Back at the construction site, Lao Xu heard the news, so he went to Zhang Chi to say congratulations or something like that.
I found Zhang Chi and was always shocked by Zhang Chi.
I saw Zhang Chi sitting on the sofa under the corridor, and he would laugh from time to time. The sound was really like hearing an old man when you are walking at night, it is creepy.
"Hey, are you so happy?" Lao Xu looked at Zhang Chi and said dumbfounded.
"Happy, here you go, sit down!" Zhang Chi saw Lao Xu standing in front of him, and then he realized that the ink had run away, but his hand was still in the state of rolling ink.
"Come here, come here. I heard that you are about to get a little princess. Naturally, Party B, I, want to come and congratulate you. I wish Party A's father a happy daughter."
Lao Xu said with a smile.
Then Lao Xu added: "I haven't seen the child yet, so I came here empty-handed, but don't worry, I will prepare a gift when the time comes. I dare not say a big gift, but I will never be perfunctory."
Zhang Chi smiled and waved his hand: "No need, just come over and have a drink when the time comes. As for other things, forget it."
Lao Xu didn't say anything, but asked again: "Have you notified your family?"
Zhang Chi nodded.
I remember that in the morning, when I had a video call with my parents and told them that Melika had a baby, my mother and grandmother almost shed tears.
In the end, my father and grandfather persuaded me to stop. If it had been close, they would probably have come to the door by now. Unfortunately, it was so far away now that they couldn't come even if they wanted to.
"Are your parents very happy?" Lao Xu said.
Zhang Chi nodded and smiled: "That's natural."
Lao Xu came here and patted Zhang Chi on the shoulder: "Congratulations on becoming a father, but it is not easy to be a father. You must be prepared. From the moment the child is born, you can only have fun secretly. If you reach puberty,
Something like that will keep you busy."
"You just can't bear it. If I were you, I would let those boys in your family know what a complete childhood is," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
After hearing this, Lao Xu glanced at Zhang Chi and said, "Well, how about you go and clean up? It's not like you don't know the situation here. Before you clean up, the neighbor called the police, and he didn't know that he
Take care of the children and provoke them."
Lao Xu complained all the time, saying that it was too difficult to raise children in the United States and that there were too many rules and regulations.
Moreover, these rules and regulations are all prepared for adults. You can do this, you can't do that. This makes the children in the family look like little devils.
Otherwise, Lao Xu would not be thinking about sending his children to private schools now.
When the teacher loses his ruler, the students have no restraint, and the school becomes a pasture, except that the cattle are grazed in the pasture, and your children are grazed in the school.
If you have ever seen an American public school in class, you will feel that Americans are almost finished. The teacher tells the children what to do, and no one bothers anyone. The teacher leaves after class and just gets paid. Do the children learn something? Some
The child has been studying for ten years and cannot read a complete paragraph.
But if you insist on arguing, coaxing the child, and being reasonable, then I won’t argue with you. Everything you said is right.
There is an absolute polarization in the United States. Children from ordinary families herded cattle when they were young, and continued to herd cattle in society. Children of rich people learned more, and continued to harvest children from ordinary families in society.
Among other things, Melika can speak English, Chinese, Latin, and Spanish. Children from wealthy families don’t bring these things with them when they are born. What kind of things shouldn’t be spent time learning?
Coax your child to stop crying. Children from rich families have already learned two words. Over time, your child will still be a leek in society, and the knowledge in the brains of children from rich families has become a new sickle.
Zhang Chi has not thought so much yet. He is still getting used to the joy of having a daughter soon. The daughter he now thinks is fragrant, white and tender, and speaks with a slur, like "Daddy".
The kind that kills people.
"Oh, by the way, Lao Xu, do you know where I can buy large planting boxes?"
Suddenly Zhang Chi said something.
Lao Xu was a little confused by Zhang Chi's jumping thinking.
"You ask what this thing is for. If you want to buy it, which bigger supermarket doesn't have it?" Lao Xu said.
A planting box is a bit like...hey, forget it, it's just a wooden box without a lid. You can plant flowers, plants, trees and fruits inside. There are big and small ones, and the small one is like a flower pot.
It's big. The biggest one Zhang Chi has ever seen is like a truck bed.
Of course, Zhang Chi would definitely not need such a big one. He just wanted to get a few slightly larger ones for planting something.
"The one in the supermarket is too small and I didn't like it."
Lao Xu said: "Tell me what you are going to use it for."
"Growing vegetables. I was wondering if Melika is pregnant, so the vegetables should be as fresh as possible. I thought about it, and it would be best to grow some at home. Anyway, the weather is pretty good now, so it is suitable for planting." Chapter
Chi said.
