Chapter 33 The life you yearn for
Wang Fan drove Barbie back to the Wild Bear Ranch. His mother, father, sisters, including Xiao Niuniu, were all waiting in front of the door, just wanting to see Wang Fan's girlfriend as soon as possible.
When we got off the bus, my mother, like a mother-in-law who was anxious to pick up her daughter-in-law at a wedding, walked over first, holding Barbie's hand and looking back and forth, her eyes full of satisfaction.
Unexpectedly, Barbie said in somewhat broken Chinese, "Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Barbie." This really surprised Wang Fan. Barbie had never spoken Chinese before when they were dating.
"Okay, okay, come in quickly, Xiaofan, come here quickly, I don't have any eyesight at all, help Barbie get the things." The mother was a little excited. Although she is a blond and blue-eyed foreign daughter-in-law, the grandson born from this body must be strong. I couldn't be more satisfied. Seeing Barbie still holding the fruit basket, I praised her in my heart for her ability to do things, and scolded Wang Fan for not knowing how to care for others, how could he make his wife tired!
Wang Fan was a little dumbfounded. How tired could a fruit basket be? Looking at his mother's unscrupulous eyes, he must have been thinking in the wrong place. Hey, he hasn't even written his horoscope yet! Look how happy my mother is.
After welcoming people into the house, my mother got busy preparing coffee and snacks. Fortunately, my sister accompanied Barbie to talk. One of them was not familiar with Chinese and the other was not familiar with English. After stumbling, they actually got chatting. In the end, The embarrassing thing is that Wang Fan and his father don't know what to talk about and still have to sit with them.
Mom brought up the coffee she had learned from Old Mike. Barbie took a sip and put it on the coffee table. She tried her best to pretend that she drank it well, but Wang Fan could see that her temples were all wet. I was sweating, maybe I had been offended a lot, but I could smell the bitterness of that cup of coffee without drinking it.
Wang Fan hurriedly came to Barbie's rescue and said, "Mom, stop talking. Barbie wants to teach me how to ride a horse! You can prepare lunch first. If you have anything to say, let's talk today. Barbie will come over when she has time."
Mom smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, you go and play. I'll call you for dinner later. Does Barbie have any taboos?"
"Moyou Moyou" Barbie immediately waved her hand and answered, but unfortunately her pronunciation was hard to compliment.
After leaving the house and walking to the stables, Barbie breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Wang Fan who was still snickering, she said angrily, "It's all you. You didn't tell me that auntie was so enthusiastic, which made me a little overwhelmed."
Wang Fan smiled and said, "My mother really likes you and has identified you as her daughter-in-law. It seems that you can't run away."
"Who said I'm going to marry you? Don't think that I'm yours now. It's too early to tell you." After saying that, he ran towards the stable, with Wang Fan chasing after him, and behind him, the old man who also wanted to ride a horse. Dad, looking at these two children, decisively chose to go back to the house to help cook.
Barbie taught Wang Fan how to ride a horse very seriously. She started teaching by approaching the horse. Some people like to approach the horse from behind when riding. This is actually a very fatal mistake. Never approach a horse quietly. Their powerful hind hooves are not just for show. , but a powerful weapon. Even a wolf would be kicked to pieces, let alone a human being! To truly approach a horse, you need to let it see you first and get closer to it step by step. This depends on the character of the horse. If a docile horse sends a kind signal to it, most likely it will not. Refuse to be close to you.
Black Star was already familiar with Wang Fan, and was quite obedient, but he was used to being carefree. He was still a little uncomfortable when he put on the saddle, and his body twisted around. Wang Fan patted it on the body, and then it became honest.
Just as Wang Fan was about to get on the horse, he was stopped by Barbie and said loudly, "Nonono, when you get on the horse, don't put your whole foot in the stirrup, only one third at most, so that you can dismount in time if necessary, otherwise If the horse is startled, it will drag you out.”
Wang Fan smiled awkwardly and got on the horse as Barbie said. No wonder so many people like to ride horses. Sitting on horseback is really different. The line of sight becomes higher, you can see farther scenery, and you can feel the sensation underneath you. The heart-beating mount seems to be integrated into one body at this moment.
