Chapter 45 Rodeo ([-])

Another evening, Ju An put away the fishing rod and drove home to pick up Wu Ming. On the way home, he heard Wu Ming mention that tomorrow is the last day of the tour group. Old Taylor and Anderson Thornton arranged for everyone. Go to Great Falls to see the rodeo.

After hearing the news, Ju An thought that she had not seen a real cowboy show, so she decided to go to the house and mobilize everyone to watch the cowboy show together.

While eating, Ju An said, "The tour group will be leaving the day after tomorrow, so tomorrow they decided to go to Great Falls to see the cowboy show. I thought about it, my parents, my sister, my brother-in-law, and Ran Ran and Tongtong are all I haven’t seen the cowboy show yet, so I will discuss with everyone, or I will go with the tour group tomorrow, and of course we will drive by ourselves.”

Dad and brother-in-law and sister are not a problem, not to mention the two little guys who love to play, almost even raised their little feet.The harmed Wu Song also stood up on the small bench, hooting, hooting twice, expressing his approval, but of course, he was ignored by Ju An flamboyantly.

Mom asked hesitantly, "How far is that Great Falls City?".

Ju An thought for a while and said, "About two hours, if you drive."

Mom waved her hand and said, "Go on, it's too far to drive for two hours, and it's too tiring for you to drive alone for two hours."

Dad was a little hesitant after hearing this.

Ju An had no choice but to say: "I don't have to drive all the time for two hours. I have to rest on the road. It's not too tired. Let's go together. It's so lively and lively."

Then Wu Ming also persuaded: "Auntie, let's go together, there are so many people, look, Ran Rantongtong really wants to go."He pointed to the four eyes looking at his mother with hope, and said.

Mom looked at the two small heads, and finally nodded in agreement, and the two little guys immediately cheered.

After having dinner happily, I just wanted to call Taylor, but the phone at home rang first.

Just picked up the phone and said, "Hello, I'm Ju An".

I heard old Taylor's voice: "Ann! Tomorrow we will take a tour group to see the cowboy show in Great Falls, and I want to ask if you are going. If you are going, let's go together. If you don't go, then we will bring Ran Ranhe Let's go, Jerry, these two little guys are listening by the side."

Ju An laughed and said, "I was about to call you and tell you that we will drive along with you."

Then I heard Taylor tell the two little guys that Ran Ran and Tongtong would also go, and then I heard the cheers of the two little guys. Now these four little guys are like conjoined babies, except for sleeping at night, The rest of the time is basically mixed together. With little Jerry and Emily's Chinese and Ran Ran and Tongtong's English are much better, maybe children are better at learning languages ​​than adults. There is basically no problem. What worries Ju An is that Ran Ran and Tongtong's English has a strong Montana accent, and serious domestic English learners may not understand what they say. Of course, Jerry and Ai Mi Li's Chinese also has the accent of Ju An's hometown. Fortunately, the accent of her hometown is relatively close to Mandarin, or Ju An will be scratching her head again.

Then I heard Taylor say in the microphone: "That's it, we will meet at the intersection at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning."

Ju An replied, "That's it, see you at seven tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Chong Ju'an got up at six o'clock. He had no choice but to do what he had to do. He took Wu Song to serve the bean grass and Xuehua, and then drove the two guys into the horses. No time to walk them today.

When they returned to the house, they saw that the whole family had been cleaned up, and Ran Ran and Tongtong had actually changed into a leather case, small riding boots, and a small cowboy hat. They were quite a little cowboy. , calf girl style.My parents and my sister-in-law also put on cowboy hats, plaid long-sleeved shirts, jeans, leather boots, and even Wu Ming. Everyone also got a pair of sunglasses with big buttons, a standard western cowboy dress.

The only regret is that Wu Song is wearing a small cowboy hat, but he is wearing a small basketball uniform. The clothes and trousers are matching. It's not going to watch basketball, and it doesn't match watching a cowboy show at all.

Seeing that everyone was in this outfit, Ju An went to the warehouse, drove out the GMC, and seated eight people. The two big bags that my mother and sister brought were put into the suitcase by Ju An.The five adults brought two little guys, and Ju An sat comfortably. After everyone got into the car, Ju An proudly looked in the rearview mirror: It's my brother, I have the foresight, so I changed it immediately. It's a big car, it's not spacious and spacious for everyone to sit up.

