It was already past ten o'clock in the morning when Ju An drove his car to Dinah's house. He had just stopped the car in the courtyard. Dinah heard the noise and walked out of the house. Two young people followed him out of the house.
Ju An has never seen the ladies. Judging from their facial shapes, they must be Dinah's two sisters.
After closing the car door, Ju An walked towards the house and climbed the steps. Dinah hugged Ju An's arm and introduced her to Ju An: "An, this is my eldest sister Carol, and my second sister Karen, this is me.
"My boyfriend An". After hearing this, Ju An shook hands with the two sisters and then followed them into the house.
When I got to the house, I saw that there were two handsome white men I didn’t recognize. One was about thirty years old, holding a baby in his arms, and the other was a little younger. Both of them were sitting on the sofa. Marcos
Sitting on the sofa where he usually sits with
While the two were chatting, everyone stood up when they saw Ju An coming in. Marcos followed up and introduced: "An, these are Dinah's two brothers-in-law, the eldest brother-in-law Billy, the second brother-in-law James, and this is Dinah.
"My boyfriend, Ann". Another round of handshakes and pleasantries followed.
After the greetings were over, Marcos motioned Ju An to sit on the sofa, while Carol picked up the baby from Billy's arms on the sofa, and the three sisters played with the baby on the side.
Ju An sat on the sofa and observed Dinah's two brothers-in-law. From the bottom of his heart, the two young men were more handsome than Ju An. Billy had black hair, blue eyes, and his face looked a bit like a younger version of George.
Clooney, especially Dinah's second brother-in-law James, has his blond hair tied into a small braid on the back of his head and a mustache around his lips. He is full of artistic spirit.
, perhaps due to the long hours of indoor work, the two white guys looked a little pale, and they looked like they often stayed up late. Compared with these two guys, Ju An's characteristics are obvious, that is, he is strong and strong.
After working out in the ranch, I added a few exercises to Mozi every day. My body became more and more toned, and now you can see neat abdominal muscles when you lift up your shirt.
After sitting on the sofa and chatting with Marcos and his two future brothers-in-law, Ju An suggested: "It's getting late. Let's all come to my ranch as guests."
"Well! I'll get the things and let's go." After Marcos said this, he patted the armrest of the sofa and stood up. Following Billy and James, Marcos also stood up. Marcos went to the cabinet and picked up a small long bag.
, then walked to the door, put on their coats, stuck their cowboy hats on their heads, called Melina, and the two old men walked out of the house and opened the door handle of an old green pickup truck outside.
He threw the bag up and got into the car.
Ju An saw Dinah's brother-in-law and sisters standing at the door, and said to Dinah: "Why don't your two sisters and brother-in-law go? Let's go together."
Dinah shook her head and said: "My sister's child is still young, and the farm needs someone to take care of it." After hearing this, Ju An followed the four people under the roof to say goodbye. He took Dinah into his GMC and started the car.
The car leads the way.
After the car drove out of Dinah's farm, Ju An said to Dinah: "Billy and James are very cool, they are both handsome guys."
Dinah smiled and said: "Young people look cool, but my dad looks a bit hippie. So my dad doesn't say it, but in his heart he feels that your appearance is more in line with his aesthetics."
As soon as he patted the steering wheel, Ju An praised: "After all, I have life experience. You can tell at a glance that I am a good young man who is smart and intelligent."
After hearing this, Dinah was stunned for a moment and then burst into laughter. In the end, her stomach almost hurt from laughing. While laughing, she said, "Aren't all Chinese people very humble? Why are you so thick-skinned?"
"Chinese people are of course humble in China. When they come to the United States, they become thick-skinned when they adapt to American life. In the past, when people in China praised me, I would be embarrassed to say something. But here, when people praise me, I immediately respond.
Hold out your chest and say thank you! Thank you!" After saying that, she squirmed in her seat, then straightened her chest, raised her head, and made a proud gesture. Dinah became happy again after seeing Ju An's stunt.
After watching Dinah finish laughing, Ju An asked Dinah: "Why do I think Marcos's car is so old? It must be twenty or thirty years old. The whole front of the car is like the old Chinese Jiefang truck I saw when I was a child.
It looks like a round engine cover."
Dinah thought for a moment and replied: "It has been more than thirty years since my grandfather bought it and has been driving it. Originally, I wanted to ask my father to buy a new car, but my father would proudly say that he just
I used this car to pay for my three daughters’ college tuition.”
"Then this can be considered an antique car. Look at the bumpy green paint. What if the fire breaks out halfway?" Ju An asked, and then asked: "How did I hear in China that the United States
The children here all have to work to pay their own tuition, so how come Marcos pays the tuition for you?"
