Main Text Chapter 22: Ready to Move Into the Villa

Zhou Jiexi drove the farm's pickup truck out of the gate of the farm. The warm wind on the road was blowing slowly, and rhythmic country music was playing outside from the open car window. Zhou Jiexi slapped the steering wheel in the car, and chorused a climax with his voice, giving him the feeling of a country farm cowboy.

In fact, when Zhou Jiexi drove out, he remembered that he didn't seem to have a driver's license. Moreover, the car is rough and rough, and I was not used to it at first, but I got used to it after a while. After all, the roads of Laomei are wide and sparsely populated, so you are not afraid of bumping into people if you are not used to it.

"You don't have a driver's license yet. If you get caught, it will be fun. It's not safe. You should go back. The laws in the United States are not as easy to fool as in China.

Thinking about the days of Tianchao, it is still good. Tianchao is a minor without a driver's license. He can drive a sports car on the road and drive well. If it weren't for hitting someone, no one would really know about it. From this we can see how easy the traffic police uncles of the Celestial Dynasty are to be fooled. Just like this, they still report the traffic police's eyesight every day, and they bully ordinary people who have no rights and no money. "Zhou Jiexi thought about it in the car, and began to plan to drive back.

At this time, there is really no traffic on Route 59 in California, just a few farm pickups and some trucks.

Suddenly Zhou Jiexi heard the sound of "snoring..." coming from a distance. The music is also gradually approaching.

The "swipe" one drove by the side of Zhou Jiexi's pickup truck. It was a sports car, and it drove very close to the pickup truck. Zhou Jiexi was taken aback, but before he recovered, a few more cars swished by on both sides of the pickup truck, and one of them even turned on its rear lights and flashed on purpose.

"Provocative, it's from Mr. Ge." Zhou Jiexi couldn't help exposing the foul language all of a sudden, and the flames in his heart began to burn, but when he was about to speed up to chase, he remembered that his car was a Ford F-150SVTRAPTOR (Chinese translation) For: Ford Raptor) a three-valve SOHC engine with a maximum horsepower of 320 horsepower and a maximum torque of 390 pounds per foot. Weighing 5,863 pounds, the small pickup truck has good off-road ability and pull force, but when you want to increase the horsepower, you may have to work harder, not to mention the speed compared with sports cars, which can't even see the butt light arrive.

A basin of cold water was poured down, extinguishing Zhou Jiexi's anger.

Depressed all the way back to the farm, there is already a young man waiting for Jessie Zhou at the farm. It is a young man Alan Hunter. He is the son of Atwood, and he is also on Jessie Zhou's farm now. work. Atwood heard that Zhou Jiexi didn't have a driver's license and needed to find a substitute driver, so he introduced his son.

Alan Hunter is a somewhat introverted man with short hair, a cowboy hat, a plaid shirt, jeans and a pair of boots on his lower body. He looks a little handsome, a bit like a comrade from Brokeback Mountain, hehe, but don't look at him like this, his ability on the farm is not low.

Allen has been to the Kingsville Ranch Management School, which can be called the "Harvard Business School for Cowboys". The majors required for ranch management are included in the curriculum. In the past, people who wanted to become ranchers often chose to study zoology and agriculture, and the knowledge and skills related to ranch management were acquired through practical work; Knowledge of business administration and skills such as wildlife management are required.

Alan likes life on the ranch very much, but if Guan has some common knowledge, it is not enough to get a good salary. Although the salary structure of Sky Farm is not bad, Alan's girlfriend is not very satisfied.

After all, if you want to live a better life after marriage in the future, you still need more money, so you wisely helped Alan apply for this college. Allen did help the farm solve a lot of problems after returning from his studies, so the old man Bard also gave him a good salary to keep him on the farm so that he could be more comfortable.

Zhou Jiexi is now a model for the predecessors to plant trees and the descendants to enjoy the shade. The management that Bud built for the farm is all elites, so that he can run well without asking too much. So even if Zhou Jiexi doesn't understand anything now, it doesn't matter, anyway, there are people who understand to work for him.

The gossip stopped, it was said that Zhou Jiexi was sitting next to Allen, and he just chatted with him casually, and then he was not in the mood, and was still thinking about the provocative matter of dumping a car just now.

"No matter what I do now, I'm already a rich man. It's a bit too much to lose face like this. No, I have to get my American driver's license quickly. Now I'm going to order a sports car for fun. That's right, haha..." Zhou Jiexi suddenly clapped his hands and laughed.

Jumped Alan who was driving, stepped on it unconsciously, and braked as if he had no thought. Poor Jessie Zhou almost hit his head, but luckily they were both safe with the seat belts on.

