That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1226 Do you think I'm really here for a trip?

When Li Ye and others arrived at LW Manor, the sun was about to set. The beautiful sunset hung in the sky, making the already beautiful manor look like a dream.

Xiao Baoer and Xiao Douer had never traveled far since they were born and had never seen the world, so they were naturally fascinated by the scenery before them.

"Dad, Dad, how long are we going to live here?"

"Stay for three to five days?"

"So is it three days, five days or seven days?"

"On average, five days?"

"Ah~, can't you stay a few more days?"

Xiaodou let out a long sigh of regret and pouted his lips unhappily.

Li Ye patted her little head and said softly: "You have to remember, Xiaodou'er, there is no place like home. You can stay for a few more days, but don't forget where your home is."

"Yeah, yeah, don't worry, Dad. I know my home is in China. Hehe, can we go horseback riding now?"

"Of course, you go find your mother first and let her help you put on the safety gear, then you can ride the horse."

"Okay~"

The unhappiness on Xiaodou'er's face disappeared immediately. He jumped and jumped excitedly to find Wen Leyu, pestering her to change his clothes and put on protective gear first. As for his brother Xiaobaoer, he asked him to step back a little.

Fu Guiru laughed and scolded, "Look, look, that girl got her way again, didn't she? She pestered Xiaoyu all the way, but Xiaoyu didn't agree to let her stay for a few more days, but you won her over with just two words."

"Hahahaha~"

Li Ye laughed out loud, not caring at all.

There's nothing to be embarrassed about being cheated by your own daughter. There's nothing wrong with a girl being cunning.

Because he knew in advance that the two little guys were going to ride horses, Li Ye had already made arrangements.

Uncle Ollie, the groom of the manor, selected the most docile horse and prepared a double saddle. When Li Ye and Xiao Dou'er got on the horses, he stood by and provided protection very professionally.

Li Ye put the small bag in front of him and thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Oli."

Uncle Oli smiled and said with envy: "Mr. Li, I really envy the affection between you flower growers. If possible, can you tell me the secret?"

Li Ye asked in surprise: "Secret? What secret?"

Uncle Ollie spread his hands and said helplessly: "Millie and Bruce haven't come back to see me for a year."

Li Ye also smiled helplessly.

Although he had not been to the manor in these years, Fu Guiru and Fu Yiru came often, so Li Ye knew that Uncle Oli's two children rarely came back after they grew up.

This is not because there is any conflict between the father and son, but because of Uncle Oli’s parenting style of “children and grandchildren have their own blessings”, which leads to the weak family affection between father and son.

First of all, not all families in the West will kick their children out of the house when they are eighteen years old and leave them to fend for themselves.

When Li Ye first came for an internship, he knew that many students at Stanford University were "spoiled" by their parents since childhood. Some parents even flew from far away to clean and tidy up their children's rooms.

The relationship between these children and their parents is not much different from that of a flower-growing family.

So even between father and son, they need to give to each other.

Many Westerners are in their fifties and sixties, and have little money in their pockets, but they still overdraw their credit cards and travel regularly. Their main idea is that I spend the money I earn myself, and I will have nothing left once I close my eyes.

So what do you let your children do?
He will definitely follow suit and take care of himself! Do you still expect them to be as close as the father and son of the flower-growing family?
So Li Ye could only give Uncle Oli a barely feasible suggestion: "Mr. Oli, if I were you, I would take some time to visit them and bring some small gifts for your grandson."

"."

Uncle Oli was stunned for a long time, as if he had figured something out, and said to Li Ye with a smile: "You are right, Mr. Li, I can go to see them. I have to thank you for allowing me to save some money in the past few years."

"."

Li Ye was stunned.

Because he seemed to understand a truth. Uncle Oli chose to let his children run wild because he was too busy with work and because he did not earn enough money to spend.

If a grown man has enough money and plenty of time, who wouldn't be willing to give a little more love and care to his children?

Uncle Oli must be excellent at his work. Li Ye has a good impression of Uncle Oli in this regard.

After he bought the manor, he did not keep an eye on the manor every day like the previous owner did. However, Oli did not slack off at work just because the owner was not at home. Whether it was the vineyard, the hills or the lawn, he took good care of them.

When Li Ye came over the day before yesterday, Oli showed Li Ye all the accounts and work details. Even the luxury cars that Li Ye drove only a few times a year had detailed maintenance and mileage records.

To be honest, if this situation happened in mainland China, it would be rare if Oli didn't drive his luxury car out every day to show off.

But apart from normal maintenance, Li Ye's cars were also touched when Fu Yiru and Fu Guiru came over, and they didn't run even one kilometer more.

