Little Life on An American Ranch
Chapter 42: the old days
Chapter 42 Old Times
Thinking of a way to generate income, Jian Heng immediately started to get in touch with the road. He took out the phone and saw a beam of light lit up from a distance, and then quickly moved towards him.
At the beginning, Jian Heng thought that someone was coming to see him again, so he stood up and prepared to talk to him, but he didn't know that the car passed in front of him, ignoring him as the master, and went to the back of the house.
Seeing such a situation, Jian Heng couldn't help scratching his head, and said softly: "What's going on? Is my serious master being ignored?"
When I came back to my senses and looked at it, I realized that I was standing in the dark now, which means that people who drive may not be able to see me.
Stealing things? Thinking of this in Jian Heng's heart, he immediately became a little nervous. He came here suddenly, maybe someone thought that there was no one here who wanted to take advantage of it.
Thief? !
Jian Heng touched a wooden stick casually, and prepared to go to see who had the courage to come to his house to steal things.
This is not the country, where thieves come to your house at random and you are injured and you have to pay for it, and you have no reason to push your house in the middle of the night. Here, as long as you come into someone’s house uninvited, the owner will pull out a gun. It's not a big problem to kill, private property is sacrosanct.
Of course, in reality, as long as there is no particularly great hatred or harm, no one will directly kill someone. Shooting and killing a person is a great psychological test for any normal person.
Clutching the stick, Jian Heng gently opened the door, ready to go to the back door to see what the thief wanted from him. Now that I can be said to be a destitute family, what else is worth patronizing by thieves.
The door had just been opened, when Jian Heng heard the back door open, a teenage voice with a slightly hoarse voice sounded.
"Where is the light here"
Jian Heng thought to himself: Damn, you don't even have a flashlight for stealing things, this is too unprofessional!
At this moment, a girl's voice rang out: "Use the phone!"
Jian Heng immediately became dizzy, the two voices didn't sound loud, and they looked like teenagers, and they could tell they were adolescent children.
Two children of this age come here to steal things?
Jian Heng thinks this possibility is very low. A boy and a girl come to a place where no one lives in the dark. They must want to date, maybe they want to do some outrageous things.
Soon, the phone screen lit up, revealing a young face slightly.
"Where's the light switch? Is there really no one here?" the boy asked.
"I haven't been here a few times these days. Mr. Anders has passed away. The designated beneficiary of the ranch is probably still in New York. There must be no one here. I just don't know if there will be a power outage if no one lives for such a long time!" The girl's voice sounded.
Then the two of them took their mobile phones and started looking for switches on the wall.
Jian Heng guessed what these two people were doing here, so he pressed the switch, and the whole room lit up immediately.
"what!"
"what!"
Seeing Jian Heng standing in front of them, the two children hugged each other subconsciously, while shouting like killing a pig.
What made Jian Heng find it funny was that the boys shouted louder than the girls.
"What are you shouting for! Who let you in!"
While asking, Jian Heng picked out the ear hole that was a little uncomfortable from the two shouting.
As soon as the light came on, Jian Heng could see the faces of the two children clearly. The boy was very handsome, not only handsome, but also a little girly. In China, he could be regarded as a small fresh meat, and the girl was also quite handsome. Beautiful, tall nose, big eyes, slender figure.
Hearing Jian Heng's words, the two half-aged children immediately shut up.
"Aren't you a ghost?" the girl asked.
Jian Heng felt a block in his heart: "The ghost will be so polite to you! Tell me, what are you doing at my house? Be careful and watch your performance. If you do not behave well, I will call your parents to come over Leader!"
Jian Heng feels that he has nothing to do now, so he just wants to scare the two children for fun!
I have to say that Jian Heng is very funny. His two children came on a date secretly, and he is going to use it for fun.
Jian Heng's words quickly worked!
When the boy heard the call to his parents, his face immediately shrugged. What do the two of you want to do here? Who wouldn't think about it as an adult? Maybe their mother and father came here like this when they were young. It would be embarrassing if they were taken back by their family members. If it was spread to school, they would definitely be the target of schoolmates making fun of them.
Such a big child is actually the most face-saving, no matter whether it is domestic or foreign, it is almost the same, besides, it is not a good reputation to have a chaotic private life, no one wants to be pointed behind the back, so I have an appointment with Yueleichi It was one thing, but it was another thing to be caught, and the boy was terrified of being humiliated.
