It took two days for the domestic tour group to arrive. When the tour group arrived at Taylor's ranch, the tour guide called and asked Ju An to go over and retrieve the things Wu Ming had brought.
Ju An went over to take a look and saw that the good guy had a whole suitcase. Seeing that the little girl not only had a big box of clothes for him, but also such a big box of things for himself, he said to the little girl: "Wu Ming actually gave me
It's really troublesome for you to bring so many things, thank you very much."
The little girl smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, our Mr. Wu said that he doesn't know what will suit your taste, so he found some things for you that he could think of, as well as the ones that are easy to find in Jiangnan, according to your requirements.
, they are all worth tens of yuan, and Mr. Wu asked you to pay for them, and Mr. Wang still wants to find you for some things."
Ju An said with a smile: "Three or four of you are still in charge, and Wu Ming doesn't mind the trouble."
"We have hired a few more people this month. Now there are eight people in the company instead of the three of us. I am also considered an old employee," the little girl said happily.
Ju An said in surprise: "We're hiring again? Business is pretty good."
"Yes, everyone in the first tour group had a great time, and the members who returned were very satisfied with the food and accommodation. The boss's company that Mr. Wang knows has organized a second group to come, and now
Individual tourists have also organized a group and are getting visas. Mr. Wang even got us a red envelope." The little girl smiled, with a slight dimple at the corner of her mouth.
Ju An smiled and teased the little girl: "Then you two can be considered veterans."
"This is my business card, let me show it to you." The little girl took out a card from her pocket and handed it to Ju An with both hands.
Ju An took the business card and looked at it. It said, Xia Xiaolan, Business Manager. The entire business card was designed in a simple and elegant way, with one side in Chinese and one side in English.
"You've already been promoted," Ju An said jokingly.
Xia Xiaolan said happily: "Only two of us are managers, and the new one who joins the company is a business assistant."
After chatting with the little girl for a while, Ju An took the box, put it in the car, and drove back to his ranch.
So I took the box home and opened it. There were quite a lot of things. Small items from the south of the Yangtze River, such as big afu, purple clay pots, etc. I also got three or four Peking Opera masks, and a few more.
I brought several silk scarves with dragons and phoenixes printed on them, such as Chinese paintings and calligraphy.
After rummaging through the things in the box several times, he still hadn't decided what to give as a birthday gift to Dinah. Ju An looked at scarves, facial makeup, big afu, etc., all suitable for girls.
Yes, I scratched my head, and finally pointed casually with my eyes closed. When I opened my eyes, I saw it happened to be a red Peking Opera mask. Well, it’s you.
On the day of the party, Ju An finished the work at hand and drove into the town with the Peking Opera masks. He also had to choose greeting cards. When he came out of the store, Ju An's head was beaten. Good guy, what's inside?
There are so many cards, such as those for parents, friends, birthdays, and Chinese housewarming ones, etc. They are ordinary, electronic, and foldable and pull-out ones. Anyway, whatever you want.
Unexpectedly, the old American businessman had thought of having them all. As soon as he entered, it was like a sea of greeting cards. After swimming in the sea of greeting cards for a long time, his head was as big as an ox. Finally, with the help of the waiter, he chose an ordinary greeting card.
It cost Ju'an three US dollars, and of course the merchant's price was two point ninety-nine. After being introduced by the waiter, I paid the money, and then went to the service desk to help pack the Facebook, packaged it, and gave it away.
I bought a beautiful handbag. Of course, there is no free lunch in the world. These living expenses are all paid for by the shining ocean.
After changing clothes, he actually changed his checkered shirt into a white shirt, his jeans into casual dark trousers, and put on black leather shoes. It was almost 5:50 in the evening, and Ju An set off from the ranch.
, this is Nancy’s reminder, saying that if you don’t know how many people the host has invited, it’s better to arrive a little later, just more than half an hour late. Tell Ju An that this is called fashionably late in English.
Following the route provided by Dinah, Ju An drove for nearly forty minutes before arriving at the intersection of Dinah's farm. What Ju An learned from Lily was that Dinah's farm mainly grows pasture and produces green grains.
Feed, provided to sheep and cattle pastures.
When I arrived at the intersection of the farm, I saw a big white sign with the name of Dinah's farm written on it, and a small arrow indicating the direction. After driving for a few minutes, I followed the small arrow and saw a white gate.
Appeared in front of him, looking at the name on the door, Ju An knew that he had arrived. After driving a short distance, a dozen buildings of various sizes appeared in front of Ju An.
Under the guidance of an aunt, Ju An parked the car in an open space next to the house. There were already four or five cars parked there with gift bags. As soon as Ju An got out of the car, he heard the aunt who had led the way say with a smile.
: "You are Ann, I am Melina, Dinah's mother. I heard Dinah said that you are the first Chinese friend she has ever met. I hope you have a good time tonight."
