paddock

Spring is cold and cold, and it is the season when everything happens.Zhang Xiuyan's birthday was on March [-]rd, which happened to coincide with the opening of the International Trade Fair, so Yuan Ning worked overtime with him to celebrate.

Yuan Ning was arrested again, the volunteers responsible for organizing this exchange meeting.At the same time, he will also be in charge of one of the booths, displaying Huaguo's laser phototypesetting technology.There was no way, he was stuffed in by Mr. Gan during the winter vacation to be in charge of the typesetting of "Ceramic Art". As a result, everyone in the project team was obsessed with technology and didn't want to show their faces, so they had to let him show the project results.

This is actually not the first book typesetting using laser phototypesetting technology, but "ceramic" has a very special status in Huaguo, so it is very suitable to exhibit it at this exchange meeting.Yuan Ning connected the computer to the projector to show the results of the project to the participants who were interested in this technology.

A winter vacation study gave Yuan Ning a general understanding of this strange and miraculous machine, and he admired Chairman Zhang who proposed that computers might be popularized on a large scale many years ago.Computers are very convenient, whether it is big data calculation or large amount of text processing, and the "Internet" has also emerged on the fourth brother's side. If it can be applied on a large scale, it may really be possible to know the world without leaving home!

Yuan Ning calmly dealt with the people gathered in front of the booth. The heads of some newspapers and publishing houses smelled the breakthrough of this technology, and filled in the names of themselves or their units on the cooperation intention form on the spot.There are also some laymen who don't know much about it, but they are attracted by Yuan Ning.

Unfamiliar technology and unfamiliar machines, the immature young man on the stage operates smoothly, and can even communicate with foreign friends fluently in foreign languages.

Are the children of today already so amazing?

Reporter Zhao saw Yuan Ning's booth from a distance, picked up his camera and took two photos of Yuan Ning, and turned around, and met several colleagues with cameras.Seeing Reporter Zhao looking over, the other party greeted Reporter Zhao with a smile.While exchanging pleasantries, the others suddenly fell silent.

Reporter Zhao followed their gazes and saw a familiar figure leading the foreign guests over. Who else could it be if it wasn't Zhang Xiuyan?Of course, it was not Zhang Xiuyan who shocked the others, but the foreign guests he had brought over—one or two of them were important business and political officials, the kind you could see in the news!

Everyone outside the security line took pictures of the group in an orderly manner.Reporter Zhao also took a few photos, and felt that Zhang Xiuyan was no less impressive even when he was walking with these great people. His straight figure, his vigorous footsteps, and his calm, neither humble nor overbearing demeanor His demeanor made people unable to bear to stop their eyes on him.

Reporter Zhao heard that many people have already started to discuss who Zhang Xiuyan is.

Zhang Xiuyan didn't care about the gazes around him. He was in charge of the domestic exhibition area, so he naturally led the foreign guests over.He had already walked around the people and saw Yuan Ning from a distance. Zhang Xiuyan didn't intend to avoid it, so he led the people towards Yuan Ning's booth.Yuan Ning did not leave the booth, and greeted Zhang Xiuyan with a smile on his face: "Minister Zhang."

Zhang Xiuyan asked Yuan Ning to explain the project technology to foreign guests.Some of this group of business and political officials are from Asia, and their culture and writing are of the same origin as Huaguo. If this technology is to be exported to the outside world in the future, it will be for these countries.Zhang Xiuyan knew that the project team had great ambitions, and the goal was to occupy the entire Chinese-speaking market.

Yuan Ning could see the weight of the group of people brought by Zhang Xiuyan himself, but he had already explained to others in turn for most of the day, and there was no reason for stage fright.He politely used "Ceramic Art" as an example to demonstrate the technology combined with the wonderful ceramic culture.

Even though the foreign guests are all high-ranking and well-informed people, watching the exciting content on the projector and listening to Yuan Ning's flexible explanation, they all feel that they are enjoying a visual and auditory feast.Some entourages engaged in the cultural industry noticed the importance of this technology and decided to stay to see if it could be introduced.

