After chatting with Zhang Chi for a few words, Aunt Lu turned and left.
Zhang Chi finished the bowl of noodles and returned to the house. Seeing that there was still half of the bowl on Melika's side, without talking to his wife, Zhang Chi went to the sink, washed his own bowl and put it on the shelf.
Just as she was about to go out, Melika opened her mouth and said: "The furniture will be delivered in two days. You ask the masters over there to help."
Zhang Chi said: "I know, I have already told them about this."
The furniture would arrive home in two days. Zhang Chi had known about it a few days earlier, and everything had been arranged properly. When the time came, everyone was asked to move the furniture into the house and put it in place.
A big house will be built, with several bedrooms above and below. Even if there are not many things, it will be a lot to put a bed and a desk in each room.
Although houses may be large or small, not all rooms must be occupied by people, but given the layout, furniture is naturally indispensable.
As for the money, Zhang Chi didn't ask at all. From the time Melika took over, until now, Zhang Chi has followed Melika's lead. He can change the house as he wants and the furniture as he wants.
.
He said yes, indicating that he understood. Seeing that Melika had nothing else to say, Zhang Chi left the house and began to continue wandering around his family's ranch.
At this time, Zhang Chi was a little nostalgic for the bars in the small town, but these days the bars were closed, mainly because the cowboys had gone to the mountains to look for cattle to make a fortune. Kimberly's bar had two or three small fish every day, so Kimberly decided not to open it.
Now I have my bags on my back and I don’t know where to go.
It's okay, but it seems like something is wrong.
Just like that, the day passed.
Early the next morning, Zhang Chi was paying attention to when the furniture truck would arrive. It was originally agreed that it would arrive in the morning, but the transport driver's sense of time was obviously not so precise, and it did not arrive until almost two o'clock in the afternoon.
Four large box trucks pulled all the furniture and furnishings into the ranch and stopped directly at the door of the big house.
Zhang Chi came up to greet him and said thank you for your hard work.
They spoke first.
"It's a bit late. Please hurry up and unload the truck. We still have work to do and we have to rush to North Carolina."
Unexpectedly, the driver didn't even say an apology as soon as he got out of the car, and asked Zhang Chi and others to unload the car quickly.
Zhang Chi was a little unhappy and said directly to the master: "We agreed to deliver it before ten o'clock in the morning. What time is it now? You actually made such a request as soon as you got here. Don't you think you are going too far?
"
You're welcome, Zhang Chi. Don't think about convenience for others or yourself when living here. Many Americans don't think so. If you give in, they won't think you're being polite to them. They'll think you're afraid of him. You
They are afraid of getting into trouble, so not only will they not be grateful to you, they will also try to push you further.
The driver was stunned for a moment, and then wanted to open his mouth to tell the difference, but an elderly driver next to him immediately came over, pulled him aside, then smiled at Zhang Chi and said, "I'm sorry, something happened on the road. If you can hurry up,
A little, we would be very grateful...".
The elderly driver knows that his companion has a bad personality.
But this is the West, and cowboys have even worse tempers. Although the man in front of me is an Asian rancher, some Asians now don't necessarily have very good tempers. Besides, if you buy so much furniture at once, it must be...
Rich people.
He was a rich western rancher, and the elderly driver bet that he would not have a better temper than his colleagues.
The old man also knew that his colleague's words were racially discriminatory. He felt that as a white man, he should have a high profile towards minorities.
But the old man also knows that this guy is actually a brainless guy, and you can pretend to be a white guy without even looking at who he is.
Zhang Chi didn't think so much. He just felt that the driver had no manners at all. He could tell at a glance that he was a fool.
After coming to the United States and staying here for so long, Zhang Chi now wants to laugh at the many domestic myths about white people. All white people are polite, gentlemen, etc. Those who say this are either stupid or full of bad ideas.
Many white scum are even worse than black scum. Many black people are bad and mindless, beating, smashing, and robbing. But bad white people are much more perverted and mentally twisted than black people.

"Wait!"
Zhang Chi originally prepared car beer and the like for these people. He wanted to be polite to these people. It is a habit of us Chinese. When people come to deliver things, even if they are bought by themselves, they have to express their gratitude when they are transported such a long way.
.
It’s not too expensive, but the meaning is still there.
In this situation, how can Zhang Chi be in a good mood? He still eats and drinks what they eat and drink. Do you want to eat shit?!
The driver doesn't unload the truck. This is a rule. It's the same as at home when you arrive at the cargo yard. Unless you pay separately, Zhang Chi doesn't want to pay for these white people to work. It's too boring, so Zhang Chi goes out.
I paid a little money, gave everyone a good meal, and hired workers here to work.
As soon as the carriage door opened, two people got on Zhang Chi's ready-made forklift and entered the carriage. The forklift worked outside. It took more than an hour to finish unloading the four carts of furniture.
