【Chapter 828】 Warm Reunion (Subscription Requested!)
This day is Saturday, Nini doesn't have to go to kindergarten, Xiao Jinyang didn't go to the pasture to follow the cowboys to graze for the first time, and the whole family stayed near the airport, waiting for Xu Xiangnan and Xu's mother who came all the way from China.
Xu Xiangnan and Xu's mother both arrived in Los Angeles yesterday evening, where they rested and adjusted for a night, and then continued to fly to the 'Dream Ranch' on the 'Nini'.
Xiao Feng's family returned to the 'Dream Ranch' collectively before September, and although they were able to video with the two dolls every day, the two old people still couldn't suppress their longing for their children.
Xu Xiangnan was once a provincial and ministerial-level senior official, but now he has completely taken a back seat, and although the procedures for visiting relatives abroad are a little troublesome, it is not impossible to solve.
In this way, the two old men who missed their grandson obtained the permission of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the General Office of the State Council to fly directly to the United States on the 'Nini'.
As for the other old people, they could only wait for Xiao Feng to return to Ginkgo Village with the children before the Spring Festival.
Old Lady Xiao and Old Lady Xiao simply felt that the journey was too long, and they were worried that their bodies would not be able to bear it, so they gave up their plans to go abroad to visit relatives;
You must know that in order to protect the two old men, the Rongcheng Military Region has stationed a special brigade equipped with anti-aircraft missiles and armed helicopters in the 'Ginkgo New District', and there is even a squadron of J10 fighters at the Nanzhao Military Airport not far away.
At the same time, an internal guard squadron is responsible for the day-to-day security of Ginkgo Village, which is not an exaggeration to describe it as impregnable.
In this case, how could Xu Daring, who is already 96 years old, go abroad?
For today's Huaxia, Xu Daring, who is the only remaining fruit, has become more of a mascot for the whole country and nation!
…………
Soon. The special livery of the 'Nini' appeared in front of everyone, and Dai Bin's skills were as superb as ever, and the plane landed smoothly on the runway.
When the cabin door opened, the familiar figures of grandparents appeared, and Nini and Yu'er Leke ran over with cheers and threw themselves into their arms.
"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law. I really can't help but let you pick up the plane on such a cold day!" Xu Xiangnan put Yu'er on his shoulder and talked to Xiao Jinyang.
The current Xu Xiangnan can't see the powerful aura of ruling Jiangnan Province at all, no matter how you look at it, he is just an ordinary old man who is teasing Sun.
"You came from afar, you should be!" Xiao Jinyang didn't explain too much, took the luggage carried by the crew and took Xu Xiangnan and the two walked to the F150 on the edge of the runway.
"Welcome! Welcome! Warm welcome!" "Eight Elder Brothers" standing on the roof of the F150 saw acquaintances, excitedly fanned his wings, and chatted with Xu Xiangnan.
Every time a guest comes from the country. It's when the 'Eighth Brother' is happy, after all, it is a smart parrot, and it will also feel homesick.
There is only one F150 with child safety seats, Xu Xiangnan and Xu's mother are reluctant to let the children go, so they squeeze into the car driven by Xiao Feng.
The old lady was busy teasing the two children, and Xu Xiangnan looked at this pickup truck with great interest and was amazed.
"This old beauty can also be tossed!" Xu Xiangnan patted the frame of the car window and said with a smile: "Such an oil tiger." If it's in China, it's really not everyone who can afford it!"
The price of the low-profile version of the F150 in China is at least 650,000 RMB, and even local tyrants may not necessarily buy such a pickup truck with a low style. Add a little more and you can buy a Land Rover. What's more, the fuel consumption of the 6.2L V8 engine is maintained at about 20-30L/100 km, in a sense, it is impossible to afford it!
"It's still a gadget!" Xiao Feng said with a smile while skillfully driving the F150: "Ford also has an F650, which is known as 'second-floor driving'!"
After coming to the United States. Xiao Feng found that Lao Mei deserved to be a 'country on wheels', and the low price of cars and oil prices made all kinds of large-displacement oil tigers rampant, which was unimaginable in China.
For Lao Mei, the engine displacement is not the maximum. Only bigger!
When he first came to the United States, Xiao Feng also had the idea of buying an F650, but in the end he gave up the idea of pulling the wind and chose the more ordinary F150.
Now, with the gradual expansion of the scale of the ranch and the increase in the number of cowboys in the ranch, the number of F150s in the ranch is also increasing, and it is already possible to form a large fleet.
In this way, the convoy of 60 Great Wall pickup trucks of 'Jinghu Ranch' is a big deal!
The convoy returned to Maple Leaf Castle in just a quarter of an hour, after all, the airport is only five miles from the castle, and it won't take too long to drive slowly through the ranch.
Although it had snowed, the pasture had not all turned yellow, and the yellow and green grassland had exuded a strong vitality, and Xu Xiangnan couldn't help nodding.
Over the years, because of Xiao Feng's relationship, Xu Xiangnan has not learned much about the operation of the ranch, and when he was in Ginkgo Village, he even went to the ranch for at least three or four days a week.
