Rural life in America

Chapter 23 The growth of the little ones

Patted Xixi's little butt, this little girl really likes to lie in bed more and more now; this is not good news, Xixi always woke up first before, but now it is always a lazy pig who needs Zhang Hao wake her up.

The groaning Xixi was lying on Zhang Hao's shoulder, and was carried out of the room listlessly; the family members were no longer surprised, as long as Xixi finished washing, she would be full of energy, and would make the family run wild. situation.

Sure enough, Xixi quickly rushed out of the bathroom, yelling.

"Grandma, Big Ear is hungry!"

Zhang Jianye replied, "Grandpa fed radishes to Big Ears, and also cleaned the nest for it. Don't worry, Big Ears is ruthless."

Xixi immediately cheered and ran to Grandpa's side, threw herself on Grandpa's lap and acted like a spoiled child, "Grandpa, I love you."

Well, before grandpa could say anything, the little girl ran away like a breeze. Although her short legs were not very strong, she turned around and ran away, yelling, cute white lion and white tiger.

Zhang Hao finished the washing work with a blank face, glanced at Xixi who was sitting on the floor holding a white lion and white tiger playing games, looked at the cute performance of the two cute puppies, and then looked at the bird on the bird stand. Huahua was even more speechless.

"You, everyone knows that you want to hang out with me, but you still have to pretend! Be a little more sensible, and taking the initiative will kill you?"

Huahua was eating figs, and looked at Zhang Hao arrogantly, then suddenly raised her head and shouted, "Damn it!"

Zhang Hao was stunned, although Huahua's voice was very broken, and although Huahua's words were very unclear; but Zhang Hao was sure that Huahua had really learned to speak, and what it said was 'terrible'!
"Dad, did you hear Huahua talking just now?"

Zhang Jianye, who was originally sitting on the sofa, stood up early, and ran to the bird stand to look at Huahua with a very happy look.

"I heard, you mean death, right?"

Zhang Hao nodded straight, this is really good news; sure enough, he was not mistaken, although Huahua has not been very popular since he arrived at home, but now he has thoroughly proved his presence.

"It's terribly talking, it learned to talk before it could fly! Huahua, say one more!"

Huahua became arrogant, didn't even look at Zhang Hao, and continued to eat its figs, completely ignoring Zhang Hao, the owner who valued her the most at home, and continued to do her own way.

Zhang Jianye also joined in the fun, teasing Huahua and said, "Huahua, tell me one more thing. It's terrible, it's terrible!"

Although both father and son were teasing Huahua, this arrogant parrot ignored Zhang Hao and the others at all, and continued to eat figs like an old god, which was a typical example of all kinds of ignorance.

Zhang Hao and his father are now interested, trying to tease Huahua to talk again; since Huahua has said "terrible" once, it means that it can already talk, and if it is educated well, it will definitely become better in the future. Come on a date to talk.

Yu Xiu came out with the food, and asked a little funny: "What are you two getting up to early in the morning? Huahua managed to be honest, and you two provoked it again. It really pissed it off, it can bark several times. Hours, it can blow people's ears. Just be honest, don't mess with it, Huahua has a bad temper!"

Zhang Hao immediately said excitedly: "Huahua spoke just now, and Dad heard it too. We are teaching it to speak now, and we will teach it soon!"

Yu Xiu suddenly became interested, "Can it really talk? What is it talking about? It's only been a few months now, it can talk, it's really amazing!"

Zhang Hao said triumphantly, "It took more than four months for the feathers to grow. They have a relatively strong adaptability, and they are also smart. It is normal to learn to speak so quickly now."

Continue to reach out to tease Huahua, this guy has completely fallen into the charm of dried fruits now, and he doesn't plan to talk to Zhang Hao, the master, at all.

Impatiently, she turned her head away, and when Zhang Hao pestered him again, Huahua even impatiently wanted to peck Zhang Hao hard.If it weren't for Zhang Hao's quick eyes and hands to dodge, he might really be pecked by the powerful bird's beak.

Well, Scarlet Macaws are quite lively and curious. They can quickly adapt to new owners and environments, and become stronger once they adapt to the environment.And these guys are not so easy to trust people, this is when they are young, when they mature, they tend to become noisy and aggressive, and they may lose the complete sense of trust with their owners!

Zhang Hao still needs to continue to work hard, he needs to continue to work hard to gain Huahua's trust, and he can't let Huahua become wild again after being tamed.

