Little Life on An American Ranch
Chapter 347: family
Chapter 347 Family
Jian Heng can’t tell his mother that Mai Mai’s personality is one-on-one, and Americans are very straightforward, and there are not too many twists and turns of Chinese people. If they like it, they will definitely show it.
Considering that this is a cultural difference, Jian Heng opened his mouth and said: "If it's broken, it's not your son who I paid for it? Don't worry about it, Ning Ning just let her play if she likes it. Children's nature is like this, we also Don't hold her back."
Sun Xiuying was a little unhappy when she heard it: "You two have become good people in love, and I have made all the bad people alone. What will happen to this child if he doesn't teach him? If he is like the old Liu's girl, I will directly I'm going to drink pesticide!"
"Look at what you said, Ningning won't do it," Jian Heng said with a wry smile.
While talking, he thought to himself: Mom, you are good enough, let’s start thinking about it now!
"Who didn't boast about his daughter when she was young? Who would have thought that she would do such a thing when she grew up, and now her mother and father are almost crying every day." At Sun Xiuying's age, she must be nagging endlessly Understand.
The daughter of the Liu family studied well since she was a child, and was doted on by her parents and teachers. She developed an insolent personality. When she grew up, no one would dote on her in society. She had a boyfriend, because her boyfriend and a female colleague went out to K Song, originally a normal social relationship, she was unhappy, not only stabbed her boyfriend so hard that she couldn't take care of herself, but also stabbed that female colleague a few times, and ended up in a cell, and she has been in it for seven or eight years. It hasn't come out yet, don't say how much the family has lost, Guan Jian is still cheating the old Liu's family, raising a daughter, and leaving the house in vain.
Jian Heng immediately stretched out his hand to hold his mother's arm: "I know, it's okay if I'm wrong?"
After finishing speaking, he said to Ningning with a straight face: "Don't do this in the future."
Ning Ning was afraid that it was Sun Xiuying. For her brother, the little girl was not afraid at all. After blinking her eyes, she lowered her head and played with the fluffy big tail of instant noodles.
"Look, I know I'm wrong, and I'm even embarrassed by what I said." Jian Heng gestured to Ning Ning, who bowed his head, to his mother.
Sun Xiuying looked at it and sighed: "Just pamper yourself!"
After speaking, Sun Xiuying smiled at Mai Mai: "Mai, I will buy you a new set in a few days!"
Jian Heng saw the wink from his mother, and immediately polished up what his mother said and translated it.
Wheat replied after hearing this: "No need, I don't use it often anyway!"
Cosmetics are indeed expensive, but they are rarely used on the ranch. The most commonly used ones are some simple ones. Although I am a coach, I almost sweat all over my body after class every day. How can barley and wheat go to class with heavy makeup? So the whole set of cosmetics is mostly a decoration for the two sisters.
In addition, Xiaomai really thinks that Ning Ning's talent in painting is so good that he praises it from the bottom of his heart.
Although Jian Heng has stayed in the United States for a long time, he still has a Chinese style in his heart. When he heard Mai Mai boasting so much, he subconsciously thought that Mai Mai was being polite, and he didn't take it to heart.
"Where's your father?" After chatting with Mai Mai for a few words across Jian Heng, Sun Xiuying realized that she and her prospective daughter-in-law didn't have much in common, so she asked Jian Zhenhua where she had gone.
Jian Heng stretched out his hand and pointed: "It's in the greenhouse."
"This old man has taken over the greenhouse, I'll go and have a look," Sun Xiuying said and walked to the door.
Jian Heng sent his mother out, just happened to meet Damai who came back, and when Jian Heng picked up the book again on the sofa, the two sisters were already having fun with Ningning.
After the first day of the ranch went smoothly, Jian Heng massaged the barley and wheat, and when the three of them were about to take a bath and rest, they suddenly heard Ningning's howling, which was very sharp and wronged.
"what's wrong?"
Balley and Wheat immediately opened their eyes when they heard it, and after looking at each other, they all focused on Jian Heng.
Jian Heng understood at a glance that his business was coming, so he reached out and picked up the nightgown and put it on his body: "I'll go and have a look!"
