After talking on the phone for a long time, Jenny didn't say goodbye until she returned to the apartment she had shared with Cathy. After hanging up the phone, he looked back and saw that his sister and brother-in-law were standing not far behind him, with smiles on their faces. An Feng was embarrassed and felt his cheeks hot. My brother-in-law is hard to say, but my sister understands English, and I didn't express my American-style love on the phone just now.

My sister came over and touched him with her arm: "Not ready to talk about it?" ”

"Say what?" An Feng pretended to be confused.

"Come less!" My sister rolled her eyes, "Bullying us for not being able to understand English, can you still lie to me about this little Jiujiu?" So many dear, love tiger oil, can you hide it? ”

"Ha Lu Ha." An Feng laughed dryly, "If I say that I was bored practicing English on the phone, and accidentally entered the play, would you believe it?" ”

Everyone shook their heads in unison, and even Xiaoyu, who usually faced him, shook his head with the adults.

After the worst eventually, under the repeated bombardment of his family, An Feng still surrendered and confessed some to satisfy their gossip hearts. It's a pity that they can't meet Jenny on this trip, even my mother is complaining that it should be earlier, but they didn't know that they were worried that Xiaoyu would go to school before, saying that they couldn't go so many days earlier!

……

The eleventh long holiday has not yet arrived, An Feng first took his parents, parents and Xiaoyu to set off. The little girl asked for leave directly from the school, anyway, there was not much content in the class for elementary school students, and she would make up for it when she came back. Xiaoyu will behave, and learned something in advance, indicating that she can keep up. However, my sister and brother-in-law did not set off together, and my sister still had to teach students, so my brother-in-law could only accompany her, so I could only wait for the official holiday to come back.

On the flight from S City to Los Angeles, An Feng bought a more comfortable business class ticket for his family, and the flight of more than ten hours was a big test for his neck, if it wasn't for the first class full, he wouldn't mind enjoying it. Xiaoyu was worried that her uncle would not take her to play, so she was very quiet all the way, and greeted the "flight mother" very politely when receiving the meal - American airlines, there are really many aunt-level flight attendants.

This point is still advanced in China.

……

Arrived at LAX airport, waited for a long time to pick up my luggage, complained about the speed at the airport and did not stop, and continued to transfer to the flight from Los Angeles to SLO. More than an hour later, when I walked out of St. Louis Airport, I saw an F150 driving over, wearing a blue and white plaid shirt and a cowboy hat, Old John got out of the car, and An Feng hugged him.

"This is the daughter of my parents and my sister." An Feng introduced.

"Hi guys!" Old John greeted.

An Feng said: "Sorry, they don't understand English. As soon as the words fell, Xiaoyu shook her hand and said "Hello", which made old John laugh and beckoned to the little girl.

Since it is not possible to park for a long time at the entrance of the airport, everyone gets in the car and leaves.

Look at the rolling hillsides along the way, a vast expanse of vineyards as far as the eye can see, and pass through the rows of low-rise buildings of the city...... Dad suddenly smiled and said: "I have heard how good and developed the United States is, but I really came to see it, why is it like a small county town in China?" ”

An Feng looked back and said: "It's basically like this, Los Angeles, which is known as the second largest city in the United States, after walking out of the city center, you will feel that it is a big rural area." Americans' philosophy of life is different from ours, the high-rise buildings in the city center are just places to work and work, and the rich live in the suburbs. ”

Dad understood a little, and Mom looked at the houses along the way, pointed and said, "Old man, look, isn't this a small western-style building in China?" It still looks like it's made of wood, and it's not strong. Dad took a look at it and said sharply: "If there is a strong wind, it is estimated that the roof will be blown away." ”

"Dad, you're so wise!" An Feng said with a smile.

But Xiaoyu, who is usually lively and naughty, is very quiet, she looks a little tired, leaning against the car door and looking at the unchanged blue sky outside the window, her eyelids are fighting. After about 40 minutes, the car passed through Paso Robles and drove up a flat straight road, and everyone was again attracted by the neat vineyards on both sides.

