Chapter 118
At half past six, it was still raining outside. There were rarely such heavy rains in August, which continued for several hours. According to Lu Xiancheng's estimate, many places in the city must have started flooding Jinshan or looking at the sea mode. Every day, the heavy rain in the stone city will do this.
Of course, this is nothing to do with Lu Xiancheng. After putting down the book in his hand, Lu Xiancheng asked his sister who was lying on the three-person chair with a bored look on her face: "Are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry! I just ate biscuits." The little girl said boredly without even turning around.
Lu Xiancheng saw that a box of biscuits had already reached the bottom.
"Even if you are not hungry, I will help me cook!" Lu Xiancheng walked to his sister and reached out to pick up the little girl from the chair.
The little girl immediately started to act slut, her body leaning on the bench as if she had no bones, and she laughed as Lu Xiancheng raised herself.
"Get up, help me to fire. Let's have some light scrambled eggs with cucumbers tonight! {No +" Lu Xiancheng reached out and rubbed his sister's head.
After saying that, Lu Xiancheng raised his foot to the door, picked up the umbrella beside the door and walked into the rain. He went to the vegetable garden and picked two or three cucumbers to the kitchen and found a problem. There was no egg in the kitchen, not only no eggs, but also no firewood. The firewood placed in the yard is obviously impossible to burn now, and it is so wet and burnt.
In the end, I had to wash the cucumber and put it on my mouth and chew it on.
Lu Muzhi walked to the kitchen and saw that Lu Xiancheng had already eaten, so she asked, "Didn't you say scrambled eggs?"
"What can I do if I don't have eggs at home?" Lu Xiancheng said awkwardly.
"Then eat this for dinner, do you want to lose weight?"
"Call me a call to eat in front later. At this time, those guys probably haven't eaten yet," said Lu Xiancheng.
Lu Muzhi turned around and returned to the living room without saying a word.
After Lu Xiancheng finished gnawing a cucumber, the brother and sister put on umbrellas and put on rain boots and walked towards the ranch in front.
The ranch has changed a lot now from before, and the sheds of the training farm have been built and powered up.
The simple stable has been built, all the horses have their own small compartments, and the accommodation of the employees is much better than before. At least the large bungalow of two people is much more convenient and comfortable than before.
Now we have a regular canteen for dinner, and we hired a chef from a regular chef school. Although we are not a special chef, we don’t even have any certificates, but the home-cooked dishes are still very authentic.
"boss!"
As soon as Lu Xiancheng lifted his foot into the cafeteria, he found that almost everyone was there. When everyone saw Lu Xiancheng, they immediately said hello.
"Where are you playing cards?" Lu Xiancheng smiled and responded to everyone, then shouted to the kitchen: "Master Ma, my sister and I are here to eat today, so you can increase the amount of food!"
"Okay!"
With a cheerful echo coming from the kitchen, Lu Xiancheng stood by the table and watched the group of people playing cards.
When Lu Yao saw Lu Xiancheng coming, he wanted to stand up and give this position to his boss, but as soon as he stood up, Lu Xiancheng pressed him back: "I can't play cards, you guys can play, I'll just take a look."
As he was talking, he felt that the cell phone in his pocket ring. He took it out and saw that it was Ou Zhen's call, so he pointed at everyone and signaled his phone to answer the phone.
Standing under the eaves, Lu Xiancheng answered the phone call, which was called by Ou Zhen. She didn't chat with Lu Xiancheng now and said that it was nothing more than a translation matter. She translated a part of it and wanted to hand it over to Lu Xiancheng. Lu Xiancheng had nothing to do with her and made an appointment with her to pick it up tomorrow afternoon, and then hung up the phone.
When I went back to the house, I found that my little sister had already sat at the table and started playing cards with a group of big men.
Lu Xiancheng had no big preference for the entertainment of playing cards. He turned his head and looked around and found a problem. Lu Yao only brought his daughter, the fat Lu Mei.
