Hearing that Zhang Chi won Lao Liu's ranch, everyone congratulated him.

Many people know that Zhang Chi participated in the auction and bought tens of thousands of acres of ranch at a reasonable price close to the market price.

But not many ordinary people know what the ranch Zhang Chi got is like, the cattle and sheep have been sold, and the agricultural machinery is gone, as for where did all the money go?

I don't know, at this time, the so-called most bullish IRS is also blind, as for the police or something, maybe the biggest one also joined the party.

But these are all over for Zhang Chi, and Zhang Chi is not in the mood to care about these now, his first task is to sort out the ranch as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the buildings in the ranch are all there, except for the old house that burned down.

Zhang Chi and Merica were taking Cannon and Brian to look at the ranch together.

Now there is not even a cowboy in the ranch, since the cow is gone, the cowboy is naturally gone, those people can't have the cow gone, and let the cowboy stay here, even if the cowboy loses his job and goes out to ask for food, what does it have to do with them.

"Old Zhang!"

When he arrived at the gate of the ranch, Zhang Chi found that Lao Liu had actually come today.

This was something he didn't expect.

I originally thought that when I saw Lao Liu, I would be happy in my heart, and yelled: You Lao Liu also has today! It's an eye-opener.

However, seeing Lao Liu's appearance at the moment, Zhang Chi felt that he didn't seem to be as happy as he thought.

At this moment, Lao Liu's hair is already gray, and it is still much whiter, less gray, and his face does not have the original oily luster, and the old folds on his face are left, which looks at least thirty years older than the last time Zhang Chi saw him.

There is no longer the momentum of looking at people before, and Lao Liu at this moment has no luster in his eyes, like a half-dead person.

"Lao Liu!"

Zhang Chi got out of the car.

Lao Liu squeezed out a little smile at Zhang Chi, then took out a key from his pocket, pinched it between his two fingers, and sent it to Zhang Chi.

"This is the key to the gate of the ranch, and from today it belongs to you".

Lao Liu stunned Zhang Chi.

Because Zhang Chi has been in the ranch several times, and Lao Liu's previous key was changed by the bank.

In other words, the key he sent at the moment no longer has any meaning.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Chi finally stretched out his hand and took the key.

"Let's go, let's go in and have a look," Lao Liu said.

After speaking, Lao Liu walked to the gate of the ranch.

Before Zhang Chi could keep up, Lao Liu turned his head and smiled at Merika: "Big sister, can you let me talk to Lao Zhang?" ”

Merika listened and reached out and made a gesture of please, meaning that you two spoke slowly.

Zhang Chi listened and followed, and walked forward side by side with Lao Liu, while Merika and the three of them followed the two of them about 20 meters after the next year.

Silent!

Coming in from the gate, they kept walking like this, Zhang Chi didn't know what to say, Lao Liu seemed to be thinking about it, so the two of them came from the door to the ruins of the original big house.

Standing next to him, Lao Liu looked at the black wasteland that he could vaguely see, which was the trace left by the fire.

Standing here, Zhang Chi also looked at this place, and couldn't help but think of what he had seen this place before, a pure Western-style multi-storey palace style building, which was called a luxury, so that a countryman like Zhang Chi didn't know what words to use to praise it.

But it's a pity that a fire, just a fire, destroyed this thing, leaving only this ruin, and in a few months, when spring comes to the earth again, waiting for Zhang Chi to take over the tidying up, even this bit of black soil is afraid that there will be no left.

Only the old people will remember that there is a magnificent palace here, and in a few decades, when the old people have passed away, the children of future generations will only be able to appreciate the beauty of that palace from photos.

After looking at it in a daze for a long time, Lao Liu said quietly: "The world is a dream, but it's a pity that I used to understand it, but I couldn't understand it, I was always blindfolded by the glitz, and I never knew this world!" ”

Zhang Chi was a little confused by Lao Liu, and thought: Big brother, when is this special thing, and you will drag the text to me? Looks like you're cultured, isn't it?

Lao Liu really didn't have this mood, he just sighed, not for Zhang Chi, but at this moment he can be said to be separated from his wife, and all the original calculations have come to naught.

Originally, people like Lao Liu also had a way out, but Lao Liu was wrong, and his back road was left for himself to be a dead end.

】

Originally, he thought that his dependence became ridiculous all of a sudden, his wife left with the child, he felt that it was expected, he had no money, although his wife was not young, but she was still beautiful, how could there be fewer enthusiastic men.

But what he never expected was that the person closest to him, the woman who married his own life, actually valued money more than himself...... Alas, Lao Liu didn't want to think about it anymore.

Lao Liu knew that the ranch was no longer his, he came here this time to talk to Zhang Chi, and he didn't know what was going on, the so-called old friend in the past, he wanted to find it, but people didn't like him anymore.

Once when we met, it was Brother Liu, Brother Liu's affectionate call, and now I have called over, and the people who answer the phone are their secretaries, either this is in a meeting or that there is something.

