Chapter 44 Weeding Rabbit

She was sleeping beautifully, and suddenly, Jian Heng felt something dripping on his face in a daze. He reached out and touched it in a daze, feeling a little cold. He wanted to ignore it and turn around and continue sleeping, but soon felt the same on his side.

"What are you doing!"

Jian Heng was so angry that he got up, he sat up all of a sudden, wiped his face and said impatiently.

After saying that, he opened his eyes and woke up instantly, because at this moment a drop of water dripped down again, and this time it hung directly on the tip of Jian Heng's nose.

Jian Heng was a little puzzled: "Damn it, where did you get the water?"

After talking to himself, Jian Heng quickly found the source of the water. When his consciousness was completely awake, the rustling sound of rain outside immediately came to his ears.

Just thinking about the rain, another drop of rain dripped down.

Jian Heng moved his body, stood on the bed and looked up at the roof, and soon found the source of the rain. There was a wet trace directly opposite the top of the bed. It was obvious that the rain was seeping through that.

After rubbing his head hard, Jian Heng calmed down his mood, took a cup of water and placed it in the dripping place to collect the water.

After putting the cup, Jian Heng immediately started to check the whole room to see if there was any leak in any place. The problem of this inspection immediately came because all the other rooms in the whole room except the kitchen did not leak.

Jian Heng is now a little lucky to have slept in his original room. If he had slept in the old man's room, he would have probably become a trash now.

The old man's house was dripping with water, like a tap that was not tightened, and there was more than one place. If it was squeezed together, it could form a shower.

After looking at all the rooms, Jian Heng found that there were no less than ten places where water seeped. It seemed that the whole house had to be re-entered. This situation was no longer something that could be dealt with by repairing.

Seeing that he couldn't sleep anymore, Jian Heng raised his hand and looked at the watch. The time was at 4:30 in the morning. According to the normal schedule of the ranch, it was generally time to get up and work at this time.

Thinking of this, Jian Heng simply took out the strong light flashlight he had used in the cabinet, twisted it and found that this thing was still useful, so he copied it in his hand and began to inspect the annexes of pastures such as the forage room and the livestock shed.

The forage room is better, there are no leaks, only a few small seepage places, just a simple repair, and you don’t even have to hire someone to solve this job, Jian Heng can solve it himself.

After seeing the forage room, Jian Heng moved to the cafeteria again.

When he arrived at the door, Jian Heng twisted the door of the livestock a few times and found that the iron latch was almost rusted. He grabbed the rust with his hands a little bit. After twisting it hard for several times, he heard a squeaking sound that made people's back spine cold. With the strength, he finally opened the latch.

When he opened the door, a familiar smell of cow dung immediately came to his face. He hadn't smelled this smell for several years. Suddenly, Jian Heng found that he was so mean that he felt that this smell seemed to be quite missed. This thought made Jian Heng's heart twist.

Click!

Jian Heng was about to step in when he suddenly heard a sound, and subconsciously stopped! Then he turned the flashlight and shone in the direction of the sound, and immediately found a piece of wood the size of an adult's arm fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Jian Heng's reaction was fast, otherwise this thing would have hit Jian Heng's forehead. When he raised his head, he pushed the flashlight upwards. Jian Heng found a hole the size of a palm leaked from the roof of his left hand.

"My God, can you still have fun?"

Jian Heng's face immediately became mournful. Now Jian Heng had to increase the cost of repairing the house again in his heart. Nearly 10,000 yuan was needed for the housing and the roof here, not to mention the roof. Other places are foolproof? How is it possible!

Sighing, Jian Heng turned his head and walked back, and the livestock that had fallen down. How could Jian Heng go in when it was so dark? It would be better to wait for dawn before talking honestly.

Back in the house, Jian Heng sat back to the table, avoided the dripping water and took out the pen and paper, and began to make a list.

Make a list of what you need in the ranch according to the priorities and check what you are anxious about in front of it, that is what you must buy or do.

The first thing to do is to have a car. Cars play an important role in Americans' daily life. There are many choices of cars used in cities, but for a rancher, there are not many choices. It's a bit pretentious if you don't say much. In fact, there is only one type of pickup truck, which is very convenient to pull people and goods.

If Jian Heng was not owed money, he could get a F650 with the money he sold to Da Ben, but now he is short of money, so Jian Heng has to settle for the second best. It is best to get a F150 or something like that, but the price is low enough.

Living within one's means! When Jian Heng's bid for Berkeley was not finally released, he felt that he could save as much as possible, otherwise he would have a headache when the final tax filing deadline was on April 15th.

After the list was finished, it was already bright outside. Jian Heng stretched his waist and stood under the corridor.

Now the rain has stopped, and the rising sun in the east has jumped out of the distant ridge. The sun is not very eye-catching at this time, and even the sun is a little cold.

Jian Heng was breathing the fresh morning air while doing chest expansion exercises.

