Little Life on An American Ranch
Chapter 370: call for help
Chapter 370 Help
The mother-in-law-to-be was going to move here, which really made Jian Heng feel anxious for a day or two. As much as Jian Heng liked the two McAvoy sisters, he was worried that the mother-in-law would not be able to deal with it.
Fortunately, Jian Heng adjusted it after a day or two, because the current situation of the mother-in-law-to-be didn't come just as she said, from Tong Tong to know that the real trip would take ten days and a half months.
In addition, Jian Heng heard that the mother-in-law-to-be is planning to go to Paris to relax. Based on Jian Heng's calculations, it would be considered good for his mother-in-law-to-be to catch up with the Chinese New Year in the lunar calendar.
The prospective mother-in-law did not come, but Jian Heng's "National Difficulty Wealth" made a lot of money. Waiting for the road to pass, Jian Heng went directly to take the test for the pilot's license, and passed it all at once. After the test, Jian Heng's He has become a pilot who can drive the simplest propeller aircraft.
Of course, after getting the license, Jian Heng signed up for a new course, preparing to become a pilot with a serious flight license, not the current one, which is almost equivalent to the agricultural tricycle in the driver's license. Son.
Two days later, five of the sixty class hours were killed by Jian Heng in a daze. Jian Heng couldn't come, not because Jian Heng had something to do, but because it snowed again, accompanied by the snow. There is a strong wind, and when it blows, Jian Heng can even wake up from sleep with a smile.
When the wind and snow came, they worked on and off for another five or six days. Jian Heng’s two warehouses ran out of silage. Not only the two warehouses, but also the small warehouse that he used to use, were almost sold by Jian Heng. After going out, seeing the price of the silage, I cheered and wanted to sell it, and I couldn't help it, if Toby didn't stop it.
The grass in the two warehouses is to exchange money for a complete set of fitness equipment for Jian Heng, and it’s not the kind of small gym, it’s enough to set up a nearly 1,000-square-meter gym.
It can be said that the two snowfalls made the whole ranch feel refreshed.
"Yes, yes, I am Henry Jean!" Jian Heng put his legs on the desk, holding the phone in one hand and spinning the pen in the other.
From the beginning of asking about the price of several fitness equipment, Jian Heng's phone has been ringing non-stop, and people have been calling to let Jian Heng try it out. Although it is not a good idea to win such a gym equipment in the United States. It's a big list, but it's not too small. With the level near the city of Kalispell, a gym with fitness equipment of this size can also enter the top ten.
The reason why Jian Heng didn't buy and ship it in China is because it's better to put this kind of fixed assets on the bright side. I said that the bunch of **** from the IRS are really hard to deal with, otherwise the United States will commit crimes. The elements will not sharpen their heads to launder money. People who are not short of money in their pockets are always afraid of troubles, especially troubles that can be avoided, so now Jian Heng chooses to honestly buy here in the United States.
"Wait, I have a call coming in, I will go to your experience store when I have time!" Jian Heng finished speaking and hung up the phone in his hand.
Looking at the incoming call, Jian Heng was a little puzzled, because the phone number showed that it was from South Africa.
South Africa?
Jian Heng raised his chin and began to think about it. After thinking for a while, he didn't find anyone he knew in South Africa. Of course, there were people he knew, but Jian Heng was the only one who was familiar enough to call him. Can't remember either.
While Jian Heng was thinking, the phone hung up, but he called again after a while. The number of the phone was changed, but the place where he called was South Africa.
"Hello. Who is this!"
With a strong curiosity, Jian Heng answered the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Jean" Jian Heng's very familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Mrs. Curtis!" Jian Heng cried out, stood up from the chair in an instant, and called out.
"Hello, Mr. Jean, do you still remember me?" Mrs. Curtis said excitedly.
Jian Heng thought for a while, and couldn't understand it, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Why do you have my phone number, and how can you call me?"
