The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 114 113. Family is the most important

I once again accompanied my dad to the hospital for dialysis.

Lin Feng felt a little nervous, but his father comforted him: "Son, don't worry, my old bones are still strong."

After the examination, Dr. Sun came over with an elusive expression on his face: "Your dad...the results this time are a bit beyond my expectation."

Lin Feng's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he hurriedly asked: "Doctor Sun, is this good news?"

Dr. Sun shook his head: "It can be said to be good news, but it is also very strange. Your father's kidney function seems to have recovered, although it is only a small part, but this is very rare among uremic patients."

Dad looked surprised after hearing this: "Is it getting better? Does that mean I can save money for a kidney transplant?"

Dr. Sun said cautiously: "I can't say that, the signs of improvement are weak but it is a good start. We need to continue to observe and see whether this recovery trend will continue."

As the end-stage of acute and chronic renal failure, uremia’s renal damage is usually considered irreversible and the possibility of recovery is almost zero.

Patients' renal function often continues to deteriorate and rarely rebounds.

However, Dr. Sun observed this rare reversal trend during Lao Lin's examination, which puzzled him.

When Lin Feng heard the news, his heart was instantly lit up.

He knew that the well water in the small world had played a role.

Although it is only a small step so far, this step has ignited a ray of hope for Dad's recovery.

Seeing his parents recovering gradually, Lin Feng felt even happier than winning a billion-dollar lottery.

He knows very well that this health and happiness cannot be measured by money.

After returning from the hospital, they chose to go to a unique Irish-style restaurant in Riverdale Town to celebrate a little.

Among the ancestry of Montana residents, 14.8% are Irish, followed closely by Germans.

Jasmine's family history is like a colorful picture. Her great-grandfather is Irish and her great-grandmother is a second-generation German immigrant.

Her mother, Susan, is half-Brazilian.

This blend of diverse ancestry makes Jasmine's appearance particularly outstanding, especially her eyes, which reveal the unique charm of Latin Americans.

The Irish stew is not bad. It consists of lamb neck, potatoes, onions, carrots and condiments. It tastes a bit like beef stew with potatoes, except that they use lamb neck.

Then there are the various dishes smeared with butter, which are quite greasy. Especially the mashed potatoes, which are basically half potatoes and half cream.

Irish whiskey is relatively famous, so Lin Feng ordered a glass. The taste was very astringent, with a strong spicy taste. He really didn't like this kind of wine, but if he didn't drink it, he felt that something was missing.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and my mother has already begun to prepare new year's goods.

The family went to the supermarket in the town and made careful selections, spending a small amount of three thousand. Because it was not easy to come to the town, she simply grabbed all the things she needed in case of emergencies.

In pastoral areas, every household has a storage room to store daily necessities and food. Therefore, supermarkets in the town mostly adopt a membership-based mass-selling business model to meet residents’ large-volume purchasing needs. When people go in and out of supermarkets, they often carry items on their hands and shoulders, carrying boxes and bags of items to the car.

Not long after I got home, the carpenter in the town called me to tell me that the wooden house was completed and could be inspected at any time.

After hearing the news, Lin Feng immediately drove back to the town. Although it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, he estimated that he would be back for dinner before dark.

Dogo David has gradually integrated into the ranch’s dog family.

After that night's heroic performance, there seemed to be a tacit understanding of heroism between it and Wayne.

No matter which animal world or industry you are in, as long as you show enough strength, you will definitely win respect and friendship.

Seeing how well the dogs got along, Lin Feng began to consider changing them to a more spacious kennel.

In the past, three dogs, Wayne, William and Harry, could barely fit in one kennel, but now that there is David, four dogs will definitely become overcrowded.

Fortunately, this problem is not difficult for Lin Feng to solve, because the previous kennel was made by him.

He was still thinking about the magnificent big bread tree. If it could be transplanted to the pasture, the trunk could be hollowed out to build a multi-story villa for the dogs. Such a residence would undoubtedly be a kind of luxury.

Back in town, Lin Feng saw the same wooden house he customized for his father on the island in the middle of the lake. It was exactly the same. He nodded with satisfaction and asked the carpenter to help lift the wooden house onto the car.

When he was about to leave, he saw another familiar figure, the blacksmith Wolf Howl who had changed Joey's saddle before.

Compared to his serious look last time, he looked relaxed and relaxed today, smiling and waving hello, obviously still remembering Lin Feng.

When I passed the Corral Bar, I didn't know whether it was the alcoholic husband or the charming proprietress who was in the store today.

A few old cowboys hang out in the bar all year round like fixed NPCs, and they are probably drunk at this time.

Further back is the open-air stadium. After the Karen Bull Riding Competition, the place returned to its usual calm and even seemed a little deserted.

There are no sports teams in Riverdale, not even amateur ones, let alone professional ones. The stadium is mostly used for rodeo events, so locals call it the "Stampede Arena."

Lin Feng planned to find a remote place to assemble a wooden house, and he brought enough tools, nails and other necessary items.

Apart from making kennels, he had never done this kind of work before, so he expected to be busy for a while.

So, we drove the car to the desert open space on the west side of Hehe Town. The view here is wide and unobstructed. No matter which direction the car comes from, you can see it immediately.

He took out the photos on his phone and started assembling the wooden house. In order to make the wooden house completely coincide with the one on the island in the middle of the lake, Lin Feng measured the dimensions in detail.

This was indeed a big project, so big that he didn't know where to start.

The door of the small world was opened next to the pickup truck. The little pig that was picked up from Cassidy's house yesterday ran out curiously and started running around!

Lin Feng whistled, and the little guy immediately ran back in a hurry.

He found that animals with higher IQs can understand instructions earlier, and the small world has become an IQ tester for animals. Those small insects may not obey the orders even if they stay in it for a year.

The wooden house is a semi-finished product, just like the furniture I bought online before. When it was delivered, it was all pieces of wooden boards that needed to be assembled by yourself.

Fortunately, there is an electric drill in the ranch, otherwise my hands would cramp even just driving screws.

After more than two hours of work, the wooden house finally took shape.

Put it into the small world and see that it looks like that. It is very similar to the one on the island in the middle of the lake, but it still lacks furniture.

From now on, this will be Dad’s sanatorium.

Lin Feng planned to spare an hour or two every day to accompany him to play chess and read books. He estimated that his body would recover faster this way, and he might actually be able to create a medical miracle.

Suddenly, Lin Feng felt something was missing. He turned around and found that the little pig was missing.

At this time, there was a rapid sound of pig noises not far away, and the little guy was chased all over the ground by something.

When Lin Feng got closer, he saw that it was a large lizard!

The lizard has a thick body, a short tail, a dark brown body color with light red spots, and looks very fierce.

This was Lin Feng’s first time seeing a tuatara up close.

While driving before, he had seen two lying on a big rock basking in the sun from a distance, but it was still a bit scary to see them from such a close distance. The thing seemed to be able to swallow the little native pig whole when it opened its mouth.

In pastoral areas, lizards seem to be quite popular, referring to their use as food.

During the Karen Bull Riding Competition, grilled lizard meat was sold outside, and lizard meat was also on the restaurant's menu.

But for Lin Feng, this kind of thing is really hard to swallow.

In order to protect his little native pig, Lin Feng quickly took out his pistol and shot three times at the lizard.

He didn't want to kill it, he just wanted to scare it away.

This lizard was really lucky today and met Lin Feng who didn't want to kill.
