Little Life on An American Ranch

After doing a few tasks, Jian Heng heard a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Jian Heng said something towards the door.

As soon as the door opened, Maimai stuck his head in, holding the door frame with one hand and the doorknob with the other, maintaining a leaning forward posture, and said to Jian Heng in a coquettish tone: "Hey, Masseuse, it's time!"

As soon as Jian Heng knew that the two of them were going to bed, he wanted to relax before going to bed, so he started to talk to his little friend who was doing the task with him just now, then quit the game and turned off the computer.

When he walked to the door and looked around, he found that there was no one in the aisle. Suddenly, Jian Heng picked up the wheat with a childlike innocence, carried it on his shoulders, and then walked towards the house.

Mai Mai didn't panic like ordinary women. Instead, she giggled happily, and then patted Jian Heng's back like playing a drum.

When he arrived at the massage room, Jian Heng put Mai Mai on the massage bed, and took off her clothes casually. Of course, there were some jokes between husband and wife.

After playing and fighting for about five minutes, it was officially massaged. Waiting for Damai to come in from the door, Maimai just started to press.

After spending an hour in the massage room, the three of them took a shower again and returned to the room.

At this time, both adults and children have already gone to bed, and the whole room is officially quiet now.

After seven or eight hours of silence, the room became lively again.

Jian Heng rode black beans, barley and wheat for a circle. When they returned home, Sun Xiuying had already prepared breakfast. Simple vegetable porridge served with delicious big meat buns. If the meat buns were not to your taste, there are Beef and vegetable buns.

As soon as she washed her hands and sat on the edge of the table, Sun Xiuying said to Jian Heng: "Don't run around in the morning, take the children to the circus. I heard Damai and Wheat said that there is a new show today."

"What new show?"

Jian Heng became a little curious, thinking that he didn't know about the new show in the town, so how did the two of them know.

Jian Heng thought that barley and wheat were more closed than him, but in fact Jian Heng was the most closed person in the whole ranch. If he didn’t tell him, he wouldn’t know how many new stores have opened in the town now, and a bottle of beer has increased by one dollar .

Wheat said: "The new horse dance program,

We invited a special team, and it happened to be a performance today, we have classes in the morning, or we would take the children there."

"Dancing horse?" Jian Heng was a little puzzled, isn't horse just for riding, why is there dancing?

When it comes to horse dancing, Jian Heng can't help but think of dragon dance, lion dance and so on. Immediately, he adjusted the picture in his mind to several people, you are holding the horse's front leg, and I am holding the horse's hind leg, playing over and over again. Several images flashed by, Jian Heng thinks this scene is too embarrassing. Guan Jian is a horse or a living creature. After struggling like this, it would weigh a few hundred catties at a young age. It is impossible to dance with four or five people like this, let alone It can't be that everyone in the circus is a strong man with great strength.

To have such skills, the man would have already participated in the Hercules competition, who would go to the circus to dance some kind of horse.

"What are you thinking?" Seeing that Jian Heng was distracted while talking to him, Mai Mai immediately became unhappy, and asked Jian Hengfa while knocking on the table.

Mai Mai's voice immediately pulled Jian Heng's thoughts back: "I didn't think about it, dancing horses, I know, I'll go when the show starts, ten o'clock in the morning or eleven o'clock in the morning?"

According to the working nature of Montana people, it is normal to start work at eleven o'clock, and ten o'clock is considered as a hard-working shopkeeper, and most of them are a generation of shopkeepers.

"The first show will be at 9:30 in the morning." Damai said, "You can buy tickets after you have finished your meal. Don't have any tickets when the time comes. It would be bad if you took the four children outside to freeze for a few hours." ".

"And there's such a thing as not being able to buy a ticket?" Jian Heng couldn't believe it.

Damai said: "There are only four performances in total. After the performances, the circus will go to California to perform. When you go, you can also book two afternoon tickets for me and Xiaomai. I heard that their performances are very good. ".

"OK, OK!"

Jian Heng agreed without hesitation.

