Shang Muxiao and I seem to have a special relationship from the beginning, and we can meet wherever we go. First there were psychological support groups, and now there are horse riding fields.
"Why are you here?" If it wasn't for Yang Youling, I would have just turned around and left.
Shang Muxiao was riding on a high horse, and he said with a chuckle, "I've been riding here since I was a child. If you ask me, why are you here?"
When he said this, I recalled what Yang Youling said. Since Shang Yunrou was a frequent visitor to this horse farm and raised several horses here, it didn't seem surprising that Shang Muxiao would appear here. And... I didn't realize until now that this place is quite close to the merchant's villa.
"I accompany the children to equestrian lessons," I said.
"Is Yang Haiyang's daughter? I heard from my sister that she is teaching her to ride." He leaned down and said triumphantly, "My equestrian is also very good. How is it? Do you want me to teach her?"
"No, she has a teacher."
Shang Muxiao looked at me for a while, then straightened up and said, "Then you can do whatever you want." After saying that, he grabbed the horse's belly lightly and drove the horse away.
A few minutes later, Mr. Li appeared in front of me with Yang Youling who had changed clothes.
The little girl was already pink and cute. After changing her equestrian outfit, she showed a bit of air in her cuteness, and a bit of heroism in her tenderness. Anyone who looked at her would like to praise her for her beauty.
"Xiaojie, am I good-looking?" She also knew that she was good-looking, so she asked me deliberately, wanting to hear praise from others.
I have always spoiled her, and naturally I will not be stingy with my compliments to her: "It's good-looking, especially good-looking. Lingling looks good in anything she wears."
She giggled happily, gave me the rabbit doll, and let the little rabbit and I accompany her in class.
Teacher Li led Yang Youling to the other side of the fence. After a while, a male staff member brought a pony.
I don't know if this horse is still young or the breed is just like that. It looks a little short, and it is not taller than me. But for Yang Youling, it was very suitable.
With the help of Teacher Li, the little girl skillfully mounted the horse.
"Okay, let's start." Mr. Li buckled a long leash at the head of the horse, stood in the center of the fence, took himself as the center, and gave instructions to the pony.
The pony began to run slowly, its hooves stepping on the sand, making a dull tuk-tuk sound.
"Yes, pay attention to your posture, keep your balance, press, rise, press..."
Yang Youling's pony is also white, and it looks very similar to Shang Muxiao's horse. The way the two horses cross the obstacle is like being carved out of the same mold.
The little one looked at him, and his eyes unknowingly moved to the big side. The tall steed smoothly crossed the obstacles one after another and seemed to be one with the rider on its back.
Back and forth in this way, Shang Muxiao patted the horse's neck admiringly, and gradually leaned to the edge of the fence.
He got off the horse, loosened the hat rope, took off his hat, scratched the crushed hair, said something to the staff waiting by the fence, took two sips of mineral water from the other party's hand, and suddenly seemed He looked over here as if he had felt it.
I quickly retracted my gaze and continued to see Yang Youling as if nothing had happened.
Although he is only six years old and has not been exposed to equestrianism for a long time, Yang Youling has already learned quite well, and he may be able to catch up with Shang Muxiao in a few years.
"That horse is called Xue Mo, and my Xue Mo is a half-brother. Both horses are of Arabian blood and are worth more than two binoculars." Shang Muxiao came to me at some point, looking at Yang Youling said on the field.
Hearing him mention the binoculars, I felt a little uncomfortable, suspecting that he did it on purpose, reminding me that I still owe him 200,000 yuan.
There was the sound of a lighter igniting next to him, and after a while, the smell of smoke drifted away.
He started smoking again.
Yes, I stopped smoking before because I knew that I didn't like him smoking. In order to chase me, I had to change my preferences. Now they have broken up, and I don't need to create such a person. Of course, I want to smoke how I want to smoke.
"She doesn't look like Yang Haiyang at all." Shang Muxiao said, "She looks much better than Yang Haiyang."
Yang Youling looks more like her mother, but it doesn't necessarily look like Yang Haiyang at all. I look like her eyes.
