Chapter 269: Miniature Pony
"Of course, the tea has no healing effect, the key is the water. It was a spring that I had gotten from far away, and it could cure my stomachache. "Gao Xi is a big deal, but it doesn't matter, his father is going home soon, and it's unlikely that he's going to investigate the truth of this matter.
"Yes, I've heard people say that spring water can cure diseases, but I didn't expect it to be real. By the way, you're going home, haven't you discussed the itinerary with your mother? Gao Chengde's stomach didn't hurt anymore, and he began to care about business.
"I'll send you to San Francisco by plane, then go to Shangpu for a few days, and then fly back to Shaanzhou. That's it, Yuanyuan and Zhao Ming will follow back when the time comes. Gaucy said.
"Zhao Ming? What is he going back to do, how long has he been working, and he wants to go home? Gao Chengde frowned.
"Dad, don't be angry, it's not that he wants to go back, it's that I want him to go back. This time I can take care of you on the road, after all, a few of you can speak English is the only one, secondly, I also want him to go back and discuss the matter of Jiejie and Haohao with his family, the child is also very adaptable to living here, there is nothing bad about studying here in the future, if their family is also going to come over with them, then come over, with Zhao Ming's current income, it is not too difficult to get a house in Bozeman, not to mention that my ranch is so big, there is a place for them to live, there are more people and lively, I will go out in the future, Someone else chatted with you and my mom. Gao Xi hurriedly explained.
"Oh, yes, that's fine." Gao Chengde nodded, and the anger subsided.
In fact, it is understandable that Gao Chengde has always been dissatisfied with Zhao Ming's son-in-law, after all, he failed to bring Gao Yuanyuan a good life, which made Gao Chengde always uncomfortable.
"Uncle! Uncle! I also rode with Bobby Jr. today, and I won the championship, but they didn't ride as well as me. ”
As he was talking, Hao Hao ran down from upstairs and threw himself directly into Gao Xi's arms and said.
"Children are not allowed to lie, you are so small. How can you ride a horse? There should be an adult to help, Dad, this little guy went to Bobby's house again today? "Gossi didn't know much because he left early in the morning. I asked.
"Yes, Okocha came to pick them up, saying that they bought a few small horses, I don't know much, anyway, I heard that the horse is only more than a hundred centimeters tall. Children can ride on it. Gao Chengde explained.
"Harnick ponies?" Gao Xi is also a rancher now, and he must still have studied these livestock, don't look at him and don't worry about anything all day, in fact, he has always cared about the ranch, or it can be said that he cares about it because he likes it.
"Yes, yes, it's Harnick's little pony, you know this kind of horse?" Gao Chengde asked.
"This is a small, physical horse that was crossed between a Hackney horse and a Welsh miniature horse. Almost exclusively for exhibitions. Its form and high leg raises resemble those of a Hackney horse. The Hackney pony is about 117 to 145 centimeters tall. In both the United Kingdom and the United States, it is registered in the same pedigree register as the Hackney horse, and is commonly used as a mount for children, and is said to have been bred in the Welsh mountains. Gao Xi had studied this question, so his father's question really didn't count to him.
"I haven't heard of such horses." Gao Chengde scratched his head and said.
"Actually, I think the small pony that is really more suitable for children to ride is the Shedland small horse, which has been commonly used by children for fun and riding for a long time. Native to the Sedland Islands of Scotland. Able to adapt to the harsh climate and poor food. Originally used as a pack horse, it was introduced to England around 1850 as a horse for coal mines. Around the same time, it was introduced to the United States and was bred into a more beautiful breed suitable for children to ride. With the exception of certain pygmy miniature ponies formed by genetic variation, the Shedland miniature pony is the shortest of the horses. The average height is 102 cm. Up to 117 cm. There is a wide range of body colors and spots. Long life and easy to raise. As long as the training method is good, he will show a gentle temperament and be docile. It's really the best for kids. Gao Xi said with a smile.
"Well, there are such horses, and Okocha bought a small Harnik horse. Also bought a small Shetlan horse. ”
"Just two horses, what does he want to do?" Gossey asked.
"Didn't there be children in the last tour, the same age as Haohao and Bobby, these little ones also want to ride horses, but the big horses are too dangerous, and Okocha thought at that time. It would have been nice to get a few ponies, so I went and bought two, which are said to be not cheap. Gao Chengde replied.
"He has a heart." Gao Xi smiled, and then said to Haohao: "You said you won the championship, do you like to ride that kind of pony?" ”
"Like! It's very majestic to ride on. Hao Hao said.