When Yuan Ning's explanation was coming to an end, Yuan Ning had an extra glass of warm water at hand.Out of the corner of Yuan Ning's eyes, he saw Zhang Xiuyan standing upright, smiled quietly at Zhang Xiuyan, took the warm water and held it in his hand, drew a perfect end to the explanation, and then watched Zhang Xiuyan lead the foreign guests in the other direction.

Outside the security line, two young people who were attracted by the propaganda were staying not far away, and they seemed to be about 22 or [-] years old.The girl had a clear face, bright and lively eyes, she curiously approached the young man beside her and asked, "Weiwei, what are you taking pictures of?"

"The person who led the foreign guests just now," the young man's face became hot because of the girl's approaching. Even though he had confirmed the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, he was still a little shy.The young man said, "He knew the kid at the booth, and just now he poured a glass of water while the kid was explaining."

The girl looked over to the booth and found that the boy in the booth was indeed holding a glass of water. She was a little surprised: "Really!"

The young man said: "I saw them at Jingyang Lake last time. They should have been preparing for this exchange meeting at that time, and they were riding bicycles to observe the venue nearby."

The girl looked left and right, and the more she looked, the more familiar she looked.After observing carefully for a while, she finally determined that the familiarity was not an illusion.The girl said: "I saw this child when I went to pay my grandpa New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year! At that time, the child was talking to the grandma. The grandma seemed to like him very much, and I don't know whose child it is!"

Knowing that his girlfriend's family is not easy, the young man hesitated, and looked at the boy on the booth: "This kid looks very powerful." Because he is more introverted, he is very envious of this kind of cheerful and outgoing person who can calmly face no matter how big the situation is. coping people.

Seeing that there were fewer people in Yuan Ning's booth, the girl dragged the young man over to talk to Yuan Ning.

Yuan Ning froze for a moment, his good memory quickly reminded him of the identity of the girl in front of him.This girl is also a child of the Han family, her name is Han Yingying, but she is the precious granddaughter of Second Lord Han. She was spoiled and grew up, but she was not spoiled. She has a very good temperament. Yuan Ning has a good impression of her.Yuan Ning greeted Han Yingying with a smile: "Hello, Miss Yingying."

Han Yingying didn't expect Yuan Ning to still remember herself, and obediently called herself "Sister Yingying", and suddenly felt that she had a very good younger brother.She warmly invited: "Are you almost done with your work here? How about we treat you to dinner."

Yuan Ning blinked and looked at the young man beside him: "Won't it bother you?"

Seeing the narrow smile in Yuan Ning's eyes, Han Yingying liked him even more, she held the young man's hand and said, "Of course not! By the way, his surname is Yan, and his single name is Wei. I call him Weiwei, you You can call him Vivigo!"

Yuan Ning is as good as others: "Vivigo."

Zhang Xiuyan wanted to eat and drink with him at night, and Yuan Ning wanted to make do with it, but unexpectedly ran into Han Yingying.He did not refuse Han Yingying's invitation, and went to eat nearby with Han Yingying and the others.Han Yingying is lively and Yan Wei is restrained, their personalities complement each other very well.During the meal, Han Yingying asked Yuan Ning if she knew Zhang Xiuyan, Yuan Ning did not hide it, and said with a smile: "He is my elder brother."

Yan Wei wanted to say "but his surname is Zhang", but then he thought that there must be a story, and maybe it would touch Yuan Ning's heart, so he swallowed the words.

Yuan Ning has always been very sensitive, how could he fail to notice what Yan Wei was trying to say."I was adopted when I was a child, and I didn't change my surname," he said.

Yuan Ning was so frank, Han Yingying and Yan Wei didn't ask any more questions, and chatted about other topics.After the meal was over, Yuan Ning had to go back to sort out the materials for the day, and parted ways with Han Yingying early.

