Chapter 237 I Saw Someone
Throwing the phone back on the bedside table, Zhang Chi smiled at Melika and said, "Continue".

After hearing this, Melika said, "Why do you look like an animal?"

"..." Zhang Chi was a little speechless.

"Who did you learn this from?" Zhang Chi asked.

Melika said: "This is a compliment to you."

"I didn't hear it." Zhang Chi felt that his self-esteem was a little hurt, but then he thought about what he wanted that thing for, so he directly pulled Melika to go into the house to enhance his relationship.

Who knows that this side has not started yet, and Melika said over there: "Listen, there is movement outside".

Zhang Chi stopped and pricked up his ears, and asked, "Where is the movement?"

After hearing this, I found out that there was movement outside, those big white geese in my house were screaming non-stop, because it was a little distance from the house, so if you didn't pay attention, you really couldn't hear it.

If you change places, you may not be able to hear it. The main reason is that the night here is too quiet. If you live in the city, you will not be able to hear the geese from such a long distance. You may not even hear the pigs. Voice.

"Your ears are really sharp." Zhang Chi got out of bed and began to put clothes on his body.

Melika also got out of bed, and the two of them got dressed, went out of the room, and stood under the porch to listen to the movement together.

Now the goose hooting became more pronounced.

"Did the goose be kept in the pen at night?" Melika asked.

"Where is the use of shutting the geese in the pen at this time, let's go, go and have a look," Zhang Chi said.

Melika followed Zhang Chi to the stables, and as soon as they reached the door of the stables, they saw Cannon and Brian already harnessing the horses.

"Boss, Miss Melika"

Seeing Zhang Chi and Melika coming, the two greeted them, but the movements of their hands did not stop.

It was obvious that the two had also heard the geese calling and were going to have a look.

Now the two are squeezed together in the RV, one occupies the bed, and the other directly converts the chair into a temporary bed, just to deal with it.

"Did you also hear the goose call?" Zhang Chi asked.

Cannon nodded: "Well, we are going to take a look. It is definitely not an ordinary thing to make a goose cry like this in the middle of the night."

Zhang Chi hummed, and led Chi Yanshan out of the stable.Melika also brought out her horse, and the couple began to saddle.

During the process of preparing the saddle, the two little guys, Bai Lao and Shiren, were messing around again. Now these two little guys are like two ADHD children, whenever they see something interesting, they will jump on it.

When the two of them prepared everything, Cannon and Brian had already set off.

When Zhang Chi and Melika rushed to the lake, they found that the geese had stopped crowing, and these guys were all quietly sleeping in the pond with their heads under their feathers.

If everyone hadn't heard the geese, Zhang Chi would have thought he was hallucinating.

At this moment, Brian and Cannon were holding flashlights, looking for clues along the edge of the pond.

"Did you find anything?" Zhang Chi got off his horse and asked Cannon.

Cannon shook his head: "I haven't found it yet, but it must be not a small thing that can make a goose cry so loudly. It must be at least about the same size as a goose."

The goose is quite ferocious, otherwise no one would jokingly call the goose one of the three tyrants in the village.

Seeing that Cannon didn't find any clues, Zhang Chi looked at the flock of geese in the pond and began to count them in his heart.

At the moment, there are still a lot of geese on the lake, about seventeen or eight large and small. The main reason is that Zhang Chi and Cannon didn't eat much, and the goose eggs were too fishy, ​​so the eggs laid by the geese were all made by goose. Hatch goslings by themselves.

After counting, Zhang Chi finished counting, and then realized that he didn't know how many geese there were in his house, so he turned his head and asked Cannon.

"By the way, how many geese are there now?"

"Seventeen," Cannon said.

"That's not right, why are there three more?" Zhang Chi was a little confused: "Could it be that I counted wrong?"

Melika said at this time: "You counted correctly, there are twenty."

"What's going on, whose goose has come to us?" Zhang Chi was a little strange.

Brian looked out to the water now.

Tonight's moon is big and bright, and the surface of the lake is like a small mirror.

Brian soon found out, and said to his boss, "Boss, it's not all our geese, there are also three wild ducks mixed in, look over there."

When Zhang Chi heard what Brian said, he took a closer look and found that there were three unidentified guys mixed in with the geese. At first, Zhang Chi thought it was a goose, but he didn't expect it to be a wild duck.

This is easy to distinguish, because the geese in Zhang Chi's family are all domestic geese, unlike the American geese here, which are gray with gray feathers on their wings, and they look like large gray ducks.

