When Ju An got up in the morning, Wu Song also got up. Wu Song's small bed was a leather hammock that Huai En woven from cowhide. He cut the cowhide into finger-width leather strips and then criss-crossed them. After the entire hammock was completed, it
There was a circle of leather tassels left around the edges, and the whole thing was very beautiful. Even my mother praised Wynn for his ingenuity.
Ju An was very satisfied with the work of Old Thomas and his family and Nancy. Most of them were the kind who had no work to do. When Old Thomas was free, he would patrol the pastures and look at the poultry houses, cattle and sheep. Now he almost every day
Old Thomas can talk about a cow. Whenever Andrew and Wynn are free during the day, they will weave some nooses in the warehouse, and even make some water reins by themselves. Looking at what is missing in the pasture, they will hand
There will be some kind of work being done, and Nancy takes good care of each sheep. During the day, she will also help with cutting some cowhide and other tasks. The most leisurely person in the entire ranch is Ju An, which makes Ju An very satisfied.
, when the wages are paid, each person will get an extra three to four hundred dollars.
After getting up, one person and one monkey brushed their teeth, had breakfast, and then went straight to the greenhouse, pulled out two carrots and handed them to Wu Song. Wu Song quickly swung in the pool twice, and then Ju An put his hands behind his back in front of him.
When leaving, Wu Song followed behind with two carrots. Once his mother saw him and commented on Ju An, saying that Ju An was like a small village cadre, so Wu Song followed him like a dog-legger, making his sister laugh at him for several days.
When we arrived at Ma Gai, we let out the bean grass and Xuehua. They brushed the horses and buckled their hooves according to the old rules. Bean grass had a bad temper. Wu Song fed carrots every day, and the bean grass was eaten in his mouth, but he didn't want to see Wu Song. Only Xuehua had a good temper.
, let Wu Song jump on the back, take a brush and brush the back hair. Once Wu Song gets on the back of the bean grass, he will definitely jump and bite, and there will be no time for peace.
Brush the horse, put on the saddle, and prepare to go for two laps. On the first day after returning from Ju'an, after discovering Wu Song's talent for horse riding, he put on two sets of saddles every day. Wu Song can ride Snowflake, and Wu Song is a standard unbridled horse.
When riding a horse, you only need to tie Xuehua's reins to the stigma, and Wu Song can control Snowflake by shouting. Although Wu Song is on the saddle, holding the stigma with his upper limbs and squatting on it, his posture is not beautiful, but it is undeniable that he can sit steadily.
Ah, the balance thief is good.
As soon as I got on the bean grass, after riding for a while, I saw my father, brother-in-law and sister returning from the morning ride together. In front of my father's horse was my well-behaved grandson Ran Ran, and my sister was sitting in front of the horse with her calves dangling.
The skin of the monkey is glowing.
Ran Ran saw Ju An waving and said obediently: "Good morning, uncle."
Before Ju An could reply, Wu Song stood on Xue Hua's back, and also imitated Ran Ran in waving, making two squeaks.
As soon as Tongtong saw Ju An, she rubbed her red face with her hands and said, "My uncle and Wu Song are lazy idiots. They got up so late, even later than Tongtong."
Ju An shook his head: "My uncle is not only lazy, but also has a bad memory. He might go to the supermarket in town and forget the ice cream or something. That's hard to say."
Tongtong immediately puffed up her cheeks and said, "Uncle, you're a bad guy."
Dad ignored all this and said to Ju An: "Didn't Thomas say that we have to cut the grass today and save it for winter? Let's go and see what happens when we start."
Ju An said: "It will take a while until they have settled the cattle before we can start, and we have to check the tractor first."
After his father finished speaking, he urged the horse forward. His sister and brother-in-law also smiled and rode their horses to follow his father. As they walked past, Tongtong even made a face at Ju An.
After riding a horse for a while, my whole body felt hot. Then I came back, took off the saddles of Xue Hua and Bean Cao, and put the two guys into the group of horses to move around freely.
When I arrived at the warehouse, I found that Old Thomas had moved the tractor out and was reversing the truck.
My father, brother-in-law, and Andrew were working hard to move the big lawnmower, which was nearly six meters wide. Fortunately, this big thing also had seven or eight wheels. If it hadn't been for these three people, it would have been impossible to move it.
Tou and Suantou were following Ran Ran and Tongtong with their tails wagging, holding something in their mouths on the ground from time to time. When they went over to take a look, the two little guys were chewing a beef bun in their hands. They saw Ran Ran holding a piece and a half.
The fat beef was bitten off and spit out on the ground, where it was picked up by the tiger's head and chewed.
Ju An quickly went up and held the handle, and the four of them worked together to move the lawn mower sideways. Then, they waited for Thomas the Elder to move the tractor over.
Andrew signaled everyone to disperse, and then directed Old Thomas to reverse the tractor. After the tractor was in a good position, Old Thomas jumped off the tractor, helped everyone pull the buckle of the lawn mower, and hung it on the tow hook at the back of the tractor.
