The black granite crosses are neatly arranged between a group of tombstones, and there is not much difference between them and other tombstones except for the new ones. It's like an old man, so ordinary that he can't recognize it when thrown into the crowd.

From the day after getting the news of the old man's death, Jian Heng flew directly to Montana with the earliest flight, and got off the plane from Calisper, and went directly to the cemetery.

Stoop down and place a bouquet of small white flowers in front of the tombstone, the bouquet has no large flowers, straight stems, straight branches, and dotted with small flowers.

At the first glance of the flower shop, Jian Heng saw it and felt that it was a special match for the old man, so he asked for a big bunch, and he didn't let anyone wrap it, and directly used a rope to tie the root together.

Jian Heng knew that the old man would not blame himself for a while, not only would he not blame him, but if he could speak, he would praise himself for a few sentences.

"I didn't expect that the two of us drank together during the Spring Festival last year, and now I'm lying inside outside!"

Jian Heng bent down, squatted in front of the old man's tomb, looked up and saw a piece of bird droppings on the tombstone, took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped it casually.

"You said that you are really stubborn enough old man, even if you die, you won't leave a thought for others, right?" Jian Heng finished wiping the bird feces and sat on the grass with his buttocks.

Stretched out his hand and folded a grass stalk, held it in his hand and said while playing: "You said that you want to go simply, you can go a little more simply, just donate your ranch to the charity fund, you have nothing to do to beat me up what idea." Oh, knowing that I was just about to make a small fortune, you old man are thinking about me? Can we be so unkind? I just got my fitness trainer certificate, good guy, I haven't been happy yet, you came up and gave me a stick...".

complained in his mouth, but Jian Heng couldn't go on talking anymore, his nose was so sour, and the tears came down unconsciously, he stretched out the back of his hand and wiped his tears twice, calming down his emotions Jian Heng just looked at the tombstone less than a hand's distance from him, which read: Anders Lee, 1940-2017.

When Jian Heng was sixteen years old, Jian Heng had a big quarrel with his own son, that is, Jian Zhenhua, and Jian Heng, who didn't know the height of the sky, ran away from home directly.

Where have sixteen or seventeen-year-old children seen how big the heavens, thinking that they can break out of the world without their parents and their own ability, and when they happened to go to the south to work, they met a 'kind-hearted person' on the long-distance bus and talked about how good the United States is, and then Jian Heng, who was not deeply involved in the world, believed the words of this righteous brother and came to the United States in a daze.

But when I arrived in the United States, I found out that the ghost is so good! He was directly sold to a lumber yard on the border between the United States and Canada by this gang of snakes, where birds do not lay eggs, and there are no people within a radius of hundreds of miles.

In that bird place, people are not afraid of you running at all, so to speak, as long as you don't run out along the road, then there is only one way: death! Follow the road, and in less than ten minutes, someone with a dog will be able to catch you back.

In this place, any stinky temper can be corrected for you! After a few hungry meals, you will lose all your temperament.

Jian Heng realized that even if you die here, others will just throw you into the forest, either feeding the bear or the wolf, and the death is no different from a dog. So Jian Heng worked hard, and from time to time he patted the foreman's ass, and after half a year, he actually became the foreman's little follower, and several times people gave him a chance tentatively, Jian Heng couldn't help but didn't run, and gradually had a little freedom.

Once, when he drove out to buy something with the foreman, the den happened to be raided by the police, and as soon as the little foreman saw that something was wrong, he directly threw down Jian Heng and drove around and ran.

Jian Heng had to wait for the car on the side of the road at minus 20 degrees alone, and waited for the old man who went out to see his daughter come home.

Jian Heng got into the car, and the two began to chat, and when he learned that Jian Heng was Chinese, the old man actually used a simple Chinese, and then Jian Heng knew that the old man's father used to be a military instructor of the Kuomintang X Party, he was born in Nanjing, China, and grew up in China until he was ten years old, and then New China was established, and he returned to the United States with his parents.

Just like that, Jian Heng worked in the old man's Silent Lake Ranch, it didn't take a year, the old man spent money to treat Jian Heng as someone to get American citizenship, and after a few years, Jian Heng wanted to come out to see it, and the old man didn't stop him, this is not Jian Heng went to New York.

The matter is simple, and I have finished talking in two words, but the hardships I have endured in this matter cannot be said for three days and three nights. A sixteen-year-old boy is like falling from heaven to hell all of a sudden, and then Jian Heng knows that on the same earth, there are really people who are not as good as a dog.

The old man can be said to be Jian Heng's life-saving benefactor!

In the pasture for a few years, Jian Heng worked with the old man, one old and one young hired more than 6,000 acres of pasture, except for a few people to help in the particularly busy season, all the work was done by the old man and Jian Heng together.

Sitting in front of the tombstone, Jian Heng recalled the time with the old man, and at the same time talked about the past to the old man's tombstone.

As he was talking, Jian Heng found a figure walking towards him out of the corner of his eye, and when he looked up, he found that it was a sturdy American man, with a gray long-sleeved shirt on his upper body, pants that were washed and a little whitish jeans, and a pair of leather half-height boots on his feet.

