Little Life on An American Ranch
Chapter 338: back to the ranch
Chapter 338 Back to the Ranch
The whole family struggled for almost a day before flying from Shanghai to Kalispell Airport in Montana. Except for Jian Heng, both Jian Zhenhua and Sun Xiuying looked listless. As for the girl Ningning, she directly Fell asleep in Jian Heng's arms.
"Why is it so cold!" Sun Xiuying wrapped her coat tightly, still shivering a little, the old lady felt a little uncomfortable when she came from the warm south of the Yangtze River to the snowy northern weather.
"This is the weather here, just wait until you get used to it." Jian Heng changed Ning Ning, who was wrapped like a little brown child, from a horizontal hug to a vertical hug, and walked towards the exit with his parents who had taken out the small bag.
"Mom, look, Damai and Maimai are here to pick us up." Walking through the passage and turning a corner, they saw Damai and Ermai holding a sign in their hands at the exit, which read crookedly: Welcome to the United States !
Jian Heng knew at a glance that the words must have been written by the two of them, but the words must not have been said by the two of them, either Zhao Changshan or Zhang Jialiang's idea.
Sun Xiuying followed the direction of her son's fingers and saw two beautiful foreign girls with high nose bridges at a glance. Seeing that they were still holding a cardboard in their hands, they couldn't close their mouths with joy when they read the words on it clearly: "These two children, look at these small characters, if you don't know it, you will think that you are separated. Woolen cloth!"
What Sun Xiuying was joking about was the Chinese writing of barley and wheat. The original seven characters were almost written three more by them. The left and right structures were all written in two characters. Needless to say.
"Well, these two children are really good-looking!" Jian Zhenhua was satisfied with the height of the two daughters-in-law, and felt that his own grandson could be guaranteed at this height.
Damai and Mai also saw Jian Heng at the same time, so they naturally knew that the man and woman standing next to Jian Heng were Jian Heng's parents, and the sleeping girl in Jian Heng's arms was his future sister-in-law. up.
"Mr. Jane, Mrs. Jane welcomes you to America!"
As soon as they met, Damai and Wheat spoke to the old couple in Chinese, and while speaking, they reached out and hugged the old couple.
Sun Xiuying's side was fine, but Jian Zhenhua felt as if he was going to hang himself after being hugged by Barley and Wheat, and his whole body was tense, as if I was suffering.
"Okay, okay, my dad can't stand this traditional Western-style etiquette, you should shake hands in the future." Jian Heng saw that his dad looked like a mouse caught under the claws of a cat, and immediately gave the wheat lightly. pulled away.
Handed the little girl in his hand to Damai's arms, and then gave the things to Maimai to let her take the old couple to pick up the luggage, while he was pretending to pick up Heihu.
Everything went smoothly. When Jian Heng took Heihu out of the airport, he saw his own car at a glance.
"How about I drive?" Jian Heng brought Heihu into the back seat of the car, and then said to Damai.
"Take a break. Wheat was driving when you came here. I'll drive it this time." Damai said as he sat in the driving seat.
Jian Heng was sitting in the back seat, seeing Mai Mai hugging his younger sister, which made the little girl sleep very uncomfortable, and her small face was wrinkled, so he reached out and took the girl into his arms.
Ning Ning opened his eyes at this moment, and when he saw that it was his brother, he closed his eyes beautifully. When he continued to sleep, he reached out and grabbed Jian Heng's clothes.
"How is it? Is there anything going on at home?" Jian Heng asked.
Barley said: "It's nothing, but a lot of people are leaving. The fund hopes to change a group of people to come. I have been pressing this matter and waiting for you to come back to make a decision."
Jian Heng listened and said: "Next time they ask again, you just refuse!"
Now that Jian Heng has money in his pocket, he no longer needs the fund to intervene. In addition, he was planning to change his management style, so it is just right now that the old students of the fund have left, and it is time for him to part ways with the fund.
"No more money? Then we will only have about ten customers in the next month?" Mai Mai asked a little surprised.
If we don’t continue to cooperate with the fund, then in the middle of this month, there will be only a troublesome couple, a few small models, and Peter the Great and the elf prince. There are less than ten students in the ranch.
