Chapter 41: Harvesting the Grass

When Ju'an got up in the morning, Wu Song also got up, Wu Song's small bed is a leather hammock woven by Huaien with cowhide, cut the cowhide into a finger-wide strip of leather, and then cross braiding, after the whole small hammock is completed, on the edge of the surrounding area, leaving a circle of leather tassels, the whole is very beautiful, even the mother praised Huai'en for his ingenuity.

Juan is very satisfied with the work of the old Thomas family and Nancy, basically several people belong to the kind of work that has no work to do, and the old Thomas is empty and looks around the pasture, looking at the poultry house, cattle and sheep, and now basically every cow, old Thomas can talk about it. Andrew and Wynne will weave some lassoes in the warehouse during the day, and even make some water reins or something by themselves, looking at what is lacking in the ranch, there will be some work in hand, Nancy is carefully taking care of every sheep, and will also help cut some cowhide or something during the day.

After getting up, a person and a monkey brushed their teeth, ate breakfast, went straight to the greenhouse, pulled out two carrots and handed them to Wu Song, Wu Song quickly swung twice in the pool, and then, Ju An walked in front with his hands behind his back, Wu Song followed behind with two carrots, once he was seen by his mother, and commented that Ju An was like a small village cadre, and Wu Song followed the dog's legs, making his sister laugh for a few days.

When I arrived at Ma Xuan, I put out the bean grass and snowflakes, the old rules brush the horse, buckle the hooves, the bean grass has a bad temper, every day Wu Song feeds the carrots, the bean grass eats in his mouth, but he doesn't wait to see Wu Song, only the snowflakes have a good temper, so that Wu Song can jump on the back, take a brush, brush the back hair, Wu Song on the back of the bean grass, it must be jumping and biting, there is no time to live.

Brush the horse, put on the saddle, ready to run two laps, since the first day after Ju'an came back, after discovering Wu Song's horseback talent, he put on two sets of saddles every day, Wu Song will ride snowflakes, and Wu Song belongs to the standard reinless horse-riding, only need to tie the reins of the snowflakes to the column head, Wu Song can control the snowflakes through the call, although Wu Song is on the saddle, the upper limbs hold the stigma, and the posture of squatting on it is not beautiful, but it is undeniable that people sit steadily, and the balance thief is good.

Just stepped on the bean grass, and after riding for a while, I saw my father, brother-in-law and sister riding back in the morning, and my father's horse was in front of the well-behaved grandson Ranran, and my sister was sitting in front of the horse with a leather monkey with swaying legs.

Ran Ran saw Ju An beckoning and said obediently: "Little uncle, morning."

Before Ju An could reply, Wu Song stood on Xuehua's back, and also learned to wave and snort twice.

As soon as Tongtong saw Ju An, he shaved his red little face with his hand and said, "Uncle Xiao and Wu Song are big lazy worms, they got up so late, and they got up later than Tongtong."

Ju An shook his head: "Uncle Xiao is not only lazy, but also doesn't remember his surname well, maybe one day when he goes to the supermarket in the town, he forgets ice cream or something."

Tongtong immediately puffed out his cheeks and said, "Little uncle, big villain."

Ignoring this, Dad said to Ju'an: "Didn't Thomas say today that he would mow the grass and keep it for the winter, when will it start, we will also go to see it."

Juan said: "It will be a while, until they have settled the herd, and we will have to check the tractor or something."

After Dad finished speaking, he urged the horse forward, and my sister and brother-in-law also laughed and beat the horse to keep up with Dad, and when I walked over, Tongtong also made a grimace at Ju An.

After a lap on horseback, he unloaded the saddle of snowflakes and bean grass, and put the two guys into the herd and moved freely.

When I arrived at the warehouse, I found that the old Thomas had moved the tractor out and was reversing the car.

Dad and brother-in-law and Andrew are moving the big lawn mower vigorously, nearly six meters wide big guy, fortunately this big guy still has seven or eight wheels, if not these three people really can't move, the tiger head and garlic head are wagging their tails to follow Ran Ran and Tongtong, from time to time on the ground with something to eat, just go over to take a look, the two little guys are holding a beef bun in their hands and gnawing it, I saw Ran Ran put a piece of semi-fat beef, the fat meat bit off and spit it on the ground, was picked up by the tiger's head, chewed up.

Ju An hurriedly went up and took a hand, and the four of them worked together to move the lawn mower sideways, and then, waiting for old Thomas, to pull the tractor over.

Andrew motioned for everyone to disperse, and then instructed Old Thomas to reverse the tractor, and when the tractor was in position, Old Thomas jumped off the tractor and helped everyone pull the hook of the lawn mower and hang it on the towing hook behind the tractor. After hanging up, connect several thick control cables from the lawn mower to the cab of the tractor.

