Rural life in America

Chapter 494
In fact, under the unanimous criticism, Zhang Hao was actually a little shaken. He felt that it might not be a bad thing to send Xixi to the interest training class, at least he was not as resistant as before.

Because Zhang Hao can understand a little bit now, he also thinks that maybe sending children to training classes is a bad thing, and it may not be a burden.

Because it’s not about getting kids to learn a skill so they can get extra points on exams, it’s not about getting a certificate or learning a skill to make a living, it’s really not that.

This is just to let the children find something more interesting, just to let the children play happily, it's such a simple thing, it's just to develop the children's hobbies, it's not that complicated at all.

"Xixi, do you like to dance?" Holding Xixi in his arms, Zhang Hao asked seriously, "Xixi, if Dad asks you to learn to dance, do you like it?"

Xixi laughed childishly, confidently, "Dad, Xixi can dance!"

Well, Xixi can indeed dance; in some performances at school, Xixi has been on stage.What are you holding a small flower to run, or lying on the stage and kicking your legs... In short, Xixi is an excellent group performer on the stage, at least Zhang Hao thinks Xixi is excellent, at least every time he watches the performance , Zhang Hao only has Xixi in his eyes, although sometimes it is difficult to find her.

"Honey, we will take her to see first, and if she is interested, we will help her sign up." Christina was helpless because her husband still did not let go of the last worry, "Honey, we still have time , we will consider finding a training class for Xixi after her summer vacation is over."

Well, since Christina has said so, Zhang Hao naturally has nothing to say.

Xixi went to play games again, and she and Yoyo were arguing to go swimming; at this time, there was nothing wrong with Zhang Hao, because Little John and Little Wolf were also arguing to join in the fun, and asked Monica and Christina to take the children go.

Yu Xiu patted the sofa and said to her son, "Xiao Hao, come here!"

Zhang Hao walked over obediently and sat beside his mother, "Mom, what's the matter?"

"It's not about reporting to Xixi's training class, I want to talk to you!" Yu Xiu was very serious, and she seized the opportunity, "In the past, your father and I said that now we are in the United States, and we Some habits of the country are different, and you young people have different ideas about educating children, so I didn’t say much about some things with your father.”

Zhang Hao knew what kind of attitude he should adopt, and he knew that he needed to put on an attitude of listening attentively at this time.

Sure enough, Yu Xiu continued, "This time, I still think that Tina and the others are right. Xixi is really going to enroll in a training class! You, you always want to let the children play, and you just want to play all day long!"

Zhang Hao was very aggrieved, and argued, "Mom, that's really not the case. I didn't say to let the children play all the time. I just think the children are too young now, so there is no need to give them a bigger burden."

Yu Xiu patted her youngest son on the shoulder and said very seriously, "Of course I know. I see Xixi and the others are happy playing at home, and I am happy when they are happy. Of course I want to see my granddaughter and grandson happy. That's right. Think about it, if you don't like going to school so much, can you let her go? And going to dance school, Yoyo is also very happy. We don't want her to become a dancer, but we want her to learn something, It’s really good to learn and play at the same time!”

Zhang Hao was dejected, because he found that he was alone now, and it seemed that his family members supported sending the children to study, and they all supported sending the children to training classes.

The attitude is also quite consistent, not to make the children become elites, not to make the children become masters; this is to learn while playing, it is to cultivate children's interest, not to let the little ones mess around in the ranch .

"Mom, I got it! Tina and I are planning to find a training class for Xixi after the summer vacation. Whether it's music or dancing, let's see what Xixi likes first, let her try it first, and continue to learn if she is interested. !"

Yu Xiu was also very happy to see that her son was finally enlightened; she really felt that Zhang Hao was a little paranoid now, and of course she didn't want to put too much burden on Xixi now, and she also knew that there would be no accidents. will be small.

It's just that there is no harm in learning more about some things, and it is still a good thing to cultivate children's hobbies.

"Man, let's go to the racecourse!" Barney blew his whistle, and he was idle, "Go and see our racehorses, those babies can make me a lot of money, and I need them to make me John's College tuition!"

Zhang Hao couldn't help complaining, "It's too far away, and it will take another 15 years! And man, I know you have no pressure at all, you don't have any pressure to save John for college tuition, you have already done this!"

