"Are you kidding?" Li Yitong firmly believes that he has encountered a nervous disorder. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Eight dollars an hour, this is the basic hourly wage of KFC and McDonald's, even if you work five days a week, eight hours a day, a month's work is less than 1,300 dollars, which is really too low.

Now California has updated its minimum hourly wage to be $15 per hour. In other words, the salary paid by Lu is just over half of California's minimum wage.

Li Yitong deeply felt that the man in front of him must be a psychopath.

Lu Li doesn't know the hourly wage regulations in California, but he knows the hourly wage regulations in New York, and to be honest, wages in Texas are really not high, especially considering the economic status of Texas.

However, now that the overall economy is sluggish, even with low salaries, there are still countless people who cannot find a job, and the unemployment rate is rising every year. As a result, there are many idle "unemployed" people in society.

Li Yitong's reaction was expected, Lu Li didn't panic at all, and shrugged his shoulders, "Sinful capitalism, clams?" Then he showed a smile and walked straight in the direction of the ranch, ignoring Li Yitong who looked stunned next to him, "If you want to leave, the gate is here, I mean, you haven't entered the gate yet." Or do you need me to call a taxi for you? ”

Lu Li's words were relaxed and freehand, always with a hint of lingering mockery, and he decided to make up for it again, "By the way, I forgot to tell you, it's very rude for you to block the passage in and out of the ranch." ”

After finishing speaking, Lu Li paused, and solemnly called him emphasized, "Jack." ”

This was originally a normal title, but in Lu Li's slightly serious and slightly playful words, it became extremely ironic, which made Jack a little annoyed, pulling his suitcase, no longer caring about his leather shoes, and huffing in another direction.

He's going to get out of here, out of this place where birds don't! Get out of this hillbilly hangout! Get out of this damn ranch!

Lu Li walked into the ranch, Brandon walked out of the old warehouse that had not been demolished, raised his chin, and gestured in the direction of Li Yitong's departure, "Are you sure it doesn't matter?" ”

Lu Li didn't have to look back, the stumbling sound of the roller could tell that Li Yitong must be leaving, he stopped and said with a smile, "It's okay, just leave." ”

As for Li Huainan, just tell him, this kind of thing can't be forced, and it's not a labor reform in prison, I believe Li Huainan will understand.

"Wait, he's back again." Brandon raised his chin again, signaled the direction of the visitor, and spoke.

This time, Lu Li turned around and looked at Li Yitong with some surprise. He also thought that what he said just now directly made Li Yitong angry.

Now, Li Yitong is actually back again, or he and Li Huainan have negotiated some deal and have to stay; Or maybe he's having some trouble in Los Angeles and wants to quiet down for a vacation; Or maybe there are other reasons that Lu Li doesn't know and can't guess for the time being.

"A month, I'm only here for a month." Li Yitong looked at Lu Li and said word by word, "I don't have a penny on me now, what work do you need me to do?" Also, where do I live? ”

Lu Li didn't answer immediately, but introduced the two people, "Brandon, this is Jack; Jack, this is Brandon. Brandon was the head of the ranch horses, and the work of the stables was left to him with full authority; Jack is a temporary worker on the ranch in the summer, and he will stay here for a month to relieve our work pressure. ”

According to Li Yitong's request, Lu Li also used "Jack" to make an introduction. Lu Li has no obsession with names, just like his English name "Fourteen", in the final analysis, it is just a name, convenience and catchiness are the most important, since Li Yitong insists that "Jack" is more convenient, then he is also willing to call it like this.

Then, Lu Li pointed to the villa behind him and said to Jack, "This is the house where cowboys live, there are names on the doors of every room, and the one without a name can live, you can go in and put down your luggage, and then come out to work." ”

"Now?" Li Yitong exclaimed uncontrollably, it was already evening, and there was not much time before dinner, it should be time to get off work!

Lu Li shrugged, "Yes, it's now." The commute time at the ranch is special. You should start learning to adapt now. ”

Li Yitong looked at Lu Li, opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything, gritted his teeth fiercely, turned around and walked towards the villa behind, muttering unrecognizable words in his mouth, but judging from the tone, it must be a complaint.

The little guy named Hulk followed step by step, but Li Yitong didn't have time to take care of him, and his steps became faster and faster, which made the little short legs very hard, and he fell behind in a blink of an eye, because of the fast running, the small ass was swaying briskly, which really made people laugh.

