The two of them walked all the way to a cowshed a few hundred meters north of the worker's house.
They greeted the five cowboys who were responsible for the night watch.
They split up to check whether any doors or windows were not closed tightly.
After some inspection, Qin Yi and Ryan breathed a sigh of relief.
The doors and windows were closed tightly, and they felt it in the cowshed.
The temperature was more than ten degrees.
Such a temperature is already a very good condition for the cattle. of.
There is plenty of fodder, and there is hay on the ground for heating.
Overall, there will be no problem in weathering this snowstorm.
Lane ordered the cowboys to provide warm water to the cattle again.
Everyone felt happy watching the half-grown calves drinking water quietly.
These calves are the hope for the future of the ranch.
Not only Qin Yi's income depends on these calves, but the cowboys also rely on these calves for their livelihood.
Because of the precedent of the vineyard, Qin Yi also implemented a year-end bonus system in the ranch.
Similarly, 1% of the ranch's income is used as the year-end bonus for all employees.
As a result, cowboys work more seriously and with passion.
In fact, if the Cowboys work hard, it's not just about salary, it's also about reputation.
As cowboys with low academic qualifications who only know how to herd cattle, they will rarely do other jobs in their lives.
If the ranchers suffer losses due to negligence at work, it will be a serious blow to their reputation.
No one would want to hire a cowboy like this.
Therefore, all things considered, the Cowboys will do their jobs seriously.
After checking this cowshed, Qin Yi and Ryan went back.
The other cowsheds were far away, so they could only call the cowboys on duty to ask everyone to check them carefully and add some warm water.
It was more than an hour after we returned to the main house.
At this time, Susa and Sara were watching cartoons with the little girl when they saw Qin Yi coming back.
One went to prepare hot water for him to wash his hands and face, and the other prepared hot tea.
Qin Yi, who had run around, felt warm at this scene.
Time flows quickly in this warm atmosphere.
Soon it was bedtime.
It was snowing, and the little girl had no chance to play in the water under Susa's supervision.
However, there was Qin Yi's story.
Still satisfied, she fell asleep quickly.
Qin Yi and the three of them also fell asleep separately.
The little animals in the room were sleeping deeply around the fireplace, their bellies rising and falling.
There were crackling sounds from the fireplace from time to time, but it was even quieter.
The snowy night passed quietly like this.
Early the next morning, Qin Yi was awakened by the brightness outside the window.
He forgot to close the curtains yesterday.
At this time, the outside was covered in silver.
Under the reflected light, it was brighter than usual.
Looking at it, it hurt my eyes.
As the night passed, the snow had weakened a lot, and fine snowflakes were falling, not even as good as the light snow on Thanksgiving last time.
But now, the ground is covered with thick snow, and you can squint at it.
There is snow on the far side of the stable wall.
I estimate it is half a meter deep.

The cowboys were up and clearing the snow from the roofs.
The nearly half-meter-thick snow will put too much pressure on the house if it is not cleared away.
The snowstorm has not completely passed yet.
If there is another wave of snow of this level, the roof may collapse if it is not kept intact.
After washing up, I came downstairs.
The little girl had already gotten up and was "playing" with the sleeping animals by the fireplace.
To be precise, she was causing trouble.
She touched the little fox's head and scratched Teddy's big belly, which made several little ones who were still awake stretch out their arms.
Pushing with paws, then turning over and continuing to sleep Qin Yi came downstairs, and the little girl immediately let go of the little animal and ran towards him, jumping, "Uncle Yi, you got up so late."
Qin Yi's head was black.
It was only 6 o'clock in the morning.
It was not too late to get up at this time in winter.
It was rare for the little girl to get up earlier than me, and she even despised herself.
Fortunately, Angel didn't dwell on this topic.
She pulled him to go out and shouted: "Uncle Yi, let's go build a snowman and have a calf sled."
The little girl wore her own clothes today, including calfskin boots with tassels, a pink scarf and a light blue down jacket.
