The two went all the way to a cowshed a few hundred meters north of the workers' house, and said hello to the five cowboys who were in charge of night duty, and everyone went their separate ways to check if the doors and windows were not closed.

After some inspection, Qin Yi and Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, the doors and windows were closed tightly, and they felt it in the cowshed, the temperature was more than ten degrees, such a temperature was already a very good condition for the cattle.

There was plenty of forage and hay for heating, so it was no problem to survive the blizzard.

Ryan instructed the cowboys to provide the herd with warm water one more time.

Seeing the half-grown calves drinking water quietly, everyone was very happy, these calves are the hope for the future of the ranch!

Not only does Qin Yi's income count on these calves, but the cowboys also rely on these calves to live. Because of the precedent of the vineyard, Qin Yi also implemented a year-end bonus system in the ranch, and similarly, 1% of the ranch income is used as a year-end bonus for all employees.

As a result, cowboys work more seriously and passionately.

In fact, cowboys work hard, not only in terms of salary, but also about reputation.

As cowboys with little education and only herding, they will hardly do any other work in their lives, and if the rancher suffers losses due to negligence in their work, it will be very bad for their reputation.

No one will want to hire such a cowboy!

Therefore, considering all aspects, cowboys will do their jobs seriously.

After inspecting this cowshed, Qin Yi and Ryan went back, and the other cowsheds were far away, so they could only call the cowboy on duty at night, so that everyone could check it carefully, and add some warm water by the way.

Back in the main house, it was already more than an hour later, when Susa and Sara were two. was watching cartoons with the little girl, and when she saw Qin Yi coming back, one went to prepare hot water, let him wash his hands and face, and the other went to prepare hot tea.

Qin Yi, who ran a lap, such a scene made him feel warm.

Time flowed quickly in this warm atmosphere, and soon it was time to go to bed, and on a snowy day, the little girl had no chance to play in the water under the supervision of Susa. However, with Qin Yi's story, she was still satisfied and fell asleep quickly.

Qin Yi and the three of them also slept separately, the small animals in the house slept deeply around the fireplace, their bellies rose and fell, and there was a crackling sound from time to time in the fireplace, but it was even quieter.

The night of heavy snow passed quietly.

Early the next morning, Qin Yi was woken up by the brightness outside the window. Forgot to close the curtains yesterday.

At this time, the outside was covered in silver, and under the reflection, it was brighter than before. At first glance, my eyes stinged.

As the night passed, the snow had weakened a lot, and there were small snowflakes in small pieces. It's falling so much, it's not as good as the light snow of last Thanksgiving.

Today, however, the ground is covered with snow. Squinting at it, the snow on the side of the stable wall in the distance was roughly half a meter deep!

The cowboys have already gotten up and are sweeping the snow on the roof, nearly half a meter thick of snow, if it is not cleared, the pressure on the house is too great, the snowstorm has not completely passed, if there is another wave of this level of snow, it can collapse the roof!

After washing and coming downstairs, the little girl had already gotten up, and was "playing" with the little animals sleeping by the fireplace, to be precise, adding to the chaos, touching the little fox's head, scratching Teddy's big belly, provoking a few little ones who didn't wake up to stretch out their paws to push, and then turn over and continue to sleep!

Qin Yi came downstairs, and the little girl immediately let go of the little animal and jumped up and ran towards him, "Uncle Yi!" You're up late! ”

Qin Yi has a black line, it is only 6 o'clock in the morning, and it is not too late to get up at this time in winter.

It's rare for a little girl to get up earlier than herself, and she despises herself!

But fortunately, Angel didn't dwell on this topic, and was about to go out with him, shouting: "Uncle Yi, let's go build a snowman!" And calf sledding! ”

Today, the little girl is wearing her own clothes, with tasseled calfskin boots, a small pink scarf and a light blue down jacket, I don't know how much effort it takes, but the clothes are quite neat, unlike before, either the wrong laces or the wrong buttons, a lot of progress.

"Angel, Uncle still needs to clear the snow, go and call Mom and Aunt Sara to get up and let them play with you."

Qin Yi didn't use any force, so she was pulled out of the door by the little girl, but the words in her mouth made the little girl stop, she tilted her head and blinked her big eyes twice, "Then I'll help Uncle Yi!" ”

After speaking, he pedaled back to the house, and after a while, he came out wearing a pair of small gloves with plush balls on the backs of his hands, and a plastic shovel in his little hands, which was going to help Qin Yi shovel snow!

Qin Yi smiled and didn't refuse, took the little girl to the warehouse, took out a big shovel, and began to clean up the snow around the house, on the lawn and on the road, wait until later, you still have to use a snow plow to clean up, half a meter thick snow, pure handwork, with Qin Yi's physical strength, he will be tired and half dead!

The snow around the house and under the porch is still easier to clean by hand.

The gloves he wears, which Ricky helped him sew two days ago, are finely made, the leather is soft, and the things in his hands are more flexible, very handy.

In the distance, the cowboys were cleaning the workers' houses and stables, and in the distance, there were a few small black spots in the cowshed, and it was the cowboys who were on night duty, who had already gotten up to work.

On such a snowy day, there is naturally no need to go out to graze, and the cowboys are a little leisurely, and they can drink a glass of wine around the fire.

Of course, after clearing the snow and feeding the calves!

Now the grass in the pasture has grown very slowly, after all, no matter how the spiritual spring water is against the sky, it is not a miracle medicine, and the impact will eventually have a limit, and now this kind of weather can keep the grass from drying up, and it has become a miracle around the Great Falls City!

However, when the snow melts, it is also possible to come out to graze, but it is necessary to grasp the scale, if the grass grows too slowly and cannot keep up with the speed of cattle consumption, then these crisp and tender grasses will be eaten a little less.

It seems that from now on, it will be time to feed silage as well.

It's already good, and it's better to come out and graze once every day or two than on other ranches, where you spend the whole day in the cowshed in the winter.

Qin Yi took the little girl to clean up the snow under the porch, Susa and Sara also came out, the two of them were thickly dressed, found a shovel, and joined Qin Yi's snow shoveling team, and after a while, they were covered in sweat, and they exercised more than running in the morning!

At this time, Ryan took a staggering step and moved over in the snow half a meter deep, "Yi, I opened the snow just now and looked, the grass is fine, but after this snow, I'm afraid that the grass will stop growing!" ”

"It can't be helped!" Qin Yi said with his mouth in his mouth, his hands did not stop, and the last bit of snow around the house was also cleaned up by him, "It's already very good, look at the pasture grass of other families, it withered and yellow a month ago!" ”

"That's right!"

Ryan smiled and nodded, also feeling that he was too greedy, such a pasture was already envied by the surrounding farms, and it was time to be satisfied.

In the past six months, the cost of forage for the pasture has been reduced by half compared with previous years, and for a large ranch such as Sun River Ranch, the cost savings are millions of dollars in that year!

After saying hello, Ryan went to the warehouse to drive the snow plow and began to open the passage from the main house, the stable, and the workers' house to the cowshed, and then Qin Yi drove another snow plow and worked with Ryan to clean the road leading to the outside of the ranch.

It wasn't until 7 a.m. that he returned to the main house, where the animals had gotten up, and Teddy was playing the game of rowing again, his round head buried in the snow, and his legs were kicking around, and the snow was splashing, and he was sliding around in the snow.

Harry and Jasmine, the little foxes, jumped up and down behind, while Raippy stood directly on Teddy's back for a ride.

McGee and Luna, the fox mother, have little interest in heavy snow, they both live hard lives and don't like winter. (To be continued......)
