Little Life on An American Ranch Chapter 129

  Chapter 129 Moving to a new house (1)

  Early in the morning of the next day, Zhang Jialiang and Huang Xiaodong got up very early, opened the barn and put in the mixed herd, and then started the work of shoveling manure.

   Waiting for the manure to be shoveled, the two are going to start patrolling the fence of the pasture to see if there are any blind cows coming to the pasture.

  Jian Heng happened to come out on black beans, so he arranged two groups, and he started to walk away from each other to check the fence of the pasture.

  After checking around, it was almost noon, and then we had a simple meal. In the afternoon, students came back one after another. When it was time for dinner in the evening, everyone had a lot.

  Jian Heng felt a little strange, because none of these people went home, and they squandered the money from the fund in the town.

  But Jian Heng didn't ask, just continue the class when people come, what else is there to say?

  So the life on the ranch began to go on as before. Every day, Jian Heng was almost at three o'clock and one line, dormitory, restaurant and training ground.

  Days passed, and money kept coming into his pockets, but Jian Heng felt that his life seemed to be getting worse and worse, as if he lacked some goals, and began to feel a little confused.

The human race feels a bit like a holiday. It's a week when you're at work. It's so comfortable to play. You hate having to go to work, but if you really don't go to work, you will be alone for two or three months. Many people I also feel uneasy. Now Jian Heng has this feeling.

   After Jian Heng spent about ten days reflecting on his own affairs, Jian Heng built his first real house in the United States.

  The house was built very large, with several hundred square meters of bungalows, which shows how large the area is.

The house is big, but the interior decoration is very simple. Looking around, the ground is full of light-colored wood floors, the walls are white wallpaper with dark patterns, and there is no ceiling above the head. You can look up On the roof, there are neatly arranged square wooden beams, and a piece of wide slats that have been fireproofed on the beams.

  The lighting in the house is not very particular. The simple chandelier is only required to illuminate the place that should be bright at night, and there are some important rooms, similar to bedside lamps installed in the bedroom.

   All these lamps are simple, and I didn't choose the kind of retro lamps that are too complicated.

  The rest of the color decoration in the room is almost all based on furniture.

With the money sent by the fund, Jian Heng directly bought a set of daily furniture. The colors of the sofa are relatively calm, and the choice of carpet is also a simple and steady way, and the furniture is not too much. Famous brands are not famous brands, let alone luxury. The only thing that can be said in the past is that the places where solid wood should be used are all solid wood.

  The only bright spot in the house is the flowers and green plants. Barley and Wheat helped to pick some flowers and green plants, and after dressing them up, it made the whole house more colorful.

  In short, the characteristics of Jian Heng's new home are in six words: concise, clean, and generous!

The one that can be sold is that there is a huge open platform on the south side of the house, the kind with a roof that is not afraid of rain. There is a long table on the platform, which can accommodate more than a dozen people to eat together. There was a rattan sofa, a rattan hanging chair, and two rocking chairs.

  This is the ranch style, which many old ranchers like. After returning, sit outside and drink some wine and enjoy the sunset of their ranch. This may be the happiest time of the day for ranchers.

  The second is that all the public areas of the house have large floor-to-ceiling windows, almost from the edge of the house to the foundation, which is very transparent without covering.

  As soon as the house was built, Jane left it to dry for two days. It was not smelly at first, so she was ready to move in.

  Whether it is for Chinese people, moving is a very happy thing, so Zhao Changshan is going to do it here, there is nothing special, it is nothing more than a richer meal or something, and everyone is making trouble together.

On the day when he was about to move in, Jian Heng got up early and went to the airport to pick up Jim and He Ye. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the airport, Zuo Tong came with him, that is, the domestic model who bought his classic car .

  Three people brought three followers, each dragging a large bag, and the posture was quite sufficient.

  The ones who came were guests, so Jian Heng naturally expressed his sincere welcome to them, picked up the plane and took the three of them back to the ranch.

  As soon as he returned to the ranch, Zhang Jialiang saw Jian Heng coming back, and immediately shouted loudly: "Brother Changshan, brother Changshan, the boss is back!"

   "Come back when you come back, what kind of yelling, didn't you see any guests coming?" Jian Heng said to Zhang Jialiang with a smile.

  Zhang Jialiang didn't care about it, and said quickly: "Brother Changshan is waiting so anxiously, he said that if you don't come back, the auspicious time will pass!"

   "Let's order after we move in!" Jian Heng was caught by this kid as soon as he got out of the car and talked about the auspicious and inauspicious times.

  Jian Heng doesn't believe this. He thinks that the British didn't believe in this stuff before, and the Americans didn't believe it either, and they still became the world's hegemon.

  But believe it or not, it is not easy to express your own opinions at this time, and everyone feels a little unhappy, so Jian Heng just let Zhao Changshan and the others toss about this housewarming.

"This is Zhang Jialiang, you have seen it before, this is Huang Xiaodong, this is..." After introducing everyone one by one, Jian Heng was about to say something when he suddenly found that there was not only one person in his ranch today uninvited guest.

   Seeing this uninvited guest, Jian Heng's eyes widened, because what he didn't expect was that it was Melissa!

   "When did Miss Melissa arrive?" Jian Heng was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, and he subconsciously glanced behind her, thinking that Blanca came back with her.

Today is my housewarming. Yesterday, my old lady had a video call with Jian Heng. Sun Xiuying specifically told her son on the phone that everything should be happy and smooth, even if she is angry. Bear with it and try to be lucky.

