pasture leisure

Chapter 253
Snapped!
Knocking the plastic basin against the head of the horse in Chiyan Mountain, the basin that was originally like a disc immediately gained depth. The folded plastic basin is very suitable for carrying around, and it is more suitable for a small ranch like Zhangchi Ranch. There is no special washing Horse equipment and no paddocks for a few horses.

As soon as he got the basin, Zhang Chi found a hand stretched out.

"let go!"

Hearing Melika's scolding in his ears, Zhang Chi immediately let go of his hand.

I watched helplessly as my daughter-in-law took her own basin, bent down to scoop water and washed it on Arab in front of her.

Zhang Chi turned his head and saw Chi Yanshan staring at him with big eyes, as if there was a little bit of disdain and a little bit of sarcasm in his eyes.

"What are you looking at, I've never seen someone who loves his wife dearly." Zhang Chi pointed at the fattest part of Chi Yanshan's buttocks, raised his leg high, and lightly rubbed against its buttocks.

Chi Yanshan flicked his tail, didn't feel any pain at all, and continued to play with the river water covered in bubbles.

Zhang Chi was standing in the water, looking around with his hips crossed, his own pasture was quiet, and occasionally there would be a couple of birds chirping in his ears. They all got better.

It may be that Zhang Chi's ears are too enjoyable, just when Zhang Chi is thinking about whether he should take a shadow, and read an ancient poem to fill up the appearance, so that the new wife who just married feels that there is still a bit of pain in his stomach. ink.

But racking my brains, I couldn't think of any ancient poems suitable for my ranch. I finally came up with a sentence: Birds fly away in thousands of mountains, and people disappear in thousands of paths.

It doesn't seem to be suitable either. My own beautiful mountains, rivers, and scenery are so far away from what is absolutely and extinct.

Even if you want to exterminate something, can you solve your own neighbors first?

I prefer to go directly to Lei Zhangchi, the voice is so loud that the whole Amber can hear it, and I will kill that dog Liu Liu.

Just when Zhang Chi was scratching his head and trying to write a few words, a big bird flew over Zhang Chi's head.

quack!quack!quack!
This sound was worse than that of the pig when Zhang Chi killed the pig.

When I looked up, I saw that this guy was quite big, almost as big as a wild duck, and with a fat waist and round belly, I knew it was not a good bird.

Does a good bird eat such fat? !
Zhang Chi wanted to pull out his shotgun from the gourd, but now that his wife was present, if he pulled out the gun, he didn't want to tell his daughter-in-law his secret, and he would have to think about killing people and changing him to a new daughter-in-law.

Now this daughter-in-law is pretty good, mainly because she looks pleasing to the eye and gets along with her happily, so Zhang Chi suppressed the thought of drawing a gun, and looked at the fat bird in the sky with hateful teeth itching.

"What are you looking at?"

At this moment, Melika had washed away the bubbles on her mount. Seeing Zhang Chi in a daze, she yelled and threw the basin in front of Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi came back to his senses and saw that the basin wanted to go down the river, so he stepped on it immediately, then bent down and carried it in his hand.

"Scraper!"

Melika said something.

Zhang Chi went to the shore again and passed the water to Melika.

With a basin in his hand, he scooped up a basin of water, first flushed Chiyanshan's back, then his tail, and finally Chiyanshan's head.

Be careful when punching the horse's head, you can't force it straight like charging the back, because Chi Yanshan doesn't know how to close his eyes, and the foam may hurt his eyes, so be careful when punching the head.

Fortunately, Chiyanshan has a good temper. As soon as Zhang Chi grabbed its side rein, it stopped moving, allowing Zhang Chi to wash its brain.

After rinsing, Chiyan Mountain immediately became more beautiful, the red hair became brighter, and the white hair was as white as white feathers.

"Young man, I'm much more energetic now."

Zhang Chi patted Chi Yanshan's side cheek with satisfaction, and praised.

Howling!
Chi Yanshan also seemed to know that the master praised him, raised his head and shook his head, and after a long hiss, he raised his head with grinning teeth, shaking his head and tail, looking very happy.

"Okay, you must be humble when you are a horse. Look at me, I have always kept the word modest in my heart, and it is my principle of life," Zhang Chi said with a smile while patting Chiyan Mountain.

Melika, who was shaving her own horse next to her, couldn't stand it any longer. After a snort, she laughed and said, "You are really good enough, you even lied to your own horse!"

"I don't like to listen to what you said, what should I lie to it?" Zhang Chi continued to stroke the mane on Chi Yanshan's neck.

After stroking it twice, I felt that Chiyanshan's mane was a bit long.

Thinking that the mane hadn't been cut for a while, Zhang Chi thought of the horse's hoof, so he bent down and held Chi Yanshan's fore hoof, and took a look at its fore paw.

"It's time for Chiyan Mountain to have its hooves repaired. In two days, I'll have an appointment with a shoemaker to repair the horseshoes at home," Zhang Chi said, looking at Chiyan Mountain's horseshoes.

