How to Save a Failed Farm

Lance opened the door for him, but Brand didn't move. Ye Qun suspected that his feet had already taken root on the floor: "This fine will make us bankrupt. I have to support my family. I still have two children."

"It's sympathetic, but it's none of our business."

"You two bastards!" Brand shouted angrily, "You don't care about other people's life or death."

His voice startled the sandwich that was stealing in the kitchen, it rushed out with half a piece of bacon in its mouth, and barked fiercely at Brand.

Sandwich is now seven months old. He has been well-fed and unrestrained and has never lacked exercise. His physique is stronger than dogs of the same age. The fur that is often groomed is shiny and shiny. He looks majestic. Brand is scared by it. Take a few steps.It immediately turned around and ran back to Ye Qun.

"Good dog," Ye Qun decided not to bother with the sandwich and went to the kitchen to eat it secretly. He rubbed the hairy head of the sandwich encouragingly, and his tone became impatient, "Do you want to add another sneaky dog?" Is it a private house?"

He was really going to be laughed at by Brand, he told himself that he couldn't be angry with a lunatic.He couldn't talk to a religious fanatic, because of the excessive majesty of the head of the family or something, and he genuinely thought he was superior, at least gay, and took the visit as a charity.

"You will be punished, I swear you will be punished." Brand was pushed all the way to the door by the sandwich, staring so ferociously that his eyeballs were about to fall off, he turned his head and shouted again.

The door was slammed shut, and Ye Qun couldn't help but say, "God, is he sick?"

"That's why I didn't argue with him last time. It's meaningless and completely useless. It's just playing against each other." Lance pointed to his head, "Our ideas are two parallel lines, and we have nothing in common. "

Not long after, Mrs. Bland also came, but she played the card of warmth: "Help me, our family will be finished after paying this fine... We will compensate you for the part you deserve."

Ye Qun and Lance looked at each other, no matter what, it was impossible for them to be indifferent to a lady who was already wiping tears.But Sandwich doesn't eat this set, probably because it smells similar. As soon as Mrs. Bland stepped into the door, it bared its teeth and put on a defensive posture.

"It's okay, easy, easy, sandwich," Lance patted its neck reassuringly, Sandwich let out a series of grunts from its throat, and reluctantly lay down.

"We don't have any funds for activities, all the money is handed over to the factory... We can only mortgage the house to the bank, which will put us on the street..."

Even though she knew she was exaggerating, Ye Qun still had the illusion that they were really bad guys.

"It's not that bad...I mean, it's not going to be easy." Lance explained to her, as gently as possible, the set of credibility issues that would come with changing the testimony.

"Then you won't help?"

"I regret that."

Mrs. Bland, who was wiping her tears in the next second, quickly put away her tears as if she had pressed some kind of switch, raised her tense chin high, and glared at them: "You are not saving your neighbors. , I swear you will be punished."

Ye Qun stared at Lance dumbfounded, and Lance also looked at him.Their poor gate was slammed and slammed for the second time today.

Well, the lines are exactly the same, as expected of a family, they don't even have the patience for a minute to pretend that they are friendly.

Ye Qun asked suspiciously: "They won't continue to take revenge on us, will they?"

"It is indeed possible."

"It seems that we have to install an alarm system on the border of the farm. Before we install it, let's take turns to watch the night," Ye Qun suggested helplessly, when he suddenly saw the sandwich, "Do you think..." Ye Qun said with interest, "We How about putting a sandwich out for vigil, it's time to do something for the family too."

"Don't do that." Lance hugged Sandwich's neck tightly, and Sandwich struggled to shrink his huge body into Lance's arms, his wet blue eyes looked weak and helpless, "It just made a contribution today, And trust me, it sleeps deader than us at night."

Ye Qun snorted, "Anyway, you two will always be at the same end, right?"

"Wait, let me think about it, I remember I played with drones in high school." Lance immediately ran to the attic and carried a large dusty box down, looking at him expectantly, like a baby shaking his hands. The big golden retriever with a tail begging for praise, "I think this is enough to scare them, and it has its own camera, which can be kept as evidence if necessary."

It was probably thanks to the drone, or the Brand family was so devastated by the indemnity that they had no energy left to cause trouble, and it was very peaceful for several nights.

