After returning to the ranch, the two people who hadn't seen each other for two weeks had a very fulfilling day, and they were really glue-like, and they didn't separate at all for a whole day.

For the two people who haven't seen each other for a day, they haven't seen each other for almost half a century, and the lovesickness is really beyond words.

The two of them who had been sticky at home for a day began to return to their normal routine the next day, and after sending Laura to the company, Shi Lei went to the boxing gym to practice boxing.

Master Kane's batch of Shi Lei must have suffered a lot, but Shi Lei, who had already thought of a way, after the warm-up was completed, decisively and enthusiastically invited Senior Brother Tony to have a friendly exchange in the boxing ring.

As a martial idiot's junior brother Tony, he must have agreed without saying a word, and he just wanted to test his learning results during this time.

Shi Lei, who walked down from the ring, was in a completely different mood, because of Tony's comparison, and the depression of always being scolded by the master, he was well released.

Of course, in order not to leave any psychological shadow on Tony and affect Tony's enthusiasm for competition in the future, Shi Lei just used his fighting skills to verify each other with Tony, and did not rely on his superhuman body to bully people.

The days for a while later were spent in plain life, but with Laura's company, Shi Lei's life was once again wonderful and fun.

During this time, the new cattle, sheep and pigs and other large livestock needed by the ranch have arrived one after another, and under the strict control of Hanks, the quality of the livestock is worthy of affirmation, which has lived up to Shi Lei's trust in Hanks.

The arrival of many large animals added a lot of trouble to the cowboys' work, but when they gradually integrated into the original herd, the cowboys' work became much easier.

Because these animals are relatively disciplined, especially within mature groups, their activities are relatively consistent.

Only pigs are not so organized, but after Shi Lei's transformation. It wasn't particularly troublesome to take care of, not to mention the help of a few ranch dogs who turned into swineherds, which were quickly straightened out.

Of course, Shi Lei was not idle during this time, there were so many new animals, Shi Lei had to take time out to transform many animals in a planned way, and in order to maintain the energy used for transformation, Shi Lei had to get up early every day to go to the beach to run a few laps.

And the poultry piece, under the control of Mo Yan and his wife, is also very smooth. Two large poultry houses near the artificial lake have also been put into use. The several large barns set aside for use as chicken coops have also been renovated according to the ideas of Mo Yan and his wife, and now the poultry breeding work is also on the right track.

Of course, Shi Lei's transformation of poultry has also helped them a lot without their knowledge, not only the physique of the poultry has been greatly improved, and after coming, it has not been harmed because of the change of environment, but also made the management of poultry a lot easier.

Unconsciously. Two weeks have passed, and Thanksgiving has arrived. All the big livestock had arrived as expected, and the poultry had already met the requirements. The whole ranch is showing a thriving scene.

According to the promise, Shi Lei gave all the cowboys to the ranch. and the newcomer Mo Yan and his wife both gave bonuses.

The cowboys' bonuses must be much more than those of Mo Yan and his wife, after all, the cowboys are the old men of the ranch.

Ordinary cowboys, Shi Lei gave bonuses ranging from 10,000 to 15,000 US dollars each, all calculated according to their usual diligence and their workload. Gonzalez, who is simple and capable, is undoubtedly the cowboy who has received the most prize money.

As the ranch supervisor Hanks, Shi Lei gave him a bonus of 30,000 US dollars this time. After all, Hanks not only has to manage the entire ranch up and down the business, he has to work hard in every detail, and he has also been Shi Lei's master for so long, and this money can be regarded as covering the other part of the cost of being a coach.

However, Hanks's watch is different from other cowboys, these cowboys are happy to get the bonus, some can still think of expressing their gratitude to Shi Lei, and some simply care about their own happiness, grab the money and run away. And after Hanks got the money, he was still very strict.

Shi Lei also thought that Hanks's calm personality was playing a role at first, but after a closer look, Shi Lei found that it seemed to be more than that.

Hanks saw the happy looks of the other cowboys, and his eyes did not show the joy he should have, but some envy and sadness, especially when he saw Garcia, a cowboy whose family lived on the ranch, and the family was excitedly discussing the use of the money and the arrangements for the holiday, Hanks was even more lonely.

Seeing this situation, Shi Lei felt understood. Shi Lei thought about it, Hanks should be thinking of his family, on a day like Thanksgiving, which should have been a family reunion, he could only be alone in the ranch, as if he was out of this world.

The so-called thinking of his relatives every festival, but his family is very estranged from him, and he must be very congested at this time.

