Melika thought for a moment and said, "It's not cost-effective."
"How do you know it's not cost-effective?" Zhang Chi was a little confused.
Melika said: "You think I don't know the price difference between the two machines? I have a horse farm in China. If I didn't know these things, I would have been cheated out of 250."
"Anyone else dares to trick you?" Zhang Chi was a little surprised.
Melika said: "Why not? We used to be very good friends. This is a long story to say. In the past, besides me and Duan Shuyi, there was another good friend...".
After Zhang Chi heard what Melika said, he sighed with emotion. Melika's story is really ordinary. It's just that a few friends started a company together, and one of them was from an average family background. Originally, everyone thought that he should be allowed to manage it.
The company does not contribute money, but you can contribute efforts.
This is nothing at first. Everyone has agreed on their division of labor in advance and just goes as agreed.
But people's hearts are like this, and they won't be satisfied. The person felt that he contributed the most but earned the least, completely forgetting that he was just a freshly graduated college student, and he just sat in the position of general manager with nothing, so he started to do something.
Small actions.
Melika and Zhao Yue were not used to it, so they all broke up and finally sent this person to squat in the cell.
"Sometimes I still wonder if I did it then," Melika said.
Zhang Chi opened his mouth and said: "Actually, it's not true at all. People who can reach out will not feel that they are at fault. The faults are all other people's. If you let him go, he will not be grateful to you. He will still feel that you are unkind. But
The company has company rules, society has social rules, and the law also has legal rules.
You have to understand that it was not you who ruined his life, but he himself ruined his life, which has nothing to do with you.
If there is a relationship, it's because you didn't clarify the relationship at the beginning, who is the boss and who is the worker, so you mixed these things together.
This is why when you do business with friends, it is easy to have conflicts whether it is successful or not, because your personal feelings are mixed in from the very beginning of doing business.
Last year Brother Xiao Wu also asked me to do the film business, but I quit because I was afraid that he and I would have conflicts over money in the future."
Zhang Chi didn't think that Melika had done anything wrong. Most people in society only remember what they didn't get and forget why they wanted it.
It's like Zhang Chi saw an interview with a businessman. The businessman told the camera how humble he was when he borrowed money for the first time. He invited people to dinner and whispered to others. It seemed that he was the victim.
It seems like a great grievance.
He never thought about how his current life would be without the first loan from someone else.
He only thought about all the misfortunes he suffered when he borrowed money, but he didn't think about the fact that others took risks to lend you money. This is kindness. You can't make money. When talking about this, if you don't remember the kindness of the person, you will remember the suffering you suffered.
You're wronged. As long as they don't let you sacrifice your wife, you have such a grievance.
So sometimes you obviously do good things, but others won't appreciate you because they only remember all the humiliations they made when they were in trouble, and they don't even think about how you took the risk to help them.
This is not an individual problem, it is human nature, and most people are like this.
After hearing Zhang Chi's words, Melika looked at Zhang Chi with wide eyes, as if she couldn't believe that these words came from Zhang Chi's mouth.
"I didn't expect you to say these words," Melika said.
How could Melika not understand this? She said she felt a little regretful, but in fact it was just a casual comment. How could she leave room for someone who cheated her out of her money?
To be honest, the competition between Melika and her cousins, or even siblings, is much more cruel than this.
In a big family, choosing the heir or the helm is almost emotionless.
Because everyone knows that it is okay for you to be pampered at home, but in society, when you face your opponents, your opponents will not pamper you at all. Not only will they not pamper you, they may use any tricks against you.
Without a good psychological quality, it can be said to be a disaster for the family if you take the helm.
So Melika thought it was okay for her to understand, but seeing Zhang Chi, who was a bit heartless, also understand, she felt it was a bit too much.
Zhang Chi smiled faintly after hearing this: "What's not easy to understand? You also know that I have followed my uncle to come to the United States to seek life since I was a child. When I came here, my dad told me that he asked me to remember that my uncle is an uncle.
, he is not my father, don’t take everything my uncle has done for me for granted.
I remembered these words, so I still get along very well with my aunt and uncle’s family.
Only when there is a sense of propriety between people can friendship last long.
A nephew who came later than me, he couldn't tell the difference. He felt that Brother Dawen and Brother Xiaowu had something, and he should also have something. He slept until he woke up naturally and wasted his time at work. This was
People of this kind are very disgusting, so he didn’t stay at his uncle’s and his mother-in-law’s house for long before he was sent back by his mother-in-law.”
Thinking of that boy, Zhang Chi suddenly wanted to know how this man was doing now.
But this idea just popped up at once, and it just came to mind.
"Why did the conversation end up like this?" Merica smiled and changed the topic: "Should we go mow the grass?"
Zhang Chi lowered his head and looked at his watch: "We have about ten minutes to change shifts."
Merica also looked at her watch: "They have been working for a long time. Let's go and replace them early. We have agreed beforehand that I will drive the harvester and pick up the straw bales behind me."
