The four elders were in high spirits, but Zhang Chi soon couldn't hold it any longer. First, they had been in the car for a long time, and second, Zhang Chi had already gone to bed at this point.
Li Xiumei soon noticed that her son was yawning, so she said, "Go to bed if you feel sleepy. Your house has been tidied up for you."
After hearing this, Zhang Chi said: "Grandpa, grandma, parents, I'm going to bed first."
"Go, go, it's quite tiring at the end of the day."
The elders said one after another.
Zhang Chi then took his small bag and returned to his room.
The room was tidy and tidy. The temperature here was not low. It was only about two or three degrees at night. It was much higher than the temperature in Zhang Chi's pasture. So Zhang Chi washed himself, went to bed and put a thick quilt over his body.
As soon as I covered it, I didn't feel too cold and fell asleep after a while.
The old people in the main room were not asleep. After a while, they made a video call to Zhang Chi's sister Zhang Juan. They chatted for an hour. After calling until their mobile phones ran out of battery, they plugged in the power again and continued chatting.
Zhang Chi slept until dawn. When he got up and went to wash up, he found his father squatting at the door of the main room, playing with the dog.
"Dad, you got up so early?"
It was only around six o'clock in the morning, and Zhang Chi was curious as to why his father got up so early.
"I couldn't sleep, so I got up early." Zhang Youpeng saw his son getting up, so he stood up and said with a smile.
At this time, grandma Miao Guifang came out of the pot house, stood at the door of the pot house, smiled at her grandson and said: "Your dad, I guess he didn't sleep much all night, he just wanted to buy a car at dawn. Look.
He looks like he has no future."
"Mom, I didn't sleep there, I just woke up." Zhang Youpeng was a little embarrassed.
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "It's okay, this is the first time I bought a car. I was happy buying a second-hand car at that time."
"Second-hand cars are good, why don't we buy a second-hand one this time? It's my first time for Dad to drive, so he doesn't feel bad if a second-hand car crashes."
At this time, Li Xiumei came out. Anyway, as long as it can save money, Li Xiumei is very interested.
Zhang Chi said: "Forget about second-hand cars, we don't know anyone, so don't be in trouble if you buy a bad car."
Although he lives in the United States, he still knows a little about the used cars in China, because everyone in the classmate group sometimes mentions these things. In short, in order to reduce trouble, Zhang Chi will never buy a used car. There is no way.
There were too many tricks, and he didn't think he could beat those car dealers.
At this point, China still has a lot of room for improvement compared to the United States.
"I'll call a taxi later. We can probably walk to the city now," Zhang Chi said.
"How long does it take to get to the city? An hour at most. Now that we've arrived, the door hasn't opened yet, and the car won't run away if we leave it there. Why are we in a hurry?" Li Xiumei said.
Zhang Chi said: "Not only this, I also have to change money. All I bring are U.S. dollars, and I can't change them into RMB."
"Oh, no one will change it so early, and the bank won't open until half past nine," Li Xiumei said.
After saying that, Li Xiumei said again: "Your sister will drive over soon, and you two will go in the same car."
"Aren't you going?" Zhang Chi asked.
Li Xiumei said: "You just have to decide what I'm going to do. I have to go to work today, and I'll deduct more than 100 yuan a day for asking for leave."
Zhang Chi said: "I will supply you with more than one hundred. It is a big deal for us all to buy a car together. I will send a message to my sister later and ask my brother-in-law to drive over. When the time comes, we will have a car and send my brother-in-law to class. My sister and I will drive
, let’s go buy a car together.”
The family has a large population, and if it were just my family, a car with five people would be just right, but if my sister comes over and she likes to join in the fun, how could she not go? In this case, two cars will be needed to accommodate them.
He originally thought about buying a pickup truck or something, but now he thought it was inappropriate. With so many people in his family going out, he couldn't leave two people in the car, so Zhang Chi made up his mind to get a bigger car.
After much deliberation, it seems that an MPV is more suitable for my large family.
When Zhang Youpeng heard what his son said, he smiled and said: "Can your brother-in-law bear it? He will definitely go with him. This family loves to join in the fun."
Zhang Chi listened to it with joy.
My sister and brother-in-law both live in the county town, and the pace of life is naturally very slow. Moreover, one is a teacher and the other is a civil servant, both of which are good careers.
My sister was doing better, and she couldn't escape from class. My brother-in-law was a little confused when he went to work. Paddling was normal, but in Zhang Chi's eyes it couldn't be called paddling, so he went straight to the river to swim.
Anyway, he doesn't care much about getting promoted or not. If you don't have any desires, there really won't be anyone to control you.
Zhang Chi went to wash up and just wiped his face with a towel when he heard the sound of a car outside.
"coming!"
Zhang Youpeng heard the noise and came to the gate. When he opened the gate, he saw a red car parked at the door.
Zhang Chi was a little dumbfounded, someone had arrived at this time?
I stretched my head and saw, who else could it be but my sister?
"Dad!" Zhang Juan called someone and then walked into the yard.
Glancing at her younger brother, Zhang Juan said, "Dachi, have you grown taller?"
"Have you grown taller?" Zhang Chi was a little surprised: "Maybe you haven't seen me for too long."
Zhang Juan came closer, gestured, and asked her brother: "You have indeed grown taller. My head was on your neck, but now it only reaches your shoulders. You have grown five or six centimeters, at least!"
