Chapter 14 McDull and Fat Ding

On the vast pasture, an Angus cow was lowering his head to eat grass.

It has been eating a lot recently, not only because it wants to supplement its nutrients, but also because it is a little life that is constantly absorbing the energy of its mother.

The grass mud horses enjoyed free time. They were social animals. Hundreds of alpacas had already run to the side of the road under the glorious guidance of the foolish leader.

The grass here has not been eaten by other animals. Alfalfa covers the alpaca's legs and wrists, and their strange leader has only two long ears left outside, eating fresh grass happily, fighting with each other from time to time, but it is getting farther and farther away from the sheep pen.

The roar of cars came from the flat road, and the alpacas looked up one after another. The leader seemed to find something, spread his short legs and chased him. This silly look, who else could there be if he wasn't McDull.

A large group of grass and mud horses ran past, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Simmental cattle, and they all looked up and glared at them. Unfortunately, the perpetrators escaped too quickly, so the cows could only give up. After a while, they forgot their minds and lie on the grass to rest.

The road that lasts several kilometers long is covered with low shrubs, which are lavender planted in previous years.

In May, the buds have just cracked, and you can vaguely see the purple feeling. Unfortunately, a lot of cattle and sheep have been ruined by cattle and sheep before they have time to bloom every year. Now cowboys are railings around the circle, hoping that they can survive until June this year.

Old Patton leaned against the tree to rest, and there were two young cowboys next to him, in his twenties, and they seemed to be newcomers who had just been recruited in the ranch. Seeing this car that they had never seen before, the old man put down his lunch box and was about to ask. The two young cowboys also stood up. At this time, he saw him steadily facing him and laughed loudly: "Boss! You are back!"

As soon as the car stopped, Xiao Hanxuan ran out and said to the old cowboy, "Grandpa Patton, I miss you so much."

"Haha, so is grandpa. You have grown taller in more than half a month!"

"Boss, I heard you were driving back from New York all the way, are you doing well?"

Old Patton smiled and went upstairs to live in Han Qianshan and patted him on the back, bent down to pick Han Xuan up, his face flushed. This was the first time that the little guy had left the ranch for so long, and he was not used to it. After carefully looking at the boy in his arms for a long time, he felt relieved and kissed his tender face. Han Xuan made him laugh and bent down to avoid it.

Han Qianshan twisted his shoulders and looked depressed: "Hey, don't mention it. I'm so tired after forgetting them."

Patton looked at the boss in confusion: "Don't you know that the other ranchers are traveling together and driving in turns?"

“…They didn’t say this.”

Han Xuan looked at his father and laughed out loud.

The two young cowboys seemed to be at a loss. Seeing that Han’s father looked over, they introduced themselves: “Hello, boss, I’m Anderson, I’ve just arrived at the ranch for four days.”

"I'm Martinez, from Wyoming."

Han’s father nodded and stretched out his hand to them: “Are you still used to living here? I have too many cattle and sheep on my farm and it’s hard to take care of it. Thank you so much.”

"It's okay, this is the best place I've ever seen forage! They're very good."

The person who spoke was Martinez, a black man, and he was rare in the cowboy industry.

Old Patton raised his hand and patted the black guy on the shoulder and said to Han Qianshan: "Boss, Martinez is a student of agricultural economics at Montana State University. He is now internship in our ranch. He is a very good guy. And Anderson is the same. He has been in contact with livestock since he was a child and is very good at taking care of them. I have been much more relaxed recently. It seems that it is almost time to go home to retire."

"Grandpa Patton, you are not old at all. I'm still waiting for you to teach me to ride a horse." Han Xuan hugged the old cowboy's neck and said coquettishly.

The old cowboy smiled and narrowed her eyes, raised her head and kissed him again: "Yes, I still want to watch you grow up and get married!"

Several people were talking on the road. Fat Ding was bored and jumped out of the car window, intending to find the little master.

At this time, a black shadow crossed its head, and then passed one after another. Perhaps because he didn't see the road, a grass mud horse stepped on its tail.

Now Fat Ding is so angry that he sees me as easy to bully, right? He chases after him with a meow and grabs the alpaca.

These non-mainstream people in the countryside have never seen cats. The group behind them stretched their necks, stopped quickly, widened their eyes and immediately retreated tacitly, stayed away from the alpaca that was being grabbed by Fat Ding.

The person involved was already scared and his saliva flowed out of his mouth. He looked down at the little guy biting and scratching his body. After a long time, he found that it didn't hurt. Then he recovered and kicked his legs gently, and the fat Ding flew in response.

Mr. Cao Nima shook his hair and was about to take a step, but turned his head and saw the monster rushing up again...

McDull finally arrived at his master.

