Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland

Chapter 252 - 250: Golden Retriever Wangwang Arrives, a Bustling Ranch!

Jiang Feng and his girlfriend are video chatting casually.

In the video, Liu Yiyi is at home, wearing a pink pajamas, applying skincare products to her face, while saying to Jiang Feng:

"Milk Candy is pregnant, I took her to the vet, and they said she’s already been pregnant for half a month."

"She seems to know it herself, hasn’t been running around much these days."

"The vet said dogs can give birth in two months, so I guess it’ll be another month and a half."

Upon hearing Liu Yiyi’s words, Jiang Feng appeared somewhat surprised.

He turned to look at the golden Border Collie resting on the ground, then back at Liu Yiyi in the video, laughing:

"This is a surprise, it must have happened when I visited you and Xiaojin Hua."

Liu Yiyi carefully examined her delicate skin in the camera and replied:

"Yes, that’s when it happened."

"A moment of carelessness and she’s pregnant."

"Next time we meet, I guess I’ll have to bring the puppies back with me."

Hearing what she said, Jiang Feng quickly responded:

"Don’t give the puppies to anyone else. My ranch needs sheepdogs, I’ll raise them all."

"For such a big ranch, only four dogs and one wolf is too few."

"Other ranches have at least a dozen puppies."

Liu Yiyi smiled and said, "Alright, no problem, I’ll keep them all for you."

The two chatted happily for a while longer.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Feng looked at Xiaojin Hua on the ground.

Xiaojin Hua grinned foolishly, sensing something odd about Jiang Feng’s look, but wasn’t quite sure why.

"You’re going to be a dad."

"Quite quick, aren’t you?"

Jiang Feng went over, patted his head, and said with a smile.

Xiaojin Hua didn’t understand, just kept grinning along.

The next day, the weather was clear, and the air felt fresh.

In the morning, Yang Maolin went out to herd sheep with someone else, while Jiang Feng was arranging haystack-related matters.

The uncle’s loader was borrowed again to help transport the haystacks.

Jiang Feng sold the haystacks to a forage company and made some money.

This year’s pastures grew more, but there were more cows and sheep too, which are more valuable than grass, so fewer pastures were sold compared to last year.

Due to the busy season, Jiang Feng’s parents came to the ranch to help.

In the pastoral community, family relations are highly valued.

Jiang Feng’s parents naturally brought the dogs with them.

Including Old Hei the Black Back Dog, Golden Retriever Wangwang, and Wangwang’s sons Da Bao and Er Bao.

The ranch suddenly became lively.

Drones were live-streaming the scenery of the prairie.

The forklift entered the pasture, lifted the massive circular haystacks, transported them to the ranch, and then loaded them onto trucks using a crane.

The entire process was mechanized.

Seeing the busy farm equipment is always invigorating.

At this moment, the drone switched to a top-down view, capturing the bustle on the pasture.

[Even herding is so modern now, with all these large machines!]

[A ranch this big definitely needs machines, doing it by hand would be exhausting!]

[Actually, many places use mechanized operations, people just don’t realize!]

[Can’t explain why, but it’s quite interesting to watch!]

People were drawn to the machinery in the video.

Many, upon finding the live stream, would pause and watch for a few minutes.

Such content makes people feel relaxed and satisfied.

As the hay was being transported, the flock had been driven back early.

Lucky and Wealthy were just minding their own business.

As they got close to the ranch, they spotted Golden Retriever Wangwang outside, with his head held high, looking conceited and proud.

So, the two adult Border Collies immediately rushed over and began to throw a playful punch and kick at Wangwang.

Wangwang didn’t let up and started counterattacking right away.

They were fighting for real, yet it was playful as well.

Meanwhile, Xiaojin Hua also returned, greeting the two Little Golden Retrievers.

The Little Golden Retrievers curiously watched the adult dogs fighting, but Xiaojin Hua indicated it was nothing out of the ordinary; they were used to it, as they often did this.

When there are more animals, the atmosphere always becomes lively.

At the moment, Jiang Feng was by the truck, overseeing the haystack transportation.

This year’s pastures were sold by weight, at 1,300 yuan per ton, quite a high price.

Jiang Feng sold about seven to eight hundred tons of hay, and with 100 tons bringing in 130,000 yuan, the hay sales earned him around one million this year.

Such sprawling pastures with lush grass, this is their worth.

Moreover, the hay is in demand.

Five large trucks awaited at the ranch, each capable of hauling 20 tons of hay.

This was just the beginning; more trucks would keep coming.

Standing nearby, Jiang Feng brought the drone back and chatted with the netizens:

"This season, in the logistics zone on the prairie, it’s almost all about transporting hay."

"You can see the trucks coming and going, all loaded with hay."

"This year’s hay prices rose a bit; it used to be 1,100 yuan per ton, now it’s 1,200 or 1,300 yuan."

"My hay is relatively good, priced at 1,300 yuan per ton."

"There’s so much hay this year; even with so many cows and sheep, there’s still plenty left. I’m considering raising more cows and sheep next year."

"But if I raise more, it’s not just about the hay, there’s also expanding shelters, managing, and taking care of them when sick. We still lack manpower now."

