Forty-four, the chance encounter at Hanwei Racecourse
In the morning, Tang Ming came back from the stable, wiped his car clean, wiped it clean, finished his work, raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was already more than nine o'clock, so he drove away from the ranch, walked for more than an hour, and came to Qin Hao's Qinghe Ranch.
Tang Ming drove the car directly to the front of Qin Hao's small building, got out of the car, Qin Hao heard the sound of the car, came out of the house, saw that it was Tang Ming, walked over directly, and said, "Brother Tang, I was about to pick you up at the door, but I didn't expect you to arrive so soon." ”
Tang Ming said: "Brother Qin, you don't need to see you like this, I just came to see you and your sister-in-law." ”
Tang Mingnian took back a lot of things when he came to be a guest, and this time he also brought some hometown specialties, and he specially sent them to Qin Hao today.
Qin Hao said: "Let's go, go into the house and sit down." ”
When they entered the house, they saw Sun Mei sitting in the living room with another young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, watching TV.
Qin Hao introduced: "Brother Tang, this is my son Qin Sinuo, who came from China a few years ago and is going to college in China, Sinuo, come and call Uncle Tang." ”
Qin Sinuo got up from the sofa, walked up to Tang Ming, and said, "Uncle Tang, hello." ”
Although Tang Ming was a little uncomfortable being called uncle by a young man who was only seven or eight years younger than him, he still nodded with a smile and said, "Hello, my name is Tang Ming." ”
"Come, Brother Tang, sit down and talk. Qin Hao greeted warmly.
"Hmm. Tang Ming sat next to Qin Hao, and Sun Mei went to make tea for them.
Qin Hao said: "Brother Tang, you came just in time, I was about to take Si Nuo to buy a horse, let's go over and have a look." ”
Tang Ming knew that there were a lot of horses in Qinghe Ranch, and there was no shortage of horses at all, so he asked very curiously, "Brother Qin, what kind of horse do you want to buy?"
Qin Hao said: "Sino likes Arabian horses and thoroughbreds very much, I want to buy one for him, this time we are going to Hanwei Horse Farm, which is a well-known horse farm in Queensland and even the whole of Australia, and there are many champion-blooded horses in it." ”
Tang Ming was very interested after hearing this, he was about to see Arabian horses and purebreds, so he said, "Okay, let's go together." ”
Tang Ming and Qin Hao drank a pot of tea and walked out of the house, Tang Ming said, "Brother Qin, you and Si Nuo can take my car." ”
Qin Hao said: "Okay, I'll drive the province." ”
Tang Ming got into the driver's seat, Qin Sinuo got into the passenger seat, Qin Hao sat in the back, Tang Ming drove out of Qinghe Ranch, and Qin Hao showed Tang Ming the way.
Tang Ming chatted with Qin Hao while driving, and after chatting for a while, he turned his head to look at Qin Sinuo and asked, "Where is Sinuo going to what university?"
Qin Sinuo said: "I went to Jinling University and am already a sophomore. ”
Tang Ming said: "Jinling University, yes, the top ten universities in China are much better than me, I went to a second-rate university, and I can't rank in the top 100 in China, since my grades are so good, why didn't I come to Australia to go to university." ”
There are several world-ranked universities in Australia, such as the Australian National University, the University of Sydney, the University of Melbourne, etc.
Qin Hao said: "He doesn't want to come, we usually can't feel it in the countryside, in fact, Australia's racial discrimination is very serious, more powerful than the United States, Si Nuo was reluctant to go to high school in Australia for a year, so I sent him back to China, and Australia is too deserted, so we are willing to come, others can't stand it, Si Nuo will also develop in China after school, and when I and your sister-in-law are old, we will also have the opportunity to return to our roots." ”
The two problems of racial discrimination and returning to the roots of the fallen leaves are faced by the mainland Chinese of the new immigrants in Australia, but Tang Ming is not deeply touched, after he arrived in Australia, he has not encountered racial discrimination, as for the return of the leaves to the roots, he is even more incomprehensible, although he will automatically lose his Chinese nationality when he joins the Australian nationality, and he will be regarded as a foreigner when he returns to the National Assembly, but he has not yet become naturalized, and may be naturalized one day in the future, but who can know what will happen in the future, maybe by then dual citizenship will be allowed in China.
Tang Ming and the others chatted happily, feeling that time passed quickly, more than two hours passed, and when they passed by a small town, the car stopped for a while, ate something in the town, and went on the road again.
Coming out of the town, I walked for more than an hour, and finally arrived at Hanwei Racecourse.
It is a horse farm that covers an area of only 300 acres, but there are hundreds of horses in the farm, such as Arabian horses, thoroughbreds, Dutch warmbloods, Andalusian horses, and so on.
Tang Ming and the others parked their cars in the parking lot outside the racecourse, and a staff member of the racecourse took them into the racecourse and introduced them.
For example, what is the pedigree of this horse, the paternal or maternal line has won the championship of those competitions, and what about that horse, Tang Ming was dizzy when he heard it.
Tang Ming and they looked at four or five stables in a row, Qin Sinuo fell in love with a five-year-old Arabian horse with a red date, Qin Hao stepped forward to take a closer look at the horse, asked about the pedigree and price, and asked Qin Sihao, and finally decided to buy this horse, but Qin Hao hoped to see how the horse performed on the track, after all, he didn't buy this horse for Qin Sihao to play as a pet, but hoped that it could be on the field.
The staff of the racecourse led Tang Ming and them to the racecourse, and a jockey rode the horse and showed it to Tang Ming.
After looking at it for a while, Tang Ming's eyes were attracted by a figure, this was a female knight, riding a pure white horse, galloping and jumping on the track, and her sassy heroic posture left a deep impression on him.
Qin Hao found Qin Hao's gaze and teased with a smile: "Why, I fell in love with that girl." ”
Tang Ming shook his head and said, "No, I just feel that the girl's posture on horseback is quite good-looking." ”
"Huh. Qin Hao laughed a few times, called the horse farm staff who followed them, and asked, "Is the girl riding the horse on the track a jockey?"
"No, her name is Cornelia, the daughter of our horse owner, and she often comes to ride horses," said the horse farm staff. ”
Qin Hao said with a smile: "It turned out to be Mr. Baird's daughter, Brother Tang, you have to work hard, this flower is not so easy to pick." ”
Tang Ming said helplessly: "Brother Qin, don't talk nonsense, I really didn't mean that." ”
Qin Hao said: "Okay, don't talk about it, you stay here for a while, I'll go settle the payment." ”
Qin Hao left, and Tang Ming continued to chase the figure of the female knight.
The female knight rode the horse for a few laps, stopped near Tang Ming, got off the horse, took off her hat, revealing a brilliant blonde hair, the female knight threw her hair back, took out a rope and tied it into a ponytail, Tang Ming saw her delicate and delicate face that was not like a Westerner, and a pair of charming brown-green eyes, and was instantly fascinated.
