5 Birthday celebrations
Leaving Tanya and Natasha in the care of the nanny, everyone who lives in the Bricken Farm attends Nadia and Vera's birthday celebration - the entire catering plan was done by Lin Yilong alone, mainly Korean barbecue.
When eating meat, Lin Yilong felt what it means to "melt in your mouth" - the marble texture of beef is melted by temperature and attached to the connective membrane acted by lean meat, and when it can be eaten, it really melts into the mouth like heated cheese strips, leaving a very strong meat flavor.
Although the way to eat is "violent and natural" according to some gourmets, it is only in this way that you can eat the original taste of meat. Moreover, the black beef is just an addition to the birthday celebration, giving Lin's father, Lin's mother, and the opportunity to express their blessings to the Yeang sisters together, and the subsequent activities are the main ones.
The elders would not participate in the activities between the young people, and after sharing the birthday cake of Nadia and Vera, they found an excuse to leave the forest farm house, leaving time for the young people.
The Yeon sisters rarely appeared in public with Lin Yilong. Katie, as Lin Yilong's fixed female companion, has more responsibilities in this regard. Because of this, apart from the musical "Les Miserables", it is difficult for the Yeon sisters to get the opportunity to attend a reception dinner with Lin Yilong, such as an opera house or a concert hall. The Yeon sisters had to admit the fact that they knew very little about Lin except for two business entities, "Brecken Forest Farm Ltd." and "Lynn's Law Firm", which bears Lin's name. They only have a general impression that Lin Yilong's wealth comes from the capital market. As for which stocks or portfolios they invested in, they have no way of knowing. can only believe for the time being that "after graduating with a doctorate, he will be able to share the financial work for Lin Yilong".
Since mass entertainment can't be used for pastime, the Yeon sisters can't participate in niche entertainment activities. They are breastfeeding, because of many taboos, they can't go to bars, let alone nightclubs, and the gym and swimming pool in Brecken Tree Farm are fully equipped, and even the movie theater is available, so there is no need to go outside - Nadia and Vera regretted for the first time that they didn't take advantage of the "freedom" to find some hobbies or interests for themselves, so they could only wait for Lin Yilong to arrange the so-called "surprise" for them.
Lin Yilong drove the sisters north on a motorcycle, into the Bracken Mountains. Before dark, stopped at a farmhouse-like place.
"Mr. Lin. The owner of the farmhouse welcomed Lin Yilong and his party at the door, "I'll take you to see those things." ”
"It's a birthday surprise for both of you. Lin Yilong smiled and said, "I hope you don't get scared." ”
Nadia probably guessed from the sign at the entrance of the farmhouse what the surprise Lin Yilong was preparing.
The Yeon sisters followed Lin Yilong through a rain-soaked corridor and into the stables.
"Two ponies. Lin Yilong revealed his gift, "I hope you like it." ”
The two ponies were picked up by Lin from a nearby horse farm and were not too fast - they were originally raised to adapt to the mountainous terrain of the valley valley region of southern Wales. "Pony" refers to a species of horse with an average height of less than 14.2 palms wide – 58 inches or 147 cm – and the phrase "pony" is more accurate than a pony. If we take into account the purpose of "horse" and "pony", ponies are more lively, have more stamina, and have a stronger ability to cross obstacles. Even though the Welsh Mountain ponies were not originally designed to be ridden and were not fast, they were well suited to the undulating terrain of the Bracken Hills and the Welsh Vale, so Lin bought them and stored them in a stable in the Bracken National Park.
Lin Yilong originally took into account the problem of the stable when planning the functional area of the forest farm, and set the stable downstairs in the staff lounge of the forest farm. However, first, the all-terrain vehicles and tools of the forest farm workers had to find a place to store them, and second, Lin Yilong knew nothing about horses, and the Bracken Forest Farm did not have the conditions for raising horses. Lin Yilong is a very strong believer in the dogma of "social division of labor", and it is obviously better to hand it over to professionals than himself or the Yeon sisters, who have not yet started, and the cost of 900 pounds a month is not unaffordable. He fostered the two ponies in the stables on the west side of Bracken Park, where they were cared for by professional breeders along with 40 other equestrian enthusiasts.
"If you need to go for a ride, just give the phone call, this horse farm provides a horse transportation service. Lin Yilong said, "The rest, except for the lawn next to our house and the forest farm flower garden where horseback riding is not allowed, the rest of the places are arbitrary." ”
The sisters cautiously touched the pony's neck, and the pony meekly stuck to the fence gate and let the sisters pet it.
"This is a nice birthday present. Nadia sighed with some hope, "If only we could build a stable in our house." ”
"The main thing is that we don't have a dedicated person to manage the stables, and the work inside is really not good. Lin Yilong replied, "On the one hand, you have to take care of the children, and on the other hand, you have to think about your own career, except for a few days a quarter, you will not have time to take care of the horses, so it is best." ”
Knowing that Lin Yilong's words were his final decision, Nadia was a little dumbfounded.
"There's a lot of 'common land' in the countryside of Bracken Park, and there's a lot of places where horses are allowed to travel, so if you find it interesting, you can go there. Lin Yilong didn't want to give away this birthday gift only regrettably, and added this statement, "In this way, you can ride as long as you need to, and you don't need to maintain it yourself for the rest of the time, which can save a lot of effort." ”
That said, there is a fundamental difference between a horse that can be ridden and a pet horse. Lin Yilong doesn't like pets - it should be said that except for Lin's father who raised two parrot fish himself, everyone else, including Yeang and his wife, has no habit of keeping pets - the main reason is that Lin Yilong is allergic to cat hair and dog hair, and is even more insensitive to lice on cats and dogs.
"Okay, I see. Vera said, "It's best for the time being." ”
"If you are riding a horse, you have to choose a suitable saddle bridle for yourself, which you usually carry with you. Lin Yilong babbled and said, "Of course, I will find you a private classroom in equestrianism, if there is nothing to do, it is good to go to the class." Everything you need to know about riding, you'll probably know. ”
Nadia and Vera nodded, knowing that they were really lacking some knowledge about it, and signed up for the equestrian training class in the stable.
