pasture leisure

Hearing that Zhang Chi won Lao Liu's ranch, everyone congratulated him.

Many people know that Zhang Chi participated in the auction and bought tens of thousands of acres of pastures at a reasonable price that was almost close to the market price.

But not many ordinary people know what Zhang Chi's ranch looks like. The cattle and sheep have been sold, and the agricultural machinery has disappeared. As for where all the money went?

I don't know, at this time the so-called most powerful IRS is also blind. As for the police or something, maybe the biggest one has joined the party.

But all this has passed for Zhang Chi, and Zhang Chi is not in the mood to take care of these messes now. His first task is to sort out the pasture as soon as possible.

Fortunately, all the buildings on the ranch are there, except for the old house that burned down.

Zhang Chi and Melika are taking Cannon and Brian to look at the ranch together.

Now the ranch doesn’t even have a cowboy. Since the cows are gone, the cowboys will naturally be gone. Those people can’t have the cows and let the cowboys stay here. What does it matter.

"Old Chapter!"

At the gate of the ranch, Zhang Chi found that Lao Liu had come today.

This really caught him off guard.

I originally thought that when I saw Lao Liu, I would feel happy in my heart, so I yelled: You, Lao Liu, have today too!What an eye opener.

But seeing Lao Liu's appearance at the moment, Zhang Chi felt that he was not as happy as he thought.

At this moment, Lao Liu's hair is already gray, and it is still more white, less gray, and his face does not have the original glossy luster, and there are old wrinkles on his face, which looks better than the last time Zhang Chi saw him. At the time, at least 30 years old.

There is no longer the aura of looking at people like before. At this moment, Lao Liu has no light in his eyes, like a half-dead person.

"Old Liu!"

Zhang Chi got out of the car.

Old Liu smiled at Zhang Chi, then took out a key from his pocket, pinched it between two fingers, and sent it to Zhang Chi.

"This is the key to the gate of the ranch, and it belongs to you from today onwards."

Old Liu was taken aback by Zhang Chi.

Because Zhang Chi has entered the ranch several times, and Lao Liu's previous keys were finally changed by the bank.

In other words, the key he sent over at this moment has no meaning.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Chi finally reached out and took the key.

"Come on, let's go in and have a look," Lao Liu said.

After speaking, Lao Liu walked into the gate of the ranch.

Before Zhang Chi could keep up, Lao Liu turned his head and smiled at Melika: "Big sister, can you let me talk to Lao Zhang?"

After hearing this, Melika stretched out her hand and made a gesture of please, which meant that you two should speak slowly.

After hearing this, Zhang Chi followed, and walked forward side by side with Lao Liu. As for the three of Melika, they followed the two of them for about twenty meters in the next year.

Not a word!

Entering from the gate, they kept walking like this. Zhang Chi didn't know what to say, and Lao Liu seemed to be thinking about something, so the two of them just walked from the gate to the ruins of the original big house.

Standing beside him, Lao Liu looked at the black wasteland, which was the trace left by the fire.

Standing here, Zhang Chi also looked at this place, and couldn't help but think of the appearance of this place when he saw it before. The pure western-style building with several floors of palace style is called a luxury, and even a country bumpkin like Zhang Chi doesn't know it. What words to use to praise it.

But it's a pity that a fire, just a fire, destroyed this thing, leaving only this ruins. In a few months, when spring comes to the earth again, Zhang Chi When I took over to tidy up, there might not even be a little bit of black soil left.

Only the elderly will remember that there is a gorgeous palace here. In a few decades, when the old people are all dead, the children of later generations will only be able to appreciate the beauty of the palace from the photos.

After staring blankly for a long time, Lao Liu said quietly: "The world is a dream, but it's a pity that I understood it before, but I didn't understand it. I was always blinded by vanity, and I never knew this world!"

Zhang Chi was a little confused by Lao Liu, thinking: Brother, when is this f*cking time, why are you dragging the text for me?Looks like you're cultured, doesn't it?
Lao Liu really wasn't in the mood, he just lamented, not because of Zhang Chi, but at this moment, he can be said to be separated from his wife and children, and all the original calculations have come to nothing.

Originally, a person like Lao Liu had a way out, but Lao Liu was wrong, and his way out was a dead end for himself.

Originally, he thought that his dependence had suddenly become ridiculous. His wife left with the child. He felt that he had no money as expected. Although his wife was not young, she was still beautiful. How could an enthusiastic man few.

But what he never expected was that the person closest to him, the woman who took his own life, would actually value money more than himself... Sigh, Lao Liu doesn't want to think about it anymore.

Lao Liu knew that the ranch was no longer his. He came here this time just to chat with Zhang Chi, and he didn't know what was going on. He really wanted to find the so-called old friend before, but they didn't care about him anymore.

Once we met, it was Brother Liu, and Brother Liu called out kindly. Now I call, and the person who answers the phone is their secretary, either this one is in a meeting or that one has something to do.