Yuan Ning returned home, thinking that Zhang Xiuyan must not eat much outside, so he went into the kitchen immediately after finishing his business, took out some fresh ingredients from Lingquan and prepared them in advance.In a few days it will be the startling sting, the weather has warmed up recently, occasionally there will be a few muffled thunder in the sky, and there are already small insects chirping in the plants on the small balcony.

Eating lotus seeds and white fungus is very good in this season, and then they have to keep busy and cook some lotus seed and white fungus soup to moisturize their throats.Yuan Ning and the lotus flowers begged for a green lotus pod, picked out the lotus seeds, and peeled off the shell, revealing white, fat, round and lovely lotus seeds.The white fungus is also growing very well, and when it is picked, it will be a cluster of snow-white snow-white. If you take a closer look, each piece is crystal clear and beautiful, like a white crystal that has been carefully carved.

Yuan Ning processed the lotus seeds and white fungus and put them down to stew the soup.

Next came some other ingredients, such as pork ribs, beef brisket, yam, tomato, carrot, etc. Some were grown by the ginseng babies, and some were the ones that Yuan Ning met on weekdays, and they were all stored at the spring.The spring is very strange. The things planted by the baby ginseng grow quickly, but the things stored in it rot very slowly, probably because it can be stored at low temperature and there is not much microbial contamination.

Zhang Xiuyan opened the door, and immediately smelled a scent wafting from the kitchen.Feeling warm in his heart, he changed his shoes and went into the house, and walked to the kitchen, only to see Yuan Ning busy inside, carefully handling every ingredient.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Yuan Ning turned to look at Zhang Xiuyan, and said, "I knew you would come back around this time, brother. You must not be full to accompany the foreign guests, right?"

Zhang Xiuyan nodded.On this occasion, they basically can't eat too much, and the better thing is that they don't have to drink with them.Seeing that there were only scents and no finished products in the kitchen, Zhang Xiuyan asked again: "You didn't eat?"

Yuan Ning said: "Meet a cousin of the Han family and her boyfriend, and ate with them."

Zhang Xiuyan felt relieved.

Yuan Ning said: "It's almost ready, wash your hands and help bring something out." He took out the steamed yam, peeled and cut into strips, "I'll make some Jinsha yam, you can take it to the opposite side later Let Grandma Qu and the others eat some while watching opera."

Zhang Xiuyan washed his hands according to his words, and saw Yuan Ning spread the cooked salted egg yolk evenly on the bottom of the pot, added seasonings, and then put in the fried yam sticks just now, and stir-fried evenly with the salted egg yolk.After a while, the white yam strips were evenly dyed golden. The egg yolk was of high quality, and when fried in hot oil, the texture was like fine sand. No wonder it was called Jinsha yam.

Yuan Ning asked Zhang Xiuyan to deliver snacks to the opposite side, while he put the other food on plates and set it up.When Zhang Xiuyan came back, he served Zhang Xiuyan a bowl of longevity noodles: "Happy birthday!"

Zhang Xiuyan's fatigue of the day was swept away, and he quickly ate up the longevity noodles made by Yuan Ning himself, and then tasted other foods with Yuan Ning.Yuan Ning has always only cooked home-cooked dishes, but the ingredients used are good, the cooking is also very delicate, and the taste is very good. Zhang Xiuyan's mouth has been spoiled by him, and he is not used to eating outside.

The two of them washed the dishes and tidied up the kitchen together, and before they knew it, it was time to go to bed.After Yuan Ning took a shower, she hid in Zhang Xiuyan's bed in her nightgown, and waited for Zhang Xiuyan to come out after taking a shower.

As soon as Zhang Xiuyan went to bed, Yuan Ning hugged him upright.The pajamas in spring are much thinner than those in winter, and when the two hug each other, they can clearly feel each other's violent heartbeat and hot skin.Zhang Xiuyan only felt a wave of enthusiasm rushing through his body.

Yuan Ning kissed Zhang Xiuyan's mouth.

Zhang Xiuyan's voice became hoarse: "Don't mess around!"

Yuan Ning whispered: "Don't mess around." His face was flushed, and his voice was a little nervous, "Brother, can I help you with my hands? After today, my brother will be 23 years old! You can get married!"

