Rural life in America

Chapter 12 It will get better and better

I started to move in a lively manner. Although many things are not expensive, but after all, I rented the house for two years, and I still have a lot of daily necessities for the family.

Zhang Hao's pickup truck and Phil's pickup truck are both very capable of loading things, and Barney can't let this guy let it go, he can also put some things in his car, although there are not many.

Moving is a joy, because the place I am going to this time is my real home, a place where I can settle down.

Xixi and Yoyo are still young and naturally don't know much, but the adults are very happy.

As soon as the ranch changed hands, Zhang Hao immediately began to prepare to move; there was nothing to say, and he really settled down when he arrived at the ranch.

In the car, Zhang Jianye, who was overjoyed, suddenly asked, "Xiaohao, you bought a ranch and a car, and we spent a lot of money during this time. How can you get a ranch without money?"

Zhang Hao replied: "I can go to horse races. Although there are not many big races now, I can earn tens of thousands of dollars a month if I suffer a bit. And I can also mortgage the ranch for loans. The United States is the same as China, and the loan with assets is high. .I just made some money a while ago, and the bank immediately helped me increase the credit card limit, although it was not much."

Zhang Jianye said again: "I know you know how to race horses, but this matter is not a long-term plan. There is no guarantee that one day you will miss it or have some accidents. Since you bought the ranch, you should get down to the ranch."

Zhang Hao nodded and said: "Well, I know this well. The money from horse racing comes quickly because I have no other way. Now that there is a ranch, I will of course stay at the ranch. Don't worry, I will definitely walk very steadily."

Hearing what the youngest son said, Zhang Jianye and Yu Xiu felt relieved; what they were most worried about was that Zhang Hao had been relying too much on horse racing. horse racing.

Zhang Hao explained: "I originally planned to raise horses, but raising horses will not pay off in a short time. It is hard to find a good stallion-horse, and the pregnancy period of almost a year is too time-consuming and expensive. Now I don't want to raise horses. It is suitable for running a horse farm, and there will be no money back in three to five years. I will raise the pasture first, and I will look for the pasture carefully during this time."

Yu Xiu asked suspiciously, "Looking for pasture? What's so special about pasture, do you understand this?"

Zhang Hao choked for a moment. Now he really knows what kind of pasture is suitable for what kind of livestock; but some things can't be explained too clearly with his parents, they can only be vague.

"Of course, forage grasses are now more common, such as ryegrass, alfalfa, king bamboo grass, and corngrass. Different species are suitable for different animals. I want to match them to find an optimal balance point. Being able to gain weight quickly and ensure nutrition is also to slowly improve the cattle we raise.”

Zhang Jianye and Yu Xiu didn't understand these things, but they seemed to be very powerful when they heard their son say that.

The youngest son who feels unreliable has really worked hard and learned a lot of knowledge to become a good rancher during this time.

Chatting happily all the way, the three cars also arrived in Klamath Falls.

Although the house is a bit old, it is not considered a dilapidated house; it has three bedrooms and one living room, complete kitchen and bathroom, enough for the whole family to live in.

Although there are no home appliances and the kitchen is empty, they were all moved away by the previous rancher; but as long as Zhang Hao spends some money to decorate, the new home will immediately feel warm.

I also made preparations before I came. Sofas, TVs, etc. have been ordered in advance and will be delivered to the ranch soon.Now pack up and get ready for lunch.

Zhang Hao and his friends went to the city to buy some food and daily necessities, and brought back a grill by the way; since he became a rancher, he naturally wanted to have a barbecue party.

Zhang Hao's parents are taking care of their children at home, and they will clean up by the way; it will be very pleasant for everyone to divide the work and cooperate.

After working in the city for more than an hour before returning, Zhang Hao laughed as soon as he parked the car in front of the house.

Youyou and Xixi have become painted-faced cats, and the hair of the two little girls is messed up; the reason, of course, is that they are too crazy to play. These two little girls chase butterflies and pick flowers like crazy.

Seeing her father coming back, Xixi immediately ran over, "Dad, mouse."

Just when Zhang Hao was wondering, Yoyo immediately interjected, "Uncle, grandma said it's a squirrel that can climb trees."

Zhang Hao immediately laughed, "Where is it? Are squirrels fun?"

Xixi anxiously went straight to her father's side, and Youyou could explain it clearly, "There is a big tree behind the house, and the tail is very big, and I can't tell it to come down."

Xixi was in a hurry, hugging her father's leg and shouting 'Dad' all the time.I want to say something clearly, but my expressive ability is limited, and it is "fun" and "mouse" tossing and turning. The little finger is happily communicating with Dad while pointing to the back of the room.

Phil and Barney started to help move things. They were helping their buddies move, and they also came to get to know the ranch.

As for Zhang Hao, holding Xixi in his arms and leading Yoyo, he was pestered by two little girls to find the squirrel.

Sure enough, I saw a squirrel on the tree behind the house; the two little girls shouted excitedly, which naturally scared the squirrel away.

Zhang Hao also laughed, Xixi had basically never seen any wild animals before; the same was true for Yoyo, living in Dashanghai when he was in China, how many opportunities did he have to get close to nature.

I feel that the location of the new home is good, just at the foot of the mountain; but Zhang Hao also feels that he needs to be more cautious, although the living environment of some wild animals in the United States has been damaged in recent years.But generally speaking, there are quite a lot of wild animals in the United States. Just living at the foot of the mountain like this, there is no guarantee that there will not be any large wild animals going down the mountain.

I feel that I need to protect my family and need to be armed.

It is necessary to buy a gun. On the one hand, I like it very much, and because it can face the threat of some people or wild animals.Of course, the ancestor's flying stone skills also need to be practiced. In fact, Zhang Hao aspires to become a "martial arts master".

After washing and brushing, the barbecue grill was placed on the grass at the door; this is not a lawn, but an open space.Fortunately, this is a pasture, so it won't be very barren.

There is a lake at the door, and this kind of barbecue is very delicious.

"Tired to death, but very happy."

Hearing what his mother said, Zhang Hao also laughed, "I'm very happy. Of course I'm happy to settle down. But our life has just begun, and it will definitely get better and better in the future."

Phil, who was sweating profusely, brought over a plate of beef that had been tested, and continued to work on the barbecue; the theme of this barbecue was a barbecue feast, including roast beef, roast steak, roast chicken legs, and roast chicken wings.As for nothing at all, as long as it is grilled, it is all meat!
The little girl Xixi started acting like a spoiled child. Seeing grandma eating, Xixi, who was holding a baby bottle, ran to grandma's side, laying on grandma's lap, took a sip of milk and yelled, "Grandma." '.

Yoyo doesn't know how to use chopsticks, and usually needs someone to feed her at home; this time, she just clings to her grandfather, who is helping her cut the beef, and the little girl is very happy eating the beef.

Although there is no refrigerator at home now, Zhang Hao, who has already considered these things, bought a small bucket of ice cubes when he was in the city, so that cold beer tastes better.

Clink glasses with Phil and Barney, and have a sip with Dad; Xixi and Yoyo also join in the fun, shouting cheers all the time, and they have to clink glasses.

One is holding a baby bottle and the other is holding a juice.

It wasn't a big moving party, to be sure, but everyone was happy.

Because the environment here makes people feel happy, because everyone hopes to see Zhang Hao live a better life.

And Zhang Hao is also very clear that all this is just the beginning; he believes that his life will definitely get better and better, he believes that his life on the ranch will definitely become more and more comfortable and happy, and of course he also has the confidence to take good care of his family and friends.

For these, Zhang Hao has no doubts.