Now the little fat girl is sitting at the kitchen door, holding a small basin, which looks like it is a rib or something. The little girl is sitting honestly and eating with relish. The fat girl is there, but she hasn't seen her mother, and it's so raining outside, which is a bit strange.
In front of so many people, Lu Xiancheng didn't have the nerve to ask more questions. After a while, he looked at Li Gangui's time to go to the toilet. Lu Xiancheng robbed the man.
"Gangui, why didn't Brother Lu Yao's sister-in-law come with me?"
Li Gangui said: "You don't know yet, Brother Lu Yao is divorced."
"What?" Lu Xiancheng immediately opened his eyes widened after hearing this. Old Lu could understand that he had divorced in his previous life. Can Lu Yao make money? He was still divorced in this life. Is this due to the inertia of history?
Li Gangui said, "We don't know the reason, and Brother Lu Yao didn't say it, we dare not ask." After that, he looked around and approached Lu Xiancheng: "I heard that my sister-in-law was not clear about the people outside, Brother Lu Yao filed for divorce."
"Oh!" Lu Xiancheng nodded, then reached out and patted Li Gangui on the back: "Go in and play cards. If Brother Lu Yao doesn't like others to mention this, don't mention it."
Lu Xiancheng is not very interested in exploring other people's **, and no one can help with such emotional matters.
Waiting for Li Gangui to arrive at the door, Lu Xiancheng remembered another thing: "Where were those Hanovers placed?"
"Stable No. 4 is next to the gelding stable. If you want to go, I will take you there." As Li Gangui said, he casually picked up an umbrella next to the door.
"Let's go and have a look!" Lu Xiancheng said.
The two walked to the stables in the rain. The simple stables were not the type of double-row horse seats facing each other, but the double-row butts facing each other. The back wall was shared by the two stables. A two-meter eaves were picked out in front, which was just enough to protect the sun and rain. Now there is a mesh bag between each stable, which contains dry grass.
There is also a large iron bucket next to each stable, which usually contains oats. As for carrots and other things, the horse farm is even more ready.
Lu Xiancheng walked all the way and occasionally reached out to touch one or two dry material bags piled beside him, which were square bags made of hay, and reached in to try whether the grass and oats were damp or not. Although Lu Xiancheng is not as good as an old rancher, Lu Xiancheng at least has this awareness.
Looking at Lu Xiancheng's appearance, Li Gangui said half-jokingly: "Boss, don't worry, we serve these horses like their own fathers. Manager Wei said we should be attentive."
Lu Xiancheng smiled and patted the grass clippings on his hand and said, "It's good!"
After walking around the stable, Lu Xiancheng was already very satisfied. Although you can see two or three pieces of horse cakes from time to time in the stable, the flaws do not cover up the jade. Although the whole stable is simple, everything looks orderly, and even the iron buckets at the door are almost the same.
Li Gangui looked at the boss's face and asked, "Listen to Brother Lu Yao, I'm going to start the countryside ranch soon? When will we move?"
After hearing Li Gangui's question, Lu Xiancheng knew that these young men must have no interest in moving from Shicheng to the countryside. Although they are now in the countryside of Shicheng, the locations of the same countryside are different. It is a pity to go to the provincial capital forty minutes and four hours to go to the provincial capital.
"If it's fast, it's mid-morning. If it's slow, it's going to be the next year. The whole body depends on the condition of the forage. If the forage there becomes the forage here, we don't have to spend money to import the forage here," said Lu Xiancheng.
"Yes, if only we could grow oats, we would have liked it," said Li Gangui.
Nowadays, except for carrots and other things not imported, the big hay and oats consumed every day are all imported. Moreover, small ranches like Lu Xiancheng are small in consumption without any discounts. In a month, each horse will cost several thousand dollars.
"Oats are of course grown, but these are all later stories." Lu Xiancheng said and walked to a black Hannover.
