Chapter 77: Pushing too hard
After changing into clean clothes, Jian Heng answered several phone calls from the room to the door of the house, all of which meant the same thing, that is, he couldn't come to the ranch to help with his backache and leg pain today.
"Well, okay, I know, pay attention to rest, I'm fine here" Jian Heng put down the phone.
The two sisters, Barley and Wheat, also finished their work at this time, and were about to go into the house to wash, when they passed by Jian Heng's side, they found that he had a shy bitter gourd face, and couldn't help asking.
"What's wrong? Don't be so stingy, aren't you happy if you lose a game? Wheat said.
Now that the barley and the wheat are clearly separated, it is not that he will be able to distinguish them in the future, but now the barley is almost soaked, and the wheat is only about half wet, so it is easy to distinguish the two sisters.
"How could I be so careful, it's a group of cowboys who used too much force yesterday, all of them hurt themselves, and some of them had a little difficulty getting up today, obviously they can't come over to help today" Jian Heng took the phone in his hand and shook it at the two sisters.
"You should give them the drink we drank last night, so they can work again today," Big Mac said
"You think it's that easy to concoct?" Jian Heng glanced at Damai.
"Is it difficult?" Barley can't remember how hard it is to make a fruit and vegetable juice.
Simple is simple, but Jian Heng didn't want the two of them to know that they could prepare vegetable juice with a few stirrings, so he opened his mouth and said: "There is a secret recipe to be used here, it is very brain-consuming!" ”
Speaking of this, Jian Heng reached out and tapped his head.
Barley and Wheat were both very curious, but they didn't open their mouths to ask, because they had all heard Jian Heng's so-called 'teacher training' that passed on the son but not the daughter.
Although the hearts of the two of them seemed to be scratched by thousands of cat's claws, they still couldn't help but ask.
Wheat shifted the subject: "So what about today?" ”
Jian Heng took a look at the livestock shed that had been demolished and only a small piece of wall remained, and first sighed before saying, "What else can I do, wait for everyone to recover!" ”
He said this, but he thought in his heart: After two days of work in one day, you can't take three days off, right?
"Then let's go upstairs, if you want to ride a horse, you can ride," Wheat said, and gestured to the washed bad horse.
Jian Heng glanced at the horse, then raised his legs and walked towards the inferior horse, and as he walked, he also picked up barley and wheat on his mouth: "You two wash the horses?" I'm a little skeptical! ”
Big Mac replied disdainfully, "Before you have seen the horse, we will wash the horse!" Let me tell you this, when we were six years old, we had our own ponies, which were two little ponies, and we not only had to wash the horses every day, but also be responsible for feeding the horses, shoveling horse manure, and almost all the work was done by the two of us, what were you doing when you were six years old? ”
"When I was six years old, I started to set up a stall on the side of the road," Jian Heng bragged.
In fact, when Jian Heng was six years old, he still followed his sister around, his sister Jian An'an was older than his younger brother Jian Heng was six or seven years old, Jian Heng was six or seven years old, Jian An'an was going to junior high school, at that time Jian Heng's parents were busy with work, Jian An'an had to cook for his younger brother Jian Heng and take care of Jian Heng every day before going to school, and then he had to send his younger brother to kindergarten, almost half of his mother's work. Six-year-old Jian Heng can't even peel an eggshell.
As the only boy in the family, Jian Heng is a treasure, or he will not develop a bold and fat temperament, and he will run away from home when there is a conflict and be fooled into coming to the United States to work as a coolie.
"Really?"
The McAvoy sisters didn't believe Ben.
"I've done more powerful work, I'll be able to add and subtract within a hundred at the age of six, and it's also mental arithmetic!" Jian Heng said.
As soon as they said this, the McAvoy sisters were dumbfounded, let alone six years old, even if they didn't have to count ninety-eight plus sixty-five for any tools now, they would be stuck. Lao Mei is almost blind to mathematics without the calculator.
Seeing their faces, Jian Heng waved his hand proudly: "You guys hurry up and go upstairs, or wait for Zhao Changshan and them to come over and see you like this!" ”
Stretched out his hand and nodded at the two of them: "Zhao Changshan is a little older and a little determined, Xiao Huang and Xiao Zhao must not be able to bear it, and they will lose HP!" ”
After rewarding Jian Heng with a middle finger, the sisters went upstairs.
Jian Heng pulled the horse to look left and right, and found that the two sisters had really cleaned the horse, and it turned out that a bad horse now looked a little brighter, much brighter than before.
It's a pity that a bad horse is always a bad horse!
Neither in terms of skeletal structure, nor in terms of endurance and intelligence, this horse is not at all outstanding, and the only thing to say about the past is to be honest.
Let's put it this way, this horse's temper is really a thief, and there is no hurry to get it. But if you want it to run fast, the rider will have to suck hard.
And this horse is a little silly, and he has to be a step slower to pay attention to his master's intentions.
The horse is an inferior horse, for a mature rider, this horse is very bad, but for novices, this horse is very applicable, and Jian Heng has not found that it has the appearance of resistance until now, and there is no impatience to throw the rider off the horse, and the horse's spleen is so good that it is rare.
When Jian Heng was watching the horses, Zhao Changshan came over in a brand-new Tantu pickup.
