Next chapter

As we get closer to the traditional Chinese New Year, the atmosphere of this New Year will naturally become more and more sufficient. With the improvement of people's living standards, some customs have naturally changed, such as the Chinese New Year's Eve meal, many people dislike the cumbersome and do not do it at home, several relatives this part of the money so shared in the restaurant to book a table, simple and trouble-free and several families are also lively together.

More people in the city near Gushan choose to put the New Year's holiday in Gushan for a few days, for a variety of reasons, horse fans are naturally to see the world-class famous horse showdown, and young people who like stars can also come to see the stars, the Spring Festival celebration is now clear that there are more than a dozen first-line stars present, they will appear in the Gushan Racecourse, one of them will have the opportunity to sing the theme song.

There are also some for the fashion awards, which are divided into two groups, one is for the money, the other is for the famous, the money does not need to be explained, the reason for the famous is because of the best dress award selected by the Gushan Jockey Club, which is jointly selected by the editors-in-chief of top fashion magazines in China and the United States, not only the selection, but the final results will be announced in several major magazines, that is to say, their faces will be shown in the world's top fashion magazines. This alone has attracted a large number of second- and third-tier small actors and models.

For a while, the major hotels on this side of Gushan were overcrowded, and the whole Spring Festival was more crowded than usual, and as for the large and small tourist ranches, there was already a phenomenon that it was difficult to find a bed as early as a month ago.

Famous horses, celebrities and money have attracted countless repeat customers and new guests to gather in the young city of Gushan in the New Year, and the level of the competition is now fully guaranteed, the New Year celebration alone has signed up for as many as 70 foreign horses, and many of the famous GI horses who won the races the previous year have appeared at the New Year celebration, including Japan's Takarazuka Memorial Champion 7-year-old tap dance and Arima Memorial Champion Horse 4-year-old desert hero, British Yesen Champion Northern Light, and a number of other horses that hold large and small championships and runners-up.

It has been proved that the level of the competition in Gushan is not strong, and the prize money can also attract good horses to participate. Of course, such a strong prize money also means that soon these tournaments will change from CI to GI.

As soon as so many good horses arrived, it was not without bad, the most obvious disadvantage was that Gao Ren's plan went bankrupt, and the big shock in the 2-year-old horse race was eliminated in the preliminaries, not that the big shock was not good, but at this distance, it had no advantage compared with the winning horse, and the final finalist was only eighteen, look at the list of the last five finals, it was simply a small eight-nation alliance, China, the United States, Japan, Britain, France, Australia, and love, all alive. It's a shock that it's a strong horse, but it's not a god horse, and you can win any game.

However, there were gains and losses, and Orchid Sauce and Rose Sauce broke into the grass and mud finals of the Horse Race, and this big celebration was not a game for nothing anyway.

Early in the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he pushed the door open, and a cold wind blew straight towards him, and Lu Xiancheng couldn't help but shudder by the cold wind, tightened his coat, and prepared to go out.

Now the heavy snow outside has stopped, more than 20 centimeters of snow is overwhelming, and the world is covered with silver makeup, although it is a big clear grass, but I don't see the sun emerging from the horizon, but a white one, it seems that God is going to confirm that the weather forecast that has always been not very accurate is accurate today, and there is heavy snow in the evening.

"Hurry up!" Mei Qinrui's voice and her slapping sound from behind.

Lu Xiancheng didn't have to turn his head to know that this was his daughter-in-law urging the three children to get up and go to the stable to brush the horses, almost every morning the four of them had to come like this, which was no surprise to Lu Xiancheng.

"Early in the morning, what are you two crazy about!" At this time, Lu Muzhi stuck her head out of the door with her messy hair: "Don't let people sleep, it's only now!" ”。

Niu Niu rubbed his eyes and cried and said, "Auntie, we are going to brush the horse!" ”。 As he spoke, his little face was full of grievances, and his eyes were staring at his aunt for sympathy.

Lu Muzhi opened her mouth and said: "Sister-in-law, the child's work is not bad for a day or two, today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve!" It's no big deal to take a day off! ”。

Mei Qinrui nodded and said: "Well, that's the way it is, otherwise, the child goes to sleep, you get up and help the child take care of the three horses, it's very simple, it's three small ponies, and together it is about the size of a big horse, how about it?" ”。

"Ouch! Auntie's headache, aunt has to go back to bed and lie down for a while, you guys do a good job! "As soon as Lu Muzhi heard that the child didn't brush it and wanted to brush it herself, she immediately stopped doing it. The headache was very timely, and while covering his head, he immediately retracted his body.

