Chapter 521: Winter Daily
The two of them chatted and teased their daughter, the little girl was happy as long as she opened her eyes, not to mention how flattering it was, the two of them really didn't know how to describe their state of mind as a first-time parent, but these days are getting more and more enjoyable.
Snow is the norm in winter, and the sprinkling of snow has not deterred Zhang Chi's cattle from going out to graze, and every day the cowboys have to drive them outside to eat grass for several hours.
During the day, the weather was minus twenty or thirty degrees Celsius, and not a single cow was frostbitten, because all the cattle were now covered with thick winter wool and hugged their newborn calves.
The sheep are doing worse, except for the noon when they can be released to eat and graze, and if it is cloudy and snowing, they have to stay in the sheepfold.
As soon as the snow stopped, Zhang Chi began to get busy, the roads flooded by the heavy snow had to be reopened, the cattle had to be driven out of the cowshed again, the cowshed had to be cleaned again, and a layer of sawdust had to be re-paved.
In short, the ranch is full of work now.
For Zhang Chi, a Chinese, the New Year is just around the corner, but for Cannon, the most important festival of the year has passed, and ranch work is now the focus of life.
Changing into a frost-resistant coat, Zhang Chi tied himself into a human ball, and from the door of the house, he pulled his legs to the agricultural machinery hangar, his body was slightly out of the man, and the goggles were also dyed with a layer of surging hot mist.
Entering the door of the agricultural hangar, Zhang Chi took off the goggles on his head, wiped them with gloves, and then muttered: "This is too cold."
"Of course it's cold, if it's not cold at this time, when will it be cold, it's the coldest day of the year."
Xavier was in the machine machine room, and he couldn't stop adding oil to the joints and contact points of the machine with oil in his hand, apparently maintaining the machine.
Zhang Chi didn't ask much, these jobs were all arranged by Cannon, Zhang Chi asked if he wanted to, and if he didn't want to ask, he was relieved.
"Is this done?" Zhang Chi patted the snowplow and asked.
Xavier glanced at Zhang Chi and said, "You don't have to open it, Dominic has already started clearing the snow just now, and it is estimated that it has not been swept to your side for a while."
Before dawn in the morning, in fact, as soon as the snow stopped, the cowboys were already busy, and Cannon assigned the tasks, and everyone was busy, and no one would be lazy, because no one else could help you finish your work, and if you couldn't finish the assigned work, it would only prove one thing: you were not suitable for working on the ranch, and you couldn't eat the cowboy's bowl of rice!
Of course, every task is not so easy to complete, and there are not many high-tech jobs on the ranch, which are careful and practical, and can do similar things for hours, days, and years.
"Dominic snow plowing?"
Saying that, Zhang Chi stood at the door of the agricultural hangar, looked around, and after looking for a while, he found that there was a small red dot moving on the snow-white ground, which was the appearance of his own snowplow.
Someone had done the work, so Zhang Chi was not going to do it again, he saw Xavier busy for almost a minute, and then raised his feet and walked towards the cowshed.
When they arrived at the barn, they found that there were only two cowboys in the cowshed, one was Kevin, and the other was Cannon's son Dieter.
Seeing Dieter, Zhang Chi was a little strange, and asked this kid, "Why are you here?" ”
Now most of the work in the cowshed is a machine, like now, Kevin drives a machine that shovels cow dung, a bit like a small forklift, but this fork is cow dung, semi-wet cow dung mixed with sawfoam sticking into a ball, this machine can separate this kind of balls from the general saw, shovel a bucket can be sent to the bucket of the three jumpers, so that the three jumpers are transported to the manure yard.
As for the weather is very cold, how to start the three jumpers with batteries and other tools, if you can't think of this, the cowboys can exhaust themselves to death, these things are of course put in a closed better library, such as a tool library, in the winter to seal the window, and will be connected to one or two stoves inside, and do not need how high the temperature in the library is, just let the temperature in the library, can ensure that all the needed machines can be started the next day.
Sometimes even some machines don't turn off the engine at all, such as the pickup truck commonly used by Zhang Chi at home, the engine is just turned on, and the oil is burning all the time, just to prevent the temperature from getting too low.
Dieter saw Zhang Chi and said with a smile: "I'll come over to help my dad work."
Zhang Chi didn't ask much, but looked at the situation of the cowshed, according to Zhang Chi's estimate, this work has been done for at least more than an hour, and the two have almost cleared out thirty percent of the area.
The place cleaned up, Zhang Chi is quite satisfied, there is no smell of cleaning in the cowshed, then it is nonsense, the cattle eat and drink Lazar are here, not to mention anything else, but the smell of urine is a big problem, you use chemical agents to wash it off naturally, but in this way, your pasture is polluted, and the gains outweigh the losses.
