Early the next morning, the little ones were still lying in bed, but my sister and mother got up early to make breakfast. My father and brother-in-law were also chatting in the living room downstairs. As soon as they came downstairs, they smelled a strong smell.
aroma.
"Braised beef noodles, wow, I'm in for a treat now," Ju An excitedly rubbed his hands and exclaimed.
Mom said happily: "I know you like to eat, so your sister and I got up at six o'clock to make noodles and stew beef."
"Mom is partial. The eldest brother and the third child always have something delicious to eat, but every time I go home, they always have green vegetables and tofu," my sister said with a smile.
"Your eldest brother and younger brother only see each other once or twice a year and come back for a few days. You are there every day. Isn't it your father that you are missing something to eat, including vegetables and tofu? Your Tongtong snacks are missing.
I bought it," my mother said dissatisfied.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong. The third child asked dad and your brother-in-law to come for dinner." My sister quickly begged for mercy.
After yelling in the living room, my father and brother-in-law went to the dining room. My mother and sister carried a large plate and brought out several bowls of beef noodles with bright oily flowers and red sauce.
I picked up the noodles and blew on it, then put it in my mouth. It was smooth and smooth. I picked up the beef. It was moderately fat and tender. The meat was fragrant with a hint of peppercorns. The soup also had a strong beef aroma. It was a complete meal.
What I had for breakfast was Fengjuanchanyun.
After eating, I wiped my mouth and praised: "Mom's cooking skills can be used for state banquets. It tastes so good."
When my mother heard this, her eyes turned into lines when she smiled, and the wrinkles on her face relaxed.
After breakfast, my father and brother-in-law followed Ju An to see what kind of work there was. Ju An took them for a walk around the greenhouse, pulled out carrots and went straight to the stables.
Doucao and Xuehua were already looking at the stables eagerly. When they saw Ju An snorting excitedly and sharing breakfast with the two foodies, they pulled them out of the compartment, pulled them onto the aisle, and started brushing the horses, while their father
Volunteered to shovel the horse manure.
I showed the demonstration to my brother-in-law, and he learned it. Then he handed him a brush and asked him to brush the snowflakes while he concentrated on dealing with the bean grass.
Ju An wasn't even halfway done with the cleaning, and his father had already taken care of the two small compartments. Ju An said, "Dad, okay, this is almost as good as a professional cowboy."
Dad held a shovel and said with a smile: "Back then, your grandfather was taking care of the livestock in the production team. I used to do this job when I was a child. Now that I am older, when I was a little younger than you, I could clean a large room with just this time."
The cow dung in the cowshed is full of cow dung." His pride was beyond words. He also looked down upon Ju An and his brother-in-law.
After brushing the horse and putting on the saddle, my father said, "Find a horse with a good temper and let me try it too."
Ju An and his brother-in-law both looked at their father in surprise: "You can also ride a horse? I've never heard of you mentioning it. Don't pretend you know how. Falling off is not fun."
Dad said: "Watching you ride yesterday, I felt greedy in my heart. When I was a kid, there were cows and horses in the commune, and no one's children knew how to ride. Even after the reform and opening up, no one raised big animals like cows and horses anymore.
I have changed to a tractor that is easier to use. I haven’t ridden it in decades, so I asked you to find a good-tempered one and give it a try.”
After hearing this, Ju An had no choice but to get another water rein from the wall, and rode Doucao out. He asked Nancy for help in choosing the most honest horse. Ju An only cared about Doucao and Xuehua for the horse.
Not all of them are very welcome, at least these two foodies are like that.
When Nancy harnessed the horse, she saw that it didn't look like a horse, but looked a bit like a cow, with black and white stripes all over its body.
After riding on bean grass and leading the cow for a few steps, we arrived at the stable door. At this time, my father and brother-in-law were already waiting at the door.
He handed the reins of the cow to his father, and he also said: "There are horses of this color, all in China are the same color as water."
Ju An explained: "This is an American pinto horse. Don't tell me when you were a child. It is probably only a few years since it was introduced to China."
He took out a spare saddle and seat cushion from the stable and gave them to Dad. Dad skillfully laid out the cushions and got on the horse. When the girth was tightened, he asked: "Why are there only front straps and where are the back straps?"
”.
Ju An had no choice but to find a girdle for his father. After doing this, his father stepped on the stirrups and got on the horse. Ju An was a little worried and pulled Shui to rein in the horse.
His father sat on the horse and felt it: "This saddle is much more comfortable than the Yuanbao saddle when I was a child. Let me go and I will take a few steps to see." Ju An had no choice but to let go, but he did not dare to leave and follow the cows for a few seconds.
After a few steps, I discovered that my father could indeed ride a horse, but his posture looked awkward to Ju An, with his legs splayed out and sandwiching the horse's belly. No wonder some people said that riding a horse can easily lead to bow-legged posture. This was the old posture before relationships.
I watched my dad spin around again, and when he came back, my dad praised him: "This horse is well trained, and it's much smarter than the horses I rode when I was a kid." He patted the horse's neck as he spoke.