After finishing his meal like this, Jian Heng got into the car and went directly to the town. When he arrived at the southwest end of the town, he found that there were three or four tents in the middle of the ten-acre public pasture, and two of them were very big. Kind of like a small theater. In addition to the two big tents, there are about 20 small tents, all of which sell some food and drink, as well as some small tourist souvenirs.

When I was at home, Jian Heng felt that it was too early to come out at this time, but now it seems that this is not the case at all. Just at this point, before nine o'clock, I can already see groups of small merchants starting to do business. Everyone Almost all of them are stocking up, and everyone is very busy.

Walking to the door of the tent of the Dancing Horse Circus, Jian Heng asked a 40-year-old white man at the door: "Excuse me, where can I buy the ticket?"

The white man enthusiastically pointed to a small half-open tent next to him. At this time, three or two people were already queuing up next to the small tent.

Jian Heng thanked him, and then walked to the end of the line. Jian Heng knew two or three people in the line, and they were all cowboys who worked on a nearby ranch.

"Why are you so early?" Jian Heng asked after greeting him.

As soon as the words were spoken, the cowboy at the front said to the aunt in her thirties who sold the tickets: "Forty tickets, half past nine."

Jian Heng said: I'll go!

"We lined up to buy tickets for the guests of the ranch, and you came to see it too?"

"Well, a few kids want to come and watch the horse dance, so I'll buy some tickets," Jian Heng said.

"It's hard to buy tickets now. The afternoon tickets are sold out, and there are only a few seats left!"

"What?" Jian Heng couldn't believe his ears a little bit. When will this town be robbing tickets for a circus!

Just as Jian Heng finished being amazed, he heard the second cowboy say, "Sixty-eight, at 9:30 in the morning!"

"Did I say you all bought it like this?" Jian Heng couldn't sit still when he heard that, if he bought it like they did, he might have nothing left for such a big tent.

The cowboy who bought the ticket said: "I can't help it, what should we do with so many guests in our ranch!"

To be honest, the person smiled, took out a credit card from his pocket, swiped it, and took away the folded tickets.

"I'm sorry, I still have more than forty cards here!" The cowboy in front of Jian Heng said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Jian Heng immediately asked the 30-year-old aunt who sold the tickets, "Does he still have any tickets after buying?"

The arithmetic of Americans is really terrible. After more than forty tickets were issued, he said to Jian Heng: "There are still ten tickets, all of which are in the last row."

"Seven tickets! By the way, do you still have the tickets for the afternoon?" Jian Heng asked while taking out his card.

"No, I don't have a single ticket for the afternoon, and the tickets for the afternoon were sold out yesterday"

So Jian Heng had no choice but to take seven tickets and return home, and told Barley and Wheat about the misfortune.

"Why don't you two go and see, I'll go to class for you this morning." Jian Heng said his solution.

"Forget it, you can't replace today's class, today we will be in Shujia," Damai said.

Mai Mai said: "Let's take a look when we have time to go to California to play."

Jian Heng thought it would be like this, so he waited until the time was almost up, and drove the car directly, taking his four children, mother, and sister to the circus.

When he arrived at the place, Jian Heng couldn't believe his eyes, good guy! It was like a fair in the countryside in the past, rubbing shoulders together. When did Montana have such a scene?

"It's so lively"

The four children shouted happily as they got out of the car.

"Hello, you are also a tourist, the whole family is here?"

Jian Heng hadn't recovered from his exclamation yet. He heard someone greet him, and turned his head to find a middle-aged couple with a boy about ** years old smiling at him.

"No, we are not tourists, we live near here"

"Wow! I really didn't expect it, no wonder the children's English is so good."

After finishing speaking, the woman pushed her child: "Xiaoyang, go and practice English with your brothers and sisters in the past. If you don't open your mouth, you can't speak the language well."

When Jian Heng heard this, several black lines appeared on his forehead. He never thought that such a thing would happen to him again.

"Sorry, we're here to see the dancing horses," Jian Heng said politely.

Jian Heng's meaning is very clear, he is here to watch the circus, and he has no obligation to accompany your child to practice English.

"Exactly, we are also watching the dancing horses, together, together!"

The woman's words made Jian Heng even more embarrassed.