"Jane?!" The person who came walked to Jian Heng's side with a curious face, first put the flower in his hand on the old man's tomb, and then looked at Jian Heng for a long time before saying uncertainly.

"Remington?" Jian Heng also recognized the person and stood up directly from the ground.

"Hey man!" Remington immediately came over enthusiastically and stretched out his hand to hug Jian Heng at once: "I haven't seen you for many years, are you okay!" ”

"Very good! What about you, what is life like as a professional footballer? Jian Heng tightened Lemington's tightness, slapped him hard twice before letting him go.

"I'm retired!" Remington's expression darkened when he said this.

"I'm sorry, I don't know" Jian Heng saw the look on Remington's face, and immediately understood that he had encountered someone's sadness.

Remington wanted to laugh, but the expression on his face was very unnatural, and he stretched out and patted Jian Heng's arm: "What about you, I heard that you picked up a Mercedes-Benz, okay, man!" ”

"I guess I picked it up for nothing," Jian Heng sighed.

Hearing Jian Heng say this, Remington thought about it and understood what was going on: "It's better for you to give up Anders's ranch, Anders himself knew before he died, this is a big burden, I have found countless investors, but in the end it was not negotiated." Man, my suggestion is to let the bank take it back! Old Anders won't blame you, it's really too hard to save his ranch, and it really can't be without eight or nine million."

"How can you owe so much money, six million and seven thousand dollars! Where does the old man ask for so much money? Jian Heng said.

The total price of the old man's ranch is about 10 million, and now the real transaction price of a pure animal husbandry ranch like this may not exceed 10 million US dollars, don't look at the 6,400 acres of land (more than 30,000 acres in China) seems to be quite bullish.

But the value of the ranch, the size is one thing, the main thing depends on the building above, the irrigation system, such as the Silent Lake Ranch such as the traditional ranch, ten or twenty acres can feed a cow, and the irrigated pasture can feed a cow as long as five acres, this is the gap! If someone's ranch can cost 30 million dollars, it is only worth 10 million.

"Anders' daughter, you know, right? The elder Anders's lawyer's documents stated that Mary had the right to dispose of the ranch when he was sick, and who knew that as soon as Anders entered the hospital, Mary signed a contract to use the ranch as a countervail, and loaned her company in Los Angeles eight million dollars of capital .....".

When Jian Heng heard him say this, he directly sighed.

The Silent Lake Ranch can be said to be the ancestral heirloom of the old Anders family, so to speak, when Montana was not incorporated into the United States, his ancestors were the owners of this ranch, and when he was working in the ranch, Jian Heng listened to the old man persuade his daughter to come back more than once to take over, but he didn't expect that Mary actually came with the old man behind his back.

Seeing Jian Heng's speechless appearance, Remington continued: "Originally, our family also wanted to buy it, but it was too expensive, the bank's plan was to split the entire ranch into several small pieces and sell it to the rich people in the city as a holiday ranch, and our accountant calculated that it was impossible to get all the six pieces that the bank wanted to divide without 12 million US dollars, not the entire ranch, and it didn't make sense to us, so we had to give up."

Remington said that Jian Heng also understood that when the document was sent to New York, Jian Heng had already looked at his lawyers and accountants in New York, so let's put it this way, now that Jian Heng has inherited the ranch, in fact, it is not much more profitable than buying a ranch of the same size, not only does it not make money, but it may also cost more money.

Some people may not understand, because the inheritance tax of Americans is really too high, and the money they get has to pay a large amount of tax, which can be exempted if it is purely sold, and about 50% of the tax on inheritance of the ranch may have to be paid, plus the inheritance tax, Jian Heng not only has to owe money to the bank, but also has to owe money to the Special Internal Revenue Bureau.

The most important thing is that Jian Heng doesn't like the life of the ranch!

When the big guys in China heard it, good guys, there are more than 6,000 acres of pasture at home, and they don't know how to live a good life. This is actually similar to you having a house in the prosperous area of Beishang Factory, but you get a salary of more than 2,000 yuan. The house is priced at tens of millions, where do you live if you sell it? In the same way, what do you eat when the ranch sells?

Most importantly, there's nothing special about ranch life!

What poetry is written in the book is all nonsense, unless you don't rely on the ranch to make money, you are originally a big president, a big longboard, the ranch is hired to take care of it, and you come to ride a horse to wander, then there is poetry in the ranch.

If you make a living from pastures, you have to start three things every day from almost dawn: eating, sleeping, and shoveling cow! It wasn't until seven or eight o'clock in the evening that the cattle entered the barn. Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, every day, even if you are sick, as long as it is not a dying disease, you have to get up to shovel and repair the shed.

Because if you don't do it, the cow will live in a bad environment, it will get sick, and if it gets seriously ill, it will die! The cattle are all dead, and you can't eat hot even if you are a rancher!

A ranch hood is not good news for Jian Heng now, it is completely a natural disaster! Completely calculated by the old man lying in the mud.
