In the morning, Ju An practiced boxing in the space for a while, got the two well-fed little guys out of the space, let them play freely in front of the door, put a saddle on Doucao, and ran to the pasture.
After walking around for a while and saying hello to some busy cowboys, I returned home and went upstairs to pack a big basket of clothes.
I mentioned going downstairs and put it in the washing machine to start washing clothes. Ju An basically only washes clothes once every two weeks, and he has to wait until there is no clean clothes to change before he remembers that there is still a lot of clothes that have not been washed.
I poured a cup of tea, put it in a purple clay pot, sat on the sofa in the living room, and watched the news on TV while drinking tea.
At first, Ju'an was not very used to it. Old Americans wash clothes and dry them directly without sun-drying. It is said that in some states, it is illegal to dry clothes outside. For a period of time in the beginning, Ju'an felt that drying clothes
It feels weird when I wear it, I don’t feel it.
Sun-dried clothes are comfortable, but now I'm slowly getting used to them. It's simple and convenient. You can wear them after washing and drying them in a while. Ever since he had a cloakroom, Ju An never folded his clothes. He just hung them up after they were done.
It's very suitable for lazy people like Ju An.
I was watching the news. Some people are advocating low-carbon life. Some places are beginning to encourage people to dry their clothes. They say that it is environmentally friendly and saves energy, and the sun can also naturally disinfect clothes. What have you been doing so long ago? Who are you asking about?
People don’t know that the habit of drying clothes properly has been forced upon you, and now you have to break it again.
Are you tired of going back? Of course, there are people who hold up signs and object, thinking that hanging underwear and other things outside is uncivilized. Anyway, we are used to it. If the United States does not have a rally for three days or a parade for five days, then it will be idle.
It hurts, especially in some big cities. Even Ju'an suspects that some people rely on parades to survive, otherwise there will be no money to support themselves.
After watching the painful news for a while, I finished washing my clothes. I was just about to take the clothes upstairs to hang them up when I heard the sound of a car horn outside. I put down the clothes in my hands and walked out. I saw a pickup truck parked in the yard.
Looking at the white farm mark on the pickup truck, he knew that Lu Guangyuan was coming, and Ju An hurriedly greeted him.
"Why is it so early? I thought you wouldn't be able to come until noon. How early did you get up?" Ju An said loudly with a smile.
Lu Guangyuan got out of the car, closed the door and said: "There are still a lot of things to do at the farm, so I came here early and have to rush back soon. There are too many people visiting the farm during this time, and I am busy at home."
Several young men followed him and got out of the car. When Ju An took a look, he saw that they were all strong and handsome young men. Their skin was a little tanned and they looked like they often worked in the sun. They were also dressed like ordinary cowboys.
Shirt, jeans, Gao Bangzi’s leather boots
, the tallest one is actually over 1.9 meters, which is a lot taller than Ju An. The other two are about 1.7 meters, with silly smiles on their faces. Ju An fell in love with her at first glance.
These young men, at least they don't look slippery in appearance.
"The tall one is called Du Erzhuang, the one with the blue hat is called Li Dajun, and the other one is called Du Hu. They are from a village where my father went to work in the countryside at that time, and he is also from my hometown." Lu Guangyuan introduced
I waved to let a few people come over.
When Ju An was waiting for a few young men to come over, he patted Du Erzhuang's arm and said with a smile: "Good guy, this posture makes us Chinese look good. These arms are thick. How about your English? Can you understand it?"
"?"
Du Erzhuang smiled and touched the back of his head, not knowing what to say. Instead, the young man named Du Hu intervened and said: "Boss, we all understand. I have been working on a ranch in California for several years."
Lu Guangyuan looked on and said with a smile: "This guy is a tall guy who doesn't know how to speak. The original owner of their ranch sold the ranch, and the new owner is a bit racist. He doesn't like to hire people of color. He only likes to hire people of color."
Hire white people and find an excuse to drive them away."
When Ju An heard this, he understood. In fact, many people don't say racial discrimination, but it does exist, and the older the white people are, the worse it is. The reality in the United States is that if white people in many companies are not too different when recruiting, most of them will be replaced.
When recruiting white people, black people like to recruit black people. If I, a Chinese, were to recruit people, I would definitely be biased towards Chinese people, not to mention that the closeness that is engraved in my bones is not so easy to erase. Don’t look at old Americans.
A bunch of politicians are shouting about equality, but in fact there are very few people who are truly free from discrimination. Take us native Chinese as an example. A black girl and a white girl are both crying and want to marry you. Which one do you choose?
I guess most of them are white people. Let alone others, Ju An himself is not too fond of black girls. Wasn't it a joke before? After marrying a black girl, when the lights are turned off, all he sees is white teeth.