Go out and arrive at Ningning's door. Seeing that the door is not closed, she pushes the door and walks in.
Sun Xiuying and Ning Ning, the old and the young, are now glaring at each other, staring at each other.
"What's the matter?" Jian Heng couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene.
"Look, look, you are so brave, you must take this lion to bed!" Sun Xiuying pointed to Denver and said.
Now Denver is no longer as embarrassed as it was in the afternoon. The lipstick on his body has been washed off. Denver, who needs to take a shower every day, can't hang these things on his body. Unless he uses paint, he can take a shower at night, and the lipstick and other things will be washed off. .
The braids on the neck are almost invisible, only dots of color can be seen on the claws, but because the claws are usually retracted into the flesh, it is not obvious now.
Sun Xiuying can tolerate Ning Ning playing with the lion during the day, but how could she let her daughter sleep with the lion at night? Even if there is a one-ten-thousandth possibility in the eyes, she will not be willing. This is a mother's nature to protect her children.
How could Jian Heng not understand his mother's worry? If it was a normal domestic lion, Jian Heng would not be happy, but Denver is not an ordinary lion.
"Mom, don't worry, Denver used to sleep with Damai and Xiaomai, it's okay, it won't hurt anyone, at least it won't hurt our family," Jian Heng explained.
"But it's a lion after all, and it's not too small. If it falls asleep and turns over, it can crush your sister." Sun Xiuying was still worried.
"Hey, put your heart in your stomach. It's okay. Don't look at Denver as cold, but he has a good temper. In contrast, I'm afraid that Ningning will turn over and crush Denver."
"Really all right?"
"It's really okay, I guarantee it myself!" Jian Heng smiled and stretched out his hands to support his mother's shoulders, and pushed her out of the door.
Sun Xiuying muttered in her mouth: "What can I do to you if something happens, cut off your head? You are still my son."
"In case something happens, will you beat me?" Jian Heng said jokingly.
Sending his mother back to his room, Jian Heng turned to Ning Ning's room, and within a short while, Jian Heng found that the little girl Ning Ning was lying on the bed side by side with Pooh and Denver.
The bed in Jian Heng's house is a big bed, 2 meters x 2 meters and 3 meters. Ningning is small, and Pooh is not too big. Even though Denver is a little bigger, it is not too big for people, so a child plus a bear and a lion Lying on the bed, it didn't look crowded. It was just a small human head exposed from the quilt, with a lion head and a bear head, which made Jian Heng feel a little smile after looking at it.
Only Heihu and Instant Noodles are a bit pitiful. They sleep in the same place, and the two are squeezed together, obviously belonging to the lower class of 'humans'.
Ning Ning is holding a book in his hand, and he is reading something non-stop. If you think that Ning Ning can read the words in the book, then you are wrong. Ning Ning does not know 80% of the words in the book. But that didn't stop her from telling stories to Denver and Pooh.
Children are like this, a thing that seems boring to adults, they can play with relish by themselves, and now Ningning is immersed in the life he 'imagined'.
Obviously, Denver and Pooh became children in the little girl's imagination, while Ningning played the role of adults, imitating the way her parents used to put her to sleep, telling stories to a lion and a bear.
"Brother, do you want to listen to the story together?" Ning Ning warmly invited her brother when she saw her brother appearing at the door.
Jian Heng waved his hands again and again: "No, I'm very sleepy, I'm going back to sleep, you should go to bed earlier, you see, Denver and Pooh are both asleep."
Walking up to his younger sister, Jian Heng took the book from the little girl, closed it and put it on the desk cabinet, then lifted the quilt, let the little girl lie down comfortably, and helped tuck the quilt up.
"Brother, your bed is so soft." As soon as Ning Ning lay down, his two little eyelids fought instantly.
"I like that my brother will stay with you in my hometown..." Before he finished speaking, Jian Heng found that the little girl had closed her eyes, and her two thin nose wings were flapping one by one, obviously falling asleep.
Seeing the little girl's appearance, Jian Heng smiled, then bent down, and gently kissed the little girl's forehead. Jian Heng got up and came to the door, turned off the light, and then gently put on the The door, and then returned to his room to rest.