"Are you Jane?"
The girl blinked her big eyes as soon as she heard that, watched Jian Heng take two steps forward, and asked happily.
"Don't be pretentious, answer my question honestly!" Jian Heng looked at the girl and felt that he didn't know her, so he said with a straight face.
The girl pointed to her nose and said, "Jane, you are really Jane. I am Rebecca. You used to call me Little Sparrow. Have you forgotten?"
Hearing the little sparrow, Jian Heng immediately remembered that when he was on the ranch, there was a girl in the O'Brien family with a thin ponytail and freckles on her face, who looked like a crazy girl all day long. Running around, running over from time to time to chat with old Anders.
To be honest, the O'Brien family is quite unpopular. This family is a real rich man. They don't live on the ranch, they have other businesses, so they just enjoy life on the ranch, and it is also a pleasure to raise cattle and sheep.
In this way, old O'Brien thought that the ranchers around him were stinky donkey dung, while the old ranchers thought that old O'Brien was a posturing old bastard. to a jug.
The only girl in the O'Brien family that the townspeople like is Rebecca, because the little girl is happy to see everyone, and her speech is also attractive.
"Rebecca?" Jian Heng glanced at the girl in disbelief. Based on the impression in his memory, Jian Heng quickly confirmed that the young and beautiful girl in front of him was the little girl from before, and he immediately remembered it in his heart I sighed: It's really a girl's 18th change.
But after glancing at the cowardly boy standing next to him, he added another sentence in his heart: The cabbage is so good!
"It's understandable for her to come here, what are you doing here?" Rebecca couldn't scare her anymore, and Jian Heng decided to continue to have some fun with this coward.
Rebecca didn't want to eat this, and said to the boy: "You go first!"
The boy glanced at Rebecca, then at Jian Heng, as if he wanted to leave but dared not.
"Let's go!" Rebecca was a little annoyed, and stepped forward to push the boy.
The boy turned around without saying a word, opened the door and left the house with Xiao Pao. Soon there was the sound of a car starting outside the house, and then it got farther and farther away.
"This kid can't do it!" Jian Heng said.
Rebecca replied: "Who would have thought he would be so timid"
Seeing the boy's cowardly appearance, Rebecca's impression of him immediately plummeted. Thinking of her troublesome boyfriend, her heart was blocked, and Rebecca asked Jian Heng: "When did you come back?"
"It's here in the afternoon!" Jian Heng said.
After finishing speaking, Jian Heng looked at the watch in his hand: "It's getting late, you should go back early"
"You won't drive me? You're not a gentleman!" Rebecca said.
Jian Heng spread his hands: "I want to see you off, but unfortunately I don't have a car! Okay, let's walk back, anyway, it's not far from your home, and it's not the first time you've walked this way!"
"I forgot, all the cars on the ranch were packaged and photographed by the bank. By the way, are you ready to accept the ranch?" Rebecca asked.
"Why do you ask this? Why do you want to change to a new neighbor?" Jian Heng asked jokingly.
"I don't want to change. It's better for you to live here with a stranger. It's okay, I won't tell you anymore, I'm going back, bye!" After speaking, Rebecca waved at Jian Heng and walked straight to the door, pushing After opening the door, the figure quickly disappeared from Jian Heng's sight.
Jian Heng couldn't help sighing: "Oh, the child now!"
Back in the house, Jian Heng walked into the room he used to live in, opened the door, and found that the furniture inside was covered with curtains. Pulling off the cloth, I found that the furnishings of the house were similar to when I left.
Pulling out the drawer, there are small gadgets that I made when I was working on the ranch, and on the wall are the leather strips that I made by myself at that time, as well as horse bridles, and a set of horses that I used On the ground next to the cabinet is the saddle he used at that time. It seems that the old man put all the things he used frequently in this room.
Everything in the house is very familiar to Jian Heng, and he can immediately recall the scene at that time, sometimes happy and sometimes sad, as if several years were suddenly awakened from memory by the house full of things.
Remember the hurt! Hurt takes energy.
Not long after, Jian Heng felt that he was tired, so he put on his clothes and lay down on the bed, and fell asleep before he knew it.
