When I got on the plane from New York in the morning, it was still sunny, but when I arrived in Lewistown, it started to rain lightly. It hadn’t rained in Montana for so many days. I just came back from New York today and encountered a light rain. I stood at the gate of the airport.
, I kind of regretted that I didn’t ask Old Thomas to pick me up at the airport. My plan in New York a few days ago was to take a taxi after leaving the airport and then go to the dealer where I bought my car for the first time and order one by myself over the phone.
A GMC has arrived at the store. I ordered a GMC because of its large space. One car can seat eight adults. It will not be like the last time when Thomas came to pick up the airport, he had to drive two cars before he could sit down.
A family.
Ju An waited at the airport exit for a while, but didn't see a taxi. Lewistown has a small population, and there are basically few taxis. It's fine on a sunny day, and you can basically see it. It's raining this time, just like in Jiangnan in China.
There is no taxi available.
Ju An was about to turn around and go to the hall to get an umbrella. At this time, a car parked in front of Ju An. A white man in his forties stuck out his head and said, "Hey! Friends, do you want a ride? The weather is bad."
It’s easy to wait for a taxi and I’ll take you there if it’s not far away.”
Ju An said, "Thank you then. I'll go to the car dealership in town." He opened the car door and got in. When he got into the car, he discovered that there was a man sitting in the passenger seat of the car.
A ten-year-old blonde girl.
The girl was looking at Wu Song on Ju An's shoulder with surprise on her face.
Ju An sat down, closed the car door, and heard the white man introduce: "My name is Henry, and I happened to pick up my daughter Lucy today. She just came back from traveling. In fact, if you stand at the door and make a hitchhiking gesture, everyone will do it.
Let me tell you something, you may have just arrived and are not familiar with it yet.”
Ju An smiled and said, "My name is An. This is the first time I encounter this kind of situation. I will know better next time." In fact, when he first came here, Ju An knew that the people here are actually similar to most rural people in China.
The people are also very enthusiastic, not as cold as in big cities. I don't want to hitchhike. Maybe it's Ju An's conditioned reflex after living in the city for too long.
Then he said to Lucy: "Do you want to hug it? It's very well-behaved and won't catch anyone."
Lucy said happily: "Is that okay?".
Ju An smiled and said, "Of course." He lifted Wu Song off his shoulders and handed it to Lucy in front of him. Wu Song squeaked twice and seemed unhappy.
Ju An silently despised Wu Song in his heart: He didn't wink at all. It's all for nothing. We took someone else's car and you let someone touch it for a while. Where did his cleverness go at this critical moment?
Ignoring Wu Song in Lucy's arms, he started talking to Henry.
It took about ten minutes to reach the sales store in the town. After getting off the car, I thanked Henry and his daughter again.
When they entered the store, the white-bearded shop owner had already greeted him: "An, long time no see. The car you want has arrived. Come and take a look."
After saying that, he took Ju An and walked over to a big car with a black body and shiny chrome-plated metal face with the words GMC written in red.
I opened the car door, got in and drove around. I found nothing wrong, so I paid the car payment and insurance.
When I returned to the pasture, I found Nancy wearing rain gear, driving a small four-wheeler, and towing a small car behind. There was a lot of hay on the car, and she was transporting it to the barn. When I asked, I found out that Nancy had already put the hay into the barn.
The sheep were all driven into the barn.
Ju An asked where Thomas and the others were, and Nancy said they were taking care of the cattle there.
Ju An parked the car into the warehouse, then dragged his suitcase into the house. When he entered the house, he found four little guys eating ice cream on the sofa and watching TV.
When the little guy found Wu Song on Ju An's shoulder, he immediately burst into tears and wanted to come over to hug Wu Song. Unexpectedly, Wu Song was startled and immediately jumped onto the big chandelier on the roof, squeaking and baring his teeth. Obviously.
I was shocked by the enthusiasm of the little guys.
My mother saw a monkey and complained: "What are you bringing home? What if you bring a monkey back and scratch the children?"
Ju An had no choice but to say to his mother: "This monkey doesn't scratch people and is very obedient."
My mother curled her lips and said, "Don't think your mother is easy to fool. There are monkeys in this world who won't scratch people." Then she said to the little guys, "Sit down, eat ice cream, and don't touch the monkeys."
Watching the little ones sitting on the sofa obediently, holding ice cream in their hands and digging into their mouths, their eyes were still staring at Wu Song on the chandelier.
Ju An called Wu Song, and Wu Song got down from the chandelier, squatted on Ju An's shoulder, took a cherry tomato from the table, put it into Wu Song's hand, and put Wu Song on the sofa. The little guys
They immediately gathered around him. If it weren't for Ju An holding him, Wu Song might have run away. He comforted Wu Song and said, "Sit down, don't come around. You're scaring Wu Song. Take turns holding each one, don't feed him."
