Zhang Hao stretched lazily, looking at Christina who was still rolling on the bed and couldn't get up, Zhang Hao said jokingly, "Do you know? What you are doing now is what Xixi often does. Every time I call She's always like this when she wakes up, she rolls around, acts like a spoiled child, acts like a rogue, but doesn't want to get up."

Christina sat up all of a sudden, and said angrily with wide-eyed eyes, "It's too late for you to regret it, you already know too many secrets. So, you can only accept it. You will find more and more bad habits of mine, I'm lazy, I like to swear, I can fight... let me see, I'm going to give you a lot of headaches, but you don't have any other choice!"

Zhang Hao laughed loudly, and he said proudly, "Is it just me who knows the secret? Don't worry, I will keep it secret for you."

The two were still laughing and fighting, when the door was pushed open; Xixi, who was wearing small slippers, lay down on the edge of the bed, and tried to lift her short legs to climb onto the bed.It's a pity that the little girl's short legs are indeed a little short, and she can't climb up for the time being.

Zhang Hao smiled and helped Xixi, and pushed the little girl onto the bed.

Xixi immediately crawled happily into Christina's arms, and acted like a baby in a childish voice, "Mommy."

Christina put the little girl into her arms, kissed the little girl's face and said happily, "Good morning, my sweetheart."

Looking at the mother and daughter playing affectionately, Zhang Hao's heart is naturally full of warmth and happiness, but he is also pouring cold water, "You should help her get dressed, this little guy came here in the morning, she still can't Dress yourself."

Christina watched Xixi start performing somersaults again, and while pushing the little girl, she said to Zhang Hao, "So you need to build our new house earlier, I am looking forward to our new house. This is super Villa, if our new house is built, you don't need to worry about our children catching a cold."

Zhang Hao shrugged, and wandered to Xixi's room; although Xixi was very cute in her little pajamas, she had a round belly and chubby arms and legs, no matter how cute she looked.It's just that it can't be frozen, and the little girl's clothes still need to be put on.

But Zhang Hao has to admit that what Christina said is right, if the new house is built, then there is no need to worry.

That will be a super luxury house. Although it is not as good as some super rich houses with tens of millions or millions of dollars, there is absolutely no need to envy them.Because Zhang Hao's house does not need land and has not gone through a developer, it can be said to be a "self-built house" to a certain extent, although such a "self-built house" is very expensive and looks very luxurious.

But for Zhang Hao, this is really nothing, because he has such financial resources; it is nothing to use about a year's income to build a house, and there is not much burden at all.

Maybe Zhang Hao can also spend 10,000+, 30 to [-] to build a single-family villa that is more common in the United States.But that is not Zhang Hao's goal, he can build a super mansion; of course it doesn't matter if he is not as good as those super rich, as long as his little life is enjoyable.

The most important thing is that this house will meet the needs of my family, which is enough!
After getting Xixi dressed and washing up, she started to prepare for breakfast; Christina was very comfortable because she came to the ranch often.

Humming a song, he brought a piece of beef shank to Luo Bo, and took his followers, the white lion and the white tiger, to the kitchen to pour broth and rice for them.

The little girl Xixi was not quiet anymore, she stood under the bird stand and started teasing Huahua again, "Huahua, call me."

Huahua pecked at a fig, looked down at Xixi and finally opened her golden mouth, "Baby."

Xixi danced happily, running around shaking her little hands; Huahua would call her, of course the little girl was happy.The happiest thing is that Huahua is only proficient in addressing Xixi alone, and she only learned it in the past two days. Of course Xixi is happy.

The noisy breakfast time was over, and when he saw that his father was going to herd the cows, Zhang Hao hurriedly said, "Wait for me, I'll go to the cow pen too."

Zhang Jianye still didn't stop, and said as he walked, "Then I'll get the horse out first, come here quickly."

Christina was a little confused. Although she was learning Chinese after she fell in love with Zhang Hao, her level was just simple conversations, and even a little bit of greeting, so naturally she couldn't understand.

Seeing Christina's dazed look, Zhang Hao explained, "I'm going to the cattle pen. Those guys need to pay attention when they spend the winter. There will be new pasture coming to the pasture in these two days, and I'm going to prepare some feed."

Christina nodded to express her understanding. Now she also knows a lot about the ranch and the operating conditions of some ranches.

She knows that the pasture output of the pasture is limited, so a lot of pasture is bought now; the price is not low, because Zhang Hao buys some relatively high-end pasture.

After saying hello and changing a pair of shoes, Zhang Hao went out.

