Little Life on An American Ranch

  Chapter 71 Life Picture Scroll

  Back home, Jian Heng found that Barley and Mai had already fallen asleep, and the little white lion had disappeared. Without even thinking about it, Jian Heng knew that the little lion must have been brought into the bedroom by the two sisters.

  If you know it, you know it, but Jian Heng can't call the two sisters at this time. Those who know think that Jian Heng is looking for a lion, those who don't know may think that Jian Heng has some crooked thoughts. Besides, Jian Heng has no time to trouble these two sisters now, there is still so much beef in the space that has not been dealt with, how can he have time to toss about the lion.

After entering the kitchen and looking for the necessary seasonings, Jian Heng returned to his room and stepped into the secret space. Except for the ribs, he separated the rest of the meat from the bones and marinated the meat with spices. As for the bones, it is natural to find an opportunity to throw them away.

   After such busy work, it was late at night, and it was already one o'clock in the night after leaving the secret space. After taking a quick bath, Jian Heng climbed into bed and fell asleep not long after.

  When I opened my eyes again, the sky outside was already bright.

   "Denver, Denver"

  As soon as Jian Heng opened his eyes, he heard the cheerful voices of the two sisters outside the house.

  Getting up from the bed, Jian Heng opened the curtains, and when his eyes adjusted to the sunlight outside the window, he saw the McAvoy sisters playing with the little white lion in front of the room.

  The morning sun is bright but not glaring, with a slight golden yellow that has not faded, and it looks very comfortable.

The dark blue pasture is now the most plump time of the year, and there are still dots of dew hanging on it, and from time to time, some small insects can be seen jumping out of the pasture, bending the grass Before the blade of grass shrugged down, the bug moved to another leaf.

Sisters Damai and Wheat stood in front of the house. The two sisters were wearing plain loose sportswear, a bit like Jian Heng's school uniform when he was young. It used to look very earthy, but it was set off by the figures of the two sisters. Suddenly, this earthy school uniform-style sportswear has a different style.

   "Denver!"

With a clear female voice, the little white lion turned its head, twisted its four fluffy short legs and ran towards the girl who made the sound. cheerful cry.

  As soon as he ran to the girl, another female voice called Denver again, and the little white lion turned his head again and ran towards another girl.

On a sunny morning, the two extremely beautiful girls, full of youthful breath, bathed in the sun and let out a series of silver bell-like laughter, accompanied by a white lion cub that was so cute that it exploded, accompanied by Qingqing The grass, the blue sky, outlines an exciting picture in Jian Heng's eyes.

Such a beautiful picture scroll made Jian Heng feel a little lost for a while. He just stood in front of the window on the second floor, with his bare upper body leaning on the window frame with one hand on his waist, watching the play in front of the house with a smile on his face. Two females and one lion.

   "Hey, come down and play together!"

   I don’t know if it’s barley or wheat. When I looked up, I found Jian Heng standing on the second floor. He happily brushed his hair hanging on his forehead, and waved at Jian Heng.

Jian Heng hadn't answered yet, and the other one made fun of Jian Heng: "Woke up so early to put on a pose? Are you a bit too boring? I know your muscles are pretty good, but there is no one else here. You are so narcissistic!"

   After speaking, the girl reached out and picked up a small clod of mud on the ground, raised her hand and threw it towards Jian Heng.

  The girl has a lot of strength, and her aim is also very good. Under the control of her strength, the little lump of mud flew towards Jian Heng's stomach steadily.

  How could Jian Heng endure this forcefully? Although he lacked strength, Jian Heng still stretched out his hand, and gently patted the little mud flying towards him aside.

   "You still dare to beat the boss, your work will be doubled today!" Jian Heng said jokingly, then turned and left the window sill.

   "Slackers!" Not to be outdone, the two sisters yelled at Jian Heng's window with a smile, and then continued to play with the little lion.

   Jian Heng took a shower and changed his clothes. When he got downstairs, he found that all the dumplings hadn't moved yet.

   walked to the door: "Have you eaten yet?"

   "Didn't eat, we don't know how to cook dumplings, so we have to wait for you to get up." At this point, this person looked at the sports watch on his wrist: "You have to hurry up, Zhao and the others will be here in ten minutes at most."

   "Oh, I don't even know how to cook a dumpling, so what if I get married in the future!" Jian Heng left a sentence and turned his head to enter the house.

  The two sisters gave Jian Heng **** unceremoniously when they heard what Jian Heng said.

   Then he turned around, and Jian Heng heard the sound of a car motor. He thought it was Zhao Changshan and the others coming, but when he turned around, he found that it was Old Walsh's old pickup.

