Chapter 215 No more babies
Chapter 215 No more babies
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Ordinary people's understanding of the world is just the tip of the iceberg. A person who works hard for three meals a day cannot imagine the pursuits of the powerful, and rarely sees those corners where the sun doesn't shine. The year I returned home, I went to the Amazon to carry out a mission and killed an old immortal who lived for more than a hundred years."
Feng Xue couldn't believe it. Could someone really live to be over a hundred years old?
Jiang Ning said: "If any part is broken, replace it with a new one. If the blood is broken and has no blood-forming function, replace it. Even if the person becomes a monster after replacing all parts, as long as there is still a breath, he will not die even if he lies down and cannot move."
Feng Xue found it hard to understand how such a thing could exist.
Jiang Ning said: "After people have solved the problem of food and clothing, they will naturally fear death as they grow older. Human nature is the same from ancient times to the present. The emperors in ancient times wanted to live forever, so how can people today be an exception?"
Feng Xue was a little worried and felt that the world was too dangerous.
Jiang Ning comforted her: "Most people still hope that the world will become better. This is the common wish of mankind, so the bad guys are only a small part. As long as those who grasp the truth can act like human beings, there will be fewer disasters in the world."
Feng Xue continued to gesture and asked some questions that could not be told.
Jiang Ning told her what he knew.
Rested on the ranch for a few days.
Feng Yu flew over with her daughter, and also came with her brother and sister-in-law.
Jiang Ning chartered a business jet and flew directly to the ranch.
It is convenient to have an airport as it saves you the trouble of transferring.
What is lacking now is a business jet that can fly long distances.
The small planes on the ranch can't fly very far, so they are fine for flying domestic routes.
International routes are not up to the task.
When the plane stopped on the runway, Jiang Ning was already waiting at the end of the runway.
The crew opened the cabin door, and Feng Yu and Chen Huiru got off the plane holding their child.
Jiang Hua followed behind carrying two large suitcases.
There was also a big bag and several bags.
The crew was sent down.
Feng Yu looked at him, pointed at Jiang Ning and asked his daughter: "Tiantian, who is that?"
The little guy glanced at it and said in a baby voice, "Dad."
Seeing Feng Xue standing next to her, she happily called out, "Mom."
Jiang Ning walked forward, took his daughter, and kissed her hard twice.
The little guy reached out, held his face and kissed him twice.
Feng Xue came over and gestured twice.
The little guy stretched out his hands and asked for a hug: "Mom!"
Jiang Ning handed her to Feng Xue and asked Feng Yu, "Are you okay on the way?"
Feng Yu was wearing thin clothes. It was midsummer in Australia, but it was still a bit cold in the northern hemisphere. He tightened his clothes and said, "It's okay. I almost got there after a good sleep. I stopped to refuel in Hawaii and passed customs in Dallas."
Jiang Ning nodded and greeted his brother and sister-in-law.
He went over to thank the crew, gave each of them a tip of $500, and asked the farm mechanics to assist the crew in repairing the plane. Then he asked his brother, sister-in-law, wife and children to get in the car and go to Villa No. 1.
Two cars arrived, one of them was Jiang Ning's BMW.
There is also a Cadillac on the farm.
My brother and sister-in-law got into the Cadillac.
Feng Yu naturally got into Jiang Ning's car.
Feng Xue did not sit in the passenger seat, but sat in the back seat with Feng Yu.
The little guy didn't want to sit, and stood between his two mothers, looking out curiously.
Feng Xue supported her with both hands.
Feng Yu seemed very tired, and it was not known whether it was from the plane ride or from taking care of the children. While yawning, he asked Feng Xue about her experiences in Europe. Jiang Ning added a few words from time to time, and they arrived at Villa No. 1 in seven or eight minutes.
Feng Xue made tea and went to prepare dinner.
Feng Yu and Chen Huiru also went to help.
Jiang Ning and Jiang Hua are responsible for taking care of the children.
Jiang Tiantian was running around and no longer needed anyone to help her.
Jiang Ziwen was still walking while holding onto the coffee table.
Jiang Ning asked, "You still can't run?"
Jiang Hua supported his son: "He can walk five or six steps, but no further."
Jiang Ning looked at his nephew, then at his daughter, and discovered something new: "Tiantian is a head taller than Ziwen."
Jiang Hua nodded. The brother and sister are more than three months apart in age.
This is normal.
Some children develop slowly before they are one year old.
Some children develop rapidly before they are one year old.
None of this is a problem.
Jiang Ning asked about his parents' situation and talked about the ranch.
Dinner is ready, Feng Xue had almost prepared it.
Just wait until you come back for dinner.
Move to the dining room and put the two little ones on the dining chairs.