"I heard that my nephew is like my uncle. I hope my sister and Yang Haiyang's children don't look like Yang Haiyang, just like me."
Hearing this, I finally couldn't help but look at him.
Holding the cigarette, he felt my gaze and looked over: "What? Don't you look good like me?"
Of course he's good-looking, but this is the first time I've heard such a rude request from my uncle.
I didn't answer, I just added: "Yang Haiyang will be your brother-in-law soon, you have to get along well with him."
In the past, I would have worried that he did not know how to act, hurt Shang Yunrou's heart, and made it difficult for Yang Haiyang to do things. Now, I only worry about Yang Haiyang. Shang Yunrou may feel annoyed, but she probably doesn't care about the petty troubles of Shang Muxiao. Unlike Yang Haiyang, it is hard for him not to care about these. He loves Shang Yunrou, and naturally hopes that his wife's family will accept him.
Shang Muxiao laughed and said: "Are you all afraid that I will make a big wedding? Don't worry, no, not now." He walked to the fence, put his elbows on the fence, and put his whole body on his head. , turned his back to me, and said, "Now I know, it's useless for me to object. If she likes it, she will do everything possible to be with that man. The more I object, the tighter they will stick."
This was actually what he said.
However, I was more convinced of one thing because of his words.
Just like buying pearls. There are thousands of pearls in a jar, each of which is similar, but you will always choose the one you like the most, hand it over to the store, set it on the ring, and let it accompany you for a lifetime.
There are thousands of ordinary men in this world, and Shang Yunrou would choose Yang Haiyang because he was her favorite.
"Congratulations on finally growing up." I sincerely and sincerely feel happy for Yang Haiyang.
While talking to me, Shang Muxiao was also observing Yang Youling on the field. Maybe he felt that the horse's speed was too fast. "
Hearing that, Teacher Li turned around and glanced over here, and said "ok" to him.
After Shang Muxiao's instructions, he stopped caring about them and turned around with the cigarette between his fingers.
"It's all well taught by the teacher." He stretched his arms naturally, resting on the guardrail, and the corners of his lips were slightly upturned, showing a subtle smile that was between sarcasm and sincerity.
"Hold on, hold on!"
At this moment, Teacher Li suddenly raised the volume, and Shang Muxiao and I both looked over at the same time. I saw that the little white horse raised its front hooves high for some reason, stopped in front of an obstacle, and refused to pass.
Yang Youling's small body fluctuated violently with the movements of the horses. Although she tried her best not to be thrown off, her stamina was limited in the end, and she quickly fell off the horse and fell to the sand.
"Whoo, whoo... "When I heard the girl wailing, my breath was about to freeze.
Teacher Li rushed over immediately, and I wanted to go too, but the fence was full of sand, and my wheelchair would sink.
Shang Muxiao frowned and crushed the cigarette butt. He pointed at me and said, "Don't move, I'll go take a look." As he spoke, he neatly climbed over the fence and trotted towards Yang Youling.
I waited anxiously where I was, and once again felt the pain of being unable to walk.
Fortunately, after Shang Muxiao passed by, Yang Youling's crying stopped very quickly, which gave me a little peace of mind.
After a while, Teacher Li stood up first, and then Shang Muxiao also stood up holding Yang Youling. Teacher Li led the horse to the stables, while Shang Muxiao came to me.
Yang Youling cried so hard that her face was covered in tears. The hat was held in Shang Muxiao's hand. The two braids, which were originally well-tied, didn't know whether they were pressed by the hat or dropped, and they looked very messy.
Because I cried too hard, my forehead and temples were sweating, and my hair was stuck in clumps.
"Xiaojie..." She didn't cry anymore, she just kept hiccupping. As soon as she saw me, she reached out for me to hug her, and looked like she was about to cry again.
I saw that her forehead seemed to be scratched a little, and I was very distressed. Just as I was about to reach out to pick it up, Shang Muxiao moved away.
"You have promised me not to cry just now. Are you going to go back on your word now? If you cry again, I won't take you to ride the big horse."