"Hi Hanks, why don't you look so upset?" Shi Lei asked a little knowingly.

"Oh, nothing, I'm thinking about being on duty during the holidays." Hanks still said sternly.

"Wouldn't it be nice to let Garcia and the others live on the ranch during the holidays, and the whole family will stay on duty, and you all go home to reunite with your families.

At a time like Thanksgiving, how can you be allowed to stay. Shi Lei still pretended to be stupid and asked.

"I'm definitely here to stay as the ranch manager. And...... My family doesn't want to see me at this time...... I'd better stay and do my job. ”

Hanks told the truth with some sadness, it seems that as Shi Lei thought, Hanks is very entangled in the reunion with his family.

He misses his family, especially the children, but is worried that the children will resist his presence, so he is very depressed.

Even Hanks, who has been through a lot of life-and-death battles, is always soft in his heart when it comes to his family.

"Well, Hanks, I don't think you should think so. You know, my father is also a very strict person, and usually in front of us children, he always looks like he is not smiling. A lot of the time, he always criticized us, so from childhood to adulthood, we only had awe for our father, and we didn't feel very close. On the contrary, my mother was always very gentle with us, so we were all closest to my mother.

But when I was in high school, I changed my mind about my father. When I was in school, my grades were always very good, just as my parents expected, when I was in junior high school, I attended my dad's school, and my grades were the fourth in my grade at the worst.

But after I went to high school. I gradually became obsessed with reading novels, so my grades gradually declined, and I once reached the countdown of the Cheng dù, and then, the teacher asked to see the parents.

Hanks, you may not know that we parents attach great importance to students' grades, so let's put it this way, my appearance this time is similar to the feeling of parents knowing that I have done something illegal.

I thought I had always been strict and liked to criticize my father. I don't know what to say about me this time, I think a violent storm is indispensable, but to my surprise, Dad didn't do it.

After coming out of the teacher's office. Dad didn't criticize me, but took me to all the teachers and told them to please give my child a little patience, and he will definitely do well.

Then I started my first long knee talk with him. After that. Obviously, I was admitted to the university, and I lived up to my father's expectations.

Most importantly, I have understood the word fatherly love ever since. The father may be Yan sù. It doesn't feel so close, but the father also loves his children, no less than the mother's love. Shi Lei quietly wiped the corners of his eyes when he said this.

"Sorry for being a bit off-topic, I mean to tell you, you have to communicate with your child, and it's okay to say something later.

Besides, you haven't tried hard, so how do you know they don't understand you? You try to communicate to have a chance to solve the problem, don't you? You haven't even tried it, so how do you know they don't expect you to show up?

So, come on, at least don't leave regrets for yourself. If you need to take a leave of absence, just tell me. Shi Lei stepped forward and hugged Hanks comfortingly, and then smiled a little mysteriously.

"Thank you, Stone, I'll think about it." After Hanks finished speaking, he hesitated and walked back.

"You're going to come to me for leave." After Shi Lei finished speaking, he smiled and turned around, he still had to turn around the ranch to see the situation.

After the bonus is distributed, the cowboys are officially entering the Thanksgiving holiday. Speaking of cowboys, it's really a tiring job, and I basically can't rest for two days on weekdays.

This is also the case in the stone ranch, when there were plenty of manpower before, those single cowboys could take a leave to go out on the weekend to have a girl or something, but now that there are more livestock, the manpower is already more tight, so naturally there is no time for them to rest.

So this Thanksgiving Day, as a very important day of family reunion, Shi Lei generously gave them a 4-day holiday.

Cowboys like Garcia, whose whole family lives on the ranch, are naturally the best candidates to stay on duty. During the holidays, they have to rely on a few of their cowboys to take care of the herd.

Of course, these days will also reduce grazing and other activities, otherwise these cowboys will not be busy at all. And Shi Lei will triple their wages according to overtime.

Mo Yan and his wife have also come to live in the ranch now, no, their son Mo Qi also came to the ranch early this morning to spend this Thanksgiving holiday with them.

Of course, Mo Yan and his wife have to continue to take care of many poultry, and Mo Qi is also very sensible to help his parents, and looking at his skillful movements, it seems that he has done these jobs before.

This makes Shi Lei's perception of Mo Qi, a high-achieving student, much better, a sensible and filial person is always easy to accept, which is a very positive virtue, isn't it.

After taking a general look at the situation of the ranch, Shi Lei went to the main room to pack up gifts or something, and said that he would go home with Laura for this Thanksgiving, although it was not the first time to go, Shi Lei still felt that it was not appropriate to come to the door empty-handed.