Dad suggested a lap, so Ju An had to get on the horse too. My brother-in-law felt sorry for him and had to drive the four-wheeler out of the warehouse. When Ju An got on, his father flicked the horse's butt with the reins and shouted: "
"Drive". The cow started to trot.
Ju An gently pinched Doucao, and Doucao followed happily. His brother-in-law did not lag behind at all on his small four-wheel motorcycle.
After running for a while, Doucao kept half a horse's distance ahead of the cow until the end.
Returning to the stable, his father said to Ju An: "Ducao, not only does he look good, but he also has a fire in his heart. He is a good horse."
Ju An touched the bridge of Doucao's nose lovingly.
When the father and son tied up their horses and walked back to the house, they found that Jerry and Emily had arrived at some unknown time and were riding sheep with Tongtong and Ran Ran in the small fence in front of the yard. Today Jerry and Ai
Mili obviously came well-prepared, as she was fully equipped with leather covers and Kuma boots.
When Ju An saw it, Little Jerry was grabbing the sheep's neck with both hands, and his whole body was lying on the sheep's back. The sheep was running with him on its back. After a while, the sheep threw Little Jerry off.
Little Jerry got up, clapped his hands triumphantly, and said to Ran Ran: "Ran Ran, your turn." Although the pronunciation of the word "Ran Ran" is a bit awkward, you can still hear it if you pay close attention.
Ran Ran was a little scared. She wanted to ride but didn't dare to go up. Ju An walked over and encouraged him and said: "Ran Ran, don't be afraid. You see, little Jerry is so brave. We, Ran Ran, are also little men."
Ran Ran straightened her chest and walked up. At this time, Little Jerry had already clamped the sheep's neck with his arms. When Ran Ran climbed on the sheep's back and hugged the sheep's neck, Little Jerry let go.
Not long after he let go of his hand, Ran Ran's body tilted, and he was thrown off by the sheep within a few seconds. Fortunately, the fence was full of fine sand, and the sheep couldn't run very fast, so nothing happened to them.
When Ran Ran clapped her hands and stood up, she still had an excited smile on her face,
Then Tongtong went. Little Tongtong was not afraid at all. He got on the back of the sheep and asked Jerry to let go. Although Jerry let go this time, he still ran with the lamb. Ju An knew that the little guy was protecting him.
After riding Tongtong for a shorter time than Ranran, he was thrown off. Little Jerry immediately went over and helped Tongtong up.
Then when little Emily was riding, little Jerry was also protecting her. It didn't take long for Emily to be thrown off.
After watching for a while, Ju An, his brother-in-law and his father returned to the porch and pulled up some chairs to sit and watch the little ones playing.
The four little guys took turns to ride it again. At this time, Jerry grabbed the sheep by the neck and knocked the sheep down hard. He also uttered a few words in English from time to time, probably talking to Ranran and Tongtong about throwing the sheep.
skills.
No matter whether Ran Ran and Tongtong could not understand or they understood his English with a Montana accent, after teaching him several times, they let Ran Ran go up and throw him. Ran Ran was not afraid this time. He went over and hugged the sheep's neck and threw him.
After working for a long time, the sheep began to bleat without falling down.
At this time, little Jerry went over and pushed the lamb down, and then it fell down. When it was Tongtong's turn, Tongtong and little Emily came together. The two little guys were smart, and one of them pressed the neck.
One of them pulled the lamb's leg. Due to his weak strength, it took him a while to knock the sheep over.
My brother-in-law sat and watched it for a while and said with deep emotion: "Our children are too squeamish now."
Ju An looked at his brother-in-law and said, "Children are just playing. Why didn't I see that Tongtong is so squeamish?"
The brother-in-law shook his head: "I'm not talking about Tongtong alone, but the children in our country are all only children now, and all of them are babies. It's nothing like when we were young, when the elder brother took care of the younger sister, and the older sister took care of him.
I was playing with my younger brother, and looking at little Jerry, I remembered that when we were young, we didn’t have the pampering of our parents, but our older brothers and sisters would lead us to play wildly. I watched them play for a while, and the quality shown by little Jerry was unstoppable.
He pushed the sheep a little, and then Tongtong and her sister followed while riding. It was obvious how good the tutors were. I once read in a magazine that China trains technical backbones for the United States, and Americans train their own leaders.
Several teachers and I even laughed at it because we also produced world-renowned scientists such as Deng Jiaxian and Qian Xuesen. But now I think about it, that was all in the past. A few decades and almost a hundred years ago, China now has
There are several scientists who are as rich as Deng and Deng. Why, after so many years of development in our education, are we not as good as the number of masters we produced when there was basically no national education?”
Ju An said with a smile: "I have never met many American children. I have only met two, Little Jerry and Emily. The conclusion you drew is probably a partial generalization."
The brother-in-law shook his head: "I only saw one when I came here. The key is that I have been teaching for several years and have never seen a Chinese child like Little Jerry. There are quite a few children who can help me manage my students."
"That means you have organizational skills, which is not bad," Ju An said.
The brother-in-law said melancholy: "It's different, it's different. What little Jerry embodies is the youthful vigor. All those in China are like little leaders."