It is very challenging, but Zhang Hao is still willing to accept these, and he also has some confidence and confidence.

He was trying his best to teach Huahua, but this kid was not moved at all; continuing to put on a high-cold posture really made people gnash their teeth.

Zhang Jianye was a little disappointed, but he also thought it was normal. He persuaded: "Huahua is still young, give it some time. It will be very tiring to let it learn a lot of things when a child is very young, and the bird is the same. It is now It's too small, it's better not to put too much pressure on it."

What can I do, I can only do this, "Well, that is indeed the case, and it will take some time. But I think it is almost there. Since Huahua can learn to speak a word, it means that it will have the opportunity to learn more words in the future. Once it grows up a bit, then you don't have to worry about it."

It's true, Huahua is too young now, so I can't teach it too much; but I can be sure, when Huahua grows up, there is no need to worry.Since it can learn the first sentence at a 'young age', it is very likely that it will gradually master more languages; don't expect it to become a language genius, but you can still count on this guy to be a real parrot!

Xixi has grown up, and Zhang Hao feels very happy to see the little guy eating with a small spoon unskillfully.

Although the little guy is very good at spilling food, and the table is full of food, it doesn't matter; as long as Xixi learns to eat slowly, it is progress, although she is not very good at using spoons, let alone learning to use chopsticks Yes, but these are all stages that must be experienced in the growth process.

"After dinner, I will teach my dad to ride a horse. It will be more convenient to ride a horse on the ranch in the future, so that he can be regarded as a real cowboy. I don't expect my dad to learn how to loop and drive cattle, but it is necessary to ride a horse for dry roads. You'd better learn to drive, otherwise it will be inconvenient to leave the ranch in the future."

Zhang Jianye and Yu Xiu didn't seem to have much objection to these, because they both knew that what Zhang Hao said was indeed true.

It is necessary to master the technique of riding a horse. At least for cowboys, riding a horse is sometimes much more convenient than driving a car.Also because I live on a ranch in the countryside, I usually need to drive to go to the city, and it is really inconvenient not to have a car.

Yu Xiu didn't have much interest in horseback riding, so she should learn to drive; as for Zhang Jianye, he was very interested in horseback riding, and he was also interested in driving.

Zhang Hao now has some more tasks. He will not be the only one in the family who can drive in the future. It also includes teaching his father some riding skills. Dad seems to be very interested in becoming a cowboy.

There is also Xixi who is very interested in riding horses. The little girl is now familiar with her little pony, Fatty, and now she not only leads the little fatty to run around the door every day.Seeing her father teaching her grandfather how to ride a horse, the little girl rode on the little fat man's back with great interest, acting like a little rider.

This look is very cute and cute, the cute little girl is riding a short pony, how interesting it is!

My father still seems to be a little talented, according to my father, it is some experience of riding a bull when he was a child; he has made good progress, although there is still a long way to go from riding a horse alone, but this is already some good progress, and this is not two days a day. It is a technique that can be mastered in a day, which requires continuous study and hard practice.

After lunch, Zhang Hao drove away without Xixi, because Zhang Hao was going to the gun shop this time, and he was about to start preparing for hunting.

I have already started planning, and the time is ripe; buying a gun in the United States is actually quite simple, as long as you have American citizenship or a green card, pass the age limit, and have no criminal records.Obviously, Zhang Hao passed the test.

The pistol is the famous Browning M1911, a standard pistol record in the history of the US military for more than [-] years. This is definitely a good gun.

The rifle I chose was Remington 700, the same classic rifle, very practical!
The shotgun I chose was a Belgian Browning 27 vertical double-barreled shotgun, which is widely used for hunting and shooting sports.

Not to mention the complete range of long and short guns, they are also very targeted; for Zhang Hao, the hunting skills may not be very good, but he can definitely get a professional model first, which is going to take the route of RMB players.

It is impossible to get a gun back immediately, and it takes time for approval; the gun control in Oregon is not as strict as that of California, but it is not as good as that of Texas, which is said to be tough.

Zhang Hao is still a little patient, and it is also because he knows that he is not in a hurry to go hunting in the mountains now.

The little days are getting more and more moist, the little ones in the family are growing up, and the adults also have their own enjoyment and fun.

Also because there are many expectations now, this is Zhang Hao's wonderful and beautiful life!
