Alpine pasture

Chapter 26 Arrived Home

Arriving at Lewistown Airport, as soon as I got out of the station, I saw Thomas coming to pick him up with a cowboy with a golden beard on his face.

Ju An walked over quickly and hugged Thomas.

"This is my eldest son, Andrew." After old Thomas introduced, Ju An shook hands with Andrew and introduced: "This is my parents, sister, and two nephews and nieces. Sorry, their English is not very good. ".To say what kind of niece is this foreigner, the niece is just one word, it's really hard to distinguish.

Then, Ju An took the family out of the airport, split into two cars, and drove to the ranch.Tongtong loves to make big carts, her sister and brother-in-law took Tongtong and Ranran in a 450 driven by Andrew, and Ju An and her parents led the way in a 150 driven by Thomas.

"How many cows have you sent, is the pasture okay?" Ju An asked.

Thomas said: "More than half of the cows have been delivered. It is estimated that the last batch will be delivered in two days. Everything in the pasture is good. Most of these batches are half-sized heifers, and the fastest profit is achieved. Two more years."

Ju An said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, it's not a problem if the time is a little slower. You may have to buy more cows in the future. In addition, there will be eight cattle dogs coming over some time later. Can you take care of these more cows?" .

No wonder it takes a hundred lies to keep people telling a lie. Now the eight little guys are staying in the wooden beads hanging around Ju An's neck, and they can't take them out immediately. It will take time to pass the quarantine.Forget it, wait a few days, just let these little guys grow up and come out just in time to work.

"Come on, I'm arranging for Wynn, Andrew and I to take care of the cattle. Nancy is mainly in charge of the horses and sheep. There is basically no water diversion. The trouble of irrigation saves a lot of manpower, and the horses are also sent. Come here, this time there are thirteen horses, three three-year-old male horses, the remaining seven are mares, and three are geldings, and three batches of male horses are temporarily in the ranch for sex."Thomas nodded back.

"In addition, I would like to ask, how many tourists are there in the nearby ranches. A friend of mine wants to set up a travel company to specialize in ranching tours. What is the approximate price?" asked Ju An.

Thomas thought for a while: "There are many tourist ranches nearby. I heard that Chinese tourists are usually on the west bank. There is no way, as long as you fly across the Pacific Ocean, there are usually more people from the east. In fact, ranch tourism is the most popular. The best season is July and August. The weather in Montana is the best, only over 20 degrees, and it will be about ten degrees below zero in winter. Of course, you can also see snow in winter, skiing, horse-drawn sleigh, whatever Playing, but there is more work on the ranch in winter, which is to feed the cows and horses. At this time, the ranch receiving guests is much less. The price is generally around [-] US dollars per day, which includes food and housing costs. I don’t know the details. Clear, but the Taylor family are tourists, you can ask."

Ju An nodded and said, "Just in time, I'll invite Taylor and the last Anderson family over for dinner tonight, let's have a barbecue, and ask at that time."

Thomas said: "Actually, our ranch is recruiting a cowboy who teaches horseback riding, so we can do tourist business, but it is difficult for those who can speak Chinese."

Ju An waved his hand: "For the time being, I have no plans to be a tourist."

Thomas shrugged when he heard this.

Arrived at the ranch and got out of the car.Parking the car at the door, the family got out of the car one by one.

Tongtong immediately ran to Ju An, grabbed Ju An's trousers and said, "Uncle, uncle, where's the lamb, where's the calf".

Ju An had to bend down and twist Tongtong's little face: "Let's go to Tongtong's room first, okay? We'll see the lamb and calf later."

Thomas helped with the luggage, drove the car to the garage, and notified Taylor and the Andersons to come over for a barbecue dinner that night.Andrew went back to help Wynn take care of the cattle.

After picking up the luggage and taking a large family into the small building, my sister praised it again: "Well, the scenery is good, and the house is not bad."

Ju An smiled: "Everyone lives upstairs, go and put things in, just take a shower and change your clothes, remember sister, don't wear skirts, everyone should wear jeans, and boots are ready for you. I'll get it later."

The luggage was mentioned upstairs, and three rooms were arranged, one for parents, one for sister-in-law, and one for Tongtong and Ranran. Just after they were divided, Tongtong called out: "Look, little one. squirrel".

Fatty pointed out the window, and sure enough, a little squirrel was standing on the branch, looking at the group of people here.

"Tongtong saw the little squirrel as soon as she came, it's really good," Ju An said, rubbing her little head.

"My brother saw it first, and then let me see it," Tongtong said.

Ju An looked at it, and said Ran Ran a little shyly, "Well, Ran Ran is not bad."

In the end, Tongtong asked for a room where the squirrels could be seen, so the two little guys had to change to a room with a window on the east side. This time, the family happened to live in the same line.

After allocating these, Ju An went back to her room, took a shower and changed her clothes. After getting off the plane all the way, she was really exhausted.

