Chapter 406: Old Freeman's Gift

"Hey, do you feel cool?" Yang Meng asked with a shyness on his face.

Xiao Peng also gave him a middle finger and looked at the old Freeman couple who were busy roasting there, but fortunately they didn't see it, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

He ran to old Freeman: "Do you still have brisket? I have never eaten such a delicious roast." ”

"Of course, Xiao, my craftsmanship is not bad, right?" Jenny asked after listening to Xiao Peng's words.

Xiao Peng nodded and gave a thumbs up: "How can it be described as good? It must be described with a good word!"

Old Freeman just wanted to get barbecue for Xiao Peng, but Jenny pushed him: "You go and entertain the rest of your friends." After speaking, he picked up a piece of barbecued meat and cut it: "Try my roasted beef rump, don't mind, believe me, this is the best part." ”

Xiao Peng laughed: "I won't mind." After speaking, he directly picked up a piece of beef rump - meat and put it in his mouth, his eyes lit up, and he stretched out his thumb: "Jenny, the taste is really amazing!"

Jenny looked at Xiao Peng with a smile on the side, but didn't speak. Xiao Peng ate with relish, and after a while, it didn't feel right. Why is it that the old lady just looks at herself and doesn't speak? This is not quite right to look at herself.

Looking at Xiao Peng looking at herself, Jenny hurriedly said: "Xiao, if you like to eat, stay here for a few more days, I'll let you eat enough!"

Xiao Peng shrugged: "How embarrassing is this?"

Jenny said, "You can also see that there are too few people here, and we have friends here, and it's too late to welcome them." In a poor rural area like ours, there are many houses. No number of people are not afraid. ”

Xiao Peng just wanted to refuse, Jenny smiled: "I don't know what they are doing, but I suddenly invited you to come, it should be because there is something I need your help with, I know my daughter, looking at Hathaway's happy expression, it means that you should have helped them." It's not our family style to know how to repay the favor, at least let us entertain you, right?"

"Then I'll talk to my friends. As soon as Xiao Peng finished speaking, he saw Megan running over with a pout, glanced at Xiao Peng, and said to Jenny, "Mom, I have something to tell you." ”

Old Freeman came over with two horses: "Shaw, I'll show you around my ranch." Interested?"

"I can't ask for it. Xiao Peng agreed to Old Freeman's request, and then quickly regretted it----- the ranch was too big. It's not going to be done at all!

This Texas ranch is really not like the Chinese side, the ranch here takes more than an hour to ride around the horseback, and the old Freeman still tells him everything about the ranch, what his grandfather's cabin, his grandmother's rocking chair, once killed a wolf here, once been bitten by a snake there, and so on, and by the time Xiao Peng and the two returned to the house, it was almost dark.

"Mengzi, what about Chris?" When Xiao Peng came back, he found that Yang Meng was the only one sitting there, and Chris and JT were no longer there.

Yang Meng shrugged: "They're gone." ”

"HAT?" Xiao Peng was stunned when he heard this: "Why did they leave so suddenly?"

Yang Meng said: "God knows, these two guys have lost their heads, not to say that there is no time to waste, and they have to devote their limited lives to infinite struggle." It's like beating chicken blood. What do they say they don't have the qualifications to play now, what qualifications do they need to play? This is directly slamming the door with their heads!"

Xiao Peng tilted his head and looked, both cars were there: "How did they go?" Xiao Peng can understand when he thinks about it, he has walked all the way with them, they just know that they have money, but they don't know what they do, maybe they think they are rich second generation or something, even if they tell Chris that they are very poor, they don't believe it. They didn't think that Xiao Peng could accumulate so much wealth so quickly, but at the scene of today's cowboy competition, they found that Xiao Peng belonged to the kind of person who really had the ability to rely on himself, which hit them hard, they were also young people, and they were still the pride of famous universities, but they looked about the same age, but the gap was so big, it was strange that they could feel comfortable.

Yang Meng pointed to the room: "Megan drove them away, she just came back not long ago." ”

Xiao Peng was speechless: "Dude, our driver's license is useless in Texas, how can we drive when they leave?"

Yang Meng said: "They have already thought about it for us, Hathaway and Meghan are going to school in Berkeley, aren't they? Let them send us out, just as Route 66 leads to California, and they will go with us." ”

Xiao Peng scratched his head completely, and Yang Meng looked at him with a complaining face: "Dude, what did you do? How do I feel as if this is the purpose of them letting us come here? Just to leave us here? What is this for? Do you want to be your son-in-law?"