Zhang Xiuyan took a deep breath and wanted to carry Yuan Ning to the next room, but he couldn't push Yuan Ning away.He wanted to get closer to Yuan Ning—closer to him, and Yuan Ning was the same as him.

Seeing that Zhang Xiuyan didn't throw herself away, Yuan Ning immediately "helped" Zhang Xiuyan with his hands clumsily and jerkyly.It was still a bit chilly at night in early spring, but Yuan Ning's hands were warm. Even though Zhang Xiuyan tried his best to control himself, he still couldn't help but swell.It was the first time Yuan Ning had such an intimate contact with the "little big brother", her heart was beating so hard that she almost took her hand away.

Zhang Xiuyan: "..."

Yuan Ning knew that running away from battle was a very shameful and vile act. Seeing that Zhang Xiuyan's face was not very good, he kissed Zhang Xiuyan a little shyly: "Brother, I am not very good at it, I will try again!" Yuan Ning worked hard He wanted to make Zhang Xiuyan feel more comfortable, but his movements were still very clumsy, and he couldn't figure it out after a long time.Fortunately, even if he did nothing, it would be difficult for Zhang Xiuyan to restrain himself, and finally Zhang Xiuyan vented his anger smoothly after more than half an hour.

Zhang Xiuyan picked up the tired Yuan Ning and took a shower again.The two have already taken a step forward, and there is no reason to go back.Zhang Xiuyan hugged Yuan Ning from behind, helping him soothe his most exuberant desire at this age, and Yuan Ning's "practical demonstration" just now, Zhang Xiuyan obviously did better than Yuan Ning just now, kissing Yuan Ning Sensitive ears let Yuan Ning release.

Apart from wanting to hug Zhang Xiuyan in person, Yuan Ning is almost pure-hearted and ascetic, and is rarely blinded by lust.After being held in Zhang Xiuyan's arms for "mutual aid", he was a little weak and buried his head in Zhang Xiuyan's arms, unwilling to move.

Zhang Xiuyan carried Yuan Ning back to the bed, and let Yuan Ning lie in his arms like a little animal.

This little bastard is usually very provocative, but if he really let him get what he wants, he seems to be bullied miserably. I'm afraid he will have to continue to restrain himself in the future.

Zhang Xiuyan kissed Yuan Ning's forehead: "Good night." His lips moved slightly, "I like your birthday present very much."

Yuan Ning felt that his face was about to turn red.It was obviously a very simple thing, but he did it so badly!A harmonious sex life is one of the important foundations for maintaining a stable love and marriage!Yuan Ning whispered: "I will study hard!"

Zhang Xiuyan: "..."

Zhang Xiuyan said, "No need." He kissed Yuan Ning's reddened ear, "That's fine." He didn't want Yuan Ning to use himself to "practice and study" every day. For a normal man with sound body and mind It was a terrible torture.

Yuan Ning reached out to hug Zhang Xiuyan, buried his head in Zhang Xiuyan's chest, and fell asleep listening to Zhang Xiuyan's heartbeat.After a while, Yuan Ning entered the "dream".

There is no trace of black silk thread around the spring eye, and from time to time, white light spots fall around the spring eye, melting like snow on the sparkling water surface.

The little white tiger noticed Yuan Ning's arrival, and ran towards Yuan Ning with a whimper.Maybe it's because of the nourishment of the spring water, or maybe it's because the tiger grows fast, the little white tiger is already very tall, standing up to Yuan Ning's chest!

Yuan Ning watched the little white tiger grow up, and even though it had grown into a somewhat large and ferocious beast, Yuan Ning didn't think it was too scary.Yuan Ning stepped forward to hug the little white tiger and rubbed against it.

Xiao Hei was lying on the huge rock beside him, looking lazily at Yuan Ning and Xiao Baihu.The little white tiger rubbed against Yuan Ning for a while, then suddenly lay half down on the ground, motioning Yuan Ning to climb on his back.

