Alpine pasture

Chapter 258 Flower skirt

There are three ponies in the family, now Dinah gets up early in the morning and starts brushing the pony with Nini, shoveling horse manure and so on, but Dinah is still very serious about how much poop the three ponies can poop in one night He taught Nini how to take care of the pony, and handed over the job of teaching Nini how to ride a horse to Ju An.

Since she wanted to teach Nini how to ride a horse, she planned to buy three sets of small saddles and small cushions. It just so happened that the two little guys, Ran Ran and Tong Tong, were coming over in a few days, saving a trip.

In the morning, waiting for everyone to take care of the work at hand. After breakfast, Dinah took a little rest. Dinah took Nini to play in the yard with Teddy and Wu Song for a while. The improvement is very fast. When I see Marcos, I know that I am called Grandpa Marcos. I am no longer as shy as when I first came here. Dinah said that Nini’s autism is almost cured. After Nini bought the pony, she followed the pony When she started talking, she had a smile on her face for the first time, and Dinah was so happy beside her, she immediately urged Ju An to go upstairs and take down the camera, so as to record this moment.

As for those who talk about autism, you curl your lips in your heart. There is autism, Americans have all kinds of problems, such as lactose intolerance, a lot of messes, diseases that Ju’an has never heard of in China I was stunned to meet a lot when I came to Laomei. According to Ju An, I didn’t smoke enough, and I ate too much good food.Nini is originally a little introverted, and she still talks about autism and weird diseases. She has been on the ranch for more than a month and has been fooling around with Teddy's gang. She has no diseases. Maybe she is a doctor who is idle and boring. Those who want to cheat money, or Nini has been here for less than a month, and there will be an outward-looking development trend, but now Nini is still a little afraid of staying safe.

Watching Dinah playing with Nini for more than half an hour, Ju An got up and urged the two mothers: "It's getting late, let's go quickly, go early and return early."

"Okay, Nini, Dad has urged us. Let's go in and wash our hands. Dad will take us to buy saddles, and Nini will be able to ride a horse in the future." Dinah took Nini's hand and walked into the house while laughing. Said.

Nini had a smile on her little face and nodded her head as she walked. Today, Nini is wearing suspender jeans, brown pony boots, a white long-sleeved shirt with small blue plaid, and a snow-white cap stuck on her head. Rolled calf hat.Since Nini came to the house, Dinah is like a real-life doll. She wears a set of clothes every day. It takes a long time to tie Nini’s hair in the morning. Nini’s hairstyle is different every day. , Ju'an didn't know why Dinah had so many tricks. It's been a month since she came to the ranch, and Nini didn't have the same hairstyle a few times.

I drove the car to the town, entered the harness shop, and the bearded shopkeeper greeted me. Ju An followed him with a smile and said, "This time we want to buy three small saddles, which are put on the back of a pony. , for the little ones to ride."After speaking, he pointed to Nini who was being held by Dinah.

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Ann, do you want a handmade or a mechanism".Ever since the naughty bag won the triple crown, everyone in the town greeted Juan with a smile. Now Juan and Dinah are celebrities in the town. If you know English, when you come to the town, you ask where the Xishuihe Ranch is Maybe some people don’t know, but if you ask where Ju’an’s ranch is, everyone will definitely tell you how to get there.

"It's handmade, it's for one boy and two girls, it's a bit more fancy," Ju An said to the shop owner with a smile.

After hearing Ju An's words, the shop owner took Ju An and Dana's family to a shelf at the back to look at the small saddles. On the shelf was a row of more than ten pairs of small saddles, all of which were carved with complicated patterns. , there are hardly any uncarved parts on the entire saddle. Good guy Juan looked at the price above, it is much more expensive than an adult saddle. It is estimated that more than half of the price is spent on engraving. Yes, this kid's money is really easy to make.

Dinah looked at the little saddle and said to Nini, "Nini, tell Mom and Dad which little saddle you like."After speaking, he picked up Nini, and the mother and daughter looked at the saddle one by one.

Ju An looked at Dinah touching the saddle with one hand and hugging Nini with the other, and at the same time told Nini which pair was good and what was wrong with that pair. According to this method, it would take an hour to choose a saddle, so she turned to Dinah. Na said: "She's still young, so it's good to know what to wear. You should help her choose, and then help Tongtong and Ranran choose two pairs."

Dinah shook her head and said: "Let her choose her own things, even if she doesn't choose well, then she knows why it is not good, and she will know when she buys next time. After we choose for her, she will I still have to choose by myself. When I was a child, my father bought things for us by myself. When I bought clothes for Nini, I also let Nini choose them. Isn’t it a good choice.”

As soon as Ju An heard Dinah's long speech, she waved her hands and said: "Okay, you two, mother and daughter, choose slowly, and don't forget to choose three pairs."

