Little Life on An American Ranch Chapter 175

  Chapter 175 Trivia

  Jian Heng ate breakfast for more than half an hour in a daze, sitting and running two or three groups of people, then picked up the breakfast he brought home, and walked home slowly.

  At 6:30, the small town also started to get busy. There were more cars on the road and people waiting for the bus at the station. Most of the pedestrians are the same as those in the city. Those who ride bicycles are in a hurry, and those who are standing at the bus station waiting for the bus are mostly bow-headed people, constantly holding their phones with their fingers.

  When he returned to his yard, Jian Zhenhua had already washed the car, and the brand new Q5 looked particularly beautiful under the sunlight.

   Carrying breakfast, I went up to the second floor. As soon as I opened the door of the main room, I heard my father ask, "Why have you been here for so long?"

   Looking again, the father in the main room has already set up the table, and the plates and bowls are all neatly arranged. He is sitting by the table and looking at his son with a puzzled expression.

   "Aren't people allowed to eat breakfast quietly?" Jian Heng put the breakfast in his hand on the table, and then looked towards the third floor: "Is Ning Ning awake?"

   "Brother, I'm here!"

   Jian Heng hadn't finished speaking when he heard his little sister's voice coming from the side room of Ermodao, and then realized that her sister was sleeping with her mother.

  Smiling, she pushed open the door of the side room, and saw the little girl wearing floral underpants and a pink long-sleeved shirt of Xiaolu, holding a rice stick in her hand, jumping on the bed while biting.

Jade sticks are the kind that are made by machine. In addition to white, sometimes there are purple potato color, pink and so on. Generally, a small four-wheeled truck is used to make this thing, and it is parked on the side of the road. Open the stall and start the machine, and then pour rice into the machine. It is soft when it comes out, and then stretched out and folded, it becomes rice sticks of similar length, of course, there are also like mosquito coils. It's all the same thing anyway.

   This thing costs five yuan a bag, and children can eat it while playing with it. It is a good snack.

   "Brother, let's dance together!" The little girl was very happy, took a bite of the rice stick in her hand, and then kept jumping and laughing on the bed.

   "You little man, what if you broke the bed?" Jian Heng walked to the side of his sister, stretched out his hand to put his hands on the little girl's creaking nest, and hugged her up.

   "No, I still want to dance!" Ning Ning no longer had the strangeness of yesterday, and could not stop writhing in Jian Heng's arms.

   "Eat early, if it weren't for the tofu rolls, there would be nothing!" Jian Heng scratched Ning Ning's little nose with one hand, and said dotingly.

  Holding his sister out of the side room, and sitting the little **** a chair, Jian Heng helped Ning Ning pick up the hot and spicy soup, then made a small plate and put a fried tofu roll in front of Ning Ning.

  As soon as the little girl saw the spicy soup and tofu rolls, she casually threw the rice sticks in her hand on the table.

   "Have you washed your face and brushed your teeth?" Sun Xiuying happened to come out at this time, saw the little girl in pajamas and sat down at the table, and immediately asked with a cold face.

  Ning Ning was a little afraid of her mother. Seeing Sun Xiuying's appearance, she immediately closed her small mouth that was close to the bowl. You held me with two small hands, and I held you back and forth a few times.

   "No, but, it was my brother who brought me over for dinner!" Ning Ning quickly sold Jian Heng.

   "Go wash your face and brush your teeth before eating!" Sun Xiuying said.

  Ningning immediately raised her little foot, shook it at her mother twice, and continued to make excuses: "I don't have shoes!"

   "Go, get your sister's shoes" Sun Xiuying ordered Jian Heng.

  Jian Heng turned around and walked into the house.

  Ning Ning immediately put forward his request after seeing it: "Brother, I want to wear a bear!"

   "What bear?" Jian Heng asked his mother with a puzzled expression as he knew that shoes were divided into bears and puppies.

  Sun Xiuying said: "It's the shoes you just bought, the one with a little bear on the upper, the brown bear, and the one with the pink bottom!"

   Seeing her son's confused face, Sun Xiuying couldn't take it anymore, she waved her hand and said, "Okay, I'll get it myself, you sit down!"

  Jian Heng has bought a lot of things, but he doesn't remember what bear shoes he bought. These things have been bought for almost a month, and they have not been touched in the space. Jian Heng really can't remember if he has these bear shoes.

  Sun Xiuying's movements were quick and quick, and in an instant, she took out the bear shoes that her daughter wanted, put them in Ningning's hands, and watched her put them on her feet.

   Jian Heng wanted to reach out to help, but Sun Xiuying stopped him with his eyes.

  Smiled at his mother, Jian Heng remembered what he was going to do today, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Mom, have you not let go of your craft all these years?"

   "What craft?" Sun Xiuying asked.

  Sun Xiuying used to work as a quality inspector in a textile factory for a period of time, and she has some knowledge about fabrics. Jian Heng is not planning to buy high-quality new materials here. If it is not cotton, it will definitely not escape Sun Xiuying's eyes.

