Chapter 9: Horse Farm: I own a manor in Country Y that has more than ten thoroughbred horses...
Two-year-old Mingyi runs around on the lawn every day and has no idea what going to school is. However, Ming Siyuan starts thinking about buying a school.
The relationships at Shengming School were complicated, which was why Ming Siyuan was considering changing schools. You Shiliu naturally agreed with his proposal, and the old man had no objection and supported him to go ahead and do it, so the matter was settled. The acquisition would not be accomplished overnight, but he had to strive to complete it and reorganize it successfully before Mingyi started school at the age of three.
In the morning, when Mingyi was still asleep, Dingdingdangdang lay obediently beside her bedroom door, waiting for her to get up and play with them.
The three little trumpets were extremely jealous of this. Their younger sister spent more time with the Border Collie than they did. Every time they came home from school and wanted to play with their younger sister, she would say she was tired. So at breakfast that day, Ming Li looked at Ming Xinzhi, who was sitting in the front seat, and asked, "Grandpa, when can our younger sister go to school with us?"
"My sister is only two years old. She can't go to school with you until next year." It was You Shiliu who answered him.
Mingyi didn't look up the whole time. She just gracefully enjoyed the breakfast in front of her. After swallowing the last piece of food in her mouth, she took the tissue handed to her by He Kejia and wiped the corner of her lips. Then she looked at Mingli and asked, "Why should I go to school with you?"
"Because everyone has to go to school." Mingxian, who is two years older than her, explained seriously.
"I'm not going now." Mingyi snorted after saying that. Don't think she doesn't know what they are thinking.
"Okay, Mingyi won't go now." Ming Siyuan agreed with a smile.
"Dad is the best." Ming Yi said and blew a kiss to Ming Siyuan, which made Ming Siyuan more determined to acquire the company.
Ming Xinzhi also looked at Ming Yi with a smile on his face. When his gaze turned to Ming Li and the others, he became serious again: "Have you done what the teacher asked last time?" The three little loudspeakers suddenly stopped making any sound.
Mingyi helped He Kejia get down from her dining chair, and the Border Collie, who was originally at the door, ran over immediately after hearing the sound. Soon, the person and two dogs disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Sister, don't you like going to school?" Ming Yan asked.
"Do you like going to school?" Ming Yuxuan asked back.
After hearing their questions and answers, Mingli began to reflect on himself and felt that he seemed to have done something wrong.
When Ding Ding came over with the Frisbee in its mouth, looking for praise, Ming Yi reached out her little hand and touched its head, then smiled and said to it, "Great!" Soon, Dang Dang also came over with the Frisbee in its mouth, also looking for praise. Ming Yi rubbed its little head with equal care: "You are great."
With the praise, the two Border Collies picked up the Frisbee more vigorously. Mingyi looked at the back of the chair, then turned to look at He Kejia next to him: "I want to drink some water."
"Miss, wait a moment." He Kejia said as she pressed the intercom in her hand and asked her aunt to bring some water.
Two-year-old Mingyi didn't like using a sippy cup. Her crystal cup was placed on the tray her aunt brought. She sipped water from the cup in small sips. At this time, You Shiliu walked towards her with a smile and asked her opinion: "Mingyi, do you want to go to the horse farm with your mother this afternoon? It's a good opportunity to try out your riding clothes."
"Riding a horse?" Mingyi blinked.
"Yes, Mommy can take you with her." Two-year-old Mingyi already knows many kinds of animals.
"Okay." Mingyi nodded.
After lunch, You Shiliu took Mingyi to the horse farm, and of course He Kejia also went with them. The horse farm belonged to the Ji family, and it was Mrs. Ji who invited them today. The two families were not very familiar with each other, but the middleman for this invitation was her cousin, so she could not refuse.
Looking at Mingyi who was sitting next to her, You Shiliu touched her head and said softly, "If Mingyi likes it, we can go to our horse ranch next time."
Mingyi was diagnosed with allergies before, so You Shiliu didn't take her to many occasions. Now that her allergies have improved, she can be taken to experience different occasions.
When they arrived at the horse farm, Mrs. Ji quickly came over. She was obviously surprised to see Ming Yi beside You Shiliu, and then asked with a smile, "Is this Ming Yi?"
Everyone in the circle knew how much the Ming family loved Ming Yi. In the past two years, the couple had hardly ever brought Ming Yi to any public place. She didn't expect that You Shiliu would bring Ming Yi with her today.
"Yes, I thought she would be fine at home, so I brought her along. Mrs. Ji won't mind, right?" You Shiliu said the last sentence in a teasing tone.
"Why should I mind? I'm so happy. Shuxuan happens to be here today, so it's a good opportunity for her to get to know Mingyi." The Shuxuan that Mrs. Ji was referring to was her youngest daughter, who was four years old this year and two years older than Mingyi.
"Mingyi, this is Mrs. Ji, call her Auntie." You Shiliu lowered her head and introduced Mingyi.
"Hello, Auntie." The two-year-old's voice still had a babyish twang, but Mrs. Ji could sense a sense of distance in it. She smiled and nodded. "Hello, can you let Sister Shuxuan play with you later? If Mingyi doesn't have riding clothes, there are children's clothes prepared at the stables."
