Little Life on An American Ranch

When all the people were sitting together, Jian Heng knocked on the cup first, stood up and signaled everyone to listen to him, raised his wine cup, and motioned to everyone.

"I have worked hard for you all these days when I went out! Let me offer you a toast first. We can drink as much as we want, as much as we want." do.

All the people sitting also raised their glasses, raised their heads, and drank all the wine in the glasses. Only Barley and Wheat were not very used to Chinese baijiu, so they only took a sip before paying attention. Focus on the 'dragon' carved by Zhao Changshan.

"I asked you two if you can stop poking that thing with a fork, I'm upset when I see it," Jian Heng said.

The two were sitting directly opposite Jian Heng. As soon as the wine glass was put down, Jian Heng saw the two of them poking the tofu dragon with their forks like curious babies.

"It's beautiful! Don't you think so?" Damai looked up at Jian Heng and said.

"Pretty?"

As soon as these two adjectives came out, except for Zhao Changshan who was beaming, the rest of the table began to hold back their laughter, and even Feng Sanzhu, who was usually serious and a little slow, couldn't help being happy.

"Isn't it pretty? It really looks like a dragon!" Seeing the playful expressions on the faces of the people around him, Mai Mai asked puzzledly.

In the eyes of Westerners, this tofu dragon may really look like a three-pointed dragon, with a fat belly and a big head, but to the Chinese, it looks like a dragon or a pig.

"Sister Damai, Miss Mai, your hats are so pretty!" Zhao Wei looked at the tiger-headed hats on the heads of the two sisters, and praised them aloud.

In Zhao Wei's view, the appearance of the two sisters wearing tiger-headed hats looks like the tofu dragon on the table, which is very funny. In Zhao Wei's hometown, only milk babies wear this thing. Now the two beautiful American beauties Wearing it, it looks a bit awkward.

When the two sisters heard this, they immediately became happier, and they said together: "Yes, I also think it looks good. I just took a photo and posted it on the Internet. Many people liked it."

As he spoke, he seemed to feel that his words were not convincing, so he directly took out the phone, pulled out his own photo, stood up and stretched it out in front of Zhao Wei.

"Yo, more than 2,000 people are fans," Zhao Wei praised.

"It's amazing." Damai was very proud.

For foreigners,

When they look at Chinese culture, they like to see this kind of distinctive things, such as Gucci and the like. At most, they can make them feel that you are rich, but they are definitely not as lethal as gizmos with Chinese characteristics.

For foreigners, understanding Chinese culture has gradually become a fashion. Jian Heng once saw an American family who claimed to like Chinese culture, and hung a couplet in the middle of the living room, and there was a positive one and a negative one. Yes, they couldn't tell the pros and cons of Chinese characters. When Jian Heng reminded them, the family felt awkward after hanging up the characters, and hung them up again after Jian Heng left.

Everyone sat around to eat together, and there was no routine of persuading them to drink. After Jian Heng made a speech, everyone at the table chatted with each other.

Jian Heng chatted with Zhao Changshan for a few words, and remembered about Yao Chang and Mr. Yao, so he lightly tapped the wine dispenser in front of him with his chopsticks.

when! when!

After two crisp sounds, seeing that everyone's attention was focused on him, Jian Heng said: "I forgot one thing, an old man with excellent massage skills will come over in a few days, Jialiang, please prepare for it." Where to live, the old man has a bit of a weird temper, please bear with me, and don't bother others if you have nothing to do."

After speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, stood up and bent down, and handed it to Zhang Jialiang: "This is what the old man wants, see if you can buy it nearby, if not, I will look at it next time I go to New York Look"

"Are you going to New York? When?" Mai asked with her mouth open.

"In four or five days, I'm going to deliver vegetable juice to Xu Zhaobin," Jian Heng said.

As soon as Xiaomai heard it, she understood that this was still her own job, and that her good friend's father was going to run for the senator.

"Okay, that's it for Dagai." After Jian Heng finished speaking, he turned to chat with Zhao Changshan.

Zhao Changshan frowned after hearing this: "How nice it is to eat together, why do you still want to do it separately?"

Jian Heng smiled and said: "Life, if you don't do anything, then what is life? By the way, how is your vegetable field doing?"

"That's right, we've already eaten the first crop of green vegetables." Having said that, he stretched out his finger to the pot of vegetable soup on the table: "Here, here is the first crop of green vegetables we grew ourselves!"

"That's what I need to taste!" Jian Heng said, picked up a spoon and scooped up a tablespoon of vegetable soup and drank it.

It's no different from ordinary vegetable soup. There is no difference in the taste of green vegetables, at most, there is a difference between salty and light.

"Not bad!" Jian Heng praised slightly.

