Little Life on An American Ranch

nbsp; No matter how good the new year is, there is a time when the pasture is over. In the third year of junior high school, the ranch starts to go to work.

At dawn, Jian Heng woke up and remembered that he didn't need to sweep the barn today, and his mood immediately rose by 90 degrees, and he smiled as if he had picked up money.

Damai came back to the room and saw Jian Heng sitting on the bed with a smirk, so he opened his mouth and asked, "What new things made you so happy just after waking up? Say it and let's all be happy together. It's better to be alone than to be happy together."

Now Damai and Maimai are almost together with Jian Anan all day long, and they have some bad habits of Jian Anan. When they are teachers, they show off their literary accomplishments, and they come out with some sentences from time to time, like this solo Everyone's joy is almost Jian Anan's mantra.

At the beginning, Jian Heng was fresh and praised a few words. Jian Heng naturally lost the interest in boasting when he kept saying that. Now the whole family, that is, Sun Xiuying, praised once every time they heard it. In the old lady's heart, who gave birth to her grandson? Say anything.

Jian Heng laughed when he heard this: "I won't tell you!"

Mai Ting curled her lips: "It's very likely that you are thinking about some shady thoughts, maybe you are thinking about that female classmate in Shanghai!"

Damai nodded and said, "Very likely!"

The smile on Jian Heng's face disappeared immediately, and changed into a bitter face. He lifted the quilt and stepped on the cotton slippers, showing that I don't want to talk to you two.

"Guilty!"

"definitely!"

Jian Heng: "...".

After Damai joked a few words about Jian Heng, he got down to business: "Don't forget to take over the ranch today. I have an appointment with him at nine o'clock."

Jian Heng said: "I know!"

To be honest, it doesn’t make much sense whether the ranch accepts it or not, because apart from the construction and the cowboys that cost money, the whole ranch has no livestock at all, and even the horses that the cowboys ride are transported away by the original boss. . It is understandable for Jian Heng to transport the cattle away. After all, they have spent decades or even generations of hard work to cultivate them. There is nothing wrong with their own broom, but it is a real deal to take away that kind of pasture horses. You're being stingy, taking away such a worthless horse for such a big deal is really worthless in Jian Heng's eyes.

But this remark goes back to saying that people are so stingy to save so much wealth,

If someone like Jian Heng doesn't have the space to want to be rich in this life, it will be very difficult.

He got out of bed, went directly to the bathroom, washed his body briefly, changed his clothes and went out, went to the stable to fetch the black beans, and began to wander around recklessly.

Jane got up early, and the students got up late, because they had an early rest, so they all got up at six o'clock. Thinking about it, they slept the whole time from nine o'clock in the evening to six o'clock in the morning. Nine hours, adults sleep nine hours, not even a day or two, it would be strange if the spirit is not good.

Everyone rides horses in the morning, which seems to be a habit, and this habit of many people quickly infects other people who don't have this habit in the morning, so the first thing all students get up in the morning is to ride a horse , a group of three or five people, a group of four or five people get together, some Xiaodian and some directly gallop, anyway, everyone spends the morning of this new day at their own pace.

When these people meet Jian Heng, everyone will stop and have a chat. Now these people know that Jian Heng not only owns this ranch, but also has shares in a Chinese-funded film company. Let’s not mention the momentum in the film industry, just talking about the Chinese market is enough for some Hollywood people to covet.

When Jian Heng returned home, it was almost 20 minutes later than originally scheduled, and the extra time was spent talking nonsense with the students.

Fortunately, at this time, my mother is cooking at home, and Jian Heng can have a hot breakfast as soon as he gets home.

After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Jian Heng sat next to the dining table, rubbed his hands, first praised his mother's craftsmanship, then reached out and grabbed a deep-fried stick, and threw it into the spicy soup bowl in front of him. .

Hearing Jian Heng's words, Mai Mai said disdainfully: "Praise Mom every day...Mom is just these two sentences, and I don't know how to change it. If you see it, Mom doesn't respond to it!"

Sun Xiuying raised her head and was stunned for a moment: "Did he praise me just now?"

"You...you are very cooperative. I admit defeat. You two are ancestors." Jian Heng sighed, then lowered his head and sipped the hot and spicy soup in the bowl beautifully, and then praised him casually.

It's strange to say, Jian Heng thinks that he can cook any dishes better than his mother, but this bowl of hot and spicy soup is not as good as his mother's craftsmanship, the same ingredients and the same method are just a little bit less flavorful.

"Everyone is here!"