"Let’s maintain the current situation of 4,500 sheep, 500 cows, and some camels and horses, that’s about it for now."

In the past, when Jiang Feng did livestreams, everyone thought he was an interesting rancher who always took care of some animals.

Every time there’s big work to be done at the ranch, the netizens can see Jiang Feng’s financial prowess.

All those mechanical devices and the transported hay all belong to him.

The same goes for the cattle and sheep.

Such wealth is something others dare not even imagine.

[The rancher will make another income from selling hay!]

[Watching him make money feels worse than losing money myself!]

[As a herdsman, I’m so envious of the rancher’s pasture. How can the grass grow so tall and excellent, it’s just incomparable!]

[Yeah, while we’re still nomadic on government divided Four Seasons Ranch, he’s already selling pasture on his private ranch. The difference between herdsmen is vast!]

Bullet comments came flooding in.

As the ranch continually develops, it is bound to generate massive profits.

Life is just like this.

Jiang Feng asked Luo Jinzhu to give cigarettes to several big truck drivers. Though he is the rancher, he isn’t arrogant, treating people kindly. These truck drivers respect and admire him a lot.

Just at that moment, the Mongolian Mastiff Coal Ball ran over to find Jiang Feng.

Typically, White Wolf does not like crowded places and returns to Jiang Feng’s yard after herding.

The Border Collie family is playing with the Golden Retriever family and didn’t come over.

Coal Ball came over to find Jiang Feng.

Coal Ball is very majestic.

These truck drivers have traveled all around, visited many ranches, and seen many Mongolian Mastiffs.

Jiang Feng’s dog is definitely among the top in terms of looks.

"Director Jiang, your dog is really impressive, looks robust, and is well-raised,"

one truck driver exclaimed.

Jiang Feng courteously replied:

"I specially picked it when I bought it, got it at a high price, its pedigree is quite pure."

"It isn’t aggressive on a daily basis, just raised like this."

The colors on the Mongolian Mastiff are mainly black and yellow.

The back is black, with yellow patterns on the chest, like a giant heart.

Coal Ball knows he’s being praised, stands up and wiggles his little tail, looking especially cute.

Soon, with the help of the crane, enormous haystacks were placed on the trucks.

Drivers and employees fixed the haystacks together to ensure they wouldn’t fall off.

The haystacks are laid flat, very stable.

Seeing the truck piled high with hay, netizens think driving a truck is really tough.

[A truck can be loaded with so much hay! Driving a big truck is too hard!]

[What’s hard about it, it’s all about making money, what I hate the most on the road are big trucks!]

[Everyone is trying hard to make money, no need to be prejudiced!]

[How much is there to haul in this trip!]

Everyone was discussing fervently.

Life is like this, everyone is living a different life.

The ranch kitchen has started to prepare meals because Jiang Feng’s parents and uncle are here, the meals will be quite rich.

By around five in the afternoon, the trucks were filled with hay and left Jiang Feng’s ranch heading towards the buyers’ ranches.

At this time, the ranch’s employee Hadan also brought over Jiang Youwei, uncle’s son, from Xilinhot City.

Jiang Youwei’s change surprised Jiang Feng greatly.

This cousin is now in the first year of middle school, he used to be short and chubby, a little pudgy.

Not seen for over half a year, he unexpectedly slimmed down quite a bit and grew taller.

This age is good for losing weight because the body will grow, and the skin won’t sag.

If one loses weight from being very fat after becoming an adult, the skin will slacken too.

The cousin was very well-behaved in front of Jiang Feng since Jiang Feng is successful in his career, considered to be the most accomplished in the family, always polite.

Plus, Jiang Feng is quite popular, Jiang Youwei knows this.

"Bro," Jiang Youwei greeted.

"You really lost weight, I didn’t quite believe it when uncle told me."

"Impressive, well done."

Jiang Feng praised with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Youwei just smiled.

Seems like after sliming down, this fellow started to care about his personal demeanor, unlike the older, carefree self.

Usually, this means there’s a little girl he likes.

Jiang Feng didn’t say much more.

The ranch atmosphere is especially lively, Jiang Feng also needed to take the family to see the Sika Deer and camels, so he bid the livestream viewers goodbye and ended the stream early.

Jiang Feng led the family to visit the deer shed.

"Fuzhu!"

"Little assistant!"

Jiang Feng called out.

Sometimes, the name Fuzhu is a bit awkward to call out, so Jiang Feng simply used a homophone calling it assistant, since there’s an assistant riding on the person just like a deer.

Hearing Jiang Feng’s call, a white fawn escaped from beside its mother and ran out from the deer shed.

The little creature is like a small lamb but more lively than a sheep.

After seeing it, Jiang Feng’s parents and uncle’s family couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment.

"So white, looks even whiter than in the video."

Mrs. Jiang was so fond of the little white deer, she immediately marveled.

Others also praised repeatedly.

The little white deer is like a spirit intruding into the human world, beautiful like an animal from the Immortal Realm.

Now it just waits to grow up slowly, surely to amaze everyone.