Mei Qinrui looked at Lu Muzhi's appearance, smiled and said to her stunned children: "Okay, put on a scarf and go to the stable to brush the horses, wait for the horses to be brushed, you can play in the snow with the grandparents, look outside, how beautiful!" ”。

While speaking, Mei Qinrui picked up the children's scarves from the clothes rack at the door, and went around the little head several times, almost showing only two eyes around the children, and each person wore two-toed gloves on the rope on their hands, and then checked the equipment on the child's body, coat cotton pants, long-haired inner timid horse boots, plus scarves and gloves.

When she arrived at the door of the stable, she saw Lu Xiancheng walking out with the furnace dust, and Mei Qinrui couldn't help but ask curiously, "It's been taken care of so quickly?" Impossible! ”。

"How can I have such a fast speed, my parents and aunts, even my grandmother got up early in the morning to help us brush the horses" Lu Xiancheng said as he stretched out his hand and pointed in.

The old man slept less, and got up at four o'clock, and there was nothing to do on the side of the servants, so they simply discussed going to the stable to take care of a few horses, so that the juniors could sleep a little longer.

As for why I didn't see Lu Xinghua, it was because the more the New Year, the busier the director and secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, was already a member of the Municipal Standing Committee, and he was either busy with group worship or on duty during the Spring Festival, and he didn't even have the opportunity to eat a meal at home, so every year Li Fangbing took Lu Muzhi to the ranch to celebrate the New Year

Hearing this, Mei Qinrui said to Lu Xiancheng: "Then you wait for me for a while, I'll be ready to run around in the saddle!" ”。

Lu Xiancheng nodded when he heard this: "Okay, I'll wait here, you take the child in!" ”。

There is no need to worry about the elderly with children, the biggest fun of the old people now is to play with the juniors, and after waiting to go in, the little guys naturally want to play with the four elders, and Mei Qinrui has a rare vacation in a year.

Lu Xiancheng waited at the door for five or six minutes, and saw Mei Qinrui coming out with a loach, followed by Erha.

"Okay?" Lu Xiancheng asked.

Mei Qinrui nodded, and turned over and sat on the horse's back with the help of the horse stone next to her: "Don't run in the pasture, it's all grass here, and the snow can't run fast, let's get on the horse and run for a while today."

"Whatever you want! At this time, how to run, how to run" Lu Xiancheng smiled and urged the furnace dust and his daughter-in-law to run side by side towards the entrance of the road.

As soon as they entered the horse road, the couple immediately rode their horses and galloped, although there was a little snow on the horse road, but there was no grass as deep as the pasture, and the safety was much greater when they galloped.

There was not a single person on the whole road, and the leaves on many of the trees in the winter had withered, and only the bare tree poles remained, because of a heavy snowfall, these bare trees were either piled with snow or hung with ice ridges, which was very beautiful. Although when I started running, I felt that the oncoming air was a little biting cold, and even when I inhaled it into my lungs, I felt comfortable when I waited for a while and my whole body was moving.

Although Gushan is located between the mountains, but after all, it is still in the south of the Yangtze River, and the temperature is not as high as twenty or thirty degrees in winter in the north, even when it snows, it is only minus four or five degrees here.

The two of them ran until they began to sweat all over their bodies, and the noses of the two mounts began to puff white smoke rapidly, and the husband and wife stopped.

"Where is this?" Mei Qinrui unscrewed a bottle of water on her body and took a sip of it herself, then handed it to Lu Xiancheng.

Lu Xiancheng glanced around and said, "It's time to Zhang Qiang's ranch, this is Zhang Qiang's ranch, and over there is Du Guohao's ranch!" ”。

After running for a while, he just got out of the range of his own ranch and entered the horse road of Zhang and Du's ranch.

The two were chatting, and suddenly heard a loud eagle cry in the sky, and looked up to see a gray-black eagle coiled above their heads, flying not at a high level, only more than 20 meters. As soon as they saw this state, both of them knew that the third bastard of the ranch was coming, and this was the eagle that Zhou Ming wanted to tame but did not tame before.

In Lu Xiancheng's opinion, this eagle's brain is a little different from others, a little nervous, from the beginning of the rabbit bite stunned not to let go, and finally was pounced by the German pastor, to the ranch not long after the discovery that there is food and drink here and do not have to catch themselves, immediately rebelled, and finally let it go, it did not leave, directly on the roof of the ranch to settle down, this piece of land is regarded as their own territory, nothing to fly in the sky, When he was hungry, he fell into the kitchen of the big ranch or the lawn in front of Lu Xiancheng's house and called, and as soon as the little guy saw it, he was immediately entertained with meat.