The seven members of the family, big and small, ate dinner around the dining table. After they finished cleaning up, before the sun set, they went out to visit the ranch. Jiang Ning did not call the ranch's car. Jiang Hua sat in the passenger seat, and the three ladies squeezed in the back seat with their children.
When we arrived at the airport, we flew a helicopter around a few times.
Jiang Hua was amazed: "This ranch is really big."
Jiang Ning was controlling the plane while saying, "It's close to 70,000 acres, which is about the same as the second ranch, or even a little bigger. But it's just average in Texas. There are many ranches in the United States that are much bigger than this one. There's an even bigger one next to Seymour's ranch. It's even the largest single ranch in the United States, with an area of more than 2,000 square kilometers, spanning several counties, and is ten times the size of this ranch."
Jiang Hua asked: "Can we plant trees? Planting trees has higher economic benefits."
Jiang Ning said: "It can't be planted. If you plant trees, the nature of the land is forest land. Unless you reclaim wasteland and declare the land use as forest land, the ranch can only be mainly used for breeding, and the farm can only be used for agriculture."
Jiang Ziwen leaned on the window and screamed with excitement.
Jiang Tiantian sat in her mother's arms, looking ahead curiously.
Neither noisy nor noisy, just quiet.
Feng Yu said: "Building so many houses is a hassle to maintain."
Chen Huidian seconded the motion: "Five villas, not counting the employees' dormitories, there is no way we can live here, it's such a waste."
Jiang Ning said, "This is the difference in attitude towards life. Americans value life and want to enjoy life when they have money. The five villas have different uses. Some are suitable for parties and some are suitable for family gatherings. It's the same for the rich people in my hometown. Everyone has a few houses. It's just that it's hard to get land in my hometown, so there are no such large farms."
Feng Yu asked, "Can we handle the work with just over a hundred employees?"
Jiang Ning said, "More than a hundred people are too many. The ranches in the United States are different from those in my hometown. The degree of mechanization is very high. A few people are enough to take care of more than 20,000 cows. Twenty to thirty people are enough to farm. If it weren't for a bunch of miscellaneous people such as pet doctors and gardeners, there wouldn't be so many people. Labor in the United States is expensive, and the annual salary of these people is not a small amount."
Feng Yu calculated: "More than a hundred people would make several million a year, right?"
Jiang Ning nodded: "About five or six million. If the ranch is not managed well, they can't afford to support all these people. The previous family was already spending more than they earned, otherwise they wouldn't be in such a hurry to sell the ranch."
Jiang Hua couldn't understand: "With so many cows and 100,000 acres of land, how can the income not cover the expenses?"
Jiang Ning said, "Nowadays, grass is expensive. The profit from raising a cow is less than $200, and there are many who lose money. Not to mention farming. Americans all farm on a large scale using mechanization. They can't do the small-scale intensive farming like in my hometown. The yield is generally not high. The profit per acre is less than $100. It's normal for the income to exceed the expenditure if the management is not good."
After flying around, it was getting late.
Go back to sleep.
Feng Xue took the little guy away and let him sleep with her. Feng Yu was still a little uncomfortable, but after four and a half days and nights, she had long been accustomed to his company.
I feel a little uncomfortable suddenly not sleeping with my daughter.
I took a shower and paid my dues as usual.
For some reason, Feng Yu suddenly became proactive.
Jiang Ning also felt an inexplicable sense of freshness and worked on it for an hour.
After finishing, they hugged each other and talked.
Feng Yu said: "I think your mental state is much better than before."
Jiang Ning said: "It's much better than before. I think I have new expectations for life!"
“When are you going to have a baby?”
"Sister said there's no rush, let's wait until Tiantian is older."
"I'll be thirty next year."
"You are right to worry. Tiantian is too young. It will be tiring for you to take care of a child by yourself. If I get pregnant again, I will definitely not have the extra sperm to help you take care of Tiantian. You may even need someone to take care of her. You won't be able to do without a nanny."
Feng Yu thought for a while and said, "Then let's wait until Tiantian is three years old and goes to kindergarten. But it can't be too late. If it's too late, the risk of giving birth to a child at an older age will be greater."
Jiang Ning said: "Why don't you hire a nanny? Don't you want to have a second child too?"
Feng Yu said: "I won't have any more children."
Jiang Ning was surprised: "Why aren't you having children again?"
Feng Yu said: "If my sister gives birth to one, I won't have any more. It doesn't matter who gives birth, two children is enough."
Jiang Ning hugged her tightly, silence was better than words at this moment.
Feng Yu had long said that she wanted two children.
But now I don’t want to have a second child, obviously I have longer-term considerations.
Jiang Ning could imagine what would happen if Feng Yu gave birth to two children and Feng Xue gave birth to one.
When the children grow up, they will be different even if they are born by the same mother.
If each person has one, these problems will not exist.
