Chapter 58: It's Time to Start!
A few cows, plus eleven rams, and aquatic products, sold for a total of 176,000 dollars.
It was a windfall, which made the Zhang family father and son feel very good.
After seeing off Mr. Parker, Daddy Zhang agreed to leave tonight to deliver the slaughtered beef and mutton to Los Angeles.
I didn't mention the freight or anything, I have already made a lot of money, and it is a little unreasonable to talk about this small amount of money, which is tantamount to the possibility of maintaining long-term business after the break.
When sending off the guests, he said a lot of beautiful words, and after closing the door, he asked Zhang Xiaokai and said: "Today you have made a meritorious service, sell tens of thousands of dollars more, do you have anything you want, just say it!"
"I wanted a sports car like that. β
"Son, forget about this, I'll buy it for you when I have money in the future, not to mention that you can't drive on the road, and it will take a few years to get your driver's license. β
"Then just cash it in, give me cash, I can't find any interesting stores in Brookings, and I'll spend my own money when school starts." Zhang Xiaokai stretched out his hand and said.
His father dug out his pockets and gave him seventy-three dollars, and even more annoying that he told him not to spend it......
It's still early, I brought some food and continued to rush to the dock to go to sea, Zhang Xiaokai stayed at home to read novels, this winter vacation was both fulfilling and boring, and he began to miss campus life.
Lying on the sofa, using the fat cat Tom as a pillow, in the blink of an eye, in the evening, I received a call from Miss Jennifer, and then hurriedly packed up and went out.
I rode to the town and saw her chatting and buying some fried chicken and pizza for dinner.
Recently, a circus came to the town to perform, and set up an oilcloth venue in the square, Zhang Xiaokai asked when passing by it: "Do you want to go in and have a look?" Tell you in advance, there are not many interesting things here, don't expect me to take you to any interesting places to play, I have been at home for more than a month. β
"Circus, it should be there tomorrow, then come back tomorrow, I've been driving until now, and I've taken the wrong road twice, I'm almost exhausted!"
Miss Jennifer is clearly more interested in Zhang Xiaokai's horse, and the black and white color scheme is so strong that it feels like riding a cow.
One on horseback, one on a car, and soon returned home.
Because the grass and trees in the pasture are yellow in this season, and the cattle and sheep have disappeared, Jennifer does not think it is very beautiful, the only impression is that it is very large, and it takes more than five minutes from the entrance of the ranch to his house.
Dad heard that his classmates came to play, so he didn't say much, let alone think about anything.
The age difference is five years, and I don't think that my son can be favored by this girl who should be very popular in school, and after a busy day, let her be casual and unrestrained after taking a shower and changing clothes. He drove out and went to the tavern in town to find Hank and them for a drink.
I used to think that old Ronald had a bad habit of drinking all day long, but after living for a long time, I realized that in this kind of small place where there is not much fun, boredom is more uncomfortable than drunkenness.
Zhang Xiaokai is not against his father going to socialize, in fact, he himself occasionally steals a can or two of beer, for more than a year, the father and son have changed a lot in their personalities, and they have gradually adapted to the new life.
Bring the quilt to Jennifer and let her live in the room next to her.
Several rooms have been vacant for a long time, and there is no idea of renting them to others, and in a small place like Brookingstown, housing prices are not high, so people with a little money like to build a large house.
Mocha the White Spirit Bear had just woken up for a while, and continued to sleep on his stomach after eating, and recently he could sleep almost twenty hours a day, and he was lazy even when he was awake.
Tom the fat cat doesn't need to hibernate, and when he meets Miss Jennifer, who loves cats, this fat man is considered to be unlucky, he was ravaged in his arms, and took many group photos, but he still has no intention of letting it go, and his face is full of unhappiness.
Go back to the living room and make small talk.
Zhang Xiaokai asked her, "Why did you quarrel with your parents, do they know that you came here?"
"If you know how to run away from home, but I'll send some photos later to prove that I'm okay, don't worry, they're used to it. β
Jennifer sat watching TV, turned her head sideways at the moment, and continued: "Will your father interfere in your private life like my parents? β
After understanding the situation clearly, I learned that the boyfriend she had just met during the holidays had dropped out of school in the ninth grade, and now has no job and no source of income.
When I came to Jennifer's house, it was like my own home. Flipping through her new boyfriend's Facebook photo wall, in addition to being handsome, she has no merit at all, and will also make some remarks that make Zhang Xiaokai disgusted, such as swear words between the lines.
"Look at this and know that it must be bad, maybe what your parents think is not wrong, this guy is not for you. β
Zhang Xiaokai said after looking at the photo wall and returning the phone to Jennifer.
For this reason, Jennifer just rolled her eyes and replied: "You are still young, what does the little guy who has never even talked about love understand......"
What can I say.
When he didn't skip a grade, he had classmates who started to fall in love when they were six or seven years old, and there were more people who fell in love after entering the senior year.
At least it can show that in school, Zhang Xiaokai is not a very popular type of student, usually like a little nerd, it is indeed difficult to be popular, and he often skips grades, and it is difficult to make regular old friends.
was used as a trash can by Jennifer, no matter what he thought, he first said a lot of things to complain about how "cruel" her family was to her.
Zhang Xiaokai is not a sociable character, let alone a female friend, at the moment to listen to it as a story, suddenly thinking about women's way of thinking is so magical?
Some things that he thought were completely OK could be talked about by Jennifer for a long time, and finally began to understand why he had never been in a relationship at "this age", because he didn't know them at all, and he thought he looked pretty good.
In addition, most of the little girls of his age are very naΓ―ve in Zhang Xiaokai's eyes, which is also one of the reasons.
The mobile phone suddenly sounded one after another, and when Zhang Xiaokai took out the phone and found that it was an imessage, Jennifer leaned over to look at it, and asked with a wicked smile: "Who is this Adlina Lambourg, is the little girl you are pursuing, maybe I can help you." β
"No, she is...... An acquaintance, who is only 10 years old this year, how could I possibly pursue her? Occasionally, I would be asked for some homework, very simple homework, God knows why I couldn't even do it. β
Zhang Xiaokai was not impatient, but some of the topics were too simple, so simple that he was speechless.
"Are there any pictures to show me what it looks like. Jennifer gossiped, "Do you often ask you about your homework, should it be that I like you, looking for opportunities to approach you?"
ββ¦β¦ No, I don't see her much, probably because I'm stumped by homework. β
Seeing that Zhang Xiaokai didn't care, Jennifer's eyes were strange, as if she was looking at a fool: "If it's not interesting to you, no matter how difficult it is, I won't ask you, and it's through a mobile phone, this is obviously looking for a chance to chat with you, is it from our school? or your neighbor?"
"Neither, living in Irvine, California, I'm pretty sure you're thinking too much. β
Urged by Jennifer to ask for photos, Zhang Xiaokai had to search on the Internet, he didn't have a photo, but there was a photo of her in a follow-up report a few months ago.
After saving the picture to her phone, Jennifer immediately shouted when she saw it: "What a cute little girl, if I were you, I would definitely pursue her!" I, as a person who came over, advised you to get it as soon as possible when she was ignorant, otherwise when you grow up, there will definitely be people better than you to pursue her, and then you will have no advantage at all!"