When Ju An heard this, he quickly said, "Thank you."
Melina pointed to a small white wooden building and said, "The party is being held there. Some friends are already here. You can go in."
After entering the house, Ju An discovered that it was very nicely decorated, with the walls painted blue and a lot of balloons hanging around. There were already seven or eight people in the venue, in groups of two or three.
They were chatting and saw Ju An coming in. Everyone took a look and continued chatting. When Dinah saw Ju An coming in, she greeted him enthusiastically: "An, welcome to my birthday party."
Ju An handed the bag in his hand to Dinah and said: "Dina, happy birthday."
Dinah said thank you and opened the gift. When she saw a Peking Opera mask with a back plate on the back that could be hung on the wall, she said happily: "Thank you, I really like it. I'm on TV."
I’ve seen it, it’s a kind of Chinese opera.”
As soon as Ju An heard the opera, he explained: "It is a kind of Chinese drama. The oil paint on the face can tell whether the protagonist is good or bad. I don't know the details. I rarely watch operas."
An spread his hands and said.
Dinah smiled and said: "Just like many of our young people don't like opera?".
"I guess it's about the same," Ju An nodded.
Dinah led Ju An into the house, introduced the two people to Ju An, then walked away to take care of the other guests. After chatting with the two new people for a while, she saw Lily and Rui.
Qian came in with a handsome young man. Dinah, Lily, and Reese hugged each other. After Dinah accepted the gift, Ju An said sorry to the two people he had just met and walked over.
.
Lily saw Ju An coming over, greeted Ju An warmly, and then introduced: "This is Tom, my sister's boyfriend. Tom, this is Ann, I mentioned it to you."
After shaking hands with Tom, everyone walked to the table, picked up the drinks, walked aside, and started chatting. After chatting for a while, Tom took Reese to say sorry and went to say hello to others.
Lily said to Ju An: "This is your first time attending a birthday party?".
"How do you know?" Ju An said strangely.
Lily glanced at Ju An and said with a smile: "You look a little uncomfortable. In fact, the purpose of attending a party is to have fun and get to know more friends. In fact, communicating with people is very simple. Just walk over and say hello.
Then we start chatting, what is the weather like, what do you like, football games, etc. You have to know that you are not the only one who desires to communicate with others, everyone is like this, and you will relax a lot when you think about it.
No, you can drink some wine, and then remember to find someone simpler to start with. At every party, there will be someone watching alone in the corner with a wine glass. In fact, they are thinking the same thing as you, so you can go over and chat with them.
"You may feel uncomfortable and abrupt the first time, but after a few times, you will get used to it, and only in this way can you improve your ability to deal with strangers."
Ju An looked at Lily, who talked endlessly and taught others tirelessly, and laughed: "Thank you, I understand, why are you here alone? Don't you have a boyfriend?"
Lily said: "I am single now, and I don't plan to find a boyfriend in the near future. I will go to the east to go to college in a while, and I don't have time."
Ju An said strangely: "Going to college?".
Lily said proudly: "I have transferred from community college to a state university this year. Did you know that many state universities now do not allow community colleges to transfer. The competition is very fierce. I did it."
Ju An immediately raised the wine glass in his hand: "Lily is so awesome!" After speaking, he clinked the wine glass in Lily's hand. At this time, dinner was already set on the long table, and Dinah greeted everyone to sit down, and then
Then we had dinner, and everyone was chatting enthusiastically at the dinner table. Ju An just listened with his ears to the things that everyone thought were interesting, such as who made a fool of himself during the election.
After dinner, it was time for the birthday cake that Ju An was familiar with. The two-layered chocolate cake was placed on the table, and candles were lit. Everyone started singing Happy Birthday together. Ju An was just about to open his mouth to sing, and wished
Happy birthday to you. Unexpectedly, the song that the foreigner sang was not this song at all. Ju An could only curse inwardly, "Damn it, sir." After listening to others singing the birthday song, they mixed a cake, and then it was time to dance. A group of young foreigners
Then he began to twist his body.
After a few twists with Lily, Ju An found a place to sit down, grabbed a bottle of Coke and drank. After a while, Dinah came over and said, "An, why don't you dance?"
Ju An replied: "I'm not very good at dancing. I prefer to be quiet."
Dinah said: "It just so happens that I don't like noise very much, so let's go out and have a chat."
When he and Dinah walked outside the house, Ju An suddenly felt much more relaxed and said to Dinah: "Why do so many people like parties?"
Then I listened to Dinah talk about why young people are keen on parties. In Dinah's words, some people like to be lively, and some people like to meet the opposite sex at parties, and then do other things with a drink, such as hugging beautiful women.
Some people attend parties to expand their social circle.
After a while, Ju An said goodbye and left the party, and Dinah thanked Ju An again for the gift.
