Chapter 250: Back to the farm for the New Year

On the morning of January 27, Xu Qing, Sophia, Eben, and Carlyle boarded a plane to Falls Montana.

The flight from San Francisco to Great Rapids took about 3 hours, and at 12 noon, Xu Qing and his team arrived in Great Rapids.

Great Rapids is a small city with a population of only a few tens of thousands, which is about the same as the population of an ordinary town in China.

Near Great Rapids is the largest tributary of the Mississippi River, the fourth longest river in the world, the Missouri River, which is more than 4,000 kilometers long and runs through Great Rapids.

Because of its proximity to this large river, Great Rapids has a thriving agriculture and farms are everywhere.

In fact, not only the city of Great Rapids, but the whole of Montana has a thriving agriculture.

Montana is the fourth-largest state in the United States by area, with a vast area and countless farms, large and small, scattered among them.

And Montana does not charge state taxes, you must know that many places in the United States have state taxes of more than 5%, especially in California, where San Francisco is located, and state taxes have reached more than 13%!

The advantage that Montana does not charge state taxes has made many people invest in farms in Montana.

Of course, there doesn't seem to be a single Chinese person investing in a farm in Montana now, anyway, Xu Qing has not heard this information, but there are some Chinese.

After getting off the plane, Xu Qing and the others met with the person who greeted them, and then found a restaurant to eat in the annex, rested for a while, and immediately got into the car that greeted the person and went to the farm of his grandparents.

After the car leaves Great Rapids, turn onto a sparsely populated interstate, and the grandparents' farm is in Helena, hundreds of kilometers away from Great Rapids.

In fact, Xu Qing can choose to take a helicopter to the farm, but neither Xu Qing nor Sophia want to fly again, especially if they take a helicopter with a very poor experience.

If you drive quickly, you can get to the farm in a few hours, and you can enjoy the scenery on both sides of the road.

The entire state of Montana is mountainous, with two-fifths of the area being America's famous Rocky Mountains.

The Rocky Mountains may not be known to some people, but the Yellowstone National Park in the Rocky Mountains should be known to many people.

Therefore, the natural scenery of Montana is very beautiful, and people like Xu Qing and Sophia who like to travel will not get tired of watching the scenery on both sides of the road for a few hours.

Along the way, Xu Qing basically saw mountains and forests in the distance, and flat farms in the distance.

It's January, especially in Montana, where snow is common, and the temperature is so low that people can freeze to death.

It's no joke, Montana dies every year because of the cold weather.

Because of the weather, the farms on both sides of the road, whether they are planting farms or breeding farms, are desolate, and only a few buildings can be seen on the flat farms.

Xu Qing looked at Sophia and looked at the farm outside the car window, and said: "It's January now, the weather is too cold, if it's June, you will see that the farms on both sides are very beautiful." ”

Sophia turned her head and glanced at Xu Qing: "I grew up in Montana, and I know more about Montana than you." ”

"That's not necessarily, staying for a long time doesn't mean you know more, I ask you a question, and you won't be able to answer it. Xu Qing said with a smile.

"What's the problem?" said Sophia, unconvinced.

"How many rivers are there in Montana? Do you know?" Xu Qing blinked.

"You!" Sophia's face instantly turned into a bun, and she looked at Xu Qing angrily: "You scoundrel, who knows how many rivers there are in Montana." ”

"Not necessarily. Xu Qing said with a smile.

"You know?!" Sophia stared at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing spread his hands: "I don't know either." ”

Seeing that Sophia was about to twist Xu Qing's waist, Xu Qing hurriedly said, "But God knows." ”

Sophia has nothing to say about Xu Qing's answer, in the Bible, God is omnipotent, and you say that God doesn't know how many rivers there are in Montana, isn't that questioning God's omnipotence.

Sophia's hand finally landed on Xu Qing's waist, but before she could twist, Xu Qing grabbed her hand and held it together.

The two leaned together naturally, and Carlyle, who was sitting in the passenger seat, saw the two showing affection through the inner rearview mirror, and as a single dog, he was hurt by 10,000 points.

Since Xu Qing and Sophia fell in love, Carlyle has eaten dog food from time to time, more than black bean dog food.

Xu Qing didn't know that Carlyle was shown off by his and Sophia's show of affection, and the reason why he joked with Sophia just now was to let Sophia get out of her low mood.

When Sophia looked at the farm outside the car window just now, Xu Qing could clearly feel that Sophia's mood was a little low.

Xu Qing didn't know the reason, and he didn't plan to ask now, so it was the right thing to do to make Sophia's mood positive first.

Xu Qing's jokes worked well, and Sophia has now regained her usual cheerfulness.

The car was speeding on the road, and Xu Qing suddenly saw a large signboard on the side of the road that read Carney Farm.

Seeing this signboard, Xu Qing was excited, and it was not far from where his grandparents lived.

The car continued on the road for a few minutes before entering a concrete road with a slightly narrower width.

The concrete road connected the interstate to where his grandparents lived, and a few minutes later, Xu Qing saw several buildings.

The car drove towards the largest building, getting closer and closer, and when it was still a few dozen meters away from the building, Xu Qing saw his grandparents standing at the door.

Xu Qing waved excitedly to her grandparents, and Sophia did the same, but the glass of the car Xu Qing was sitting in couldn't be seen by people outside.

So it is impossible for grandparents to see him and Sophia waving, but he is still waving excitedly, he hasn't seen grandparents for a long time, he misses it very much.

When the car stopped, Xu Qing couldn't wait to open the car door, and after Sophia also got out of the car, she took her hand and walked quickly to her grandparents.

"Grandparents, I'm back, did you miss me. Xu Qing smiled happily.

"Of course I miss my good grandson. Grandma smiled and patted Xu Qing's hand: "Yes, the body has grown taller, and the person has become stronger." ”

Grandpa didn't say anything, and nodded to Xu Qing.

In the next second, the two old men immediately abandoned Xu Qing and surrounded Sophia with a smile, shushing and asking for warmth.

Sophia was swept away by the enthusiasm of her grandparents, but quickly adapted, although she only met her grandparents a few times, she often contacted her grandparents on the phone, and the intimacy was very high.

Xu Qing watched as her grandmother took Sophia's hand and entered the house, while her grandfather followed with a smile on the side, leaving Xu Qing alone in the cold wind.

It's cold, it's cold, the heart is colder, and Carlyle's words are even colder.

"Xu, you're so pathetic!" Carlyle smiled happily beside her.

Xu Qing glared at Carlyle fiercely and entered the room pitifully.
