Little Life on An American Ranch
Chapter 406: can't work
Chapter 406 Can't work anymore
After sending Jian Heng out, Zhao Changshan had an apologetic expression on his face: "I'm really sorry, I made you run around for almost an afternoon!"
"Hey! Why are you bringing this up to me? You should go back and comfort the old lady and tell her that it's not a big deal. There are almost no people who haven't been arrested by the police in the United States." Jian Heng opened a said jokingly.
Zhao Changshan sighed lightly: "My mother is timid, forget it, then be careful on the road, and I won't send you off. By the way, thank you for sending me little piggy, or I will go to New York I bought it there and brought it back."
"Small things, that's enough, let's go back." Jian Heng stretched out his hand and opened the car door. After getting in the car, he waved his hand at Zhao Changshan, and then started the car to go home.
When we got home and entered the house, before we could take a break, everyone in the room gathered together and asked what was going on with Jian Heng. Jian Heng explained the matter in a simple way.
Sun Xiuying was stunned when she heard it: "Selling a vegetable can still be sold into the bureau? How much money can you make by selling a few vegetables? Isn't this American making too much of a fuss?"
"This is to control food safety!" Jian Heng said to his mother, "No matter what you sell, you must have a license, otherwise it is illegal. It was not so serious before, and the fine is a bit painful. If it is a first-time offender It’s okay to add education and education, but now that the timing is wrong, it can be regarded as the old lady’s bad luck!”
Jian Zhenhua opened his mouth and said, "Fortunately, I didn't sell vegetables. I saw that there were so many vegetables in the greenhouse at home, and I planned to exchange some for some money."
"Stop it, as long as it involves making money here, don't be so clever, you must discuss it with us. No, it's 50,000 US dollars to keep the old lady out, but I don't want to spend another 50,000 Go and protect the two of you," Jian Heng jokingly said to his parents.
Barley was a little puzzled when he heard it: "Why did you get so much bail?"
"The judge meant that he was afraid that the old lady would flee back to the country," Jian Heng said.
He said so, but Jian Heng knew in his heart that nine out of ten the judge saw that the old lady was Chinese and her son was buying a farm in the United States, so the sentence was a bit higher. Now almost all of the United States has a consensus that they are Chinese If you are rich, what the Chinese buy is expensive. Since the Chinese can afford it, it is only natural that the bail is "somewhat" higher than that of the Americans.
However, if you know this matter, you know it, but it is a tacit matter. If you say that people are racially discriminated, you need evidence. How do you get evidence for this thing?
Sun Xiuying immediately said after hearing this: "Then can I get the money back?"
"This is bail money, not a fine, how can I not get it back?" Jian Heng signaled his mother not to worry that the money would run away.
Sun Xiuying is still worried, this is 50,000 U.S. dollars, and the co-authored RMB must be at least 300,000 yuan. Sun Xiuying is afraid that the Americans will hack her own 50,000 U.S. dollars.
Jian Zhenhua knew what his wife was thinking, and immediately comforted him and said, "Don't worry, you think it's the policemen in our county. If you can give it when the time comes, then you can give it. Listen to your son." That's enough, what kind of mind are you messing with!"
"I can't worry a little bit, just like you are heartless all day long?" Sun Xiuying immediately scolded Jian Zhenhua.
After finishing the fight, he said to Jian Heng: "There was a fight with children behind Xibian Middle School, and they paid 20,000 yuan in bail. After the matter is over, go to the police and ask for 20,000 yuan?"
Having said that, Sun Xiuying clapped her hands and then spread her hands apart in an empty gesture: "No! The police didn't say no, they said they didn't have any money now, and they issued an IOU, saying it was when they had money. Give it again, it’s been almost a year since I held the IOU in my hand, and I haven’t seen the shadow of the money yet.”
Jian Heng only listened to it as a joke, and after his mother finished speaking, he said, "Don't worry, the police here really don't dare to do this!"
The domestic side dares to do anything because of the lack of supervision. In fact, in Jian Heng's opinion, there is no supervision at all.
Next, the family chatted about this matter and prepared to have dinner. Tonight, Kate, an old lady with a bad temper, was not present. Not only was Kate gone, but even Matthew was absent. The only outsider was Mr. Yao. Everyone ate while eating After chatting and eating for more than an hour, the scene ended.