Yuan Ning was stunned for a moment, weighed his own weight, then weighed the little white tiger's huge physique, relaxed his mind, and climbed up the little white tiger's furry back with hands and feet.

The little white tiger stretched its neck, meaning to let Yuan Ning hug it.

The ginseng babies ran out, and seeing Yuan Ning sitting on the little white tiger, they jumped up and down excitedly around the little white tiger: "Sit! Sit!"

The little white tiger let out a cry, and remained motionless in a half-prone position.The ginseng babies are small, they grabbed Yuan Ning's shoes and trouser legs and climbed up, and quickly ran to the back of the little white tiger, saying happily: "Come up! Come up!" They did not forget their favorite little friend , "Xiao Hei! Come up!"

The little white tiger looked up at Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei stood up, ignored the little white tiger, and ran forward.

The little white tiger followed behind Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei is small and nimble, and he can run a long distance in a short while.Xiaobaihu has long legs, and he chases after Xiaohei, and it doesn't feel difficult to carry Yuan Ning and the ginseng babies on his back.

The little white tiger ran so fast that Yuan Ning's eyes were dazzled, so he could only obediently hug the little white tiger's neck and not move.

When the little white tiger slowed down, Yuan Ning realized that the scenery in front of him was a little strange, surrounded by bare rocks, and it was only after walking a long way that he could see some soil formed by the weathering of rocks.where is this

Yuan Ning opened his eyes wide to see everything around him clearly, but found that the surrounding rocks suddenly disappeared, and his eyes were bright.The baby ginseng slithered, and slid down the smooth fur of the little white tiger. They stared dumbfounded at everything in front of them. After a long time, they excitedly shouted to Yuan Ning: "Tian! Tian!"

Yuan Ning looked in the direction pointed by the baby ginseng, only to find that they had reached a high place.Looking down from this place, you can see the house surrounded by fields, the "artificial river" flowing around the fields, and the lake inlaid in front of the house like a blue pearl.

That's right, the pond is so large that it can already be called a "lake".The crowns of the five fruit trees planted along the coast have long been shaded, forming a vast sea of ​​green. Looking from a height, the greenest and most vibrant is just such a piece of green!

Yuan Ning said: "This is the mountain!" Curiously, he climbed down the back of the little white tiger, turned around and touched the hard rock behind him.If Xiaohei and Xiaobaihu hadn't discovered that there was a way to go up in the rock, he would have thought that there was a fog all around him, but he didn't expect that this kind of cliff was hidden in the fog.Yuan Ning stood behind the baby ginseng and said, "The place below is where we usually stay."

The ginseng babies are still very excited: "Yes! Our place!"

Yuan Ning was staring at the beautiful countryside under the clouds and mist, and was a little absent-minded when he suddenly felt as if someone was standing beside him.

Yuan Ning was taken aback, and turned around to look, only to see that phantom that existed for a long time was almost materialized in the bright light!It was a man with a wide robe and wide sleeves, his hair was half-tied up with a jade crown, and a lock of black silk was hanging down gently, making his complexion more jade-like.The man didn't seem to notice Yuan Ning's gaze, he just looked down quietly.

After a long time, Yuan Ning saw a smile on the man's face.The man turned his head, with relief and relief in his eyes: "You have grown up."

Yuan Ning was stunned for a moment.He heard the voice of "Virtual Shadow"!

"Xu Ying" raised his hand and gently rubbed Yuan Ning's head.His movements were weak, like a warm wind blowing, if Yuan Ning hadn't stood face to face with him, he wouldn't have noticed.Yuan Ning chased, "Are you...?"

"Don't ask me who I am." The other party smiled, and met Yuan Ning's bright and clear eyes, "Lingquan was formed by the power of stars in the old days when wars were frequent and people were devastated. It is a pity that those who get it may have selfishness or fear, but those who know it will seek endlessly and leave no root, and eventually the spiritual spring will dry up. The same is true of the spiritual spring, and the same is true of everything. This spring has already dried up. You have to live In other words, it should belong to you, but you never have the heart to occupy it, so I can stay a little longer."