Zhang Chi had no interest in talking about this matter with his sister. He must have said it politely. You are almost as thin as a woman, so he greeted his brother-in-law who came in: "Brother-in-law, morning!"
"Morning, early!"
Sun Yanping smiled at his brother-in-law, and then asked Miao Guifang: "Grandma, can I help you?"
Zhang Juan smiled at her husband and said: "You are the only one who knows how to do it. The person who doesn't help the oil bottle at home will open his mouth to find a job as soon as he comes to his hometown. He is just a fake person."
"Look at what you said, why don't you show it off and let others show it off?" Sun Yanping smiled and didn't care at all.
"No, no, just wait for the meal." Miao Guifang was so happy that her grandson came back today, and her granddaughter's family also arrived.
"Where is Xiaoxiao?" Miao Guifang quickly thought of her great-grandson. It would be better if the child could come.
"Xiaoxiao went to school today, and I sent him to his grandparents' place," Zhang Juan said.
It’s not that the child doesn’t want to come, he jumps to come as soon as he opens his eyes, but it’s just that the child wants to go to school and there is really no way to bring him.
After finishing speaking, Zhang Juan asked her younger brother: "Where are the clothes you bought for me? What style are they?"
There was no way to be polite to my younger brother Zhang Juan. He naturally said whatever came to mind and asked where the gift was.
Zhang Chi really didn't know where his mother and the others had taken the things, so he said, "Ask mom."
"Mom, where are the things?" Zhang Juan walked towards the kitchen.
After asking where the things were, Zhang Juan went directly to her mother's room to look for them.
Sun Yanping was standing in the yard with his brother-in-law, and asked him how the ranch was going.
He didn't understand what Zhang Chi said, but as a brother-in-law, he listened very seriously.
"There is a bit of chaos in the United States during this period. You should pay attention to your personal safety," Sun Yanping said.
Zhang Chi laughed and said, "Why does it seem like everyone knows about this?"
"What's wrong with this? Things in the United States are always on the news. It's a mess. If it doesn't work, just come back," Sun Yanping said.
Zhang Chi said: "Actually, it's not that serious. Many things happen in big cities and have little to do with small places."
Public security in cities in the United States is quite poor now. Of course, this refers to the place where ordinary people live. The communities where rich people live are quite safe. The main reason is that rich people can hire the police. Ordinary people should ask for their own blessings.
.
Nowadays, when living in a city, especially a very big city, the most important thing is not to go to crowded places. If one or two perverts appear, you will have to deal with them.
However, in a small place like where Zhang Chi lives, it is unlikely that such a thing would happen. Even if it did happen, most of the gunmen would probably be killed.
Because many cowboys keep guns in their cars when they go out, and many of them even have gun licenses that allow them to carry guns in public places, so if a gunman appears there will definitely be a counterattack, and most cowboys are pretty good at shooting.
It's just that I can't explain this matter clearly to my brother-in-law, it would be a waste of words.
"Is it that serious?" Zhang Youpeng was a little worried.
Zhang Chi said: "Dad, this is a small probability event. Think about it, there are murderers on the news all day long. Have you ever encountered it?"
Public security in the United States is getting worse and worse, but Zhang Chi can't talk to his father about this. Wouldn't that make the old man worry in vain? Besides, he has a gourd on his side. It's not easy to kill him with a gun. So it's not easy for him personally.
He said that the United States is considered safe, but if it is unsafe, he can use guns to make unsafe people safe.
Zhang Chi didn't want to talk about this nonsense, so he asked his brother-in-law: "Brother-in-law, do you know anyone who needs U.S. dollars? If you can help me exchange some U.S. dollars, fifty thousand U.S. dollars."
"so much?"
Sun Yanping was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and said, "Let me ask for you to see if anyone needs it."
Sun Yanping knew that some of the children going abroad might need U.S. dollars, so he took out his mobile phone and asked Zhang Chi, and then asked what the price was for exchanging U.S. dollars in private.
What a coincidence. There was a family that needed U.S. dollars. When I heard that Sun Yanping had such a need, they agreed on a price and agreed to come over later to exchange the U.S. dollars.
Zhang Chi didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
Zhang Juan came out wearing new clothes at this time.
"How about it?"
Zhang Juan asked happily to her husband and brother.
The clothes my brother bought were the latest ones, and they were all made of goose down. How could Zhang Juan not like them? She had wanted this brand for a long time, but she had never been willing to pay for it. Now she feels so good wearing it.
"nice!"
This is Sun Yanping’s answer.
“Beautiful”
This is Zhang Chi’s answer.
In fact, the two old men didn't see anything good or bad at all. They just thought there was nothing bad about the new clothes.
Zhang Juan said to her younger brother: "You are really willing to spend money. Don't buy such expensive things in the future. I went to the city several times to look at it but in the end I was not willing to buy it."
"Your brother has made money. He is waiting for the summer vacation this year to come to my ranch with his grandparents and parents. I will pay for all the round-trip air tickets and so on." Zhang Chi was as generous as a nouveau riche.
In fact, he is either a nouveau riche or a nouveau riche. He is very picky with others, but he is also very generous to his family. Especially after having a gourd, this point has been amplified.
Zhang Juan wanted her husband to try it too, but Sun Yanping was embarrassed.
