Little Life on An American Ranch
Chapter 154: bet
Chapter 154 Bet
Stepping onto the black beans, Jian Heng and the sisters Barley and Wheat started the early morning ride together.
"Come for a race?" Mai Mai reined in the horse after running a few steps, turned around and said to Jian Heng.
Jian Heng took the reins, made Heidou stop, and said with a smile, "Why, there is no money in my pocket again? Or do you want to come up with something else?"
The three of them have never raced horses since Black Dou ran a race last time. Today, Xiaomai suddenly remembered to race horses again. If Jian Heng thinks that the two simply want to race horses with him, then there is something wrong with his brain It's over.
"Why do you miss me so much?" Mai Mai looked at Jian Heng a little dissatisfied and said.
"Then what should I think of you? You are standard long-distance horses, and you can even pull on the track. What is my black bean? It's a crossbreed horse with a big frame." Jian Heng said while starting in his heart Figure it out.
The two sisters didn't know that Black Bean had made rapid progress after being trained by Jian Heng to use the space on the long distance. He would definitely not be able to win the fire lily and the mountains within one or two kilometers, but after three kilometers, it would be difficult to say who would win. After five kilometers, Heidou's chances of winning are great. As for after ten kilometers, according to Jian Heng's estimate, the combination of water lily and mountain range is no longer Heidou's opponent.
You know, Black Bean's stamina performance during this transition has won the praise of Old Walsh in private.
Old Walsh knew, but the two sisters didn't know, so Jian Heng planned to dig a hole for the two sisters, and let them jump into it.
Now Jian Heng wants to see the faces of the two sisters when they lost the game, not to mention watching, Jian Heng feels happy just thinking about it now.
Not to mention being teased by the two sisters for so long in the morning.
"Black beans run really well." Damai also started to help his sister.
"It seems that you two have a lot of thoughts!" Jian Heng said to the two sisters with a smile.
Mai Mai continued to look at Jian Heng, bit her lips in front of Jian Heng, and put on a **** look, maybe she felt that she was not tempting enough, so she gave Jian Heng a wink.
If it was the first time I saw the two sisters, Maimai's action would probably kill Jian Heng's soul, but after getting along for such a long time, it turns out that the mentality towards the beauty of the two sisters has long since changed .
It’s actually like a passer-by who sees an unfamiliar **** the street who is very beautiful and has an outstanding temperament, and also has a haughty look on her face, so she must feel that there must be a sense of distance between herself and her.
But if you become friends with this beauty, and get along with it for a long time, you will feel that the beauty is also an ordinary person, who also eats, drinks, and messes up, and sometimes makes some stupid mistakes and farts. No matter what time you come, it's quite intoxicating.
Let's put it this way, after a long time, the beauty's own breath of life will replace the unattainable beauty when you first meet.
So when Jian Heng saw Mai Mai's winking eyes, his heart swayed first, and then his back felt cold, and the coldness rushed straight to his forehead. He felt that this little girl had a big picture this time!
"The beauty tricks have been used, it seems that this time the matter is really serious!" Jian Heng stretched out his hand to remove the hat on his head, and gently scratched the top of his head with his little finger.
"Tell me, what do you want to bet on?"
Seeing that Mai Mai still wanted to talk, Jian Heng stretched out his fingers and said duh! Duh! Duh! voice, signaling her to stop defending herself.
"If you don't say anything, it will be like last time, and the bet will be invalid?" Jian Heng smiled and took Mai into the army.
Mai Mai turned her head to look at her sister Da Mai, saw Da Mai nodded slightly, and then said to Jian Heng: "It's like this, we are a sister whose father is going to run for parliament and wants to lose some weight. It's enough to lose 20 pounds, but he is very busy and doesn't have a lot of time to spend on exercise. All he can do is squeeze out forty minutes of running every day, but he can't Dieting too much, because it is necessary to have enough physical strength to cope with the campaign every day, so we want you to help him."
"What's wrong with this matter? Just pay the money, there's no need to race a horse with me, right?" Jian Heng became a little curious.
"It's impossible for his father to stay here for a month. You know he wants to be a senator. There are many activities to do and many people to meet. Unlike the Johnsons, who are businessmen, they can spend most of the time. Staying here, I only have conference calls with the company manager every day..." Mai said.
Jian Heng understands that this prospective senator wants to run for office and is dissatisfied with his body shape, so he wants to control his weight so that the public can look more pleasing to his eyes when they see him. American politicians usually pay attention to their appearance, so that more voters are willing to accept themselves.
In terms of appearance, politicians in capitalist countries may pay more attention to it. Unlike social countries, leaders are rarely thin.
