Chapter 079 Little Pony
As soon as my parents arrived, An Feng’s good days came again. After thinking about it, I still felt that Chinese food was suitable for me. As a result, I swayed around like a ghost every day, and remembered to go home for dinner. My sister said that he had lost other memories, and the only thing I remembered was that three meals were on time and snacks were constant.
Choose a sunny afternoon, place a few cloths on the lawn, carry a basket and dish to have a picnic, listen to everyone’s chats and jokes...
"It's good for Americans to have a holiday, and I'll take it easy." An Feng lay on the grass, biting the grass roots in his mouth, looking at the two squirrels hovering on the lawn in front of him.
"It seems like you have a lot of things to talk about." My sister rolled her eyes to him. They have understood these days, and only half of An Feng's words were believed. He said he was busy, maybe he was really busy, because occasionally there would be a lot of things. I heard that he was still in Los Angeles in the morning and went to Texas in the afternoon; but it might also be boring. He was struggling with whether to get up to eat first or take a shower first... He hesitated for an hour.
"Mom, look!" The little girl pointed her finger in front, and two gray-yellow little squirrels walked towards them, perhaps because she smelled the food.
An Feng glanced at it and commented: "I don't store food well in winter, and I'm almost starving to death and I thought of coming out to find food. Xiaoyu, don't learn from them."
The little girl came over and shook his legs: "Uncle, can I go and feed them?"
The sister glanced at Xiaoyu and just wanted to say something, An Feng nodded: "Go, tear some bread crumbs for them, don't need too much."
"Is this okay?" My sister was a little worried.
An Feng smiled and said, "Not afraid, American small animals are not afraid of humans at all. It's okay to touch them unless you deliberately scare them. I heard that whenever there is a shortage of food, the squirrels will ask humans for help, and people are happy to help them. Some overly smart pine trees will run to your kitchen to steal things."
"Look, the little guy is here!" The brother-in-law who was lying down looked up. Xiaoyu successfully attracted the two little pine trees with a little bread crumbs.
These two little guys were really not afraid of people at all. They raised their big tails and looked up to sniff. Little black eyes stared at them expectantly, as if asking Xiaoyu to give them something to eat. This cuteness is not only for children, but even for adults to resist. Xiaoyu grabbed the biscuits in her hand and handed them.
The little squirrel stood up, caught the biscuits with both front paws, squinted in front of his mouth, biting them in small mouths, and accompanied by the crisp chewing sound, which made Xiaoyu happy for a while, and gave him a few more biscuits. As a result, the purpose of being cute was achieved, and he ran away with the biscuits and sat under the tree in the distance to enjoy it.
"Mom." Xiaoyu looked back at her mom pitifully, "They are gone."
But my mother didn't have the skill to get the little squirrel back. The most powerful uncle usually became her target: "Uncle, the little squirrel likes you so much, would you please let them come?"
An Feng was speechless, Little Squirrel likes me? Do you know what the ending of Little Squirrel's good friend Little Rabbit? He said helplessly: "Okay, I'll teach you a way."
Xiaoyu listened carefully.
"Look at its belly, it looks not full yet. Next time you come here, you can give them a little bit. There is no need for them to run back and forth and worry about grabbing food, do you know?"
The little girl understood a little, sat down and looked at the two ungrateful squirrels after eating the biscuits. As expected, they were not full, and ran over calmly and continued to use the cute trick just now. Xiaoyu was smart this time, crushing the biscuits and giving them only some, and then the little squirrel kept asking for food around her.
My sister quietly picked up the camera and took pictures of two greedy squirrels. You don’t understand the world of foodies. They thought the camera was delicious, so they leaned forward and seemed to want to take a bite. An Feng took an apple from the basket, wiped it on the clothes, took a bite, and spit out the peel for one of the squirrels.
It picked up the peel, and did not finish it all, but smacked its lips to eat juice, and then threw the peel in front of An Feng. This cleverness really made people grit their teeth - touch it. My sister took this scene and shared it with others with a smile: "Look at his hurt expression!"