Perhaps because of living in Lingquan for a long time, the other party has learned a bit of vernacular and mixed in a bit of ancient Chinese. It sounds a bit weird, but it is clear and the meaning in the words is not difficult to understand.

Yuan Ning listened carefully, a little shocked.Is the Lingquan formed by drawing the power of the stars?Has anyone been able to do such a thing thousands of years ago?Thinking of the spot of light falling above the Lingquan, Yuan Ning knew that it might not be fully explained by science.According to Ivory's explanation, when people sincerely pray and do good things, Lingquan can gather the power of stars to live!

Just like the growth of all things on earth depends on the sun, the survival of Lingquan depends on a certain star or many stars hidden in the sky.

So if people's hearts are good, the spiritual spring will not be exhausted?

"Xu Ying" said: "Even if the spirit spring fails, it will eventually reappear." He looked at Yuan Ning with a smile, "I have nothing to worry about, and today is the time for me to leave. I hope you can keep your heart from now on, Don't be fooled by fame and fortune."

Yuan Ning said, "You—"

Before Yuan Ning finished speaking, the materialized figure of "Phantom" gradually faded away, and finally disappeared completely before Yuan Ning's eyes, as if it had never appeared before.Yuan Ning felt lost.

The ginseng babies hugged Yuan Ning's trouser legs and surrounded Yuan Ning's legs: "It's not sad!"

Yuan Ning came back to his senses and said to the little white tiger and the ginseng babies: "Let's go, let's go down!"

Yuan Ning and Baby Ginseng climbed onto the back of the little white tiger again.This time Yuan Ning did not close his eyes because the wind was too blowing.He carefully watched the little white tiger jump down the steep cliff, carry them on his back a few ups and downs, and return to the flat ground.After going to the top to see it, Yuan Ning knew that there were cliffs all around, and the land on the Lingquan side would no longer get bigger.The place where they are is like a narrow basin and a wide crater, surrounded by high rock walls, forming a warm and closed space.

Thinking of what "Virtual Shadow" said before it disappeared, Yuan Ning felt a little heavy. He signaled the little white tiger to send him back to the gate of the house, opened the door and walked in.After he opened the door and took a look inside, he froze. "Xu Ying" had already bid farewell to him, but there was still someone sitting at the chess table in the courtyard—the person he was most familiar with.

Yuan Ning ran over and hugged Zhang Xiuyan tightly: "Brother!"

Zhang Xiuyan knew that resting at Lingquan was very effective, and he could read a book here, so he just took a book and read it by the bright "sunlight" outside at the chess table.Seeing Yuan Ning throwing himself into a hug suddenly, Zhang Xiuyan immediately sensed that he was not in the right mood, raised his hand to rub Yuan Ning's head, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yuan Ning said: "That person disappeared, he just said goodbye to me!"

Zhang Xiuyan also knew about the existence of "Virtual Shadow", and even heard Yuan Ning talking to him more than once.Although the other party can't speak, Yuan Ning can understand what the other party wants to convey, and express his thoughts and opinions to the other party.In terms of chess skills, the opponent also gave Yuan Ning a lot of advice.

It can be said that for Yuan Ning, the "phantom" who can't speak and has no substance is the existence of both a teacher and a friend.

Zhang Xiuyan hugged Yuan Ning into his arms.

Yuan Ning rubbed against Zhang Xiuyan's arms, trying to wipe away the sad feeling.Zhang Xiuyan comforted Yuan Ning for a while, pulled Yuan Ning to read the book together, and turned Yuan Ning's attention to the book—it was an accident among accidents that the "phantom" could survive until now, even if it was a "phantom" She herself would not want Yuan Ning to feel bad for him!

Both Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan woke up very early the next day.With the spiritual spring around, they didn't look sleepy at all from last night's "indulgence".Run in the morning, eat breakfast, and go to work!

After the exchange meeting ended successfully, Yuan Ning could finally take a breath.Since entering school last year, he has been so busy that he doesn't even have time to catch his breath!Now that the work was done, Yuan Ning decided to fulfill his promise and take Ms. Li to the ranch in spring.

