Little Life on An American Ranch

  Chapter 541 Cutting Trees

The next day, the families spent almost the whole day soaking in the lake. Not only the guests from these three families, some students also joined in this time, and they played until the evening. When the families left, they took away the wild blueberries Each family only weighs one or two catties, which is not even a drop in the bucket compared to the blueberry trees around the lake.

Wu Yong's family left, and when all the students came back before the end of the week, soaking in the lake became a new game of course. During the two-hour break at noon, a group of students just soaked in the lake. , Soaked until Mr. tlr started the class, these big names in Hollywood climbed out of the lake, changed their wet swimsuits into clean gray robes, and went to the meditation class.

With someone to play with, Pooh and Instant Noodles are naturally happy. As for whether Xie Li is happy, I don’t know. Anyway, Yinli stopped showing up after two or three days. Jian Heng knows that Yinli is a bit annoying to these famous Hollywood stars. .

Simon's fattening plan is advancing steadily. After a few days of adaptation, Simon's body is slowly showing a sense of plumpness. This plumpness does not reduce Simon's handsomeness, but adds a kind of It's a special taste. Only then did Jian Lan believe that even if some people are fat, they are shamelessly handsome and fat!

  The only thing that is bothering me now is the circle of blueberries around the lake. This thing can only be eaten by myself. If it is given away, this season, apart from the new ones, there will be no wild blueberries in these four weeks.

  Balley pushed open the door angrily and walked into the house, cursing loudly while walking, curse words that the whole world can understand.

  Jian Heng asked curiously: "What's the matter, you lost your temper so much when you came back to the house? Who provoked you again?"

Mai Mai who followed was very happy: "When she was walking, a bird dropping fell on her head, she turned around and went back to wash it, but who knew that another bird flew over her head, so she had to Put his head in the lake again."

  Barley said: "Too many birds!"

Jian Heng knew about this. There are many berries around the lake, not to mention wild blueberry trees. The blueberry trees planted in ordinary orchards are not as prosperous as the berries grown in Jian Heng’s house. If there are too many fruits and no one eats them, it will naturally attract some guys who eat and drink, like some small wild animals, not to mention, it has no effect on human life, but this bird has many It's really annoying.

  More birds should be a good thing, but if there are too many, it will be troublesome, maybe a bubble of bird droppings will fall on your head. These days, not only Damai has suffered many times, but even Jian Heng has been hit several times.

   "Do you want to bring the golden eagle over to scare it?" Jian Heng said.

  Wheat rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said to Jian Heng: "Aside from a place to eat, how has your golden eagle ever done anything serious?"

Jian Heng said seriously: "First of all, let me correct you, it is not my golden eagle, it can belong to Jialiang, or Zhao Changshan, the only way it can't be mine! How could I raise such a golden eagle? Here comes the trash!"

The golden eagle is not fat anymore, but it is not fat. The golden eagle that has lost weight does not often go to the sky now. It seems that the body has lost weight, but the lazy tendons on the body still remain. It can walk every day and never fly. Those who can stand will never walk, and those who can lie down will never stand. As long as there are no other raptors in the sky, it will not return to the sky. It will also choose to wait and see.

Even the birds of prey are like this, not to mention these little birds and sparrows. When Jian Heng yelled, it would fly lazily once. At the beginning, all the birds were scattered and fled. After this guy became a good-looking guy, the birds will naturally not be afraid of it. Not only are they not afraid of it, but some silly and bold birds will get some tooth offerings from its bowl from time to time, steal a piece of shredded meat or something to satisfy their hunger .

   It's just such a thing, if Xiaomai can see it, then something is wrong.

   "Then what to do?"

  Barley said: "Sell it!"

"Sell?" Jian Heng smiled wryly after hearing this: "It's not worth the money. We haven't applied for a license here. If you want to sell it, you have to apply for the license first, and then you have to contact the person to pick it." , and finally have to contact sales, how many things have you thought about waiting for us after this set?"

Here in the United States, selling an agricultural product is not just a simple way to sell it at a roadside stand. You have to have a license before you can sell it. If you don’t have a license, you can only eat it yourself and give it away. Once you don’t have a license If you are caught selling certificates, you will feel that Americans are particularly fond of making a fuss.