It is obviously a big project to install an alarm system on a farm of more than 250 mu. There are no boundaries in many parts of the farm. Ye Qun just talked about it casually and did not intend to implement it.Moreover, none of the farms in the town had an alarm system. They couldn't seem too weird. The incident with the Bland family couldn't destroy the trust in the town for the time being.

And falling into the hectic life again within a few days made them have no time to think about it.

On the one hand, the fruit agent brought the grape branches they needed, Merlot. This grape is different from the popular Cabernet Sauvignon in Napa. It is fuller, rounder, early-maturing, and has a large yield. Yequn believes that it is more suitable for the climate in Texas.

On the one hand, the old Parker came with his manpower as promised, and the construction workers in the United States worked very hard, consciously and efficiently without supervision.After all, their hourly rates are high, and not wasting the employer's money is the most basic professional ethics.

Their tools are also very advanced, as Lance said, there is no heavy work, so the speed is quite fast.Old Pike is getting old, he doesn't participate in it personally, he just comes over to give guidance from time to time.From digging the foundation, plumbing, electrical wiring, masonry, painting, drywall, paint, flooring, and finally the concrete exterior, it took a total of just one month.

The two lines are carried out at the same time, and the grape branches will not grow grapes by themselves in summer after being planted.They have been pruning the branches and leaves for several weeks, otherwise there will be too many buds left, which will cause waste and competition for nutrients, which is very detrimental to the fruit.

The most important thing is pest control. Spring is a critical stage, and it is also a period of high incidence of pests. This period determines the quality and quality of grapes.Ye Qun is very concerned about this matter, getting up early every day, disinfecting the entire vineyard, cutting off the old skins on the grape trunks, and spraying sulfur mixture one by one.

In April, after this stage passed, they relaxed a little bit, and the chickens and calves raised gradually grew up.

The Texans' habit of raising cattle has continued. During the day, they let the cattle out to graze on their own, and then drive them back to the pasture in the evening.It was the most peaceful time of the day. After they had finished their farm work for the day, the construction workers also called it a day and went home.

They drove the scattered cows in the pasture towards the pasture as if they were taking a walk. The last rays of the sun cast a layer of light gold on everything around them, which fell on Lance's dark brown hair, making it extra warm .

The hem of the short-sleeved shirt was blown up in the wind, and the air carried the temperature and heat of a little bit of embers.They decided to stop halfway, so they lay their heads on the grass, with a few cows circling leisurely nearby, sometimes lowering their heads to nibble on the turf.

"Farm life is like this." Ye Qun lowered his voice and lowered his voice, and his ending sound rose slightly, like a statement and an exclamation.

Before Lance could speak, he added by himself: "Not bad."

Lance looked at him sideways, the fluff on his face, eyelashes and eyebrows were all smudged into a light golden color, he grinned and showed two rows of white teeth: "It's also very rewarding, right?"

"What?" Ye Qun was a little confused, but then realized.

At first, Ye Qun liked the fluffy chicks, but when they grew up a little and their yellow down feathers receded, and they grew colored feathers and sharp beaks, Ye Qun was really disgusted for a while.

Even if he was ridiculed by Lance, he didn't want to go to the chicken coop to take a look at it. It was too ugly, really ugly, and he couldn't get over it. This was his psychological shadow.Ye Qun remembered that when he was a child, he raised silkworms in biology class. One day, he cut open the white silkworm cocoons and saw moths that had not yet fully developed. It's the same when it's chick.

Cleaning the chicken coop is also a very disgusting thing. Ye Qun really wants them to fend for themselves, but it can't. If they are not cleaned in time, the bacteria that grow can easily cause chicken plague.

First of all, Lance took care of all the dirty work very considerately, and he didn't let Ye Qun do it: "Honey, I'm completely busy, let me do it, you won't get used to it."

It was this sentence that made Ye Qun resolutely reject him. He couldn't put everything on Lance. He didn't come on vacation. He had to really devote himself to life. This was more like a determination.Lance is already very busy, and he still has a large cornfield to look after, so he has to share some work within his ability.

If Ye Qun knew what he was going to face from the beginning, he would definitely give up the ridiculous and meaningless idea of ​​"proving that he is not a pampered urbanite".It's a pity that he didn't turn back when he opened the bow. For the first time, he was fully armed, covering himself so that only one eye was exposed.Gradually, he could do all this without changing his face, and he felt that he had fully integrated into the life of the farm.The proof is that he no longer suffers from a backache from a hard day's work.
