After parking the car, Liu Dong immediately looked around at Uncle Long's courtyard.
To be honest, it is very similar to an ordinary courtyard in a Chinese village. There are two cucumbers planted on the west fence, but maybe they have not been planted for a long time, and only small yellow flowers are grown on the dark green melon vines.
Next to the cucumbers are two racks of dark green tomatoes. The melon vines have already produced red ripe fruits, and the red ones are dripping with water, which makes people feel appetizing.
In addition to tomatoes and cucumbers, there are also very common farm vegetables such as beans, luffa, green onions, etc. At such a low price, dozens of free-range chickens peck back and forth, but they usually look at the two big dogs with wary eyes.
Apparently I've suffered from them before.
Next to the vegetable field is a pond of about 5 acres. When Liu Dong came in, he could still see fish jumping out of the water occasionally!
Not far from the pond, there are two grape trellises next to the fence on the east side. The lush grape trellis blocks the sun, leaving a patch of shade. There is also a stone table and four stone tables under the grape trellis.
There is a stool and a lounge chair next to it.
In addition to these fruits, a pomegranate tree, a peach tree and a few pear trees were planted in vacant areas in the courtyard, as well as rose orchids, phalaenopsis and other common flowers that Liu Dong was familiar with.
Looking around, the entire courtyard is colorful and full of life under the autumn sunshine. It not only has the joy of life of a farmhouse with chickens crowing and dogs barking, but also the Chinese people have longed for since ancient times to pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and avoid the leisurely worldly distractions!
After taking a deep breath of the fresh air that Liu Dong could only find in his memory, he couldn't help but envy: "Uncle Long, your place is such a great place. It makes me want to buy a farm!"
"Haha. That's a good relationship. There isn't much else in Canada, but there are a lot of farms. If you really want it, just buy one here. The land here is cheap anyway, so you don't have to pay for it!"
Uncle Long smiled.
Liu Dong nodded. Although he couldn't live here year-round like Uncle Long. But there was no problem in taking one or two months every year to come to the farm for vacation. Moreover, he had a lot of money now, so he should pursue better things.
quality of life!
"Let's go, I'll take you to my farm to see!"
Seeing Uncle Long's high spirits, Liu Dong was also deeply interested, and the two of them walked out of the small courtyard together.
On Uncle Long's farm, the fenced courtyard where he usually lives is only a small part of the farm, and there are more farms growing cash crops outside.
However, there are only a small amount of soybeans and wheat grown here in Uncle Long, and there are more playgrounds and cattle and sheep grazing leisurely.
"My son is mainly engaged in lumber and supermarket business in Canada, so I mainly raise these cattle and sheep on my farm. Then I will sell them in his supermarket."
After nodding, Liu Dong said: "Uncle Long, how big is your farm?"
"It's not too big, about 12,000 acres!" Uncle Long said.
"12,000 acres is not a big deal?"
Liu Dong was really surprised. In his hometown, the average grain fields for a family of four totaled less than 10 acres!
"Haha, you have been in China for a long time and don't understand the situation of foreign agriculture, especially Canadian farms!...Here, there are fewer people and more land. Large farms of tens of thousands of acres are everywhere, even in Manitoba.
In provinces like Ontario with developed agriculture, there are many large farms with hundreds of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, or tens of thousands of acres! My farm is really nothing!" Uncle Long waved his hand.
"It seems that I am really a little ignorant!" Liu Dong said with a bitter smile.
"Haha, you will find out after you stay with me for a few days!"
After finishing speaking, Uncle Long looked into the distance and saw a tall, strong man on a horse rushing towards here.
In less than five minutes, people had already arrived.
"Uncle Long, are you back?"
After shouting, Han jumped off the horse with one leg. His clean and neat movements showed his superb riding skills, which made Liu Dong feel a little envious. He had never ridden a horse since he was a child!
"Back! Yan Chun, come, let me introduce you, this is Liu Dong, who just came from China!...Liu Dong, this is Yan Chun, thanks to him, otherwise I would have such a big farm by myself.
It can’t be managed!”
"Uncle Long, you are so polite. If you hadn't taken me in, I would have starved to death on the streets now!" After Yan Chun finished speaking, he extended his right hand to Liu Dong, "Hello, my name is Yan Chun. I will be here in the future.
If you don’t understand anything on this farm, just come to me and I will definitely help you!”
It was obvious that the other party thought Liu Dong was a farm worker that Uncle Long had brought back from outside.
However, Liu Dong didn't explain much. He could tell that the young man in front of him was a real person, so after sizing him up, he smiled and held his hand, "Okay, I'll ask you to take care of me from now on."
Got it!"
"No problem, I'll cover it!"
"Xiyuyu...!" Just as the man was speaking, a long and powerful neighing sound of horses came from afar.