His threat was very effective, almost as soon as the words fell, Yang Youling's tears were taken back.
She sniffed, forced herself to smirk, and flattered: "Okay, I won't cry anymore, don't be angry."
Seeing that Yang Youling really stopped crying, Shang Muxiao gently put her on the ground.
The little girl rushed towards me, with a lingering look on her face: "Xiaojie, it's just scary, I fell off the horse and hit that obstacle. Look, it's all broken..." She pointed to me to see her 's forehead.
Fortunately nothing major.
I took out a small towel from my schoolbag, wiped her sweat and said, "The little white horse's temper is not very good today, let's not ride it."
"The pony is as unhappy as I am. Maybe it was because I played too late yesterday and didn't sleep well, or I didn't eat breakfast and I was hungry." Yang Youling didn't blame Xuebao for this failure, but gave it to him. for all sorts of strange reasons.
I originally wanted to tie her braids again, but I wasn't skilled enough, and it was weird how to tie her, which attracted Shang Muxiao's undisguised ridicule.
"Teacher, you are surprisingly clumsy sometimes." He snatched the rubber band from my hand, and quickly tied a braid for the little girl with an unbelievably smooth technique. All look better.
I was so shocked by his talent that I was speechless for a moment.
Yang Youling touched her hair and said what I wanted to say: "Wow, big brother, you are amazing, even better than my father! I have seen other children comb this braid, but my father has never been able to learn it, he is stupid. ."
"I used to braid my horse, and it has more hair than yours." After he tied the second one in the same way, he suddenly realized something was wrong and frowned, "Don't call me big brother."
"What's your name then?"
"Call uncle."
"Uncle?" She was puzzled and didn't understand why it was called that.
"This is your aunt Yunrou's younger brother, so you have to call him uncle." I held back a smile to explain her confusion, but at the same time I thought, "big brother" is actually a good name.
"Aunt Yunrou's younger brother?" The little girl turned to look at me, her eyes wide open.
I nodded: "Yes, my brother."
She suddenly realized: "Ah, no wonder he looks so good-looking..."
Everyone has a love for beauty, and it seems that even children are not exempt. However, I plan to find a time to talk to her, don't let down your guard just because the other party is good-looking, and the other party believes everything they say. Good-looking people can also be bad people.
While speaking, Teacher Li appeared again with a Band-Aid. After carefully pasting it for Yang Youling, Shang Muxiao led her to Xue Mo's direction.
"Mr. Shang Xiao hasn't been here for a long time." After the two walked away, Mr. Li sighed, "The merchant is a regular customer of our horse farm, and has fostered four or five purebred horses here. Mr. Shang Xiao used to like to come here. He rode here, but unfortunately one of his favorite horses died, and he never came back."
"Died from illness?"
"Well, I was very sick and couldn't be saved. It would have caused more pain. Mr. Shang asked us to euthanize us. But he seemed to have forgotten to tell Mr. Shang Xiao that he would get it from the boarding school in a few days. When the news came, it was too late. There was such a big fire, I almost thought he was going to tear down our racecourse."
After listening to it a lot, I am not surprised that Shang Lu would do such a thing, and there is even a sigh of "it really is him".
Where did he forget? He just doesn't care, because he doesn't care, so he doesn't care about it.
Shang Muxiao took Yang Youling to run around the fence for several laps. He didn't do dangerous hurdles, he just walked around the field, and when he was almost done, he returned the child.
I saw that it was almost noon, and I should find a place to eat, so I discussed with Yang Youling whether it was okay to leave.
"Xiaojie, can uncle come with us?" She looked reluctant. In a short time, she had already developed a deep relationship with Shang Muxiao.
This is very difficult for me.
Shang Muxiao glanced at the little girl who was holding his hand, then looked up at me again, and seemed to be embarrassed: "Actually, I had something to do this afternoon..." I was very happy, and he changed his words, "But forget it, Back it up."
He lowered his head and smiled lovingly at Yang Youling: "After all, I am also very reluctant to bear Lingling."
