Little Life on An American Ranch

He picked up his younger sister who was sleeping like a piglet, gently put it aside, and covered her with a blanket.

When Jian Heng sat up from the bed, he immediately felt that his waist was sore and his back hurt. He raised his hand and saw that he had slept for more than three hours. Thinking about it, he didn't know how long he had been a human cushion for this little girl. Pain is a strange thing.

After leaving the room, she heard her mother's happy voice on the second horizontal building, and she was talking about her complacency when she gave the ceremony this afternoon. It can be seen that Sun Xiuying let out a fierce breath today.

Sun Xiuying was talking happily when she saw her son coming up from downstairs, so she asked with a smile, "Have you had enough sleep?"

"Enough sleep!" Jian Heng smiled at his mother.

"Where's your sister?" Sun Xiuying asked again.

Jian Heng stretched out his finger downstairs: "Still asleep!"

Jian An'an said with a smile at this time: "I ran with Xiao An almost all afternoon today, let alone a child, our fool has not woken up yet!"

The fool Jian Anan was talking about was naturally her husband Yang Bin.

"Raising children is already tiring, so Xiaobin is naturally tired!" Sun Xiuying said something for her son-in-law, and then she said to her siblings: "Hurry up, wake up everyone, and get ready for dinner right away!"

Hearing what their mother said, Jian Heng and his siblings immediately turned around and went to wake up the three sleepy slobs for dinner.

After the family sat around and had dinner, and saw off the son-in-law and his family, Sun Xiuying began to prepare things for Jian Heng, mainly some specialties from her hometown. No matter what Jian Heng said, Sun Xiuying had to prepare.

After saying a few words, Jian Heng didn't want to say anything more, no matter what he said, it was all the love of his parents, so Jian Heng stopped talking and let his mother prepare.

In addition to preparing for Jian Heng, there is also something for He Ye. They are all food. Sun Xiuying knows that people can afford millions of cars. Even if there is something missing at home, she can't help. , so I prepared some souvenirs, which can be regarded as a way of expressing my heart.

In short, it took until half past eleven before Sun Xiuying finally sorted it out. Some things that were not easy to break were put in the trunk of the Mercedes-Benz first, and those that were easy to break were put in the refrigerator first.

Early the next morning, Jian Heng received the contract from the United States, and Zhang Jialiang also helped translate a copy in Chinese, that is, one in Chinese and one in English.

Jian Heng found a printing shop on the street and printed out the contract.

He went straight to the old man's house, and after signing the contract, he took old man Yao to the county public security bureau to apply for a passport. By the way, he also used a domestic passport to get a passport in case of emergencies.

After working until noon, Jian Heng treated the old man to a meal, and then sent the old man home again, so it was half past two in the afternoon.

When Jian Heng returned to the door of his house, he was immediately frightened by the momentum of the door.

Originally, there were only a few small cars scattered on the four-meter-wide bicycle lane outside the tree altar on the sidewalk at the door of the house. My good guy, now I saw that it was full of cars parked in front and back, and there were about ten more cars than usual.

Fortunately, there was still a gap in front of the house, so Jian Heng parked the car in.

After parking the car, I got out of the car and wanted to go to the small shop at home to get something to drink. Who knew that when I got to the door, I found that the door of my small shop was locked, and there was a sign on the glass door: closed !

"Where did this go?" Jian Heng thought his parents had gone out, so he walked home while muttering.

Pushing open the door, the black tiger came out with a sprung up, circling around its master. Jian Heng scratched Heihu twice, then turned around and entered the store through the back door, touched a drink, and walked to the second floor while drinking. When he reached the stairs, he heard a mess of people on the second floor.

When Jian Heng saw the scene on the second floor, he couldn't help hissing, and saw that the large living room of about 60 or 70 bungalows was crowded with people, not to mention the sofa, even the small bench was occupied , Just like this, there are still a few people standing, including my own father and mother.

"Yo, Xiao Heng is back!"

Seeing Jian Heng's head popping out, the middle-aged man in his forties who was the first to spot Jian Heng instantly had a smile on his face, pulled the cigarette out of his mouth, and opened a mouthful of yellow teeth. Grinning at Jian Heng.

"So it's Brother Fifth! Hello, hello!" Jian Heng smiled at him, and walked into the living room while drinking a drink.

Before waiting for others to speak, Jian Heng said to everyone: "You are chatting with my parents, I have been busy all morning, so I won't accompany you!"

After speaking, Jian Heng walked to his bedroom on the third floor.

What are these people here for? Don't you expect to get something from Jian Heng, the little brother, nephew, or uncle of the clan? Now, seeing that this person is going upstairs to avoid everyone as soon as he enters the house, some people are dissatisfied soon up.

"I said Xiao Heng, how can I say that I am also your elder, and this elder came to visit and left without saying hello?" A man in his fifties said unhappily.

Jian Heng turned his head to look at him, searching his mind for the memory of this person while looking at him, he hadn't seen these people for many years, and many Jian Heng didn't know him anymore, but luckily this Jian Heng thought about it After a while, I can tell the difference.

