After the meal, they talked about equestrianism and hobbies, and she could talk as long as Joanna was interested. An Feng really admired her eloquence, and she didn't stop until she nodded her head countless times. He went into the house and took out a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Joanna: "You have said so much, moisten your throat first." ”

After a few sips of water to moisten her throat, Joanna spoke: "I almost forgot, there is one more thing I haven't said." ”

"And?" An Feng was dumbfounded, haven't you said enough? It's not easy to be a listener, especially if the other person is a bit obsessive-compulsive and you can't get distracted.

"It's not what you think, I'm begging you to do me a favor." Joanna explained, staring at him suddenly, "Do you think I'm wordy?" ”

"Nope!" An Feng shook his head like a rattle, this girl is too sensitive, right? "How can it help? No problem. ”

"I haven't said what it is." Joanna felt he was perfunctory.

"You can't let me pick the stars, can you?" An Feng asked rhetorically, Joanna is too good at doing things, and she will never ask others to do things that they can't do.

Joanna suddenly smiled again: "You know me." Well, I've sold my car and have been driving my family station wagon lately, but I'm going to school in a few days, so I'm planning to buy a new car. I think you're pretty good at it, maybe you can give me some references. ”

"Easy, go tomorrow?" An Feng asked her.

Joanna nodded.

……

When it comes to buying a car, for the country that claims to be on the tires of a car, it is as common as eating, drinking, and lazing. Domestic police stop people to check ID cards, what about the United States? Check the driver's license, they don't have an ID card or household registration book, only a driver's license and an SSN, which shows the popularity of cars.

With high popularity, cars are naturally cheap – so cheap that people are jealous and excited, and the price of the car makes it difficult to distinguish which is developed and which is developing. If the same car is sold for $100,000 in the United States, it may be doubled when it comes to China, and it will be sold for more than $200,000.

Since coming to the United States, An Feng feels that he can still adapt to it, but he can't stand two things the most: lettuce salad and car prices. For cars, if he doesn't understand anything, it's okay to say, but he remembers clearly, domestic prices and foreign prices are always unconsciously compared, and when he sees it, he can't help but want to buy it. This is the same reason as when Chinese people go to foreign countries to buy luxury goods on holidays.

Multiple choice question: The same style quality, less than half the price, do you buy it or not?

So when An Feng and Joanna went to the car market, they felt full of malice from capitalist society.

Joanna's budget for buying a car is between five and sixty thousand, and the family must be wealthy by the standards of school students. Because 50,000 can buy most of the cars running on the street. Students generally buy second-hand cars, three or four thousand dollars are enough, and more than 10,000 can be exchanged for sports cars. As for the new car, in the case of BMW X5, many people in China like it, but the low-profile version can be bought here for more than 50,000 points.

Despite the fact that SLO County has a population of only about 200,000, car dealers are everywhere, and they are everywhere in many cities in the county. An Feng took Joanna around slowly, and her choices ranged from coupes, four-door coupes to bulky SUVs. An Feng gave suggestions one by one.

Finally, she fell in love with the Land Rover-Range Rover Evoque. Land Rover is related to the royal family, and the Queen of England has a special Land Rover car, and she has personally driven a Range Rover. It was once the pride of Britain, but it is a pity that it is now sold to its former little brother - India. However, Hallelujah, the Land Rover on sale is an American-spec car, made locally.

As for the Land Rover Aurora, An Feng can complain a lot, the Land Rover Aurora is actually embarrassed to use the Ford Mondeo engine, hahaha...... He felt that there was nothing to be desired except for the appearance - it was a pity that women liked its fashionable appearance, except for the four-door version. This Aurora is a rare two-door version, with a dewy white body and extremely large 21-inch carbon black wheels. Lamborghini's body-in-white carbon black wheels are beautiful, right? That's it.

Coupe SUVs are rare, sporty and stylish, and they are not as big as four-door models, subverting the tradition that SUVs are only suitable for gentlemen. An Feng knew at first glance that this was a girl's car...... Joanna is tall and tall, and she stops next to the car, absolutely not! If you want to change into a dress, this temperament is not to say!

