Little Life on An American Ranch

  Chapter 397 Fat Paper Gold Sculpture

In the next few days, Jian Heng was coordinating with Daniel's preparations for the prosecution, and had no time to take care of the coming Lunar New Year, so the task of buying some New Year's goods fell to his mother Sun Xiuying and sister Jian Anan. Barley and Wheat acted as the driver for the two of them.

Now the family has their own division of labor. Sun Xiuying and Jian Anan are in charge of the logistics and kitchen. Jian Zhenhua and her son-in-law Yang Bin are the cowboys of yesterday. The happiest people are Yang Xiaoan and Jian Ningning, the two uncles and nephews. Yes, I play with my two calves every day after eating, until lunch, and after taking a small nap in the afternoon, continue to play until night.

  Jian Heng finished his errands today and returned home. The car was loaded with some things for the Spring Festival brought by Wu Yong.

Not all of these things were prepared by Wu Yong. Many of them were left over from Zuo Tong’s fight for He Ye. Don’t mention it, there are quite a lot of leftovers. There are more than thirty red lanterns alone, isn’t it? That kind of fake look that won't be used a few times is all made of fine red yarn covered on the bamboo bones.

The bamboo bones are not that simple either, each one is polished thin bamboo, cross-woven, forming countless hexagonal grids the size of a palm, where several large grids meet is a triangle, and then covered The upper layer of red yarn is very beautiful.

  In addition to lanterns, there are also some New Year’s goods, such as Jinhua’s ham, Shaoxing’s fermented bean curd, daughter’s red wine, and even two or three jars of jellyfish heads. Anyway, the trucks are full of these things.

  Getting out of the car, Jian Heng was about to call for someone to come over to carry things, when he saw his little nephew Yang Xiaoan walking over, wiping his nose and dropping golden beans.

   "Hey, what's the matter, what kind of golden beans are dropped so well?" Jian Heng took two steps, squatted down and stopped the little guy.

  Yang Xiaoan was sobbing, and said while sobbing: "I will never play with Po Ningning again!"

Jian Heng could imagine that the little nephew of Yang Xiao's family was extremely depressed. Generally speaking, nephews would take advantage of meeting aunts, but the aunt Yang Xiaoan met was not only about the same age as him, but also a aunt. He has a bad temper, so the boy who has never been beaten by his parents since he was a child has been taught by his aunt a lot.

   "You are a little boy, why should you be as knowledgeable as your aunt!" Jian Heng stretched out his hand to help the little guy wipe away his tears and laughed.

In fact, Jian Heng doesn't quite agree with his sister's education of the child. A good little boy is educated like a girl, a bit quiet, and doesn't have the naughty energy that a boy should have. On the contrary, his own sister is full of naughty energy. No matter how you look at it, he is a full-fledged tomboy. With this temperament, he will definitely not be bullied by others in the society.

  Xiao An was a little unhappy: "She is an aunt!"

   "But she's a girl." Jian Heng's words directly involved Yang Xiaoan again.

  Seeing the appearance of this silly boy, Jian Heng sighed in his heart: Oh, this boy is hopeless, he has been repeating this sentence since he was a child and still hasn't come out of it!

   Just when Jian Heng wanted to say something to comfort his little nephew, Ning Ning's voice suddenly came: "Xiao An, come quickly, I'll catch the eagle for you!"

  When Yang Xiaoan heard that his aunt had caught the eagle for him, he immediately broke into a smile, with tears still on his face, and he was already in full bloom: "Really, don't lie to me!"

   "When did I ever lie to you!" Ning Ning's voice came over.

  Hearing what her aunt said, Yang Xiaoan immediately twisted her body, pulled her two arms out of uncle Jian Heng's hand, and ran towards the direction where Ning Ning's voice came from.

  Jian Heng stood up from the ground, saw his nephew who had disappeared around the corner of the house, heaved a sigh, and shook his head. Just as he was about to walk back, he suddenly remembered that he had heard Ning Ning say something about an eagle. He was afraid that the two children would be injured, so Jian Heng followed with strides.

The place where the two children play is not far from the house, at best it is about fifty meters away. Besides the two children, there are Pooh and instant noodles, and the golden eagle who has been eating and drinking in the pasture .

   When Jian Heng approached the two children, he heard Yang Xiaoan still sighing.

   "Wow, this eagle is so big, it's almost as tall as me."