John laughed out loud. He is indeed not short of money now, at least he is not short of money, "Dude, you should know that many parents in the United States are like this, saving their children for college tuition in advance. This is not a sum of money Small number, I don't want my John to owe tens of thousands of dollars in loans when he just started college!"

Well, this is the reality, because college tuition in the United States is really not cheap, and student loans are not easy to pay off!

Zhang Hao and Barney rode their horses very boldly, and now it is completely possible for Ba Wang to run away with joy; because he did not bring children, and because Zhang Hao knew that Barney's riding skills were quite good, then naturally at this time There is no need to be conservative.

Perez smiled when he saw the boss coming, because he knew that the boss didn't come to instruct the work, but just came to see.

In fact, Perez has learned a lot in the past few years. In the past, the racecourse was really inseparable from Zhang Hao. Basically, Zhang Hao was responsible for formulating the training plan for the horse racing training, and Zhang Hao was required to prepare the feed and so on.

But now Perez can really help a lot. Although Zhang Hao still needs to check it out, it is almost done after explaining some directions clearly. Perez can actually do a good job in the details.Of course, Perez is not yet fully qualified. He still has a lot to learn and improve, but it is not a big problem to stand alone.

Barney looked at the horse racing with satisfaction. Although most of the horses in the racecourse were trained by Zhang Hao or fostered here by other racecourses; Even let him earn hundreds of thousands, but it is still worthy of recognition, because once the shot is made, the entry-level sports car will definitely be able to earn.

"Dude, we're the big names in the horse racing market now, we're the industry's buzzword now!"

Hearing Barney's words, Zhang Hao was also very proud, "Of course, the horses we sell can be seen in all major races, and many top horses are trained in my racecourse! Haha, although I have not yet unified the horse racing world , but they really can't ignore my existence, especially every time we encounter a big competition, we will take away a lot of bonuses!"

Barney licked his lips, feeling a little emotional, "I'm really reluctant to part with this business, I'm really reluctant to part with this huge sum of money! Dude, although selling racehorses can guarantee my life is pretty good, but our racehorses Gambling is what makes the most money, and that's what excites me the most!"

Zhang Hao shrugged, feeling a little helpless, "I am also reluctant to part with this business. I can make a lot of money here every year, which is enough for me to buy a big ranch. But man, I can't guarantee it." When will this business stop. I'm worried I'll be overwhelmed and I hate the rush before a big game, it makes me feel drained!"

Barney laughed and joked, "It's just because you are not short of money now. If you are very short of money, I can guarantee that you will persist even if you are tired! Just like when we just started horse racing, we kept going. Betting on various events, we have always been analyzing horse racing. No matter how tired we are, we will not feel uncomfortable, because we can make money. But now, we can no longer be satisfied with only a few thousand dollars or tens of thousands of dollars. Income!"

Zhang Hao also laughed, it's true; it's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.

When he was short of money, Zhang Hao wanted to make money from all kinds of competitions, regardless of the first-level or second-level competitions, as long as he could earn a few thousand dollars, he would be happy.But now, continuous analysis of horse racing will make him feel very tired, and earning a few thousand dollars is really not worthwhile in his opinion, and even at least hundreds of thousands of dollars are needed to be tempted.

Identity has changed, life has changed, there is no such great pressure in life, and people have really become lazy. A comfortable life can indeed kill people's enterprising spirit, especially for a person who is a little lazy in his bones, a little rich This is especially true for Ann's people.

The two brothers were reminiscing about bitterness and sweetness, talking about looking for games everywhere in the United States, talking about the excitement of earning thousands of dollars in a game, and talking about how even if they made hundreds of dollars during that time Also full of sense of accomplishment.

I am also complaining now, now that I have earned hundreds of thousands of dollars, I don’t have the same excitement as before. Now, money-making competitions such as the Triple Crown and the Breeders’ Cup are basically routine money-making trips. This kind of tension and anticipation, I am not so invested at all, every time I just think about quickly analyzing the riders and horses, studying the odds and making money!

It’s really like this, maybe it’s because I’m not as poor as before, but I’m still very keen on making money; it’s just because there’s no pressure, and because I’ve had too many successes, I don’t have the passion I had before.

It's hard to say which state is better, because although Zhang Hao has lost the original passion, Zhang Hao enjoys the comfortable life now!