"Hey, what's wrong today?" Zhao Changshan got out of the car and saw that there was only Jian Heng, and there was no car around, so he asked puzzledly.
Jian Heng said: "What's wrong? Yesterday everyone worked too hard and injured themselves, and today they are all resting at home."
"Then let's do it," Zhao Changshan said.
Jian Heng looked at the four of them, shook his head and said, "Forget it, everyone should rest today."
It's okay for the four of them to fight, and it's a bit too much to expect them to do the work.
As mentioned above, the cowboys on the American ranch are all all-rounders, and each of them has mastered several crafts in the long-term ranch life, which is not comparable to Zhao Changshan's people, let them do it today, maybe they will have to rework when the cowboys come, it is better to wait for them to rest and then do it.
"Nothing? Boss, can I learn to ride a horse with you? ”
Xiao Zhao, that is, Zhao Changshan's nephew Zhao Wei, suddenly paid attention to the freshly washed inferior horse, for a man from China who did not grow up in the grassland, it was a very fashionable thing to ride a horse. Being able to gallop on the back of a horse may be a dream that every boy has rooted in his heart since he was a child.
"Yes, what's not to do!" Jian Heng immediately agreed.
Jian Heng is not the kind of boss who likes to put on music, as long as there is nothing to do, Jian Heng can even give his subordinates a holiday, and he will not ask for any working hours, unlike some bosses who have to stay in front of them honestly even if they have nothing to do.
Huang Xiaodong also raised his hand when he heard it: "I also want to learn."
Jian Heng looked at Zhang Jialiang: "What about you, you've been here for almost a month, can you ride a horse?" ”
"I had an early meeting, and I learned to ride a horse with Dominic within a few days of coming, and now I can trot on horseback, but I have been busy for the past few days and have not continued to practice," Zhang Jialiang said proudly.
Jian Heng listened and stretched out his finger and pointed at the inferior horse: "From the saddle to the ride, you try."
Zhang Jialiang looked pretentious: "Brother, you can't trust me!" ”
Walking to the side of the inferior horse, Zhang Jialiang looked left and right, as if he was looking for something.
"Looking for what?" Zhao Changshan asked.
"Where's the carrot?" Zhang Jialiang asked.
Jian Heng snorted: "You have to bring an entourage when you ride a horse!" You can't ride a horse without carrots? ”
"First of all, I want to exchange feelings, this horse is familiar with you, but not with me! Even if it's an individual, you can't say hello first? Feeding a carrot is also a means of our affection with Marat....".
Seeing Zhang Jialiang's endless style, Jian Heng said: "Yo, I don't think you want to ride a horse, come a few more times I suspect that you are going to buy a diamond ring for the horse to get married!" ”
Huang Xiaodong was diligent and clever, as soon as Zhang Jialiang asked for carrots, he immediately trotted into the kitchen and quickly took a few out, first gave Zhang Jialiang one, then handed it to Zhao Changshan, Zhao Wei, and finally kept one for himself.
Jian Heng saw Huang Xiaodong's movements, and couldn't help but nod his head secretly in his heart.
"Who wants to buy a diamond ring?"
At this time, Damai and Wheat had already changed their clothes and came out, and when they heard Jian Heng say that the diamond ring immediately asked with interest, who did they think they were proposing.
Zhao Changshan explained with a smile.
"You're mean!" The two sisters understood, and happily scolded Jian Heng.
At this time, Zhang Jialiang had already fed the inferior horse, began to put the mat on the horse's back, pulled the mat to the correct position, and then checked whether the left and right sides were the same length, and when he turned the horse, his hand did not leave the horse's body.
This is the correct posture, and holding your hand on the horse's butt can let the horse know where you are and prevent the horse from accidentally kicking the horse's hooves and hurting people.
The next saddle, tight belt this set down is almost no big mistake, if you insist on picking something wrong, it will take too long, the whole set down this guy was stunned for almost ten minutes, not to mention people, it is estimated that the horse is a little uncomfortable.
But this is also the only way for novices, the work is like this, you can only be familiar with it if you do more hands, the same set of work can be completed by Jian Heng in two or three minutes, and Zhang Jialiang has to start in more than ten minutes. From ten minutes to two or three minutes, it corresponds to the fact that Jian Heng has ridden a horse for four or five years, while Zhang Jialiang has only ridden for less than a month.
Watching Zhang Jialiang get on the horse, he rode a bad horse and walked two steps before urging the horse to trot, the whole action was a little bit reined, but it was quite correct, it seems that Dominic, the new friend made by Zhang Jialiang, has obviously put a lot of effort into this item.
"Yes, the movements are pretty standard, but the disadvantage is that it's a little too focused on the essentials of the movements, and it's better to relax a little more...."
Before Jian Heng made a comment, the two sisters of Barley and Wheat talked about the advantages and disadvantages of Zhang Jialiang's riding skills.
"Okay, it's okay today, let's teach them to ride horses!" Jian Heng looked at it, they had something to do today.
Barley and Wheat looked at Jian Heng and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Me? Check it out in town! Jian Heng said.
Hearing that Jian Heng was going to enter the city, Damai and Wheat immediately said, "It just so happens that we are also going to buy a few clothes, which are not suitable for wearing in the pasture."
"Okay!" Jian Heng beckoned to the two of them and motioned for the two to get into the car with him.
