Little Life on An American Ranch

Things went smoothly unexpectedly. Melissa chatted with Jian Heng and He Ye, and directly changed the ticket. The newly appointed general manager of the company, Mei, left the ranch without even staying for lunch. Take the plane back to New York, transfer back to Europe and start handling the company's affairs.

Jian Heng and Zuo Tong, Jim and He Ye, together with the boys from the ranch, plus barley and wheat, set up a pose directly on the long table under the porch, and had a lively meal housewarming meal.

A table of dishes was eaten naked in the end. Now, one lion in White Lion Denver is worth the food of two people, and it still only eats meat, and it doesn't even pick up a bone. From Jian Heng's point of view, Dan Fei was abandoned by two women.

After eating, a group of people rested for a while, and when it was past three o'clock in the afternoon, Zuo Tong also left, and Jim and He Ye were left. The three of them were friends and got along a lot more freely and casually.

Jian Heng proposed to go hunting, so he set off with a gun, a horse, and He Ye's bodyguards.

Jian Heng led Jim and He Ye to run across his pasture, chasing rabbits or wild birds out of the grass, and then tried his marksmanship to see if he could hit them.

Jim's horse rides very well, but what Jian Heng didn't expect is that He Ye's horse rides better than Jim's. Heng and Jim added up to more.

boom!

With a wild cry, Jim immediately urged the horse to gallop towards the place where the prey landed.

This time Jim was lucky, a stupid swan was hit directly by him, and fell from the air like a stone. As for the other swans, they flapped their wings and flew to the sky desperately. The North American geese who have always been used to being arrogant in the sky are almost scared out of their souls now.

"Hitting swans, are you all right?" He Ye reined in his horse, turned around and asked Jian Heng.

"This thing is not protected here, there are too many! Even if it is protected, who would come to my ranch to accuse me of shooting swans?" Jian Heng pouted in the direction where the swan landed. In fact, New York State is also thinking about it. Legislating to kill some swans is because there are too many of them, and they are not afraid of people, and they chase people to peck them from time to time, which is very annoying.

If you have a child who has lived in the countryside, you will know what kind of virtue a swan is if you think about the big white geese raised by someone. The three tyrants in the village are not just ridicule.

In the United States, there are very few wild animals that are hunted and killed indiscriminately, and Americans are too picky, so this layer of things has become insatiable, and from time to time they have to fight against the autumn wind of human beings, bullying pedestrians and so on. If put in the country,

It has long been a pot of soup, and even the black swans in the park have been stolen home and eaten, not to mention the unowned ones.

Walking to He Ye's side, Jian Heng and he stood side by side on the hill, watching Jim continue to gallop towards the falling swan one by one.

He Ye took a look at Jian Heng, then turned his gaze back to Jim, and stretched out his hand to send his bodyguard aside. The bodyguard was also very sensible, about twenty meters away.

Seeing the bodyguards leave, He Ye suddenly said to Jian Heng: "You don't seem to be living happily here these days?"

"Huh?" Jian Heng was a little strange, and opened his mouth to ask, "Why do you say that?"

He Ye glanced at Jian Heng again: "I'm not as energetic as I was when I saw you last time, and I've lost a bit of energy in my body!"

"You still know how to read pictures?" Jian Heng joked with a smile.

He Ye said: "It's not about looking, I think you have lost the energy you used to have, and you looked very energetic back then. Now, although you have a smile on your face, you can still see a gloomy look between your brows." of".

Hearing what he said, Jian Heng was stunned for a while, and then he let out a long sigh: "Maybe, when I had no money, every day when I opened my eyes, I thought about how much money I would make today, and then my whole body was I keep moving towards this goal. I don’t think about other things, I just keep running and running, without stopping for a moment. Although the days are tiring, I feel more fulfilled now than before.”

Speaking of this, Jian Heng pointed to the land under him: "Now that we have a ranch, we hardly owe any money. The lack of money is a slight shortcoming now, but it doesn't mean that today is over, just I can’t see what will happen tomorrow. Now that today is over, I feel that tomorrow will be the same, and the day after tomorrow will not change. It seems that I have seen the day of death at a glance. These days I am also thinking about these things. People are so entangled, The Awakening Boundary Talisman you have is mediocre, and the one you don’t have is desperately pursued, but once you get it, you will gradually forget how much you wanted it!"

He Ye glanced at Jian Heng, and then suddenly asked, "What do you think is the difference between Chinese farmers plowing the land and American farmers plowing the land?"

