What Yaji sent to the farm were two solid-colored ponies, one black and one white. They were obviously purebred horses with excellent bloodlines. Excellent horse breeds artificially bred based on the original Arabian horses for more than 200 years.

, each horse has a pedigree that can be checked.

When Lingya came to the stable, Baxuan was feeding the foal concentrate and cleaning the stable by cleaning up the feces.

"This is Aki, ah, she was fostered by one of my high school classmates." Hachiken explained to Lingya who was leaning against the fence and looking at the foal.

"The previous Yuchuan, I remember that the sister named Aki was also fostered by you, right?"

"Yeah." Baxuan responded, but felt that the expression was not clear, and continued, "Actually, Aki is worried because there are always horse dealers at her racecourse. Aki likes Yuchuan very much and does not intend to sell it.

, but couldn't stand the harassment from horse dealers - purebred horses like Yuchuan are very popular and are likely to achieve good rankings in the competition. Just in case the horse dealers are concerned about it again, Aki asked Yuchuan to be entrusted two years ago.

Gave it to me."

If she had stayed at her family's horse farm, Yu Chuan would have been sold by her father at a high price. After all, the owner of the horse farm is Aki's father.

It may be strange to say this. Horses are raised in racecourses and are originally intended for sale. But Aki doesn't like this. It's not that she is holding a good horse in order to raise the price. To her, Yuchuan is different and has special meaning. I don't want to

Trade as money.

"Are these two foals too?"

"Yes, Aki likes them very much and doesn't plan to sell them. But recently, horse dealers have come upon hearing the news. Their noses are always the most sensitive at this time. If they are not sent, they will be bought in a few days.

Let’s go. Sorry, I should have told the eldest lady first.”

After all, this is the Oshima family's horse farm. Although Hachiken is responsible for the fodder and daily expenses (Aki will also remit money regularly for part of the responsibility), the owner's consent should indeed be obtained. It was Oshima who took in Oikawa before.

Mr. Shima agreed, but this time the two ponies were sent a little more eagerly.

I heard that the parents of the two foals had very good pedigrees and were regulars at the racetrack. They were already targeted by a large group of horse dealers when they were just born, so Aki hurriedly sent them over. They were only six or seven years old.

It's only a week old, and it took more than a month for it to learn to walk. If it were a human, it would have just learned to crawl.

Baxuan himself didn't know anything about it beforehand, and he only received Aki's letter from the farm this morning.

The letter was sent more than a week ago. In this era where there are no mobile phones and even landlines are not common, contact is indeed a difficult task. In ten days, the post office in Hokkaido can deliver the letter to Tokyo very quickly. Sometimes it is delayed.

For more than a month, it is common for items to even be lost.

So when Hachiken learned from the letter, Xiao Pony had already arrived in Tokyo. The transportation company's notice was only a few hours later than the postman who delivered the letter.

[Running a farm is different from raising pets. There is no need to put too much emotion into those animals.] - Aki has been scolded by her father more than once, but she still insists on it. Once there are horses that she has deep feelings for and does not want to sell, she will

Sending them here has almost become a tacit understanding between Aki and Baxuan - in this case, not even her father can sell them away.

Baxuan seems to have become her safe haven.

Is this a love relationship between Baxuan and Aki? Ling is not sure. After all, what does she know about love? Even in the past, she had zero love experience in high school, let alone now.

"Of course it doesn't matter if you foster them here. Anyway, there is no need for anyone else in this racecourse except Mr. Hachiken. But do these two foals have names?"

Ling also stretched out her hand, and the white foal licked her palm a few times. It was moist and warm. If it were an adult horse, such an action would be very dangerous and it would probably be bitten. The foal would

There was no danger anymore, and the bite force was not strong at the stage of drinking milk, so Baxuan did not stop it.

He was just a little surprised that the eldest lady was really liked by animals.

"Name? There shouldn't be one," Baxuan said uncertainly.

"Then can I name them?"

"Yeah, okay."

This time, Hachiken answered simply. The foal was only a month old, and Nobu Raki didn't tell him its name. Presumably, he hadn't picked it up yet. Even if it had been picked up, as a reward for being fostered at Oshima's house, he would have picked it up.

Of course such a small thing as a name is insignificant.

But Ling didn't think about what name to choose for a while.

Foals must drink breast milk in the first month after they are born. They only recognize the taste of their mother. After one month, they can use cow's milk or goat's milk instead, and they can also add some concentrated feed. These two

The foal had just been weaned from breast milk when it was delivered, so Baxuan prepared some beans mixed with honey (honey is to prevent constipation) and some fresh goat's milk in the manger.

Goat milk is put in a bottle, and the temperature must be adjusted to be similar to breast milk, otherwise the foal's sensitive lips and tongue will feel the difference and be unwilling to drink it.

"Uncle Baxuan, let me come, I'll feed you!"