In October, when the grapes are ripe, the car passes through the sea of grapes, the scenery dominates the view, and the wineries along the way decorate their facades beautifully, with rows of towering green trees, a large soft lawn, pick up a camera, and take a picture of a classic computer desktop.

This fresh and romantic atmosphere conquered everyone.

"It's so beautiful!" Mom sighed.

"It's beautiful." Even Xiao Yu, who was dozing off, was in good spirits.

After arriving home, as soon as she got out of the car, Xiaoyu took her mother's hand, pointed to a tree and shouted, "Grandma, look there, one, two, three, four, five...... Many, many birds! ”

"Old John, I'm sorry for you, do you want a glass of water?" An Feng said.

"No, I'm going to have to check the electrical equipment in the cellar." Old John smiled and refused, waved at them, and put on his own Chevrolet and left.

"Let's go!" An Feng pulled Xiaoyu, who was happy with a few birds, through the garden-like courtyard, and came to the house covered by grass and trees.

"What a big house!" Xiaoyu opened her mouth wide.

"Do you like it?" An Feng picked her up and walked into the house with a smile, "Uncle took you in to find a room, as long as what you like is yours, how about it?" ”

Mom and Dad lagged behind, looking left and right with strange faces, and a word of praise came from time to time. The yard and the house have been repaired three times, and many plants have been transplanted, making it more lively and flexible on the basis of the original, as if you are in a paradise, which makes people linger.

As soon as they entered the door, Pippi and Dandans rushed over and wanted to pounce on An Feng, so frightened that Xiaoyu covered her eyes, An Feng put her down, rubbed the two dog's heads, and said to Xiaoyu: "Don't worry, Pippi and Dandans don't bite, you touch them?" They're very smart, and they can pick up flying saucers! ”

Xiaoyu stretched out her little hand and touched Pip's hairy head, Pippi sniffed her smell, licked her little hand flatteringly, and Dan Dan also shook his head and came over, Xiaoyu eliminated the fear in his heart, and asked his uncle while touching their heads: "Do they really pick up flying saucers?" ”

An Feng found two flying saucers made of plastic, shook them in front of Dandan, sniffed the smell for it, and then gently threw them out, the flying saucer spun through the spacious hall, and Dandan's conditioned reflex chased after it, until the flying saucer disappeared in the backyard, and after a while, an agile black figure ran back with a flying saucer in his mouth, Dandan's flying saucer was put at An Feng's feet, wagging his tail and looking up at him, looking flattering.

"So smart!" Xiaoyu applauded.

"These two little black dogs are so clever." Dad also saw this scene.

An Feng squatted down with a smile and rubbed Dandan's head, turned back to them and said: "These two guys are not ordinary little black dogs, they are blooded bloodhounds, picking up flying saucers is a little meaning, when they grow up, I will take them to hunt, catch hares for me, foxes What's fun!" ”

Then she took Xiaoyu upstairs and downstairs to play for a long time, until she chose a room that she was satisfied with (mainly the location where she could see the small animals), An Feng went downstairs, and the voice of the old mother who was visiting the kitchen on the first floor came: "Xiaofeng, are all your ingredients stuffed in the refrigerator?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?"

"A lot of them stink, you've been leaving them for too long." Mom said.

"I guess old John, they didn't finish it for me." An Feng went over and looked, there was more than half of it, but there were still some that they couldn't eat.

An Feng threw away all the flavorful things, and his mother counted him down for a while, saying that he shouldn't buy so many things, and he couldn't finish eating and spoiled them, which was a pure waste of money. Then I took some edible food and handed it to my father to wash, and the two old men studied it together in the kitchen, and soon got some Chinese meals from the Western kitchen, stir-fried beef with green peppers, fried pork ribs and the like, except for the lack of fragrant rice.

There was no way, he wanted to eat it but he didn't have the ingredients, and no one made it for him. Now that my mother is here, I can feel the deliciousness of Chinese food while biting the bread and eating the ribs.

"Good days are coming." An Feng held the bread slice and cheered, "Catch up with Ming'er, I'll go to the neighborhood to look for it, buy a few packets of rice and rice cookers and come back." ”
