Chapter 0009: Kind Old Men and Their Ranch

Gold Hill Ranch.

This is the name of John Sr.'s ranch.

The area of Jinshan Ranch is about 600 acres, and if it is in China, it is very incredible that a private person can own such a large piece of land, which has aroused the envy and jealousy of countless people. But in the United States, 600 acres of pasture can only be regarded as a small ranch, and some large landowners have hundreds of thousands of acres of ranch.

Hundreds of thousands of acres, try to think about it, even if you stand at the highest point of the ranch, even if the weather is good and the visibility is extremely high, you can't see the edge at a glance. If you ride a horse around the border and gallop wildly, you will have to run for more than a day.

Although the terrain of the entire Jinshan Ranch is undulating, in the end, it is relatively gentle.

It is the spring of April, and the pasture grass is the most vigorous, and as far as the eye can see, it is a lush scene.

A gentle breeze blows, and the whole ranch suddenly turns into a sea of green, only to see the green waves rippling, which makes people feel refreshed.

In the middle of the pasture, in the north-west, there is a small lake six or seven acres in size, which is the largest body of water in the Golden Mountain Ranch. In addition to this, the rest of the ranch has several pieces of water of various sizes.

On the meadow, scattered herds of cattle and sheep are leisurely grazing grass, and a few cattle dogs are lazily basking in the sun next to them.

"Xu, welcome to our Jinshan Ranch."

After signing a simple contract in the living room of Old John's villa, and after paying the money, Old John took the initiative to stand up and stretched out his hand to Xu Xiaoyu with a smile.

"Xiexie, you John, it is my honor to be a part of the Golden Mountain Ranch, Xiexie you and Ann Lina's kindness." Xu Xiaoyu and Old John's hands shook together, and then shook hands with An Linna.

He was very happy that things were done smoothly, and the two old Americans were really kind, they rented Xu Xiaoyu two acres of land, but only asked Xu Xiaoyu to pay two hundred dollars a month.

Xu Xiaoyu didn't understand that the two of them would be so good to him, and when he chatted with Old John, he learned that more than ten years ago, Old John and An Lina were still living in Reno City, and at that time, they rented a Chinese student in their home, and they lived there for four years.

The Chinese student was very polite and considerate, which made the two old men like him very much, and even recognized him as his son.

When Old John and An Lina saw Xu Xiaoyu, they missed their foreign son, and directly had a good impression of Xu Xiaoyu.

"Oh, by the way, Xu, what are you going to use for that piece of land?" Old John asked with a smile on his face.

"I want to grow some vegetables, mainly cabbage and carrots." Xu Xiaoyu replied.

"The purpose of growing vegetables is to sell them."

"I can't eat enough vegetables from two acres of land." Xu Xiaoyu joked.

"Haha......" Old John smiled heartily and patted Xu Xiaoyu's shoulder: "Go, choose your two acres of land with me." ”

The two of them walked out of the villa, and old John pointed to the stable on one side, in which four horses were tethered, and he said, "Xu you can ride a horse." ”

"Yes, but the riding is reluctant." Xu Xiaoyu smiled bitterly and nodded, in China, in addition to the people who live on the prairie, horseback riding is a very rare thing for many people, Xu Xiaoyu also learned it in the horse farm after coming to the United States, and the riding skills are really so-so.

"What's the matter, if you do more, you will be proficient, let's ride."

Xu Xiaoyu followed Old John to the stable, Old John took a white quart out, touched the long mane of the white horse lovingly like stroking his beloved woman, and said: "This is Ricky, Mother Ma, who has been with us for five years, Xu You can ride it." ”

“xiexie。” Xu Xiaoyu took the reins, smiled and thanked him, the coat color of this white horse named Ruiqi is very pure, neat and supple, and he likes this horse a lot.

Old John himself took a majestic black quart, patted his strong thigh, and said with a smile: "This is Senge, my old fellow." ”

With that, old John turned on his horse neatly, and with a whip of his horse, the black horse Senge galloped like a black lightning bolt into the depths of the pasture.

Old John on horseback, with a steady figure and heroic posture, seems to be integrated with the black horse, his riding skills are really exquisite, and he looks at Xu Xiaoyu with some envy.

"Drive." Xu Xiaoyu also rode on the white horse and snorted softly.

The white horse Ruiqi watched Old John ride away on the black horse Senge, and he couldn't wait for a long time, and as soon as Xu Xiaoyu's word 'driving' came out, it ran wildly, turning into a white cloud.

Ruiqi's reaction was so strong, and the speed of the steps was so fast, which surprised Xu Xiaoyu, and his riding skills were really not good, he was caught off guard, and almost planted the horse without a follower, fortunately, more than ten years of Chinese kung fu are not practiced in vain!

Xu Xiaoyu's legs hurriedly clamped the horse's belly, so he didn't fall down, otherwise it would have been big.

"Giggle......" An Linna, who had just walked out of the door of the villa, saw this scene, and while sweating for Xu Xiaoyu, she couldn't help but laugh.

Xu Xiaoyu heard her laughter, sweated, and pulled the reins, making the somewhat restless Ruiqi slow down and ride decently, not daring to indulge at all.

"Haha......" Old John galloped out four or five hundred meters in one breath, and when he turned around, he saw Xu Xiaoyu's cautious look, and said loudly.

Xu Xiaoyu shrugged his shoulders helplessly, rode Ruiqi steadily, and came to the side of Old John, who pointed around and said heroically: "Xu, which area do you like?" The choice is yours. ”

"Let's take a look at the front."

The two slowly and leisurely walked side by side to the border of the ranch.

"That's it." Xu Xiaoyu chose an area next to the border, and there was a pool of about one-third of an acre in the area, which was clear and sparkling.

"Isn't this a little too out of the way?" Old John frowned.

"I love this place." Xu Xiaoyu smiled slightly, for him, getting a piece of land is to cover the space, and it is naturally good to be remote.

"If you like, you can do it." Old John nodded, no longer discussing this issue, and invited with sincerity: "Xu, you can move into our house to live." ”

"Xiexie, your kindness, no." Xu Xiaoyu smiled and shook his head and refused, he already owed Old John a favor, he didn't want to owe more favors, but he could build a small house on these two acres of land, think about the wooden house in our space, how beautiful and exquisite?

Xu Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, and he was a little moved, so he said the idea of building a wooden house.

Old John said with a little resentment: "Xu, why do you have to make so much trouble, my villa is so big, I'm afraid that there is no place for you to live?" ”

Xu Xiaoyu didn't speak, just laughed.

Old John persuaded him, but he couldn't resist Xu Xiaoyu, so he had to give him a blank look: "Okay, whatever you want." ”
