Chapter 660 of the text is another year of snow

Next chapter

When I accompanied Angel to school to participate in the donation day two days ago, the weather was still warm and sunny, but it changed. ●⌒，

Yesterday afternoon, the sky was dark for a short time, followed by four or five cold winds, and in the evening, snowflakes the size of fingernails also fell overwhelmingly.

The ground soon turned white, and in half an hour there was an ankle-deep layer of snow!

Fortunately, in the winter, the cattle grazing in the pasture are not far from the barn, and as soon as the weather changes, the experienced cowboys drive the cattle back to the barn to escape the cold and snow.

A year ago, I encountered a heavy snowfall in Michigan, but when I got up at that time, the snow had stopped, so the last time I saw such a big snowfall was a few days on Thanksgiving, and in the following more than a month, there were a few snowfalls intermittently, but it was either too short, or too stingy to enjoy the pride of enjoying the snow!

Therefore, this heavy snowfall in the middle of January of the new year really met the expectations of everyone in the ranch!

Or huddle on the sofa to watch the annual comedy, or sit around the carpet in front of the fireplace to play cards, or even drink tea and soup, the snow outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is an indispensable scenery in everyone's eyes.

However, it was pleasant to watch in the evening and night, but the next morning, the calf-deep snow also brought unavoidable trouble to Qin Yi and other men.

Well, such a strenuous task as clearing snow is always a man's job!

After wielding a wooden shovel to clear the snow in a small area at the door, Qin Yi and Ryan, who had arrived, each drove a snow plow and began to get busy, and after an hour, they finally cleared the living area and the road leading to the outside.

Qin Yi was tired and sweaty, Angel and the animals were about to be happy, running around in the snow, and the little girl finally put on skis and helmets, and put on the reins of Teddy, the kitten, and a group of puppies. Let the animals pull her back and forth!

Well, this girl doesn't even bother to use ski poles, and uses skis as simple sleds!

In the morning, Qin Yi didn't do the work of clearing the snow himself. Only Ryan and Hobbs were asked to represent the Sunriver Ranch and drive the snowplow to clear the roads around the ranch, and by the way, the streets of the town were also cleared.

In fact, in addition to being a little boring, snow removal work is still very easy. It's just a run on the road in a snowplow!

On a snowy day, Rui Qier was worried that Ryan and Susie would feel lonely, so Qin Yi simply invited everyone to the main house and gathered together to eat hot pot, the warmth of the fireplace, the spicy smell of the hot pot, and the lively atmosphere made everyone feel extremely comfortable on this snowy day!

Of course, Susa and Rui Qier have nothing to do with spicy, and the fragrant clear soup is theirs, but after controlling their diet for so long, the two of them are also very greedy. I always want to secretly taste the spicy taste, God, they feel that they are about to forget the memories of spicy!

But everyone paid attention to them, and they didn't succeed in stretching out their chopsticks several times, and Qin's mother turned even more pale: "Don't want a baby?" ”

The two daughters can only give up, but they are muttering in their hearts: After the baby is born, they must eat and drink for a month, and make up all the delicious foods that they want to eat but can't eat at once

It's a pity that no matter how ruthless you are, it will be a few months later. At the moment, just bear with it!

Just after lunch, everyone was still sitting together chatting, and Qin Yi received a call from Mayor Marcus. The family was invited to participate in the competition.

After careful questioning, it was revealed that in order to welcome the first heavy snow of the new year, the town was planning to hold a competition called "Charge the Minotaur" tomorrow morning.

The rules of the competition are that each family chooses two contestants to compete, and the contestants must wear a minotaur helmet (provided during the competition), and there are no other requirements.

The runner lies on his stomach on a two-meter-diameter circular skateboard. At the top of the two-meter-high and five-meter-long slope, he was pushed down and slid out by Player 2.

However, player 2 must jump on the skateboard within two seconds of sliding, otherwise make a second attempt; During the sliding period, the two competitors are not allowed to touch the slide in any way or in any medium other than the skateboard, otherwise, a second attempt will be made as well.

Each family has two chances to change players halfway through, but if they fail both attempts, they will be disqualified!

There is a final line five meters away from the bottom of the slope front, and the top 10 families with the shortest distance between the final stop and the final line will win, and the winner will receive a Minotaur Warrior Trophy, carved out of wood!

After Qin Yi figured these out, he thought it was very interesting, so he agreed to participate in the competition, and occasionally took his family to go crazy, which was also a very good entertainment.

However, considering the final prize, he decided that a trophy might not be attractive enough, so he changed the reward to the top 10 families who won the event, in addition to the trophy, a free day trip to Angel's Farm!

By doing so, he is sponsoring the competition, but it costs tens of hundreds of dollars for one family to play on the farm for one day, and a few hundred dollars for ten families, which is not worth mentioning to him!

After talking about the matter, everyone was also very interested, and said that they would follow along tomorrow to take a look, and Kolo and Angel were even more excited, and divided the quota in a few words, just like that, in tomorrow's game, Qin Jiajun will send two female generals to play!

Early the next morning, when Qin Yi and the others came to the town square, they found that it had been arranged.

In addition to the snow-covered slope, there is also a slope at the bottom of the slope, which is four meters wide and ten meters long, about 20 centimeters above the ground, and is sandwiched with wooden planks on both sides to prevent the slope from being deformed during the race.

Whether it is a slope or a slope, it is made of a lot of snow grinding, like crushed ice chips pressed together, the surface is hard and smooth, perfect for sliding, and will not sink into it like fluffy snow!

Hundreds of people soon gathered in the small square, most of them were similar to Qin Yi's family, all the old and the young were dispatched, and they simply regarded this temporary play as a festival, saying that it was snowing, and it was really boring to stay at home, so it was normal to come out and join in the fun.

After Marcus shouted a few words through the electric horn, the game quickly began.

The first group of families who volunteered to play were Teacher Lina and her sister Marlene!

Lina has been a teacher for most of the children in the town, so she is very popular, and her sisters' appearance immediately attracted a lot of cheers, especially some single young men, whistling and applauding, in a vain attempt to attract the idea of other sisters, obviously with the idea of a lifelong event!

It's a pity that the Lena sisters are only focused on the game.

The huge round skateboard is like a frying pan, and Linna in the bull-headed hat is a little nervous in her smile, her face is flushed, and sitting in it is like a delicacy in cooking, which makes people drool!

The two-meter slope is still a little exciting, the girl closed her eyes and didn't dare to look, screamed, and was pushed down by her sister Marlene, and Marlene's little feet in boots jumped, and suddenly pounced on Linna, the two sisters hugged each other, but they didn't fall off the skateboard!

"Ahh

Quickly sliding down, Lina shrank her head in fright, Marlene sat up excitedly, the two sisters laughed and screamed, and quickly rushed to the bottom of the slope, and finally stopped about two meters from the finish line.

Mayor Marcus also decided to take the lead, so he led his grandson to the game.

The seven or eight-year-old little guy sat on the pan, Marcus pushed vigorously, and then strode over, but the speed under his feet was too fast, and the upper part could not keep up, so he lay on his back, fell flat on the slope with a bang, and continued to slide downward!

And the pan and his grandson were kicked out by him, and in the little guy's exciting wah-wow scream, he not only crossed the finish line at a very fast speed, but also slid directly out of the ten-meter-long snow track!

After a few days of leisurely days, Qin Yi was almost inert, but after receiving the news from Miles, he had to fly to Minnesota, and the Timberwolves had made some progress in the acquisition, but his boss Tyronn had to meet with him to finalize the final agreement. (To be continued.) )