  When the old Walsh came, Jian Heng was not in a hurry to enter the house, and walked out of the room smilingly waiting for the old Walsh to come.

  The old pickup truck stopped at the door of Jian Heng's house with a different engine sound, and the lean old Walsh pushed open the door and came down.

  After getting out of the car, the old man lifted up his trousers, which is his habitual action for decades.

   After tightening his pants, the old man greeted Jian Heng and the McAvoy sisters with a blank expression.

  The old man's greeting is also very simple, a deep hi is considered to be over.

What Jian Heng didn't expect was that Colter and Remington were still sitting in the old man's car. The two guys were not as calm as old Walsh. Seeing the McAvoy sisters, they seemed to be hooked. Like a soul.

  Jian Heng just watched the two brothers walk towards the McAvoy sisters as if they were crawling out of the car, stretched out their hands from a long distance, and began to introduce themselves continuously.

   Turning his eyes from the two hopeless brothers to Voy, Jian Heng asked, "Why are you all here?"

"The slaughtered ones have been sent to fattening, and the non-slaughtered ones have already been driven out today. If you have a few hours to spare, let them come and help!" Old Walsh said very simply. After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at his two family members. Surrounded by beauties like pug puppies.

  The old man specially came to help, not only came by himself but also brought his two sons.

   Just glanced at it, the old man's face showed no expression, and he didn't know whether it was approval or contempt. When he turned his head to face Jian Heng, he immediately started talking about today's affairs.

   "What job?"

  Jian Heng stretched out his finger and pointed at the barn: "Today's work is mainly to tear down the walls, the southeast two walls."

"Ok!"

   "Come on, come in, I happened to make dumplings yesterday, the authentic Chinese taste, let's have a taste together" Jian Heng said and motioned for Old Walsh to go in with him.

  Bringing old Walsh into the house, considering the tastes of foreigners, Jian Heng stopped cooking and changed to frying. In this way, Jian Heng was chatting with old Walsh while frying dumplings.

  The two of them were talking about the situation of the ranch. What Old Walsh was concerned about here was when Jian Heng was going to buy cattle, how much to buy, and whether there were other demands for livestock.

  Jian Heng and Old Walsh talked about their own ideas and their preliminary plans. The two discussed the ratio of livestock and the market that may appear next year.

Hearing that Jian Heng was going to put livestock on the sideline here, Old Walsh was stunned for a while and sighed: "Yeah, I'm also thinking about building a family hotel now. It's not easy to rely on the ranch alone." .

Only real ranchers know how hard it is to work on a ranch. After a year of hard work, the old Walsh family can become a middle class. Don't look at all of them as multi-millionaires. The money that can really be spent is not many.

Before the conversation between the two was over, Zhao Changshan arrived outside the house with someone. Just as Zhao Changshan got out of the car, the people from the Martinez family who came to help followed him. Within a quarter of an hour, the people who came to Jianheng Ranch to help It's almost there.

  Everyone is quite punctual, almost everyone is here at the agreed time.

  As soon as Zhao Changshan came, the work of selling the house naturally fell on him, and Jian Heng just had an excuse to buy something, and after more than half an hour, he returned to the pasture with a large bag of raw beef.

   When Jian Heng returned to the ranch, the people who came to the ranch to help the suspicious people were already working in full swing. To work on a ranch, first of all you have to be an all-rounder. Not only do you have to work, but you also need to have certain skills. Repairing fences and the like are not worth mentioning at all, such as delivering cows and horses, temporarily acting as a carpenter, repairman, etc. It's so normal that it can't be normal anymore.

  Therefore, tearing down the wall of the house was an extremely simple matter. Just as Jian Heng walked away, a large gap two meters wide was already opened on the south wall of the barn.

  Zhao Changshan saw Jian Heng carrying so much meat back, and asked in surprise, "What are you doing with so much meat?"

   "Please try my barbecue skills at noon today!" Jian Heng put the meat directly on the table.

   "Huh! Did you put away the dumplings?" Jian Heng found that the dumplings that were still full of eyes in the morning were almost half gone now.

  Zhao Changshan replied with a smile: "I put it away, and it all went into their stomachs. The good guys are too good to eat!"

Seeing Zhao Changshan's direction of pouting his mouth, Jian Hengming understood that these dumplings were eaten by helpers: "It's all for manual labor, so it's strange if you can't eat it! Okay, I'm here for barbecue, 20 at noon Jin, you want to cook the rest of the dishes."

   After speaking, Jian Heng rolled up his sleeves and got ready to work.