When we got to the intersection, I happened to see Taylor driving a big pickup truck with a trailer. After seeing Ju An's car, old Taylor honked his horn, and when everyone stopped the car, Jerry and Emily were hugged by Taylor. After getting down, the little guy ran towards Ju An's car as soon as he landed, opened the door, squeezed into the back seat, and sat with Ran Rantongtong.

Then Ju An started the car, followed Old Taylor's trailer, and drove towards Great Falls. There were very few cars along the way, and it took ten minutes to see a car.

Every time you meet a car, no matter if you don't know each other, everyone will wave and say hello.

Wu Ming said: "These foreigners are really enthusiastic."

Ju An replied with a smile: "If you drive on this road, you will be enthusiastic. It takes 10 minutes to see a car, so it's a matter of adjusting your mood."

After driving for two and a half hours with the big trailer, we finally arrived at the cowboy performance venue in Great Falls.

At the parking lot, I managed to find two seats, and they were parked separately. Old Taylor's car was parked in a large car parking lot. There were many pickup trucks with trailers. Some trailers were bigger than the one that transported cattle in Ju'an Ranch. The trailer is even bigger.

After the car was put away, a group of people walked mightily towards the entrance of the performance arena.

Ju An was very interested in those big trailers, so she asked Taylor: "These trailers are really good, bigger than the ones on my ranch."

Taylor replied: "The biggest ones are for the use of horses and horses for the competition." Pointing to some other slightly shorter cars, he said: "Those are the players who come to participate in the competition. There are people and horses in them."

Wu Ming asked: "They live in the car at night? Don't they go home?".

Taylor smiled and replied: "This kind of competition attracts many cowboys every year. The competition has points and bonuses for the annual championship, so some cowboys may have to drive for a few days to go from home to various places in the West. The competition is for points, so they all bring their own horses, live in the car, and go to the various competitions.”

Wu Ming said with emotion: "It's too hard to sleep in the car."

Taylor said: "It's okay, in fact, this kind of car is very comfortable, with a big bed, a restaurant, and a bathroom, just like a resort hotel."

Wu Mingcai said with emotion: "It turned out that I was living in vain, but this is much more comfortable. An Zi, you can also get one. Next time my brother comes over, we will try it."

Ju An glanced at this [-]: "If you have a house at home, don't sleep in the car, and the person who wants me to buy a car can't be shameless to your level."

Seeing a large group of people in front of them, and explaining the Thornton and Anderson from time to time, Wu Ming said: "Anderson and the others have really worked hard this time. The two girls we recruited can't get started yet. ".

Taylor said: "This is our job, we just do our best, the two Chinese girls have already helped a lot, their English is very good, communication depends on them, this time we will pass some equestrian clubs, There are also information about the ranch for them, so that combined with the activities of the past few days, they can get a better understanding. If there is a team with good equestrian skills in the future, we will arrange a two-day field riding camping, which will be more interesting."

When I got to the entrance, I saw a row of blue sheds next to it, which sold all kinds of drinks and small souvenirs. Taylor went to a blue ticket desk to buy tickets, Thornton and Anderson Then take a group of people to look around the booths, so that everyone has the opportunity to see what they like and buy them.

Ju An followed him for a while, but the souvenirs were interesting to these young IT elites, such as buckles, denim-carved purses, ladies' bags, denim dolls, etc. Everyone bought a lot of money.Ju An was not interested in these things, but made him observe that the little girls and boys who sold things were basically very young.Mention this to Wu Ming who is picking out a denim bag.

Wu Ming rolled his eyes: "Aren't you talking nonsense? When you buy something, you can find a big man with a big name and a big three. Can the business be good?"

Of course, the two of them spoke Chinese, and the little girl who sold the bags could not understand.

Ju An asked the little girl curiously, "Are you working part-time during summer vacation? I think the salespeople here are basically the same age as you."

The little girl replied, "No, we are volunteers. I am still in high school. I come to volunteer at this time of year every year. I have been doing it for three years."

Wu Ming then asked, "Are you all volunteers and no one pays a salary?".

The little girl then replied: "Everyone is the same, no salary".

Wu Ming took a fancy to a carved cowhide backpack in the little girl's booth. It was engraved with an eagle with wings spread. It was very beautiful. After paying the bill, he followed the large army.

More than [-] members, tied into small piles, were choosing things. The men were surrounded by booths with beautiful buckled denim belts, and the ladies were unusually welcome to some denim trinkets.

My father and my mother mixed with my elder sister, elder sister, husband and four little guys. They were looking at a purse-purchasing stall. When they got closer, the elder sister was looking at a brown purse with a carving on it. The kind of pattern with feathers on the heads of the Indians.