Although Lao Lu despises this kind of tasteless eagle in his heart, he knows that this product is considered a handsome man among eagles! I know the times too well, I have something to eat after two calls, and it's still delicious veal and chicken or something, no one robs the other and no one robs, this guy's life is simply entered in advance!

Mei Qinrui saw the eaglet, and immediately knew what it meant, opened her left arm and raised it flat, and within two seconds, the eaglet had already flapped its wings and landed on Mei Qinrui's arm.

"It's okay to let it fall for what" Lu Xiancheng touched it from his pocket, remembering that he had a few pieces of chocolate in his pocket yesterday, as if there was still a piece that he hadn't eaten, he took it out twice and found the remaining piece, touched it, gestured to his daughter-in-law, saw his daughter-in-law waved his hand, broke half of it and put it in his mouth, and held the other half in his hand.

Seeing Lu Xiancheng's mouth move, Kitty Hawk stopped doing it, moved his two legs and went to Lu Xiancheng's side, Lu Xiancheng saw the appearance of this goods, directly put on gloves, bit a piece of small chocolate and put it on the hand with gloves, and stretched it out in front of Kitty Hawk.

The little thing turned away without swallowing after pecking twice.

"Look, Kitty Hawk!"

Lu Xiancheng and Mei Qinrui turned their heads when they heard the voice, and found a teenage girl riding on a horse, and a big girl in her twenties was sitting on a horse next to her.

As soon as Mei Qinrui saw this girl, she immediately smiled and stretched out her hand to say hello: "I didn't expect to meet you at this time!" When did you get here? ”。

Lu Xiancheng saw that although there was a smile on the girl's face, he was a little embarrassed in his heart, this girl was none other than Tong Yu, and Lu Xiancheng felt that Tong Yu glanced at him quickly, and then his eyes turned to Mei Qinrui, Lu Xiancheng didn't think this was his illusion.

"Our family took over a small ranch here from an old friend, and my dad likes to catch up with fashion, and he turned the ranch into a holiday villa, no, our family came here for the first year for the New Year, just by the way to see how the standard of a horse just bought by the family, I didn't expect to meet you here." Tong Yu said with a smile.

Not to mention that the whole country is the Yangtze River Delta region, now the top rich people have begun to play horses, although horse racing in the circle of ordinary people is not as good as the acceptance of football, but in the rich circle of horse racing is more and more than football, one is that Chinese football is jaw-dropping, on the other hand, the Football Association is black and speechless, I want to compare with Gushan horse racing, five or six supervision, both at home and abroad, justice and fairness can still be guaranteed, and horse racing itself is the embodiment of strength, Therefore, there are more and more people who buy horses to participate in the competition, and the level of horses that come in is getting higher and higher.

Mei Qinrui said in her heart: This is called Qiao? It's less than a mile away from our home, so what's the coincidence.

But his face was impassive, and he walked to Tong Yu's side, and said very enthusiastically: "We haven't seen each other for several years, it's been five years since your last relative's accident, how did you say this time passed so quickly."

The little girl next to Tong Yu was not interested in chatting with the two, and stared at the little eagle standing on Mei Qinrui's shoulder with a pair of big eyes, but the little eagle didn't feel anything about the little girl, she didn't look at the little girl at all, and squatted on Mei Qinrui's shoulder and took a nap.

"Yes, but when we met, I didn't think you had changed much, and you really didn't look like a mother of a child," Tong Yu smiled.

Mei Qinrui said: "You haven't changed much! You see that your face is still so ruddy, and I don't know which man is blessed to marry you."

Lu Xiancheng listened to the two women chatting for five or six minutes, completely chatting about something that was not nutritious, and then found time to ask, "What is the name of your father's horse?" ”。

"You've heard of it, Night Solo!" Tong Yu immediately said when he heard it.

"Very nice horse!" As soon as he heard the name, Lu Xiancheng remembered, the big celebration entered the final of the two-year-old horse, there is such a horse, there is no championship but the level is only in the first line, and there is also an element of luck in the final of about a mile that he is good at, but in the competition, strength is one thing, luck is also very important.

Now Lu Xiancheng feels that the horse racing in Gushan is finally a little tasteful. (To be continued.) )