There is nothing special about this Hanover. What's special is that there is a pure black pony in her stable, with only a four-pointed white star between the eyebrows.
The little guy looks quite strange. His four legs are very long, his tail is short, and his head is very big, which looks very funny.
This was the first foal at Luxian City Ranch. It was only less than a week since it was born.
"Is this one?" As Lu Xiancheng spoke, the little guy had already approached the door of the stable, stretched his nose and looked up at Lu Xiancheng.
"Yes!" Li Gangui said: "I will definitely be a beautiful tall horse from now on."
It was the first time Lu Xiancheng saw a little foal, and this little guy was not afraid of people at all. He leaned into his big nostril and squirted at Lu Xiancheng. A warm air reached Lu Xiancheng's hands.
After bent down, Lu Xiancheng saw the little croaker under the foal and smiled and said, "The first stallion on our horse farm!"
Lu Xiancheng was still preparing to stay for a while, but the phone rang for dinner, so he had to put down the little Majuer and Li Gangui and returned to the cafeteria together.
After finishing her meal in the cafeteria, Lu Xiaomei was unwilling to go back to the dead courtyard, and the employees could not always play cards with her. Everyone still had work.
Lu Xiancheng had no choice but to prepare a horse and take her sister to the training ground to let her ride around the horse. Who would have a little girl who was addicted to the training class and kept going until ten o'clock. Lu Xiancheng spent a lot of effort to coax her sister back to the yard.
The brother and sister who returned to the courtyard each opened a small cool bed with a tent hanging on it, and a thin blanket was placed directly at the entrance of the living room. After opening the door, the cool air directly poured into the room. In a few minutes, the two fell asleep one after another.
I don’t know how long I had been sleeping, but Lu Xiancheng heard something in the yard that seemed to be moving. He opened his eyes and turned up from the bed, stood at the door of the house, looked at the yard with his slippers.
Two little gray and black shadows were moving more than one meter away. If they were standing on the concrete floor in the courtyard, Lu Xiancheng thought they were two big stones.
At the door of the house, Lu Xiancheng lowered his head and saw Erha sitting on the ground, stretching his head to look at the two "stones" in the yard, and seeing that he came out, he waved his tail twice to show his welcome.
As soon as he woke up, Lu Xiancheng's mind was a little confused, and he couldn't reflect what he saw. He was waiting to see Erha's guy with a dog face and a tail, and a message popped up in his mind. Among the two black shadows in the yard, one of his own chicken was his.
What is the other one?
Just as Lu Xiancheng was thinking about this problem, the moon in the sky poked its head out of the dark clouds, and the silver moonlight once again sprinkled on the earth.
Lu Xiancheng also saw clearly what was confronting his only chicken, it was the weasel!
This thing is now stretching its neck to look at it, with its little head circling between itself and the chicken. Under the moonlight, Lu Xiancheng can see its scathing little eyes.
Although Lu Xiancheng is in the county town, he still knows that he can't see things clearly at night or has night blindness. However, the chicken in his home is now confronting his natural enemy weasel in the yard, which is a bit beyond Lu Xiancheng's expectations.
For a moment, Lao Lu's mind became a little bad again.
The weasel looked at it for a while and seemed to think that Lu Xiancheng was just like Erha who was watching the show, so he started to deal with the little rooster again. He turned around the little rooster and looked for an opportunity to attack.
The chick didn't move, just half spread her wings, and all the hair on her neck exploded.
As the weasel pounced on it, the chicken actually waved its wings and kicked its legs to avoid the attack in a posture that almost made Lao Lu's surprise. Then it pecked at the weasel.
In the whole flash, the prey and natural enemies completed the exchange of fire, and the little rooster seemed to have not been completely inferior!
"Ke Zhenye?!" Lu Xiancheng looked at the chick under the moonlight and thought for a long time and muttered three words. (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
