This year's Christmas passed very quickly because of the crowds, and the atmosphere became extraordinarily good. After the two families have more and more contact, they get along more and more harmoniously, and now they feel like a family, and there is no meaning of seeing each other at all.

When the two mothers went to the kitchen to prepare the Christmas dinner together, one made Chinese food, of course, several dishes were improved, and the other was responsible for making some completely Western food, especially the roast turkey meal, or Emily was more experienced in cooking.

After this period of exercise in her own private restaurant, my mother's taste of cooking has changed slightly, in fact, more people go there to eat, and most of the repeat customers are these people, and some people are foreigners who come to visit, either for the curiosity of Chinese food, or because of the fact that all the ingredients produced in the stone ranch are used.

Of course, the good reputation of the private restaurant also plays a great role, and a lot of - excellent - excellent - small - say - more - new - most - fastest - WWW.UUXS.CC - new faces are introduced by friends or heard the recommendation of others to try it, many of them can't give up after eating once.

Christmas at Fox River Ranch was peaceful and happy, and Hanks gave the cowboys a holiday according to the custom of the Stone Ranch, and those who were close to home or simply had their whole family on the ranch stayed on the ranch.

Hearing that they could get three times their salary, many cowboys who were not close to their families also gave up the opportunity to go home and volunteered to stay on the ranch to work overtime to take care of the livestock.

Yes, there are cowgirls on the Fox River Ranch, several, they are basically digested internally, and the husband is also a cowboy in the Fox River, and they are generally more meticulous in their work, and they have advantages that the big men do not have.

After winter. The Fox River Ranch basically relies on winter storage to maintain the needs of livestock, and it is inevitable that the cost will rise, and there are more cowboys who need to work. But there are also benefits to such an environment.

A cold-resistant environment is required. While maintaining the strength of the animals, the fat content of their meat has also increased. The fat will be more evenly distributed in the form of snowflakes, and their meat will have a sweet taste, and the flavor will be more obvious, in general, it is actually beneficial for the breeding of grazing cattle.

Of course, this also has the effect of Shi Lei's transformation, which is equivalent to changing the rules of their meat growth, and must grow in a more reasonable direction of better distribution.

Life at Fox River Ranch is very comfortable, but at this time, the Stone Ranch Christmas was not well had, because something happened here.

When Gonzalez woke up at night, he stopped by the cattle pen for a walk. Then he was very surprised to find that the cattle dog, who was in charge of the night vigil, was lying there completely unresponsive to his arrival. Feeling strange, he went over to check and found that the dogs guarding the livestock pen were all overturned.

Gonzalez quickly ran back to the worker's room, took out his gun, and after taking all the long and short guns, ran out of the room, and fired a shot into the air, calling all the cowboys around. If nothing else, if there are intruders, ensuring the safety of the cowboys must come first.

Soon the cowboys around him also brought their guns and gathered in front of Gonzales, and Gonzales breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that everyone had arrived. Leave some cowboys with some dogs to protect the family. Gonzalez, with the rest of the dogs, ran towards the corral.

The cattle dogs are all-round dogs, and after the cowboys signaled, they all ran up and sniffed around, barked for a while, and then ran in one direction. Gonzalez: They quickly mounted their horses and followed.

The dogs were in the same direction, and they were running straight in one direction, and it seemed that the intruders did not hide their whereabouts at all, and finally the cowboys finally saw the intruder on a hillside that was about to go out of the ranch.

A truck was parked there, three ranch cattle had been driven to the truck, and three shadowy figures were busy closing the door of the truck, apparently having reached their goal and were ready to run.

The cowboys yelled at each other to stop moving, but instead of doing what the cowboys said. Instead, he sped up his movements, and one of the figures ran to the cab. I just sat in and started the car.

The remaining two simply drew their guns and crackled in the direction of the cowboys. However, they were obviously using pistols, and there was a distance of several hundred meters between the two sides, and they were just wasting bullets, but they also managed to slow down the cowboys' movements, and they didn't dare to get too close.

Gonzalez, who had the best marksmanship among the cowboys at the scene, saw this situation, jumped off the horse without saying a word, took out his spear, and shot the person opposite by kneeling on one knee.

The other cowboys didn't care so much when they saw this situation, they all pulled out their spears and shot at the opposite thunderbolt, but the cowboys followed their usual style, and when they went out, they all took out their shotguns, and few came out with rifles, and the range was not enough at this distance, so this shot was basically just a sound.

Gonzalez's sharpshooter level was brought into play, and he fired several shots at the threatening figure on the opposite side again, and he also succeeded in knocking the other party down, and the gunfire on both sides stopped.