I don’t know how much effort it took, but she was still dressed neatly, unlike before.
I either tied the wrong shoelaces or buttoned the wrong buttons, which made me improve a lot.
"Angel, uncle still needs to clean up the snow.
Go and wake up mom and Aunt Sarah so they can play with you."
Qin Yi didn't use any force and just followed the little girl and was pulled out of the door, but the words in his mouth made the little girl stop.
She tilted her head and blinked her big eyes twice, "Then I'll help Uncle Yi."
After saying that, he ran back to the house.
After a while, he came out wearing a pair of small gloves with plush balls on the back.
He also held a plastic shovel in his small hands.
He planned to help Qin Yi shovel the snow.
Qin Yi smiled and did not refuse.
He took the little girl to the warehouse, took out a big shovel, and began to clear the snow around the house.
The snow on the lawn and on the road would still need to be cleared with a snowplow later.
It was half a meter thick.
There is so much snow that Qin Yi would be exhausted even with his physical strength if it were done purely by hand.
It is easier to clean up the snow around the house and under the porch by hand.
The gloves he was wearing were ones that Rachel had sewed for him two days ago.
They were finely made and had soft leather.
They were also flexible when holding things in their hands, making them easy to hold.
In the distance, the cowboys were cleaning the workers' houses and stables.
Even further away, there were a few small black spots busy in the cowshed.
They were the cowboys on night duty, and they had all gotten up to work.
On such a snowy day, there is no need to go out to graze.
The cowboys also have a little leisure and can have a drink around the fire.
Of course, after clearing the snow and feeding the calves, Now the grass in the pasture is growing very slowly.
After all, no matter how bad the spiritual spring water is, it is not a magic medicine.
The impact will have its limit.
Now that the weather can keep the grass from drying up, it has been said to be a miracle around Great Falls City.
However, when the snow melts, you can also go out to graze, but you have to control the scale carefully.

If the grass grows too slowly and cannot keep up with the consumption rate of the cattle, then these crisp and tender grasses will be eaten less.
It seems that from now on, silage will also be fed.
This is already very good.
Going out to graze every one or two days is much better than staying in the cowshed all day long in winter in other pastures.
Qin Yi and the little girl finished clearing the snow under the porch, and Susa and Sarah also came out.
They were dressed thickly, found shovels, and joined Qin Yi's snow shoveling team.
After a while, they were full.
Being sweaty is more of a workout than running in the morning At this time, Ryan moved forward in the half-meter-deep snow with staggering steps, "Yi, I just peeled away the snow and took a look.
The grass is fine, but after this snow, I'm afraid the grass will stop growing." " "There's nothing we can do about it," Qin Yi said as he kept moving his hands and cleared away the last bit of snow around the house.
"It's already very good.
Look at other people's grass.
It turned yellow a month ago." " "That's true" Ryan smiled and nodded.
He also felt that he was too greedy.
This kind of pasture was already the envy of the surrounding farms, so he should be satisfied.
In just the past six months, the pasture’s fodder cost has been reduced by half compared to previous years.
For a large pasture like Sun River Ranch, the cost savings over that year was several million dollars.
After saying hello, Ryan went to the warehouse and drove out the snowplow truck, and began to open up the passage from the main house, stables, workers' houses to the cowshed.
Then Qin Yi drove another snowplow truck and, together with Ryan, opened the passage leading to the pasture.
The road outside is cleaned.
This busy work was not completed until after 7 o'clock in the morning.
When we returned to the main house, the little animals had already gotten up.
Teddy once again played the boating game, with his round head buried in the snow, and his four legs kicking and pulling.
Snowflakes were splashing everywhere, and I was sliding around on the snow.
The little foxes Harry and Jasmine followed and jumped behind, while Shamei stood directly on Teddy's back to hitch a ride.
Maggie and the fox mother Luna are not interested in the heavy snow.
They have lived a hard life and don't like winter