Lao Liu didn't know how to do it, and felt that Zhang Chi would definitely have a chat with him.

Lao Liu doesn't hate Zhang Chi, he really doesn't hate him, because he knows that even if there is no Zhang Chi, there will be Li Chi, Wang Chi, because what people think about him is whether he doesn't deal with Zhang Chi, but what he used to be proud of money.

Conceive the crime!
This is the biggest reason why I have fallen into the current situation.

Some people can’t see themselves clearly when they are rich, and they can’t see many things clearly. Once they are poor and can’t eat a few meals, they suddenly become transparent, and let go of all hatred and hatred.

"How much did you pay for it?" Lao Liu asked.

Zhang Chi quoted the price.

"Hey, you really didn't take advantage of it," Lao Liu said with a smile.

"I'm not qualified to take such an advantage." Zhang Chi shook his head.

Old Liu said: "That's right, people like us are always outsiders in the eyes of others. If we add an attributive word, it is an outsider who can take life and death.

We people, ah, will never become Americans! "

"You thought about it, but I didn't," Zhang Chi said.

Lao Liu smiled and didn't refute Zhang Chi's words. After a while, he talked to himself about his childhood.

Talk about how he didn't eat or drink when he was a child, how he floated to the port city with a gasoline barrel, and how he made money step by step.

Zhang Chi listened a little fascinated, because Lao Liu's story is very attractive, Zhang Chi asked himself, if he was in Lao Liu's world, he must not be as capable as Lao Liu, and he could make his own way.

"I've lived for so long in my life, and it's only now that I realize that I'm still the boy who swam towards that little light in the cold sea water with a gasoline tank in his arms..."

Got it!
Zhang Chi said in his heart: This guy has started art again.

Lao Liu sighed for a while, and said to Zhang Chi: "Lao Zhang, let me persuade you."

"You said" Zhang Chi hummed.

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket, and don't believe what these people say. Everything they say is fake. We are always outsiders here..." Lao Liu said.

"I didn't take them as my own."

Zhang Chi knew who Lao Liu was referring to, and Zhang Chi was telling the truth. He never considered himself an American, not even an Asian.

"Go back to China and invest some money, here... Forget it, I will teach you what to do," Lao Liu said with a smile.

"I'm planning to wait until the income of the ranch is stable, and I'm thinking of going to the country to rent a piece of land to start a ranch...".

Zhang Chi and Lao Liu talked about their plans.

"Investment is good, but the most important thing is to be down-to-earth," Lao Liu said.

Zhang Chi was a little speechless: Lao Liu, do you think it's appropriate for you to tell yourself this?

It gave Zhang Chi the feeling that he is a good guy, and his words are kind.

"You know me, I don't want to treat Cannon and others harshly, let alone my compatriots, and I don't lack any money. It's good to make money, but it's also a blessing not to lose money," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

After hearing this, Lao Liu didn't say anything, and continued to stand and look at the black ground in front of him.

"I'm leaving!"

After saying that, Lao Liu turned his head and left, and walked about ten meters in an instant, which made Zhang Chi a little stunned.

Melika waited for the three to come up.

"What did you say?"

Zhang Chi said with a smile: "It's strange, let me go back to China to invest, and let me not make money for the sake of making money."

Melika thought about it for a moment, then smiled.

Everyone no longer mentioned Lao Liu, but began to look at the ranch.

The fences on both sides have to be demolished, a batch of cattle and sheep have to be moved in, and new cowboys have to be recruited.

After working for half a month, Amber's long winter came.

The cat lived all winter, and when the air diffused enough to melt the snow, the old turtle woke up from sleepiness.

Its waking up marks the official arrival of spring.

Zhang Chi was riding Chiyan Mountain, with the second girl Lizhi sitting in front of her, Melika riding her own horse with her youngest son, next to her was the eldest girl Huizhi, who was about one year old, the daughter of a silly big wood, tightly Follow the parents.

The snow melts and the grass grows.

Several streams flowed from the ranch.

When the horses are urged to pass by, the sound of rushing water can always be heard.

The family, sweating a little from running, stopped by the stream, first took the child off the horse, and then let the horse go to the stream to drink water.

"Spring is here," Zhang Chi said with a smile, looking at his home's boundless pasture glowing with spring.

Melika said: "Yes, the grass has grown, and this year's herd will expand again."

"More than 1000 cows will be produced this year," Zhang Chi said again.

At this moment, Hui Zhi suddenly shouted at Zhang Chi Melika: "Dad, Mom, look, it's a mountain lion!"

Zhang Chi looked at his daughter's hand.

Sure enough, he saw a mountain lion, one of which was blind, standing on a branch of a tree, looking towards him.

You are still alive!

Zhang Chi naturally remembered this mountain lion. It was the one that caused him the first trouble when he came here to buy the first pasture.

"This guy is really tough!"

Zhang Chi said.

Melika also said: "It's quite rare!"

Hey!
The mountain lion roared softly, turned its head and jumped, and disappeared into the woods.