  Jian Heng doesn't want to challenge the laws of the United States openly. What you do is just looking for something to do, and you don't feel happy if you don't go to the bureau for two days.

  Wheat asked: "Then what should I do? You can't wear a hat every day when you go out, right? Even if you wear a hat, you have to change your hat every day."

"What should we do? Cut it off, what else can we do! It's almost grown around the lake, we only leave a dozen or so plants, blueberries and blackberries in total, enough for us to eat, let's cut the rest. , and now I just throw it into the lake to feed the fish," Jian Heng said ruthlessly.

  "Cut it off?" Damai had never thought about it before, but when he heard that Jian Heng planned to cut down the tree, he suddenly felt a little bit reluctant, frowned and began to think about it.

  After thinking for a while, he raised his head and said, "Is there no other way?"

"Or it could be grafted into other fruits, but if you have the time, it's better to cut it down, save trouble, and you can plant some other things in the vacated land, such as bamboo, reeds, etc." Jian Heng was just saying that casually at first. As soon as I mentioned it, it turned out that I suddenly wanted to cut down the blueberry tree.

  Mait was annoyed by bird droppings. Seeing that the two were silent, he said loudly: "Cut down trees, cut down trees! As long as there are not so many birds!"

  Barley made up his mind after hearing this: "Cut it!"

  Jian Heng immediately stood up from the sofa when he heard it.

  "What are you going to do?"

   "It's not too late, cut down the tree!" Jian Heng said.

  Barley and Wheat said: "What time is it now, what kind of tree was cut, let's cut after eating."

When Jian Heng heard this, he immediately sat back on the sofa. The so-called tree-cutting was just for putting on airs. If there were two tigers, Jian Heng needed to cut down the trees by hand, and he would just send the two tigers out. All the blueberries have been eaten, and Jian Heng just put on a show.

  Balley and Wheat entered the room and sat next to Jian Heng. Soon he felt that the TV was meaningless, so he snatched the remote control and switched to his favorite TV program.

  Jian Heng watched for a while but couldn't bear the aesthetic taste of the two women, so he turned around and entered the kitchen under the pretext of cooking.

  After the meal, Barley and Wheat went to digest food, while Jian Heng went to the warehouse and drove a tractor, and he still had a shovel in front.

Driving the tractor to the lake, it attracted the attention of many people along the way. The afternoon class is the meditation of Mr. Yao, so now the students are not trained to be as dead as they used to be. Now they Still have energy, time to go to the gym, or ride a horse for a walk in the ranch.

  Seeing Jian Heng driving a tractor, he opened his mouth to ask a question. When Jian Heng said that he was going to shovel the blueberry trees by the lake, many people agreed with him. It can be seen how far these people have been persecuted by the birds.

  Some people applauded the tree shoveling, but there was no one to help. Only Jian Heng drove the tractor to the lakeside alone, and began to use the shovel on the head of the tractor to shovel towards the roots of the blueberries.

  The small blueberry tree is no match for the tractor's shovel head. Wherever the shovel head went, the blueberry trees fell one after another. After a while, they were cleared out by Jian Heng.

While waiting for the sun to set, Jian Heng pretended to drive for two or three hours, and then he recruited Erhu and showed him which piece of blueberry tree he could eat and which piece of blueberry tree Can't eat.

After the order was finished, Jian Heng let Erhu go, and Erhu rushed to the side of the blueberry tree that had been laid down on the ground and gnawed, Jian Heng could hear what Erhu said in his mouth. The crackling sound of chewing twigs.

Went back home and had a peaceful sleep. When he got up the next morning, Jian Heng found out that it was broken. He didn't know if Erhu took it easy or didn't understand what he meant. This guy ate up all the blueberry trees. There were only a dozen or so blackberries standing alone on the shore.

  "..." Jian Heng is a little speechless now.

(Ps: I woke up with a toothache in the morning, and I couldn’t bear it at noon. Half of my face twitched due to the toothache. I went to the hospital in the afternoon. I’m afraid the chapter in the evening will be worse. I’ll make it up for everyone in two days. I’m sorry Everyone!)
