Rural life in America

Chapter 29 The Pebble Gun

Zhang Hao felt a lot of pressure, pressure from all aspects.

Mom and Dad kept asking about some things, such as what is the relationship between Zhang Hao and Christina; although Zhang Hao explained that they were just ordinary friends now, they obviously didn't believe it.

As for the relationship with Christina, although it has improved a bit; it is just that the exchanges of phone calls and emails have become more frequent. In addition, when Zhang Hao occasionally goes out to make money from horse racing, he will go to Portland and have a meal with Christina by the way. , Watch a movie.

It’s not even a date, at least the two of you haven’t held hands yet, let alone hugging or kissing; at most, you’re talking about more topics now, it’s no longer just a simple conversation, it’s starting to be a little 'deep', now it’s the real start Slowly get to know each other.

Earning money to support the family, developing the ranch, and of course, it seems that I have started my second spring; life is still very exciting, and Zhang Hao is still very satisfied, especially now that all aspects are basically good news.

Zhang Hao wasn't very rich, but he wasn't short of money either; he ran to find a few first-level matches to bet on, and he was basically guaranteed to make some money.

In addition to household use, more is spent on the construction of pastures; now we have begun to replace pastures on a large scale. This is a good pasture that Zhang Hao has worked hard to find, especially pasture seeds produced by some excellent pastures. The price is not cheap, and it will cost Zhang Hao a lot of money.

There is no need to worry about the breeding cattle. Two adult bulls with potential have been pulled out to take care of them; there are three calves with good potential, and they are now in the stage of key observation. They may be responsible for growing pasture cattle in the future. Group responsibility, it will be a very happy 'profession'.

Xixi is getting happier and more carefree now, the little girl just spends her days having fun in the ranch, happily doing evil at home, and growing up with unscrupulous fun.

Big Ears and Little Fatty have limited IQs, and they are just Xixi's pets; but the potential of the young couple, White Lion and White Tiger, is quite good. Although they often make things happen at home, these two fast-growing little guys are getting better and better. The livelier they are, the more popular they are at home.

As for Huahua, although she often puts on a cold attitude, it must be admitted that this little guy has made good progress. At least he has gradually started to trust Zhang Hao, and he has also begun to have a good understanding of life in the ranch. I got used to it.

The development of the ranch is gratifying, not only that the various works on the ranch are progressing quite well, but also that the family members are very adaptable and enjoy it here.

Mom went to the vegetable garden to weed, and dad rode a horse early in the morning to work with Greg; as for Zhang Hao and Xixi, Zhang Hao still has a lot of things to do, and Xixi can give He helps.

"Xixi, grab another handful of rocks for Dad, okay?"

Xixi, who was sitting on the grass and hugging the white lion, immediately sat up with the support of her little hands, and vigorously swung her short legs to find the little stone.

Zhang Hao is beating the stone with a small hammer. He is also practicing now, practicing his flying stone stunt; although the current flying stone is quite average, he also knows that it cannot be practiced in a day or two. Yes, but he is working hard.

This is an excellent opportunity, an opportunity to become a kung fu master; everyone has a dream of becoming a martial arts master, Zhang Hao now has such an opportunity, of course he will not miss it, although he knows that he seems to have missed the best Practice age.

Xixi grabbed a small stone and ran over, handed it to her father as if offering a treasure, and said, "Dad, stone!"

Zhang Hao pointed to his face and said, "Xixi is really amazing, hurry up and give Dad a kiss!"

The little girl immediately pouted and kissed Zhang Hao's face fiercely, then continued to sit on the grass next to her and watched her father hit the small stone with a small hammer.

Zhang Hao's strength is very average, and he still doesn't have the ability to cause damage by picking up a stone at random; if he wants to practice the flying stone stunt, he still needs some good stones.

Who made Zhang Hao just a junior rookie now, he needs suitable stones to practice his hands; There is some distance.

It is really not an easy thing to become a kung fu master, and Zhang Hao knows this better.

