In the afternoon, the two families returned to the beach villa, while Wang Fan and Ju An drove out to buy things in preparation for their family trip to the sea tomorrow.
The two of them drove to a nearby supermarket and bought a lot of things. Then they drove directly home. As soon as they entered the house, they saw everyone sitting in the living room, surrounding the TV and watching TV. Dai
Na, Cora, mom and dad all sat in front of the TV. Even Audrey, the strict housekeeper, stood in front of the TV and covered her mouth, watching the TV.
Teddy and others were squatting in the room. On Monday, a few of them sneaked into the coffee table and scratched the edge of the coffee table. They stretched out their hind legs and stared at the pictures on the TV with their little heads erect. They didn’t know this.
An animal is following along to join in the fun.
"What's going on?" Ju An immediately asked Dinah. He looked at the TV screen and saw a large number of police officers flashing in front of the camera. There was not even a single person on the street.
Every police officer is armed with a loaded gun, wearing a body armor and a helmet.
Wang Fan sat down and turned around and asked, "What kind of explosion case is this?".
Cora turned to Wang Fan and explained: "It's not an explosion, it's two bank robbers! Just after robbing the bank, they happened to encounter a patrol car. Thinking that the patrolling police had discovered them, they opened fire. Two
One of the policemen is dead and the other injured, and they are now on the run, and the police are preparing to round them up."
As soon as Cora finished speaking, the sound of gunfire came from the TV. When Ju An understood the name of the city below, he felt relieved. This U.S.-Mexico border city is called Little Iraq in the United States. The main residents are Hispanics.
And black people. If there is one day a year when you don’t hear gunshots, it’s probably the New Year.
.As for petty robberies and the like, that's child's play. It is estimated that less than half of the young people in this city belong to gangs. There are a lot of red gangs and blue gangs. Last time I heard that one of them was lying there for more than half an hour after the police came in.
I came out wearing it because I was wearing a red jumper in the territory of the Blue Gang.
The whole live broadcast lasted for about more than an hour, and more and more police began to gather. At this time, no gang members could be seen on the entire street. Ju An even saw the National Guard in the team. He heard
Gunshots kept coming from the TV.
Not long after, the helicopter filming from the sky captured the shadow of a person being hit by a gunshot. Then a car rushed out of the house and ran over the person who was hit. The sound of gunfire became intensive again.
The car rang, and the car hit a wall on the roadside not long after driving, and the entire front of the car was crushed in.
Finally, the police announced that the robbers had been killed and the martial law was over. Then suddenly, people appeared on the street again, and the police withdrew one after another. Only the reporters talked endlessly to the camera about what happened. It turned out that
The one who was hit was the brother who was driving. He was trying to escape from this man.
When Ju An saw this place, he was no longer interested. With his skills in fighting robbers, it would be great to sweep up the gangsters by the way. Those who are suspected can be arrested directly, and those who should be imprisoned should be sentenced. This is a waste of taxpayers' money.
Once, I just killed two robbers and left. Sometimes, as people say, democracy is inefficient.
My mother looked at it in a thrilling way and couldn't help but murmur, "It's really unsafe here." Of course, Montana has never seen this before. It looked like a Hollywood movie. In Nien's words, Montana involved
The biggest case was the divorce case, and I had been looking forward to a robbery for more than a year. When I arrived in California, I met a bank robber when I first arrived. He was also robbed last time. This is where criminals gather.
Same America, different life.
Now that the show has been finished and the two families sitting there have dispersed, it’s time to do whatever you have to do. Ju An was heading into the house to change clothes when he remembered the phone call at home. Audrey answered the phone and spoke for two minutes.
Then he said to Ju An: "Sir! Your phone number."
"Who?" Ju An was stunned for a moment. It was a bit strange that he could still reach the villa after calling his friend.
Audrey held the phone and said to Ju An: "Mr. Katzenberg is calling." Seeing that Ju An continued to be confused, Audrey explained: "She lives in the house over there." After that, she said
He pointed with his hand.
Oh! Then Ju An remembered that an old Jewish man he met on vacation last year took two steps and took the phone from Audrey: "Hello! Katzenberg, I haven't seen you for a long time.
". He suddenly changed into an affectionate tone, as if he was chatting with an old friend.
Katzenberg said with a smile: "I saw your plane at the airport, so I called to see if you were coming." The old man also had a private plane, but it was smaller than Ju An's.
Some.
"I arrived yesterday afternoon, and I was just getting ready to go on vacation with my whole family." Ju An touched the phone and pushed Wang Fan aside on the sofa and sat on the sofa.
Katzenberg continued: "Do you have any activities at night? If not, come to my house."
Ju An thought for a moment but nothing happened at night: "There are not many activities at night. You are planning to have a dance party again." This old man is a person who enjoys life. Based on last year's experience, there will be no two dance parties this week.
Find someone to come to your house to have some fun, I guess this old man is feeling unwell.
