Zhang Chi sat on the sofa and directed the monkey to pour water for him.
"What a boy!" Zhang Chi took the water cup, reached out and rubbed the monkey's forehead, and complimented him casually.
Perhaps because he felt that he had been praised by his master, the monkey squeaked happily, raised his two little white eyebrows a few times, grinned, revealing a mouthful of tiny white teeth, and smiled like a man weighing 20 or 30 pounds.
Like a child.
Now the monkey is no longer as aggressive as when he first arrived, and he is completely a good baby.
Zixiao!
Zhang Chi took a sip of tea, exhaled a long breath of pleasure, and said to himself proudly: "This little taste - just right!"
The tea is new and has just been brought from China. The new tea of the season is newly launched. Not only does it look good, it also tastes great.
Even Zhang Chi, who doesn't drink tea well, feels moist, fragrant, fresh and sweet when he takes a sip of the new tea. It tastes much better than the tea he drank at home before.
Even the tea that he had drunk before and thought was expensive was not as good as the new tea this time. Although Zhang Chi drinks tea like a cow, he can still tell the difference between good tea and bad tea.
Guan Jian’s new tea was not bought by himself, but given by others.
You may think that just because of Zhang Chi’s personal relationship, someone would bring him tea?
There really are such people. First of all, let me explain that they are not Zheng Bohong, a friend of Melika, but Yan Zhou and others who Zhang Chi helped last winter. Although these people had some fucked-up ideas some time ago, Zhang Chi refused.
After that, they didn't say much.
In this world, how can one do everything perfectly? Zhang Chi saw that others were interested, so he forgot about this matter.
Who knew that Yan Zhou asked someone to bring a box of tea to Zhang Chi two days ago. It weighed one kilogram in total and would cost about fifteen to two thousand yuan in China.
Now Zhang Chi thinks that the money is just a small amount, but there is a saying that etiquette despises justice, and when Yan Zhou thinks of him, Zhang Chi naturally wants to thank him.
Originally, Zhang Chi didn't think this tea would be very good, but after drinking it, he felt that this tea was really suitable for his taste. The refreshing and sweet aroma from the brew made Zhang Chi fall in love with this tea.
While sipping the tea happily, the buzzing sound of the grinder could still be vaguely heard in her ears. This was Merika playing with the stones.
It has been four or five days since I got the grinder back. Whenever she has free time, Melika will stay in the storage room and grind stones.
At the beginning, Zhang Chi was still a little interested, reaching out to pour water, sweep up debris, etc. But after a day of tossing, Mao didn't notice it. He just turned a stone into a small slate and other things.
nor.
As for the azurite that Merika mentioned, there is not even a shadow. So far, the best one is still the small piece with the window.
So starting from the next day, Zhang Chi was no longer interested in Melika's activities.
There are things about the ranch, but not much! The cowboys are now working on the ranch in the west. There is not much work at home here, which is to drive the cattle to another place to graze from time to time.
This morning, Zhang Chi's task was to drive the cattle to another place. The cattle that were originally in the west of the pasture were driven to the east of the pasture, so that the west pasture could relax for a while, and then they could be driven back after the cattle recovered.
This job is actually not that big of a job. Zhang Chi brought along Da Niu, Er Hu, and the new member San Biaozi, and it was easy for one person and three dogs to handle it.
Sanbiaozi was named by Zhang Chi because it is easy to pronounce.
Couldn't the next one of the two big bulls and two tigers start with three? So this black and yellow-bellied bear version of the dog became Zhang Chi's San Biaozi.
Of course, it's not because of his character, but because of his appearance. This guy can be said to have a strong back and waist among dogs. He has a strong body. He is very different from the big bull and two tigers who are strong but have long hair.
.
Zhang Chi also couldn't understand why some of them were born from mastiffs, and after a lot of twists and turns, a few of them ended up like this.
Daniel, two tigers and three tigers!
As soon as the name was called out, Merica felt that she should worry about her daughter. As for the remaining dogs, it was naturally not Zhang Chi's turn to name them. Cannon, Brian and others would share their names.
Some foreign names like Locke and Hooker.
It sounds quite foreign, but in fact it is just the dregs of soil, rocks, big eagles and the like. Just this kind of name has the same bird flavor as our domestic Laifu and Ergouzi.
I don't care, Zhang Chi doesn't have any objections, it won't hurt his brain cells anyway.
The morning ground in front of the house is very lively now. Erhu, his three puppies, and his two adopted sons are spinning around on the grass in front of the house.
Daniel and Sanbiao lay down on the grass obediently, yawning lazily and taking a nap.
Ergou and Sanjou's family also came out. Two big cats and a group of small kittens were also basking in the sun. However, they were very close to the house. If there was any danger, they could duck under the house in an instant.
Zhang Chi is currently huddled on the sofa in Ge You's lying position. Sometimes when he reaches for the teapot, he would ask the monkey to hit Zhang Chi.
Zhi!