Ren Jianheng thought a lot, but he never thought that it would be Mrs. Curtis who called him. First, the old lady has been living in an isolated environment from the outside world, and second, she has no need to call herself.
"We are in trouble. Our camp was attacked. All the adults were either scattered or killed. I am now in the Kimberley area with dozens of children. We have encountered black riots. I can't find it. I've got someone to help, I can only ask you to try!" Mrs. Curtis said in a desperate tone.
Jian Heng was a little overwhelmed when he heard the news. He didn't know how he felt after hearing the news. After a while, he asked, "It's all gone?"
"It's all gone! Originally we could still beg and eat some relief, but now there is another riot here. I don't know what will happen tomorrow. I have lived enough, and I will die when I die, but the people around me What about these children?" said Mrs. Curtis.
Hearing what the old lady said, the smiling faces of the children instantly appeared in Jian Heng's mind. They couldn't erase the appearance of them receiving snacks and small toys from his hands.
"A lady gave me your number. I didn't want to call you at first, but I couldn't bear it anymore. If there was a one in ten thousand possibility, I didn't want to bother you, but there is a glimmer of hope for the children I want them to live!" The old lady was about to cry on the other end of the phone.
"I come over!"
In just a few seconds, Jian Heng made a decision.
He knows that South Africa is very chaotic now. Many blacks have taken to the streets to smash and loot. Not only many Chinese shops have been affected, but some small American companies have not been spared. Both China and the US embassy in South Africa have notified South Africa citizens of the country, evacuate to a safe area.
But Jian Heng had to go at this time. Jian Heng didn't think of the **** that with great power comes great responsibility. I can't feel at ease, I'm afraid I can dream of these helpless faces even when I sleep.
Put down the phone, Jian Heng walked out of the study, told his parents to go out for a few days.
"Why do you want to go out all of a sudden?" Sun Xiuying was about to ask everyone to eat, and when she heard her son say that she was going out, and that she would leave now that she hadn't eaten, she opened her mouth and asked curiously.
"It's okay. A friend came to me with something urgent. It only took me a week to go there. I'll be back when the matter is resolved." Jian Heng pretended to be indifferent and explained to his mother.
Sun Xiuying didn't think much about it, but simply believed her son's words: "Then you take something to eat on the way, no matter how urgent you are, you can't stop eating."
"Then get me some, and I'll take it with me on the way!" Jian Heng said with a smile to his mother.
Sun Xiuying turned around and left after hearing this, and went to pack food for her son. Jian Zhenhua, who was standing beside her, walked up to Jian Heng's side and stared at her son.
Jian Heng was a little hairy when his father looked at him, and he squeezed out a smile on his face: "Dad, what are you looking at? My hairs stand on end."
"Be careful in everything, and if you don't violate it, don't forget. Your mother and I are only your only son. If you make any mistakes, from your grandpa to my life, you will be gone forever." Speaking of this, Jian Zhenhua He didn't go on, just sighed, reached out and patted Jian Heng's shoulder.
How old is Jian Zhenhua, besides his own son, he still doesn't know? Just by lying to his wife, Jian Zhenhua guessed that things were not as simple as what his son said, but as a father, he also knew that he couldn't stop him, just like he couldn't stop his son from running away from home .
"Dad, I'm really fine!" Jian Heng said.
With space in hand, Jian Heng believes that he can protect himself wherever he goes.
"I hope!" Jian Zhenhua didn't say anything to Jian Heng, and only left a sentence: "I'll go and see your mother, how is the meal I brought you?"
Jian Heng looked at his father's back, and suddenly his nose felt a little sore. At some point, his father's back seemed to be slightly bent, not as strong and tough as he remembered.
But when he thought of Mrs. Curtis and those familiar faces, Jian Heng's heart immediately changed. While his parents were packing up food for him, Jian Heng briefly talked about the matter with the barley and wheat back home.
Of course I said I was going to South Africa, but I didn’t say that I was going to the Kimberley region, which is now in chaos, and asked them to keep it a secret.