Since this little guy came to Gaucy's ranch, he has been riding the Hulk as his own mount, so this riding skill is still quite powerful, at least the size of Shedran's small pony is compared to the Hulk, it should be smaller, and Haohao will naturally be more handy when riding, so his words are really not bragging.
"If you like it, the next time you come to the ranch, your uncle will prepare this kind of pony for you, and let you play on our ranch, okay?" Gao Xi used to hate children very much, and he thought it was quite annoying, but after more contact, he really thought that these little guys were cute, obedient and fun.
He has no children of his own, so he naturally loves his sister's two children very much. Besides, it's not like it's a small pony, and he doesn't have no money to buy it.
At this time, my sister Gao Yuanyuan hugged Jiejie downstairs, and after hearing it, she said: "Brother, don't buy it, you spoil these two little guys too much, but this is going back, and they are all making excuses, saying that there are no horses to ride at home, no dogs to ride at home, and no little Bobby at home, which makes me have a headache." Besides, brother, you are a ranch, it's different from the Okocha family, the Okocha family makes a tourist ranch, and you can buy that kind of pony to watch, and you can let children ride and play, what are you buying it for, it's a waste of money. ”
"Do I like it? Nowadays, parents buy toy cars for their children, can you say that this is a waste? Besides, I really don't expect this ranch to make much money, as long as it's enough for me to spend, just those shares I have outside, there are a lot of dividends every year, not to mention...... Forget it, you don't understand, I'm going to buy it for them as an uncle, and you are not allowed to stop it. ”
Gao Xi originally wanted to say that there are still gold mines in his space that have not been developed, and if they are developed, it will be even richer, and it is just to spend a little money to buy horses for children, and it is not to buy gold and silver, which is really nothing.
He knew that the price of that kind of small horse was very expensive, more expensive than the big one, but what was it, he didn't want much, he just bought one or two, Okocha could afford it, could he not afford it?
"Okay, okay, I don't care, I knew that the men in our family were stubborn donkeys, and I couldn't control you." Gao Yuanyuan shook her head helplessly and said.
"That's pretty much it. Jiejie, come and sit here with your uncle, tell your uncle, you're going home soon, what else do you want, uncle will buy it for you? Gao Xi is actually reluctant to let these two children go home, he just doesn't want to show it, these two little guys are crying and arguing and refusing to go home, and if he makes trouble here, this thing can't be done.
"Uncle, can you give me some money, I'm going to buy a gift for Sister Hermione and Brother Bobby."
"I'm going to buy it too." Hao Hao also said hurriedly.
"Oh, the two little guys are good, they all know how to buy gifts for friends, it's rare, it looks like they've grown up during this time." Gossi was really surprised, in the past, where did his niece and nephew know who to buy gifts for, and when they saw people, they wanted to eat deliciously, and during this time they lived here, they probably had a long time of contact with Hermione, the eldest child, so they learned some etiquette.
"I'm also going to buy gifts for the kids." Hao Hao added.
Zhao Zihao's popularity in the kindergarten is still quite good, other children sometimes buy delicious food and give him to eat, of course he keeps this in mind, he has always wanted to return the favor, just now Jiejie mentioned the gift, he thought of it.
"Brother, I have to say more, it's okay to buy gifts, but I don't want them to spend too much money. You love them for your freedom, but you can't develop an arrogant character. This is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, you also know the situation of our family, I can't keep you raising these two little guys. Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but say again.
"Well, what you said is reasonable, you can't cultivate their too extravagant style, then buy some practical gifts, buy some delicious food or school utensils for Haohao's children, and buy something special for Bobby and Hermione. In fact, no matter what you buy, as long as these two little guys buy it, I believe that Hermione and Bobby will definitely like it. Gao Xi is not the kind of person who dotes to death, he likes the two little guys, but he will never spoil too much, Gao Yuanyuan's words make sense, then he has to listen.
"I agree." Gao Yuanyuan said.
"You, you, this is really good at educating children. Even Okocha said that these two children of your family are very cute because they know how to be polite and can help the family with housework, but his little Bobby is much more naughty, and he doesn't touch housework at all until now, even if he is forced, it is useless. Gao Xi smiled bitterly: "You might as well go to the kindergarten to be a teacher in the future, that is definitely a good hand." ”
"What can I do, but I just learned it from my mother. Our traditional Chinese method of educating children is still very desirable. Gao Yuanyuan said.
"You're not talking about hitting children, are you? Now even in China, it is illegal to beat a child? ”
"It's not about beating children, don't think about traditional Chinese education and just think about whether it's good or not, really." Gao Yuanyuan shook her head helplessly and said: "There are a lot of good things left by the ancestors, it depends on whether they will be chosen." (To be continued.) )