Everyone laughed, An Feng ignored them, his phone vibrated a few times, and he picked it up and answered: "Hello, I'm Bruce."
After saying a few words, An Feng climbed up and said to the others: "You guys go ahead and I'll get something. It's Xiaoyu's New Year's gift!"
An Feng stepped on the motorcycle and went down the mountain. After more than ten minutes, he called his sister. An Feng said from the other end: "You can bring Xiaoyu down, here at the stable."
They packed their things with questions, and when they arrived, a pickup truck was dragging the cargo box away. Looking at An Feng again, there was a reduced horse in front of him, squatting on the ground and teasing it. When Xiaoyu saw it, she immediately broke away from her mother's hand and ran over excitedly: "So cute!"
My sister and brother-in-law were also surprised. Xiaoyu here had already touched the pony, and they also surrounded her and watched. Her brother-in-law said, "Is this a pony?"
"Australian mini horse." An Feng smiled and combed the mane of the mini horse. This guy was furry and had short legs. He was so honest and cute.
My dad riding a horse in the distance also came over and saw this mini horse that was a little stage frightened. He said in surprise: "I have heard of it many times at home, but I didn't expect that there is such a foal in reality, which is not much taller than a puppy. Alas, do you think you used a newborn pony to deceive people?"
An Feng smiled and said, "Dad, you have a lot of imagination."
They all looked around the mini horse, and they were talking in their mouths. Two black dogs wandering around in the distance also ran over. Pipi and Dandan were considered large dogs, 60 cm tall. They stood next to the mini horse. Their body looked similar, except for the little foal, who was a little fatter.
The adults were just so young, but Xiaoyu liked it very much. She touched Xiaoma and touched it. Xiaoma was not afraid of her. Maybe she felt that the threat of being about the same size was not high. Each person and one horse quickly became familiar with her.
"Uncle, can I ride it?" Xiaoyu asked while touching Xiaoma.
An Feng nodded: "Yes, there is a set of saddles for mini horses here. After I teach you how to use them, I will be able to ride on its back soon."
"Uncle, can I feed it carrots?" Xiaoyu asked again.
"Okay, let's feed it tomorrow. It's full today." An Feng said.
But my sister had some objections: "So spoiled children will make her develop bad habits."
My sister’s educational philosophy is good. An Feng smiled and scratched her head: “Anyway, I bought it, so I just treat it as a New Year’s gift. What’s wrong with making the child happy? At worst, this horse can be taken care of by the little girl, so that she can also know how to be responsible while being happy.”
"Well, just deal with it like this." My sister agreed.
After teaching Xiaoyu how to saddle the foal, she quickly rode on the little guy's back. Although the mini horse was small, it had enough endurance and could reach more than 30 kilometers per hour. To be cautious, An Feng asked her to wear a helmet when riding a horse, otherwise she would fall down suddenly and some would cry.
Xiaoyu was still not satisfied with playing, and the next day her sister woke her up early. The little girl was quite unhappy at first. An Feng said to her personally: "From now on, it is your mount. If you don't take care of it and don't give it a bath and eat, it will starve to death. Next time, don't think your uncle will buy it for you."
When the little girl heard how this was OK, she quickly got up, changed into a small denim suit, and followed An Feng to the stable with a small bucket and a shovel. Two guys, one big and one small, got busy. An Feng took care of Philip, while the little girl took care of her foal as if she was just taking care of her foal. It took an hour, her movements were clumsy and exhausted, but it was worth it, at least it made Xiaoyu understand that there was no only enjoyment and no effort.
"You will do this every other day from now on, do you understand?" An Feng squatted down and said to her, "Look, wash it clean, it likes you so much."
"Well. I will definitely do it." The little girl said as she touched the foal's fluff.
An Feng looked back at the guy watching outside and smiled proudly. He needed a flexible set of things to teach his children, not just tough indoctrination.
