Chapter 139: More Communication
Under the gaze of Shi Lei and Hanks, Elton unconsciously studied the situation of several horses alone.
Elton walked forward slowly, and after making sure that he had gained the trust of the horse, he got closer to the other party through gestures such as stroking, and after making sure that his movements would not be resisted by the other party, he began to observe in depth.
He opened his mouth to see the teeth, felt the development of his muscles and bones, and lifted all four hooves to check them one by one. As he watched, he muttered something in a whisper, as if he were talking about the age and development of the horses.
The whole set of movements Elton did very smoothly and naturally, and he was obviously deeply disgusted by the way he got along with the horse. Horses are sensitive animals, and anything that suddenly appears in front of their eyes can cause them to overreact.
Elton was able to quickly gain trust in getting along with the horses, and he could do some inspections at will, which is not something that ordinary people can do, let alone do it so smoothly and naturally like him.
"As things stand, the horses are in good shape. I just don't know what they're going to look like when they run, but in my experience, they shouldn't be bad.
Given the potential of these horses, I thought it would be a good idea to stay here. Elton was very sure of Shi Lei's conclusions.
"That's great. You are welcome to be a part of Stone Ranch. I'm sure they won't disappoint you, and not only will you not regret your decision. On the contrary, I will be proud of it. ”
Shi Lei patted Elton on the shoulder very confidently. After reading Elton's table just now, Shi Lei was also very satisfied with this upright horse idiot, with such a professional taking care of a few racing horses. I believe that they can go far in the future.
"I hope so, too. So now can I take them out for a run? Elton asked unceremoniously.
"Of course, you'll take care of them in the future." Shi Lei replied in the affirmative.
When Elton heard this, he went outside with a few racehorses. Hanks saw Elton's watch, a little helpless, but also a little proud. Hanks was a little hesitant to open his mouth to explain, but Shi Lei shook his head to show that he didn't care.
"It's alright, Hanks. Elton is a good breeder. But he doesn't seem to have heard how much I pay him. How much could he have gotten before? ”
Shi Lei thought that the salary of this new employee hadn't been talked about yet. Hanks had no choice but to negotiate with his boss on behalf of his son.
"Then add another one percent to the original. What do you think? ”
After listening to Elton's original salary, Shi Lei simply increased it again. It's really not easy to find such a good breeder in the future, if you miss this village, you won't have this shop, or you won't be able to find one for so long before.
After Hanks signaled that there was no problem, the new employee was officially settled in Stone Ranch.
After sending Hanks away. Shi Lei went out and went around several major places again, such as a few poultry houses, as well as a special place for newborn cubs, and saw that the situation was normal, Shi Lei was relieved and went back to continue to live with Laura in the two-person world.
After the Thanksgiving holiday, Shi Lei's life returned to its original routine, sending Laura to work and going to the gym to learn boxing. Learn to fly a helicopter, and so on.
Of course, Shi Lei will talk to Tony from time to time. While really feeling their own progress, Shi Lei also successfully vented the accumulated grievances and the grievances of being trained by the master because of Tony, which was really refreshing physically and mentally.
For the application of the basic techniques of Wing Chun, Shi Lei is becoming more and more handy. In terms of equipment, he has also become familiar with the improved set of short knives and short sticks taught by his master Kane.
The course at the aviation school is also coming to an end. Just wait for Shi Lei to have enough time to operate on the computer, and then he can take the final exam.
After all, for Shi Lei, it is quite easy to get started with the operation, he has an unforgettable head, and coupled with his excellent body, it is not too easy to master.
Shi Lei can even play a few aerobatic maneuvers occasionally with the instructor who came out of the support force, of course, he can't play difficult actions, Shi Lei's operation is not qualified on the one hand, and the training plane they use can't bear it.
Shi Lei also took the time to go to the gun shop and bought back the two guns this month. According to the results of the last test at the shooting range, Shi Lei chose the M04 lever rifle and the Springfield XDM pistol this time. Of course, both are custom versions.
M04 Shi Lei chose a replaceable barrel type, and also made a competition-grade long barrel to ensure the accuracy of this gun.
Springfield XDM pistol, first of all, you must replace the much-criticized trigger, and the touch of poop is really unlikeable.
All parts of this gun have been strengthened, and with its incomparably strong durability, this gun is estimated to allow Shi Lei to use it until he doesn't want to touch the gun.
However, these two guns are not necessary for Shi Lei, so Shi Lei's desire to practice them is not so strong, after all, Shi Lei has very suitable objects in his hands for long and short guns.
Shi Lei had been testing this lever rifle with great interest in the shooting range of the gun shop for a while, and felt the novelty brought by different loading methods.