"Boss, are you okay?" Allen quickly pulled the car out and asked anxiously to Zhou Jiexi. But can you not be in a hurry, just when I was about to make a good impression on my new boss, something like this happened.

Seeing Alan's anxiety, Zhou Jiexi quickly waved his hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay." He didn't mean to blame him, not to mention that this incident was caused by himself.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault." Allen said apologetically.

"No, no, no, this is my fault, don't blame your buddy." Zhou Jiexi saw that he still wanted to say something, so he quickly said: "Okay, don't talk about it, do you still want me to apologize? Hehe Okay buddy, let's go, I'm still waiting to move into my new house."

"No, no need."

"That's all right, let's go buddy, I will treat you to an authentic Chinese meal tonight."

"Okay, hehe, I'm honored."

The two drove the car to Merced, walked around and asked the locals on the way, and they really sold these. The store is opened by a couple of Chinese, who also immigrated from province F. They run a small supermarket here. Because there are also Chinese and Asian people around, sometimes they still need these things, so they also buy a batch of them. In the warehouse, the sales are so-so, but they are all regular customers, because they will use them on certain festivals, so it is also a relatively stable income.

The boss entertained Zhou Jiexi very warmly, and Zhou Jiexi was also very happy to meet people of Chinese descent in a foreign country. Several people chatted about the daily life and some things about their respective hometowns, and it was a happy chat. Zhou Jiexi bought some incense and burning paper, and bought a lot of snacks and drinks. I bid farewell to the two couples. Seeing Zhou Jiexi's appearance, they knew that he had something to do today, so they didn't want to keep him anymore, but they still said that they could come and walk around more if he had time.

After putting the things in the car, Jiexi Zhou took Alan around again and bought a bunch of things. Anyway, Jiexi Zhou doesn't care if he has money now, not to mention the things are not very expensive. Zhou Jiexi suddenly realized why women like to go shopping, blood. It's really cool to fight.

On the way back to the car, Allen held back for a long time, but couldn't help but ask, "Boss, are you Chinese all so enthusiastic?" Allen asked.

He was overwhelmed by those two people just now. The two of them went shopping just now, and the boss still didn’t take the money, and they didn’t even swipe the card when Zhou Jiexi gave it to them. Fortunately, Zhou Jiexi had cash on him (actually it was in the space), and if they wanted to give the cash to them, several of them refused to accept it. Back and forth, the scene was very hot. Allen thought they were going to fight, and their fists were ready. But after a while, a few people smiled and said to go together.

Seeing Alan's mind full of doubts, Zhou Jiexi suddenly felt very cute and funny. "Hehe, yes, we have a saying, 'When a fellow countryman sees a fellow countryman, his tears flow'."

"What? Two people in one place will cry together (translated into English) when they meet. What kind of logic is this? Does it have anything to do with him not charging you?" Allen said incredulously when he heard Zhou Jiexi's words.

Zhou Jiexi not only failed to explain clearly to Allen, but also made the child fall into more speechless questions.

"Oh, that's not what it means." Zhou Jiexi paused for a moment, "That's not right, that's what it means." He is also confused now.

Zhou Jiexi felt that he could not be despised by a foreigner, so he had to explain this sentence to him today. After carefully searching the poor amount of knowledge in his mind, he found that if he had to explain this sentence in English, his knowledge reserve was still a bit short.

Zhou Jiexi was going to start talking nonsense, "This is our tradition, it should be possible, that's what you mean. For example, when you are in a strange place and you don't know anyone, you happen to meet someone , and this person is from the same place as you, has the same skin color as you, and the same local language. Do you feel that he or she is very kind.”

Allen nodded yes.

"That's what I meant by that sentence, adding some appropriate exaggeration to show that they are really going to cry because they still meet each other in such a big world." Zhou Jiexi looked at Alan seriously explained.

Allen nodded as if he understood.

But he didn't bother to care whether Alan understood or not, because the car had already arrived at the farm, and Zhou Jiexi was afraid that he would not know how to explain it this way, because he was at the end of his skills.

When he came back, Zhou Jiexi took a special look at the time, the phone showed that it was past eleven o'clock, but fortunately, it was still in time. Because you need to choose an auspicious day for moving, choose a good day, auspicious day, and see which day is suitable for moving into the house according to the lunar calendar, and be careful not to overwhelm the position, which is the zodiac day of the family members. The time must be before noon, and the moving time should be as far as possible before noon, because before noon is called yang, and after noon is called yin. Try to move during sunny hours.
