Chapter 190: The Turtle and the Soup Dumplings
In general, it is very difficult for a large bird of prey like a golden eagle to take off from the ground. Because they are too heavy and too large, they have to run to generate speed, and then form wind, generating lift, in order to take off smoothly.
But Xiao Jin is a little different, it doesn't need to run, it doesn't need to soar from a high place, it just stands on the ground and spreads its wings and starts to blow the wind, and then kicks back with its paws and legs, and flies with this strength.
After educating Xiaojin, Wang Hao looked at the sheepdogs surrounding him, and then shook his head and took out the dog food, not letting these little guys go hungry.
It's not boring to stay alone in the pasture, the trees swaying in the distance look like demons, and in the quiet of the night, you can hear the deep cow moo and sheep bleating in the distance, and the air is quiet and peaceful with the smell of moist grass.
Suddenly, Wang Hao closed the book in his hand, and he suddenly realized that he hadn't been in touch with his family for a long time. My parents must be very worried about being in a foreign country, but they are afraid to disturb that they have not called, so it is too unreasonable to think about it.
Wang Hao first sent a text message to his mother Liu Ping, asking if they had fallen asleep, after all, it was already eight o'clock in the evening in Australia, and according to the time difference, it was already 11 o'clock in Beijing time.
There are three standard times in Australia, Eastern, Central, and Western Standard Time, of which New South Wales, Victoria, etc., where Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne and other cities are located, belong to the Eastern Standard Time Zone. After daylight saving time was introduced, the Eastern Time Zone was three hours ahead of Beijing.
Golden Ranch is located on the border between New South Wales and Victoria, which naturally belongs to the Eastern Time Zone.
Two minutes after the text message was sent. Liu Ping replied to her son: "I haven't slept yet, I'm watching that I'm a singer." Finally free today? ”
After all, the content that text messages can express is limited, and Wang Hao and Liu Ping directly started a QQ video conversation. This is the gospel of the overseas party, which is much more reliable than the telephone.
"Son, why are you fat again, you will be blessed if you continue like this!"
Liu Ping's first sentence when she opened the video made Wang Hao cry and laugh, others were worried that the children who went out would not eat well and sleep warmly, but their own mother was so optimistic.
"It's getting stronger! Every day in such an environment, the body has become better, and you can see that the skin is much healthier. Wang Hao also deliberately put his arm in front of the camera to show off.
In the years I worked, I didn't have much opportunity to bask in the sun at all, and I sat in the office every day. Sometimes I haven't exercised much for a month, and my body is of course in a sub-healthy state for a long time.
Now in Australia, there are a lot of activities every day, basking in the sun and riding horses, not to mention a more nourishing life.
Liu Ping laughed lightly: "Don't say it, the foreign environment is to raise people, didn't you say before that you can't get fat no matter how you eat?" It seems that eating too much beef is really beneficial, is there no activity today? ”
"I was supposed to go to a party, but unfortunately the little golden eagle got into trouble. I went to the next ranch and caught a sheep, so I had to come back alone. Mom, you and my dad should hurry up and get their passports, how comfortable it is to come here to wash your lungs. It's definitely the same as rural China. ”
With such a large piece of land in Australia, Wang Hao naturally wants to take his parents over to enjoy the blessings, but he also knows the feeling of being inseparable from his homeland. So coax them over for a few days before we talk.
"We can get our passports next week, but we don't know any English. It's also full of blindness when I come, and it's almost the same to come to travel once in a while. ”
The passport was issued. The visa is easy to say, it is not difficult to get a visa to visit relatives in Australia, as long as you prepare those complicated documents.
Looking at her mother's somewhat sleepy face, Wang Hao couldn't disturb her sleep time, so she had to make up her mind to call back early next time, and not to forget the problem of jet lag.
"Mom, go to bed early, I'll ask a friend to help me get that visa, you can text me next time you have something to do, you also know that I don't need to do much work as a rancher."
After turning off the video screen, Wang Hao's heart was a little complicated, he knew that he should respect the choice of the two old men, after all, the language barrier and no friends are not a good thing in Australia.
In the quiet night, the soup dumpling was lying on Wang Hao's lap, as if he didn't understand why his master was a little low, it meowed twice, and then suddenly got up and jumped on the little turtle next to the sofa.
Now the size of the little turtle has stabilized at the size of a basin, at this time the little turtle is about 70 centimeters long, the eyes are small, the open mouth is the size of an adult's fist, and the jaw is curved like an eagle's beak, looking very fierce. But its temperament is very stable and quiet, with a sense of peace like a century-old turtle, when it is fine, it sleeps in the shade, and only when it is hungry will it find someone to eat.
As a turtle, it doesn't even like to play on the edge of the pool, and stays on land all day.
At this time, the baby turtle looks very strange, with many spines on its head, three neat rows of water chestnuts on its back shell, which looks as hard as crocodile skin, and a 20-centimeter-long tail behind it.
The last time I weighed it, it weighed seven kilograms, and now after a few days, I don't know if it will be a little longer. The little turtle that could be put in his shirt pocket at the beginning has grown so huge at this time, maybe it will continue to grow in the future, Wang Hao can only say that the creator is amazing.
The lively soup dumplings always jump around on the back of the little turtle, and sometimes even use its shell as a bed, and during the lunch break, it will lie on the back of the little turtle and curl up in a ball, letting it take itself all over the house slowly.
At first, the people in the ranch were a little surprised, but now they are used to it, and the little turtle never loses his temper, always tolerates the soup dumplings like an elder, and lets it mess around. In fact, they are all about the same age, but their personalities are very different.
Carrying the soup bag, the little turtle slowly poked its neck out, and it gently flicked its tail behind it, slowly erecting its thick limbs, and crawling slowly.
Seemingly a little dissatisfied with such a speed, the soup bag waved his fleshy little paws, and gently tapped on the back of the little turtle, "meow~", as if urging to speed up.
Seeing these two pets in such harmony, Wang Hao couldn't help laughing, at least he still had the company of these animals, he was not alone in such a night! (To be continued......)
