"The CBS weather forecast was accurate, and we were lucky. ”

Old Barton leaned on the railing, took out a small pot and took a sip of wine, and said to Han Qianshan.

It was raining lightly outside, washing away the dust from the yard and making the flat grass look extra green.

The vast grassland seems to be covered with a purple blanket, and the cattle and sheep are all in the pen today, and there are no animals on it, and it is very quiet.

Water dripped from the eaves in a line, birch trees loomed in the smoke and rain, and the mountains of Flathead could be seen in the distance.

It's past nine o'clock.

The cowboy pulls the forage to feed the alpacas, and those uncles are very particular, and they don't want to eat a little rain.

The water on the shore of the lake is somewhat muddy, and the mud is constantly washed away by the rain, and it flows along the high ground into Lake Rota.

Jenny Turtle liked this weather the most, and went ashore with his mouth wide open, and slowly crawled in the direction of the cabin, and a long mark was dragged out of the muddy ground behind him.

Under the eaves.

Han's father shook the check in his hand, and the geometric logo of JP Morgan Bank could be seen on it, followed by a string of numbers: 600000.

It was delivered by Williams in the morning, not long after he left.

Wheat yields came out yesterday at forty-one bushels per acre, which is considered high in the day. Now the wheat is still lying in the warehouse, and when the weather is fine, Old Williams will have someone come and drag it away.

The boy was sitting in a chair, his feet touching the ground, dangling in the air.

The short-sleeved shirt was printed with the pattern of Jerry the mouse, and it was a little cold today, and a white coat was added to it.

Fat Ding curled up in his arms, looking like a furball, cat and mouse are his favorite animations, the kitten turns around in his arms, sees the little mouse, opens his mouth to bite the clothes.

"By the way, that Tajima cow is pregnant. ”

Xiao Han Xuan suddenly thought of this matter, and held down Fat Ding and said to his father.

"Pregnant?

"I don't know, Martinez said it's been three months, I think it's been there when I was in Japan. ”

"I didn't expect to win the lottery. ”

Father Han folded the check and put it in his shirt pocket, looked even happier, and said: "Takeda Masao called the day before yesterday and said that the Japanese side had cleared the way, and those cattle were being transported to the United States from the Pacific Ocean, and they should arrive in more than ten days." ”

After saying that, thinking of the 600,000 US dollars, all the cattle would have to pay taxes in a few days, and suddenly had a headache, reached out and poured a cup of tea from the pot, and drank it to suppress the shock.

Old Patton turned around and smiled at the father and son: "Soon there will be high-end meat to be sold, and those things are really profitable." Although the beef was good in the past few years, it was produced by Angus cattle after all, and the buyers were unwilling to pay too high a price, and it was too much to sell at a loss. ”

After listening to the old cowboy, Han Xuan replied: "Look at it, when the calf grows up in a few years, those buyers will beg us to sell it, and then let Grandpa Barton go and negotiate the price with them." ”

"That's great, haha, these vampires have been bullying me for years. ”

The surrounding rain fell silent for a moment, and was drowned out by a louder noise.

Father Han stood up and asked, "What is it?"

"I don't know, we're out ......"

Before Old Barton could finish speaking, a dark shadow appeared in the sky, and it looked a little blurry in the rain.

"Helicopters?"

The boy was amazed, jumped out of his chair and ran to the railing, and looked out, not even paying attention to the rain's drops falling on his clothes.

"Has anyone bought a helicopter from a nearby ranch?" Father Han asked the old cowboy when he turned back.

Barton thought for a moment and said, "No, it's all small ranches, and I haven't heard anyone near Augusta buy this. ”

"Maybe it's passing by. ”

As if against the boy, as soon as the words came out, the helicopter began to descend, and soon landed in the open space more than twenty meters away from the hut.

The helicopter was huge, it looked more than ten meters long, it was all black, and now the propellers had not stopped, and it was very conspicuous crouching on the grass.

"This is a 212 from Bell, right? It's huge. The boy muttered to himself.

The father next to him kept his head shut and didn't speak, and after holding back for a long time, he said: "Just you're smart, why don't I know." ”

At this moment, the helicopter door was opened, and a figure with an umbrella walked this way.

The rain was so heavy that he could only see the figure, like a man, and as the man got closer and closer, the boy suddenly shouted with joy: "Grandpa!"

Not far away, the umbrella was lifted, and the man smiled: "Hi, eldest grandson, son-in-law." ”

It was Han Xuan's grandfather Guo Muzhou who came.