In fact, Jian Heng grew up in the county almost since he was a child, and he doesn't know much about the relatives in his hometown. The ten people who could be distinguished in the past have gone to **. Today, there are a lot of people in this house, old and small. no impression,

"So it's Uncle Nine!" Jian Heng laughed at him, then turned around and took back his feet that had already stood on the steps.

When Uncle Jiu saw that Jian Heng still remembered him, he immediately let out a hum from his nose!

When he arrived in the living room, he smiled at his Uncle Jiu: "Okay, then let's hear what's going on with everyone!"

Then he turned his head and looked around: "I remember some people here, and I don't remember some people, no matter what, everyone is welcome to come to our house as guests!"

Jian Zhenhua opened his mouth and said, "Xiaoheng, your uncles and nephews are here today to discuss something with you!"

"Discuss with me?" Jian Heng pointed to the tip of his nose and smiled: "I'm in my twenties, and my beard hasn't grown yet. If you want to discuss something with me, can't you discuss it with my parents? "

As he spoke, Jian Heng scanned the audience with his eyes.

It's just that Jian Heng is pretending to be stupid when he said this. These people have no second purpose for coming here other than money. Even if they didn't come here for money today, they are planning to see the limelight and get some benefits from themselves when they have the opportunity.

"What you said is that over 20 of you have made such a big family business in the United States! You can't discuss things with you, who can you discuss things with?"

At this time, another old man sitting on the sofa said.

What a coincidence, this Jian Heng also knows this old brother of the same generation, although he is over sixty, but his generation is the same as Jian Heng, even if he sees Jian Zhenhua, he has to bow his head and call him uncle.

There is no way, the seniority is there, and the difference in seniority is naturally impossible to talk about age, let alone an uncle at birth, a milk baby who has just landed, is the ancestor of an old man in his sixties.

"Okay, it's okay to discuss things if you want, but I have a saying before, things can be discussed, don't talk about money! Talking about money hurts feelings!" Jian Heng directly dropped this sentence.

As soon as this sentence was uttered, the whole living room could hear it.

Snapped! Snapped!

Jian Heng clapped his hands, smiled and said to everyone sitting in the living room: "Okay, now everyone has something to discuss with me!"

After speaking, Jian Heng crossed his fingers and put his hands on his stomach, stretched his head slightly, and waited for someone in the group to speak.

These people came here today because they saw Jian Zhenhua and Sun Xiuying driving a car worth hundreds of thousands of yuan to go back to pay the account yesterday, so they took advantage of the time when the fourth master Jian Zhenming was cremated in the city, and some people were already thinking about it. Alright, I want to ask Jian Heng to give away the 50,000 to 60,000 yuan for my illness.

In these people's minds, all they think is that you have made a fortune in the United States, and bought hundreds of thousands of cars for my mother to drive as soon as I came back. As a fellow of the same family, my fifty or sixty thousand dollars is not you How much for a meal? Would you mind if you don't help me out?

These people didn't think about it, why would they save a few meals and pay your medical expenses! Can Jian Heng grow up eating your family's food?

Jian Heng's line has been passed down for several generations, but in Jian Heng's generation, there are no real cousins, let alone Jian Heng, Jian Heng's great-grandfathers have no real cousins, so these people sitting in the living room now , even according to the ancient ceremony, it can be regarded as the fifth service, not to mention that it has little relationship with Jian Heng, and it has little relationship with Jian Zhenhua, so the couple came back after just giving a ceremony yesterday, not Need to appear at the funeral all the time, five clothes have already been issued, there is no need to wear filial piety.

This doesn't mean that the relationship between the two families is not good, but that the rural areas are rational. You don't have to do things that you shouldn't do, or you will offend others. Just like this time, if Jian Zhenhua goes to help, then Jian Zhenming Several of my brothers and cousins ​​must be dissatisfied.

Of course, it was the past to be dissatisfied. Now that Jian Zhenhua's family is rich, such dissatisfaction will naturally disappear. But Jian Zhenhua and his wife were afraid of getting into trouble with Jian Zhenming's brothers.

"Xiao Heng!"

Jian Heng turned his head to look, and found that the person who was speaking was the daughter of the fourth master Jian Zhenming's family, that is, Jian Heng's elder sister. It's just acquaintance, and the relationship was pretty good when I was young, so I was two years older than Jian Heng.

"I said Third Sister, what are you doing here?" Jian Heng asked curiously.

It is said that she is the third sister, but she is actually an only daughter. Seeing her, Jian Heng was very strange. Since it was my father's cremation today, why did you come here as a girl?

It's just that Jian Heng doesn't know that the crematorium in the county is not far from here, and it takes more than ten minutes to drive west, and this group of people also urged her to come here because she has the best relationship with Jian Heng's family.

When Sun Xiuying heard this, she immediately interjected, "Weiwei, you should go back!"

Jian Wei nodded immediately when she heard that: "Okay, I'm leaving, auntie!"

Jian Wei is not stupid, if she hears Jian Heng's words about money, she will stop talking about it, knowing that all the plans of these people in the room will come to naught, and her family is on good terms with Jian Heng's family, so naturally she doesn't want to please people here When she needs to ask for help, her affection is naturally there. As for other people, she can't care about them, let alone she knows what this group of people used to look like when compared to the red tops and whites.

Before saying hello to everyone, Jian Wei led Xiao Pao downstairs.