After eating, Jian Heng, his father and brother-in-law Yang Bin took Mr. Yao to the barn and fed the animals once. In the early morning, Mr. Yao will feed today, and tomorrow it will be Jian Zhenhua. And every day when the sky is about to dawn, Jian Heng will feed the materials, and Yang Bin is all daytime work.
In the past two days, Jian Heng didn't have time to massage Barley and Wheat. After finishing his busy work, his breath seemed to be falling apart, and he fell asleep snoring beautifully after lying on the bed for a while.
As soon as he opened his eyes the next day, he got up and had work to do. First, drive the cattle out of the barn, and then feed the animals. After the cattle and sheep had eaten, Jian Heng had to go to the barn to start sweeping the dung until The sweeping arm was numb, Jian Heng raised his head and found that most of the shed hadn't been swept yet.
"Damn! Jian Heng really didn't want to sweep the cow dung, so he picked up the phone and prepared to order a sweeper. When Jian Heng took out the phone, he found that it was not yet seven o'clock in the morning. This The stores that sell machines are the earliest in season, and they open at 10:30 at the earliest, and some even open in the afternoon.
After thinking for a while, Jian Heng called Catherine again and asked her directly to borrow a sweeper.
While waiting for Jian Zhen and Mr. Yao to come over and prepare to help, Jian Heng had already borrowed the sweeper and cleaned the entire barn. Now he is washing the sweeper with water.
"Is this thing for sweeping manure?" Jian Zhenhua looked at the car that looked like a miniature van in front of him, and immediately asked with great interest.
Master Yao asked, "Is there a special car for sweeping the dung?"
"Of course there is a car." Jian Heng stretched out his hand and patted the thing in front of him: "This thing is it!"
"Then why didn't you buy one earlier?" Mr. Yao looked at Jian Heng in a strange way.
Jian Heng said: "Look at what I am doing, I used to think that someone with such a small amount of cattle would buy a dung sweeper?"
The dozens of pigs in Jian Heng's family generally don't need a manure sweeper. The dry-wet separation system in the barn is already high-level. Jian Heng thought it would be too wasteful to get a manure sweeper, let alone Jane. Hang on, even Toby, the current ranch supervisor, didn't think about using a dung sweeper. It can be seen that such a vehicle is completely unnecessary for such a small herd.
Of course now it's the boss's turn to sweep the shit, the boss feels that this thing is very necessary.
Jian Heng is not the same Jian Heng as before. When he was rescued by old Anders, he cleaned such a large barn almost every day by himself, and he didn't complain at all. But now that people are expensive, it is also a waste of energy. I would rather spend my energy in the gym rolling iron than sweeping the dung in the cowshed.
This is actually understandable. There is heating in the gym and there is no smell of feces. Does the cowshed smell like anything?
"Can this thing sweep the stables?" Mr. Yao remembered that the cowshed was cleaned, and there was probably no one sweeping the stables yet. The old man asked only with a glimmer of hope.
Based on the observation of the old man, this thing cannot be driven into the compartment of the stable. Since it cannot be driven in, there is no way to ask the question of whether to sweep or not.
Sure enough, Jian Heng shook his head: "The smallest one at Catherine's is just this big, but don't worry, I'll order one right away, and everyone will use machines in the future, say goodbye to shovels, okay?"
"Then today's work still needs manpower?" Jian Zhenhua said.
Jian Heng said: "How about I send this thing back to others, how about you two sweep it together when I come back?"
"Forget it, wait for you!" Jian Zhenhua said to his son, and then walked towards the stable.
Grandpa Yao also smiled at Jian Heng, cursed cunningly, and followed Jian Zhenhua towards the stable.
Jian Heng returned the sweeper to Catherine. When he returned home, the two old men and Yang Bin had cleaned the stables almost, and the next step was to clean the horses. In this way, the four of them worked together for another two hours in a daze before they were almost done with all the work.
After breakfast at eight o'clock, Jian Zhenhua took Jian Heng and Yang Bin to start burning the paste, and put it right next to the door.
At noon, as long as it is a door, it will be affixed with prosperous door pairs. As long as it is a warehouse, you can see gold ten thousand taels on the wall, coupled with the red lanterns of the ranch, the festive atmosphere is suddenly strong. stand up.
While waiting for a big two hand-push sweepers to enter the door, then everyone will have more free time, and the atmosphere of the New Year will naturally become more lively.
