Rural life in America

Chapter 13 Need to develop!

Bugs chirping, birds chirping and flowers scenting, Zhang Hao woke up; Xixi hadn't woken up yet, the little girl was sleeping soundly on the bed, Zhang Hao would not continue to let his daughter be a lazy pig, it was getting late.

"Xixi, get up."

The little girl didn't even open her eyes, she pushed her father's hand away with her chubby hands; she frowned and turned her head to the other side, and continued to sleep.

Looking at Xixi's cute little appearance, Zhang Hao laughed; if he used to get up early to go to work, it would be impossible to see Xixi's cute appearance every day.

Continue to reach out and pinch Xixi's cute little face until the little girl explodes.

"I want to sleep!"

Zhang Hao became flustered all of a sudden, because Xixi was crying; he was a little angry when he got up, and he hadn't woken up yet.

Seeing the baby girl crying, Zhang Hao immediately coaxed: "Xixi, don't cry, Dad will take you to see the squirrel later. Get up quickly, the little squirrel and the little rabbit are both up."

Although Xixi was still aggrieved, she didn't make much trouble; the little girl was listlessly held in her father's arms, her little head resting on her father's shoulder, dozing off and muttering that she wanted to go out to play.

As soon as I arrived in the living room, I saw that my parents were already busy; there was some food on the dining table, and my mother was still busy in the kitchen.

Zhang Jianye laughed and said, "Why did I hear her crying so early in the morning, why are you provoking Xixi?"

Zhang Hao said with a smile, "My little lazy pig doesn't want to get up, she's a little angry. I'll take her to brush her teeth and wash her face first, by the way, why didn't Yoyo see it?"

Yu Xiu, who was cooking in the kitchen, said: "That little lazy pig hasn't woken up yet, she still needs to sleep for a while. I'll call her after I finish cooking. I was tired after taking them running all day yesterday."

Zhang Hao said nothing, he was really tired.

I just moved to a new home and there are a lot of things to do. Cleaning up the house is one thing, but also going out to play; there is a lake at the door, and there is a simple small dock at the door.It was interesting at this time. Zhang Hao bought a small wooden boat and came back. He took the little ones to row and swim. It was quite interesting.

It is also because I just moved here after all, and although I have settled down, there are still many things that need to be busy in order to live more comfortably.

During the meal, Yu Xiu asked: "I'm still packing up at home today, and I'm bringing the two little ones with me. If you have something to do, go and do it. There are a lot of things to do when you move here."

Zhang Jianye also said, "Didn't you say that you want to build a small vegetable garden? Let me see how many ridges of land can be made first. It is comfortable to live here, but it is not convenient to buy vegetables. Plant some small vegetables first, and it will be more convenient in the future."

Zhang Hao nodded and said, "Then you are busy today. The tool room is empty. We will buy some tools later, otherwise we will not be able to start a vegetable garden. The stables are also repaired. I have to buy two horses in the next two days. When the horse comes back, it’s the kind you ride on the ranch.”

There must be a lot of things to do when you just move. There are various big purchases of various items at home, and some scattered items are found to be indispensable from time to time; it also includes being familiar with the environment of the ranch, although this familiarization process is often It is carried out in a playful way.

But now he needs to get busy. Although Zhang Hao enjoys his current life, he also knows that he can't just think about the current comfort. He still needs to work, because he really doesn't have much money in his pocket.

"I have to apply for a loan today. We have a ranch, so the possibility of getting the loan is relatively high and the amount will be relatively large. I also need to buy cattle, repair fences, and hire cowboys. The money is really indispensable. No For tens of thousands of dollars, our ranch can only be so empty.”

The ranch is bought, but the management of the ranch is not an easy task. Zhang Hao knows that he has a lot of things to do.

There are no cattle in the ranch now, so he must buy a batch of cattle back; Zhang Hao also plans to breed and improve some cattle according to his own understanding, which requires time and money.

Moreover, the condition of the ranch is not particularly good. The former rancher has no intention of running it, so the fence of the ranch needs to be repaired and the grass needs to be replanted. Of course, this is time-consuming and expensive.

As for hiring a cowboy, it is also very necessary. Although Zhang Hao may know a lot of things, he is just a "sighted man with a low hand". He has a lot of theoretical knowledge but basically zero practical experience. Naturally, he needs to hire an experienced cowboy to help.

All of this requires Zhang Hao to spend money and develop slowly. Buying the ranch only means that everything is just getting started.