When everything was ready, just as he was about to leave, he saw old Taylor driving Jerry and Emily in his beat-up Toyota pickup.

Putting down the two little ones, Taylor said goodbye to everyone after a few words, it turned out that his pasture had also begun to prepare for the winter, and they had been mowing for two days.

Juan and his brother-in-law, and Andrew all drove on four wheels this time, and a few little ones yelled to follow, and finally old Thomas put them all into the cab of the tractor and sat on the big cover of the two rear wheels, but fortunately it was a big tractor with wheels similar to that of adults, if it weren't for the fact that they really couldn't fit these little guys.

The group took the garlic and the tiger's head, drove for a while, and then arrived at the grassland selected by the old Thomas, where a large area of relatively flat grassland, the grass is rising, so it is needless to say, the space is produced, it must be a good grass.

Old Thomas listened to the tractor and picked up the little ones one by one, and Ju An and his party stopped the quadricycle, and the little ones immediately ran on the four wheels and played on them, while the tiger head and the garlic head circled around the four wheels.

Thomas drove the tractor and tried to cut a few times, and then Andrew adjusted the height of the mowing again, and then began to mow, and there was basically no matter for the rest of the people.

Juan walked to the cut grass, looked carefully, the cut grass was neatly upside down to the middle, to a row of grass mats, Andrew also followed, picked up a piece of grass and said: "If you dry a little, you can tie them into a ball with a baler, and then wait for the shade to dry, and then you can put them in the barn."

Juan asked, "How much are we going to cut?"

Andrew pointed to this large piece of grass and said: "This one, there is another piece of similar place, basically cut back and forth three or four times in each place, more storage points, be prepared."

While we were chatting, I suddenly heard little Jerry shouting, "Rabbit! ”。

As soon as Juan turned around, he saw a gray rabbit coming out of the grass, and when he saw that old Thomas had turned his head in a tractor.

As soon as Jerry shouted, the tiger head and the garlic head had already rushed up, and the two dogs chased after the rabbit, and the four little ones also got down from the four wheels to cheer the tiger head and the garlic head.

After a while, the little rabbit was picked up by the garlic and thrown at Ju'an's feet, Ju'an picked up the rabbit and looked at it, but the skin was not even bitten, but the whole head drooped down, it is estimated that it was bitten by the garlic, broke the neck, touched the garlic's head and praised it, and handed the rabbit to Ran Ran: "Cheer up, catch a few, and let grandma make braised rabbit meat for you at night."

The little ones immediately came to their senses, stood on the quad bike together and stretched their necks, looking around, even Wu Song learned to open his head, and Ju'an looked at a few groundhogs that were out of the hole to explore the wind.

After Andrew changed Thomas and went up to cut a few rounds, Ju An, his brother-in-law and his father also tried to go up and cut a few rounds.

At noon, my sister drove the four wheels and brought lunch to everyone, that is, two pots of hot coffee and tea, and then a large pot of stewed beef, and more than 20 small cakes.

After lunch, the little ones took the tiger head and the garlic head, and caught two more rabbits, and even a wild duck that ran from nowhere.

Old Thomas, after watching for a while, went with the wild ducks and a few rabbits that had been bitten to death, and packed up for the evening tooth sacrifice, and said to the little ones as he went, that these things were enough for the night, and that the tiger and the garlic were not to be chased after the animals.

When Ju An was watching his father drive a tractor and mow the grass, he suddenly heard little Jerry shouting, "Look, Red-tailed Eagle." As soon as Ju'an looked up, he saw two white dots in the sky circling, Ju'an often saw eagles when he came here, the common one is the bald eagle, which is the national bird of the United States, and he has seen the golden eagle, and from time to time he will see one in the sky, the eagle is circling, so the chicken nest, everything has to be watched by dogs, and it is these guys who are guarded.

As for the red-tailed eagle that little Jerry shouted, it was the first time he saw it, and he saw two white dots hovering cross, one suddenly swooped down, then flew up again, and then flew away.

As for what it looked like, Ju An didn't see it clearly at all. When I asked little Jerry, I knew that red-tailed eagles generally appear in pairs, with white and black spots on their bodies, red and yellow tails, and some red chests.

When I came home from work in the evening, the fragrant braised rabbit meat and the roast rabbit that Old Thomas showed his hand to, as well as the potato roast duck pieces, made everyone eat comfortably. Dad also said nostalgically, I haven't eaten wild rabbit meat for a long time, I often saw wild rabbits when I was a child, but now they are gone, and some are also domestic rabbits, and they don't taste good.