Lao Liu didn't know how to drop, and felt that Zhang Chi would definitely talk to him.

Lao Liu doesn't hate Zhang Chi, he really doesn't hate, because he knows that even if there is no Zhang Chi, there will be Li Chi and Wang Chi, because what he is remembered about is not dealing with Zhang Chi, but the money he used to have.

Guilty of it!

This is the biggest reason why I am in this situation.

Some people can't see themselves clearly when they are rich, and they can't see many things clearly, and once they are poor, they can't eat a few meals, and they will be transparent, and they will let go of any hatred and hatred.

"How much did you buy it?" Lao Liu asked.

Zhang Chi quoted the price.

"Hehe, you really didn't take any advantage," Lao Liu said with a smile.

"How can I be qualified to take advantage of such a advantage," Zhang Chi shook his head.

Lao Liu said: "That's right, we are always outsiders in the eyes of others, if you add a definite word, it is an outsider who can be taken away by life and death."

We, the people, will never be Americans! ”

"It's you who want to, I don't think about it," Zhang Chi said.

Lao Liu smiled, did not refute Zhang Chi's words, and after a while, he talked to himself about his childhood.

tells how he didn't eat or drink when he was a child, how he floated to Hong Kong City with a gasoline can, and then how he made money step by step.

Zhang Chi listened a little fascinated, because Lao Liu's story was very attractive, Zhang Chi asked himself, if he was in Lao Liu's world, he would definitely not be as capable as Lao Liu, and he could break out of his own way.

"I've lived so long in my life, and only now do I know that I am still the young man who swims towards that little bit of light in the cold sea with a gasoline can......."

Get!

Zhang Chi said in his heart: This guy has started literature and art again.

Lao Liu sighed for a while, and said to Zhang Chi: "Lao Zhang, I advise you."

"You say," Zhang Chi snorted.

"Don't put your eggs in one basket, and don't believe these people's words, whatever they say is false and empty, let's be outsiders here ......forever," Lao Liu said.

"I didn't treat them as my own."

Zhang Chi knew who Lao Liu was referring to, and what Zhang Chi said was also the truth, he never thought of himself as an American, and he didn't even think of being Asian.

"Let's go back home and invest some money, here...... Forget it, I'll teach you what to do," Lao Liu said with a smile.

"I was going to wait for the income of the ranch to stabilize, so I thought about renting a piece of land in China to build a ranch ......."

Zhang Chi and Lao Liu talked about their plans.

"Investment is good, the most important thing is to be practical," Lao Liu said.

Zhang Chi was a little speechless: Lao Liu, do you think it's appropriate to tell yourself this?

gives Zhang Chi the feeling that he is a human general, and his words are also good.

"You know me, Cannon, I don't want to treat them harshly, let alone compatriots, and I don't lack any money, it's good to make money, it's a blessing not to lose," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

Lao Liu didn't say anything after hearing this, and continued to stand and look at the black ground in front of him.

"I'm leaving!"

After speaking, Lao Liu turned his head and left, and walked out of more than ten meters in an instant, which made Zhang Chi a little stunned.

Merica and the other three walked up.

"What did you say?"

Zhang Chi smiled: "Strange words, let me return to China to invest, let me not make money for the sake of making money."

Merica thought for a moment, then smiled.

Everyone no longer mentioned Lao Liu, but began to look at the ranch.

The fences on both sides have to be demolished, a group of cattle and sheep have to be moved, and new cowboys have to be recruited.

After half a month of busy work, Amber's long winter is coming.

The cat had been in the cat all winter, and when the air had risen enough to melt the snow, the old turtle awoke from its sleep.

Its awakening marks the official arrival of spring.

Zhang Chi rode Chiyan Mountain, with the second daughter Lizhi sitting in front of him, Merika riding his own horse with his youngest son, and the eldest daughter Huizhi next to him, riding the one-year-old and stupid daughter of Damu, following her parents closely.

Snow melts and grass grows.

There are several streams that flow out of the large ranch.

When urging the horses to pass by, you can always hear the sound of rushing water.

The family, who had run a little sweat, stopped at the side of the creek, first picked the child off the horse's back, and then let the horse go to the stream to drink.

"Spring is coming" Zhang Chi looked at his boundless pasture full of spring and said with a smile.

Merika said: "Yes, the grass has grown, and this year's herd is going to expand again."

"There will be more than 1,000 cows this year," Zhang Chi added.

At this moment, Hui Zhi suddenly shouted at Zhang Chi Merika: "Dad, Mom, look, a mountain lion!" ”

Zhang Chi looked at his daughter's hand.

Sure enough, he saw a mountain lion, blind, standing on a tree branch, looking to his side.

You're still alive!

Zhang Chi naturally remembered this mountain lion, when he came here to buy the first pasture, it was the first trouble for himself.

"This guy is really tough!"

Zhang Chi said.

Merica also said: "It's quite rare! ”

Oh!

The mountain lion roared softly, turned its head and leaped, and disappeared into the woods.