Barbie could tell that Wang Fan was a little excited and nervous. She pulled Black Star's reins from the side, looked at Wang Fan who was riding the horse and said, "Don't be nervous, let him understand what you mean. The more nervous you are, the horse will also be affected. Relax Black Star is very good, trust it completely and treat it as your best friend."
After hearing Barbie's words, Wang Fan began to relax his body and his tense muscles. He slowly took the reins and directed Black Star to circle the fence.
Black Star was very obedient. I don't know if it was the carrots in the morning or the intimidation of the aura on his body that made Wang Fan feel that riding a horse was not a difficult task. He rode better and better and enjoyed Barbie's praise.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Within an hour, Wang Fan felt some pain in his thighs. He sat on the horse and asked Barbie, "Barbie, my thighs hurt. What's going on? Did you buy the leather chaps?"
Barbie smiled and said, "Novices are like this. There is something wrong with your sitting posture, and you have to work hard to get used to it. Don't clamp the saddle hard, relax your legs, open your thighs as much as possible, and clamp the horse's belly with your calves. That's right."
Under Barbie's command, Wang Fan's legs formed an O-shape. He couldn't help but curse in his heart. No wonder many horse riders have bow-legged legs! That’s how it was formed.
Wang Fan and Barbie practiced horse riding until noon, and their mother started to eat. Then they ended the practice. As soon as the horse was mounted, Wang Fan's legs became weak. He walked out of the wood with his legs in a circle in a very awkward posture. fence.
"Hahaha, it hurts! Come after me again!" Barbie patted Wang Fan on the body, and ran away with a smile. Wang Fan gritted his teeth in hatred, and when he had the opportunity, he must let her know that the king's laws at home .
Hiss, there must have been blisters on the thighs. The slightest touch would cause burning pain. I could only watch Barbie laughing arrogantly in front of me. I wanted to catch up but couldn't catch up. I was too nervous and not strong enough!
By the time Wang Fan limped back to the house, everyone was already seated at the table. Unexpectedly, Old Mike was also invited and was looking at the dishes on the table in amazement.
Mom said there was a whole table of dishes, but in fact they were all made by dad. The most popular dishes include squirrel mandarin fish, pot-wrapped pork, soft-fried tenderloin, and sliced pork. If you want to be the chef, dad has to be the one to cook it. Don’t look at the usual dishes. I don’t do it, but my father always shows off his skills during the family holidays, so my mother can only help out. In addition to these meat dishes, there are also cold dishes, tofu mixed with green onions, colorful noodles, and if there is no cold skin, I can only use egg rolls instead. There are Western-style grilled beef ribs, and it looks like old Mike’s craftsmanship. The big bones are still on it! The staple food is dumplings. This feast is neither Chinese nor foreign, and can be considered a fusion of Chinese and Western cuisine.
Barbie eats delicious food and welcomes all comers. She has eaten everything her mother has given her. She has a special liking for pot-stuffed meat. The sweet and sour meat suits her taste very well. As for the similar squirrel mandarin fish, it is It is rarely touched. Only Wang Fan knows that when eating fish, Westerners tend to choose fish with easy bones and large and thick meat. They rarely eat fish with many bones because they find it troublesome. Otherwise, how could Asian carp be overrun in the United States? , if it were eaten in China, it would be eaten out long ago.
A sumptuous lunch was enjoyed by both the host and the guest. Even Niu Niu’s little friend Potato had a large piece of fish tail mixed in, and his face was covered with sauce. He kept shouting that it was delicious. Look at Dad. Her eyes softened and seemed to be a bit flattering. In Wang Fan's eyes, this scene defined her more and more as a pet.
In the next few days, Barbie came to teach Wang Fan how to ride horses every day. Her mother seemed to be convinced of her daughter-in-law's status and came over to learn in her spare time. Only her sister, who seemed a little afraid of big animals, did not follow suit. Niuniu was there. Under the barrage of gifts from Barbie, she has become a little follower, holding a potato and following behind Barbie, not to mention that she can learn English faster than her sister.
Looking at the family talking and laughing, Wang Fan felt that this was the life he longed for. If no one disturbed him, he would be willing to indulge in it.