The air on the ranch is two levels refreshing than New York. At first, I felt a little cool and pierced, but after taking a few sips, I could immediately smell the chilled air, wrapped in the moist earthy fragrance and a strong sweet pasture aroma.

At this time, Jian Heng wanted to ride a horse, and wanted to ride on the horse with lightning speed. Unfortunately, there was only an empty shell left in the pasture, and there was no cow. Where did the horse come from?

Such a beautiful scenery and such a good sky, Jian Heng felt particularly disappointed with no horse. He took out the newly written note, looked through it, and then put a hook in front of the horse.

Horses in the United States are not expensive. Of course, this inexpensive refers to ordinary horses, not those with famous horses or good-bred horses. Those horses are much more expensive than sports cars.

Jian Heng said it was an ordinary horse riding horse. A gentle horse riding horse was only 300 to 400 US dollars. A younger age, a stronger one was only 500 US dollars. It was very cheap. Jian Heng decided to get two to three horses first to solve the urgent problem and to make him happy when he was fine.

While looking for riding a horse, Jian Heng glanced out of the corner of his eyes and saw Erhu's gray shadow slipping past him.

"Hey, have you finished eating the weeds in the pasture?" Jian Heng saw Erhu jumping back to the underside of the corridor, and couldn't help but ask.

Jian Heng was also frustrated. He felt unhappy if he didn't have a horse to ride. Seeing Erhu was about to scold a rabbit and exclaim.

Erhu naturally couldn't answer. He stared at Jian Heng with red eyes and looked honestly lying on the broken sofa, making him look like he was ready to go to bed.

"Your uncle, don't work hard!" Jian Heng was just looking for trouble. He pointed at Erhu, turned his head and looked around, preparing to see where there was no grass left to chew, and the training happened to start.

It was so amazing that Jian Heng found that wherever he looked, he could not see the annoying weed he had fed Erhu yesterday.

"Damn it, it's not so awesome, a rabbit-shaped weeder!" Jian Heng immediately walked into the grass, regardless of the rain, and the grass stems were covered with water droplets, so he started to check around.

While walking, Jian Heng became happier as he looked. After walking for more than ten minutes, Jian Heng did not find the weed that he hated the most. Jian Heng didn't know what the scientific name of this thing was, but people nearby called it a bitter face grass, which means that as long as the grass grows in the pasture, the rancher would have to have a bitter face.

Weeds are much more tenacious than forage. Ordinary herbicides do not have much effect on it. Professional herbicides will affect the quality of the forage. If the grass is not good, the cattle raised will naturally not be sold at a high price.

Now Erhu opened his mouth and directly wiped out this grass. Jian Heng felt that such a little happiness came a little too suddenly. He happily hummed the untuned song and continued to check forward.

I was happy and walked quickly. Soon I arrived at the edge of the fence of the ranch. There were 1.6 meters high wooden fences and three barbed wires separated the two ranches. This was the Silent Lake Ranch and the other was the Morey's ranch.

The Morey family's ranch is smaller, only more than 1,600 acres. The family mainly raises meat sheep and a small number of alpacas. Anyway, Jian Heng's family was like this before leaving the ranch, and I wonder if it is like this now.

Just as I was thinking about this, I heard someone calling me.

Jian Heng turned his head and found that about twenty meters away from his left hand, Emma, ​​the eldest daughter of Morey's family, was rushing to ride on a horse and waved at him.

Jian Heng raised his hand and raised it over his head and signaled to her.

“When did you come back?”

"Yesterday afternoon," Jian Heng asked again, "Is shepherd the sheep?"

"Otherwise, I don't have much education. Can I still go to the White House?" Emma joked.

Just as Emma was talking, a young cowboy walked to her side. The young man wore a gray baseball cap and had a beard. He could not tell his exact age, but he should be down at the age of thirty.

"My husband, Will"

"Hello, Will!"

"Good morning, Henry!" Will smiled at Jian Heng and pinched the brim of the baseball cap, saying hello.

Emma asked again after introducing the article: "Have you been here?"

Seeing Jian Heng nodding, she said again: "Why would you lend you a horse and you just go north to take a look. A large fence on your ranch was damaged by a bison. From time to time, you can see herds of cattle come in and steal the grass."

"I can't care about them now!" Jian Heng raised his hand and looked at the watch. Before he knew it, he had walked for almost twenty minutes. So he said goodbye to Emma and his wife, preparing to turn around and go home, because the lawyer would come soon.

Just as Jian Heng turned around, Will's surprise voice came: "Emma, ​​Emma, ​​come here, this piece of bitter-faced grass is gone!"

"Wow, it's really gone!" Emma also shouted in surprise: "Let's look around again. If there isn't, it would be a miracle."

Hearing the conversation between the couple, Jian Heng said in his heart: Damn, Rabbit has also learned from Lei Feng!