"No need, we brought it." You Shiliu smiled and shook her head. Thanks to her for liking mother-daughter outfits, she would give Mingyi an extra set every time she made clothes, even if she didn't wear them.
While You Shiliu and her daughter were changing clothes, Mrs. Ji quickly sent for her little daughter. Ji Shuxuan was bonding with her pony, and the four-year-old clearly couldn't control her emotions: "Mom, I want to play with Yanzhi."
The Rouge that Ji Shuxuan mentioned is her red pony, which was named Rouge because of its color.
"A younger sister is coming today. You should play with her later, okay?" Mrs. Ji reminded.
Although they belonged to the same circle, there were still classes within the circle. The Ji family and the You family could barely be considered the same class, but the Ming family had always been at the top of the circle. The fact that they were able to invite You Shiliu over was also due to the relationship between the Ji and You families. Thinking that You Shiliu had come to Mingyi specially today, Mrs. Ji couldn't help but wonder if this was the opportunity You Shiliu had given them?
"I understand." Ji Shuxuan's tone was a little impatient. She was still thinking about her pony. It was a rare opportunity for her to come here, but she was not allowed to play with the pony.
You Shiliu and Mingyi stood in front of the mirror. Mingyi looked even more handsome and cool in his riding clothes. You Shiliu couldn't help but take out her phone to record it: "Mingyi, do you like this outfit?"
Mingyi nodded without saying anything. She looked at herself in the mirror and felt that she looked very neat. She was satisfied with it.
"I'm glad you like it. Let's go out then. Mommy'll take you for a run later." You Shiliu said this before she remembered that Ming Yi had never been to the Ming family's horse farm. So she touched her little face and said, "Let's go to the horse farm during our parent-child time this week and pick out a pony for you, okay?"
"Okay." Mingyi felt that she was not opposed to Xiao Ma, just like she was not opposed to Ding Ding Dang Dang before.
When the mother and daughter came out of the locker room, Mrs. Ji and Ji Shuxuan were already waiting outside, and He Kejia was waiting at the door.
"Shi Liu, you look so heroic like this, and Ming Yi is so adorable." The jade-like little person put on a riding outfit, and her temperament became a little more sharp. She was worthy of being a member of the Ming family. As she spoke, she gently pulled her daughter's hand.
Ji Shuxuan understood and took a step forward towards Mingyi. "Sister Mingyi, my name is Ji Shuxuan. Let me take you to see my pony. It's called Yanzhi and it's so beautiful."
The Ji family wanted to cooperate with the Ming family on a project, but it was always difficult to get an appointment with Ming Siyuan, so they started to go the route of Madam Social.
You Shiliu naturally knew their purpose. She came today to give her cousin a favor and to inform Mrs. Ji of her attitude. She brought Mingyi here without giving it a second thought, just like she would always ask Mingyi if she wanted to go with her every time she went out. The difference was that Mingyi was willing to come with her today. But now it seemed that Mrs. Ji had misunderstood. She didn't rush Mingyi, she was waiting for her to make a decision. After two seconds, the little person finally said, "Okay."
Mrs. Ji was delighted. Regardless of whether today's plan would succeed, if Shuxuan could successfully become friends with Mingyi, it would also be a success. She smiled and said, "Shiliu, the kids can play by their own, how about we go for a run?"
"Mingyi, are you okay on your own?" You Shiliu said as she glanced at He Kejia who was not far away. She had been with Mingyi for almost a year and she was very confident in her.
"Sure." Mingyi just nodded, and Ji Shuxuan reached out and grabbed Mingyi's hand: "Sister, I'll take you to see Yanzhi."
Mingyi didn't like being touched by others, so she quickly pulled her hand away. Then, facing Ji Shuxuan's puzzled gaze, she said, "Let's go."
Seeing this, You Shiliu had nothing to worry about, so she turned to look at Mrs. Ji and said, "Let's go, let's run a few laps." In fact, this was her first time running a horse since she gave birth to Mingyi.
He Kejia followed the two children. Mingyi was always serious and stern. To He Kejia and the others, this was cute, but to someone unfamiliar with her, Ji Shuxuan, they couldn't help but speculate that this was because she didn't like her. Ji Shuxuan was also the eldest daughter at home, not to mention that she was only four years old and didn't understand the ways of the world. So she looked at Mingyi with some anger: "Don't you like me and Yanzhi?"
"No." Mingyi shook her head subconsciously. She hadn't even seen Yanzhi yet, so how could she like or dislike her?
"Okay." Ji Shuxuan curled her lips. Forget it. She had to go and play with Yanzhi quickly.
After seeing Yanzhi, Mingyi roughly understood the origin of its name. Yanzhi was still a pony, and children also like to show off. Ji Shuxuan told Mingyi with some pride: "Yanzhi is a fourth birthday gift from my father. It is a purebred horse that was specially shipped back from abroad."
This was probably the first time someone showed off their wealth in front of Mingyi. Mingyi's tone was very calm, so calm that she didn't sound like a two-year-old child: "Oh, I have more than ten thoroughbred horses in the estate in Country Y under my name." This was what her great-grandfather told her.
Ji Shuxuan, who was originally somewhat happy, was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then burst into tears.