Geese are all domesticated from wild geese. There are many varieties of geese in China, but geese here are generally gray and gray, with gray and white feathers on their body.Of course, the fierceness is still the same, but Zhang Chi thinks the taste is average, and it is still not as good as our own domestic goose.

While Zhang Chi was thinking about how these wild ducks came here, Cannon and Brian had already patrolled around, and the two split up and walked around the pond when they met again.

"What is the reason?"

When Cannon saw Brian, he gestured with his eyes. Seeing that Brian shook his head, he knew that Brian hadn't found any problems.

"did not find?"

Zhang Chi asked.

Cannon said: "I didn't find it, but there are almost two choices, either the coyote or the fox, otherwise it is impossible for the big goose to call like that."

"Could it be a mountain lion?"

For no reason, Zhang Chi thought of the mountain lion he hadn't killed last time. It had been so long. Maybe this guy forgot what happened before and ran to his ranch again to find food.

"That's possible," Cannon said immediately.

"However, if it is a mountain lion, we should be able to find footprints. The soil here is a bit soft. If this guy comes over, the footprints will be obvious." Cannon said his inference.

Zhang Chi thought for a while, and felt that Cannon was right.

The four of them stood by the pond, waited for a while, and found that there was no movement around them. The big goose in the pond was motionless on the water, and seemed to be sleeping soundly.

"Let's all go back," Zhang Chi said.

Everyone has to sleep at night, and Cannon and Brian have to work tomorrow, so we can't just stay here.

So the four returned to the stable, unsaddled their respective mounts, and pushed into the compartment.

Just after returning to the house, Zhang Chi heard his cell phone ring.

I took it out and saw that it was my old lady calling.

So I picked up the video immediately.

"Big gallop!"

Zhang Chi took a closer look and couldn't help being amused, because he saw his grandparents sitting beside his mother, and his father stretching his neck behind him, looking like he couldn't squeeze in front of him.

The grandparents, including the mother, seem to have changed their clothes, especially my grandfather, who is also wearing a suit. I don’t know what era the suit is from. It looks like an old photo.

"What kind of monster are you making trouble with?" Zhang Chi asked with a smile.

"Your sister said you were going to get married?" Zhang Chi's mother, Li Xiumei, was in no mood to care about such things now, she was only thinking of seeing her daughter-in-law.

After Zhang Chi left home and returned to the ranch, Li Xiumei continued to worry about her son's marriage, but she suffered from the matchmaker in Siliba Village because of Zhang Chi's blind date during the Chinese New Year, which directly blocked Li Xiumei. What Li Xiumei said, they just don't introduce girls to Zhang Chi.

As for what Li Xiumei said about my son owning land in the United States, many of these matchmakers did not believe it. Even if they believed it, they would shake their heads. If a girl comes out and marries to the United States to become a farmer, isn't that two hundred and fifty.

In the minds of these people, being a farmer is not a good job. If you become a farmer, even if you go to the city to work, you are not called a worker, but a migrant worker.

I used to be a waiter in a restaurant, but now I am farming in the United States, and the quality has not improved much.

Without a matchmaker willing to introduce her, Li Touxiumei couldn't feel at ease at all. Apart from doing some work in the shed to get some wages for others, all her time was spent on finding a partner for her son.

As a result, when I got home at noon today, I saw my son calling, and my daughter made more than a dozen calls in the morning, so I returned one to my daughter first.

Knowing from the girl's mouth that her son is going to get married, she immediately felt that a gold ingot fell from the sky and hit her on the forehead, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

This good news made the four elders happy in an instant, so before they were going to make a video for Zhang Chi, they cleaned up specially.

"Where is the daughter-in-law?"

Li Xiumei was a little anxious, she was already tired of seeing her son's face.

Zhang Chi said to Melika at the door: "Melika, come here."

Melika was about to change clothes, when she heard Zhang Chi's words, she came over: "What's the matter?"

"My parents want to see you," Zhang Chi said.

Melika was not afraid, she didn't have the uneasiness of an ugly daughter-in-law about to meet her in-laws. She walked to Zhang Chi's side and greeted everyone on the screen.

"Hello!"

Melika waved her hand towards the camera.

The four elders on the opposite side were confused by this greeting. They didn't expect that Melika, the granddaughter-in-law, would come up with a sentence like a leader's inspection, and say hello.

I heard from my daughter that the two of them are going to get married. According to Chinese customs, they have to be called Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle and Auntie.

But they quickly figured it out: they are Americans, maybe the United States doesn't pay attention to these things.

So the four elders quickly became happy again, immersed in the joy of having a granddaughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law.

"That girl, hello."

Grandpa Zhang Jiaren waved at Melika with a smile on behalf of everyone.
