Yunding Ranch

Chapter 224
"Are you fucking kidding me?" Li Yitong firmly believed that he was insane.

The hourly salary is eight dollars, which is the basic hourly salary of KFC and McDonald's. Even if you work five days a week and work eight hours a day, the monthly work is only less than [-] dollars, which is really too low. up.

Now California has updated the minimum hourly wage regulations, and the minimum wage per hour is fifteen dollars.In other words, Lu Li's salary was just over half of the minimum wage in California.

Li Yitong deeply felt that the man in front of him must be crazy.

Lu Li didn't know the hourly salary regulations in California, but he knew the hourly salary regulations in New York. To be honest, the wages in Texas are really not high, especially considering the economic status of Texas.

However, the overall economy is currently in a downturn. Even with low salaries, there are still countless people who cannot find a job. The unemployment rate is rising every year. In many people's eyes, it is better to receive government/ government unemployment benefits.Therefore, many idle "unemployed people" have been added to the society.

Li Yitong's reaction was expected, Lu Li didn't panic at all, shrugged his shoulders, "Criminal capitalism, huh?" Then he smiled and walked straight towards the ranch, ignoring the people next to him. Li Yitong with a surprised face, "If you want to leave, the gate is here, I mean, you haven't entered the gate yet. Or do you need me to call a taxi for you?"

Lu Li's words were relaxed and freehand, with a lingering sarcasm all the time, he decided to make it up again, "By the way, I forgot to tell you, you blocked the access to and from the ranch, it's very rude."

After finishing speaking, Lu Li paused, and solemnly called out "Jack."

This was a very normal address at first, but in Lu Li's slightly serious and slightly joking words, it became extremely sarcastic, which made Jack feel a little annoyed. Putting on his leather shoes, he walked angrily in another direction.

He wants to get out of here, out of this shitty place!Get away from this place where rednecks gather!Get off this damn ranch!
Lu Li walked into the ranch, and Brandon came out from the old warehouse that hadn't been demolished, raised his chin, and signaled the direction Li Yitong left, "Are you sure it's okay?"

Lu Li didn't need to turn his head, he could tell from the sound of stumbling wheels that Li Yitong must be leaving. He stopped and said with a smile, "It's okay, just leave."

As for Li Huainan, just tell him. This kind of thing cannot be forced, and it is not a labor reform in prison. I believe Li Huainan will understand.

"Wait, he's back again." Brandon raised his chin again, indicating the direction of the person, and said.

This time, Lu Li turned around and looked at Li Yitong in surprise.He thought that what he said just now made Li Yitong go away in anger.

Now, Li Yitong actually came back again. Either he negotiated some deal with Li Huainan and had to stay; or he encountered some troubles in Los Angeles and wanted to calm down for vacation; or there were other Lu Li I don't know, and I can't guess the reason for now.

"One month, I'll only stay here for one month." Li Yitong looked at Lu Li and said with a pause, "I don't have any money on me now, what kind of work do you need me for? Also, where do I live? "

Lu Li didn't answer right away, but introduced the two of them, "Brandon, this is Jack; Jack, this is Brandon. Brandon is the head of the ranch's horses, and he is in charge of the work of the stables." ; Jack is a temporary wage earner on the ranch in summer, and he will stay here for a month to relieve our work pressure."

According to Li Yitong's request, Lu Li also introduced "Jack".Lu Li is not obsessed with the name, just like his English name "Fourteen", in the final analysis it is just a name, convenience and catchy are the most important, since Li Yitong insists that "Jack" is more convenient, then he is willing to call it that way.

Afterwards, Lu Li pointed to the villa behind him, and said to Jack, "This is the house where the cowboys live. Every room has a name on the door. The one without a name can be lived in. You can go in and pack your luggage." Lay it down and get out to work."

"Now?" Li Yitong exclaimed uncontrollably, it's already evening, there is not much time before dinner, it should be off work time!
Lu Li shrugged, "Yes, it's now. The commuting time of the ranch is quite special. You should start to learn to adapt now."

Li Yitong looked at Lu Li, opened his mouth, but finally did not say anything, gritted his teeth, turned around and walked towards the back of the villa, muttering unrecognizable words, but never Judging by the tone, it must be a complaint.

