Liu Zhan said quietly: "The things we buy for them are not worth it in their eyes. ”

Lao Luo said: "They have been hitchhiking to the city a lot lately, and they have been there N times in the past four weeks, and every time they go, they take these clothes with them. As soon as I arrived at my destination, I would change out of jeans and overalls. ”

Yuan Xin said, "What are you going to do there?"

"Go shopping, talk to boys, go to the store and steal things. ”

Liu Zhan reached into a box and pulled out a purple T-shirt, which was blue with an orange stripe. It's a nylon fabric that feels thin and of inferior quality, and that's exactly what he despises: it doesn't keep warm, it doesn't protect important parts, it's just a dirty piece of fabric that hides the beauty of the human body.

He got this T-shirt in his hand and walked down the ladder.

Yuan Xin and Lao Luo followed him like followers, and although Liu Zhan was not there for long, his innate leadership quickly attracted the residents of the neighborhood.

The two girls looked petrified, and Liu Zhan said, "Let's go to the hall to discuss this matter with everyone." ”

When they arrived at the hall, everyone was already there, including the children, they sat cross-legged, sat on the ground and waited, this is the unique culture of the United States, there is a hall for everything, in China, it is similar to the neighborhood committee office, but the people of the United States love democracy in such a situation.

Liu Zhan sat in the center, and theoretically, their discussions were democratic, there were no leaders here, and in reality, every time they had a meeting, it was Lao Luo and Yuan Xin who controlled the situation.

Liu Zhan leads the discussion to the result he wants, his usual trick is to divert the problem, not to state the point, if he agrees with a certain idea, he will lead everyone to just discuss its benefits, if he wants to suppress a certain proposal, he will ask the person who proposed it, they promise that it will be successful, once the atmosphere of the meeting is not good for him, he will pretend to be persuaded, and wait until the opportunity to overturn everyone's decision, which is also Liu Zhan's usual trick when he holds a meeting in Donglong.

Who wants to speak first?" he said.

Luo Qin spoke, she is a very maternal person, in her forties.

She believes that understanding is more important than reproach, and she said, "I think Yuan Xiaohua and Luo Shengyi should be asked to talk about why they went to the city first." ”

"To meet people. Yuan Xiaohua said unruly.

Luo Qin smiled and said, "You mean to see boys." Yuan Xiaohua did not deny this, but just shrugged her shoulders.

"Well, I think that's understandable, but why are you stealing?"

"We want to dress up a little bit better!"

Yuan Xin sighed angrily: "What's wrong with the clothes you usually wear?"

"Mom, stop kidding. Yuan Xiaohua said sarcastically.

Yuan Xin leaned over and gave her a slap, and with a click, Yuan Xiaohua was so frightened that a red mark appeared on her face.

"How dare you talk to me like that?" Yuan Xin said, "You were caught stealing, and I had to get you out of prison, so don't take me to say that I am useless." ”

Liu Zhan sighed, he should have expected this, there was nothing wrong with the clothes in the local free store, they had blue, black and tan jeans, nyl overalls, white, gray, red and yellow T-shirts, sandals and boots, thick wool sweaters for the winter, waterproof jackets for working in the rain, everything, but everyone wore the same clothes, and it had been the same for decades, and the children certainly wanted to try something a little different.

Lao Luo said to her daughter, "Luo Shengyi, my baby, don't you like your clothes?"

She sobbed, "We want to dress up like a flair." ”

"Ahh Liu Zhan said that he understood everything.

The style is also dressed in the clothes that came, a designer brand, not to mention the Chanel bag, miniskirts and stockings, fancy heeled shoes and cute hats.

She's stylish and sexy, and it's no wonder girls look to her as a role model.

Lao Luo said: "We have to talk about customs. He looked very uneasy, and most people felt nervous when they said something that might offend Liu Zhan.

Liu Zhan's guard suddenly raised, he brought Feng Feng here, he was her lover, and she was very critical to the implementation of the whole plan, half of the general's men still believed that Feng Feng had not defected, Liu Zhan needed this powerful double agent as a cover, Liu Zhan couldn't let them attack her. "We never force new arrivals to change their old clothes. "They all started out wearing their own clothes, which is our rule here. Mei Jinying spoke.

She worked as a teacher and came here 10 years ago with her lover Li Xiaona, who was ostracized in the small town where they grew up because they were gay.

"It's not just about the clothes," said Mae Jinying, "she doesn't work much, and I don't mind if she can be a J-girl so she doesn't have to stay here." ”

Li Xiaona nodded in agreement.

Liu Zhan argued: "I have seen her washing dishes and baking cookies in the kitchen. ”

Although Liu Zhan tried her best to make her words seem convincing, it was obvious that his words made Mei Jinying look scared, but she still insisted on saying: "It's just light housework, she doesn't work in the vineyard, she's just a passerby, Liu Zhan." Yuan Xin saw that Liu Zhan was being attacked, so he stood on his side: "Many of us are like her, do you remember what Xiong Yun was like when he first came?"