"What do you think?" Joanna sat in the driver's seat and turned her head to look at An Feng.

An Feng swallowed the words he wanted to complain about into his stomach and nodded: "It's very ...... All right. Get a bright interior, use perfume, and add some sparkling crystals to the license plate. ”

"Good idea." Joanna nodded.

An Feng thought that since he was already undisciplined enough, he simply suggested that she make the car look like a lady driving it at a glance. If you only evaluate the appearance of the car, the front face is very handsome, the double door is cool, and he can still give eight points out of ten. The style with a little softness in the middle matches Joanna.

After accompanying her for a test drive, An Feng has changed a lot, by the standard of a woman, it is very comfortable, the short wheelbase is easy to handle, and the body is small and easy to see the road. As for the back row without a door, An Feng, who is in his early eights, is a little depressed to sit in, but nine times out of ten, the back row will be reduced to a storage area.

After making up my mind, I paid more than 50,000 points including insurance, and picked up the car three days later. Joanna was very happy to choose the car she was satisfied with, and invited the hero An Feng to drink tea at the open-air store in Orbisburg. She is very particular about drinking, she doesn't drink coffee, she only drinks tea, usually English black tea. An Feng drank it a few times under her recommendation, and it was a little different from domestic tea, they added a lot of things, milk, sugar or honey and so on.

Of course, drinking tea is not about a cup of tea, but also with snacks, biscuits, and fruits. It is most suitable for brewing black tea with high-end tea utensils, tasting dim sum, and chatting leisurely for an afternoon in the afternoon when there is nothing to do...... From the perspective of being in a daze, An Feng likes this tone very much.

Eating a stone biscuit that is only soft after making tea, and taking another sip of tea, An Feng stretched his waist comfortably. "I'm afraid that's one of the very few things in British dining habits that I can be happy with."

Joanna smiled, she was still self-aware and didn't dwell on the issue of British food.

An Feng chatted with her without a match, and inadvertently, he found that most of the people who came to drink afternoon tea were male and female couples, and a very few were friends. A thought came to her mind, if it was Jenny sitting in front of her, she could calm down and talk to herself without thinking about anything......

Shaking her head, it was still Joanna who was elegantly sipping tea in front of her...... For some reason, her quiet temperament has some indescribable charm.

An Feng extinguished this thought, maybe he had been separated from Jenny for too long.

A few days later, Joanna was gone, and the bears were gone to school, and the house was empty again, except for the occasional slap of Pipsqueak and Balls.

An Feng found a lot of things to do for himself, riding a horse and training dogs, playing with guns at the shooting range, typing on the computer when he had time, recording everything that the machine brain could find, transferring what could be used to his mind, and deleting what he didn't use...... Finally, by the middle of the month, it was almost time to go back, hand over the management of the vineyard to John Sr., pack his bags, and take a flight back home from Los Angeles.

Because of the calculated time, it was just morning when I returned to China, and I was a little tired, but An Feng returned like an arrow and did not stay. I flew back to the south non-stop, took a crowded minibus for more than an hour, and returned to my hometown sweating. Before I walked out of the station, I saw my father at the door from a distance.

An Feng trotted over and shouted "Dad", Dad habitually wanted to help him get something, but he refused with a smile: "This little thing is not tired." It's you, don't you look for guilt here on a hot day, how good it is to stay at home! I'm not a three-year-old child, and I'm afraid I won't get lost? ”

That being said, I was very moved in my heart, in the hearts of parents, children may not grow up, right?

Dad smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just a long time since I saw you, I heard that you came back, your mother always urged me to pick you up, and didn't even give me a stool to sit on, saying that I don't feel anything if I don't come back in China for a year and a half, and this goes abroad, and it feels longer than a year!" ”

An Feng was originally very moved, but thinking of his father's appearance of being robbed of the bench, he couldn't help but cover his stomach and smile.