Mr. Han had already made an arrangement, and when Yuan Ning brought it up, he put it on the agenda.He is still in good health, and he is unwilling to retire so soon, so he is destined not to have a long vacation.In order to let Ms. Li have a good time, Mr. Han specially arranged a series of itineraries in Central China Province, so as not to delay work, but also to stay with Ms. Li for a few more days.

After all the arrangements were made, the group set off for the ranch.Compared with six or seven years ago, the road leading to the ranch has been straightened and neatly built.Many large and small farms and farmhouses have been set up around the ranch. This poor town and county has already completely turned around, and most of the people are so rich that people can't see it.There is no way, the environment here is too well protected, a whole continuous forest surrounds it like a green ribbon, even if viewed from satellites, it cannot conceal its beauty.

The soil is fertile and the crops are luxuriant. Cattle and sheep live loosely on the abundant grass, grazing in twos and threes. They are not afraid of people coming. Their calm and relaxed appearance makes people understand how comfortable they are living here.

There are more and more high-rise buildings in the city, and many people gradually feel that there is a "cage made of reinforced concrete".A large number of people who got rich first began to miss nature and a healthy and leisurely life.So while the rural people sharpened their heads and squeezed into the city, the city people began to sneak away to the countryside from time to time.The environment here is better, the air is better, and the food, vegetables and fruits are growing well. In addition, Yuan Ning once invited many classmates to play in the pasture. Many people thought of this place when they wanted to relax.

Prosperity and abundance around the ranch is also very normal.

And because the guests who come here love its comfortable and simple appearance, this area still retains the beautiful rural style.

As soon as the car drove into the village, Yuan Ning talked to Ms. Li about what she could see in front of her eyes: "It's past the spring plowing season, and the fields are full of short rice seedlings or wheat seedlings, which look like pinches from a distance. It’s a pinch of blue. There’s been plenty of sunshine recently, and there’s not much rain, so there won’t be waterlogging, and the seedlings won’t be dry. It looks like there will be a bumper harvest this year.”

Ms. Li felt the bright sun shining on her face, which made her feel very comfortable.She said: "It's really good, even the air is fresher than the capital." Although she couldn't see it, Ms. Li still tried her best to distinguish the light and shadow here, "Is the rice grain you sent last time produced here?"

"Yes, Uncle Cheng sent it to me from the ranch, and I brought some for you to try."

While talking with Ms. Li, Yuan Ning had arrived at the ranch before he knew it.Yuan Ning asked the driver to stop, helped Ms. Li get out of the car, and walked from the gate to the other side.Because the bungalow was built alone by the pond, Cheng Zhong was usually guarding it.When Yuan Ning's family came over, they preferred to live in the newly built house.

That row of buildings was built in recent years, and all the rooms have good lighting.The appearance of the building was conceived by Yuan Ning and designed by others. From a distance, it feels that the house is integrated with the surroundings, which is extremely pleasing to the eye.

Both Cheng Zhong and Luo Yuanliang knew that Yuan Ning would bring someone over today, and they had been waiting for it for a long time.As soon as Yuan Ning led Ms. Li and the others coming, Cheng Zhong stepped forward and said, "I have ordered people to kill the cattle and sheep, and the meat has been processed. You must be tired from the car ride all the way. Drink some soup first to relieve the pain." Relieve fatigue, you can eat beef and mutton later, there are stewed and stewed ones, all raised on pastures, it is guaranteed to be delicious!"

Luo Yuanliang is still not talkative, he is the same age as Zhang Xiuyan, but his appearance looks smaller, but his skin is tanned to a healthy wheat color by the sun in the pasture, and his body has also been exercised to be strong and healthy, which makes him His age was concealed, and no one in the pasture would not listen to him.

Yuan Ning stepped forward and gave Luo Yuanliang a hug: "Brother Luo, long time no see!"

