Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant Chapter 143

  Chapter 143 Community Activities

   Chatted with Lin Hai and his wife for a while, left each other's contact information, said goodbye and went home.

  Holding Joanna's hand, when I walked near the door of the house, I found two girls were looking at the door, holding a bunch of posters in their hands, and they seemed to be looking for someone. An Feng walked over to say hello: "Hi, girls, can I help you?"

  They turned their heads and said politely: "Hello! We are community volunteers. Are you the new owner of this house?"

  An Feng said: "Yes, my surname is An, and this is my wife."

  Joanna nodded at them.

"Hello, sir and madam!" One of the black-haired girls said, taking out a few posters and handing them to them: "Here is the notice of activities in our community. Tomorrow afternoon, we will vote in the community park to decide the construction of the pier supermarket. I hope you Being able to attend on time and cast your vote."

  An Feng and Joanna took over the posters, and their community voting activities will vote on whether to allow the construction of a supermarket near the east pier.

   That is to say, investors who want to build a supermarket there don't just need to buy the land, the government will allow it. As long as the community residents don't agree, then I'm sorry!

   After reading the introduction, An Feng said, "Okay, we will participate on time."

  The two girls smiled and said, "Thank you, I wish you a happy life!"

The community culture in the United States is very prosperous. Different from the initial sprouts in China, when their material life is rich, their demand for spiritual culture is also gradually increasing. Therefore, large and small communities have emerged, with community parks, community libraries, and activities. In the center and other areas, there are also various community services, vehicle storage, front yard garden greening, child care, etc., which are very user-friendly.

The community is an organization that serves the residents of the area. There is an owner committee, and the members of the committee are elected by residents' votes. The votes here are aimed at community residents, not necessarily American citizens, so An Feng and Joanna also have community votes. right.

  In view of the history of Americans, they do not trust the government by nature, and they are used to finding neighbors or community residents to solve problems together, so the community is of great significance to them. As long as it is something that the residents vote for, the government has no right to interfere unless it is illegal.

  The next day happened to be Sunday, and everyone was free. Considering that in addition to voting, there would be some entertainment activities in the community park, I dressed casually. An Feng wore a white T-shirt and jeans. Joanna loves beauty, wearing an elegant white dress, flat shoes with a bow, and a hat with feathers.

As an Englishman, Joanna is also very hated. There are currently more than fifty hats in her family, and the trend is still high. Consider converting a guest room into a dedicated shoe closet.

  Joanna looked in the mirror and asked An Feng: "Do you think it's okay for me to look like this?"

  An Feng looked at it and nodded: "Very good, fresh and natural style next door, the boy's dream lover."

  She turned around: "What about you?"

   "Big love!" An Feng sincerely praised, "Especially when the pure girl shows her unique side to me."

  The moving side is mostly because she can't help herself and does something that makes An Feng boil...

   "Ah! You are here again!" Joanna was ashamed and immediately chased him.

   Fighting and coming downstairs, Joanna said that she was tired and would not take a few more steps even if she was beaten to death, so she insisted on asking An Feng to carry her on her back. He had no choice but to carry her to the garage, muttering on the way: "Your British lady's integrity will probably be lost in a few years! The American cultural invasion is too powerful! Learn less from them in the future!"

  Joanna laughed. She was taking revenge on An Feng for deliberately teasing her.

  Although this community park is only three kilometers away from them, like other lazy Americans who can drive but are absolutely unwilling to take a few steps, they choose to drive out. But there was a reason for An Feng's incident. After participating in the event, they planned to drop by San Francisco to find something to eat.

  Excuses are fine, but what's the point of running in the morning?

  Recreational driving must be a sports car, and it must be a convertible. The Porsche 918 is sci-fi and trendy. To be honest, not many people in the rich area can drive this kind of limited supercar. They have lived in it for less than a month, and the surrounding neighbors almost remember this young and rich couple through their cars. couple.

With the wind blowing, I parked with other cars in the parking lot at the entrance of the park. In view of the good local law and order and the trouble of manually installing the roof, An Feng raised the window and got out of the car, closed the door and opened the roof, and pulled his wife away... On the road, I met some Say hello to someone who passes by once or twice.

  Community activities are full of strange things. When An Feng was in the vineyard, the local community was very absurd, such as "how to train hunting dogs to drive away mice". According to the news from his father-in-law Frank, the men also held a "Conference on How to Deal with a Suspicious Wife".

  The location of the event was on the grass in the park, and a ballot box was set up in front of the roadside benches, and several staff members were busy. As for the bear children running around on the grass and the parents who were sitting on the ground and preparing for a picnic... This is probably a big family gathering in the community, who makes everyone have a strong sense of family.

