After the meal, Zhang Chi and everyone put away the dishes and chopsticks together. The work of washing dishes is now done by the elders, so Zhang Chi finally has a free time.
"What are you going to do?"
Li Xiumei walked out of the kitchen and saw Zhang Chi sneaking towards the door, so she asked aloud.
"I'm going out for a walk to eat, do you want to come with me?" Zhang Chi asked.
Li Xiumei replied: "I won't go, why don't you ask Xiaomei if she wants to go?"
After hearing this, Zhang Chi went back upstairs and called out to Melika. He originally responded casually, but today Melika actually agreed. So Zhang Chi waited for Melika to change her clothes, and the two of them went downstairs together.
When I arrived at the door, I saw my mother Li Xiumei again.
"Look at Xiaomei. If you hurt my granddaughter, see how I will deal with you." Li Xiumei was very satisfied. Seeing the appearance of her son and daughter-in-law, Li Xiumei couldn't help but nodded, and threatened her son with satisfaction before letting Xiaomei go.
The couple went out.
The two of them were walking, not riding horses, talking in low voices while walking aimlessly in the pasture.
Unknowingly, the two of them passed near the fence.
Using the light, Melika spotted a horse in the pen and asked, "Why did Cannon forget a horse here today?"
Zhang Chi looked up and said with a smile: "It's not that Cannon forgot, I threw this horse here. It is the horse that my sister wanted."
Merica laughed and said: "It turns out to be the most intelligent horse."
In the afternoon, she heard Zhang Juan talking about this horse and laughed a few times. Melika had never heard of such a horse, but since she knew that it was very smart, she knew that this horse was not easy to train.
.
Some people say you are talking nonsense. If a smart horse is not trained, then a stupid horse is easy to train? This is right or wrong. A stupid horse can only pull a cart. The so-called stallion is a stallion. A very smart horse cannot be trained.
It's not because there is a problem with its understanding, but because all smart things have one thing in common, that is, they like to enjoy leisure and hate work.
Horses are like this. A smart horse likes to work so much that he works all day long. Doesn’t this sound strange to you?
"I have no choice but to leave it here. I'm thinking of starving it for a few days and then throwing it away if that doesn't work," Zhang Chi said.
Melika thought for a moment and said: "Actually, it's quite easy to train. You see what it's afraid of, and then you just use this trick on it. However, it's also dangerous if you train it like this, because once you ride on it,
, if one day it suddenly wants to play tricks on you, you will be screwed."
Zhang Chi knows that this is why some good horses can hinder the owner.
"So... forget it." Zhang Chi felt his head was numb, but he still didn't want to think about this bastard.
The two of them did not stop at the fence, but continued to move forward.
When they arrived at the cowshed, the couple heard a sound coming from inside, so they curiously stood at the door and looked inside, only to find that Cannon and other cowboys were in the cowshed.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Chi stood at the door and asked curiously into the room.
Cannon and others heard the noise and turned to look at the door. When they saw Zhang Chi and his wife coming, they all said hello.
In addition to Cannon, there were also cattle dogs from the ranch. They were also very happy to see Zhang Chi and his wife. They all waggled their tails and came near Zhang Chi and his wife, begging to be petted.
The two entered the cowshed and saw several cows in the nearby cowshed. One cow had obviously just given birth to a calf and was lying motionless on the ground. Next to it was a calf whose fur had not yet dried.
The cows next to them also have bulging bellies, and it looks like they will give birth in the next few days.
"How about it?"
Upon seeing this posture, both Zhang Chi and Melika understood that cowboys like Cannon had driven some cows that were about to give birth to the cowshed to provide special care.
The two of them didn't know the reason, but Cannon always had his reasons for doing what he did.
"It's no problem. She just gave birth not long ago, and the cow doesn't have much strength now. We'll feed her some nutrient solution later, and we'll wait for the calf to get up and take its first sip of milk." Cannon, Zhang Chi, and Melika said simply
Introduced.
Zhang Chi looked at both the cow and the calf, but there was no special reaction, so he let the matter go.
"How is the construction of your and Brian's house going?" Zhang Chi asked.
Cannon said: "It's almost reaching its peak. We'll be there in another month and a half."
Zhang Chi felt a little strange: "Why did it take so long?"
When he first built a house for himself, a house of about the same size, Zhang Chi calculated that it would not take so long. Why did it take so long now?
Cannon explained: "We didn't let them rush it. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to move in. My parents won't be able to come here for a month or two. It's been built so early, and I feel lonely living there alone."
Only then did Zhang Chi understand that it turned out that Lao Xu had used his spare time to help the two of them build it. The disadvantage was that it took longer, but the advantage was that the construction was about 10% cheaper.
Cheng Zhangchi didn't like this, but that didn't mean Cannon and Brian didn't like it, so they readily accepted Lao Xu's suggestion.
After chatting with Cannon and others for a while, Zhang Chi and his wife decided to leave and continue their business of digestion.
As soon as he reached the door of the bullpen, Zhang Chi's cell phone rang.