Li sent him over just now, put him down directly, and left without saying anything. Oh, and the little one. Brandon looked at Li Yitong's back and said simply, which made Lu Li suddenly realize, no wonder Li Yitong stood alone in the middle of the road, Lu Li still wondered, if there was no car, how did he come here, and he also had a dog. So, how do you deal with this? ”

Lu Li thought about it seriously and said seriously, "Have you seen the 'Full Metal Shell'?" In the first half of the movie, in the boot camp, the devil training of the instructors directly made the recruits completely collapse, from physical to mental. Well, I'm asking you to do that right now. ”

Brandon looked at Lu Li, and after confirming his thoughts, a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded, "It's not difficult. ”

Brandon pointed in the direction of the stable, "Exactly, I'm going to brush the horses today." By the way, Jessica is now cleaning up the manure in the cattle pen, and last week she was busy with the organic farm, so she didn't have time, and today's scene was a bit bloody. ”

Lu Li held back the smile on the corner of his mouth and nodded, "By the way, tell the others that anyone who needs help is welcome to call him." ”

Brandon nodded meaningfully, "Then I need to hurry, I still have a lot of work today, and if it's too late, I won't be able to grab it." ”

After saying that, Brandon walked quickly in the direction of the villa, and shouted in a rough voice, "Jack? Jack? Dear Jack, it's time for work, don't grind any more. Staying in the room, it's not going to make any money, and don't forget, today's dinner hasn't been settled yet. Only hard work will not go hungry. Jack? I'm not a patient person, don't make me wait too long here for the last five seconds! ”

Lu Li looked at Brandon with interest, he had never seen such a Brandon. If you think about it carefully, but you don't think it's strange, Texans, rude and primitive, fiery and powerful Texans, if they are full of firepower, it is estimated that people in other states will be difficult to parry, let alone foreigners. In particular, their words are vague and powerful, and many times they don't hear what the other party is saying clearly, and they fall behind in a daze.

Li Yitong really didn't fit in, and walked out in a hurry, he didn't even have time to change his leather shoes, so he ran out all the way; Behind him is still followed by the tail that can't be shaken off.

Brandon still didn't want to give up, shook his head, his face full of dissatisfaction, and walked quickly to lead the way, shouting, "There is work left unfinished in the sheepfold, the cattle pen, and the stables, and now that dinner is less than three hours away, no one wants to go hungry, does it?" ”

Li Yitong glared at Lu Li fiercely, as if to say: I will never admit defeat, and I will never stay!

However, before he could communicate further, Brandon's shout came again, "Quick! This made Li Yitong have no way to stay any longer, and trotted all the way to chase after him, but the little guy still followed quickly, but at this time Li Yitong really didn't have time to take care of him, just shouted, "Don't follow." No. Then he ran away at a brisk pace.

The little guy followed for a short time, and then found that he couldn't keep up, or heard the master's reprimand, his footsteps stopped, stood in place, motionless looking at the direction Li Yitong left, the master's back disappeared in the corner of the garden in a blink of an eye, but he was still unwilling to leave, and gradually became a wangfu stone, standing in place in a daze, waiting, waiting.

Lu Li looked at the back of the little guy, and the figure of Teddy immediately appeared in his mind, and he could only sigh softly. Although he wanted to help a little, he didn't know how to start, and besides, are all dog habits? Even if he did, it would have had very limited effect. What's more, he's still a stranger.

So, Lu Li retracted his gaze, walked over to the Raptor parked on the side of the road, drove the car in, and temporarily parked in the temporary parking lot next to the lake - the original parking lot had been merged and converted into a warehouse. Therefore, now everyone has temporarily parked their cars next to the lake, and when the construction is completed, Lu Li plans to put the parking lot on the south side of the stable, although it is a little farther away, but at least it will not destroy the original scenery of the lake.

After parking the car, Lu Li walked back slowly, and then saw the little guy who was still standing in place, without any movement, as if he was really petrified.

Lu Li originally wanted to go back to the main house directly, but standing in the garden, his steps couldn't continue to take a step. He knows it's not something he's good at, but having lived on the ranch for a few months and spent most of his time working with animals, maybe he could try to be a little more proactive now.

Especially looking at that sad little fart/stock.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Li turned around and walked outside the fence.