After Yu Xiu finished her work in the vegetable garden, she also laughed when she saw Zhang Hao and Xixi, "Don't take Xixi to bask in the sun, our Xixi is going to turn into little black charcoal now, under the sun all day long Run around."

Zhang Hao glanced at Xixi and said: "Fortunately, Xixi is not dark, her skin is a little fair, unlike us who get too tanned and easy to get dark. It's okay to be dark, and a healthy wheat color is also good. Here in the United States It is said that black is healthier."

Yu Xiu laughed again: "That's true. The United States doesn't talk about whiteness and cleanliness. They really like outdoor sports. I remember that Yoyo took her back to her hometown for the New Year when she was a little over two years old. After staying at home for a few days, she got tanned. .I always like to run outside and bask in the sun all day long. I taught her to face the sun with her back, and she insisted on sitting on a small bench with her face facing the sun."

Zhang Hao also laughed, children really had too many interesting things when they were young; Zhang Hao knew some interesting things about his little niece, not to mention that Xixi was by his side, Zhang Hao naturally knew that these little guys had some funny things fun.

Still laughing at the children, Zhang Hao was betrayed by his mother; when he was young, although he expressed doubts about some things his mother said, his mother spoke with certainty, as if what he said was reality.

"Your boss said that Yoyo couldn't stay at home just like you did when you were young. You were really dark when you were young, and you couldn't stay at home during the summer vacation. You were like a coal digger all summer. Xixi is better than you, and you can't stay in the sun." Not to mention black, a little bit darker and then whitened after a while. If you get tanned, it’s hard to make it white. When you were a child, you got a lot of tan and your body was fishy!"

Zhang Hao continued to knock on the stone with a small hammer, this topic cannot be answered; although no one had any bad memories when they were young, it is best not to answer this topic.Fortunately, there were no outsiders here; although Xixi had started to chatter a little and couldn't keep secrets, she still didn't understand these esoteric topics.

Xixi, who was like a little follower, didn't plan to continue helping her father find stones, she ran to find her grandma; the little girl was thinking about finding her grandma again, and coquettishly wanted to mix some ice cream or other snacks to eat.

Zhang Jianye came back riding a horse. Although he was just jogging and jogging, he was able to run anyway. It was a bit like a cowboy. This is really amazing.

Seeing his son knocking stones, he leaned over and looked at him and said, "What is this for? You are such a big man, and you are still playing the game of picking stones, right?"

Zhang Hao sweated a lot, he really didn't want to play the game of catching stones; it's hard to say whether children nowadays can play such games, but Zhang Hao really played many such games when he was young.

Zhang Jianye shook his head and left, just criticizing his son for not doing his job properly; he didn't bother to care about the younger son, because he knew that the younger son was a little unreliable, and because although Zhang Hao was still a little unreliable and playful, He is more down-to-earth and sensible, and now he knows how to run the ranch well.

Zhang Hao wobbled a small bag, which contained [-] to [-] carefully hammered small stones; in the future, he will practice the flying stone stunt, this weapon has been polished, and he really needs to start practicing Work done.

At dinner time, Zhang Hao also laughed when he saw Xixi eating with a small spoon; he has made great progress, and he has made great progress. It's time to eat.

Zhang Hao began to talk about his thoughts again: "Dad, I will go hunting in the mountains in two days, do you want to join in the fun?"

As soon as the words fell, Yu Xiu scolded: "You're itchy, you've only had a comfortable life for two days and you can just blame yourself, what are you doing?! I'm not happy when you bought a gun, it's so dangerous to keep at home , you still have to go hunting!"

Zhang Hao had a headache, he naturally knew what his mother meant.

In China, guns are really not accessible to ordinary people; but this is the United States, and holding a gun is nothing.

As for hunting, interesting!

Explain, in fact, Zhang Hao also knows that his mother doesn’t care about guns at all. She is worried that the guns will not be put away. In the United States, there are really few families without guns, especially those who live in the countryside. More insurance.

Why is there no market for the gun ban and dangerous gun laws in the United States? Isn’t it because Americans think that holding guns is to protect their families!