Ice cream, feed fruit."
Then he put Wu Song into Xiao Jerry's arms. Wu Song struggled a few times at first. After Ran Ran got Wu Song a cherry, he calmed down. After he had just finished chewing one cherry, someone brought another one.
He completely succumbed to the delicious food and gradually became friendly with the four little guys.
The mother beside her also put away her worries: "This little monkey is really good."
Ju An then said to his mother: "I'm going to take a look at the cows in the pasture. Mom, please be careful not to let these little guys get into trouble."
After saying that, he walked to the door and put on his high riding boots, a cowboy hat, a raincoat, and went out.
When he walked to the stable, he found that the other horses were quietly grazing in the small cubicle, but Doucao came out of the small cubicle and walked back and forth in the passage of the stable. When he saw Ju An, he immediately raised his head.
He snorted his head and trotted towards Ju An.
Then he rubbed Ju An's back affectionately with his big head, patted Doucao's neck gently, combed Doucao's long mane with his hands, hugged his big head and said, I'm back.
, Miss me no bean grass.
Then he said to Beancao: "Come on, let's go out."
Taking Doucao with him, he walked to the door of the stable, put water on Doucao, tied the reins, put on the sweat pad, put on the saddle, and tightened the girdle. Doucao became excited. Thinking of the rain, he gave Doucao
A triangular chest strap was added.
Then he stepped on Doucao. Doucao raised his front hooves and jumped up, then rushed into the rain curtain.
Astride the back of Doucao, feeling the excitement of Doucao below, the depression brought by New York is swept away, listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the cowboy hat, and the click of Doucao stepping on the rain ground.
The sound made my chest feel comfortable again.
Doucao ran with all his strength, and it didn't take long before he saw Thomas and the others. The three of them were all wearing rain gear and sitting on their respective horses. The cattle had already taken shelter in a small forest to take shelter from the rain, and several cattle dogs followed suit.
In the woods.
Seeing Ju An coming, Old Thomas smiled and said, "You're back? It's been a long time since you went to New York this time."
Ju An said with a smile: "Some things have been delayed, so I'll be fine no matter what."
Andrew said: "Boss, don't worry, everything is fine with the cows. A new calf may be born in a few days."
"Oh, which end?" Ju An asked happily.
"That end, the one under the red maple tree, the one with its head raised," Andrew said, pointing to a cow.
Ju An looked at the three guys who were covered in rainwater and said: "If you are not busy, let's change someone to go inside and rest. By the way, I'd like to ask if it's okay to leave the cows outside like this."
Old Thomas smiled and said: "An, cattle are not so precious. The pastures where they are raised are like this. Even in winter, they are outside the house. When there is no pasture, they go into the animal pen and feed feed..."
Ju An smiled and said, "I'm relieved then. I saw Nancy had driven all the sheep into the barn, and thought the cows would also have to find a place to put them."
Wynn smoked the cigarette in his hand and said with a smile: "Nancy is so precious to her flock of sheep. In fact, there is no problem at all if they are left outside. This little rain is nothing, and it won't rain for long depending on the weather. It will probably fall in the afternoon."
I can see the sun."
Ju An said, "I'll take care of you for a while. You go inside to have a cup of coffee or something to warm yourself up."
Andrew smiled and said: "No, this little rain is nothing. If anyone wants to drink something, we will go there. In fact, just watch it for a while now. It is much easier than the pasture where I worked before.
It’s time to divert water and so on. I feel like everyone is living a comfortable life here, and this is the first time I’ve seen such a good pasture. In the past, the pasture was looking forward to rain, which would bring enough rain to the pasture.
Now I feel nothing. The pasture where I stayed in the past has not rained these days, and I have to spend a lot of time to divert water every day. Now I just look at the cattle, and it is much more relaxed."
Wynn also smiled and said: "Sometimes I feel more like I am on a vacation ranch."
A few people chatted animatedly in the rain for a while, and then Ju An rode his horse to see the geese and ducks by the pond. Old Thomas happened to want to see them too, so they went together, leaving Wynn and Andrew to continue watching.
with cattle.
By the time the two men rode their horses and trotted all the way to the pond, the geese and ducks had already hid in the shed.
When Pi Dan and another dog saw Ju An, they came up to him happily. They jumped off their horses and rubbed the heads of the two guys. They found that neither of them got wet. They were obviously treated better than the others who were watching the herd.
The dog was much happier. When he walked to the poultry house, he discovered that there was a small slope set up on one side. The two guys must have been hiding in it to avoid the rain.
Thomas also returned to the house, made a pot of hot coffee and took it with him, and then went out again. When he returned Bean Grass to the stable, he helped wipe the rain off Bean Grass's body to prevent anything from happening.
When illness comes, bean grass is always more precious than others in Ju An's mind.
