhythm. You will slowly adapt."

Ji He smiled and agreed: "Hehe, little sister is right, I really feel much better after relaxing."

The four Ji brothers and sisters rode through the village, attracting many villagers to stop and watch. The children were even more excited, running after the horses, shouting and yelling.

Ji Nuan took her three brothers to run a few laps at the foot of the mountain, guiding them to control their speed and master the skills. When they felt that they had almost mastered them, they returned home satisfied.
