Speaking of old Ronald, Zhang Xiaokai has been with him for a while.

Usually get a lot of pocket money, this old man also specially helped the teenager buy a computer and a mobile phone, probably because he is a relative, in fact, Zhang Xiaokai is not bad, when he went out today, he told that since he wanted to learn at home, then buy some textbooks that will be used from the Internet.

People who have not been into high school or college tend to value these qualifications more.

I don't know how to educate my child, so I let him stay at home, and the old man is a little concerned about not going to school, and he always feels that it is not good.

However, I just had an accident last month, and I think it's better to rest and recover for a while, so maybe I want to go to school next?

The relationship with each other is not as blunt as before, but it is not very good.

The main reason is that their personalities are incompatible, they live under the same roof, and the grandfather and grandson don't communicate much at present.

The computer is placed on the desk in the study.

A classical oak table, surrounded by books on the walls, the former owner of this house was quite tasteful, this room was Zhang Xiaokai's favorite place, often ventilated, the musty smell gradually faded, and some of the tattered old moldy books had been thrown into the stove by him.

There are more than 100,000 pieces of information about the Indians related to gold, and objects similar to the shape of the golden bird have been found.

The winged bird-like object was called the "Thunderbird Celestial" by the Indians, who believed it to be a messenger from heaven with the power to disintegrate and recreate. In most Indian settlements, there will be a totem in the shape of a thunderbird, which is worshipped as a god, like a small Buddha statue in a Chinese family or a cross in a church.

Gold is nothing special, he cares more about the strange stones on it, and after searching, he found that there are no similar objects, the closest is an olivine meteorite, which is very different and has a different color.

Thinking of the roses outside the window, Zhang Xiaokai still felt puzzled, he couldn't think of the result, so he simply called a basin of water, soaked the thing in it again, washed and scrubbed, and got rid of the fragmentary stains that he didn't finish last time.

Then he took the water basin and saw a freshly budding rose bush sprinkled on it, and then cleared the water stains on the ground and re-hid the ornaments in the shape of a thunderbird.

Look at the animal skin paper, it has become dry and hard, and the pattern color is even darker.

One of them depicts more than a dozen Indians, kneeling and praying in front of the golden bird, which should be worth some money, if nothing else.

Zhang Xiaokai occasionally worries about the old man's debts, and is thinking about whether he should tell him about it at that time, and sell it for some money.

After buying the textbooks and exercises that he needed to study for the next grade, and by the way he brought some stationery and homework books, he lay down in bed and fell asleep in a daze, and when he woke up it was already dark, he was woken up by a call from the old man, saying that he was sending him a coat, which was over the bullpen.

I got up and went to his room, took a coat from the cupboard, went out with my car keys and door keys, and glanced at the place where I had just splashed water, and suddenly my eyes were round as if I had seen a ghost!

It used to be just budding, but now there are tender green leaves on the branches, and some green can be seen on the ground, and the grass grows significantly faster than other places.

Trott over and look, the ground is still wet, it's definitely the place where the water was splashed before.

I wondered what was going on, squatted there and watched for a long time, and then picked the leaves and put them in my hands to watch, very tender rose leaves.

Looking at the roses that were in full bloom, I finally guessed that the roses that bloomed in winter more than a month ago were not the flowers transplanted by the old man from other places, and I was more frightened than delighted.

The white bear trotted over from a distance.

Zhang Xiaokai gave it a name a few days ago, called "Mocha", it is a little male bear, can eat a lot at a meal, and likes to drink milk the most.

The body is a little bigger than when I first picked it up, the body is very round, I always run around every day, and I run back by myself before and after the meal, and I always call it when I am locked up at home, and I have looked for it a few times when I go out, and over time I don't care about it.

Mocha has a round head, and I have searched the Internet for pictures of polar bear cubs, and they don't quite resemble it, such as the nose, which is black and dark brown.

In the original white hair, there were more golden miscellaneous hairs, and various characteristics were combined, so that Zhang Xiaokai found a rare species called "White Spirit Bear", I don't know if it is for the time being, but it is definitely not a polar bear.

Seeing this little guy who loves to eat fish, he actually lowered his head and gnawed the turf at this moment, Zhang Xiaokai quickly picked it up, opened the car door and threw it in the back row, and said: "Let's go, let's go see the calf, where did you play during the day, it was so dirty......"