Hearing him ask this question, Jian Heng was stunned for a moment subconsciously, and blurted out: "Why did you ask this question all of a sudden?"

He Ye didn't wait for Jian Heng to answer, and said by himself: "After the Chinese farmers plow the land, the mud furrows on the ground are long strips, like a regular parallel line, one by one. But the American farmers plow the land, It is a complete circle, and the plowed roads look like concentric circles from the air!"

"I know this, the diameter must be reduced, and the area of ​​the circle is the largest!" Jian Heng knew about this.

Many farms in the United States took this coincidence when they bought them. When the length is constant, the area of ​​the circle is the largest.

So if you see four farms of the same size placed together, you will find that the four farms leave a piece of unowned land in the middle of the four circles, or the land of the government, thus forming a certain degree of waste.

But the farmer only cares about the larger the area of ​​his farm, the better, and he doesn't care about these vacancies, because for them, the empty land is not his farm anyway.

"I'm not telling you this, I'm referring to the way of farming, whether it's round or square, the land will eventually be planted with food, right?" He Ye asked.

Jian Heng replied affirmatively: "That's for sure, they are not farmers if they don't grow food!"

Jian Heng still didn't know what He Ye wanted to say.

He Ye smiled and said: "What I mean is that whether the land is round or square, it is a way of farming. You used to be a way of life without stopping every day, but now you feel that there is nothing to do. It is also a way of life. way. There is no right or wrong in life, whether it is good or bad, most of the time it depends not on life itself, but on your state of mind.”

After speaking, He Ye stretched out his hand and turned his body sideways, and poked Jian Heng's heart with his finger.

Hearing what He Ye said, Jian Heng smiled: "Wow, is there any need to talk so deeply?"

"It's not profound!" He Ye smiled and said: "You may not know my origin, I am an illegitimate child, and I can't say my father's name to others since I was born. I am destined not to be able to get in touch with him in public. Yes. So when I was young, I was very envious of those children whose fathers came to pick them up. I once felt that I was the most miserable child in the world!"

Speaking of this, He Ye looked at Jian Heng: "There is still a period of time, I hope that his famous children are all finished, because I envy them that they can confidently say who my father is. But then I figured out One thing, in fact, I got more things than ordinary people, life has given me a lot of things, but I don't care, but I want to chase after that I can't have!"

Jian Heng could understand He Ye's mood at that time, but he couldn't understand it, because Jian Heng was not an illegitimate child, so he couldn't understand He Ye's mood at that time.

He Ye smiled at this moment: "After I figured this out, I immediately felt that I was living a pretty good life. I received a good education, had more resources than others, and living conditions that many people dream of. What else is there to complain about? My goal now is very simple, not to make money. In fact, how much money I make doesn’t mean much to me now. I just want to live every day and enjoy a beautiful moment of life, no matter it’s sour Whether it’s sweet, bitter or spicy, these are the tastes of life itself! Taste it sincerely, and you will feel its beauty.”

"Why did you tell me this?" Jian Heng seemed to understand a little bit, but he didn't understand at all.

"You are a bit like me," He Ye said.

"Us?" Jian Heng stretched out his finger and drew two strokes between himself and He Ye, and then said, "I didn't see it!"

He Ye smiled: "The life of chasing money all the time is not what you should live, learn to enjoy the life you have now!"

"Why, I've been chasing money like this before, and it's not bad after chasing for a few years!" Jian Heng objected to He Ye thinking of himself this way.

"You are a person who values ​​affection, money is very good for you, but you don't put money first! Just like me, I do a lot of business, but what I am interested in is not business, but It's human, just like I invested in Melissa, I think she is a careerist and worthy of my investment, so whether she is a brokerage company or something else, I will invest once." He Ye smiled Said.

"Is there a time when you were wrong? That is, when the money was stolen?" Jian Heng asked.

He Ye nodded: "Yes, two people defrauded me of money, but in general, what I earned was much higher than what I lost, so I say I look at people not bad".

After speaking, He Ye stretched out his hand and patted Jian Heng's shoulder: "Jim has found his swan!"

After finishing speaking, before Jian Heng could say anything, he squeezed the horse's belly between his legs, and immediately rushed down the slope.

Jian Heng stretched out his hand to stop him, but he didn't make a sound after all. He stood still and thought for a while, then urged Heidou to rush down the slope together.

"Look at this guy!"

Jim held the goose's neck in a showy manner, and said to the two speeding over.

"It's really fat!" Jian Heng nodded.

The swan shot down by Jim made Jian Heng wonder how it could fly.
