Chapter 40: The Pasture on a Rainy Day
Waiting for the plane from New York in the morning is still sunny, waiting for Levestown but it rained lightly, Juan has not rained in Montana for so many days, today just came back from New York but encountered a light rain, standing at the airport gate, I regretted a little, did not let the old Thomas come to pick up the airport, the plan in New York a few days ago is to get out of the airport to take a taxi for a while, you can go to the seller who bought a car for the first time, I ordered a GMC by phone has arrived in the store, order GMC because of its large space, One car can seat eight adults, and it won't be the same as the last time Thomas came to pick up the airport, driving two cars to seat the next family.
Ju An waited at the exit of the airport for a while, and did not see a taxi, originally Lewistown population is not much, taxis are basically not a few, sunny days, can basically see, this rain, the same as the country in Jiangnan, a taxi can not be called.
Ju An was about to turn around and go to the hall to get an umbrella, when a car stopped in front of Ju An, and a white man in his forties stuck his head out and said, "Hey! Friend, do you want a ride, it's not easy to wait for a taxi in this weather, if it's not far away, I'll take you there."
Ju An said, "Thank you, I'll go to the car dealership in town." As he spoke, he opened the door and got into the car. When I got into the car, I found that there was a ten-year-old blonde girl sitting in the co-pilot seat of the car.
The girl was looking at Wu Song on Ju An's shoulder with a look of surprise on her face.
Ju An sat down, closed the car door, and listened to the white man's introduction: "My name is Henry, I happened to pick up my daughter Lucy today, she just came back from a trip, in fact, you stand at the door, make a hitchhiking gesture, generally everyone will take a section along the way, you may have just come, not familiar with it."
Ju An smiled and said: "My name is An, the first time I encountered this situation, next time I will know." In fact, when he first came here, Ju An knew that the people here were actually as welcoming as most people living in the countryside in China, and there was no indifference in the big cities. I didn't mean to take a ride, maybe Ju'an had lived in the city for too long.
Then he said to Lucy: "Do you want to hug it, it's very well-behaved, don't catch people."
Lucy said happily, "Is that okay?" ”。
Ju An smiled and said, "Of course." Saying this, Wu Song was lifted off his shoulders and handed it to Lucy in front. Wu Song snorted twice, as if he was still not happy.
Ju An silently despised Wu Song in his heart: I don't have any eyes at all, I have fed you in vain, we will take a ride on other people's cars, what's wrong with you letting people touch them for a while, where is the cleverness at this critical time.
Ignoring Wu Song, who was in Lucy's arms, and then pulled with Henry.
It took about ten minutes to get to the sales store in the town, and after getting out of the car, I thanked Henry and his daughter again.
When I entered the store, the whitebeard shopkeeper had already greeted me: "Ann, long time no see, the car you want has arrived, come and have a look."
As he spoke, he walked with Ju An, next to a big guy, with a black body and a shiny metal-plated metal face with the word GMC in red written on it.
I opened the car door, went up and drove around, and found nothing wrong, so I paid for the car and insurance.
When I returned to the ranch, I found that Nancy was wearing rain gear, driving a small four-wheeler, and a small cart was dragging behind her, and a lot of hay was put on it, and it was being transported to the barn.
Juan asked, "Thomas, what about them?" and Nancy said that she was taking care of the herd.
Juan parked the car in the warehouse, then dragged his suitcase into the house. When I entered the house, I found four little ones eating ice cream on the couch and watching TV.
When the little guy found Wu Song on Ju'an's shoulder, he immediately blew up the nest and wanted to come over to hug Wu Song, who knew that Wu Song was startled, and immediately jumped on the big chandelier on the roof, snort, bared his teeth. Apparently intimidated by the enthusiasm of the little ones.
My mother saw a monkey and complained, "What are you bringing home here, what should you do if you bring a monkey back and scratch the children."
Ju An had no choice but to say to his mother: "This monkey is not stubborn and quite obedient."
Mom pouted and said, "Don't think your mom is so foolish, there are still monkeys in the world" and then said to a few little guys: "Sit down, eat ice cream, don't move the monkeys."
watched the little ones honestly do it on the sofa, holding ice cream in their hands, digging into their mouths, but their eyes were still staring at Wu Song on the chandelier.