"Didn't I tell you last time, I need to buy some sheets, quilts, etc. There are dozens of beds, and I want all cotton. I'm not good at buying these. Why don't you come with me today? ?”

  Jian Heng just remembered at this time that if he wanted to buy these things here, he had better bring his mother along, not to mention, but to say that the skill of bargaining is hard for Jian Heng.

  Sun Xiuying immediately said after hearing this: "So it's this one, don't go searching around, make a list, and I'll buy it for you! You just stay at home and play with your sister honestly."

  Jian Heng frowned when he heard that he was taking his sister at home: "Can't Dad take it? I have other things to do today, and I'm going to the countryside."

   "What are you going to do in the countryside? We don't have any relatives in the countryside, and besides, we have to go to your uncle's house at night!" Sun Xiuying said.

   "There is a shortage of cattle dogs on my ranch, and it is not easy to get them in the United States, so I plan to get a few from China and ship them to the United States. Let's go to my uncle's house early tomorrow." Jian Heng said.

Sun Xiuying and Jian Zhenhua didn't know what a cattle dog was either. They thought that since their son came to China to get them, it must be that domestic dogs have the characteristics of domestic dogs, so they skipped the search and started giving them to their son directly. some advices.

Jian Zhenhua said: "Then you don't have to run like a headless chicken. You can go and see where there is a fair. Usually, if the local dog is full moon, someone will rush to the fair, and half sell and half give away. Wait. I'll make a few phone calls later to help you find out which places in the countryside hold fairs today, just drive there and look for them.”

   "I didn't think of this at all. Okay, then you can ask me after you finish your meal. Is it easy to go on this road?" Jian Heng asked.

Sun Xiuying said: "It's easy to walk, why is it not easy to walk, now that the roads are open to the door, you think it's like when you were a child, when it rained when you went back to your hometown, the road was half water and half mud, now it's all asphalt roads, four or five There is no problem with cars side by side, don't worry, your car won't be hurt.”

  Jian Heng said with a wry smile: "I didn't tell you earlier, I rented a domineering car today! If you said earlier that I just changed cars with my brother-in-law, wouldn't it be fine?"

   "It's not suitable for your brother-in-law to drive your car to work, that's fine, let's rent it." Jian Zhenhua opened his mouth after hearing this.

  Sun Xiuying thought for a while: "Then rent it, but if you want to go, take your sister with you!"

   "Where's my dad?" Jian Heng definitely likes his younger sister. But I'm not very happy to take her with me when I go out for a run, because when a little girl of a few years is going crazy, she will disappear if she can't see her.

   "Your father, do you think you can stay free today? Besides, I don't dare to let Ningning go crazy in his car. It won't be too late for him to sit in his car." Sun Xiuying explained the reason.

  Jian Heng agreed when he heard it, so he nodded and said, "That's fine, I'll find a belt later!"

   Speaking of which, Jian Heng remembered that there were still some two-finger-wide cowhide strips in his space, which were originally intended to weave horse bridles or something, and they could just be used to tie little girls first.

Ning Ning didn't know at this time that her brother was going to tie herself up with a strap for the horse. At this time, she had already put on the bear shoes, and she turned over happily, turned from the chair, then slipped to the ground, and trotted I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth, and seeing my daughter running to brush her teeth, Sun Xiuying had to stand up again and go to the bathroom to help squeeze toothpaste or something.

After breakfast, it was only past seven o'clock. Jian Zhenhua couldn't wait to drive the car out, and saw that he directly shifted to the D gear without refueling, and just relied on the strength of the D gear, and carefully got into the car. The road, and then slowly slid the car against the flower bed on the side of the road like a turtle.

  Jian Heng saw his father driving from the window, shook his head involuntarily, and thought: It's a good thing he didn't let him drive back last night, or else he would have to eat this breakfast on the way this morning!

I was watching my dad driving, when I suddenly felt someone pulling my clothes, I turned around and saw that it was Ning Ning, the little girl was holding a corner of her clothes with one hand, and holding a girl who was almost half her size in the other hand. rag doll. Behind him was the Laizhou Red and Black Tiger at home.

   "Brother, can we take Maomao with us when we go out today?" Ning Ning looked up at Jian Heng expectantly.

   Jian Heng asked: "Who is Mao Mao?"

  Ning Ning raised her little arm, signaling the doll in her hand.

   "Okay, let's take Mao Mao," Jian Heng said.

  Back in the house, Jian Heng watched his younger sister play while he pretended to take out a two-finger wide cowhide strip from the trunk, and then directly measured it around the little girl's waist.

   "Ningning, come here!"

   Jian Heng knocked out fixed silver nails, and made a leather loop like an underarm holster, so that the little girl's arm can be strangled. Fix the person.

   Waiting for Ning Ning to come over, Jian Heng gestured again, took a leather strip about twenty centimeters, and fixed the leather loops on both sides.

   After a burst of clanging sounds, Jian Heng made the sharp tool for going out to sneak children out.

  Put the final product on Ning Ning's body, just right!
