In a vast pasture, an Angus cow is grazing with its head down.

It has eaten a lot more recently, not only because it has to replenish its own nutrients, but also because in its slightly bulging belly, a small life is constantly absorbing its mother's energy.

The grass mud horses enjoyed their free time, they were social animals, and hundreds of alpacas, under the glorious guidance of the foolish leader, had run to the side of the path.

The grass here has not been eaten by other animals, the alfalfa covers the legs and wrists of the alpacas, and their strange leaders, with only two long ears left exposed, eat the tender grass, and play with each other from time to time, but the farther and farther away from the sheepfold.

There was the roar of cars on the flat road, and the alpacas looked up one after another, and the leader seemed to find something, and chased after him with his short legs.

A large herd of grass and mud horses galloped past, causing the displeasure of the Simmental herd, and they all looked up and glared at them, but unfortunately the perpetrators fled too quickly, and the cattle could only give up, and after a while they forgot about it and lay down on the grass to rest.

The road is several kilometers long and lined with low shrubs, which are lavender planted in previous years.

In May, the flowers have just cracked, and you can vaguely see the purple, but unfortunately every year before they have time to bloom by the cattle and sheep a lot, and now the cowboys are fenced around, hoping that this year they can survive until June.

Old Barton rested under a tree, and next to him were two young cowboys, in their twenties, who seemed to be newcomers to the ranch. Seeing the unseen car not far away, the old man put down the lunch box in his hand and was about to come forward to ask, and the two young cowboys also stood up, and then they saw him walking up and laughing loudly: "Boss!

As soon as the car stopped, Xiao Han Xuan ran out and said to the old cowboy: "Grandpa Barton, I miss you to death." ”

"Haha, so is grandpa, you've grown taller in more than half a month!"

"Boss, I heard that you drove all the way back from New York, how are you doing?"

Old Barton smiled, stepped forward to live upstairs Han Qianshan patted him on the back, bent down to pick up Han Xuan, his face was a little red, this was the first time the little guy had left the ranch for so long, he was not used to it. After carefully looking at the boy in his arms for a long time, he relieved his heart and kissed his tender face, and his beard made Han Xuan laugh and bend down to avoid it.

Han Qianshan twisted his shoulders, his face full of depression: "Hey, don't mention it, I'm really tired of them now." ”

Barton looked at the boss suspiciously: "Don't you know that several other ranchers go on a tour together and take turns driving?"

“… They didn't say that. ”

Han Xuan looked at his father and laughed.

The two young cowboys seemed to be a little at a loss, and when they saw Han's father looking at him, they introduced themselves one after another: "Hello boss, I'm Anderson, and I've just been on the ranch for four days. ”

"I'm Martinez and I'm from Wyoming. ”

Father Han nodded and stretched out his hand to them: "Are you still used to living here? I have too many cattle and sheep on my farm, and it is difficult to take care of them, so it is really hard for you." ”

"It's okay boss, this is the best place I've ever seen pastures! ”

It was Martinez who spoke, a black man who is rarely seen in the cowboy industry these days.

Old Patton raised his hand and patted the black young man on the shoulder, and said to Han Qianshan: "Boss, Martinez is a student of agricultural economics at Montana State University, and now he is interning at our ranch, a very good young man." And Anderson too, he's been in contact with livestock since he was a child, and he's very good at taking care of them, and I've been a lot more relaxed lately, and it seems like it's almost time to go home to retire. “

"Grandpa Barton, you're not old at all, I'm waiting for you to teach me how to ride. Han Xuan hugged the old cowboy's neck and said coquettishly.

The old cowboy smiled and narrowed his eyes, raised his head and kissed him again: "Yes, I still want to watch you grow up and get married!"

A few people on the road were talking, and the fat man was bored, and jumped out of the car window, intending to find the little master.

Then a dark shadow passed over its head, and then one after another, probably not seeing the road, and a grass and mud horse stepped on its tail.

This fat Ding is fried, look at me as a bully, right, I chased after me with a meow and grabbed the alpaca.

Where have I seen a cat in this group of rural non-mainstream grown, the group behind them stretched their necks, quickly stopped, stared wide-eyed, and immediately retreated in tacit understanding, away from the alpaca that was caught by the fat ding.

And the person concerned was already frightened, saliva was flowing from his mouth, and he looked down and watched the little guy bite and scratch on it. After a long time, I found that it didn't hurt, so I came to my senses, kicked my leg lightly, and the fat man flew in response.

Mr. Grass Mud Horse shook his hair and was about to take a step, when he turned his head and saw the monster rushing up

McDull finally arrived at the owner's side.

The little short legs are too bad, and the alpacas have to take three steps to take one step, so Han Xuan only saw the little donkey running desperately, and the alpacas followed leisurely, not forgetting to be handsome whenever and wherever they were.