After taking another sip of tea, Zhang Chi moved his hand, and the monkey immediately ran over, took the teapot and put it back on the table.
Yan Zhou is a caring person, and he always comes with a set of gifts. The one in Zhang Chi's hand is an authentic Yixing purple clay pot. Although it is not the work of a top master, it is still a pot made by a master with very good craftsmanship.
Zhang Chi originally planned to get one for himself and one for Melika. Who knew that Melika was not interested in drinking tea like this, so Zhang Chi smiled and accepted them all.
One for the living room and one for the study. Anyway, the space in the house is large and there is plenty of room for decoration.
After placing it on the table, the monkey reached out and dipped his hand into the tea stains on the table, then put it into his mouth and started licking it.
Zhang Chi crossed his hands again and put them on his chest. At this moment, he felt a little bored, so he crossed his legs on the coffee table and played with his two thumbs.
Seeing the monkey, Zhang Chi said: "Monkey, you have been serving me for a few days!"
Squeak! Squeak!
The monkey thought that Zhang Chi was going to drink tea, so he immediately picked up the teapot that had just been placed on the table.
"Don't drink anymore, don't drink anymore, put the teapot over".
Zhang Chi waved his hand and the monkey understood that the master did not want to drink tea.
Seeing Monkey put the teapot back, Zhang Chi said lazily: "Monkey, I think you have mastered the true meaning of society now, so I feel relieved."
At this time, Melika happened to come out of the storage room with ink. She originally planned to take a sip of coffee. When she heard Zhang Chi say this to the monkey, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"What can you do if you are worried? Give the monkey a name?" Melika glanced at Zhang Chi contemptuously.
Zhang Chi didn't care and said to his wife: "I'm just talking about the philosophy of life, don't interrupt."
"Okay, I won't interrupt, I just want to hear what name you can give the monkey," said Melika.
When the monkey saw Merika, he grinned and gave Merika a half-hearted smile.
Melika smiled when she saw it. She couldn't help it. She was nicer to the monkey than Zhang Chi, but the monkey was more attentive when he saw Zhang Chi. When Melika saw that he was nice to him, he didn't treat Zhang Chi.
enthusiasm.
What does this feel like? It's like a company. You are very kind to your colleague and help him with everything. But when the colleague sees the leader, he immediately acts like a lap dog and rushes towards the leader.
He walked over, said polite words, and bent his waist: "Boss, I will help you carry your bag. Boss, you are tired, I will help you..."
That's pretty much what it means.
The same goes for the monkey. He was punished by Zhang Chi again and again, and finally he was honest. When he saw Zhang Chi calling him obedient, even if Zhang Chi was impatient and said "Huh!" from his nostrils, the monkey could immediately stand up like a rubber.
Monkey-like spirit.
"I see that your bones are amazing, so I might as well call you Wukong."
Zhang Chi said to the monkey.
After saying this and waiting for the monkey to answer, the scene from "Journey to the West" popped up in his mind. At this moment, the monkey should be scratching his head and scratching his head, jumping up and down, and kept saying that he has a name.
Obviously, Zhang Chi's hopes for the monkey were a bit too high and unrealistic. After all, the monkey was bought by his sister-in-law. The monkey was created by the aura of heaven and earth and absorbed the essence of the sun and moon. It was originally the empress Nuwa.
Colorful stones that patch the sky.
And Zhang Chi's monkey is just an ordinary monkey.
"Do you think you are Patriarch Bodhi?"
When Melica heard the name, she almost choked on her coffee.
Zhang Chi asked curiously: "Do you still know about Patriarch Bodhi?"
"You forget, I lived in China, and Journey to the West would always be shown on TV every summer vacation," Melika said.
Zhang Chi patted his forehead after hearing this: "I forgot about this incident."
"Why don't you call me Francisco?" Zhang Chi said again.
"Let's have fun".
If an American had mentioned this, Melika wouldn't have thought too much about it. This was normal. Many American dogs had names like Patton and Nixon. But when it came out of Zhang Chi's mouth, Melika felt that her own
My husband must not have been holding back his fart.
"Well, it's a bit inappropriate."
Zhang Chi also thought of something. The monkey has the same name as the elders of the Melika family. Didn't he get himself into a trap?
He is Melika's husband, how much difference can there be between the elders of her family and the elders of his own family?
No, no!
This is a trap for yourself.
"How about calling them potatoes, sweet potatoes, and edamame?"
Zhang Chi started to coo, and as soon as the word edamame came out of his mouth, Zhang Chi looked at the monkey again and felt that this name was so appropriate.
"It's called edamame!"
Zhang Chi patted the sofa.
After listening to this, Melika put down the coffee cup in her hand and walked towards the door of the storage room without saying a word. She really couldn't listen anymore.
"Edamame, hand me my teapot!"
"Edamame, bring me a piece of paper!"
"Edamame, where are my slippers?"
After calling like this for more than half an hour, the monkey also knew that his name was Maodou, so every time Zhang Chi called it, it would respond.
The name edamame is finally confirmed. This chapter has been completed!
