Zhang Chi was not originally prepared to watch the fun, but Lao Xu stretched his head and kept asking.
"What's going on over there? Let's take a look." Lao Xu scratched the back of the chair behind Zhang Chi, and from time to time stretched out his hand to pat Zhang Chi's shoulder, looking like a meddlesome person.
Zhang Chi said: "Is there anything good to see? Someone bought something new, or something else."
In fact, this is almost nonsense. If you think about it carefully, it means you didn’t say it at all.
"It's as if you didn't say anything, stop and let me take a look," Lao Xu said.
Zhang Chi then parked the car on the side of the road, near the corner of the bar. There was an open space here. It was said that it was an open space and it had an owner. It was said that there was an owner but no one was taking care of it.
Anyway, that's the thing. This land is public and belongs to the state government. It was originally requisitioned when building roads, but later this land was not fully used, so it became a long grassland.
I guess the state government has almost forgotten that there is such a piece of land in this place.
The area is not large, only about an acre, and the larger area is limited. But you can't occupy it. If you occupy state property, then cleaning it up is like playing around. You can occupy land that has not been used for many years, how much
You can blacklist a house that you haven't lived in for years, but there is no such thing here in the state where you live it. No matter how many years it is, this place is named after the state. If you take it away, someone will naturally make you unhappy.
So this land is now covered with grass, and is sometimes used for tethering horses and parking for cowboys. Anyway, it is shared, so as long as you don't zone it into your pasture, you can use it in any way.
Now there are several horses on this land that the cowboys rode over.
The horse is eating weeds here, and its owner has already gone to join in the fun.
As soon as the car stopped, Lao Xu made a whoosh sound and disappeared.
Zhang Chi turned to Melika and asked, "Shall we go and have a look too?"
Melika shook her head gently: "You go ahead, I'll lie down and rest for a while, I feel a little tired."
Zhang Chi said: "Still tired?"
Zhang Chi thought to himself that he had already checked everything. Why are you tired again if nothing happened?
However, Zhang Chi did not question, but helped her adjust her seat so that she could lie down slightly, which would be more comfortable.
"You can go and see the excitement if you want, but don't look too long. You'll be back in five or six minutes at most. I want to go back and take a nap," Melika said thoughtfully.
Zhang Chi thought for a moment and said: "Forget it, what's so exciting about it?"
Zhang Chi didn't really want to go, but now that the atmosphere has reached this point, the cars have stopped and he still feels a little stupid if he doesn't go take a look.
"Go ahead, I'll be fine if you wait here for a while." Melika reached out and gently pressed Zhang Chi's arm, and smiled at Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi then nodded: "I'll be right back."
After saying that, he opened the car door and got out of the car, walking towards the crowd.
When he got to the crowd, he stood on tiptoe and looked inside, but couldn't see anything, so Zhang Chi simply stood on the horse railing nearby.
Now that the height was high enough, Zhang Chi could also see the scene among the crowd.
After seeing it, Zhang Chi began to cry out in his heart: I, Nima, is this such a coincidence?
There was another herd of cattle in the crowd, either other cattle or the cattle lost by Zhang Chi, but the number was not large, about fifty or sixty.
However, although the number is not large, it still adds to the conversation of the onlookers around.
Zhang Chi slid down from the horse railing and came to the crowd. He grabbed a cowboy who often came to the bar to drink and asked.
"What's going on? Someone picked up a cow again?" Zhang Chi asked.
The man smiled and said, "Isn't it? Yesterday, the guest of your ranch picked up a herd of cows, and this morning old Harvey's family picked up another herd, but this herd of cattle is inferior to the one picked up by your guest."
The cowboy told Zhang Chi what he knew about the situation.
Zhang Chi naturally knows what is going on with the cattle that he herds. Small groups like this are generally not very good, because the cattle in the herd are also divided into three, six, and nine grades. Cows will also bully cows. If you
If you are from outside or are relatively weak, you are likely to be bullied by your peers.
Bullied bulls are actually just like humans. Their personalities are not very gregarious, they always like to be alone, and most of the time they gather in small groups.
It was just such a herd of cattle that old Harvey's family found.
The physique is slightly worse, but this slight difference is compared to the group of cows that Lao Xu picked up yesterday. It’s not that these cows are good, but that there are tall cows and fat ones. In short, cows also eat grass.
But some are fat and some are thin, this is normal.
"I guess I have to go into the mountains to find cattle."
The cowboy said sighingly to Zhang Chi.
Once someone picked up a herd of cattle, that was it. Now two families in a small town actually found a herd of bison, which made the cowboy a little moved.
For cowboys, going into the mountains to look for cattle is risky. What risk? The risk of losing your job!
