Chapter 282: Homeland
"To borrow your auspicious words, I am really going to go into the mountains in two days, try my luck, and see if I can get some sheep back," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
Lao Xu immediately said happily: "Go, you have to go!" ”
"You're really not going?" Zhang Chi smiled: "Do you want to go with me?" ”
Zhang Chi just said casually, and after he finished speaking, Zhang Chi himself regretted it a little, and said in his heart What if this old boy really went with him.
However, Lao Xu Zhi shook his head directly, and continued: "It's still the above, it's a burden for me to go in, you let me build some houses, and when I enter the old forest, I don't know anything, isn't that just a penny, forget it, God dropped a pie for me once, how can I keep falling on my head?" ”
Lao Xu also thought about it and saw it.
Zhang Chi felt a little really admired Lao Xu now, where can ordinary people endure it, he got hundreds of thousands of dollars for nothing, and he doesn't feel that he is invincible, that's strange, and Lao Xu is such a weirdo.
Continuing to drink, Lao Xu asked Zhang Chi what he was going to do.
Zhang Chi said: "I'm going to take people into the mountains, bring Cannon and Brian, anyway, the ranch doesn't need anyone to manage at this time, I'll go for three or four days and come back if there is really no movement."
It is certain to bring people with them, otherwise thousands of cattle will be 'picked up' by Zhang Chi, how can they be rushed back, Zhang Chi alone does not have such a ability.
"Why don't you leave Cannon behind and I'll have Colorado send two cowboys over to help temporarily?" Merika said.
Merika was not interested in going into the mountains to find any cows, and she didn't have much hope that Zhang Chi would be able to find the cows, but since Zhang Chi wanted to do this, as a wife, she didn't want to speak out to stop him, let alone drag him back.
Although she doesn't support it, Merica still wants her husband to be happy when he goes out to play and not worry about the situation on the ranch.
That's right!
In Merika's mind, her husband went out to play, and looking for a cow was just an excuse to play.
She didn't say it because she felt that there were some things you said, that is, you have low emotional intelligence, and between people, even the best husband and wife can't support you to live and tear down the stage.
The smart Merika didn't think about controlling Zhang Chi, she felt that she had to give Zhang Chi enough space, and as long as Zhang Chi wanted to do something that wasn't wrong, then she would encourage him, instead of tearing down his stage in the back.
The three of them chatted while drinking, and drank until more than nine o'clock, when Zhang Chi came out with another bottle of wine at home, and then Lao Xu was drunk.
It's really good to drink, Lao Xu lay motionless on the table, and the little snoring sounded earth-shattering.
Zhang Chi didn't drink much, he was the first bottle of three or two in total, and he drank this little wine from beginning to end.
Merica drank a lot, but Merica felt that her alcohol consumption had increased these days, and one or two catties of liquor were in her stomach, so she walked a little floating, and nothing else.
Zhang Chi drove Lao Xu into his car and put him directly in the car.
Zhang Chi doesn't want Lao Xu to sleep in his own house, if this kid vomits, then he can't clean it, and when he gets to his own car, he vomits and vomits as much as he wants, it has nothing to do with our old Zhang.
In the car that sent Lao Xu to him, Zhang Chi passed by the construction site, and the workers had not finished work at the moment, and were setting up several cowboy dormitories.
The cowboy dormitory is very simple, similar to the domestic prefabricated house, square, square head, of course, it is more insulated than the prefabricated house, otherwise, the winter of the ranch can freeze people to death.
Now the workers are filling the wall with insulating foam, which is like a pulp, and when it is beaten, it is attached to the wooden board, and after a while, a layer of bubbles has formed, and the whole wooden lattice has been filled.
"Boss Zhang".
When the workers saw Zhang Chi, they all smiled and greeted Zhang Chi.
Everyone saw that Zhang Chi was very enthusiastic, and it was still the same sentence, everyone ate the beef sent by Zhang Chi, and ate beef in a different way, how could there be such treatment on the construction site before.
If they see that Zhang Chi is not enthusiastic, then do they still have a conscience.
"Go to bed early, it's been a hard night."
Zhang Chi came to a sentence in a fake way.
Who doesn't know that what Zhang Chi said doesn't work, the workers work so hard, it's not to make a little more money, they don't count the money by day, but by the workload, and everyone together gets a share, that is, how much is this project, and after everyone does it, what proportion of the money is taken out and shared by everyone.
Do you say that this kind of work can still be motivated by workers? Isn't that, everyone came out to make money, could it be that it was really to eat the big cake painted by the boss.
There is no way to do it in China, but who here in the United States eats your big pie? The union is powerful, and it is not soft to clean up some unconscionable bosses.