"Alas, sympathy, I feel sorry for you. ”

The boy sighed inwardly and asked Grandpa Barton to put him down.

McDull kept jumping into the master's arms, and Han Xuan was taken by it, hugged its head and scolded with a smile: "Ah, you fat man, is it that I am not there and you are stealing food again!"

McDull showed a signature smile, other donkeys couldn't learn it, and stuck out their tongues like dogs to lick him, but Han Xuan laughed and avoided him.

Fat Ding saw this scene not far away, ignored the alpaca in front of him, and ran quickly towards the boy. When he got to the front, he hugged the boy's trouser leg like a pet, rubbed the bun face on his feet, and meowed when he was picked up by the owner, and did not forget to squint his McDull, rolled in Han Xuan's arms and continued to be coquettish, which made several people laugh.

Han's father was really afraid of driving, and the remaining road was not long, so he planned to walk home with his son.

Behind him, Anderson and Martinez both thought about it, and they couldn't stop arguing about the two of them guessing boxing, but they didn't expect that several of them were tied, so they simply discussed one person to open half, and then they were all happy.

Xiao Han Xuan shrugged helplessly, what is there to fight for a few hundred meters, the car is not just a ranch to drive

In front of the cabin, Guo's mother was sitting at the door washing clothes, the machine washed was not cleaned by hand, her husband and son were not at home, the workload was much less, and it was over with a few pieces.

It's also convenient to cook, two dishes can be passed, she has completely lost her usual seriousness, the seasoning is the same as before, and the taste is not as good as before.

Guo's mother shook her head, wrung out the water in her clothes, and habitually looked at the road.

The first thing I saw was McDull, and I wondered why this little thing was so excited, and then I saw a father and son, one big and one young, who hurriedly wiped their hands on their clothes, stood up and walked out.

"Son, you're back, yo Qianshan, haven't you lost yet?"

"Mom!"

"Wife!"

"Let go of your hands, you haven't taken a shower in a few days, it stinks. ”

“…”

The wooden house was soon filled with aroma, four dishes and one soup had been served, and Han's father originally planned to eat first, but his wife knocked chopsticks on the head to be honest.

After Han Xuan took a shower, he realized that he forgot to take his clothes, and he didn't want to wear dirty clothes, so he simply slipped naked and walked out with a swagger, anyway, he didn't look at it.

McDull and Fat Ding both followed him, staring at each other from time to time, one turning his head and rolling his eyes to show disdain, the other pouting his bun face to express dissatisfaction, and then staring at Han Xuan together. The boy was embarrassed by both of them, and ran to his room to get dressed.

After eating full, he was the most comfortable, lying on the sofa and not wanting to move, it took a long time to feel relieved, Han Xuan planned to go out alone to hang out, to see the ranch that had been parting for a long time, but he didn't expect to hear the bell behind him as soon as he went out, so two more fart worms were with him.

The foundation of the new house had just been laid, and it was now afternoon before the workers came to work.

More than 20 people worked together to build the wooden shelves, and the speed was very fast, while the mixer kept turning, and the cement and stone creaked, and then they were poured into the wooden plank, and the thick and poured wall was 40 centimeters.

The big pit in the swimming pool was also dug up, and now that it had just taken shape, Han Xuan nodded with satisfaction, shook his head behind his back and went to the lake.

At this time, a pickup truck drove from the side of the road, and down was the owner of the Augsg Ranch in the east, the old Augsig.

His son Balzer also appeared in sight, Han Xuan crooked his mouth, as if he remembered something bad, afraid that this little guy would pester himself to tell a story, so he simply took the lead in asking old Augsge: "Uncle, may I ask you for something?"

"Little one, can you take me to your father, I have something to say to him. ”

Seeing the serious expression on his face, Xiao Han nodded: "My dad is resting in the house, please wait a while, uncle, I'll call him." ”

The elder Augsg is now in his fifties, and he is considered an old man, and he is usually a very kind person.

Han Qianshan soon came out with his son, talked to old Augsge, and gradually moved away from the juniors, and it seemed that the faces of the two were not very good-looking.

Han Xuan was curious about what was going on, so he turned his head to Balzer, who was not very interested, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Balzer looked up, grinned and looked into the distance, "Can you finish that story?" I might be moving away in a short time, so I want to finish it." ”

"Move out?"

"Well, back to Panama, it was my dad who said it, and I don't know..."

Balzer's wish was not fulfilled, and he was brought home by his father.

Han Qianshan came to his son, as if he saw his curiosity, and said: "There is something wrong with Augsge's business, so I want to sell his ranch, do you think we should buy it?" ”

"Is that the Augsg Ranch? a 50,000-acre ranch!?"

The boy was surprised.