Luo Yuanliang sent him rice and grain when he went back to the capital, but Yuan Ning happened to be away, so Zhang Xiuyan picked him up.Yuan Ning imagined the scene of Luo Yuanliang talking with Zhang Xiuyan, but he couldn't come up with more than three lines of dialogue!

Luo Yuanliang nodded, and gently hugged Yuan Ning back as a greeting.Seeing a lot of guests, he said to Yuan Ning, "I'm going to catch some fish and shrimp."

Luo Yuanliang didn't say much, but Mr. Han, who was standing beside Ms. Li, couldn't help but look at Luo Yuanliang more.This physique is really good!Mr. Han said: "Brother Luo, you can tell at a glance that you exercise regularly, which is much stronger than your small body."

Mr. Han was born in the army, and what he admired the most were people with a strong body and full of strength. Even Han Chuang was thrown into special training by him for a period of time.After Yuan Ning met the Han family, he felt that Yuan Ning was good in everything, but his body was a little weak.Although he grew a little taller after going to college, he still has a long way to go from the "tough" standard in the eyes of Mr. Han.

If it wasn't for Yuan Ning being so busy and doing serious things, Mr. Han would probably want to take Yuan Ning to practice hand in hand.

Yuan Ning didn't think there was anything wrong after hearing Mr. Han's evaluation, and nodded in agreement: "Brother Luo has been much better than me since he was a child!"

Mr. Han: "..."

Ms. Li laughed, and patted the back of Mr. Han's hand, telling him not to ask too much.

Mr. Han snorted, "You can just spoil him, one or two spoil him to the sky. A boy who can't even suffer a little, what a man!"

Yuan Ning pretended not to hear.

At this time, a woman walked by with a basket of eggs, and seeing Yuan Ning came back with guests, she warmly greeted: "Ning Ning is back! Today is the vernal equinox, do you want to come and play with us? Saying 'The vernal equinox is here, the eggs are beautiful', we all have to try 'vertical eggs', no matter men, women or children, if we can stand the eggs on the table, it will be smooth throughout the year!"

Ms. Li thought it was interesting and let Yuan Ning lead her there.Sure enough, many people gathered in front of the women's house, men and women, old and young. The sharp-eyed children saw Yuan Ning first, and they all ran over excitedly: "Brother Yuan Ning, you are back! The weather is good recently, It has cleared up early and the wind is not bad, can you draw a kite for us?"

Yuan Ning readily agreed.

The children all pulled Yuan Ning to "stand up".This custom is as simple as its name. It is to find a way to stand fresh eggs on the table. Both ends of the eggs are slippery. It is not easy to stand up, so most people fail.

Yuan Ning glanced at the eggs in the basket, picked up a few of them, weighed them, selected one, glanced around on the bare table, and put the eggs on it.While everyone was watching with bated breath, the red egg in white stood firmly on the table without even shaking it!

"Wow! Brother Yuan Ning is amazing!" "It really stood up, no one could stand up just now!"

Yuan Ning returned to Ms. Li with a smile, and boasted, "Grandma, do you think I'm very good?"

Ms. Li used her rich experience to expose Yuan Ning: "Did you pick eggs on purpose just now? You must have picked the bigger and heavier ones. Of course, such eggs are easy to stand up on the table."

The children suddenly realized: "So it is like this!" They gathered around the egg basket one after another, pushing each other to pick out the eggs with big heads and heavy heads.After a while, the eggs of several of the children stood firmly on the table!

"I really stood up!" The children expressed that they no longer worshiped Yuan Ning, but worshiped Ms. Li who knew better!

Yuan Ning also said: "I didn't expect grandma to know this!" He remembered that Ms. Li was from the city, and ordinary city people would not care about the changes in solar terms.

Ms. Li was slightly absent-minded, and after a while she said, "This is what your grandfather taught me."

Mr. Han did not follow, but walked around the ranch with Cheng Zhong.Seeing Ms. Li's expression, Yuan Ning didn't say anything more, and changed the topic.

At this time, the grandfather of the Fang family who went up the mountain to inspect the forest got the letter and came down from the mountain.