Making this decision was undoubtedly a huge sacrifice for Feng Yu, who had always wanted to have both a son and a daughter.
Jiang Ning didn't know what to say.
Rested for a night.
We got up the next day and went to visit the villa, but seeing it from the sky was just a cursory glance.
Not specific enough.
After looking at the house, the whole morning passed.
After lunch, we went to the ranch to watch cowboys herding cattle.
It is just the beginning of spring, and other ranches still have only light green grass, and it is far from time for grazing. The cows are fed with hay stored in the winter. However, the grass at Meigao Ranch has grown to one inch high, and has grown very fast in the past few days.
The ranch hands have already started grazing.
Two cowboys drove two helicopters and drove the cattle to their destination.
More than 20,000 bull heads are a lot, and they form a huge black mass.
The momentum is quite spectacular.
Jiang Ning was so excited that he asked someone to send a helicopter over.
I brought my family to join in the fun, and drove the cattle with the hired workers in a helicopter.
Experience ranch life firsthand.
When the helicopter flew close to the ground, the cattle were startled and ran away.
Jiang Ziwen clapped his hands on the window and cried out in delight.
Jiang Tiantian looked at her brother, seemingly not understanding why he was so excited.
The cattle were driven to the pasture and the helicopter returned.
Landed at the airport.
A cowboy got off the plane and gave Jiang Ning a thumbs up: "Boss, your driving skills are good."
Jiang Ning high-fived him: "You are also great. I am not as good as you. After all, I am just an amateur and my flying time is not very long. You have much more flying time than me and you have more driving experience than me."
The cowboy smiled happily.
There is no man who doesn't like airplanes.
Jiang Hua was of course no exception and was very jealous.
Jiang Ning asked a cowboy to teach him.
Feng Yu and Chen Huiru also curiously visited the planes in the hangar. The planes in the hangar were very small. The largest helicopter could only seat five or six people, and the largest jet could seat seven people. You could board the plane to take a look.
The space is not much better than in a car.
I can't even straighten my waist.
The two had never seen such a small plane and they just stared at it in amazement.
Feng Yu also asked Jiang Ning: "How far can this plane fly?"
Jiang Ning said: "The maximum flight distance is 2,000 kilometers. The range of an airplane is determined by the flight time, not the number of kilometers. Just like a car, it has an economic speed. This airplane can only fly domestic routes at most, and cannot fly abroad."
Chen Huiru asked: "How much is this plane?"
Jiang Ning said: "This is the most expensive of these planes. A new one costs more than two million now, but this plane has been manufactured for decades. Second-hand ones are cheaper, and you can get one for two or three hundred thousand."
Chen Huiru smacked her lips: "So cheap."
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "This kind of small plane is not that expensive. We can buy it in my hometown. However, due to the aviation policy restrictions in my hometown, most people cannot afford it. Ordinary people don't pay much attention to it. There are many people in the United States who fly private planes."
Feng Yu said, "Why not take the business jet we came here on?"
Jiang Ning said: "Of course. The Gulfstream series is a large business jet, worth tens of millions. This is just a small toy. The difference is like the difference between a Curry man and an Alto. They are not of the same level and cannot be compared."
Feng Yu spoke frankly: "Taking a business jet is the most convenient. You don't need to wait in line or wait for the time. You can fly as soon as you arrive. But the cost of chartering a plane is too expensive. A few flights will cost the annual salary of all the teachers in Chengguan School."
Jiang Ning nodded: "Then I'll buy a business jet too!"
Feng Yu was startled and quickly said, "Don't buy it, I was just talking casually."
Jiang Ning said, "I didn't fly much before, so I felt that chartering a plane was cost-effective. I will fly frequently in the future, and taking civil aviation is a waste of time. Chartering a plane is not cost-effective either. I can also buy a business jet. Besides, we will have to bring the children with us when we go out together in the future, so taking civil aviation is too troublesome. It is more convenient to take a business jet. The key is that there is so much money in the farm account that it will be wasted by the bank. I don't know how to spend it, and I don't plan to transfer it out. It is better to buy a business jet and enjoy it early."
Feng Yu opened his mouth, but no words came out.
She just said it casually without thinking.
I didn't expect the chemical reaction to happen.
After watching the plane come out, Jiang Hua and Cowboy flew to who knows where.
Jiang Ning ignored him and took his family to the machinery area.
Watching the workers repairing various agricultural machinery and preparing for the spring plowing season, I watched them start.
Various large tractors, as well as plows and sowing and harvesting machines.
Jiang Ning held his daughter and introduced Feng Yu and Feng Xue to the workers, receiving blessings from a group of American employees. So he happily slaughtered two sheep in the afternoon and held a bonfire party with his family and the employees.
I was happy until midnight and then went to bed.
