Chapter 461 A Game Without Losers
On the second day of Christmas, Marcos and Melina returned to their farm. Dad also went to work in the ranch with peace of mind every day. Ju An received a new task and observed the tree house every day. Check to see if the paint is dry. If it is dry, continue to apply another layer. The task left by Marcos is to apply at least three layers of paint. Juan watched it for a few days. The first paint has not dried yet. What kind of paint should I apply? ah.This job had to be hanged hard, it couldn't be that the wall didn't have a second coat of paint.

After coaxing her son and daughter to sleep, Ju An returned to her bedroom. After taking a shower, she stretched out on the bed. Dinah looked at Ju An and asked, "Don't forget the gravity car race the day after tomorrow. He is going to participate in the carriage race, and he wants to use the horses from our ranch to drive the carriage."

Ju An turned his head, and put his own head on his daughter-in-law's lap: "Then let the father-in-law come and choose, just don't choose Dou Cao! It's not like you don't know Dou Cao's temper, except you and me. manageable."Marcos is going to participate in the sports meeting in the town. It is said that the sports meeting is not a big scene, that is, the people in the town organize together to go to the lake next to the town that Ju An has been to, race sleds, or a few Let's play with the gravity car. This so-called gravity car is a shuttle-shaped car. It has no power and only four wheels. Try to reduce the friction of the car. At that time, there will be a one-meter-high slope. Children Sitting in the car and sliding down the slope, the finish line is 30 meters away, and the kid who arrives first is the champion.

It looks simple, but it actually requires children to work with their parents. How to reduce the resistance of a shuttle-shaped car and how to reduce the friction of the wheels? Of course, the weight should be about the same. Anyone who has studied physics knows that the greater the mass of the same height The higher the energy, the faster the potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy. Therefore, there are requirements for the age of the baby, from seven to ten years old. This year, Nini has just met the requirements. I’ve played this before, and it just so happened that Nini is old this year, and Marcos couldn’t help but grow grass in his heart. These days, Nini was picked up by this grandfather in the morning and brought back at night. The grandparent and grandson are cooperating to design a small car.

According to Dinah, the gravity car and the sled racing are family traditions. Small towns that follow traditions hold such traditional events once or several times a year. Everyone can sign up to participate, and the champion is a small trophy.

Dinah touched Ju An's hair: "My dad has worked hard this year, and he is going to win the gravity car championship in one go. When the time comes, everyone will go to watch the scene together, and you can't make excuses!".

"What excuse can I find, I didn't show up for any family event?" Ju An kicked off the slippers on her feet while talking, twisted her body and swam onto the bed.

"How's the recruitment of airplane pilots at home, I didn't hear you mention it." Dinah asked Ju An.

Ju An squinted his eyes and said: "I handed it over to the headhunting company. When I go to San Francisco in a few days, I will have an interview and ask them to select a few candidates first, and then we will pay for the return fee to attend Wu Ming's new residence. It’s time to decide on this matter, and then I will go to Gulfstream for training. That’s about it.”

Dinah gently touched Ju An's cheek and said to Ju An: "When I was a child, I dreamed that one day I could squat in a castle, and a prince would take me to the palace on a white horse, and I lived happily ever after."

Puchi!Ju An opened his eyes and said with a smile, "Why do I feel like Snow White?"

"Many girls have this dream when they were young." Dinah smiled and continued to Ju'an, "When I grew up, I didn't think so. There is a private jet! I never thought there would be so much money in the family."

Ju An looked at Dinah and asked, "I didn't think of that either."Ju An looked up at the ceiling and said quietly: "When I was young, my dream was to be a scientist."Ju An shrugged his shoulders: "Our children at that time had this wish, either to be in this family or that family. When I grew up and graduated, I wanted to have a house in Jiangnan City, and then marry a wife and have a family. The child is satisfied like this, who knew it would become like this all of a sudden!".

Dinah kissed Ju An on the forehead: "Fortunately, you were not taken away by other women!".

"Your husband was not wanted by anyone at that time, okay?" Ju An said to Dinah with a smile: "My ideal has almost been realized, forget about being a scientist, I am not this material. From now on, my ideal will only be left to be eaten. Dead, have time to realize your ideals."Ju An pulled Dinah's hand to her lips and kissed it, looked up at his wife, with black hair, blue eyes, and a delicate face as beautiful as when he first saw her, looking at the fire in her heart He came up, hugging his daughter-in-law was like exercising his muscles and bones, just about to start, the devil uttered a voice, and immediately suppressed the anger of the two of them, Ju An watched his daughter-in-law get out of bed and picked up her son to nurse, Shaking the demon king from time to time, while the demon king was sucking milk, he clenched his little hands tightly, shaking twice from time to time, and kicking his fat calf hard twice.