The little guy named Hulk followed him step by step, but Li Yitong didn't have time to take care of him, and his footsteps became faster and faster, which made the little short leg follow very hard, and he fell behind in a blink of an eye. The small buttocks are swaying briskly, which really makes people laugh.

"Just now Li sent him over, put him down, left without saying a word. By the way, there is that little guy." Brandon looked at Li Yitong's back and said simply, which made Lu Li suddenly realize, No wonder Li Yitong was standing alone in the middle of the road. Lu Li wondered how he could get here without a car, and also brought a dog with him. "So, how do you deal with this?"

Lu Li thought about it seriously, and said solemnly, "Have you seen 'Full Metal Jacket'? In the first half of the movie, in the recruit training camp, the instructor's devil training directly caused the recruits to completely collapse, from body to spirit. Well, I You are being asked to do so now."

Brandon looked at Lu Li, and after confirming his thoughts, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded, "It's not difficult."

Brandon pointed in the direction of the stables, "Exactly, I'm going to brush the horse today. By the way, Jessica is cleaning the manure in the cowshed. Last week, because she was busy with the organic farm, she didn't have time. Today The scene was a little bloody."

Lu Li suppressed the smile on his lips and nodded, "By the way, tell others that anyone who needs help is welcome to call him."

Brandon nodded meaningfully, "Then I need to hurry up. I still have a lot of work to do today. If I'm late, I won't be able to grab it."

After finishing speaking, Brandon quickly walked towards the villa and shouted in a rough voice, "Jack? Jack? Dear Jack, it's time for work, don't dawdle anymore. Stay in the room , this is not profitable, don't forget, today's dinner has not yet been settled. Only hard work, you will not be hungry. Jack? I am not a patient person, don't let me wait too long here , the last five seconds!"

Lu Li looked at Brandon with great interest. He had never seen Brandon like this before.Think about it carefully, but I don’t think it’s strange. Texans, rude, primitive, hot and powerful Texans, if they are fully fired, it is estimated that people in other states will be difficult to resist, let alone foreigners.Especially their words are vague and powerful, many times before they can hear what the other party is saying clearly, they are taken aback for a while.

Sure enough, Li Yitong couldn't get used to it, and walked out in a hurry. He didn't even have time to change his leather shoes, so he ran out all the way; the tail that couldn't be shaken was still followed behind him.

Brandon was still unwilling to give up, shook his head, his face was full of dissatisfaction, and quickly led the way, yelling, "There are unfinished jobs in the sheepfold, cattle pen, and stables, and now it's time for dinner." With less than three hours, no one wants to go hungry, do they?"

Li Yitong gave Lu Li a hard look, as if to say: I will never admit defeat, and I will never stay!
However, before he had time to communicate further, Brandon's shout came again, "Quick!" This made Li Yitong unable to stay any longer, and trotted all the way to catch up. The little guy still followed quickly, but at this time Li Yitong really didn't have time to take care of him, so he just raised his voice and shouted, "Don't follow. Don't." Then he ran away quickly.

The little guy followed for a short distance, and then found that he couldn't keep up, or he heard the master's scolding, he stopped, stood where he was, and looked at the direction Li Yitong left without moving. Disappeared in the corner of the garden, but he was still unwilling to leave, and gradually turned into a watchdog, standing in place in a daze, waiting, waiting.

Lu Li looked at the little guy's back, and Teddy's figure immediately appeared in his mind, so he could only sigh softly.Although he wanted to help a little, he didn't know how to start, and besides, wasn't that what dogs were like?Even if he helps, the effect is very limited.What's more, he is still a stranger.

So, Lu Li looked away, walked towards the Raptor parked on the side of the road, drove the car in, and temporarily parked in the temporary parking lot next to the lake - because the original parking lot was merged and transformed into a warehouse.So, everyone temporarily parks their cars next to the lake. After the construction is complete, Lu Li plans to put the parking lot on the south side of the stables. Although it is a little farther away, at least it will not damage the original scenery of the lake.

After parking the car, Lu Li walked back slowly, and then saw the little guy who was still standing there without moving. He seemed to have really petrified.

Lu Li originally wanted to go straight back to the main house, but standing in the garden, he couldn't move forward.He knows it's not something he's good at, but after living on the ranch for the past few months, he has spent most of his time dealing with animals. Maybe he can try to be more active now.

Especially looking at that sad little /ass/ass.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Li turned around and walked outside the fence.