The short legs are too disadvantageous. The alpacas need to take three steps, so Han Xuan only saw the donkey running desperately, and the alpacas swaying behind them, never forgetting to be handsome at any time or anywhere.

"Oh, I feel sorry for you."

The boy sighed in his heart and asked Grandpa Patton to put him down.

McDull kept jumping into his master's arms. Han Xuan was staggered by it, hugging its big head and cursing, "Ah, you fat man, are you stealing food again if I'm not there?"

McDull showed a signature smile. No other donkey could learn it. He stuck out his tongue like a dog and wanted to lick him, but Han Xuan smiled and avoided it.

Fat Ding saw this scene not far away, and didn't care about the alpaca in front of him, and ran towards the boy quickly. When he arrived, he hugged the boy's trouser legs like a competing favor, rubbed the bun's face on his feet, and meowed when the master picked it up. He didn't forget to squint McDull, rolled in Han Xuan's arms and continued to act coquettishly, which made several people laugh.

Han’s father was really afraid of driving. The remaining road was not long, so he planned to walk home with his son.

Anderson and Martinez both wanted to get enough of it, and they couldn't argue and guessed the punches. Unexpectedly, several of them were tied, so they simply discussed that they would drive half of each person, and then everyone was very happy.

Xiao Hanxuan shrugged helplessly. What's the point of fighting for a few hundred meters? The car was not in the ranch and drove casually...

In front of the cabin, Guo’s mother was sitting at the door washing clothes. The machine was washed without washing hands. Her husband and son were not at home, and she had a lot less work and she finished it in just a few pieces.

It is also convenient to cook, and it can be used to cook two dishes. She has no usual seriousness. The seasonings are the same as before, but they taste less delicious.

Guo's mother shook her head, wringed the water in her clothes, and looked at the road habitually.

The first person I saw was McDull, and I was curious why this little thing was so excited. Later, I saw a father and son, one big and one little boy, and hurriedly wiped his hands on his clothes, stood up and walked out.

"Son, you are back, oh Qianshan, haven't you lost yet?"

"Mom!"

"Wife!"

"Let go of your hands, you haven't taken a shower for a few days, it's so smelly."

“…”

The wooden house soon filled the fragrance, and four dishes and soup were served on the table. Han’s father originally planned to eat it first, but his wife knocked a chopstick on his head before he was honest.

After taking a shower, Han Xuan found that he forgot to take his clothes and didn't want to wear them. He simply slipped naked and walked out with a swagger. He didn't look at him anyway.

McDull and Fat Ding followed him, staring at him from time to time, one turned his head and rolled his eyes to express disdain, the other expressed dissatisfaction with his face, and then stared at Han Xuan together. The boys were embarrassed by the two of them and ran to the room to dress in shame.

After eating, he felt the most comfortable. He lay on the sofa and didn't want to move. It took him a long time to calm down. Han Xuan planned to go out alone and look at the ranch that had been separated for a long time. Unexpectedly, he heard the bells behind him as soon as he went out, so two more followers were with him.

The foundation of the new house has just been laid, and it is now afternoon and the workers are coming to work.

More than 20 people built wooden racks together, and the speed was very fast. The mixer kept turning, and the cement gravel creaked, and then it was poured into the wooden board mezzanine. The thick wall was 40 cm long.

The big pit in the swimming pool was also dug out. Now that it has just begun to be in the form of a prototype, Han Xuan nodded with satisfaction, shook his head with his hands behind his back and went to the lakeside.

At this time, a pickup truck drove over from the side of the road, and the owner of the Augsger Ranch in the east, the old Augsger.

His son Balze also appeared in sight. Han Xuan was ashamed to think of something bad. He was afraid that this little guy would pester him to tell stories, so he asked Old Augsger first: "Uncle, is there anything you have to do?"

"Little guy, can you take me to find your father? I have something to tell him."

Seeing the serious expression on his face, Xiao Han nodded: "My father is resting in the room. Please wait for a while, I'll call him."

Old Augsger is now in his fifties and is considered a child in his old age. He is usually a very kind person.

Han Qianshan soon came out with his son and started talking to Old Ogsger. He gradually moved away from the younger generations. It looked like neither of them looked very good.

Han Xuan was curious about what happened, so he turned his head to ask Balze, who was not very interested, and said, "What's wrong?"

Balze raised his head, grinned and looked into the distance: "Can you finish that story? I might move away soon, so I want to finish it."

“Move away? Why?”

"Well, back to Panama, it was my father who said it, and I don't know..."

Balze's wish was not fulfilled and he was taken home by his father.

Han Qianshan came to his son, as if he saw his curiosity, and said, "There was something wrong with the Augsger business, so he wanted to sell his ranch. Do you think we want to buy it?"

"It's that Augsger Ranch? The 50,000-acre ranch!?"

The boy was surprised.