Since it's a family activity, of course the whole family is involved. As for Wu Song and Ju'an who are willing to watch as adults, others don't want to, so they have to put a few pseudo-humans at home to watch the house. The son, as well as the mother and father's family drove towards the meeting place agreed with the father-in-law.

From a long distance, I saw Marcos' iconic old-fashioned pickup truck. Now the old mother-in-law Melina is driving, and Marcos himself is driving a light sled. The horse is also selected from Ju'an Ranch. Seeing grandpa driving a sledge, Nini and Xiaochi were reluctant to squat in the warm car, and scrambled to get on the sleigh that was not covered by the wind.

Dinah put on the thick clothes and scarves of the two children and turned them into two little meat balls, and then allowed the two children to sit on the sleigh pulled by their grandfather in real life.

With his two grandchildren, Marcos flicked the whip with a crack in the air, and Quarter immediately ran.Ju An and Melina followed behind in two cars.

By the lake, there were already many cars and people, and they found a seat and stopped the car.

"Ann! Go and fetch the car from the carriage" Marcos said to Ju An.

Hearing what his father-in-law said, Ju An took two quick steps. When he got to the back of the old pickup, he saw a shuttle-shaped car, painted tender green, with a big number nine on both sides, um!This number is not bad. It is very auspicious for us Chinese. I picked up the car and found that the car is not heavy. It only weighs about [-] to [-] catties. Putting the car on the sled, a group of people followed Marcos towards the lake. Hearing the sound of the horse's hooves and the little white marks left behind, Ju An noticed that new horseshoes were installed on the horse's hooves, and then There was no sign of slippage on the ice either.

Looking up and looking around, the sledges on the ice are all people over the age of four or 50. Playing sledges on the ice is not something ordinary people can play. The speed must be controlled well. It was overturned, and it was not just the ice surface during the game, but snowflakes were sprinkled on the ice surface. It would be too dangerous to play on the ice surface.

Followed Marcos's sled to Nini's gravity car roll call stand. Ten minutes after the roll call, Nini's race began. Ju'an's family, old and young, were on the side of the track, cheering for the girl. The girl was wearing a protective helmet on her head and windshields on her eyes. She was squatting in the green car, waving at her family, looking like a celebrity, and Marcos was pulling the car behind, waiting with a smile on her face. The referee gave the order to let go.

The referee saw that the four little drivers were ready, and immediately shook the small brass bell in his hand, and the four gravity cars slid down the slide. Ju An's family immediately encouraged Nini loudly. Chi even jumped to encourage his sister, and even ran along the track for a while.

The old father-in-law's craftsmanship is really not good, and he also did a good job training Nini. The girl lowered her head when she got off the slide, and raised her head slightly to look at the track ahead to reduce air resistance. About ten meters down the slide, Yatou was already in the lead, and the advantage was maintained until the finish line. Immediately after the race, the prize was given out. Yatou and Marcos happily won a small trophy from the referee. Of course, Ju An also used it The camera captured the moment.

You can’t delay after the award is given out. The following group of children are still waiting to win the award. This gravity car trophy covers a wide range. It can be said that basically all participating children can get a small trophy. If this wave doesn’t work, then continue. Next wave, if you are interested, you can keep skating until you get a trophy from all the participating players. So every year, how many trophies are prepared for the number of children in the town who sign up. This competition There are no losers, there are champions.

The children's competition is fun, but the real thing is to watch the adults' sled race. After the whole family watched Nini's race, Marcos went to the sled site to sign up. It is still a group system, with a few people in a group, and the team's No.1, advanced to the next round.Marcos is assigned to Group G, and there are still several groups ahead.

A large family stood on the large sled track and watched the other teams race. The circle of the track was surrounded by three layers of pasture baled hay as a temporary protective railing.Whether it is the runner or the horse hitting the haystack is generally safe.

When the second group came out, Ju An couldn't move his eyes from one of the participating horses. The whole body was white and the shoulder height was estimated to exceed 1.9 meters. The rest of the horses were very short beside him. The obvious part, the limbs are very strong, what Ju An likes the most is the long hair on the feet, it is thick and thick like wearing a foot protector.The mane is white and long, and a tuft on the top of the head covers the horse's eyes. When the majesty blows, the mane, mane and tail hair of the horse float up, which is very charming.

Marcos also noticed the horses in the field and said: "How to use Shire horses to pull the sled, its speed is not fast, it looks so beautiful."