"Dad, Dad, please let the horse run faster! Look, mom and grandma are running far away~~"

Li Ye was arguing with Uncle Oli, but Xiaodouer, who was sitting in his arms, was anxious because his mother Wen Leyu had already left with his brother. How could he and his father fall behind? "Goodbye, Mr. Oli, I wish you and your children happiness and joy."

Li Ye waved to Uncle Oli, shook the reins lightly, and urged the mare under his crotch to trot.

"Gee, gee, run!"

Xiao Dou'er excitedly directed the mare, hoping that it could run faster, but the mare did not understand foreign languages ​​and continued to trot slowly according to Li Ye's instructions.

This made Xiaodou unhappy.

"Dad, Dad, please make the horse run faster! I can't catch up."

"Don't worry, mom will wait for us. Your butt will hurt if you run too fast."

In fact, riding a horse is far less comfortable than taking a car. Especially when riding fast, it is a torture for the rider's buttocks.

But at this time, Xiaodouer didn't believe that her butt would hurt. She twisted and turned on the saddle, chattering at Li Ye mentally.

"Dad, Dad, Mom taught me that no matter what I do, I must strive to be the first. How can we not be anxious?"

"Dad, Dad, how about you give me the reins? You're going to teach me how to control a horse. Do you mean by whipping its butt? Where's your whip?"

"."

Li Ye was so annoyed by this little chatterbox that he had no choice but to hand the reins to her little hands.

"Here, if you shake the reins gently, the horse will run forward. If you pull the left rein, the horse will turn left. If you pull both reins together, the horse will stop."

"Okay, okay, go~, go~"

Xiaodou'er was excited to have the driving rights. He shook the reins with his two little hands, hoping to make the horse run faster.

Under the constant harassment of the little guy, the gentle mare finally became more active and accelerated slightly.

"Turn left, turn left, turn right, turn right, hahahaha~"

Xiao Dou'er controlled the reins in his hand, directing a huge horse to move left and right on the grass, as if opening a new door.

The reason why humans can rule the world is because they can rule everything with their small bodies.

After a long struggle, the father and son finally drove their horses to the top of the hill and met up with Fu Guiru, Wen Leyu and others who had been admiring the sunset.

After Xiaodouer got off the horse, he immediately ran to Xiaobaoer and asked, "Brother, can you ride a horse now?"

Xiao Baoer blinked his eyes, thought about it, and then shook his head innocently.

He was brought up here by his mother the whole time, so of course he doesn't know how to ride a horse.

When Xiaodou saw his brother shaking his head, he immediately raised his little chin proudly.

"I already know how to ride a horse. Let me tell you, hold the reins with both hands and shake them gently to make the horse move forward, and pull to the left to make it turn left."

Xiaodou'er spread his legs, took a horse stance, and put his hands as if he was controlling the reins. He demonstrated to his brother all the key points that Professor Li Ye had just taught him.

Xiao Baoer had never seen this before. He just thought that his sister could do it but he couldn't, and he was immediately envious.

After expressing his envy, the little guy gave Li Ye a look of grievance, which clearly meant, "Dad, why are you so partial?"

Of course Li Ye would not be partial and waved to his son with a smile.

"Come on, little darling, Daddy will take you for a ride and let you learn how to shake the reins."

Xiao Baoer immediately ran over excitedly and grabbed Li Ye's hand tightly.

Li Ye couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. There were only two children in the family. Did he have to pay attention to "treating them equally" every day?
[Okay! I have to pay more attention to my son in the future, in case he ends up like Uncle Ollie.]

Li Ye was just thinking about it! Fu Guiru suddenly said, "Li Ye, let Xiaoruo take the children to play for a while! Xiaoruo's riding skills are better than yours."

"What?"

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, then looked at Wen Leyu, and then realized something.

After Fu Yiruo left with the two children, Li Ye asked, "What's wrong, mother? Is there something you want to tell me?"

Fu Guiru glanced at Li Ye and said, "Do you really think we are here to travel with our children?"

Li Ye frowned and whispered, "What happened?"

Fu Guiru winked at Wen Leyu, and Wen Leyu said in a deep voice: "Something happened at home. Someone gave a suggestion to the department, saying that the engines developed by your factory are backward technology and a meaningless waste."

Li Ye immediately thought of people like Qiao Jinfeng and Yu Li.

At that time, Ma Zhaoxian told Li Ye that Qiao Jinfeng and You Li had connections in the academic world, but Li Ye didn't care at all. He didn't expect that they were really capable of causing trouble!