"Wait for a while, I want to change the architectural style of the ranch, and then launch some other projects," Jian Heng said.
I had a talk with He Ye the day before yesterday, and Jian Heng also had a little idea in his mind. The Shanghai side mainly focuses on weight loss, and Montana is the headquarters, so they can no longer play weight loss. If you want to sell culture, you have to do something special Let's put it this way, Shanghai is promoting weight loss, so here Jian Heng is going to engage in health preservation. He must fool the Americans, especially the upper class in the United States, who are increasingly accepting Chinese-style health preservation.
Of course, Jian Heng’s health regimen is not the kind of health regimen in China, such as eating vegetarian food, but when you come to Jian Heng’s place, you have to eat Chinese food and live a Chinese-style life, such as taking a bath, sitting in a sitting, etc., doing nothing and not in the mood When you are good, write two strokes of calligraphy, calm down and cultivate your spirit, and get rid of the barbaric spirit of these people!
When Damai heard that Jian Heng had made up his mind, he didn't say anything more.
The three of them communicated in English, Jian Zhenhua and Sun Xiuying couldn't understand it, so the old couple could only smile and watch the three of them communicate.
Waiting for Jian Hengye to finish chatting about the ranch, Jian Heng then turned his attention to his father, Kai Ru, to introduce the surrounding situation to his parents.
"Dad, Mom, Barley and Wheat are still learning Chinese, and communication in Chinese is not very good. Don't worry, there will be more Chinese in the ranch," Jian Heng said with a smile.
"How far is it? Why hasn't the car arrived after driving for half an hour?" Sun Xiuying asked anxiously, looking sideways out of the window.
Sun Xiuying originally thought that the United States was particularly prosperous, and even the countryside was more prosperous than the countryside in China, but now when she arrived here, she felt that the gap between ideal and reality was too great as soon as she got off the plane.
Jian Zhenhua also interjected at this time: "Yes, if I didn't see cattle and sheep from time to time, I would have thought you were living in the deep mountains and old forests."
After hearing what the old couple said, Jian Heng replied with a smile: "It's still a while, don't worry, it's not like you can meet people everywhere in the country, it's not uncommon to drive here for ten minutes without seeing a single person or a car." There are things. The deep mountains and old forests you mentioned are similar, the population here is sparse, and there are far fewer people than cattle and sheep.”
Sun Xiuying said again: "No wonder, the city that was stuck just now doesn't even have a large city in our city, and there are almost no tall buildings. The four or five-story buildings are all sky-high. In this regard, it doesn't even have the grandeur of our small county town! "
"Mom, this is a way of life. No one lives in a tube building here. They are all small courtyards with one room. The big single-family houses with grass in the front and back of the door! Here, the land is sparsely populated, and the land is scarce. Cheap..." Jian Heng pointed out from time to time and explained to his parents.
After another period of time, the car arrived in the town, and Jian Heng said to his parents, "Okay, I'll be home soon, and I've arrived in the town."
The old couple took a look at the so-called small town, and didn't know what to say for a while. There were only seven or eight houses scattered on both sides of the road, and the road was still two-lane. Say this is a small town? In the eyes of the old couple, this is not even a small village.
"Oh, almost there!"
The tone of the old couple was a bit disappointed. The freshness of coming to the United States has almost disappeared by now.
Waiting for the car to arrive at the gate of the ranch, Jian Heng pointed at the gate to his parents: "I'm home!"
As soon as they heard that they were home, the old couple cheered up.
"This is our family's cattle farm?" Sun Xiuying couldn't remember the name of the ranch for a while, so she had to use cattle farm instead.
Hearing his son humming, Jian Zhenhua said, "This is our 40,000 mu of land?"
"Yes, after entering this gate, our home is inside. Legally speaking, no one can enter here without our permission. If he enters, we can directly shoot him to death," Jian Heng said. Then, he put down his sister lightly, got out of the car and opened the gate of the ranch, waited for the car to enter the gate, closed the gate again, and then returned to the car.
"These guys are really hardworking." Jian Heng got into the car, reached out and patted the wheat.
Not only on the door of the gate, but also on both sides of the entrance, there are red cloth slogans, which are written in Chinese to welcome Jian Zhenhua and his wife to come and guide such a very Chinese style thing.