Lao Xu was a little dumbfounded. He stared at Zhang Chi for a long time and then said: "Brother, you are the eldest brother, really! Fresh, your current dishes are not fresh? You can't say no to the watery ones."
It’s fresh, so what do I buy?”
Lao Xu knew that Zhang Chi's family got all the food from his uncle's house and Aunt Phil's house in Folsom without spending any money, but Zhang Chi would send some beef over from time to time.
This is how relationships go. If you want to talk about who takes advantage and who suffers, it would be meaningless.
About four or five days later, Zhang Chi would go for a walk, and when he came back, there would be one or two baskets of vegetables in the pickup truck.
You must know that foreigners here, if they go out to buy something, it will definitely be enough for a week, which means that for the next week, they will not buy food for home.
Even if a week's worth of food is stale, you can go there every few days, and you have to go pick it in their fields, and they say that the vegetables you get are not fresh.
Why didn't you let Lei strike you to death?!
Seeing Lao Xu staring at him, Zhang Chi said: "Look at what I am doing. Do you know it? If you don't know, you don't know. If you know it, you know it. If you don't know it, you don't know it. That's knowing!"
"Hey, if I hadn't only read the third grade, I'd give you the whole thing," Lao Xu said jokingly.
"Let's get down to business, do you know?" Zhang Chi said.
Lao Xu said: "Of course I know, but don't go to so much trouble. You have to install it after you buy it. You definitely can't wait for someone to come and install it."
Zhang Chi nodded after listening. For door-to-door installation here, you have to pray for God's blessing. It will come to your door in two or three days. Are you dreaming? Four or five days? What you think is great! One or two weeks? This is considered fast.
A month? That’s normal operation.
Even if you wait for a month, these people come to your door, and suddenly they say that they are missing one tool. I'm sorry, but this job can't be done today. As for when it can be done, please wait for notification.
You have to get used to it. This is the slow pace of the United States. If you ask someone to install something, and you happen to meet a white company, I bless you and ask you to sing a cappella at home and wait for you for ten thousand years.
"So, buy some ingredients and let's make it ourselves," Lao Xu said.
"I can't do it alone. Cannon and Brian are both very busy right now," Zhang Chi said.
Nowadays, there are not as many cattle as before in the pasture. The number has doubled. This is not only a problem of quantity, but also brings big problems to the pasture.
There is no problem for cows to eat grass, but they still poop. If you let a group of cows stay in one place like this for two or three days, the cow poop can cover the grass in that place.
It used to be that the young cows didn't need to pay so much attention to this matter, but now the number suddenly doubled. These cows got together and were divided into groups. If they pressed on a place, they would pull.
In less than a month, Zhangchi Ranch will see no grass except cow dung.
Even if Guan Jian is a cow, he won't eat grass covered with cow dung. I guess the cow himself would find it disgusting.
"I didn't say I would leave you alone, so why am I not considered a human being?" Lao Xu said, reaching out and tapping his chest.
Zhang Chi asked curiously: "Are you okay?"
"How long will this thing of yours last? It's just a piece of wood. Don't listen to a bunch of people talking nonsense. There is no technical work in this thing. The so-called craftsmanship of those guys is bullshit. It's just a waste of money.
, how many days do you need to pack a wooden box?"
Lao Xu said.
Lao Xu sneered at the white labor force here. To say he looked down upon it was an understatement, and he directly despised it.
"I'll go shopping today and take it with me late. I'll do it all morning at most tomorrow and the problem will be solved. Listen to me, that's right!"
Lao Xu's chest recognized this.
"That's okay, I'll believe you," Zhang Chi said.
Zhang Chi had this idea before to build a vegetable garden, but he has always been too lazy to do it. Now, taking advantage of the important event of Melika's pregnancy, he decided to do it directly.
Now he was ready to do it, and with the help of Lao Xu, Zhang Chi's confidence greatly increased.
"Let's go buy ingredients. Oh, wait a minute, I'll talk to Melika," Zhang Chi said.
Lao Xu smiled and said: "I'm really going to be a father now, I'm a lot more stable now."
Zhang Chi smiled, came to the door of the house and shouted inside: "Merika, I'm going to buy a planting basket."
"Go ahead"
"You have to..." at home.
"roll!"
Melika really couldn't stand her husband, who had been acting extremely abnormal in the past two days. Originally, she had a tougher temper, but now being treated like this made her extremely uncomfortable, and her temper suddenly came out!
Zhang Chi said to Lao Xu with a little embarrassment: "Look, my wife has such a character!"
Poof!
Lao Xu couldn't help but be happy.
"You should be more patient. Nowadays, women have bad tempers. When I was there, everything I did was wrong. So what can you do? When you should be a grandson, you should be a grandson..."
Lao Xu comforted Zhang Chi as he came here.
The two guys got into the pickup truck and went out to have fun.