Dinah said: "Despite its old appearance, many things inside have been changed. My father thought it was commemorative. My grandfather drove this car and taught my father how to drive. After my grandfather passed away, my father
It hasn't been replaced since it's been driven. In fact, the cost of repairing it is enough to buy two new cars." After speaking, he looked at Ju An and explained: "As long as they are able, parents will pay their children's tuition. The situation you are talking about is that parents
Those who can't afford the tuition will let their children take out loans, and then let the children pay it back slowly after they work. Some parents will even sell their houses to send their children to college. Generally, the good high schools here are close to wealthy areas, and some are not so good.
In order to provide their children with a good education, wealthy parents will work several jobs and then buy the smallest house in a wealthy area to live in, just so that their children can enjoy that kind of education."
Ju An shook his head and said: "It seems that American parents are pretty much the same as Chinese parents. They all want their children to be successful. When I was in China, I thought American students herded sheep all day long."
"When I was in elementary school, I did play a lot and there was no pressure. When I got to high school, it was very hard. At that time, I had to carry a pile of books every day when I went to school, and I had to do a lot of exercises every day. If I wanted to get a good grade,
In better universities, it's normal to stay up late and so on," Dinah said, shaking her head.
Damn, a lot of newspapers in this country are really talking nonsense. The American school students they introduced were herding sheep all day long. It made Ju An envious of the American little devils when he was in high school. In college, his buddies hung out all day long.
In the sea of questions, they still had to take the college entrance examination. It turned out that they were almost the same as their brothers. Now I felt more balanced.
While happily listening to Dinah telling herself about her hardships in high school, she drove the car. Soon Ju An took Marcos' car through the gate of his ranch. When he stopped in front of the house, his father and
His mother had already left the house and walked towards the car. Ju An quickly got out of the car.
As soon as the four old people met, Ju An introduced the four to each other. After the two sets of parents shook hands, everyone entered the house together. The Marcoses had seen most of the naughty boys in the house, but they didn't.
I’ve seen brothers Da Jin and Xiao Jin
After everyone sat down on the sofa, Ju An went to the kitchen to make tea and coffee for a few people. Dinah also came in to start something. As soon as Ju An saw Dinah coming in, he said: "What are you doing here?
I’m going to be a translator for some elderly people outside.”
Dinah said with a smile: "My mother can speak Chinese, not only can speak it but can also write it. Unlike me who can only speak a little Chinese but can't write it well. She has forgotten everything my grandfather taught me when she was a child."
Ju An felt relieved after hearing this. After making tea and coffee, Dinah walked into the living room with a tray. When she got to the living room, she saw that Melina was speaking Chinese, but with a slight accent.
Strange, not difficult to understand. She spoke much more fluently than Dinah. She was chatting with Ju An’s parents while translating to Marcos, and then translated Marcos’s words to Ju An’s parents. Although the four old people
He spoke a little slowly, but the atmosphere was still very harmonious.
Ju An secretly thanked God, Buddha and all the gods and Buddhas in the sky. Fortunately, this guy found someone of Chinese descent who could speak Chinese. This guy saved him so much trouble.
A few people chatted for a while, and then my mother stood up to make lunch. Melina stood up and went to the kitchen together. Dinah and Ju An accompanied Ju An's father and Marcos as translators.
The topic that Dad and Marcos talked about was around these animals at home, focusing on
He met his two favorite ruffian brothers, Da Jin and Xiao Jin. Obviously Marcos was also more interested in golden eagles. It seems that loving birds of prey is a common problem among men. Ju An translated Marcos’s words to his father, and Dinah
He translated his father's words to Marcos and acted as a microphone between the two old men.
When dinner was called at noon, I walked to the dining table and saw that there was a whole table full of Chinese food.
Ju An asked worriedly: "Do you want to get a steak or something?" He was a little worried that Marcos wouldn't be able to eat authentic Chinese food.
Melina smiled and said: "Marcos has no problem eating Chinese food. When he was in college, he had Chinese food seven or eight times a week. After we got married, we ate more. Our family basically ate Chinese food three times a month."
I eat Chinese food most of the time, so don’t worry.”
After hearing this, Ju An felt relieved. The two families gathered around the table and chatted quietly while eating. This was a bit of a Chinese habit. After listening to Melina's introduction, Ju An realized that Dinah
His mother’s surname was Mei and her first name was Lina, but after she got married, she put Marcos’ surname directly after her name.
After finishing the meal happily, the two families ate on the sofa. Ju An took out the rifle from the gun cabinet and took Marcos, his father, and Dinah to prepare to go out to hunt deer. (To be continued)