However, lever-loaded bullets are still a bit troublesome, and this aspect is certainly not as convenient as changing magazines. It is estimated that it is more likely to be put at home in the future, and the chance of really using it is still relatively small.
It was the bullet used in this gun that made Shi Lei decide that the next time he came to buy a gun, he could take away an S&W M500 hand cannon, and the revolver would eat the same bullets as this gun, and it would be easier to use bullets in the future.
As for the Springfield XDM pistol, Shi Lei thinks he can take the time to feel it and see which one is better to use with the same strengthened M&P, anyway, their bullets are the same.
After satisfying the two guns, lock them. Shi Lei inevitably had to choose some accessories for them.
A gun strap placed on the side of the rifle to reload the M04. Buy a few spare magazines for the XDM. Each of them can choose some small objects such as tactical flashlights, and they will be able to live together.
Except for this vignette. Shi Lei has continued to live a regular life, busy with his own affairs during the day. In the evening, Shi Lei would accompany Laura to watch TV and chat, and sometimes just sit there together, each holding a book and reading.
Shi Lei basically reads books on veterinarians, but he has given up on planning to take the veterinary medical qualification certificate. The reason is very helpless. The school where Shi Lei studied veterinary medicine when he was in college was not recognized by Midi. Therefore, Shi Lei's 4-year study experience is not recognized.
Without this prerequisite, if Shi Lei wants to continue to take the veterinary license, he can only go to a specialized veterinary school to study for another four years. Shi Lei obviously doesn't have the need to go to college for another four years, so he takes the veterinary license. I had no choice but to give up.
However, whether it is out of a feeling or out of ordinary needs, Shi Lei must insist on continuing to learn some of the latest veterinary techniques on the side of Midi, so as to enrich and improve himself, and at the same time be able to better take care of the animals in the ranch, and at the same time make some cover up for the magic of the stone ranch.
Every weekend, Shi Lei still spends most of his time with Laura, just like Shi Lei said before, every once in a while. The two should have a good chat, exchange their views on each other, and praise each other's advantages. Also show what you expect from the other person. The other half of the good is educated by themselves, isn't it?
"Hey Laura, it's time for us to have a good talk. Come here, come to me. After Shi Lei finished speaking, he beckoned to Laura and motioned for her to sit next to him.
"Okay. And here it is. Laura agreed and sat directly on Shi Lei. also dragged Shi Lei's arm and hugged himself. Shi Lei hugged Laura tightly and gave her a light kiss.
"Laura, how was the week? Are you still happy at work? Shi Lei cared.
"It's good, this week, the love bento you made has a new trick, I eat happily, and I give it to the envy of my colleagues." Hey. Laura said, hugged Shi Lei with a smile, and kissed Shi Lei on the face.
"That's, who is your husband and I, that's considered the most handsome and best cooking guy in Santa Barbara, you can pick up a big bargain. Of course, I plucked the most beautiful flowers in all of Santa Barbara, and I don't know how much cow dung I envied. Shi Lei said stinkily.
"You're typical, cheap and good." Laura teased Shi Lei with a smile.
"Seriously, if you like the food I cook, my labor will not be in vain." Shi Lei said seriously.
"However, I've noticed that you don't seem to be particularly happy lately, and your love during this time is not as high as before, is there something wrong with me? If there is, just say it, don't hold it in your heart.
We have agreed before, we must communicate well and strive to be a better version of ourselves in each other's hearts, right? Shi Lei looked at Laura seriously and said sincerely.
"Well, of course." Laura kissed Shi Lei, "It's true that I've been a little depressed lately, but it's not because of you." ”
"Could it be that your good relatives are coming? It's not like ah, I didn't see it last night. "Well, Shi Lei is evil again.
"you, you guy still doesn't know the rules." Shi Lei's gags still worked, and Laura's love was not greatly affected.
"Actually, it's mainly about work, I still think about work too simply, thinking that if I am talented and motivated, I can have good results, but I didn't expect that the reality is always not so satisfactory. Recently, I have experienced some things, which are actually small things, but they still give me some sober understanding. Laura said with a slight depression.
Shi Lei, as a boyfriend, of course has to comfort Laura carefully. In the end, Shi Lei made a trick, lying there and posing in a big font, "Busy, Babi, come and insult me" with a posture waiting to be forced.
Laura looked at Shi Lei's unobtrusive expression a little helplessly, but in the end she was successfully led crooked by Shi Lei, and this exchange ended with a hearty battle between the two, and Laura was also successfully liberated from her low feelings.
Therefore, many times, men must have a strong body. (To be continued) R655