Zhang Jianye was ready a long time ago. He threw the reins of the horse to Zhang Hao and got on the horse. Now he looks like an old cowboy.Although it's just 'fake appearance', the basic skill of riding a horse is already good.

Riding a horse, the father and son were also chatting.

"I don't think there are many herbs in the warehouse. Next spring, you will teach me how to recognize some herbs. Then I will get some back when I have nothing to do. Our family will definitely have more cattle next year, so prepare more herbs."

Zhang Hao nodded, he knew what his father said was reasonable, "Well, Greg helped me prepare some herbs in the past, and I collected some myself. Basically, there are pastures or mountains, and I will teach you when the time comes Recognize it."

Chatting about herbs, grass, and the cows and horses on the ranch, the father and son seemed very enterprising.

Zhang Hao also thinks that he is quite enterprising. Although he doesn't herd or feed the cattle very much, he comes to see these cattle every now and then.Zhang Hao is very concerned about these precious cows. How far his pasture can develop in the future can be counted on these guys to continue to cultivate and improve.

Seeing Zhang Hao, Greg immediately ran over and said proudly, "Boss, you don't need to worry about these guys. I took good care of them. I know the temperature dropped last night and there was a cold wave, but these guys Not affected, the barn that Stan and I built for them was strong and windproof."

Zhang Hao jumped off his horse and said to Greg, "Your Christmas gifts are guaranteed. I will give you a pair of saddles, all handmade. And of course Stan, he is a good guy."

Stan, who was silent and only knew how to work, smiled, but Greg was not as bored as his son, and Greg complained a little, "Boss, you shouldn't tell me what the Christmas present is, or you will lose the sense of surprise." .”

Zhang Haocai didn't care about that, he went to the cattle pen to look at the cattle before he felt relieved.

Generally speaking, Oregon has a mild climate and distinct seasons; it is relatively mild and humid along the coast and dry inland.Klamath Falls is relatively south of Oregon. Although it is not close to the sea, it is not as cold and dry as the middle east.

It's not bad, the cattle are indeed not affected by the cold wave, that's good.

"Stan, you took them out for half a day today. You know what I mean, keep a proper amount of exercise and take advantage of the nice weather today."

Stan nods his head to show he understands that he's not complaining about the gloomy weather; this is indeed a hardworking cowboy who just works hard.

After feeding the cows, Greg walked over slowly, watching Zhang Hao hesitate to speak.

Zhang Hao naturally saw the look of this old man, but Zhang Hao didn't say anything; he was a bit wicked, he pretended he didn't see anything, he wanted to see how long Greg could hold back.

Greg was indeed defeated. Although he was embarrassed, he could only say, "Boss, I want to discuss something with you."

Then Zhang Hao smiled, looked at Greg and said enthusiastically, "Say it, you know I'm a very talkative boss."

Greg rubbed his hands together before saying, "Well, you know Stan doesn't make a lot of money, but he still needs to take care of his family. He doesn't have a house yet, and his wife and kids live in a very small An apartment. So with your permission, I'd like Stan's family to move to the ranch."

Zhang Hao thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, but I can't build a house for you, they can only live in the staff room."

Greg was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly; Stan, who was working on the sidelines, also ran over, thanking him repeatedly with some embarrassment.

To Zhang Hao, this seemed like a trivial matter, but to the Stan family, it was not a trivial matter.In fact, this is not a small matter in itself. Zhang Hao can provide Stan with board and lodging, because it is his employee; but if Stan's family also moved to the ranch, this is obviously not an obligation that a ranch owner should undertake.

So don't say that Zhang Hao is stingy and stingy.It is impossible for him to build a relatively large and comfortable house for Stan, nor is it possible for Stan to build a house on the ranch with a piece of land, that is unrealistic.

Maybe one day Zhang Hao will give Stan more salary and bonus, but it will take time; we need to see if Stan can bring more help to the ranch, and see if Stan is an employee worthy of Zhang Hao's generosity.

Obviously, Zhang Hao is a capitalist, and all he can do is exploit as little as possible.

After walking around the cattle pen, Zhang Hao's cell phone rang; Eddie said excitedly that he was going back to the pasture, and he brought the flying Jenny who was successfully conceived.

Zhang Hao was very happy, but he also felt that he needed to give Eddie some bonuses; because this guy had just returned from Kentucky and was about to transport an Arabian horse to Los Angeles.

The employees under him may be a bit hard, but this is what they should do, and they can't get paid for nothing!

By the way, this is Zhang Hao. Although he is just a small rancher, he is a boss who can exploit his employees and is not stingy.