After finishing speaking, he went to the side to look at the leather chaps by himself. Last time Tongtong said that the chaps were damaged, this time everyone bought a pair, but seeing Dinah, the mother and daughter, they must buy one by themselves. So Ju An helped Tongtong and Ran Ran choose two. Ju An picked these things because he chose the fancy ones, and the ones with long spikes looked conspicuous. According to this condition, he picked them in a short time. Two, walking beside Dinah at this time, Nini has already picked out the small saddle, the small lake-blue saddle is carved with Chinese characters, and five lilies with entwined branches are also carved on the back cushion. The lake blue reins and reins made the whole saddle look very beautiful. Dinah also helped to choose two other pairs, one snow white and the other traditional brown, which are also covered with patterns. The vice is Ran Ran, a huge fire-breathing dragon is engraved on the side pad of the brown saddle, with a black dragon body and strong wings that are very powerful.

The matching two reins were also of the same color. Dinah also picked out three spare pairs of water reins and girths, and handed all of these into Ju An's hands. The two went to look at the chaps again. Ju An After loading the things into the car, Nini also picked out her own leather case library, but this time the brown one is not very fancy, Dinah asked why, Nini’s answer should be the same as that of her mother, it turned out to be according to Dinah’s The leather chaps were chosen, without any fancy decorations, just the usual ones. Dinah immediately beamed with joy when she heard this sentence.

After finally picking out all the things, Ju An took Dinah and Nini back to the pasture. After arriving at the pasture, he put everything away, and then Ju An’s task came, teaching Nini to ride a pony, It is said to teach horseback riding, but in fact, this so-called horse is not much bigger than a dog, and it can't even run as fast as a dog. In Ju An's eyes, putting a cattle dog on a ranch on a saddle can run faster than these small horses. Couldn't be more safe.

Dinah played with Nini on the stairs of the porch, and said to Ju An: "Go and put Nini's floral dress on."

"Flower skirt?" Ju An was taken aback, "What flower skirt?"

"It's Nini's little maroon pony." Dinah explained, "Nini named it after her favorite dress. No matter how you say it, she can be considered your daughter. This name is worthy." .

Ju An immediately retorted: "What's wrong with my name?".

Dinah smiled and said: "Bean grass, snowflakes, preserved eggs, tiger heads, and garlics are just names of other things on the horses and dogs, without any thought."

Uh, when Ju An thought it was really the case, he hurried to help Nini put on the flower skirt, and led the maroon stallion named Flower skirt, which was not as tall as Ju An's waist, and when he arrived at the house, Front.

Then she taught Nini how to get on the water and rein in, then how to put the pony saddle on the horse's back, then how to put on the girdle, and how to check at the end, one by one.

Dinah watched Ju An teaching Nini, and after watching for a while, she stood up from the steps, pushed Ju An aside, and said to Ju An: "You don't care about teaching, let me teach you." ".After speaking, he taught Nini himself.

Ju An was having a good time at leisure, took out his laptop, and started surfing the Internet to see if the design company had any new progress. When he got online, he happened to see the information sent by the designer, and the building area still had some initial plans. Ju An took a closer look at the previous proposals, but none of them satisfied Ju An. When I turned to the last one, it caught Ju An’s attention. It has a wooden structure, with huge glass embedded in the middle of the square wooden pillars. There is a platform supported by large wooden pillars behind the house. It seems that holding a barbecue party for more than a dozen people is not a problem.The entire platform is connected to the second-floor house, and the lake and mountains can be seen from the platform. Below the platform is a swimming pool, which is not square, but designed as an oval Tai Chi shape, with several floors of steps on one side. There are no steps on the other side. It should be a deep water area. The entire swimming pool extends into the lake for about half the distance. The outermost part of the pool extending into the lake is a curved five or six-story step, and then a small T-shaped dock.

The entire roof also takes into account the climate of Montana. It is designed to have six or seven small fireplace chimneys on the steep roof, and two circular circles are specially designed for Dajin and Xiaojin on the top of the concave building. The eagle's nest with a roof, the overall design has a strong rustic style, and a large area of ​​glass is used to increase the lighting of the house. It can be seen that if the weather is good, even if the lights are not turned on during the day, the whole house will be bright. of.

He said to Dinah who was teaching Nini how to ride a horse: "Dinah came over to see this design, what do you think?".

When Dinah heard Ju An's words, she took Nini from the saddle into her arms, walked back to the porch, stretched her head to look at the renderings in Ju An's notebook, Dinah looked at it and said, "I It looks very good, do you like this plan very much?"

Ju An turned over the previous proposals for Dinah to read again, and Dinah nodded after reading it and said, "Well, this one looks better."

Now that Dinah agreed, Ju An called the architectural firm and asked them to continue with this plan, retain the general design style, and emphasized that the entire building must be made of stone.
