Little Life on An American Ranch - Chapter 698
Chapter 698 Kennel
“Is this still a small town?” Jian Zhenhua couldn’t believe his eyes. From the airport to here, Jian Zhenhua had never been surprised, but when he arrived in the small town, he was immediately surprised.
Jian Heng said with a smile: “This year has changed a lot, right?”
“Not only is it not small, it is simply earth-shattering. What was there in this small town before? There are small bars on the ground where you can entertain. Good guy, how long have we been away? Look, look, not only There are shops, even gas stations, if I remember correctly, this is newly built, right?” Yang Bin also looked out of the window curiously, and asked Jian Heng.
Jian Heng said: “The gas station used to exist, but at that time there was only one oil gun, and it was relatively broken. Now this one has been renovated, and there are two oil guns.”
“Oh, that’s my memory,” Yang Bin said.
Jian Zhenhua saw the red lanterns hanging on both sides of the nearby road, and he was very happy, so he opened his mouth and said, “Not bad, not bad, the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year is not worse than ours now.”
At this time, Huang Xiaodong, who was driving the car, said with a smile: “You, if you have time tonight, you can come to watch the juggling show. It lasts for four days. Not only are people breathing fire, but clowns are playing bowling pins and so on. It was lively, not only people from our neighborhood came to see it, but also people from the city drove over with their families, it was very lively.”
“It’s so cold!” Jian Zhenhua couldn’t help but uttered a sentence when he thought about how the temperature here was more than ten degrees below zero at night.
Huang Xiaodong said: “When the time comes, people who are so hot will not feel cold. If it is cold, take a sip of old wine to drive away the cold. I decided to come and play until twelve o’clock after get off work today.”
“Is the matter over with the ranch?” Jian Zhenhua asked.
After saying this, the old man explained again: “I’m talking about the wolf encounter in the pasture!”
Huang Xiaodong said: “Every time the wolves are active, our side is busy for a while, but every time our pasture is the target of the wolves!”
Speaking of which, he raised his hand and looked up at the sky: “Thank God!”
I learned this habit from some cowboys, but they are all Christians. He Huang Xiaodong just imitated their posture, and he doesn’t have any firm belief in God or anything in his heart.
“Anyway, we can come to Andu every time, which is a good thing. Now that the wolves have no shadows for a day, our side will have a holiday in turn,” Huang Xiaodong said.
“Boss, are you free to go to my house?” Huang Xiaodong said.
“Has the house been handed over?” Jian Heng asked.
Huang Xiaodong said: “Hmm! I didn’t expect this group of people to be able to finish the house.”
“Building a house at this time? Doesn’t the cement have to be frozen and powdered? Can the quality of the house built here be good?” Jian Zhenhua asked Huang Xiaoduo curiously.
Huang Xiaodong replied with a smile: “Uncle, apart from the foundation, the house here really doesn’t use any cement. I poured the foundation of the house last year, and it’s already hardened by the winter. There’s no problem.” , many of the rest are modules, what is a module, it is prefabricated in the factory, and it can be shipped here and installed directly!”
“I know, I know, we have a few stables doing the same thing in the winter, it saves time and money
“Why are we talking about building a house again!” Jian Heng laughed.
Yang Bin stretched out his hand and patted Huang Xiaodong’s shoulder: “You can go!”
Huang Xiaodong turned his head and saw that as expected, the car in front was almost five miles away from him, so he started the car to keep up with the rear of the car in front.
Because there are a lot of people on the road, they are all here to play, half of them are Chinese and half are foreigners, there are many people. Generally speaking, people who drive will give way to pedestrians. In this way, there will be a backlog of cars slowly. It’s a bit slow, I used to walk slowly, but this time I came back and it was blocked directly.
I have to talk about small towns. Although there are more shops, a large part of the infrastructure has not kept up. Things like roads are the most obvious. The morning rush hour of the sub-district is not counted, so where can it cause any problems of congestion or not.
The car started to drive, Jian Heng turned around and found two familiar faces in the crowd, who are they? Xu Wen and Gu Yuan were the two people they met when they watched the dancing horse last time. Later, Jian Heng sent them to a family of three living in the camping van, but this time they didn’t see their children.
Pressed the car window, Jian Heng shouted at the two of them: “Xu Wen, Gu Yuan!”
Hearing Jian Heng’s shout, the two turned around, and when they saw that it was Jian Heng, they immediately trotted over happily.
“Why haven’t you two gone back yet?” Jian Heng asked curiously.
Xu Wen said: “It’s not that we didn’t go back, it’s that we went back and came back!”
Speaking of this, he pointed to a group of people over there: “See that handsome man, he is our boss!”
