The days flew by, and a week passed in the blink of an eye. [Ji Xin also went back early, the practice was for Thomas to pick up the plane, and the old cowboy stepped forward to give a full hug as soon as they met, and then glanced at the quiet Lisa and winked: "Ji, why did you come back so early?" But there is a ** family who will eventually become a family, and you have a wish now? ”

"No, the revolution has not yet succeeded, there is still a big pillbox on the British side that has not been captured, and a ** enemy straggler has not been completely wiped out, but I already have a big killing weapon in my hand, hehe" Ji Xin was happy in his heart, but he was very modest.

It's a pity that Lisa didn't give him a chance, hearing that this person said that love is a war and attacking the mountain, where he still doesn't understand that the big killer means cutting first and then playing, and the little hand is ready to move, Ji Xin hurriedly expressed his attitude, "Of course, determination and sincerity are the most important, my husband sees that I and Lisa really love each other, and I won't be too embarrassed to think about it." ”

"Well, that's just like the words" Lisa's outstretched hand changed the direction to help Ji Xin tidy up his crumpled coat, and quietly changed the topic, "In fact, if you stay in a big city for a long time, you will feel bored." It's better to come back and be comfortable, there is no entertainment, and you don't have to spend time and bother to dress up, the blue sky, white clouds, cattle and sheep, and pastures are simply a landscape painting, and there are all kinds of pasture scenery and pastoral scenery. ”

"It's like the proprietress Lisa everyone knows in town, at first Nancy told me that you are a noble girl, and you may not come back in the future, I still don't believe it?" Thomas took the time to give a thumbs up.

Ji Xin also nodded sympathetically: "The first time I saw Lisa, I thought she was a native orthodox cowboy?" Especially when she was a teacher, she knew this land in such detail, hehe"

The three of them chatted, and soon Ji Xin saw his pasture, it was winter, but on both sides of the wide and flat highway, a piece of green could be vaguely seen, and there was no bounding savannah, patches of woods, and herds of cattle or sheep grazing on the grass. The herd is white, black, brown-red and mixed colors, and the flock is white with goats and sheep. It's beautiful!

When I got closer, I found a simple wooden door standing at the border, and a few big words on the placard were "Great Smoky Mountain Ranch", Ji Xin touched his chin and was a little dissatisfied, but my buddy is also a big landowner, this brand is too embarrassing, not to mention inlaid with gold and silver, it has to be made tall and majestic.

However, Lisa didn't come back for a while, and at this time she asked in surprise, "Xin, this is also your land?" ”

"It's ours! Some time ago, I did a little favor to others, and the small farm and the blackberry ranch in this neighborhood belong to us now, but everything is complicated, and we haven't completely sorted it out. ”

Thomas also slowed down at the right time to make it easier for the proprietress to enjoy the scenery, but this trail is indeed not as comfortable as running at high speeds, and the car will be damaged when pressed on the grass, no wonder many ranches like all-terrain vehicles? That guy can afford to toss, but Jinzao will be fine.

Ji Xin was not very comfortable sitting in the big wild horse, so he remembered another thing, "Lao Tuo, don't you let Blackberry take care of repairing the road, just deal with this place too." ”

"Well, I'll go back and discuss with Roger, seeing that the day when the cattle will be slaughtered is not far away, and the money lost from the pasture will be enough to repair a small road in the future" Thomas didn't feel that the boss was spending money indiscriminately, but was very supportive, "It's just that the construction team is not easy to find at this time, from the manager to the technicians, they are all on vacation?" ”

Ji Xin has a little pain, these old beauties are really rich and free. "Well, didn't we negotiate hiring Mexicans or Chinese construction teams last time? Is this money still not spent? ”

"......" Thomas opened his lips and did not speak.

Lisa pulled Ji Xin, who had a childish temper, and explained in a low voice, "Every year when it comes to holidays, white people will rest, and a large market share will be ceded to other foreign teams." It is common for spare tires to be turned positive, and supply exceeds demand. ”

Only then did Ji Xin understand why the old man was so taboo, these things can be regarded as a manifestation of Laomei's racial discrimination strictly speaking, the locals pay attention to human rights, all kinds of holidays, all kinds of high salaries, and usually only the rest of them can be handed over to others to grab food, and outsiders rely on hardships and hard work. But the reality is that although he is not used to it, he can only help as much as he can within the ranch.

Thomas glanced at Lisa gratefully, "Ji, there probably won't be too many idle workers in the town, I'll go to the city to find some small companies in the next two days, but the price will be higher." ”

"Then I'll trouble you, Thomas," Lisa ended the conversation by exercising hostess power.

……

Ji Xin also knew that his awkwardness was meaningless, but fortunately, Thomas was quite tolerant of these. After calming down, he acquiesced to Lisa's decision, no longer caring about this matter, and concentrating on accompanying his lover to enjoy the days of return.

The ranch is its own nest, and the slow-paced life is comfortable.

Although the Christmas atmosphere in the big city has gradually dissipated, the cowboys in the small town in the ranch are still celebrating at their own pace, and even the house where Ji Xin lives has been newly decorated, the most surprising thing for him is the Christmas tree in the living room that is as high as a window, I have long heard that the real pine tree is placed at home, and the whole house will be filled with the fragrance of pine trees, as if in the forest, Ji Xin tried to take a deep breath and desperately imagine the taste of pine trees.

"When I was in Los Angeles, I could only buy well-made plastic trees in the supermarket that were already full of small lanterns, and they looked bright, but they gradually lost their original meaning, and I regretted that I couldn't find them back when I got home."

Nancy spoke up: "Real pine trees need soil and water, and they need to be taken care of every day, and if they don't get it right, they will make the carpet dirty, not good, too troublesome." "Surreal words, all of a sudden, ruined Ji Xin's boundless imagination, she is good at everything, but she lacks poetic cells. Of course, considering that Nancy was in charge of cleaning during her absence, she didn't say anything about it.

As for Lisa, she was fascinated by the two little black dogs that rushed out from the moment she entered the door, even if it had been a long time, they seemed to remember the smell of the hostess who brought them back at the beginning, and barked at Ji Xin a few times, and played at Lisa's feet, rolling, or pretending to be dead......

Ji Xin looked at Lisa speechlessly teasing the dogs, didn't he also take out a bag of beef jerky**, he felt that he had just met before he had this treatment, the cuteness of the preserved eggs was too lethal, and the last time the old sister came, she couldn't pet it, and after returning to China, she also raised a small pet, and Ran Ran often had to discuss the nutritional match of dog food with her uncle on the phone!
