Chapter 388

"Yes, yes, let's talk when we go back," Zhang Jiaren said with a smile to Zhang Youliang and his wife after hearing what his grandson Zhang Chi said.

"Uh-huh!"

Zhang Youliang kept nodding.

After saying this, Zhang Chi looked at the car on the side of the road, and couldn't help being a little confused, because there is only one pickup truck on the side of the road now. Although five people can be seated in the car, six can be accommodated with a little squeeze, but even if seven people are seated, What about the rest?By car?
So Zhang Chi looked at Melika and thought to himself: This little girl has always been upright in her work, why did she only drive a car when she came to pick up people today?

Melika couldn't guess what Zhang Chi was thinking, but she didn't know that Zhang Chi called her a little girl, so she explained to Zhang Chi, Zhang Jiaren and others.

"Grandpa, grandma... Originally, my uncle was going to drive over, but he was too excited, so I didn't dare to let him drive, so everyone squeezed in first, the elders sit in front, and we can sit in the back."

Zhang Jiaren's heart was full of joy when he called his grandfather, he didn't care where to sit, even if he was tied up and dragged behind the car now, the old man would probably be smiling.

"What's the matter, it's just such a short distance, why can't we just make up for it, I'll sit in the back," Zhang Jiaren said.

How could everyone let him sit in the back, so Zhang Jiaren and Miao Guifang sat in the front, Zhang Youliang and his wife also sat in the front, and the rest went to the back compartment to deal with it, and there was only a few steps to go anyway.

Zhang Youpeng and Li Xiumei sat on the innermost side, hugging their grandson, with suitcases next to them. Zhang Juan and Zhang Chi sat on the outermost side. The trunk lid was opened, and their legs were stretched out.

The speed of the pickup is not fast, so although the people sitting in the back feel a little bumpy, it is not unbearable.

"This road is not very good, full of potholes," Zhang Youpeng said to his son after waiting for the car to get up.

Zhang Chi explained with a smile: "There is no urgent repair yet. One is that there is no time to take care of it, and the other is that there is no money in the pocket. It is about a mile and a half from the door. It takes a lot to repair it properly. Money".

"A mile and a half?" Zhang Youpeng was a little surprised.

Zhang Chi said: "It's very close. Some people's roads are farther away. The main reason is that the pastures of the people next to them are bigger, ten times larger than ours."

Zhang Juan asked at this time: "Is that the big boss you mentioned?"

Zhang Chi nodded: "Yes, that's the guy."

"Then the trees on these two sides belong to other people's homes?" Li Xiumei looked at the trees on both sides of the road, each one was as tall as a canopy, and she couldn't help thinking about how much these trees could sell for.

For the elderly, most of the quantification methods for what you see are money, and the most intuitive way is to exchange for RMB.

Zhang Chi said: "No, these trees belong to our family."

"Then these trees are also worth a lot of money?" Li Xiumei asked.

Zhang Chi said: "To cut down these trees, you need to apply for a permit...".

"We also need to apply for a certificate here?" Li Xiumei and others were surprised when they heard this.

She thought that the Americans would have to cut down trees for self-help no matter what. Who would have thought that the Americans would not be able to cut down trees for free, and they would have to apply for a certificate, just like ours.

Zhang Chi said: "Yeah, but it's just for approval. You can approve it when you tell the reason. If you want to do it or not, it's just an extra hand."

Although there are many forests here, if you want to cut down trees for no reason, you have to declare it. Of course, it’s okay if you don’t declare it. I filed a complaint, and I found you and confirmed it. Sorry, you will be very comfortable. It would be strange if the wallet is not thinner.

Fortunately, Zhang Chi has no interest in felling trees. Even if he cuts down trees to make fire, he only cuts down the trees on the mountain of the state government. It takes effort for his own trees to grow so big?
Since there is another mountain, why bother to cut down the tree at home!
This is one of the principles of Zhang Chi's life.

You can’t say this to your family members. First, it will affect Zhang Chi’s image. Second, if you go home and publicize it, they may think that you are in the United States relying on criminals to get money.

"How big is your ranch?" Zhang Juan asked.

"It used to be more than [-] mu. Some time ago, I bought a piece of more than [-] mu for a total of [-] mu. There are more than [-] cattle here, and more than [-] cattle in Xindi over there...".

Zhang Chi told his sister about the situation of the ranch.

While talking, the car arrived at the gate of the ranch.

Zhang Chi jumped out of the car to open the door, while Zhang Juan and the others looked at the gate of the ranch, waited for Zhang Chi to close the gate and jumped back into the car, and asked questions in confusion.

"This gate is too shabby, the gate is the facade, it should be properly tidied...".

Li Xiumei felt that the front door of her house was a bit outrageous. How can I say that there are thousands of acres of land on my son's side now? Before liberation, it must be a big landlord or something. The facade is not good, so it's not good-looking. , not to mention this is abroad, don't let foreigners look down on us.