I drove to the city and made a big purchase. This time it was for the construction of the ranch. Although the United States is well-developed in mechanization, it only has hoes and shovels, which are available in all countries in the world.

Naturally, Zhang Hao couldn't just buy "big things" like hoes. He also needed a lot of scattered tools such as pliers and wire.Since he is a rancher, such things must be indispensable; fortunately, his father is in charge, so Zhang Hao only needs to pay.

After buying the tools, Zhang Hao started to get busy again.

This time, he went straight to Wells Fargo Bank for a loan; although Zhang Hao had no doubts about his ability to make money, he really didn't have any money in hand.I know that the interest on the loan is not low, but who made Zhang Hao need money.

The loan amount used to be pitifully small, but now there is a ranch anyway, so when Zhang Hao applied for a loan of [-] US dollars, he was still sure to get it, although it took a few days to know the result.

I was busy all morning and it was not over, but I was criticized by my precious daughter as soon as I got home.

Xixi had seen her father come back a long time ago. She was catching butterflies with her sister, but when she saw her father's car come back, the little girl grabbed a handful of grass and waited for her father.

"Daddy is a badass!"

Zhang Hao was stunned. At first he was very happy to see Xixi running over, thinking that his precious daughter missed him; but luckily, Xixi threw a handful of grass at him.

Although the girl is too small and has little strength, the few grasses held by her little hands did not touch him at all, but her heart is cold.

Hurrying to grab the daughter who was about to run away, Zhang Hao had to ask, "Xixi, why is dad a big villain?"

Xixi was struggling constantly, she didn't want her father to hug her, "Big mouse, rabbit."

Zhang Hao immediately blushed. When he woke his daughter up in the morning, he said he would take the little girl to see squirrels and rabbits, but he got busy after breakfast. How could he have time to take the little girl to see squirrels?

It is reasonable for Xixi to be angry, and Zhang Hao did not do well in this matter.

He hurriedly coaxed his precious daughter and said, "Xixi, Dad is going to help you find a pet store. Those squirrels and rabbits are disobedient, and Xixi can't find them. But we can go to the pet store. We will go there after lunch." Pet store. Then you can buy a rabbit to be your partner."

Zhang Jianye, who was moving things, was taken aback for a moment, and instinctively felt that it was too early to buy a pet for his little granddaughter; but thinking about it, it was normal, the girl is very small now, and this is a pasture, so buying a pet makes sense.

Since he was going to the pet store, Zhang Jianye also reminded: "Then remember to buy two dogs, not pet dogs. In the future, if you really need dogs for grazing or housekeeping, buy two better dogs and raise them."

Zhang Hao nodded straight, even if his father didn't remind him, he knew that he needed to buy a dog; not only to look after the house, but also to go hunting in the mountains in the future.

Holding Huang on the left and Qingcang on the right, this is Zhang Hao's goal; his ranch is under the mountain, and there will definitely be many hunting opportunities in the future.

Xixi began to cheer, and pouted to kiss her father; she didn't get angry with her bad father anymore, because the little girl now thought of raising small animals.

Yu Xiu prepared a sumptuous meal, although she just moved here; but the kitchen renovation has been completed, it is a typical Chinese kitchen.

Of course, the range hood is nothing, the key is that the firepower of the stove is strong, not the kind of kitchen utensils used by some Americans; the firepower is not strong, and skills such as frying and cooking cannot be used.

Yoyo is gnawing on a big chicken leg, and Xixi is lazily eating vegetables; the staple food of the little girl is still milk, so let's treat food as a supplementary food.

"Yuyou, after dinner, go to the pet shop with my uncle, and my uncle will bring you back to buy some ice cream, okay?"

Yoyo nodded, of course.

But Zhang Hao is not generous, he said again: "Then eat well by yourself, don't let grandpa feed you. If you eat obediently, uncle will take you to buy delicious food, and he can even buy you gifts."

Although I know that it is better to cultivate children's ability to eat by themselves, and I also know that I can't follow the children too much; but to be honest, how many parents can really do it, especially the little ones have grandparents to help take care of them? .

So don't talk so much, coax it!
After eating lunch happily, he was immediately entangled by the two little girls; Zhang Hao also laughed, and was about to sit on the sofa for a while, but the two little girls were tugging and making trouble, but I can take the car keys and go.

Going to buy gifts, snacks, and pets for the little girls;But for Zhang Hao, the business is more than that. His plan also includes buying at least two excellent shepherd dogs.

This is not an easy job, and it requires eyesight!