  An Feng also ran into Lin Hai and his wife whom he had met yesterday, and beside them, a tall, thin girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a long-sleeved printed shirt, pencil pants, high heels, and trendy dress. This should be their daughter who came to high school, she looks a bit youthful and rebellious.

  Gao Jie smiled and introduced: "This is my daughter Lin Xiaofei. Xiaofei, please say hello, this is the older brother and sister I told you about yesterday."

  Lin Xiaofei was particularly unimpressed with her parents, but coolly stretched her fist at An Feng: "What-up?"

  An Feng also bumped his fist with her: "Fine!"

  Gao Jie frowned: "Okay, why not learn from those black people?"

   "Racial discrimination." Lin Xiaofei rolled his eyes.

  Lin Hai also reminded: "Pay attention to your manners, don't make it half black and half white."

  Lin Xiaofei pouted silently in protest.

  Gao Jie said to them: "I'm really sorry."

  Joanna said understandingly: "Children are very rebellious when they are in adolescence. The more you talk about it, the more she will resist these concepts."

  Lin Xiaofei turned to look at her: "You are so beautiful."

  Joanna smiled and nodded: "Thank you, such a beautiful girl."

   "Oh?" Lin Xiaofei looked at her.

  Joanna commented: "Pencil pants are very good. They match your slim figure and are in line with this year's American trend, but the clothes are not up to standard."

  Lin Xiaofei looked down and said, "I also think the clothes are a little uncoordinated."

  Joanna pointed her out: "Given your figure, it's best to wear a light pink long-sleeved shirt with a tight waist and a bright red bag."

   Lin Xiaofei imagined.

   "Taylor-Swift's summer street style retro style." Joanna prompted.

   "I like Taylor!" Lin Xiaofei seemed to like this style very much, "You are amazing, I have to throw this dress away when I go back."

   At this point in development, Lin Hai and Gao Jie admired Joanna, mainly after changing her floral shirt, it alleviated the rebellious girl's secondary syndrome.

When she was with Joanna, Lin Xiaofei talked a lot. She didn't deliberately confront her parents to be rebellious. Instead, she humbly asked for advice, how to play with trends, how to keep up with the rhythm of the United States, how to practice daily spoken English, how to deal with interpersonal relationships, How to deal with female school bullies...

  An Feng said to the stupefied Lin Hai couple: "How about it? Be patient and cater to the children's fun. This method may be more effective."

  Gao Jie nodded: "Mrs. An really has a way, you must be very good at educating children."

  An Feng smiled: "Haha, we don't have any children yet."

  Gao Jie smiled: "Sooner or later, but the girl is quite young, so there is no rush."

  An Feng smiled and nodded. Then he pointed to the grass on the side: "Let's sit down for a while and listen to the opinions of other residents, as a reference or something."

  Lin Hai said: "Yes, this kind of weather is the most suitable for chatting nonsense in China."

During the chat, I learned that both Lin Hai and his wife have stable investments in China. Considering their children's education and yearning for the foreign world, they immigrated here specially, but they are not very familiar with the local area. Take it easy and walk around.

And the previous job was actually a red wine sales agent, or a high-end imported wine from Australia. After coming to California, I also had the same idea. No matter how good a group of foreign devils are, it is difficult for them to move forward.

  After thinking about it, An Feng said: "I do have a vineyard with about 300 acres. I plan to make some red wine, but I don't have proper marketing management."

  Vineyards are managed by full-time staff, but after establishing a brand and wanting to market it, it requires partners, appropriate marketing methods, and so on.

  An Feng said: "Are you interested in taking a look at the garden?"

  Lin Hai said pleasantly: "Okay, as long as you have time, we can leave at any time, and we can also treat it as a tour."

  An Feng said: "That's no problem, but we've been a little busy recently. Joanna and I are planning a wedding, so it may be after October."

Chatting, not in a hurry to vote, discussing with white people who have reservations around, most of the white people are very enthusiastic, easy to get along with, and they don't try to show superiority, at least An Feng didn't meet — of course, he drove millions If you have a car and a plane worth tens of millions, you have to be superior.

The white people here are very enthusiastic and have made many friends. A native American named Sam said: "In fact, it is quite good to build a supermarket near the pier. The residents in the north are separated from the urban area by a canal, across It was very troublesome in the past, but there is a supermarket here, which will save a lot of trouble.”

  Some people agreed: "Building a supermarket means having a wide public parking lot. It will be much more convenient to find a place to park while towing a yacht."

For An Feng, it doesn't matter whether he disagrees or agrees. Anyway, he is far away from him, and he can't be disturbed by noise. On the contrary, everyone tends to agree, so following the crowd, he also filled out the vote of approval and signed his name. Solemnly put into the ballot box - I felt a lot of emotion for a while, I have never seen what a ballot looks like in my life, even college voting is verbal, it is really rare to be able to persist until I vote and really influence the decision-making scene.
