After breakfast in the morning, Xiao Feng and Xiao Jinyang drove out two F150s and sent Guo Yiyan and others to Helena Airport, where there was a flight to New York at 10 o'clock this morning.

Compared with China, air transportation in the United States is more developed, and small cities with tens of thousands of residents like Helena also have direct flights to New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and other big cities. Of course, most of the flights on these routes are small and medium-sized passenger aircraft such as Airbus A320 and Boeing 737, which are not too comfortable, but cheaper.

In fact, because of the highly developed air transport industry in the United States, the extensive highway network, and the vigorous automobile culture, the train passenger business in the United States has shrunk to the limit, which is in stark contrast to China.

In the United States, ordinary people go out either by flight, or by themselves, and most of them can only hope for rail transit, like in China.

…………

Looking at Xu Mengyao, Xue Lihua and the two children who were waving at the gate of the ranch, Guo Yiyan felt a feeling of reluctance suddenly emerge from his heart.

After coming to the United States for two years, Guo Yiyan did not go home in order to save money on air tickets, although she was occasionally able to video with her parents on the Internet, but her thoughts were always indelible.

In the past two days in the 'Dream Ranch', Xue Lihua and even the Xiao family's warm hospitality to Guo Yiyan made him feel the warmth of his family, and naturally developed feelings.

If it weren't for the school to open, Guo Yiyan would like to continue to stay in the 'Dream Ranch' for a while!

Xue Lihua has made an appointment with Guo Yiyan to come to the ranch at Christmas, and take the 'Nini' back to China during the Spring Festival.

"Yanzi, come to the ranch to play when the school holidays are over, anyway, the plane tickets in the United States are cheap!" Xiao Feng said to Guo Yiyan while skillfully playing the steering wheel: "You remember my brother's phone number." Call if you're in trouble in New York!"

Xiao Feng naturally saw the enthusiasm of his parents for Guo Yiyan, of course, in order to take care of Guo Yiyan's self-esteem, Xiao Feng naturally did not need to take care of it. In some necessary places, providing help is what Xiao Feng can do.

"Thank you, Brother Xiaofeng!" Guo Yiyan is not a person who twists. Nodding his head, he agreed earnestly.

In the past two days, Guo Yiyan has learned about the 'Jinghu Group' and Xiao Feng's situation through the Internet, and it is very rare to know that Xiao Feng's commitment is very rare.

In the United States, the power of the consortium is unimaginable to ordinary people, and the good relationship between the 'Mirror Lake Group' and the Walton family and the Morgan family is enough for Xiao Feng to have enough contacts and influence in the United States.

…………

Thirty miles were fleeting, and two F150s roared to a halt in front of the humble concourse of Helena Airport, attracting a lot of attention.

For Lao Mei. The luxury cars of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi may not be able to conquer them, but muscle cars like the F150 are the most in line with the rugged aesthetics of the United States and have extremely high popularity.

After getting out of the car, Guo Yiyan and the others all got a small box from the Xiao family, which was filled with some Xiao Feng. , Xue Lihua's handmade dried goods, bacon and other delicacies.

Because they had a deep impression of the Xiao family's various delicacies in the past two days, they didn't shirk and accepted it with a smile.

When passing through the security check, Guo Yiyan found that there was an Apple iPhone 5S and an iPad in his box. A wave of emotion welled up in my heart.

In the past two days, Xu Mengyao saw that Guo Yiyan was still using an old feature phone. Because I was worried that the little girl would refuse to give it to her in person, I simply put the new products left over from the last sweep in Los Angeles into the box and made it a fait accompli.

Xu Mengyao herself is also a person who has studied in the United States, and she knows that it is not easy for overseas students, not to mention that Guo Yiyan, a little girl, is constantly striving for self-improvement, which makes her have a good impression.

…………

Xiao Feng and his son didn't stay at the airport for long. When Guo Yiyan and the others entered the airport hall, they drove away and returned to the ranch.

Today is Sunday, and they have promised Nini to take her to the small lake of the ranch to take a boat. I can't break my promise.

