Chapter 83

Today is the day for the move, and also the day for the Grizzly Ranch to be renamed and officially opened.

Garcia moved quickly, and in just two days, he had the workers clean up the entire living area. Everything that needed to be replaced was replaced. He even set up a room similar to Fangfang's room in the Garden Ranch.

"Andy, can we finally move over today?" Charlie asked. These past two days, he and Robert had stayed at the Garden Ranch, eagerly looking forward to the racetrack at the Grizzly Ranch.

"I've been telling you to go over and play, but you didn't want to," Liu Yuxuan said.

"You haven't moved in yet, how could we go over conveniently?" Charlie countered.

"Rodriguez, are all the guests here?" Liu Yuxuan asked.

The Grizzly Ranch is a large ranch in Brown Springs, and Liu Yuxuan has a high reputation in the town. Many people from the town were going to attend this event.

Everyone agreed to gather at the Garden Ranch first, then drive together to the Grizzly Ranch for the opening ceremony and to celebrate Liu Yuxuan's move.

"Boss, everyone is here. Should we leave now?" Rodriguez asked as he approached.

"Sure, let everyone know we're leaving," Liu Yuxuan nodded and said.

More than 20 cars slowly drove out of the Garden Ranch.

Leading the way was Liu Yuxuan's Ford pickup, with Liu Yuxuan, Michelle, Fangfang, and the small animals living in the house inside.

Following behind were the vehicles of the friends who came to celebrate. Since many of the ranch owners also use pickups, the last few trucks carried Flame, the three calves, their mothers, the deer family, and even a special truck for the large tortoise.

When the convoy arrived at the gate of the Grizzly Ranch, Garcia had already led the ranch workers to prepare.

The large, dark gates of the ranch were wide open, leading to a long road that stretched into the distance, lined with tall French plane trees on both sides.

Although the temperature was already high, the road under the shade of the plane trees was very quiet, making people feel naturally cool.

Above the ranch gate, a huge ranch sign was wrapped in red silk.

Garcia led the ranch workers to form two lines on either side of the open gate. The cowboys were mounted on their horses, dressed in their best, waiting to welcome the new owner.

The cowboys who didn't know Liu Yuxuan had heard from Garcia that the boss was very good, and as long as you worked hard, you would get more than you expected.

The cowboys who knew Liu Yuxuan were even more excited.

Garcia had originally thought about setting off fireworks according to Chinese tradition, but later realized that with so many horses, it could cause trouble if they got spooked, so he decided against it.

"Boss, welcome home," Garcia said to Liu Yuxuan as he got out of the car.

"Good job, Garcia. The arrangements are excellent. What's next?" Liu Yuxuan praised, not having asked about the details, leaving everything to Garcia.

"Boss, just follow the cowboy procession. When we reach the inner courtyard, we can hold the celebration ceremony," Garcia said.

Seeing the boss was very satisfied, Garcia felt much more at ease. It was his first time organizing such a grand event, and he was afraid of making a mistake and embarrassing the boss.

The cowboys turned their horses and slowly moved forward. Liu Yuxuan, watching from behind, felt like he was part of a parade.

The ranch owners following behind were also discussing, admiring the environment of the Grizzly Ranch.

After arriving at the inner courtyard, Liu Yuxuan parked his car in the parking lot.

As he walked over, the cowboys had already reformed into two lines, standing on either side of the inner courtyard gate.

After passing through this gate, it was the living area of the ranch. The renaming ceremony would take place here.

"Boss, is there anything else you need to prepare?" Garcia asked as he approached Liu Yuxuan.

"No, we can start," Liu Yuxuan said, looking around.

"Welcome everyone. Now, please welcome my boss, the owner of the ranch, Mr. Andy, to speak," Garcia said, handing the microphone to Liu Yuxuan.

"I didn't expect Garcia to give me a surprise," Liu Yuxuan said with a smile, and the people around him also smiled kindly.

"I've been in America for a long time, and here I've made many friends and received a lot of help."

"When my vegetables started to yield some results, everyone spontaneously celebrated for me, which moved me deeply. Coming to America has given me a different experience from China."

"When I first learned to ride a horse and got lost, it was our sheriff, Martin, who found me. Otherwise, I might have ended up with the wolves."

Everyone knew about this. Flame had carried Liu Yuxuan through two ranches, running a long distance. It was also during that time that everyone got to know Flame better.

At this moment, the horse ranch owner Pete clapped enthusiastically.

"Here, I also want to thank my two cowboys, Garcia and Rodriguez." As he spoke, Liu Yuxuan raised his hand to point at them, gesturing for everyone to look.

"Before, I had no experience running a ranch. I knew nothing about these things. It was these two who managed the ranch so well."

"Without them, my ranch wouldn't have developed so quickly. I want to thank them here." As he spoke, Liu Yuxuan bowed to Garcia and Rodriguez.

Garcia and Rodriguez quickly returned the gesture. They were also very excited. For the boss to praise them on such an important day made them feel it was worth following him.

"Here, I also want to thank my two friends, Charlie and Robert. With their help, I had the opportunity to acquire the Grizzly Ranch. I also want to thank Allen. Without him, we might not have had the chance to hold this ceremony here."

After speaking, Liu Yuxuan nodded to the three of them and subtly nodded to the direction where Jack was. He didn't mention Jack to avoid causing him trouble. He believed Jack would understand.

"This year, the drought in Texas is quite severe," Liu Yuxuan continued, "I wish everyone can get through this. During this difficult time, I hope everyone can help each other and overcome the challenges. I also hope we all have a good harvest this year."

The ranch owners below applauded Liu Yuxuan's blessings. For them, this was the best blessing.

"Thank you all for coming. After the ceremony, there will be a celebration party. I hope everyone can stay and join us." After speaking, Liu Yuxuan bowed deeply to everyone.

Everyone applauded again.

"Mayor Jerry, do you have anything else to say to everyone?" Liu Yuxuan turned and asked Mayor Jerry of Brown Springs in a low voice.

Mayor Jerry shook his head and said, "I have nothing else to say. You said it well. I also hope everyone can get through this difficult time."

This year's drought is very severe, and it is the biggest concern for Mayor Jerry. In the southern and western parts of Texas, some small ranches are already facing survival issues. This is why Brown Springs, located in the eastern part of Texas, near the Gulf of Mexico, is the area with the least severe drought in the entire state.