After hooking up, connect several thick control cables on the lawn mower to the tractor's cab.
When everything was ready, just as he was about to set off, he saw old Taylor driving Jerry and Emily over in his dilapidated Toyota pickup truck.
After putting the two little guys down, Taylor chatted for a few words and then said goodbye to everyone. It turned out that his pasture had also begun to prepare forage for the winter, and they had been mowing it for two days.
Ju An, his brother-in-law, and Andrew all drove four-wheelers this time, and several little guys clamored to follow. Finally, old Thomas put them all into the cab of the tractor and sat on the large covers of the two rear wheels.
Fortunately, it was a big tractor with wheels similar to those of an adult, otherwise it couldn't fit these little guys.
The group of people took garlic and tiger heads and drove for a long time before arriving at the pasture selected by Old Thomas. There was a large area of relatively flat pasture. The grass was growing rapidly. Needless to say, the grass produced by the space must be good.
Old Thomas listened to the tractor and picked up the little guys one by one. Ju An and his group also stopped the four-wheel motorcycle. The little guy immediately ran onto the four-wheeler and started playing on it, while Tiger Head and Garlic Head surrounded the four-wheeler.
The wheel goes around in a circle.
Thomas drove the tractor and tried mowing a few times. Then Andrew adjusted the height of the mowing grass and then started mowing. There was basically nothing to do with the other people.
Ju An walked to the cut grass and took a closer look. The cut grass was neatly placed in the middle, toward a row of straw mats. Andrew followed, picked up a piece of grass and said, "A little dry."
You can use a baler to bundle them into a ball at a certain point, and then wait for them to dry in the shade before putting them in the barn."
Ju An asked: "How much are we going to cut?"
Andrew pointed to this large piece of grass and said: "There is another similar area in this area. Basically, mow back and forth three or four times in each area. Use more storage points to be prepared."
While they were chatting, they suddenly heard Little Jerry yelling: "Rabbit!".
As soon as Ju An turned around, he saw a gray rabbit emerging from the grass. When he saw it, old Thomas driving the tractor had already turned back.
When Jerry shouted, Hutou and Garlic had already rushed forward, and the two dogs chased the rabbit. Four little guys also got off the four-wheeler to cheer for Hutou and Garlic.
After a while, the little rabbit was picked up by the garlic and thrown at Ju An's feet. Ju An picked up the rabbit and saw that even the skin was not bitten, but the whole head was drooped, probably because of being bitten.
Garlic bit him and broke his neck. He touched Garlic's head and praised him, then handed the rabbit to Ran Ran: "Cheer up and catch a few. Let grandma make braised rabbit meat for you tonight."
The little guys immediately became energetic. They stood on the four-wheeled motorcycle together and stretched out their necks, looking around. Even Wu Song followed suit and opened his head. When Ju An saw it, they looked like a few prairie dogs sniffing out the wind from their holes.
After Andrew replaced Thomas and went up and cut a few times, Ju An, his brother-in-law and his father also tried to go up and cut a few times.
At noon, my sister drove a four-wheel drive and brought everyone lunch, which was two pots of hot coffee and tea, then a large pot of beef stew, and more than twenty small cakes. Old Thomas and the others also like it now
After serving this Chinese-style meal, the warm pancakes are sandwiched with the fragrant and juicy braised beef. It tastes so delicious.
After lunch, we continued to work. The little guys brought tiger heads and garlic heads and caught two more rabbits and even a wild duck that ran away from nowhere.
After watching for a while, old Thomas took the wild ducks and a few killed rabbits to the meeting. He packed up and prepared for the teething ceremony in the evening. When he left, he told a few little guys that these things were enough for the night. Don't let the tigers eat them again.
Tou and Guan Tou are chasing animals.
While Ju An was watching his father mowing the grass on the tractor, he suddenly heard Jerry yelling: "Look, red-tailed hawk." When Ju An looked up, he saw two white dots circling in the sky.
When Ju An comes here, he often sees eagles. The most common one is the bald eagle, which is the national bird of the United States. He also sees a golden eagle. From time to time, he will see one in the sky. The eagle is circling, so there are chicken coops and so on.
They have to be watched with dogs to guard against these guys.
As for the red-tailed hawk that Little Jerry called out, this was the first time I saw it. I saw two white spots crossing and circling. One suddenly swooped down, then flew up again, and then flew away.
As for what it looked like, Ju An didn't see clearly at all. After asking Jerry, he learned that red-tailed hawks usually appear in pairs, with white bodies with black spots, a red-yellow tail, and some redness on the chest.
It's a pity that Andrew didn't bring the telescope with him. If it weren't for Ju An, he could have seen its true appearance.
When we returned home from work in the evening, the fragrant braised rabbit meat, the roasted rabbit that Thomas specially showed off, and the roasted duck cubes with potatoes made everyone feel very comfortable. Dad also said with a nostalgic sigh, "It's been a long time."
I have eaten wild rabbit meat. When I was a child, I often saw wild rabbits, but now they are gone. Some of them are domesticated rabbits. They don’t taste good.
