The smell of confusion hit his face, choking Louis's Adam's apple and nausea.

He is not the kind of student with good grades, otherwise he would have earned more than he does now when he chose to treat pet cats and dogs, and it would have been easier to find a job.

No way, I don't have the ability to go to the big city, and I don't want to be too far away from my parents, every time I am scolded by the vicious old man who is the boss, a group of young people comfort each other, despise and spurn old Ronald together, and finally insist on working until now, and the psychology is already relatively strong.

Zhang Xiaokai suddenly felt that this guy was so pitiful, and when he saw that his right hand was trembling and stretched out to the cow, he couldn't bear to look at it directly, especially when he reached in, and the feeling of nausea suddenly came.

Louis's new friends couldn't help but laugh at the moment, and most of them would laugh at him for a long time because of this.

"Oh my God! I touched something, it was a calf's hoof!" Louis shouted as he put half of his arm in, pinched his nose and glared.

The drunken old man waved his hand and said with a smile: "That's it! Tie it up, it's better to tie both hooves! This cow is pregnant for the first time and has no experience at all, don't kill my dollars!"

"Well, I'm trying to tie it up, oh my god why is there so much slime, I feel like my ring just slipped off. ”

"Leave your damn ring alone, tie it up and pull it out!"

"OKOK!

Seeing Luis pull out his arm, Zhang Xiaokai looked at him with disgust, and took two steps back by the way, which tasted a little good.

Mr. Holness, a Jamaican, hurriedly grabbed the rope and pulled it out, like a tug-of-war, and soon the hooves of the cow appeared, and the belly was also revealed, and a calf fell to the ground.

As if dead, but the mouth was still moving, Ronald Sr. hurried to clean its mouth and nose, and then slapped the calf twice on the thigh to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

"Why are you still stunned, there should be a calf in it, this is a valuable cow, and the other one should be too, don't be suffocated!"

In his heart, he spit on this money-obsessed old man, who only knew money, and his arms were already full of bad smells anyway, and after Louis untied the rope, he put his hand in it again, this time it was much more skillful.

More than a minute later, another small cow with black and white coat was also pulled out hard, and it was in slightly better condition, and when it fell to the ground, it still knew how to raise its head, but it could not stand up for the time being.

The young man named Pena prepared the adrenaline as instructed, was held by the old Ronald, stabbed the dying calf hard, squinted his eyes to make sure it was not in the wrong place, then pulled out the syringe and sat down on the ground.

Both calves lay down and did not stand up, and the cow appeared slightly irritable, her mouth still chewing on her food.

Some ranches like to raise cows in large quantities, provided that the fresh milk market is guaranteed, and they can produce milk and give birth to calves to sell to the outside world, which can generally make more money than raising beef cattle. Female Holstein cows, in turn, are far more valuable than bulls, producing seven or eight tons of milk a year.

"We've done what we need to do, and we'll know if we can survive in the next two days, but I hope we can get up smoothly, let's go, and go back to sleep." ”

The old man was probably sleepy, and immediately wanted to lie back in his bed after finishing his work, stimulated by alcohol.

Louis was concerned about the smell on his arm and asked, "Boss, how can I get rid of this bad smell?"

"I advise you to use whiskey. ”

"Whiskey removes the smell?"

"No, but you've had four or five glasses of whiskey, and when you're drunk, you can't smell it. ”

“……”

The obese blue cat was taken as a pet by Zhang Xiaokai, who named it Tom.

Forgive Zhang Xiaokai for being a shallow learner, and can only think of one of the protagonists in the cartoon "Cat and Mouse", just like the little white bear Mocha, naming is not his strong point, in fact, many cats in the United States are called Tom, and there are more people called Tom.

He thinks the cat is his pet, and Fat Tom himself doesn't think so, and last night he failed to escape from prison and was stuck in the doorway again.

It's rare to see such a confident cat, maybe it thinks it's thin enough, and when she sees Zhang Xiaokai, she still lazily opens her mouth and dozes off, and her attitude is really good.

Mocha the little white bear was kept in a cage all night, and when he was released, he was pitiful and too lazy to help him take care of his hair, anyway, every time he just washed it, he would become a dirty bear because he played in the grass for half a day.