The horseshoe is a bit long, and the original shoe in his palm is a bit small. Zhang Chi has not ridden the horse many times, and the wear of all the horseshoes is not great. The horseshoe grew a little too fast when the shoe was originally attached.

Hearing what Zhang Chi said, Melika also bent down to look at the shoe of her horse, and said, "Come on, I just want to repair my horse, although I haven't seen how long it is, but it happens to be in the future. If you trim hoofs, repair them together."

Zhang Chi hummed, indicating that he knew: "Remind me when I get back, or I will forget."

At this moment, Melika has almost wiped off the water on Arab's body. She is leading Arab to go ashore, and when she passes by Zhang Chi, she hands the water to Zhang Chi's hands.

After receiving the squeegee handed by his wife, Zhang Chi began to shave Chiyan Mountain, starting from the neck, and gently scraping out the water hidden in the horse hair along the mess.

Although the weather is not cold now, it is not too hot. If the horse is wet, it is still easy to catch a cold, so you have to scrape the water off the horse. As for wiping with a dry towel, it is not necessary at this time of the year. Let it dry.

On the shore, Melika was also thinking about the issue of horses at the moment, and said to Zhang Chi: "This time, let's build a stable for this time. The space separated from the cowshed is a bit too small, and I want to have a horse. None."

"Okay, let's build one, it doesn't take much anyway." Zhang Chi nodded and agreed.

Building a stable is not like building a house. It requires a lot of water and electricity. Both the stable and the cowshed are simple. In fact, they are just a shelf with wooden boards around them.

If you encounter extreme weather such as tornadoes in the Great Plains, and build stables and cowsheds like this, the insurance company will have to jump, but in the mountains, it is not a big problem, not to say that there are no such extremes The weather is surrounded by trees and mountains, and even a tornado can't cause any big waves here. An ordinary wooden house can be done with at most an iron frame.

As for washing horses, it is even easier. There is a small manger for sale. This thing is like a table. There is a water tank under the table and an iron net on the top. The water for flushing the horses falls into the ditch, and as for the flushing machine, it is even simpler.

Have you all seen the kind of small water truck that rushes the road in China?Such a thing can solve the problem of washing horses. Of course, it is impossible to use such a strong water pressure. Anyway, as long as there is a stable, these small devices are simple.

The bulk of the money is spent on the stables, not on these machines.

"Just so, pigs and sheep can also be raised together in the stables," Zhang Chi said.

Melika didn't object, which was normal for her.

You may think that pigs are dirty, but in fact pigs like to be clean. If you let it take a bath, this thing still likes to take a bath.

Anyway, Zhang Chi's pigs are pretty clean up to now.

Of course, it may also be that Cannon took good care of him. If Zhang Chi was raised for a few days, the pigs in the pasture would probably be able to roll in pig feces.

That's what good cowboys do.

Thinking of one thing, Melika said to Zhang Chi: "Brian, don't go to the ranch over there in the future, just stay here, almost all the work at home is done by Cannon alone, and in winter He might be too busy."

Zhang Chi has no objection to this. In the past, he sent Brian because he was afraid that Melika would cheat him of his money, but now, even if Melica wanted to cheat him, he probably wouldn’t cheat him with a ton of grass. Melika is so kind. Yes, how many bales of grass are hidden in the marital property?Those cleaning women in China probably look down upon her, let alone Melika.

"Okay! Anyway, there will be a dormitory soon, so Brian can stay here." Zhang Chi nodded in agreement.

After scraping the water, Zhang Chi led Chiyan Mountain ashore. This guy might have had fun, but he was a little reluctant. He pulled the reins twice. Seeing that Zhang Chi had no intention of letting go, he followed his master honestly. the shore.

After landing, Chi Yanshan's attention was fascinated by the delicious food, and he lowered his head and gnawed on the grass.

Melika looked at the saddle on the ground and said, "What about these?"

A horse that has just been washed, and then put on the saddle or something, isn't that washing for nothing?
"I'll drive three rounds later and pull them back. Now we can just lead the horses back," Zhang Chi said.

The place where the horses are washed is not too far from the house and the stables. It takes about five or six minutes to walk, and the two of them should be walking.

Hearing this, Melika nodded and sat on the grass, drying her little feet.

Zhang Chi also sat down next to Melika, but he quickly changed from sitting to lying down. He picked a grass stalk in his mouth, raised his legs, put his hands behind his head, and looked at the sky .

Melika saw Zhang Chi's little toes moving, looking very relaxed, so she also followed Zhang Chi's example and lay down on the grass, looking up at the sky.

The sky is so blue, I can't tell what it feels like, I just feel that the sky is so high, it looks so far away.

"The sky here is so beautiful," Melika said.

Zhang Chi hummed.

He also thinks the sky is beautiful, but even if there is such a sky elsewhere, how many people have the time to appreciate such a sky.

It seems that he must have been free before. He was not on the way to deliver food at the end of the day. Even if he looked up to appreciate the wonderful sky, he was not in the mood to appreciate it. Even if he looked up, he might not be there. Such a relaxed state of mind now.