Xiao Peng glanced at him and told Yang Meng what Hathaway told him today, and Yang Meng had a suddenly realized expression: "This is understandable, you have become a gentleman in an instant." It's over, this is really planning to make you a son-in-law. ”

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, if you come, you will be safe, let's stay here for two days and continue on the road. Xiao Peng lit a cigarette and sat on the recliner next to Xiao Peng: "Don't say it, it's really pleasant to lie here and watch the sunset, I will definitely put a rocking chair like this at the door of my house when I go back." ”

"You like rocking chairs like this?" said Old Freeman, carrying a dozen Texas stouts on the table for two, and a large box in the other hand.

Xiao Peng looked at the Texas dark beer and scratched his head: "Old Freeman, wait a minute, try the beer I brought." After Xiao Peng finished speaking, he ran into the car, opened the trunk, and took out a box of cans of Tsingtao beer from it: "Try our country's beer." ”

He really couldn't get used to Texas stout, it tasted terrible. Tsingtao beer is still delicious.

Freeman took a sip of his beer: "Well, it's delicious. With that, he moved a chair and sat down.

"Hathaway told me about it, Shaw, thank you. Freeman said.

Xiao Peng waved his hand: "It's still your craftsmanship that impresses me, but to be honest, there is one thing I don't understand." ”

Freeman asked, "Is there anything you don't understand?"

"Why is it that you have such a big ranch and you don't use it at all? Even if your ranch is here, it's a big ranch, right? But I think it's a lot of it free. Xiao Peng expressed his incomprehension.

Freeman smiled: "Xiao, you don't know much about pastures, my ranch is mainly a pasture pasture, which is for grass farming. I grow a lot of white clover, rye and sultan grass here, and I also have a lot of chicory. In this way, although the income is less, it requires less labor, the income is stable, there is no large-scale natural disaster, and it can basically be profitable. I'm not the kind of person who has a lot of money, and I have the time to study the making of silver jewelry. ”

"Why do you like silver jewelry so much?" Xiao Peng asked.

Old Freeman laughed, "My grandfather was the best leatherman and silversmith here, and the saddle he made was a real work of art." I've been using him as an idol since I was a child. I also want to make such a good saddle. I'll show you his work. With that, he took out a saddle from the box he was carrying.

Xiao Peng took a closer look, this is really a saddle with years. As the elder Freeman said, it's a perfect work of art. In particular, the silver-plated pattern on it is flowing smoothly.

"It's really a good work. Xiao Peng thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

Old Freeman said, "Xiao, this saddle is for you." ”

"What?" Xiao Peng was stunned: "This is not good, this is your grandfather's relic." ”

Old Freeman said, "It's a father's gift. Jenny just told me that they want to come with you in Los Angeles as a thank you for taking care of them along the way. ”

Xiao Peng waved his hand: "It is appropriate to take care of them, this gift is not needed, it is too precious." What do you think? In the future you will have the opportunity to make a beautiful saddle for my horse, is that okay?"

"This 。。。。。。 Old Freeman was a little hesitant.

Xiao Peng smiled: "You can think about it, I have an Andalusian horse, if nothing else, that horse will appear in the Olympic arena." Do you think it's better for me to use your grandfather's work or yours?"

Old Freeman was shocked when he heard this, he knew that Xiao Peng was playing speed horse racing, but when he heard about the Olympics and the Andalusian horse, what did this mean? Xiao Peng was going to participate in equestrian eventing?

Xiao Peng put his finger to his mouth: "Don't say this thing." As it stands, the probability is likely to be higher than 80%. ”

Old Freeman grinned when he heard this, and put the old saddle back into the big box: "I thought about it, I should design and make a saddle that suits you most for you to show my heart more." ”

Xiao Peng touched the wine bottle with him, drank the beer in Pingzhong, and the old Freeman continued: "Xiao, there is actually something I want you to help with, but it is a little difficult to say, I don't know how to say it. ”

Hearing his words, Xiao Peng's head was about to explode: How many are you missing! Don't mention it if it's hard to talk about it, don't you know not to cause trouble to people casually?

Of course, this is just thinking about it, Xiao Peng smiled and said, "If there is anything, you can say it." ”

Old Freeman pointed to the room: "Well, it's actually Megan, she's been bothered today, and I, as a father, I feel very uncomfortable watching her like this." ”

Xiao Peng is upside down, Megan is uncomfortable, and has something to do with me?

Looking at Xiao Peng's confused appearance, old Freeman said: "Megan graduated from the fourth year of high school, so, their school's 'prom' will be held in these two days, she is now waiting for a man to invite her to participate, you know, prom is the most important thing in a girl's life, and who she attends with is very important to her." After speaking, he looked at Xiao Peng expectantly, waiting for his answer.

How do you know that Xiao Peng is completely confused, prom? What the hell! The culture is different, can't you explain it to me well? What do you want me to answer?