Oh, upon hearing that this was the case, Jian Heng realized that he was here to play with the boss this time, no wonder he felt that Yizhen was squatting here.
“Where do you still live?” Jian Heng asked.
Gu Yuan said: “Well, it’s more affordable there now, and besides, none of you have ever owned a campsite, and now a group of more than a dozen people has rented four campers, which is very lively, and the most important thing is that you can do it yourself. Fan, by the way, where are you going?”
Jian Heng said: “I just came back from China, and I just got off the plane to go back to the ranch?”
“Then we won’t bother you, we have time to have a meal!” Xu Wen’s boss also waved at Xu Wen, Xu Wen had to be polite with Jian Heng, and then ran off with his wife past.
“Boss, how did you know these two?” Huang Xiaodong asked.
Jian Heng said: “Hey, I met them last time when I went to see the dancing horses. Later, they were kicked out by the landlord, and we met again when we were about to move to the camping ground to find a car. That’s how we met. Why, you also know?”.
“Where do I know each other, I just met each other. I just remembered seeing the campsite after you talked about it!” Huang Xiaodong said.
Jian Heng asked strangely after hearing this: “What are you doing at the campsite?”
As soon as Huang Xiaodong asked this question, he was startled for a moment, and his face turned red. Seeing his treacherous expression, everyone knew what this kid was doing at the campsite, he must have gone to pick up girls in the campsite.
Jian Heng just asked casually, and after asking, his eyes had turned to the window of the car, and he turned his head when he heard Yang Bin’s laughter: “What are you laughing at?”
Yang Bin pointed at Huang Xiaodong: “This kid went to meet a girl at the campsite, and when you asked him, he blushed like a piece of red cloth!”
“Oh!” Jian Heng looked at Huang Xiaodong, saw that his face was still covered with red clouds, so he said: “You are not young, you should have a girlfriend. Only this girl lives in a campsite? Is it a reporter?”
“No! I came here to do odd jobs, we just met” Huang Xiaodong said.
Regarding the issue of sex, some foreign girls are quite open, while others are more conservative than domestic ones. The conservative ones are generally children of very traditional religious families.
A job like Huang Xiaodong is good, money in pocket is not too short for a safe life, and it is considered a hot commodity, although American girls don’t ask for a house or anything, but they have a stable and good job , under the current employment conditions, it is definitely a big advantage.
“Then get along well.” Jian Heng said a very unnutritious sentence.
Huang Xiaodong hummed, and then turned the steering wheel to the small road leading to the ranch. Suddenly, he felt the car squeezed out of the crowd, and suddenly turned into an empty road. There was no one there, and Jian Heng felt a little uncomfortable for a while.
After leaving the road with the most people, the speed of the car picked up immediately. After five or six minutes, the car drove into the pasture and came to the front of the house.
After stopping the car, Jian Heng yelled towards the house: “We’re back!”
After yelling twice, there was no one there. Jian Heng couldn’t help being a little curious: “Where did everyone go?”
Huang Xiaodong said: “I don’t know. When I went to pick you up, most of them were still at home. Only Sister Damai and Lawyer Daniel went out.”
As soon as he heard that the two had gone out, Jian Heng asked again: “The acquisition is completed?”
“I heard that there is no problem. Daniel and Sister Damai are waiting for their boss’s signature this time. After you get it back, you can sign the contract!” Huang Xiaodong said.
“Boss, I heard that we have borrowed a lot this time?” Huang Xiaodong remembered something.
Jian Heng said: “What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I won’t be able to pay back the money?”
Jian Heng doesn’t have enough cash to buy the Edwin Harrison Marcus Ranch Company, but Jian Heng has no money, but there is plenty of money in the bank. Given Jian Heng’s current solvency, the bank is eager for Jian Heng to borrow more.
Yang Bin saw Huang Xiaodong coming to take over his luggage, and quickly said: “No, no, you are too polite.”
Seeing that Yang Bin refused, Huang Xiaodong didn’t say much, just smiled at him and said to Jian Heng: “If there’s nothing else to do, boss, I’ll go back to work!”
“Okay, okay! Thank you for your hard work.” Jian Heng smiled.
Jane dragged a small box here, while Yang Bin carried the small bag of clothes for himself and his old father-in-law to the house.
I went in and looked around, and there was no one in the house, no one, but there were still living things, for example, Shelly, who looked like a meat sofa in the living room, was one of them.
“Ah!” Jian Heng threw the bag in his hand, then threw himself on the sofa, bumped it twice, hugged the back of his head and said: “The luxurious palace can’t compare to my own doghouse!”