  My old lady reminded me once, and Jian Heng remembered it in my heart. Although my old lady couldn't see it, Jian Heng couldn't play unnecessary double-faced.

  So although there were countless questions in my mind, I still gave Melissa a big smile, and didn't ask her why I didn't encounter such polite words at the airport.

"Blanca is very busy now, so I didn't come with me. This time I came alone, so I came back about 20 minutes earlier than you! I saw the three of them on the plane." Melissa looked He checked the watch on his wrist, and then motioned to He Ye and the others.

   Speaking of this, Melissa said with apology: "However, I didn't know that you moved today, and you didn't prepare any gifts. I hope you won't be offended."

   Without waiting for Jian Heng to be polite, Melissa said again: "However, there is something that can be used as a gift, but I don't know if Mr. Jean is willing to accept it."

   "..." Jian Heng looked at Melissa with some doubts.

   At this moment, Zhao Changshan came over in a hurry, urging the boys around him as he walked.

   came in front of Jian Heng, and said anxiously: "Why are you only coming back now!".

   "I have no choice, the plane is delayed!" Jian Heng said with a smile.

"Don't talk about it, move quickly, I almost missed today's auspicious time. You listen to me, I asked the master to figure it out, and now this is just right!" Looking at the watch, Zhao Changshan Said.

  Hearing what he said, Jian Heng smiled at Melissa, and then jokingly asked Zhao Changshan: "Is this considered Chinese time or American time? Is the Chinese geomancer coming to the United States?"

   Zhao Changshan smiled and said, "You have a lot to do, hurry up!"

   Before Jian Heng could speak, Zhao Changshan said to Zhao Wei and his boys, "Move!"

   Seeing Zhang Jialiang standing in a daze, Zhao Changshan shouted, "What are you doing standing there? Let's fire!"

   "Boss said..."

   "Listen to me, let it go!" Zhao Changshan didn't let him finish, so he yelled.

  Hearing what he said, Zhang Jialiang took Xiao Pao to light the cannons, and after a while, some firecrackers sounded.

   As soon as the firecrackers sounded, like a signal, Huang Xiaodong and Zhao Wei happily pushed the cart, and there were a few belongings that Jian Heng felt sorry for.

  Jian Heng doesn't have many things, except for a few blankets, two suitcases, and a set of harness, there is almost nothing else.

  So a small trolley packed it and left. The trolley is the hanging bucket of a four-motorcycle. The two young men push it as if they are playing. In addition, Jian Heng's things are not many and heavy, so the two boys push the cart very fast.

  On both sides of the car, there were two square pieces of big red paper pasted by Zhao Changshan himself in the morning, with some extremely vulgar words written on them.

  In the land of the United States, it is still possible to have a golden ten thousand taels, but it is a bit ridiculous to be awarded immediately.

   "Is this the beginning?" He Ye smiled and watched a group of people pushing carts rushing up the hillside, raising their heels to follow behind Jian Heng, smiling as if they were watching some Western scene, cheerful.

  After Zuo Tong followed up, he said to Jian Heng: "Brother Jian, you have too few things! But you have a house, and you can take care of the things in it!"

  Jim is now interested in the red paper pasted on the car. He stretched his head and trotted along with a group of boys running ahead.

  When they reached the door of the house, the boys moved all their things into the house in one go. As for the harness and so on, they put them directly in the small side room next to the house, which is a tool room specially built by Jian Heng.

   Things were arranged quickly. As the host, Jian Heng took He Ye, Zuo Tong, Jim and Melissa for a tour, and then took the four of them to sit on the sofa in the living room and chatted.

  About the house, Zuo Tong thought about it for a while, and gave a fair evaluation: the atmosphere!

  This house cannot be evaluated by others. From Zuo Tong's point of view, there is nothing to say. It is just a plain, ordinary family's house that is super suitable for daily life.

  The new house looks a bit empty, and the most outstanding arrangement is the urgent flowers and green plants of barley and wheat.

   Jian Heng didn't buy almost any things in the room, such as quilts, sheets, pillows, etc. in the room.

   It's not that Jian Heng doesn't want to buy it, but that he is going back to China soon. Where can I buy these in the United States, where can I buy them cheaper in China? Jian Heng is going to use the space to be a porter across the ocean again.

   "The house is nice, full of life!" He Ye smiled and took a sip of tea, and after finishing his sentence, he turned and signaled his attendant to take out his things.

   "Come here, what gifts do you bring!" Jian Heng said politely when he saw He Ye took out a framed painting.

"Okay, don't be fake. It's not expensive. I asked someone for a picture of a horse. You can hang it on the wall to decorate your room." He Ye put the picture on Jian Heng without being too polite. hands.

Picking up the painting and looking at it, Jian Heng immediately fell in love with it. The ink-painted horse, with its hooves flying in the air and its mane flying, seemed to be neighing. The painting is not too big, forty to fifty centimeters square, but this horse just looks It makes people feel spiritual.

   "Thank you!" Jian Heng immediately thanked He Ye.

   Zuo Tong glanced at him, smiled and said to Jian Heng: "My things are a bit vulgar, but I'm just a vulgar person."

   As he spoke, he signaled his follower to take out the gift.

   Jian Heng saw that it was really vulgar enough, a transparent square box, and inside the box was a Jin Ruyi, not small in size, but judging by the posture of the servant, this thing must not be solid.

   But the implication is also very good, as you wish, everything goes well!