Jian Zhenhua walked to the dining table at this time, followed by Yang Bin. The Weng and his son-in-law also went out to ride horses, but in Jian Heng's opinion, the two horses belonged to the Buddhist style of horseback riding, which followed the nature of the horse. Run if you want Liu, don't want to run or stand, neither of them mind, so the clothes the two of them are wearing are also thick, and they didn't even break out a sweat after walking around, and even Jian Heng didn't feel hot. A little hanging.

Sun Xiuying asked, "What's the matter?"

"Hurry up, hurry up, be more energetic, you're almost late for school, and the school bus will be at the gate soon!"

At this moment, Jian Anan's voice sounded, and everyone turned their heads to see Jian Anan dragging two dazed little guys towards the dining table. Needless to say, these two little guys are Jian Ningning and Yang Xiaoan Yes, the two children are very sleepy. Nine hours is enough for an adult, but two children are not enough. Twelve hours of sleep a day may not be enough, let alone how comfortable the quilt is in this winter In the family, there are two little ones who have trouble getting up.

In a daze, he put on his clothes, sat down at the dining table, yawned and looked at the breakfast in front of him, Ning Ning picked up the spoon mechanically, stuck his mouth on the side of the bowl, dazedly He poured the spicy soup into his mouth. As soon as the warm thick soup entered his stomach, Ning Ning's spirit returned.

When she heard Jian Zhenhua say that she was going home, she immediately said cleverly and subconsciously: "I won't go back!"

"No one said you!" Jian Anan scolded her sister.

As soon as she heard that no one was talking about herself, Ning Ning continued to dig the porridge in the bowl. She didn't know who handed a steamed bun in front of her.

Sun Xiuying didn't date her daughter, and asked her old man, "Why are you in such a hurry to go back? There is still a second spring at home?"

"You man, why are you talking about this in front of the children? I can't worry about so many things about the horse farm. Besides, this year has passed, and the red envelopes have been given. There is nothing left to do. I think it will be sooner. Go back," Jian Zhenhua said.

Sun Xiuying said: "Why is nothing wrong? There is a grandson who will be born at home, what can you do to get over this?"

"It's still a while, isn't it?

I'll come twice when the due date is too late, besides, I can't help here much! "Jian Zhenhua replied.

The old man was actually worried about the matter of the stud farm. After so many years of idleness, the stud farm finally awakened the old man's enthusiasm, showed the spirit of their generation, and put all their thoughts and strength into it. After being invested in the stud farm, there is almost no rest time. After leaving the stud farm for a few days, the old man feels that his whole body is not a little uncomfortable.

Jian Heng knew his father's temperament, so he persuaded his mother: "Mom, just let my father go back, he will feel uncomfortable if he is not at the stud farm for a day!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Jian Zhenhua nodded repeatedly.

Upon hearing this, Yang Bin immediately said: "Mom, then we will go back too, and we have to spend two days with Xiaoan's grandparents when we go back here during the Chinese New Year."

As soon as Sun Xiuying said this, she couldn't say anything more, so she nodded and said, "Then I won't keep you guys. When I go back, I'll give your parents a good one, and say I'll go see them when I'm done here." .

After hearing this, Yang Bin said: "Well, I know!"

Speaking of this, Sun Xiuying looked at the people at the table and sighed: "Oh, the whole family has gathered together in such a short period of time. It hasn't been a few days of fun, and the people are about to disperse again."

"Look at what you said, how embarrassing the atmosphere is... Aren't we coming again in a few days? When the child is older, the couple can take the child back to China for a while , don't let the children say badly at that time," Jian Anan said.

When Sun Xiuying heard that her little grandson was mentioned, Sun suddenly became happy again. Anyway, the little grandson is the laughing point of the old lady, and she is happy at a little bit.

After this meal, Jian Zhenhua brought Jian Anan's family to return to China tomorrow night. Jian Heng helped book the plane ticket. It's not easy to book the plane ticket at this time. The economy class is gone, even the first class is also available. After picking up a hot item, Jian Heng managed to book a flight ticket, but it didn't start from Los Angeles, but from San Francisco, and there was a stop on the way to Shanghai.

After deciding to leave, everyone started to get busy again. The big and small bags began to be packed. As long as it was something that could be taken through customs, Sun Xiuying was eager to put it in her daughter and son-in-law's bag.

At this time, Jian Heng can't help much, even if he has space, he can't follow them all the way back. Sitting bored in the living room watching TV for a while, I finally hoped that Toby would come, so I threw away the remote control in my hand, and rode with Toby to the former Edwin Harrison Marcus Ranch Company.