Since it is a pet, it must be fed, in case he is so hungry that he goes crazy and attacks people, Zhang Xiaokai feels that he may not be able to beat this little bear, no matter how small the bear is, it is also a bear.

When you see it, you get angry, and after feeding, let it get out and play by itself.

Old Ronald drank a little too much last night, and it was rare to wake up behind Zhang Xiaokai, looking depressed, and asked: "Let's go and help the cow deliver the baby, right, how is the calf now?"

"I just got up, I don't know, omelette and bread for breakfast?"

Zhang Xiaokai tied his apron seriously, took out the ingredients from the refrigerator, and continued: "There is almost no food at home, if you don't have time, then I will go to the supermarket to buy some after the doctor comes to help my father check it." ”

"That's all for this, I'll talk about the town later, I'll see if I have time, and I'd better bring some more vegetable seeds, and I'm going to make a little garden by the river." ”

The old man went back to the room to wash, Zhang Xiaokai fried the eggs by himself, cooking without any technical work, poured the oil and beat the eggs, sprinkled with a little salt and turned over, which was very suitable for beginners like him, only a little more troublesome than hot buns.

It's a sunny day again.

Except for that very brief spell of man-made rain, not a drop of rain has fallen lately, and the Cleveland ranch is so large that the plains can be moistened by flood irrigation, and there is no water on the hills.

The watering place has long been green, because it is too dry, and the grass seeds in more places have not yet germinated, the old man is so worried that he asks Zhang Xiaokai to help him check the weather forecast every day, without exception, it is all bad results, so this black pot was inexplicably carried by Zhang Xiaokai, saying that it was normal before he came.

I'm so angry in my heart, I regret that I didn't spit in the omelette when I was frying......

The feeling under the fence is not comfortable, Zhang Xiaokai has been cautious until now, for fear that after angering this old man, he and his father, who has been asleep, will have to roll up and leave.

It doesn't matter if he leaves, but what should my dad do, he finally settled down, and without the help of the nurse, he is not sure to take care of it.

So when the old man asked him to help him go to the fishing boat to keep an eye on it, so as not to be stolen by the employees again, even if he was not happy that the old man was calling him a child laborer, he still agreed.

Afraid that the cat would dismantle the house, he put it in a cage before going out, thinking about the golden ptarmigan sculpture, and looked all over the garden, not even letting go of the gaps between the rose rattans, so he drove to the dock alone.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the grass along the river is greener and more vigorous than when he saw it yesterday, and he didn't care about it, and came all the way to the seaside, during which he encountered flocks of sheep blocking the road from time to time, and they didn't go, so he had to bypass.

There are two fishing boats, one large and one small, parked on the pier.

The small one is very shabby, with only numbers on the hull, and the big one has just been bought, and occasionally leaves the fishing grounds to catch some fish legally, and comes back with a trawl net.

After getting acquainted with these employees, I often heard from the people in charge of the fishery who caught groupers today, and the whales they encountered the day before yesterday, etc., probably because they had just entered this environment, and the freshness was still there.

For Zhang Xiaokai, the fisherman's life used to exist only in books and television, but recently it is no longer strange, stepping on the flat pier towards the Cleveland, it is hard to imagine that the old man is actually buying a ranch, almost after spending the bonus, and also used the loan money to renovate the dock, the old dock is clearly still usable.

Twelve-year-old children all know that they should save, but the old man wants to come out of it, and this is also to blame for the bank staff who call from time to time to persuade the old man to take out loans, but they are not at ease at all.

Seeing Zhang Xiaokai coming, little Patrick, whose skin was tanned to wheat, asked with a smile: "What are you doing here, you want to go fishing?"

He was the son of Patrick Holness, who dropped out of school until the tenth grade and returned to work with his father.

Because he was born in the United States, his pronunciation is much better than his father who lived in Jamaica when he was young, and his appearance can be called handsome, a bit like Johnny Depp when he was young, and his eyes are more similar, and he is only nineteen years old this year.

I didn't dare to say that I was sent by the old man to supervise them, to see if they were stealing or lazy, so he followed little Patrick's words and said with a smile: "Yes, I'm bored at home, and my grandfather let me come out to play by myself." ”

Shortly after boarding, the smoking fishing boat Cleveland set sail......