The truck driver who had already been on fire saw that the two companions were upright, and they just threw them away, and the truck was a sharp acceleration, and the cowboys hurriedly hit the horses to chase after them, but the distance between the two sides was a little far, and the speed of the horses and the truck was also a little different, although the cowboys did not hesitate to shoot at the truck again, but they could only watch the other party and themselves open the distance, and ran away in front of their eyes.

The local police soon arrived at the ranch and questioned Gonzalez. This is definitely a big deal for the small town of Santa Barbara, which has always been very calm and safe, with the loss of three priceless beef cattle and the killing of two suspects on the spot, which are serious criminal cases that are rare in Santa Barbara once in several years.

The two corpse intruders were killed by Gonzalez, and Gonzalez's name instantly spread through the streets of the town. The name of the sharpshooter spread far and wide, and it was quickly affirmed by everyone.

Gonzalez's love story did not change by killing the two gangsters with his own hands, as is often said. I vomited because I killed someone.

He was also unwell, and obviously looked a little weak afterwards. But it's not exaggerated to the point of vomiting non-stop, I don't know if it's because he's too big, so his nerves are extraordinarily thick.

The cowboys also got together afterwards to talk about it, because Hanks, the chief steward and Shi Lei, the boss, were not in the Stone Ranch, and Gonzalez and the others had to discuss a charter.

The two cattle thieves who were killed both had typical old ink faces, and needless to say, they knew that they must be old ink. Therefore, Gonzalez and the others all felt that it was likely to be the so-called gold diggers who dug tunnels and came from Lao Mo's homeland, and many of these smugglers took the lowest wages to do the most tiring work, and some of them directly engaged in business without capital.

Cattle from Stone Ranch are not cheap, just look at the price of the beef sold. The price of a pound of top-quality beef is almost equal to a month's salary of many old inks, so that a cow can cover their labor income for several years or even decades, especially for those black households, it is definitely a lot of wealth.

And Gonzalez suspects that it is likely that these guys have overheard from the cowboys on the ranch that the ranch is now very underprotected, and don't forget that most of Gonzalez's cowboys are descendants of Lao Mo.

Based on this analysis, they felt that it was necessary to arrange for people to be on duty at night, and that they had to prevent those who had tasted the sweetness from coming back to continue stealing cattle. Or those who have lost their accomplices will come back for revenge.

That's why Gonzalez and his men will be fully armed at the corral every night, and some cowboys will stay at the workers' house to ensure everyone's safety.

The dogs that had been turned over before were also back to work unharmed. It may be that the cattle thieves don't want the cattle dogs to give warnings, and they are afraid that killing them will attract other dogs, so they use the quietest way to solve the threat of the dogs.

When Shi Lei heard the news, his first reaction was to confirm the safety of the ranch personnel, knowing that they were all okay and had killed the two intruders, Shi Lei encouraged them well, and told them to go back and give them a bonus for their bravery, which was actually a little embarrassed by the cowboys who still lost their cows.

In order not to affect the mood of the elders, I don't want them to worry too much. Shi Lei hid the news from them, and of course Hanks still had to say something.

finally got to the arrival of New Year's Day. Shi Lei finally couldn't stay on this side of the Fox River, and after consulting with the four elders. The whole family rushed to Santa Barbara again, and soon returned to their homes.

Seeing that the cowboys were fully armed, Laura looked at Shi Lei with some worry, and Shi Lei quickly comforted Laura, telling her not to worry, the matter will definitely be solved soon.

Shi Lei called Lincoln and them, hoping that they would say hello to the police station and put some pressure, and also asked the security company to prepare a team of personnel as a mobile force, after all, these people are more professional in doing these jobs, and it is not certain whether they will come to the ranch to serve as a security mission or go out to attack.

On the side of Midi, it is the rich who must not be offended, and it is the rich who cannot be offended even more, and it is time for these people to understand this truth.

Although Shi Lei has always been a peaceful person, the existence of these people threatens not only their fundamental gains, but more importantly, they have threatened the personal safety of many people.

In this case, it is not very suitable for parents to live in the ranch again, so Shi Lei arranged for them to go back to their house directly at the beginning, and there are already two employees from the security company who have gone over to make some arrangements first, and they will not withdraw from their parents until this time the matter is properly resolved, of course, parents don't know about these situations.

Laura's side, Shi Lei personally followed, 24 hours to protect his girlfriend, Shi Lei is confident that he can still deal with it under normal circumstances.

When the ranch was in a tense state, Shi Lei received two pieces of news successively, which finally eased the situation. (To be continued)