His attention was immediately attracted, and he saw that 500 meters away, in the oak tree separation zone between two farms, a tall horse with a body as black as charcoal and long mane on the back of its neck flying like the wind crossed the low barbed wire fence.
Finally, he ran into Uncle Long's farm.
With a joyful neighing of breaking free from the restraints, he started galloping through the morning field like lightning, scaring the surrounding cattle and sheep that were grazing leisurely into scattering.
"It's broken, Uncle Long, it's Charlie from next door who ran out again!" Yan Chun's face immediately changed color when he saw the dark horse.
"Stop it quickly. If you let this guy drive the cattle away, something big will happen!" Uncle Long's face also changed color.
He has about 800 cows on his farm, and almost each one weighs about 200 kilograms. If these cows are allowed to charge in groups, it will be no less powerful than the ancient cavalry charging on the battlefield, unless they are tired from running.
, otherwise you won’t be able to stop it even if you want to!
"Uncle Long, I'm going!" Yan Chun also knew that there was no need to delay, so he immediately jumped on the maroon horse next to him, tied the horse's rope from the back waist, turned the horse's head and rushed over.
"Uncle Long, let me go and have a look too!" Liu Dong said.
"You go? But can you ride a horse? And the only horse we have here is Yan Chun! Without a horse, we can't stop that little bastard named Charlie!"
"Haha, Uncle Long, don't worry! Even without a horse, I can still handle it!" As he said that, Liu Dong turned around, exerted force on his feet, and rushed out quickly.
"Hey, Liu Dong...!"
Watching Liu Dongyuan go away, the master didn't say anything. He knew that Liu Dong had kung fu and believed that even if he couldn't stop the mischievous dark horse, he wouldn't get hurt.
As he got closer, Liu Dong discovered that this black horse named "Charlie" was actually such a majestic horse. He was already tall among horses, with long limbs, strong muscles, and black hair that looked like it had been waxed.
The stars are shining in the sun, and the long mane is flying in the wind on the back of the neck. It is really like a celestial horse. It is so majestic and majestic that even Liu Dong has never ridden a horse.
I fell in love with it at first sight!
However, I don't know if the horse also fell in love with Liu Dong, or if it was simply avoiding Yan Chun who wanted to catch it, and actually ran towards Liu Dong.
"Liu Dong, get out of the way!"
Seeing Liu Dong standing in the direction of the black horse galloping and no longer moving, Yan Chun quickly shouted anxiously when he saw this scene.
"Xiaodong, get out of the way!" Uncle Long was also a little anxious.
Even if Liu Dong has martial arts, the impact of a fast-running horse is no less than that of a motorcycle with the accelerator accelerating. If he is hit head-on, he will be paralyzed even if he is not dead!
However, Liu Dong turned a deaf ear to the shouts of the two men and kept his eyes fixed on the big black horse charging towards him.
"Xiyuyu...!"
The big black horse saw Liu Dong, the challenger who dared to stop him, and after neighing, he rushed over even faster.
However, when he saw that it was still two meters away from him, Liu Dong suddenly turned around with his left foot and took a step back, almost squeezing the big black horse by a hair's breadth and dodging its impact.
However, Liu Dong took the risk of being hit not only because he wanted to avoid it, but also because he wanted to conquer these fierce horses that he loved so much.
By the way, you can also experience the real feeling of charging on horseback.
"Hey!"
The moment Liu Dong turned around, he let out a low cry, and the powerful force accumulated in his left leg burst out in an instant, pushing Liu Dong's body to jump more than one meter high in an almost instant. When he fell, his legs were already firm
He clamped the horse's back tightly, and his hands also tightly hugged the big black horse's neck.
Feeling the sudden extra weight on his body, the big black horse, which had never been ridden before, neighed angrily, and suddenly jumped high with its strong and powerful four hooves. After landing, it jumped up again. Again, trying to use
The violent jolt caused Liu Dong to fall off his back.
But Liu Dong's two legs were like growing on the back of a horse. No matter how they swayed, they would not move at all.
Seeing that this trick didn't work, the big black horse spread its hooves and galloped in the slightly undulating playground of the farm. With such lightning speed, it almost instantly left behind Yan Chun who had just caught up, and soon the surrounding people
The scenery receded sideways like lightning.
In less than ten seconds, the big black horse had already rushed out of Uncle Long's farm carrying Liu Dong and arrived at the farm on Uncle Long's right.
The farm mainly grows cash crops such as soybeans and American ginseng. It is certainly not as suitable for running around as a playground, but the speed of the big dark horse has not been reduced at all.
But as soon as it ran, I didn’t know how many crops were trampled.
But Liu Dong, who was already immersed in the excitement of riding a horse for the first time, could no longer care about this! (To be continued...)
