Lisco's American Life

Zhang You got up early in the morning and ran around the pasture twice. When he felt that all the muscles and bones in his body had been stretched, he did a set of Tai Chi that he had learned in a domestic park, although this kind of Tai Chi was not considered

What kind of profound knowledge is there, it can only be a simplified version spread among the people, but after finishing the whole set, Zhang You still felt that all the energy in his body was mobilized, and even his whole body became very energetic.

.

Originally, Zhang You followed his previous work and rest habits and would report to the cowboy dormitory on time every morning, and then follow everyone to get variety shows to start grazing work. However, as winter came, the number of grazing trips gradually decreased, and most of the cattle

My diet has been met by green storage, and the entire ranch has become less busy, so I naturally feel more relaxed.

As soon as winter comes, almost all ranch employees are like this. It can be said that among the first few seasons of the year, only winter cowboys are the most relaxed and free. They only need to wait for the call of the person in charge at any time and do some other things at other times.

You can just do what you can do. You don't have to stick to your job all the time, and there are no tedious tasks that keep you busy from morning to night.

Generally, other cowboys would look for other handymen to spend the winter season in the past. Although there are basic wages for being on call in the ranch, no one would ever think that making money would be too much.

of.

However, as the salary standards of ranches have increased significantly in the past two years, people are too lazy to go out in this cold winter to do some work that is completely inconsistent with their abilities, and then receive very low wages.

Zhang You has been hanging out with this group of cowboys for a long time, and gradually his daily routine and work habits have become very similar to these people. If someone who doesn't know him stands in front of him and observes carefully, he will conclude that

The answer is that the other party is an out-and-out old Chinese cowboy, not a new immigrant who has just arrived from China for a year or two.

Zhang You has been busy some time ago, or helping the ranch repair the slightly worn fence. If there are any hazards in the ranch in winter that can be prevented, then the beasts that come down the mountain in search of food due to the shortage of food in winter are the top priority.

Maybe the ranchers who run ranches will have similar feelings and thoughts. As winter enters, the weather suddenly becomes colder. Many animals are also arranged by pet customs and enter a state of hibernation, and those carnivores cannot be found for a while.

When there is food to be found, they are naturally driven by hunger and rush from the mountain to the bottom.

And these hungry red-eyed beasts don't need to care about the deterrents people usually make for them. If the fences in some places are damaged and not repaired in time, they will follow the gap directly into the interior of the pasture and wreak havoc.

Everything in the pasture will also hurt the cattle and drag away the trophies, relying on this method of plunder to survive this cold winter period.

In order to avoid this situation this year, after considering the profit of the pasture throughout the year, David gritted his teeth and used some better quality fence materials. Tubular fences made entirely of steel were installed one after another on the pasture.

4 weeks can provide the safest protection and prevent such beasts from taking advantage of the situation.

In fact, during other periods of time, most other pastures will use fences made of wood for protection. Although the protective performance is somewhat different from those made of iron and steel, at least the cost is much lower, and it does not cost much to replace it once a year. Maintenance

The cost of repairing it is even lower.

But for David, sometimes time is the most precious thing. Spending too much time on repairing these fences seems to be too wasteful. After seeking Liske's opinion, he decisively

This kind of protection work is done by using a newly installed one. Although the cost of the steel one is much higher, at least it can be protected for five or six years after being installed once, and there is no need to repair and replace it too frequently.

As for which of the two materials is better, it can only be a matter of opinion. Small pastures are more suitable for wooden ones. In order to save time, effort and worry, steel ones may also be a better choice for large pastures.

After completing this kind of fence repair work, there was almost nothing busy at the ranch. Many cowboys had already entered a state of rest. David only left a few cowboys he trusted to serve as guards.

Except for dealing with some sudden emergencies, everyone else has entered a state of rest as much as possible.

As for Zhang You, there is no such thing as a holiday. Whenever he wants to help at the ranch, he can help. If he doesn't want to help, he can stop going at any time, because the other party's identity is here, and no one will do it.

I blame the other party harshly on things, firstly because of his age, and secondly because Zhang You has always been paid to do things but not to do them. Even if he was offered a salary, he would refuse.

Ever since Li Feng exposed Zhang You's ability to earn wages from the ranch and save some private money, his interest and pleasure in this job have become much lower. On the one hand, it is to kill his boring time, and on the other hand,

Because mosquitoes are also meat, although most of his salary has been collected by his wife, he can still earn a little bit of Weibo's profit. Generally speaking, Li Feng will not be too careful with these scattered changes.

To care too harshly.

It is said that wealth is the biggest motivation for people to become diligent. This is true for Zhang You. In the past, when all his wages were at his own disposal, he would not be much happier working every day. He has lost that mood now.

Anyway, it's just a matter of routine, like clocking in on time and going to the ranch to report. It doesn't matter if you can make some money or not, it doesn't have much impact on your life anyway.

To use a more fashionable word to describe it, Zhang You has now completely laid down. He has lost his thoughts and plans on whether he can make money. He is also familiar with the work of the ranch. Most of the time

I just simply want to chat with someone, or enjoy playing with everyone.

Originally, if there were no other arrangements, Zhang You would have thought of ways to make some money through other means during this period, or spent most of his time studying fishing, ice fishing and other fun things with the cowboys on the ranch, but his daughter

When the news of pregnancy suddenly came out, he couldn't be so slack. He needed to stay at home and do some work to the best of his ability, and at the same time help his wife so that she could worry less.