"Who?" Melika asked casually.
Generally speaking, Zhang Chi doesn't have a phone number. First of all, he doesn't have many friends, and most of his friends are contacted by text messages, so it's quite strange to get a sudden call at night.
"Old Xu!"
Zhang Chi took out his cell phone and took a look at it before answering the call.
"Hey Lao Zhang".
"It's me, what's the matter?" Zhang Chi replied with a smile.
"Why can't I call you if I have nothing to do?"
Zhang Chi laughed happily: "Okay, but you really won't be so idle, right? I just mentioned to Cannon and the others about making money here. It's okay. You are a master of time management. You can make money even if you squeeze in some time."
Pay up!"
"My life is miserable, what else can I say? If I could find a good wife like you, and have such a big piece of land, I would be as free as you," Old Xu said to Zhang Chi.
"Is there still room at home?"
Soon Lao Xu came up with his plan and asked Zhang Chi if he could still stay at his home.
Zhang Chi said: "How many people do you have?"
"Two or three people," Lao Xu said.
Zhang Chi said: "Is the cowboy dormitory okay?"
"Okay, okay, we just want to sleep one night. If you can't live there, I'm going to spend the night in the car. We'll go there right away. Oh, by the way, is there anything to eat at home? It's troublesome.
Please help prepare some," Lao Xu said.
Zhang Chi naturally nodded in agreement: "Is beef or something like that okay?"
"Of course you can!"
After settling the matter, Lao Xu went to Zhang Chi's ranch, while Zhang Chi went back with Melika.
When he got home, Zhang Chi took some steaks and thawed them in the microwave. Then he prepared some side dishes and some drinking water, and put them together into an empty cowboy dormitory.
Not long after waiting, Zhang Chi heard the noise outside. When he came out, he found that Lao Xu was driving a car and parked about ten meters away from the door with a car.
The cowboy dormitory was built by old Xu. How could he not know where this place was? Naturally, he could find the door by himself without Zhang Chi's help.
"This is Boss Zhang, and these are my two friends," Lao Xu introduced to Zhang Chi as soon as he got out of the car.
There were two people who came with Lao Xu, both in their forties. One was chubby, and the other was still chubby. They looked like an outstanding boss.
After getting to know each other for a while, Zhang Chi motioned for everyone to enter the room.
But Lao Xu stopped him and said to Zhang Chi: "I'm going to meet my grandparents, uncles and aunts. I didn't prepare anything when I came over temporarily, but I definitely want to say hello. You two go in first and wait for me for a while."
As he spoke, Lao Xu took Zhang Chi with him to meet Zhang Chi's family.
When I was waiting to come back, it was already half an hour later.
Back at the cowboy dormitory, Lao Xu started frying the steak skillfully, and Zhang Chi also helped. As for the other two, they were obviously people with limited ability to take care of themselves. They wanted to help, but the more they helped, the more chaotic they became.
It's better not to help.
The meal is made quickly, just frying a few steaks and grilling some side dishes.
When it was time to eat, Cannon got two more bottles of Wuliangye and insisted on taking a few sips with Zhang Chi.
Although the other two people don't know how to cook, they are still good at drinking. When they see people who look like they are doing engineering, they like to have a few drinks at night.
"That neighbor of yours is too bad."
After taking two bites of food and a sip of wine, Lao Xu started to criticize Zhang Chi's good neighbor Lao Liu.
Zhang Chi smiled and said, "You just know?"
"I thought things would get better when I get to the United States, but who knows, I still look up to him..." Lao Xu said again.
Zhang Chi smiled and didn't answer him.
Lao Xu continued: "Didn't his house burn down? I thought he would have to build a house. I can take on this job. Who knew I promised well on the phone? When I got here, I saw, what the hell...
…He has to sign contracts with others.”
"You can't eat in his house."
Zhang Chi feels that Lao Xu is also blindly thinking. Lao Liu is indeed not a toy, but Lao Liu is really unambiguous in terms of enjoyment. He wants to rebuild the house, how could it be done by a second-hand engineering team like Lao Xu?
Okay.
"Didn't I bring a friend here? These two are both good players," Lao Xu said.
Zhang Chi could only giggle beside him, but he felt that Lao Xu was really overthinking. If he were in Lao Liu's position, he would not be able to hand over the project to Lao Xu. Lao Liu's original home would not be burned down before it was burned down.
It's also a top-notch mansion. With Lao Xu's airs, he probably doesn't even have the qualifications. To put it bluntly, Lao Xu's engineering team is just an assembly team. Who can use their own mansion to practice for him.
But seeing that Lao Xu was angry, Zhang Chi couldn't say anything.
After listening for a while, Zhang Chi realized that Lao Xu didn't want to take the whole thing, but wanted to take a section. According to the name, it might be called Erbao. Originally, Lao Liu agreed, but when he came today, Lao Liu regretted it.
In short, it was just such a trivial matter, and Lao Xu was not happy. It was he who found someone, namely the two people next to him, who vowed to pat his chest, and in the end, Lao Liu cooked the hot pot.
