Chapter 508

There was a fork ahead, Tony turned left, and the car went the other way.

On both sides of the road are corns as tall as a person. Sitting in the car, you can't see far at all, and your sight is completely blocked by the corns.

Sandra: "This is the central point to the farm."

Beanne was surprised: "Isn't this only half? This farm is really big."

Sandra: "There's a good place to surprise you even more."

Beanie is full of anticipation.

After walking forward for about 10 minutes, the corn field was over, and Beanie saw trees. Although it was sparse, it was still rare in such a place.

Tony stopped the car.

Carlos also rode to catch up, but he did not dismount, but stood on the horse and looked out, as if looking at some fascinating landscape.

Sandra: "The good place is here."

She got out of the car first, and then picked Manna up.

Beanie followed and got out of the car.

Tony had already helped the old grandmother out of the car.

The old grandmother kept walking forward, still yelling: "I haven't come to see it for a long time..."

Sandra signaled to Beanie: "Go."

Beanie followed curiously.

She saw that besides a few tall trees scattered along the road, there were also some low plants, wild flowers and weeds.

Then she felt a damp smell in the air.

This dank scent with floral and watery notes is so strong.

Because there are deserts along the way for these two days, it is difficult to see other plants except cacti.

The only large plants I saw were the grasslands and crops of the farm.

The only place where there is water is the moat of the farm,

Here, however, the air is more humid than that of the ditch.

what is that?

Oh, she saw a lake.

A lake the size of a football field.

A lake lying quietly surrounded by green trees, flowers and plants under the cover of blue sky and white clouds.

The breeze blew, and there were ripples on the lake.

Sparkling in the sunlight.

So beautiful.

Beanie's eyes widened in surprise, she couldn't believe it.

Sandra: "Hahahaha, were you surprised? When I first saw it, I was a hundred times more surprised than you."

Beanne: "Is this natural or man-made."

Sandra: "Of course it's natural. Who would spend manpower, material and financial resources to dig a lake in this desert? Even if your mother and I have the ability to dig such a big hole, God won't rain to fill it up. What's more What's more, I don't have that much money at all, and the money just to buy land has already used up all my savings."

Beanne: "It's amazing. Who found it? How did you find this lake?"

Sandra: "Yes. It was miraculous, and to this day I still feel like it was a dream.

It was discovered by a friend of mine.

It is the friend I mentioned before. His biggest dream is to own his own land. He has been to many places in Mexico and done a lot of work. His goal is to have his own land and become a farm after earning money. host.

Neither of us had any money back then, and it was all just good hopes.

He said that we are talking on paper now, and we will definitely realize our wishes in the future.

Later, we all went to the United States. At that time, we felt that the United States was full of gold, just waiting for us to pick it up.Hehe, who knew...

Money can be earned, but the price paid is equally high...

I don't know how he found this place, I just know that he was very happy to tell me that he found a good place, a good Feng Shui place.

He said that buying land is also very important, and the most important thing is to have water, especially in places like Mexico, where the rainfall is pitiful, such a lake is simply a cornucopia bestowed by heaven.

He drew a simple drawing, saying how to build a farm around this lake, how to plan, etc. He solemnly handed this piece of paper to me, saying that the farm will be ours in the future, and when we earn enough money, we can buy it. Come down, give it to me, and build a beautiful home.At that time, we all looked forward to a bright future, but then he..."

Sandra is caught up in memories of the past.

Her eyes were on the lake, but her thoughts drifted far away.

Beanne knew that this friend must mean a lot to her.

After a while, Sandra said: "Now you understand why you chose this place. There is a natural water source here. He is right, this is a cornucopia. After I have money, the first thing I do is find After buying this place, he first bought the lake. According to his plan, he first planted some trees and flowers around the lake to prevent soil erosion, and then gradually reclaimed wasteland around the lake to plant wheat and corn. There are some vegetables, and the lake water is used to irrigate crops.

It took almost ten years of operation to get to the small scale it is today.

I named the farm Hope, which is his hope and mine. "

"Oh, that's how Hope Farm got its name."

Sandra: "The amazing thing is that the water from this lake irrigates this large area of ​​land. I have never seen its water level drop. It is always so full of water."

Grandmother: "Thank you for the blessing of the gods. How many people will be fed by this lake and this piece of land? If it was in that era, no one would starve to death..."

Sandra: "The old grandmother experienced war, famine, hunger, disease... Among her brothers and sisters, some died of starvation. Even I grew up with hunger, these are things you young people can't understand .”

Beanne: "Mom, I can understand, is that why you value the land so important?"

"Yes, you can build a home with land. That's what my friend told me."

Grandmother: "Tara, do you like it here?"

Beanie: "Yeah, it's nice here."

Sandra: "Okay, let's get in the car, the sun is high, don't let Minna get sunburned, let's go back."

Everyone got in the car and continued along the dirt road.

Sandra: "This is the center of the farm. It's only halfway through, but it's almost there. If you want to come here in the future, or want to go further, you can take Sam's carriage and watch it from the carriage. The scenery of the farm is another flavor."

Beanie could imagine that scene.

Certainly far more spectacular than sitting in a car.

The car passed through this cornfield and onto another dirt road, which was the other side of the farm.It was still the fence of the trench, and there was a house not far away.

These are where the farm workers live.I didn't see anyone, so I should have gone to work in the field.

Sandra said that the farm is a circle, and these workers are distributed on the outer circle of the circle.

Back at the old grandmother’s house, Sandra pushed out the stroller, put Manna in the stroller, and pushed her around the yard. Manna was very excited sitting in the stroller, her little hands He kept patting the front baffle, babbling and babbling.

"Look, now our adults are much more relaxed, and we can free our hands to work."

"Yes, Mom. That's a good idea."

"Manna only drinks milk now, she can't eat egg custard, she needs to add other food, can you bake bread?"

Beanne: "A little bit."

"Come on, I'll teach you how to make egg custard, and then we'll bake some bread."

Sandra said to Tony and Carlos who followed on horseback: "You two big men are responsible for catching a chicken. We will make roast chicken today."

Carlos: "Ma'am, how can one chicken be enough to eat, and another sheep has to be killed...Right, Tony."

Tony: "Yes, yes, I wiped out a chicken all by myself."

The old grandmother: "I see you two, a sheep is not enough, I see enough to slaughter a cow."

Carlos: "It's the old grandma who understands that I usually eat too simple, so I can have a full meal today. Ma'am, Tony, you have to come here often, or I will starve to death..."

The old grandmother: "I know it in my heart, Carlos, don't think I don't know, don't you eat less sheep? You two lazy guys, you just know how to eat...you don't work..."

Take a whip as if to beat them both.

Tony and Carlos turned around and ran to the grassland beyond the fence to catch chickens and sheep.

　Today I recommend a new book "The Year of Standing Without Confusion" Standing at thirty and standing without confusion at forty is what Confucius said

　　Li Fuxiang will not be able to stand for a long time, and something happened in his family...

　　Realistic themes, pay more attention

　　Thank you.