Feeding small animals is an interesting thing, and both adults and children like it. It is no wonder that cute pet parks in later generations can be opened in major business districts. Many people are willing to spend much more expensive prices than in the wet market to buy some feed.

Feed those little animals.

It is probably the dream of many city children to have a pasture at home and raise a group of small animals at will, right?

Taking the milk bottle from Ba Xuan, Ling didn't mind it too. She knelt down in the haystack of the stable and the two foals came up to her. Ba Xuan was a little surprised. The two foals had been there before.

So well-behaved?

In other words, is it because of the eldest lady?

I once heard a story that unicorns like pure girls, but I always felt that those who made up the stories were all old perverts, and it was completely baseless rumors. But looking at the girl in front of him, Baxuan felt that the legends were not necessarily all nonsense.

The animals in the forest farm all liked the eldest lady, and he even suspected that even the plants would smile for Ling.

"Miss Reiya, you are still so popular with animals!"

"Humph." Ling also smiled proudly. Watching the cute little pony drink the goat's milk from the bottle always makes people feel relaxed.

No wonder Sister Aki hates those horse dealers. If she lives with these animals day and night, who would be willing to sell them?

At this time, Maria walked into the stable.

"Mr. Hachigen, someone is calling you from the living room in the lobby. It's Aki."

"Aki?" Hachiken said in surprise. Although he had given the number here to Aki, the farm in Hokkaido probably didn't have a phone, otherwise Aki wouldn't have chosen to send the letter ten days ago.

"Miss Aki left a number for you to redial. Looking at the number section, it should be a public phone at a phone booth in Tokyo."

"Tokyo? Okay, I'll be there right away!"

Aki has come to Tokyo? And it’s so late. It’s already past seven in the evening. Hachiken hurried to the main castle without thinking about it.

Ling Ye finished feeding the two bottles of goat's milk in her hands quickly. She still had some unfinished thoughts, but she didn't know how to adjust the milk, and she didn't know how much the foal should eat, so she could only give up feeding to avoid injury.

"Maria, should we install more landline phones at home?"

Although she has a mobile phone, she doesn't use it often except to communicate with Tomoyo. The landline phone is only in the living room on the first floor of the main castle. The manor is so big, it is really not convenient to have a phone.

Although it is more convenient to use a pull-out machine, in 1972, this technology was not available at all.

The forest guarding hut in Hachiken, the lounges of Chef Shinomiya and Saiba, the rooms of Maria and housekeeper Miino, and Reiya's own study. These places are all equipped with telephones, which will undoubtedly be a lot more convenient.

In later generations, such a large manor would be a matter of course.

"Okay, I understand, I'll contact the phone company right now."

In the 1970s, adding phone lines was not a simple matter, and it was definitely not a matter of paying money. Even if the official wanted to add a phone line, it would take a long time to get approval.

However, since the master has a wish, it is the job of their housekeeper and maid to solve the problem. If even the eldest lady's wish cannot be fulfilled, how can she be qualified to call herself the maid of the Oshima family?

At the same time, Daodao Temple House

After Sakura rang the doorbell, Tomoyo came out to greet her.

"Tomoyo, I'm sorry to bother you so late."

"No, it doesn't matter. I'm having dinner. Sakura, do you want to eat with me?"

"Ah, no, no, no." Sakura quickly waved her hand, "Dad is still waiting for me at home."

Although I told my dad before that I wanted to play with friends, I agreed to go home before dinner.

Chise doesn’t force it either.

"This is a gift. The apple tart made by my mother can be used as a dessert after the meal."

"Ah, thank you, please bring it specially." Tomoyo took the egg tart box as a gift from Sakura. The egg tarts have been out of the oven for more than an hour, and they are still a little warm, so they have not passed the best tasting period.

"Auntie did this?"

Opening the box, there are four egg tarts inside. The berries are crystal clear. You don’t need to taste it, just the fragrance is tempting enough. Whether it is the color or smell, it doesn’t look like the work of an amateur chef at all. Even if it is placed in an outside dessert shop, it will be enough.

Sold as a sign.

"Yes, my mother said that it was the 'dream-colored strawberry tart' that she used to be best at. But because there were no strawberries, I used apples instead."

"Mengse..." Chise muttered, "In this case, I only need to take two. Won't you leave two for your father?"

"Ah? But..."

Of course, Sakura has not forgotten her father, but because her mother did not allow her to tell her father about her existence, Sakura subconsciously ignored it.

Do you want to give it to dad?

It's just two egg tarts. She probably didn't break the agreement with her mother...right?

Sakura hesitated, but Tomoyo made the decision for her first. She took out two egg tarts, closed the carton, and put the carton containing the remaining two egg tarts back into Sakura's hand.<

"Since it is a 'Mengse' egg tart, it was originally made for your father."
