Little Life on An American Ranch
Chapter 167: meet by chance
Chapter 167 Meet by chance
Jian Heng didn't want to mention whether Xu Mei was not Xu Mei anymore, so he said: "Everyone is actually very busy and has no contact, and I am not in New York anymore, I moved to Montana, where birds do not lay eggs, the whole With a few acres of land, I am equivalent to a domestic farmer!"
Xu Guanning knew what Jian Heng was doing before? The relationship between him and his cousin Xu Mei is not as stiff as it was in school. He also heard Xu Mei talk about Jian Heng's New York situation. If it wasn't like this, Xu Guanning would kill him as soon as he answered the phone. Where is there any excuse not to excuse.
Bringing up Xu Mei is just an excuse to see Jian Heng's reaction. If Jian Heng is interested, he can bring this up as a topic.
In his eyes, relationships are just as good as they are, there are only bad ones, and there is no such thing as a bad relationship.
"Montana?" Xu Guanning was a little dumbfounded when he heard the name of the place. Generally speaking, Chinese people seldom have an impression of Montana. Some of them are big cities like New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. If Montana Don't even know it's American.
"Well, it's close to Canada, and the climate is almost the same as our Northeast's. It won't be long before it snows there," Jian Heng briefly introduced.
Xu Yinqun asked curiously: "What do you do there, you just run a farm. I heard that those who run farms and ranches in the United States are quite rich? Is this the case?"
Jian Heng replied: "That is to say, the gap between urban and rural areas in the United States is actually not that big. If you have a larger ranch or farm at home, your net worth will rise quickly. Near my home, there are millions of dollars worth of money. There are a lot of people here, but if you ask them to come up with one hundred thousand dollars all at once, they can’t come up with it. In fact, it’s a bit like the people in our first-tier cities in China. The property in the Ping School District is worth tens of millions. Can it be spent? No! But not everyone is like this. Now some wealthy people in the United States like to buy ranches, and these people’s ranches are very particular... ".
Jian Heng explained the situation to them.
Xu Yinqun said: "Damn, I thought all American farmers were like the ones we visited last year. There are two-story buildings with swimming pools, and almost fully automatic mechanized control."
"Do you think we Chinese are the only ones who can play prototype projects?" Jian Heng asked with a smile.
There are many full-scale farms in the United States, but the farms that have really achieved informationization are also particularly advanced farms in the United States. To do this, you have to have objective conditions.
First, you need to have enough land, four to five thousand acres, preferably in a place with a particularly suitable climate and soil, such as California, where it snows a year and half a year in Montana. The hundred-acre small farm is still dominated by mechanization.
Xu Guanning asked: "Do you raise cattle or grow crops?"
"I have a little bit of everything, mainly relying on body shaping services for people," Jian Heng said.
Hearing about the body sculpting service, Xu Guanning raised his finger and said to himself: "How do you think my body should be trained?"
Jian Heng is wrapped in clothes now, and looks a bit strong, but he is a bit far from the fitness person in the impression of Xu Guanning and Xu Yinqun, so people ask this question purely for fun.
"For fitness, you must first have time. You can't go fishing for three days and hang out on the net for two days. You civil servants who are willing to make progress are short of time!" Jian Heng said directly.
"Well, who's to say it's not? When things are done well, if the leaders are not satisfied, they will be scolded, and if they are not satisfied by the masses, they will be scolded. We are purely mice in the bellows, and we are getting angry at both ends." Xu Yinqun said with a sigh.
Jian Heng smiled when he heard this, and said in his heart: I think you will definitely disagree if you are asked to take off this layer of official skin!
That's it, when we talked about the ranch, everyone seemed to have a common topic, and the atmosphere became a little warmer.
About an hour later, after two bottles of wine, Sun Siwei went to pay the bill, and the four of them left the roast chicken shop.
When he left the door, Jian Heng's substitute driver had already arrived, a girl in her twenties, well-dressed.
"Hey, is that the driver you called?" The girl held the phone, saw Sun Siwei put the phone to her ear, and said to him.
The girl is wearing a gray sweater, with a white baseball cap on her head, two loops on the brim of the hat, a long strap hanging from the back of her head, six or seven holes in her trousers, and a pair of white Jordan shoes on her feet , this Jordan is genuine Jordan, not the domestic imitation brand.
"It's me!" Sun Siwei nodded and said a number.
Jian Heng saw someone coming, threw the car keys to the girl, and then waved to Xu Yinqun and Xu Guanning: "I'll send Siwei back, you two can do what you want."
"Don't leave tomorrow, I'm the host, really, let's get everyone together to have a good drink, and stop driving, okay?" Xu Yinqun didn't want to let Jian Heng go like this.
Jian Heng hurriedly put his hands together: "Next time, next time, I haven't had a home here for more than a year, and I am really homesick. I will definitely ask everyone if I come next time?"
Jian Heng was dissatisfied, but the so-called people who stretch out their hands and don't hit smiling faces still need the necessary courtesy. At this time, Jian Heng felt that suddenly he looked a little bit like he was doing filming again, and ghosts and monsters would deal with it with a smile on their faces. Things that used to be easy to eat, now suddenly feel very boring.
"Okay, then slow down." Xu Yinqun didn't want to show too much trace here, but people are in this place, and they are called classmates. After all, there are always opportunities. If you don't know, it's fine. A way to bring this relationship closer.
The girl took the key and was stunned immediately: "Wow, big run!".
Jian Heng turned to the passenger side, and opened the door: "Stop wow, hurry up and drive your car!"