In fact, as the affairs of the ranch are on the right track, most of the Xiao family's time and energy revolve around the two dolls, which is also the norm in every family.

When they returned to the ranch, it was exactly ten o'clock, and the little girl and Yu'er couldn't wait any longer, standing on the steps of the castle in anticipation.

'Dream Lake' is about 20 kilometers away from 'Maple Leaf Castle', although it can be reached by car, but because it is an easy road, the speed is not too fast, so Xiao Feng decided to have a picnic by the lake with his family today.

When they returned home, his mother and wife had already prepared all kinds of camping equipment and ingredients, and Xiao Feng only needed to carry them to the F150 body one by one, and then he was ready to go.

In order to avoid the impact of asphalt, cement, heavy metals and various chemicals on the pasture, the roads in the pasture are basically the most rudimentary dirt and stone roads, and only pickup trucks with high chassis and high horsepower can adapt to such road conditions.

Fortunately, because of the nourishment of the 'Space Spirit Spring' and the vigorous vitality of the 'Space Ranch', many roads are paved with pasture, and there will be no smoke billowing out.

Xiao Feng drove the car, looking at the rolling grassland, and had to deal with various problems of the two dolls in his ears, although he was a little tired, but he was also happy.

Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao have already decided that when Yu'er baby can go to kindergarten next year, they will have another child.

For Chinese people, if conditions permit, they naturally hope that the more children the better, and the concept of 'more children and more blessings' has been deeply imprinted in the blood.

Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao are not civil servants in Huaxia, and the birth of a child in the United States will not violate the republic's family planning policy, and the Xiao family's economy is not in difficulty.

In fact, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao decided to go to the United States, in addition to the career development of the 'Jinghu Group', children are also a very important factor.

When the car stopped at the small hill by the lake, even though he had seen it several times before, Xiao Feng couldn't help but be stunned by the beautiful scenery in front of him!

'Dream Lake' was not originally called this name, but after the establishment of 'Dream Ranch'. It's what the ranch cowboys call it, and it's been going on.

Covering an area of more than 10,000 acres, the 'Dream Lake' is more than ten times larger than the Mirror Lake, and the vast water surface is as far as the eye can see, and it looks extremely spectacular. The 'Dream Lake' is connected to the Missouri River, and it has pure water as a source of living water. From a distance, it looks like a large carpet of emerald inlaid green.

Because of the large amount of fishery resources brought from the Missouri River, which has made it a place for a large number of migratory birds to stay, Xiao Feng saw a large flock of North American snow geese foraging on the meadows by the lake.

The roar of the engine did not disturb the foraging of these snow geese, they just looked up, and then lowered their heads to graze, looking calm.

It's early September, and the snow geese need to be as nutritious as possible and store enough fat until winter arrives. to have enough energy to take the young birds out of the north and winter in southern California.

Snow geese are staunch vegetarians with hard beaks that are good for digging into the roots of underground plants, so they will be able to find enough food as long as there is grass.

"Grandpa, grandma, hurry up!" Nini and Yu'er shouted as soon as they got out of the car!

Every time they came to the lake, the two little ones were used to feeding the snow geese, so they ran to the snow geese as soon as they got out of the car. Mom and Dad carried plastic buckets full of corn for them in the back.

Because she ran too quickly, Yu'er fell on the grass. He turned over several times, but the little one got up as if nothing happened, shouted for his sister to wait for him, and ran up again.

Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao looked at their son's strong expression, looked at each other and smiled, and even the action of preparing lunch couldn't help but speed up a little.

Before getting married. Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao have both read some reports and think that children nowadays are loved and even doted on by too many people, and it is easy to develop an arrogant personality. The wealth of the Xiao family determines that the children are born with fine clothes and food, and how to cultivate the children's good character and quality has become the biggest problem in front of Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao.

After getting married. The two especially called the elders of the two families together and asked them to be as strict as possible in the education of their children, so as to cultivate their independent and strong personalities.

Especially Yu'er, as a boy, is strictly required in many aspects, and slowly, his manly temperament is also quite strong, which also makes Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao secretly proud.