Ju An smiled and said: "Farewell, boss. When I heard the Chinese boss, I felt like a nouveau riche. Just call me Brother An. Since you have worked in the ranch, there must be no problem with riding horses. Let's go."
I'll take you to put your luggage first. You three
You will live in a house first. When the house over there is finished, you will have a room each after others move out. Then I will take you to the racecourse to choose a few horses. There are several pairs of saddles in the racecourse. You can take a look and choose the right one first.
Use it, if it’s suitable I’ll find a time to buy it.”
Li Dajun said: "Brother An, we are bringing our own saddles." After saying that, the three young men went to the bed of the pickup truck and took out their own saddles. When Ju An took a look, they were all very beautiful.
A handmade saddle with old carvings on it
The eagle is like a galloping horse. It has a shiny silver buckle and a thick pile head. It is definitely a high-quality ranch saddle: "Drink! It's a good saddle. I must have spent a lot of money when I bought it." Take a look.
The wear marks on the saddle indicate that it was used frequently.
Du Erzhuang nodded and replied with a smile: "We just arrived in California. In addition to sending money to mail home, we saved a few months before each bought a pair of saddles. They have been using them for several years." After that, the young man started from behind.
Douli each brought over a large canvas bag, almost half the height of a person.
Seeing that Ju An was about to take the three young men to arrange accommodation, Lu Guangyuan became anxious: "I said you three bastards, don't leave in a hurry. Please unload the pumpkins from the car."
The three guys happily put the big bag on their shoulders and the saddle under their arms on the ground, and walked back to the pickup truck with a smile. Li Dajun also said with a smile: "Uncle Xiao Qi, don't get angry.
, we will move it for you right now!”.
Lu Guangyuan smiled and scolded: "You bastard, Uncle Qi is Uncle Qi, why do you have a small character in front of it?" He followed up with a gesture to kick Li Dajun in the butt.
When Ju An leaned his head and looked into the bed of the truck, he saw, my dear, there were twenty or thirty large golden orange pumpkins, each weighing thirty or forty kilograms, and they were all round in appearance.
It's very good. In addition, there are winter melons, some mushrooms, a large stall of celery, and even dozens of corn cobs with peeled skins tied together. Ju An's eyes almost popped out when he saw them.
.
Ju An said: "You can just bring a few. I am alone now. Even if I eat these things every meal, it will probably be late for Christmas."
Lu Guangyuan said with a smile: "Your two old people haven't come back yet? I'm going to meet you this time. These big pumpkins are not just for you to eat. Isn't it almost Halloween? You can carve more pumpkin lanterns by then."
Isn’t that the end? I’ll put some more in front of the door. It’ll look good.
"It's here, why don't you go buy it? Celery is also grown at home. Don't you like to eat celery dumplings? Your sister-in-law specially asked me to bring them. The corn cobs are tender and can be eaten after being boiled."
While talking, he kept urging the three young men to work.
Ju An shook his head and thought to himself, just put two words at the door and it would be over. Besides, who can bear to eat pumpkins and gnaw corn on the cob every day? It seems that some of these singing things have to be given away.
He directed a few young men to place the pumpkins under the porch of the house, then put the celery, corn cobs and other things in the kitchen, took the key, and then led the three young men to the door of a house and opened the door.
The door is basically the same as old Thomas's room, with one bedroom, a shower room, and a small living room.
Seeing the three young men putting down their things, Ju An said: "You three will take up the time for a few days."
Yesterday, Ju An talked to Old Thomas and suggested that the three young men from China should not be arranged to go to the east, but directly to his side. After all, this side is slightly more convenient than the east. Old Thomas
He also nodded and agreed, so that these young men would not have to mix with Spanish-speaking Chileans. At that time, except for Lawrence and Andrew, all the Chileans in the east would be hired.
After the three young men had tidied up a little, Ju An took the three of them to the pasture where the horses were scattered. The three guys each picked a horse. They will use these horses from now on. Of course, the horses will be taken care of every day.
, such as brushing the horse, buckling the hoof, except sometimes changing the horseshoe, they basically have to do the horse themselves. The ranch requires every cowboy to be a generalist, not only herding, but also the cowboys must be able to see simple cow diseases.
.
The four of them harnessed their horses, and Ju An asked Lu Guangyuan to wait under the gallery for a while, and then he led three Chinese young men towards the construction site east of the ranch where Thomas was staying. When they arrived at the construction site, they saw a ten-meter-long, ten-meter-long horse.
Several large-wheeled flatbed cranes were parked next to the construction site, and Lawrence was directing
The crane driver was unloading things below. After introducing the three people to Thomas, Ju An watched for a while. Thomas chatted with the three young men for a few words, and then the three men took off the saddles from the horses and let the horses
Grazing freely, he picked up tools and unpacked the large packaging boxes one by one.