But right now this person is going to run for office, but he is too busy to spend a lot of time on sports, let alone go to the ranch for a month or two. That is unrealistic.
A politician who doesn't appear in the political circle for a month or two for no reason, the day lily will be half cold by the time he shows up, not to mention that it's election time.
Excessive dieting will harm a person's energy, so this person wants to teach himself a special class.
"As long as you are willing to go to New York to join his campaign team, and finally get your weight under control, my friend is willing to pay you 100,000 U.S. dollars, and the remuneration is tax-deductible," Damai said.
Jian Heng stretched out his finger and shook it: "Let me think about it!"
The tax-free $100,000 is a trivial matter, but the three words of senator make Jian Heng feel a little attractive.
The weight of the U.S. senator is not light. There are only a hundred people in the country, which is quite important. Although this person has not been elected, since he has been elected, it means that this person still has something to do in New York.
Now what makes Jian Heng slightly embarrassed is that this guy can't come to the ranch, and he doesn't want to stay in New York, but he still wants to have such a relationship! Isn't there such a saying that sometimes being needed by others is also a kind of power.
Jian Heng didn't want to flatter any senator. As a rich man, as long as Jian Heng abides by the law, then generally speaking, he can live a prosperous life in the United States.
However, Jian Heng feels that his distance from politics is a bit unreliable. In fact, even in the United States, businessmen cannot completely leave politics, because no country can separate economy and politics so clearly.
What's more, Jian Heng is ready to get some diamonds if he has nothing to do here. Now this thing has nothing to do with survival. For Jian Heng, this is a different kind of stimulation. It's like some rich second generations like to talk about going to the supermarket to steal some small things. It's not about money, what they want is the excitement.
But the excitement is there, what if one day the boat really capsizes, wouldn't it be better to prepare an extra escape route?
"How is it?" Wheat asked.
Jian Heng raised his hand again: "Let me think about it!"
"What are you thinking about, isn't it just going to New York for a month?" Damai said.
The two sisters and the senator's daughter seem to be very close, otherwise they would not have such a strong will, and now seeing that Jian Heng is still thinking about it, I am a little anxious."
"Then let's have a race." Jian Heng was a little dizzy from her urging, thinking of running a lap first, and then slowly figure out a solution for the following things.
"Then let's play one game. If you agree to do this, we don't want you to accompany us to the concert." Xiaomai added another condition.
"The relationship between you and her is quite good," Jian Heng said.
Jian Heng still wanted to say something, but a human voice could be heard vaguely in his ears. He turned his head and looked around, and found that a person and a horse were galloping towards him, a little far away, but they came from the same posture. Look, it seems to be a woman.
Looked at the person coming for a while, and waited for the person to get closer, Jian Heng found that it was the youngest daughter of the O'Brien family, Rebecca.
Seeing Rebecca riding in front of him on a horse, Jian Heng curiously reached out to look at the watch on his wrist, and found that it was right, today is Friday.
"You didn't go to school at this time?" Jian Heng asked the panting Rebecca.
After greeting Damai and Xiaomai, Rebecca replied, "I skipped class today!"
Can actually say skipping class so confidently, Jian Heng can't say anything more.
"You can do it!"
Jian Heng didn't care about Rebecca's tone. In Jian Heng's eyes, she was just a little girl. If she had the same knowledge as her, his age would not be in vain.
Who knew that Rebecca's second sentence stunned Jian Heng.
Rebecca asked, "Where's your rooster?"
"What's the matter with the rooster? Didn't I say that when you go crazy at your house, you can beat it casually, and I'll pay you back if you kill it." Jian Heng thought that the high official had caused some trouble again, so he opened his mouth and said that he and the rooster in the past The promises the neighbors said were said again.
Rebecca waved her hand and said, "No, I haven't seen it for many days, and I'm a little worried about it."
"Worried about the cock?" Jian Heng felt that the things inside were not simple.
Rebecca said: "Yes, once your rooster leaves, our eggs will not taste good."
"Huh?" Jian Heng didn't quite understand.
Rebecca then began to explain a little to Jian Heng and the others.
Jian Heng understands that after being 'bullied' by high officials, the eggs laid by Rebecca's hens turned green, a bit like duck eggs.
Not only that, the egg is still a sun egg when it is beaten. What is a sun egg? It means that the yolk of a raw egg is red when it is beaten, and after frying, the yolk can still maintain a heavy orange color.
It looks better and tastes better! After the family got acquainted with the eggs, suddenly the rooster disappeared, and the original hen resumed laying the original eggs, which made Rebecca a little unwilling to eat, so she came to Jian Heng to find the chicken, and let her return The family hens continue to lay those extraordinarily delicious eggs.