Ranchers are not philanthropists. They look for cowboys to work. You suddenly throw away the work you are doing and say you want to go into the mountains to find cows? Who will do the ranch work? Who will do the cow shit?
shovel?
After not shoveling cow dung for a few days, the smell of dung spreads in the pasture. The smell is really close to the place, and the faint smell of dung is spreading in the air.
Moreover, this smell is very attractive to flies. If the whole pasture is filled with this smell, the little flying insects will be happy.
You don't necessarily dare to open your mouth to speak, you can swallow one in your mouth accidentally.
Therefore, if the cowboy is a loser, the rancher will definitely not use it again. Many times, in this life, the rancher will not use a cowboy who suddenly leaves without any legitimate reason.
Zhang Chi didn't care about this, he said with a smile: "You haven't made a decision yet, I'm already preparing to go into the mountains, just in these two days."
The cowboy glanced at Zhang Chi and said with a smile: "I'm different from you. You can go if you want. I work for others. If I leave and come back, I won't have this position."
For cowboys, the stable income from a ranch is the guarantee of life. Although the money is not much, which of the people at the bottom does not have ways to save money?
In any case, it is better to have a fixed income than to have nothing at all, even if it is less.
So even though the salary is low, the Cowboys still don't want to give up a job that they can keep for a long time.
Many people in the world think that Americans live a very good life. In fact, the lives of people at the bottom are the same, but the conditions of suffering are different.
If you are a worker in a big factory, your life will be pretty good, but if you work in a small factory or a small farm to make a living, every penny you earn is earned through your sweat.
At this moment, Lao Xu came over and said to Zhang Chi: "Let's go."
"seen it already?"
"Yeah!" Lao Xu nodded.
Zhang Chi waved to the cowboy, indicating that he should go back first. The cowboy smiled at Zhang Chi, which was considered polite.
Zhang Chi actually wanted to take a closer look, appreciate his own achievements, look at the expressions on the faces of these people here, and secretly satisfy the happy mood of a donor.
But now that Melika was in the car and Lao Xu told him to go back, it was better to go back.
After getting in the car and closing the door, Lao Xu said: "These cows are not as good as my herd."
"Now it's sold." Zhang Chi smiled at him and reminded him: "They even took the cow dung home, so give it back to you."
"That's it." Old Xu was happy.
Melika asked at this time: "Did you pick up another cow?"
Lao Xu nodded: "Well, the guy named Harvey over there picked up dozens of them, but they are a little thinner than the ones I picked up."
Melika didn't care who picked up the cow, but asked Zhang Chi: "Was there a herd of bison here before?"
Zhang Chi shook his head: "Who knows!"
There is no need for Zhang Chi to answer this question. No one would have thought that the cattle he herded would go up. When most people hear the news, they go into the mountains to look for cattle. Few people will think about where these cattle come from.
of.
In the past, it would have been fine if there were some clues in this mountain, but if so many cows suddenly jumped out, some people who love to think about it would definitely be suspicious, such as people like Melika.
Once or twice, she thought this was understandable, but suddenly two families in the town of Amber found cattle, which made Melika always feel that this was weird.
Zhang Chi doesn't explain, because the more you explain this matter, the more you'll be screwed. Normal people won't react like this when they hear news that has nothing to do with them. If it's something that has nothing to do with you, then you definitely don't care.
If you pay special attention to it, your flaws will often come out.
Zhang Chi drove the car back to the ranch, while Melika folded her arms and thought about the cattle. Lao Xu was very happy. Although he had paid hundreds of thousands in tax, but he thought that he was finally
He made a profit, so he was in a better mood now.
A few days ago, I was worried about my children's education, but now that I have the money, it doesn't matter anymore.
You said it!
This is the good thing about the United States. As long as you have money, there is almost no grievance. It is not something that exists, and it is not something that people like Lao Xu can meet.
As soon as he returned to the ranch, Zhang Chi discovered that Lao Xu's car was back.
Of course Lao Xu also noticed it, got out of the car and drove away.
Zhang Chi and Melika returned to the house.
After dinner.
Without saying a word, Melika went back to the house to sleep.
Zhang Chi was preparing to make himself a pot of tea, and was sitting under the porch to enjoy his afternoon time.
As soon as I sat down and got into a good posture, I saw Lao Xu driving over on a four-wheel motorcycle and went straight to the door of the house.
When I got off the motorcycle, I took out an old glass jar.
Then he grinned widely and walked towards Zhang Chi with the jar in his arms.
"Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang!"
Shh!
Zhang Chi motioned to Lao Xu to keep his voice down, as his wife was sleeping in the room.
The only problem with Minatohe's house is that it's not very soundproof. The voice of Lao Xu outside could have made the former Merika jump.
"nice one!"
Lao Xu patted the jar and lowered his voice and said.