"It's not a dance, you can just come by yourself. I just learned a game that you Chinese play, mahjong! You happened to be here. I asked you to come over tonight and let's play mahjong." Katzenberg said cheerfully to Ju An
explained.
Damn it! You guys are so messed up. A Jewish old man asks his buddies to play mahjong. Can you do it with the skills you just learned? Although my buddies are not very good at playing, they are definitely much better than you, a foreigner who just learned it. I won’t let you play today.
Once you see what it means to be Chinese, you won't be able to remember it. When playing mahjong, you actually ask a Chinese to be the partner: "Okay! I'll go over after dinner."
"Then I'm looking for someone, and there's still a shortage of people," Katzenberg said.
Ju An glanced at Wang Fan beside him who was pressing the remote control boredly, and said to the phone: "I have one here, so don't look for it. I will take him with me when the time comes."
Katzenberg said excitedly: "That's great! It saves me asking people who are not familiar with me." He then told Ju An to arrive early and hung up the phone.
Wang Fan watched Ju An put down the phone and asked, "What's going on? Are you still going to take me with you?".
"An old Jewish man is looking for someone to play mahjong. People who have just learned this game are addicted to it. Now they are looking for a partner. I recommend you to go with me," Ju An said with a smile.
Wang Fan rubbed his hands after hearing this and said, "Aren't you giving me money for playing with your mahjong skills?"
Ju An chuckled twice: "Don't think about my brother's money, there are two foreigners here, let's win against them when the time comes." Then the two of them looked at each other and laughed.
Just after dinner in the evening, Ju An and Wang Fan talked with their families and walked towards Katzenberg's villa together.
After reaching the door and ringing the doorbell, the housekeeper opened the door and immediately said to Ju An and Wang Fan: "Two gentlemen, please come in quickly! Our husband has been waiting for you for a while." Ju An and Wang Fan talked to each other.
After taking one look, he followed the butler in. He immediately defined this Jew in his mind. This novice was crazy for wanting to give away money.
Following the housekeeper into the recreation room of the old man's house, he saw an old man and a man in his forties who were residents of the community sitting next to an automatic mahjong machine. They were each holding a book and flipping through it. Ju An
I looked at the cover and it said how to play mahjong well.
Ju An secretly smiled, and it was too late to see if this was temporary. Seeing Ju An come in, Katzenberg put down the book and stood up happily. Ju An introduced Wang Fan to the two
People, everyone just exchanged pleasantries and then started fighting.
After throwing away the dice, Ju An started to pick up the cards. He was pretty lucky. He had three cards and Katzenberg threw a trip.
Ju An immediately shouted: "Bump!". He was about to reach out and take the three items thrown by Katzenberg in front of him. Who knew that Katzenberg immediately stopped him and said: "This does not comply with the rules!".
Ju An and Wang Fan both stared at each other. Is there any way to play mahjong without touching? Then the two of them looked at Katzenberg curiously.
The old man snapped his fingers at the servant standing behind the card table, and the servant handed the book to the old man. He didn't look at anything else, just looked at the old man's expression. If he hadn't been sitting here, Ju An would still have
I thought I was filming God of Gamblers.
The old man opened the book and said to Ju An and Wang Fan: "This mahjong is not allowed to be touched, you can only...". After listening to the old man explaining a circle of rules, he made Ju An and Wang Fan
My head is so big, I can’t touch it, I can’t eat it, and there’s no bar, so how can I play this thing?
After listening to what the old man said, Ju An took the book from the old man's hand, and then looked at it himself, how to play mahjong well. There is a small note below, compiled by the American Mahjong Association! Damn! What is compiled by the American Mahjong Association?
What a thing. After flipping through it for a few times, Ju An’s head got dizzy. As a Chinese who has been exposed to the national quintessence of mahjong since childhood, he actually no longer knows how to play mahjong when he came to the United States.
"This is the standard American Mahjong Association gameplay. If you change the gameplay every two years, the association will publish a book, which can be purchased by all American Mahjong Association members. This means that each time the Mahjong Association updates the rules, it only lasts two years.
"Expiration date" Katzenberg pointed at the book and said: "Today we will follow the new rules."
What can Ju An and Wang Fan say? They can only listen to the old Jewish man introducing the rules, and then play according to the so-called nonsense rules of the American Mahjong Association. After becoming familiar with the rules, the two old Americans are not
It's my opponent. Wang Fan has won the most times, but he still has a grimace. Why? It's not gambling. It doesn't bring any luck. Today, the two of them are here to accompany the Jewish old man to cultivate their feelings.
After ten o'clock, Ju An and Wang Fan came out of the old man's house on the pretext of going back to rest. As soon as they got home, they searched online for the American Mahjong Association. This search revealed that there is such an association.
There are actually six to seven million people in the United States who have joined the Mahjong Association. People make money by selling rules books. They update them every two years and sell them every two years. This is a good business.
"Damn! Next time the Americans ask me to play mahjong, I won't even go there." Wang Fan said to Ju An. Ju An nodded sympathetically. (To be continued.)