Zhang Chi laughed when he heard that, and said, "Mom, who has nothing to do to see the gate of your house, did you see the gate just now?"

"The gate is okay, but it doesn't have much momentum," Li Xiumei said.

Zhang Chi was even happier when he heard this: "There are tens of thousands of acres of land over there, and all the people who come in and out are their own private jets. If the gate is like that, it will be a joke if we do better here."

"Oh, it turns out that the atmosphere here is so shabby and no one laughs at it...".

Zhang Chi heard that his old lady was thinking wrong again, so he said: "If you are fake and shabby, no one will laugh at you, but if you are really shabby, then it is not as simple as making a joke of you."

Thinking back to when I first came here, many cowboys would joke with me when they met me. This joke obviously had a hint of ridicule in it. Maybe the people who made the jokes didn’t really have any opinions, but the people who listened would definitely not be so comfortable.

It was only when they sold the cows and made money that most of the cowboys changed their attitudes, bought two batches of cows, and took over Nell's ranch. Cowboys are almost gone.

This is strength determines the attitude of others.

"That's your old house, isn't it?"

Zhang Juan stretched out her finger at this moment.

Zhang Chi followed his sister's gaze, took a look and smiled and said, "That's not my house, it's a cowshed. What kind of eyes are you looking at?"

"Cowshed?"

"Look at how big it is, how many houses are there for people to live in," Zhang Chi laughed.

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his finger: "That's my old house over there, and the one directly opposite is my current house...".

Everyone has actually seen it, but there are a lot of buildings in Zhangchi Ranch now. If you have money in your pocket, all the forage cabins and tool rooms are ready. Except for these stables, these buildings and houses are not much different. .So everyone saw it, but they didn't dare to recognize it. Even if they had seen the house on video, they still didn't dare to recognize it in reality.

"This house is really big." Li Xiumei looked at her son's big house with relief in her eyes.

"It's not too big, at least not as big as Brother Dawen's house," Zhang Chi said.

Zhang Juan laughed and said: "Compared with him, the master who collects money with the paper is no more profitable than you, a cattle raiser."

Zhang Juan has now figured out how her cousin Zhang Wen makes money. It would be a lie to say that she doesn’t envy her. Who doesn’t want to live comfortably in a big mansion with hundreds of square meters? , but you have to have that life!
Zhang Wen has this fate, but Zhang Juan doesn't think she has this fate.

Although my younger brother’s house is big, compared to Zhang Wen’s house, it’s like a hair wearing tofu—I can’t even mention it!
Although I haven't entered the house yet, I have seen it in Zhang Juan's video. Even if it is the most beautiful, it is not as luxurious as Zhang Wen's home. A feeling of emptiness in my heart.

What is being rich and powerful?As a teacher, Zhang Juan understood for the first time that the ancestor invented this idiom, which directly broke the hearts of the people.

"These cows...".

"Mom, everything you see now, do you see the white fence on the east side, and the iron net on the west side?" Zhang Chi stretched out his finger.

Li Xiumei saw the white fence, but after looking at the iron net for a while, she realized that it was too far away, and it was thin, not as thick as a solid wood fence, and one was white and the other was gray, making it hard to recognize. .

Mainly because of the distance, more than [-] mu is not [-] square meters, so it is so easy to see the head.

"Well, I see it".

"Within these two sides, even a fly flying on the grass belongs to our family," Zhang Chi joked.

Li Xiumei was amused when she heard it: "You brat, why do we need flies in our house? Hehehe".

"Didn't you say hundreds of acres, why is it so big?" Zhang Youpeng thought about hundreds of acres, but at the scene, he felt that it was hundreds of acres, and he was afraid that if he didn't ride an electric bike, he would be useless.

Moreover, the shadow is too beautiful. After entering the door and passing a few small forests, the rest of the place is a sweeping grassland.

Zhang Youpeng didn't know how to describe this beautiful place. He didn't speak for a long time. He just looked at the land. As a farmer, his feelings for the land cannot be expressed in words. Such a large piece of land belongs to his family. It can be passed on to his descendants, Zhang Youpeng's heart is surging at the moment.

Zhang Juan hurriedly said: "What people say is an acre, if you change it to six, it would be more than [-] mu if you change it to our Chinese land. The first time I heard that Sun Yan calculated it, it was almost [-] football fields. ...".

"More than [-] mu of land..." Zhang Youpeng was a little confused. He was thinking in his heart: how many cows will be raised here, and how much can these cows be sold for?

Obediently!With this calculation in his mind, he immediately couldn't figure it out.

When they came to the ranch for the first time, they realized that their own ranch was so big. Originally, they heard hundreds of acres every time, but there were thousands of acres near other houses, and the smallest surrounding was their own ranch. The place is really small.

But looking at the scene, it's not like that at all. If you look around this place, everything in your eyes is a bit empty.