Now he is just 50 years old, his face is very young, and he can still see the handsome appearance when he was young.

Walking up the steps and putting away the umbrella, Guo Muzhou shook the water in his slippers.

It's quite cold today, he only wore shorts and short sleeves, shivered and said, "I came to have something nearby, thinking that it is not far from here, and I just happened to stop by to see you." It's a sunny day in Calgary today, but I didn't expect it to rain here. ”

Han Qianshan took the bag in his hand, walked to the house, and said, "Dad, I'll get you clothes." ”

"Well, be thicker. ”

Guo Muzhou turned his head to look, picked up the boy and asked, "What about your mother, she's not at home?"

"Yes, she'll go to Aunt Kelly's house to play, and I'll be back later. ”

"I'll call Madame, you talk, I'll go back first. ”

"Sit down again, it's raining out there, I haven't seen you in years, Barton. Guo Muzhou smiled and shook his hand.

The old cowboy picked up his umbrella and walked out, saying, "No, there is still some work to be done in the cowshed, how many days will you stay here?" ”

"Calgary hasn't been dealt with yet, I'm going back tomorrow, Barton, come over for dinner in the evening, by the way, call John again." ”

The old cowboy nodded, turned and walked into the rain.

"Goodbye, Grandpa Barton. The boy turned to his grandfather and asked softly, "Calgary, Canada, what are you going to do there?" ”

Han Qianshan had already brought the clothes, and the old man put down the boy and said while putting them on: "At first, I was going to play, but then I came across a painting that Zhang liked, and now I am discussing with its owner to transfer it to me." ”

Guo Muzhou and Old Man Han have similar interests and like to collect these things. However, Grandpa Han Xuan was fond of Chinese antiques, while he preferred Western works of art.

Hearing his grandfather say this, the boy became interested and asked, "What painting?"

"It was painted by Lichtenstein in 1963, and he's still alive, and the price isn't too high, but I love it. Hearing the boy's inquiry, Guo Muzhou pinched his face and said.

Xiao Han Xuan was stunned, feeling that he had heard this name somewhere.

The old man saw his grandson staring at him, and scratched his head: "It's not good for me to take you to see it this time, it's too troublesome to leave the country, wait until I buy the nurse." ”

"Nurse, the name of that painting is 'Nurse'?"

"You know?"

Of course, Han Xuan knew about this painting, and the news of later generations was noisy. Its price has increased dozens of times in more than 20 years, and it is comparable to the paintings of Picasso and Monet.

At auction in 2013, it reached $94 million, and as a modern artist, he was truly the first person to be under Picasso.

The boy was a little excited, narrowed his eyes and asked his grandfather, "Is it in Canada now?" ”

"He hasn't agreed to $3.5 million yet, but it should be about the same. Lichtenstein's paintings are now basically worth millions of dollars, and the market is very good, so it should not be a loss. ”

"Grandpa, you didn't bring any gifts to see me. ”

"Huh?"

"I want that painting~"

Guo Muzhou couldn't stand it because of this coquettish tone, hugged Han Xuan on his lap and said with a smile: "You kid will spend money, okay, okay, I'll send it to you when I buy it." ”

"What if you can't buy it?"

"My grandfather had seen Lichtenstein at the New York Art Fair, so if he couldn't do it, I would go to him and draw another one. ”

After speaking, a small mouth was smacked on his face.

"Such a big snapping turtle, huh, miniature donkey?"

"It's called Jenny, it's McDull, ah, and Fat Ding......"

Han Qianshan helped pour a cup of tea and put it in front of his father-in-law: "Dad, what's going on with that helicopter?"

Guo Muzhou looked out, looked up and said: "It's inconvenient to have no car, I rented it in Vancouver, and the procedures for coming to the United States are troublesome, and it took two days to get the approval paper." ”

"Well, I thought you bought it. ”

"Hey, seven or eight million, why should I buy this. What, want to try it?"

The boy and his father looked at each other and nodded repeatedly, and the old man stood up with a smile and led them out.

The first time I sat here, I saw everything new, Bell 212 has a lot of space, can seat more than ten people, and there is a small bar next to it.

Seeing his grandson's happy appearance, Guo Muzhou smiled, said hello to the pilot in front, and soon after, with a slight shake, the black helicopter gradually rose into the air.

From the window, the ground was hazy, things were getting smaller and smaller, and there seemed to be a figure beckoning.

The boy pointed to the man on the ground and opened his mouth wide.

"Oh, my mother!"