"I have no objection," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
What does Zhang Chi have to say? Melika is just his girlfriend, so it’s good to be able to ask for work. If it were those little fairies in China, if you did it to death, they would only think that you make less money.
Let them think of doing some work for you in the next life.
After the two of them finished speaking, they each rode a four-wheel motorcycle in the direction of the tractor.
When we arrived at the place, it was a coincidence that Brian had just packed a truck and was about to transport it back to the hay house.
Zhang Chi saw it and asked, "Don't you put it in the hay house before drying it?"
Brian clapped his hands at this time, jumped off the hand tractor, and then took off his gloves: "Cannon said, transport these materials to the forage warehouse to dry. If you put them in the pasture, they will suppress the grass below."
Zhang Chi thought about it and realized that what Cannon said was right.
Brian carried the cart of hay back, and Zhang Chi also jumped into the car. The two of them arrived at the fodder warehouse, got out of the car, unloaded the bales of straw from the cart, and arranged them neatly. Then Zhang Chi drove the walking tractor to the big farm.
Go to the tractor.
When they arrived at the place, Melika had already sat in the cab seriously and started mowing the grass.
Merica's skills were good, and her lawn mowing skills were much better than Zhang Chi's. Zhang Chi drove the tractor and looked at it for a while, and found that what Merica cut was a straight line, almost as long as a lawn mower.
Width, Merica will cut it according to the width of the edge.
Zhang Chi's job is also very simple. He just cuts the grass into bundles, throws them into the back bucket of the walking tractor, and stacks them neatly until the back bucket can no longer fit, then transports the bales to the side of the forage warehouse to dry in the sun.
After it dries, it is transported to a fodder warehouse and stacked, waiting to be sold or fed to cattle over the winter.
After working for more than an hour, Zhang Chiyuncao came back with a cup of coffee and a pot of tea, and motioned to Melika to stop the tractor.
"What's up?"
Melika stopped the tractor, opened the door, stuck out her head and shouted to Zhang Chi next to her.
Zhang Chi raised the thing in his hand and said, "Take a rest, drink something, and we'll do it again later."
"good!"
Melika turned off the engine and got off the tractor.
Zhang Chi and Melika sat directly on the back of the walking tractor, placing tea and coffee between them, drinking tea and chatting while admiring the scenery of the ranch.
At this time, the back bucket of the tractor was already filled with more than half of the straw bales, and the two of them could just lean on each other or even lie down.
Zhang Chi is like this now, taking two sips of tea, lying on the straw bale, clasping his hands behind his head and looking at the sky above his head.
The sky is blue, and there are some small clouds. These small clouds have different shapes, and some of them look like small animals or people, which look particularly interesting.
Melika drank half a cup of coffee, and seeing Zhang Chi's comfortable appearance, she also lay down.
"What are you looking at?"
Zhang Chi took out his hand, pointed at a cloud in the sky, and said to Melika: "Look at that cloud, does it look like ink?"
Melika looked at it: "What's the similarity?"
Melika really didn't notice it, because the clouds were like strips, which were more like cotton candy in her eyes.
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "Isn't this what the ink looks like when lying in strips? Look, there are eyes over there, and there are airplane ears over there."
Hearing what Zhang Chi said, Melika smiled: "It's true, when you said that, it really sounds like it."
"That one looks like a piece of pizza." Zhang Chi pointed at the clouds next to him.
Melika laughed and said, "That won't mean eating pizza with ink, hahaha."
"Well, ink seems to eat everything." Zhang Chi also laughed.
"What does that look like to you?" Melica pointed at the largest cloud in the sky.
Zhang Chi didn't see it, but he looked at it very carefully, and he imagined countless shapes in his head and put them together. Unfortunately, even though he put together many of them, he couldn't get the right number.
"I can't think of it," Zhang Chi said.
Melika also said: "I can't think of it either."
So the two of them said nothing and began to think about what this cloud looked like.
For five or six minutes, neither of them said a word. They just lay on the straw bales in the carriage, looking up at the sky together.
Zhang Chi was thinking desperately about the clouds, but Melika soon became emotional. It had been a long time since she had looked at the sky so relaxedly.
When she was a little girl, she especially liked to lie on the grass in the pasture and look at the sky above her. However, as she grew older, she had more and more things on her mind. She was busy a lot of the time, busy learning, and busy.
About business matters.
Even when she was resting, she would think of the company's situation from time to time, and she no longer had the time or mood to appreciate the blue sky and white clouds above her head.
But today, a sense of relaxation returned. She could look at the sky calmly and untiringly, like a carefree bird.
"Zhang Chi".
"Hmm!" Zhang Chi made a hum from his nose.
Melika said carelessly: "It's so good now."
"Um!"
Zhang Chi chuckled lightly: "That's great, but the eagle above my head is a bit annoying. Maybe these guys are thinking about the chickens raised in my pasture again."
After hearing this, Melika searched the sky with her eyes, and sure enough she found two black figures in the southwest corner. Judging from the way they flew, they must be eagles.