It can be said that Xu Xiangnan, who has been a soldier and an official, has become a half-ranch expert after self-study after retirement, and has become one of the supernumerary employees of 'Jinghu Ranch'.
Raising cattle is raising grass, whether a pasture is good or bad, just look at its pasture and you can see a clue.
In November, Montana's minimum temperature at night has reached around zero degrees Celsius, except for the beginning of snow, but the pasture grass is showing signs of withering. In a sense, these vigorous pastures are the greatest guarantee for the survival of the 'Dream Ranch'.
This is true of 'Jinghu Ranch', and 'Dream Ranch' is no exception, and when it comes to the livestock that almost never get sick in the 'Xiao Family Farm' and the fruit trees that maintain a good harvest all year round, Xu Xiangnan deduced that Xiao Feng has incredible advanced technology in his hands!
In fact, with the development and growth of the 'Jinghu Group' in recent years, Xiao Feng's every word has been studied under the microscope by the media and the public, and similar judgments have long become a consensus among people.
If it were a few years ago, some people would still use their brains to Xiao Feng, but now that the 'Jinghu Group' has become a general trend, no one can succeed.
For Xiao Feng to create such a foundation in the United States in such a short period of time. Xu Xiangnan was still quite satisfied.
'Flowers are not red for a hundred days', although the current Xu family is in full swing in China, but the old lady is 96 years old after all, and it is impossible to shelter the Xu family forever. After the old lady and her brothers return to heaven for a hundred years, perhaps the ending waiting for the Xu family is not so happy.
As a result, Xiao Feng has a strong base in the United States. It also left the confidence for the Xiao and Xu families to make a comeback.
…………
"This castle is good!" Standing on the lawn in front of the castle, Xu Xiangnan was very satisfied.
Although I have seen the appearance of 'Maple Leaf Castle' in photos and videos before, the real scene is still better, which has a completely different charm from the old house of the Xiao family, which is full of strong ethnic style.
What satisfies Xu Xiangnan the most is that the lawn and small amusement park in front of the castle can be played with the children this time!
In the kitchen, Xue Lihua and Aunt Maria have prepared a sumptuous lunch for Xu Xiangnan and his wife and the crew to wash the dust!
This time, Dai Bin and the others returned to China for more than a month of vacation, and they will live in the 'Maple Leaf Castle' for the next period of time.
For them. Being the crew member of Xiao Feng's private jet is actually a good errand, after all, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao are both otaku girls, and they won't fly around the world without anything.
Some time ago, when Dai Bin and Qi Hong lived in the 'Dream Ranch', they became obsessed with the work of grazing in the pasture, and they went out early and returned late with Xiao Jinyang every day, like professional cowboys.
As for the two flight attendants, Zhang Linghe and Xu Xu, they have become supernumerary personnel of the canteen of the 'Dream Ranch'. Every day, I help the staff make zuò pastries, and I am very busy.
The good family atmosphere of the 'Jinghu Group' makes these crew members take the initiative to help free of charge. This also makes more and more staff have a strong centripetal force on the farm.
All in all, the atmosphere of the whole ranch is quite good these days!
…………
Considering the fatigue of the two old men, Xiao Feng did not arrange any activities in the afternoon, so he let the old man tease the children and rest freely.
In the evening, Xiao Feng still cooked by himself. He cooked several good dishes for the two old men to taste, and his cooking skills have improved a lot recently, and he has won the appreciation of Lao Taishan and his mother-in-law.
Compared to Ginkgo Village, Helena's climate is a little colder, although there is only a little snow during this time. But after nightfall, the temperature at the ranch drops to around zero degrees Celsius.
Compared with the central heating system in northern China, Helena's homes are too far away from each other, so they can only adopt the method of independent heating.
In the cowboy dormitory area of the ranch and the breeding farm, the heating method is oil-fired boiler heating, because the price of heavy oil is low, and the heating cost is quite low.
As for Maple Leaf Castle, underfloor heating was installed at the beginning of construction, so that the temperature of each room can be kept in a relatively comfortable range.
To add to the atmosphere, the fireplace in the castle's large living room is turned on in the winter, and the pine wood with a faint pine smell burns to make the whole living room even more warm.
Of course, if there isn't a chubby little brown bear lying next to the fireplace, Maple Leaf Castle is almost indistinguishable from the living room elsewhere.
Today's 'Fat Ding' has become Nini and Yu'er's favorite plush toy, and they like to hold it every day to play, and the little guy who has food and drink naturally does not have the idea of hibernation, and the daily task is to eat and sleep, wake up and play with the two little masters, life is not too comfortable!
Xu Xiangnan and Xu's mother saw that their daughters and grandchildren were having a good time, and the Maple Leaf Castle was also full of popularity, warmth, and joy from the bottom of their hearts.
In the past, the two old people were worried that life in the vast and sparsely populated Montana was too lonely, but now it seems that it is not bad. (To be continued......)