"It's okay, that's it."
A worker who was blowing foaming agent smiled at Zhang Chi and said.
"The dorm here is almost ready?" Zhang Chi asked.
The worker said: "There is no more work for a few days, waiting for this wall to go to the top, it will not take a day to go to the top, everyone can fix it, the wind here is not very strong, there is no tornado or anything like that, there is no need to do so complicated outside, as long as the snow can slide down smoothly."
This is a mountainous area, and apart from heavy snowstorms, extreme weather such as tornadoes and typhoons really can't affect here.
The terrain of the United States is flat, and the arable area is much larger than that of China, but one thing is that the north of the United States is not covered, the Rocky Mountains are in the west, and the Appalachian Mountains are in the east, both of which are north-south, so they can't expel the airflow at all.
In this way, the Arctic forms cold air that can be swept directly into the United States, and the warm air in the Gulf of Mexico can also directly rush into the United States.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Zhang Chi Ranch, which is in the Rocky Mountains, and tornadoes can't be rolled up, only blizzards can patronize here.
"That's okay, pay attention to rest," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
After turning around on the construction site for a while, Zhang Chi turned to his new house, the new big house is laying the foundation, this time it is not a simple cement column, but to pour, so that the whole house can be firm, the foundation of the small house and the big house cannot be the same.
Now the foundation is almost complete, not only that, but there is also a reserved place next to it, if you want to add it in the future, then you can directly construct it.
Under Merica's plan, the house could be expanded into a ten-bedroom house, which could be expanded to fifteen bedrooms if it was added any more.
Zhang Chi felt that there was no need for this, just the two of them, and his parents would not come often, so with so many rooms, could it be true that he wanted to give birth to a football team?
That's not a joke.
There are so many little hairy heads in the family, is that home still a home, it has become a vegetable market, and don't think about it for a moment.
Now the foundation has been laid on the first plank, said to be a plank, this thing is really thick enough, each one is about 20 centimeters thick, and they are all anti-corrosion, the connection is still metal pins, bolts.
As a layman like Zhang Chi, he feels that the house he built for the first time is much stronger than the one he built.
This house will not be filled with foaming agent, but directly used wood, thick wood grooved together, between the seams with natural caulk, mixed with twine squeezed into the seams, not to mention the wind, even if the typhoon blows, there will be no feeling in the house.
Merica is very attentive to the house, and the walls are made of solid wood in a large area, which of course also doubles the cost of the house.
But Zhang Chi doesn't care, and Merika doesn't care either, the money the two of them have on hand now can fully support such a project, and the most important thing is that the new ranch that the two want to buy is not unbought.
Look here, look there, and finally Zhang Chi returned to the house.
Merika was lying on the bed flipping through the video, and when she saw Zhang Chi coming back, she asked, "Where did you go?" ”
"I took a look at the construction site and found that it was built quite quickly," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
Merika looked at Zhang Chi and said, "What you asked for must be completed in July, how can it be completed if others don't do this."
"My fault, my fault," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
After speaking, Zhang Chi went into the bathroom to take a shower, and then lay down on the bed.
Merika looked at the tablet for a while, then turned her head to see Zhang Chi lying beside her, so she put down the tablet in her hand: "What do you think?" ”
"I'm thinking about the past, I used to think about making money to take my parents over, and I thought it would take a long time to complete the idea, but who knew it would come true so soon," Zhang Chi said with a little emotion.
"Do they like to live here?" Merica asked.
Having never gotten along with Zhang Chi's parents, Merica was a little worried, she felt that she had no problem, but there were some things that she didn't think was okay and there was no problem.
There are thousands of people in this world, and some people can't even be called people, although Zhang Chi's parents are not unreasonable, but standing in Merica's position, worry is definitely worried.
If my mother-in-law and father-in-law want to come to live in my own house, I have to rejoice, and it is estimated that it is unlikely to be put in a normal country now.
"I want them to stay a little longer, but it's impossible for them to like it here, they have no relatives here, they're almost like going to prison, don't talk about this, even if it's the county seat, they don't want to go" Zhang Chi said with a smile.
For the elderly, the four words of hard to leave the homeland are not in vain.
In the past, Zhang Chi's sister said that everyone moved to the county seat, in this case, she could take care of it nearby, but the old man didn't agree at all, and the grandparents were even more stubborn that even if they died, they would die in their hometown, and after they died, they would be buried in the ancestral grave nearby.
Merica didn't quite understand this kind of homeland plot, because it seemed that Westerners didn't care about this, and wherever they went, it became their homeland, but this did not prevent Merica from breathing a sigh of relief in her heart.