Ju An shouted Wu Song, Wu Song came down from the chandelier, squatted on Ju An's shoulder, took a cherry tomato from the table, put it in Wu Song's hand, and put Wu Song on the sofa, the little ones immediately surrounded him, if it wasn't for Ju An's hug, Wu Song might have to run away, comforted Wu Song, and said: "Sit down, don't come around, scare Wu Song, hug one by one, don't feed ice cream, feed fruit."
put Wu Song into little Jerry's arms, Wu Song struggled twice at first, and after Ran Ran got a cherry for Wu Song, he quieted down, and just after eating a cherry, someone sent one, and then completely succumbed to the food. Gradually, he and the four little ones also became warm.
The old mother also put away her worries next to her: "This little monkey is really good."
Ju An said to his mother: "I'll go and see the cattle in the pasture, Mom, pay attention to don't let these little guys be light and heavy."
With that, he walked to the door and changed into high riding boots, put on a cowboy hat, put on a raincoat, and went out.
When I walked to the stable, I found that the rest of the horses were grazing quietly in the small compartment, but Doucao came out of the small compartment and walked back and forth in the passage of the stable.
Then he rubbed Ju'an's back with his big head affectionately, gently patted the neck of the bean grass, combed the long mane of the bean grass with his hands, hugged the big head and said, I'm back, I miss me without the bean grass.
Then say to the bean grass: "Let's go out".
With the bean grass, he walked to the door of the stable, put water on the bean grass, put on the sweat pad, put the saddle on his back, and strangled the belly belt, and the bean grass became excited, and considering the rain, he added a triangular chest belt to the bean grass.
Then he stepped on the bean grass, and as soon as the bean grass raised its front hooves, it jumped up, and then rushed into the rain curtain.
Straddled the back of the bean grass, felt the excitement of the bean grass below, the depression brought by New York was swept away, listening to the sound of the rain hitting the cowboy hat, and the sound of the bean grass stepping on the rain, my chest was comfortable again.
Beangrass ran with all his might, and it didn't take long to see Thomas and them, all three of them were wearing rain gear, sitting on their horses, the cattle had already taken shelter in a small forest to avoid the rain, and several cattle dogs had also taken refuge in the woods.
Seeing Ju'an coming, old Thomas smiled and said, "Back?" It's been a long time since I've been in New York."
Ju An said with a smile: "Some things have been delayed, no matter what, the cow is okay."
Andrew said: "Boss, don't worry, everything is fine with the herd, maybe a new calf will be born in a few days."
"Oh, which one?" Ju An asked happily.
"The other one, the one under the red maple tree, the one that is raising its head," Andrew said, pointing to a cow.
Ju An looked at the three guys who were covered in rain and said, "If you are not busy, change people to go to the house to rest, by the way, can you just leave the cow outside."
Old Thomas smiled and said, "Well, the cattle are not so precious, the grazing pastures are like this, even in winter they are outside the house, and they only go into the animal pen and feed them in the season when there is no pasture."
Ju An smiled and said, "Then I'm relieved, I saw that Nancy drove all the sheep into the barn, thinking that the cattle should also find a place to put them."
Wynne smoked the cigarette in his hand and said with a smile: "Nancy is too precious to her flock of sheep, in fact, there is no problem at all when it is placed outside, this little rain is nothing, and it won't take long to see the weather, it is estimated that the sun will be seen in the afternoon."
Ju An said: "I'll take care of you for a while, you go to the house to have a cup of coffee or something, warm up."
Andrew smiled and said: "No need, this little rain is nothing, if someone wants to drink something, we will go, in fact, now you can look at it a little, it is much easier than the ranch where I used to work, I used to divert water, or something, here I feel that people are comfortable, and such a good pasture, it is really the first time I have seen it, the previous pasture is looking forward to rain, can bring enough rain to the pasture, now I don't feel anything, the ranch I stayed in front of it, it hasn't rained these days, I spend a lot of time fetching water every day, but now it's much easier just looking at the cattle."
Wynne also smiled and said, "Sometimes I feel like I'm more like I'm on a holiday ranch."
After chatting warmly in the rain, Juan rode his horse to see the geese and ducks by the pond, and old Thomas happened to want to go too, so he went together, leaving Wynne and Andrew to continue watching the herd.
By the time the two men had trotted all the way to the pond, the goose and duck had taken refuge in the shed.
Pidan and another dog, seeing Ju An happily greeted him, jumped off the horse, rubbed the heads of the two guys, and found that the two guys were not actually wet, obviously treated much happier than a group of dogs watching the herd, only to find that there was a small slope on one side, presumably the two guys were hiding in it to hide from the rain.
Thomas also went back to the house, boiled a pot of hot coffee, and went out again, and when he returned to the stable, he helped to wipe the rain from the bean grass, so as not to cause any disease, and the bean grass was always more precious than others in his peace of mind.