As soon as the girl sat in, she touched this side and looked there excitedly, and then began to ask Jian Heng how to adjust these seats and other things.
There is no way, Jian Heng had to talk to the girl, then turned to Sun Siwei and asked, "I told you where you live, and I will take you back!"
"Send me to Xingbo Bridge!" Sun Siwei let out a breath of alcohol behind him.
Jian Heng called out the Xingbo Bridge, then signaled the girl to drive, and waited for the car to start, Jian Heng pushed down the window, and waved goodbye to Xu Yinqun and Xu Guanning who were standing by the roadside.
Waiting for the car to hear more than a hundred meters away, Sun Siwei suddenly said: "Hey, boring!"
"This world is too realistic!" Jian Heng also replied with emotion.
Originally, he was thinking about class reunions, be more enthusiastic, and not so much about renewing old things, but who knows that it has turned out like this now.
At this time, the girl driving the car said: "I said, you two uncles, you are too hypocritical, isn't it the same in the class reunion now, the good ones show off, and the bad ones are invisible even if they participate , the man and the woman saw each other right and found a room to spend the night warmly, and they are not good classmates when they lift their pants in the morning... ".
"Hey, girl, how old are you and call me uncle, I'm only twenty-five, okay?" Sun Siwei smiled and said to the girl driving in front.
The girl immediately yelled at him: "I am nineteen this year, and you are twenty-five. I am six years older than me, and three years old is a generation gap. You are two generations old, aren't you an uncle? I said you are so fine, why are you pretending to be young?" what".
"Girl, you have a lot of guts, so you don't have to worry about us two big men getting angry and killing people and throwing away corpses."
Jian Heng was amused by the little girl driving the car. It was the first time Jian Heng saw such a bold girl. To be honest, he had seen bad girls in the United States for so many years, but he had never seen such a bold girl.
The girl continued: "I said uncle, just like me who has no money and no color, you don't have much point in robbing, right? Besides, you drive such a big car, the little two million, go to the door of the bar, There is a bottle of pulsation on the roof of the car at the school gate, and some girls come up to it, why bother to kill people to silence them, so I think I am still safe, and I can also read pictures. Not like a bad guy."
"Hey! Are you interesting, girl?" Jian Heng was a little speechless when he was told by this girl.
"I'll drive for you, and you won't feel bored along the way! Otherwise, the uncle in the co-driver, where do you want to play tomorrow, I'll take you there, and I won't charge you too much. It's 800 yuan a day How about it?"
"Eight hundred a day isn't expensive for you?" Sun Siwei said with a smile.
The girl said: "Eight hundred a day is still expensive? Do you know the current market price? If you don't believe it, go online and look at the renter. It costs at least two hundred yuan an hour! I think you are renting the whole thing, and I have already given you a discounted price." It's...".
Jian Heng said with a smile: "Then you have missed your mark, I am not here for fun, I will go back tomorrow morning."
"What's the matter, we will see each other again someday!" the girl said happily.
"Hey, look at this little girl now, if you don't hold it down, you will go to heaven." Sun Siwei was also amused by the girl.
Not to mention anything else, but the journey with this girl is indeed not boring, this Jian Heng can be regarded as a real experience.
Sun Siwei lives in a remote place, and it is still a quite old community.
"Okay, I'll come down, don't send it in, old Jane, it's hard to get out of this community!" Sun Siwei motioned for the girl to stop the car at the gate of the community, then opened the door and walked down.
Jian Heng yelled at him: "Alright then, I'll treat you to dinner when I get back."
"Come on! Girl, drive carefully." Sun Siwei patted the girl's car window and whispered.
"Don't worry, your friend will be delivered safely," the girl said loudly, patting her small chest.
Watching Jian Heng's car leave, Sun Siwei did not enter the community, but took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, put one in his mouth, lit it slowly, and smoked in a muffled voice as he walked. Then, after a few intersections, there was a village in the city, and Sun Siwei turned in.
Waiting for the car to get on the main road, Jian Heng asked the girl, "Do you go to school or work?"
"What do you think?" the girl asked.
"I can't see it." Jian Heng said honestly: "Go to school, it doesn't look like it, you don't have that kind of student spirit, you are too smart, and you don't look like a part-time job. Looking at your body again, it is true that you are not five or six Thousands of yuan can’t come down at all.”
"Now a pair of shoes is less than 800 yuan, do you have the nerve to say hello to others, uncle, you are too outdated" the girl wrinkled her nose and said to Jian Heng with a look of disgust.
"Okay, okay, okay, you are amazing!" Jian Heng said with a laugh.
Although he had known the girl not long ago, Jian Heng felt that talking to her was more comfortable than talking to Xu Yinqun and Xu Guanning.
When the car arrived at the hotel, Jian Heng took the key from the girl.
After that, he took out fifty dollars from his pocket and handed it to her: "Here, this is for you!"
"I said uncle, you don't have any good intentions to worry about, right? I'm a decent person!" The girl didn't answer, and looked at Jian Heng with a wary face.
Jian Heng was dumbfounded by him, and he said to her: "What are you thinking, you are a girl who hasn't grown up, I don't have any heart, this is a tip for you, thank you for your service today!"
"Because you are still living abroad, I will thank you for tipping!" The girl lifted the money from Jian Heng's hand, and touched it with a smile, as if to verify whether it was fake money.
Seeing the happy look of the girl, Jian Heng seemed to be infected as well, and turned around with a smile on his face and walked into the hotel lobby.