Zhao Changshan said: "Don't mention this, I have something to tell you. Winter is coming soon. Plastic sheeting alone can't solve the problem of winter. At least we need to build a greenhouse here. Of course, it is best to have a greenhouse".

Thinking that there are fresh vegetables to eat all year round at home, and there are still nearly a million dollars lying in Jian Heng's space, Jian Heng nodded: "Okay, then I will ask Ceresto tomorrow, it seems How much does a greenhouse cost?"

"Use wood?" Zhao Changshan asked subconsciously when he heard that he wanted to find Ceresto.

Jian Heng glanced at him: "What are you going to do? Use bricks? The price should not be half as expensive."

The United States is different from China, where wood is everywhere, but bricks, stones, and sand are troublesome. It is too expensive to build a house with domestic reinforced concrete, so it is better to build it with pure solid wood.

"It's okay, but I didn't turn back for a while," Zhao Changshan said with a smile.

"Forget it, don't forget tomorrow, I'll call Ceresto right now and ask him to come and have a look tomorrow morning, and I have to pick up the goods at noon." Jian Heng touched He took out his cell phone, stood up, walked outside the porch, and dialed the phone.

Ceresto has been worrying about business these past few days, because Montana is about to enter winter, and there must be less construction work. Now that he receives a call from Jian Heng, he naturally has an enthusiastic expression on his face tomorrow morning. arrive.

After a brief chat, Jian Heng turned back to the table and continued to eat. Everyone chatted while eating, and it took almost an hour to finish the dinner.

Zhao Changshan and the others cleared up the table, and took all the dishes and chopsticks back. Jian Heng sat alone on the sofa on the frame, looking at the sky above his head. There are many clouds in the sky tonight, and there are no stars or a crescent moon. It is also made to appear and disappear by the clouds.

Whoops, whoops!

Just when Jian Heng looked up at the sky and let his thoughts go, he heard a howling sound. Following the sound, it turned out that Winnie the Grizzly was kicking his ass and trying to crawl to Jian Heng's side.

At some point, the little guy Pooh ran to Jian Heng's side.

Seeing its appearance, Jian Heng stood up from the sofa with a smile, walked to Pooh's side, and stretched out his hands on its stomach to lift it up.

"Hey, how did you feed you? It's only been two weeks since I saw you and you've gained a few pounds!"

As soon as he got his hands on it, Jian Heng tried to find out that Pooh had gained weight, and he had gained a pound or two. Looking carefully, he found that the little guy had grown up a whole circle, and he couldn't reach the surface of the porch at first. On the ground, both front paws can rest on the floor of the gallery frame.

"If you're tall, why can't you have a heart!" Jian Heng caressed Pooh's head twice.

Obviously there are stairs coming up from there, but this little silly bear will only take the shortest way. It is a kind of way to open a road when encountering mountains and build bridges when encountering water. He came straight to the owner Jian Heng.

Sitting back on the sofa, Jian Heng just raised his head when he heard some movement around him. When he lowered his head, he found that Pooh was struggling to climb onto the sofa.

Smiling, he scooped up Pooh and put it next to him.

As soon as Pooh arrived on the sofa, he rolled up his body, lay down beside Jian Heng, leaned his head against his master Jian Heng's legs, and opened his eyes lazily, not knowing what he was looking at.

Jian Heng put his hands on Pooh. It has to be said that the two women took good care of Pooh. The whole hair is smooth, and when you stretch out your hands, it feels like you are touching silk, which is called smooth.

One person and one bear were enjoying the quiet night in such a quiet way. After almost ten minutes, Pooh sat up straight, staring at the corner of the room with his two little bean eyes.

Jian Heng was also idle, following its gaze and following it, not long after, he found the head of the gray rabbit Erhu emerged from the night.

Seeing the two tigers, Pooh was very happy, and immediately got off the sofa to slide to the floor to play with the two tigers. Pooh didn't jump off the sofa, but like a child, he first lay on the sofa, and then his two short legs The legs kept falling, and while falling, they kept swinging the two short legs, trying to test whether they reached the floor.

Jian Heng watched Pooh slide down with a smile, and then heard a soft thud, the little guy didn't catch it all at once, and sat down on the floor.

It wasn't very high either, and as soon as it hit the ground, Pooh ran towards the two tigers bumping up and down.

As an adult rabbit, Erhu is not tall, but the height of several tens of centimeters is nothing to it, so he jumped onto the floor of the gallery and started playing with Pooh.

Pooh seemed to like the long ears of the two tigers, so he hugged Xu Xu and bit them. The bear and the rabbit had a lot of fun.

Jian Heng is also staring at the two little things playing in a daze. It seems that the way the two little things are playing is very interesting in his eyes, and there is a smile on the corner of his mouth while watching.

At this time, a word popped into Jian Heng's head: Is this called life? ()