Xiong Yun is somewhat similar to the style, she is a beautiful woman who was obsessed with Liu Zhan from the beginning, when they first came to stay here.

Xiong Yun smiled with remorse: "I admit that I was lazy at the time, but later, I began to realize that it was not good for me not to work. Nobody ever blamed me, I just realized that if I could do something for the big guys, I would be a little happier. ”

At this time, Zhou Yuan said that she had been addicted to drugs, and although she was only twenty-five years old, she looked like she was forty years old. "Amorous is the type of a bad woman, who tells the kids about pop music, TV shows and all that kind of. ”

"Obviously, we need to talk to her about this when we get back from San Francisco, and I know she's going to be very sad when she hears what Yuan Xiaohua and Luo Shengyi did," Liu said. ”

Lao Luo was not satisfied: "What many of us mind is..."

At this time, Liu Zhan frowned, it sounded like a group of them had discussed it behind his back.

Oh my God, are these people going to sweep Liu Zhan and them out of the house? He let the frustration pour out into his tone: "Really, what do you many of you mind?"

Lao Luo swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Her mobile phone and computer." ”

There are no wires in the valley, so there are very few appliances in the village, and they have developed a habit of cleanliness for televisions and mobile phones. Liu Zhan had to listen to the car radio to keep up with the news.

They had begun to despise anything that consumed electricity, and every time they charged their devices, they would go to the public library in the city, and occupy a jack that was usually used for vacuum cleaners, and her equipment had already attracted the attention of some members of the village, and at this moment, several people nodded in agreement with Lao Luo's complaints.

But she had to keep her mobile phone and computer, There was a special reason, but Liu Zhan didn't want to explain this to Lao Luo, Lao Luo was not a member of Donglong.

Although he is a veteran here, loved by everyone, and has been here for many years, Liu Zhan is not sure that they will support the earthquake plan, and more importantly, he may be frightened.

Liu Zhan realized that he had to solve this problem, especially when he was going to lose everyone's trust, and those who were dissatisfied had to deal with them one by one.

But before most of them could say anything, they sobbed and said, "Liu Zhan, is there nothing happening?" Are you hiding something from us? I still can't understand why you came to this place because you live so well in Huaxia with your style. ”

Yuan Xin stood on Liu Zhan's side, and she said, "Wow, how much you don't trust him when you ask like this!"

The people of the village were dividing into two factions, and Liu Zhan could see this, and seeing that the day of leaving the valley was approaching day by day, the miracle that Liu Zhan hinted at showed no sign of happening, and they saw that their world was about to collapse.

"I think I've told you that I have an uncle who has died, leaving behind a lot of things, and I'm his only relative, so I have to come here to help the lawyer solve all the problems," he said. This excuse is really bad enough, if the style is arranged in front of the big guys, she can be at ease, but in the face of these adults who may not even have graduated from elementary school, she is obviously a little flustered to deal with.

Liu Zhan, who knows how to suppress a protest, said resolutely: "I feel that the atmosphere we are discussing now is very bad. He said, "Does anyone agree with me?"

Of course, they all think so. Most nodded.

"How can we improve the atmosphere?" Liu Zhan looked at Lao Luo's ten-year-old son, a child with dark eyes and a serious look, "What do you say, Rogge?"

Let's meditate together. The little boy said, asking no one would give such a reasonable answer, Liu Zhan looked around: "Do you agree with Rogge's suggestion?"

They agreed.

"Then let's get ready. ”

Everyone put on their most serious appearance, some people lay flat on the ground, some people curled up like babies to look at their bodies, and one person seemed to be asleep, motionless, Liu Zhan and several people crossed their legs, their hands relaxed on their knees, and their eyes closed

Eyes, facing the sky.

"Relax your little toe on your left foot. Liu Zhan said in a calm and penetrating voice, "Then the ring toe, then the middle toe, then the index toe, then the big toe to relax your whole foot Then the ankle and then the calf. As he slowly instructed everyone to relax their bodies, the room fell silent. The breathing was slow and even, the body became more and more stable, and the face gradually appeared with the peaceful expression characteristic of a contemplative.

Finally, Liu Zhan slowly let out a deep voice: "Hmm. ”

Everyone responded in unison, "Hmm."

The meeting with the governor will be held at the governor's office at 12 o'clock in middle age, and Zhu Yuting left home at 9:45.

The Governor's Deputy she was meeting with Ambanier was a well-known figure in California politics, nominally a cabinet secretary, but in reality a court hawk dog, and whenever Governor McRae needed to build a new highway in a scenic location, or to build a new nuclear power plant, lay off a thousand government employees, or betray his loyal friends, he would hand over the dirty work to Ambaniel, including Governor McRae and the generals, of course.