Breeding your own calves is more troublesome, and of course, you can make more money.

The Cleveland ranch doesn't have that many kinds of cattle, so it procures more than 1,200 half-sized calves from other breeding bases and raises them to the kind that can be sold in the winter.

When you drive to the cattle pen, you can see people driving the calves down from the big trucks, scanning the electronic tags on their ears, and leading them into the cattle pen.

The breeds are mainly Charolais and Angus cattle, with some Canadian cattle, and the site is full of cow dung, which smells terrible after being trampled by calves.

Mocha the bear was smoked to retch, staying in the car and reluctant to come out, Zhang Xiaokai was afraid that it would step on something, so he didn't forcibly get out of the car, and took the old man's coat in his hand before closing the car door, and stood on tiptoe to see where he was.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the wind was blowing, and it was still relatively cold.

Seeing old Ronald wearing a sweater from afar, scolding a young man with a straight face, Zhang Xiaokai has long been accustomed to seeing such a scene, don't expect that old man to have much patience, and can slowly teach this group of young people who have just come to work and have no experience before.

It takes about two and a half hours to make a round trip from the breeding point to here, and at five o'clock six carts of calves have been sent over, this is the second batch, and there is another batch in the middle of the night, and it will not be busy until tomorrow.

If it weren't for the fact that driving the cattle and sheep was too disturbing, they would be stopped by police cars, in fact, it would take two or three days to rush along the road is the best way to save money, some people do this, but Cleveland Ranch is a little far from there, and you need to pass through two towns halfway.

Before, Zhang Xiaokai already felt that he had raised a lot of cattle, but now he knows what a lot is.

Because of his work, he often hears his father talk about where and where there are tens of thousands of cows, which is just a number for him, and he has no clear concept.

Now I see so many cows, and the mooing is so noisy that my ears hurt.

There was an old man in his fifties who was laughing and waving at him, Patrick Holness, who lived in Jamaica as a child and came to the United States in the early years, and his English was poor.

This is one of the few old employees under the old man's hand, and his ears are not very good, and he needs to be very loud to talk to him, which is a good explanation why the other party has been able to continue to work under the old Ronald until now, in fact, Mr. Holness has been working for several years long before the old Ronald bought the land, and his son is also a cowboy.

Smile in response and wave to greet the enthusiastic Jamaican, a country of immigrants from all over the world.

Take Zhang Xiaokai as an example, in fact, he is not a pure Chinese, his mother is mixed-race, and the old Ronald Cleveland has Italian and Norwegian ancestry, so that Zhang Xiaokai has deep eyes, and after the frostbite marks on his face gradually disappear, he looks a little handsome.

The people who work here already know what Zhang Xiaokai experienced at the beginning of the year, and they take care of him in their daily lives, and they do not transfer the resentment from the old man to him, and they are walking around the herd at the moment, greeting several intern cowboys who are responsible for maintaining order one after another.

"Do you want me to hang up and inherit my inheritance, that's why you deliberately chose such a red coat?"

Ronald Sr. has been too busy lately to take care of his hair, his white hair is messy with some blonde hair, his beard is not shaved, and he blows his beard and glares when he takes his coat from the boy's hand.

Amused by the old man's words, thinking of the scene of the old man being hit by a cow, the smile on his face became more obvious, Zhang Xiaokai really took a piece casually, didn't remember this stubble at all, and said: "...... I forgot that I can't wear red, this dark red should be fine, I'm not interested in your bank debts!"

A very powerful riposte.

If the bank arrears are not paid by the end of the year, Ronald Sr. should go bankrupt.

With his debt situation, he can only borrow about $1 million from the bank at present, and the cost of maintaining such a large ranch covering more than 4,000 acres is not small.

The fishing ground doesn't cost much, but it's not easy to make money, and the money earned from buying seafood this year is used to help pay off the mortgage, and a part of the account is taken out to make up for the gap, the money is not so easy to make, and it is quite easy to spend.

The elder Ronald died on his own, and the mistake was to invest a lot of money at one time and spend it on the renovation of various facilities.

was so angry with Zhang Xiaokai's last sentence that he was autistic, put on his coat on the contrary, and waved his hand to let the little guy play by himself......