So the smell is stinky, the scorching point is scorching, smelling more and smelling more, and getting used to it will not be stinky.
After chatting with Kevin for a few more words, Zhang Chi came to the stable, put on the Red Flame Mountain, and released the little colored horse, Zhang Chi had two horses for one person, and then followed the shoveled out of the road and went to the west pasture to have a look.
At this time, you have to take the main road, and it is definitely not possible to take any horse road, because the sweeper of the horse road is never as diligent as you, and you go out as soon as the snow stops early in the morning, and these guys are too lazy to take it for a month, and the snow on the road can directly flood a horse.
There is also this time to walk the road, especially easy to fall into the river, the snow cover is too thick, just like the people who live nearby do not necessarily remember all the roads, the road is very large next to the river, don't look at the snow so big, but the river under the snow is living water, it is very likely to be sealed, you are going to fall in, wet pants up, go home and estimate that your leg is almost the same should be sent to the hospital.

Honestly walk the main road, go out from the gate, follow the road until you come to the door of your good neighbor Lao Liu's house, then go up to the town, go to the center of the town, walk along the first avenue to the west, and come to the gate of the west ranch.
When he arrived at the door, Zhang Chi couldn't help but nodded, because the snow on the road from the road to the door had been cleared.
Looking inside, a snow trail stretches from the doorway all the way in.
Riding into the ranch, Zhang Chi found that this side was also in order.
It's just that I'm unlucky today, the first person Zhang Chi saw in the West Ranch was Isaac, an old guy with a lot of character, a good level but not too good at being a person, if it weren't for his good level, Zhang Chi would have gotten him out of here.
But at this moment, Zhang Chi was smiling: "Isaac, good morning."
"Good morning".
Isaac replied, which sounded pretty good, but with his dead face, what kind of heartwarming sentences spewed out of his mouth, it was like a dead parent.
Zhang Chi glanced at the female student next to Isaac, and said that the female student was not young, and the two were boyfriend and girlfriend, as mentioned above.
"George, good morning".
Women are quite good at mixing, I don't know if you have found it, anyway, Zhang Chi thinks that these women who are engaged in scientific research are not all, many of these that Zhang Chi has come into contact with are related to professors, scientific research masters or something.
Of course, in the American environment, it is not too strange who has a leg with whom.
But Zhang Chi always feels that when it comes to academic issues, don't think crookedly, the academic problems Zhang Chi said are academic problems, not indoor academic problems.
"Hello" Zhang Chi was polite with this person.
Zhang Chi didn't care about Isaac and his schoolgirl, nodded with the two of them, and rode his horse and continued to walk inside.
What Zhang Chi didn't know was that the female student looked at Zhang Chi's back, was stunned thoughtfully, and then a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she took Isaac to the laboratory with her.
Isaac seemed to sense the change in the mood of the woman next to him, and opened his mouth to say, "Don't beat his idea."
"I don't have that in mind," the woman chuckled.
"That's for the best," Isaac said.
Isaac is not a pure two hundred and five as Zhang Chi thinks, if you think about it carefully, Isaac can survive in such a fiercely competitive public welfare research institution, that ability must be necessary, with his dead face, he has not been taken down yet, which proves that this product is not just an academic brain.
Isaac actually knew what the young woman next to him wanted by his side, and the reason why he didn't drive away was because he didn't care, he had a woman to sleep with for free, and he wasn't stupid, he slept when he came, and he didn't hesitate to go.
I have to say that Isaac is a bit of the essence of Buddhist scriptures: not taking the initiative, not refusing, not being responsible.
Isaac looks down on Zhang Chi, that's for sure, from the moment he saw Zhang Chi, Isaac didn't look up to him, but he also admitted that Zhang Chi was rich, richer than him, and Rickman like Zhang Chi must attract girls, at least most girls.
Isaac has also seen it these days, Zhang Chi is a person who is afraid of trouble, such a person is generally good, at least he is unlikely to be seduced by such a good person next to him.
Glancing at the woman beside him, Isaac said no more.
Zhang Chi didn't know that he was choreographed early in the morning, he looked at his pasture with a smile, looking at the snow-white earth, a lump of black cattle was concentrating on the snow and eating tender grass, his heart was warm, it seemed that a big green ticket was waltzing on the snow.
After looking around, there is no big problem, and Zhang Chi didn't mention the small problem or anything, if he cares too much, there is no way to do the cowboys' work.
Everything is satisfied, then go back.
Follow the way you came and go back again.
When he arrived at the gate of his ranch, he found Jennifer's car in front of him.