When Ju An finished taking a shower and just changed her clothes, she heard a knock on the door, and her mother's voice came from outside: "Third son, where is the kitchen, I'm going to make lunch with my sister."

I took my mother and sister to the kitchen downstairs, told them where the rice was, and then took the two of them to see their vegetable garden.When they went out, they put on new high-top riding boots.

Let my mother and sister pick vegetables in the vegetable garden.Ju An sneaked back to the house first, preparing to go to the nap party.

I went to the upstairs room to inspect the room. Dad and brother-in-law had finished taking a shower, and were finishing their clothes. They opened the little guy's room and saw Tongtong and Ran Ran lying on the window and looking at the little squirrel, whispering while watching. .

Ignoring the two little guys, he went back to the house by himself, took a nap with his head covered, and didn't get up until he heard his mother calling for dinner.

After lunch, I took my family around first.

When they went out, everyone put on riding boots, and put on the little boots and leather chaps that Ju An bought specially for the two little guys. There are three big white stars on the trouser legs. There is a silver button in the middle of each white star. The white leather tassels are buttoned on the buttons. It’s a lot of money, these two chaps are about to catch up with the three adults, and the two little guys immediately look brand new, with a small cowboy hat and a silver belt buckle for each, and the image immediately rises by a few percentage points.

"Ran Ran and Tongtong are so beautiful, thank you, uncle," my sister praised beside her.

Tongtong and Ran Ran immediately thanked their uncle, and Ran Ran laughed happily, revealing a small tooth.

Going to the warehouse, let the father, brother-in-law, and sister each drive a four-wheeled motorcycle. Dad takes Ran Ran, brother-in-law takes Tongtong, and sister is responsible for taking mother. After the distribution is completed.

Ju An walked out of the warehouse and whistled to the horses not far away, and the two guys, Dou Cao and Xue Hua, ran over immediately.Then Ju An was rubbed by the two big heads and stepped back a few steps. She was too enthusiastic. The two carrots were not fed for nothing every day. Ju An hugged the two heads and kissed them fiercely.

"Da Ma! Da Ma!" Tongtong wanted to run over immediately, but fortunately her brother-in-law hugged her.

After preparing a saddle for Doucao, Tongtong insisted on riding with Ju An. Although Ran Ran didn't say anything, she looked at Ju An with expectant eyes, obviously also wanting to ride a horse.

In this way, Ju An had no choice but to put the two little guys in front of them, with Tongtong sitting at the front and Ran Ran sitting in the middle. Ju An's poor buttocks only fell on the saddle, and the second half fell on the rear bridge. It was very uncomfortable, but the two little guys were very happy.

"Grandpa and Dad are so short, they just reached the ankles of Tongtong and my brother," Tongtong said triumphantly, following his brother behind.

Then he patted the bean grass on the neck and said, "Da Ma, Da Ma, hurry up, someone else will catch him."

When the little girl took such a shot, Dou Cao thought it was Ju An who gave an order, and immediately trotted.

After running for a while, Ju An reined in the reins and slowed down the bean grass. Why, it was too uncomfortable to have two little guys sitting on it.

Fortunately, the place where Wynn and the others herd their cattle is not too far away, and they arrived in about ten minutes. There are more than 2000 cattle, which look much more spectacular.At this time, Wynn and Andrew also rode over.

Wynn looked at the two little guys in front of Ju An and said with a smile, "Why, the little guys are crowding on your horse."

Ju An shrugged: "I'm the only one who can ride a horse, I can't help it."

At this time, Wynn smiled at the two little guys and said, "My name is Wynn, nice to meet you." He spoke slowly and tried not to have a local Montana accent.

The two little guys actually understood, Tongtong nodded his head: "My name is Tongtong" and pointed to the elder brother behind and said, "Ran Ran".

Wynn went on to say, "Can I invite you to ride with me, beautiful girl."

Tongtong was dumbfounded and couldn't understand this sentence. Seeing her anxiously scratching her ears and cheeks, Ju An said to her, "Uncle Wynn will take you on a big horse." After thinking about it, he said to Tongtong, "Wynn Uncle's horse runs very fast, much faster than uncle's, should Tongtong go for a ride?"

After thinking about it for a while, Tongtong nodded.

Then, Ju An crossed Tongtong from the horse's back and handed it to Wynn. Wynn took it and put it in front of the saddle, let Tongtong grab the head of the pile, and urged the horse to trot.After a while, there was giggling laughter.

At this time, Ran Ran also looked at Ju An and said, "Second Master, let's go after Tongtong too".

Ju An shook the reins lightly, and Dou Cao rushed out immediately. After a while, he caught up with Wynn and Tongtong. When they approached, Ju An slowed down the horse's speed, making Dou Cao faster than Wynn's. The horse slowed down by half, and the bean grass was obviously dissatisfied, and kept snorting a few times.