The parents were taking the children to feed the snow geese, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao first set up the camping tent and tableware, and then took out the fishing rod to prepare for fishing!

Because of its connection to the Missouri River, the 'Dream Lake' has countless fishery resources, and Xiao Feng has even seen large carp with a body length of more than one meter, which is a good wild material and is rare in China.

Lao Mei doesn't like to eat fish with many spines, which is destined to flood the North American continent with strong vitality of Asian carp, and they have even become a thorn in the side of the American government!

In the United States, Asian carp generally refers to eight species of fish that are native to Asia, including bighead fish, herring, grass carp and silver carp. In the 70s of the last century, in order to keep aquaculture facilities clean, the American government imported Asian carp from Southeast Asia and put it into some aquaculture lake areas in southern America for clean water bodies.

More than a decade later, when floods hit the southern Lake District of the United States, Asian carp took the opportunity to flee to wild rivers to breed in abundance. According to 2011 statistics from the U.S. government, Asian carp already account for more than 95 percent of biomass in some parts of the country.

According to American media reports, if Asian carp enter the Great Lakes, they will compete with their original species for food and space, and will greatly reduce the number of fish that are of great value to fishermen, and will also cause significant losses to the $7 billion a year of commercial fishing in the Great Lakes region. Asian carp breed in abundance in the Mississippi River basin and also affect 40 percent of the continental United States in 31 states.

Asian carp makes Lao Mei very nervous, and on the official website of the United States Department of Agriculture, a manual prepared by the American Asian Carp Regional Committee mentions: Do not hold live Asian carp; Do not carry Asian carp for transstate operations; Even if it is a dead Asian carp, do not throw it into new water.

In order to prevent Asian carp from breeding everywhere and destroying the local ecological environment, the American government and even the people have racked their brains, but they still cannot prevent the Asian carp from flooding the North American continent.

Today, the Missouri River is home to an abundance of Asian carp, which is a huge headache for the local government!

The Montana government even funded the public to fish for Asian carp for consumption, but with little success, because Lao Mei believed that Asian carp had a strong earthy smell, and the spiny Asian carp did not conform to Lao Mei's eating habits.

However, for the Chinese people, this wild carp is simply a gift from heaven, and the Chinese cowboys who live in the 'Dream Ranch' are overjoyed!

Just when Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao started fishing, several ranch cowboys who were on vacation also drove to the lake to fish.

Xiao Feng found that in addition to the three Chinese cowboys, there were also two foreigners, and it seemed that as long as they tasted the taste of chopped pepper fish head and boiled fish, even Lao Mei would fall in love with this taste.

In fact, the number of Asian carp in the Missouri River and 'Dream Lake' is relatively small, and it is said that on the Illinois River, where the most Asian carp are most flooded, there are no people playing water sleds or boating anymore, because frightened Asian carp can easily jump out of the water and cause 'traffic accidents'.

Over the years, the flooding of Asian carp in the United States has also become a hot topic of domestic media coverage, and even many companies have begun to target this market, but there has not been much progress.

Chinese people are more able to accept fresh fish, and the cost of imported Asian carp is not low, and it is frozen, so it naturally cannot be favored by domestic consumers.

Over the years, the U.S. government has invested a lot of money and resources to reduce the infestation of Asian carp on the waters of the Great Lakes, but the results have been mediocre.

Some domestic netizens laughed that the American government might as well provide funds to Chinese tourists, pay for air tickets and accommodation, and call on Chinese people to eat Asian carp in the United States, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!

The talk around the topic of Asian carp has made the Internet and the media quite lively, but it has not had much impact on the whole of the 'Dream Ranch'.

Everyone has become accustomed to going to the lake to fish when they have free time, and even driving a boat to the lake to 'shoot fish', and the Asian carp caught can be feasted! This activity has become an important direction for ranch cowboys to pass the spare time, and everyone is tired of it.

In China, wild Asian carp are basically sold for about 30 RMB/kg, but in the United States, they can be caught casually without any formalities or permits, which is in stark contrast to other protected fish.

Sometimes, the same thing, under different civilizations, will have completely different consequences! (To be continued......