   "Of course, this is raised by my brother's family" Ning Ning said proudly, she was too busy to show off at this time and forgot that her brother was also Yang Xiaoan's uncle.

   After Jian Heng saw the golden eagle, he lost interest in watching it any longer. Now the golden eagle is like a chicken in the pasture.

   To put it even worse, even if it is a local chicken at home, it has to dig the soil twice a day to find something to eat from the snow.

  What about this guy?

  The whole thing is to live like a pig, eat and sleep when you are full, and eat when you are full, and finally developed to the present, the whole is a chubby.

  The only thing that can be sold is that this product looks very big. It turns out that this product is not small, and now it is two times bigger than before. And because of the excess nutrition, the hair on the body began to ooze oil. Sufficient nutrition makes its feathers look quite beautiful, and the whole feathers seem to have a layer of light under the sun's rays.

  The golden eagles in the wild are not like this. The feathers are gray and a bit inconspicuous. Even some yellow feathers on the head and wings are also gray.

  Based on the appearance, this guy can really be regarded as tall and handsome, but it is a pity that in the eyes of the old hunter, such a golden eagle will be useless immediately.

  Will Jian Heng think about it? That's definitely not the case, so the golden eagle in the ranch is almost a waste.

Not only Jian Heng, but also Zhao Changshan and others call this golden eagle Fatty, and they usually don’t see it flying at all, and they sleep after eating meat. Fortunately, this guy is not picky eater so far, he eats whatever he gives, It is especially good at deboning. It can make a large leg mouth smooth. In Zhao Changshan's exaggerated statement, it can gnaw the surface of the bone until it is oily.

  In short, the current specialty of this product is one word: eat!

Seeing the golden eagle playing with the two children, Jian Heng didn't worry at all. With Pooh beside him, the golden eagle couldn't hurt the two children, and he didn't dare to hurt the two children. Although Pooh is still young, his size is starting to grow Yes, now everyone calls it Little Bear, but it actually weighs several dozen catties. If it is really angry, such a big bear can mess with people.

   Just as Jian Heng was about to leave, there was a sudden cry of an eagle in the sky.

   Phew!

  A resounding cry of an eagle resounded through the sky, which was soul-stirring! It was as if piercing Yunxiao.

   Just as Jian Heng raised his head, he saw a sturdy eagle hovering directly above him. It seemed that it either took a fancy to Bizi on the ground, or the instant noodles leaning against Pooh.

  Based on Jian Heng’s guess, nine out of ten are instant noodles, because among all the people and animals present, only this one looks the smallest and the easiest to catch.

Thinking of instant noodles, Jian Heng looked down at the instant noodles, and saw that this guy didn't look panicked at all, just like Pooh, Ningning and Yang Xiaoan, looking up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, a little black hand He kept taking things from the small bag Ning Ning was carrying behind him, and put them in his mouth.

If it is the usual situation, when a raccoon sees such a big bird of prey, it must find a place to run, but Instant Noodles is also a raccoon who has seen a big scene now. Don't take it seriously.

  Because it is determined in its heart that as long as it is caught, the backer next to it only needs a paw, and it will teach it to be a human being, oh no! It is to be a bird.

   Phew!

Without waiting for the instant noodles to look forward to the bird above the head, the fat golden eagle who was being embraced by Xiao An became unhappy. After a long cry to the sky, he broke free from Xiao An's hand and flapped his wings to prepare to rush into Yunxiao. He seemed to want to compete with this foreigner who invaded his territory.

  Seeing Fatty's movements, the two children naturally knew what it was going to do, and immediately began to pump their fists to encourage it.

"come on! Come on!"

Xiao An and Ning Ning started shouting loudly, Pooh sat down on the ground and was busy eating what the instant noodles stuffed for him, and the instant noodles were stealing the food from Ning Ning's bag with one hand, At the same time, he stretched out a little black hand and waved it like Ning Ning, apparently preparing to continue to confuse the two children.

  Jian Heng never imagined that the fat golden eagle would have the courage to fly into the sky and compete for territory with his own kind.

At this point, Jian Heng underestimated the fat golden eagle a little bit. No matter how decadent it is, its nature to protect its territory still exists. How could the fat man be willing to let go of such a 'good' territory now? A person who is used to fish and meat, if you want to throw him in a place where birds don't lay eggs again, he must have gone crazy like trying to kill you.

   As the old saying goes, if you get used to a rich life, you can't go back to a hard life. This is true for people, and so is the fat golden eagle.