There is really a lot of furniture, and each one is packed tightly and installed. It just takes some time to dismantle these things.
The furniture was unpacked at the door and then carried in manually.
During these days of working at Zhang Chi Ranch, if nothing else, the workers had thoroughly eaten beef, so Zhang Chi asked everyone for help, not to mention paying wages, even if he didn't give it to everyone, he would be very happy.
Now that money has been given, these people are more careful when moving.
At this time, there is no need for Zhang Chi to contribute. Melika has full control over the room. The placement of every piece of furniture seems to be in Melika's mind.
"Carry this piece upstairs, in the third room on the left. Don't place it against the window, with the head facing the head and the tail facing the west...".
Seeing a bed being carried in, Melica took a closer look and signaled the workers to carry it upstairs.
"Don't go up there, it's the one downstairs. Just place it next to the window and facing the door," Merika said.
Zhang Chi was standing next to him, looking at his wife with admiration on her face, and thought to herself: What kind of brain does this person have? He has never seen such furniture arranged properly.
From the time he started carrying it into the house until now, Zhang Chi had never seen Melika stop to think about where to put this thing. It seemed that everything was under her control.
Melika continued to perform her talent, but Zhang Chi could only watch from the side. After watching for a while, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he took some things to deliver to the house.
As soon as he entered the room, he heard Melika say to him: "Stop making trouble, stand aside, what are you doing with the lamp, this is the lampstand upstairs, you put it back, you will make a mess by then.
I still have to find...".
Zhang Chi was a little embarrassed holding the desk lamp, so in the end he had to leave the room with a sneer on his face and put the desk lamp back to its original place.
The workers wanted to help carry something big, but the workers were not happy. Everyone took the money and asked Zhang Chi to do the work. They felt that this was done a bit unfairly.
So Zhang Chi was left to watch.
All the furniture was moved into the house and moved into their respective rooms. Melica took the workers with her to look at the houses one by one and correct them immediately if there was anything wrong.
The workers were not bothered, and Merica said they could adjust it however they wanted. Some rooms needed carpets, and some needed anti-slip bath mats.
In short, even if it is something as big as a palm, it seems that Melika knows where it should be placed.
Just spend the whole day working on this.
The work was still not over, so Melika took two workers to continue the work the next day.
Zhang Chi thinks this is quite good, what's wrong with it? There is a large leather sofa in the living room. It has a very classic shape, but the color is not deep, but light brown. There are several rows of nails on the large leather sofa.
Pulling the leather inward also makes the sofa look fluffy, very soft and comfortable.
In the middle is a square table, very wide, almost two meters long, one meter sixty-seven meters wide, and forty to fifty centimeters high. It is made of solid wood with the original wood grain.
Underneath the sofa is a large piece of machine-made carpet. Although it is not handmade, you still have to step on it with your feet. The handmade carpet is also made of wool, and the machine-made carpet is also wool. How can the handmade pattern be so beautiful?
With the addition of furniture, the empty house suddenly came to life. There were vases in many places. Although there were no flowers in the vases now, they still looked very suitable for the occasion.
Zhang Chi is a little unfamiliar with the new house.
This is normal. In the past, if a bed was thrown into the house, it would be a home. Even if there was no bed and only a mattress, we could survive for a few months. Nowadays, I don’t know how much better the home is.
But Zhang Chi still felt a little awkward, because the new home was really nice.
As the old saying goes, a bad pig cannot eat fine chaff! This is what Zhang Chi is like now.
All the curtains in the house have several layers. The innermost one is a gauze curtain, the middle is a breathable cloth curtain, and the outer one is a thick curtain for light and heat insulation.
Zhang Chi felt it was a bit troublesome, something that could be solved with a curtain must be made so complicated.
However, Zhang Chi did not express his opinion, because he left all this work to Melika, and she has already taken care of it. If you don't mention the shortcomings, isn't that being mean?
But when Zhang Chi used it, he felt that this curtain was wonderful.
What makes Zhang Chi most satisfied is the bathroom in his master bedroom. There is a bathtub now. There was one before, but it was small and pitiful before. Now the bathtub is nice and can fit two people in it.
The most important thing is that the bathroom used to have a small window, but now the window is big. When you lie in the bathtub, you can see the pasture below without raising your body, the grass carpet, and the people eating on the grass carpet with their heads down.
The herds of grass, the blue sky and white clouds are all in full view while taking a bath.
I just want to ask you whether this feeling is exciting or not?
Come on, come on naturally!
Zhang Chi watched for a while, then took off his shoes and lay down in his clothes, fantasizing about having some wine, taking a bath, and then looking out at his pasture.
Well, I haven’t taken a bath yet, it’s so beautiful just thinking about it!
