After chatting with Lin Hai and his wife for a while, they left each other's contact information and said goodbye and went home.

Holding Joanna's hand, when he walked near the door of his house, he found two girls looking at the door, holding a bunch of posters and other things in their hands, looking for someone. An Feng walked over and said hello, "Hey, girls, is there anything you can help with?" ”

They looked back and politely said, "Hello! We are community volunteers, are you the owners of this new house? ”

An Feng said: "Yes, my surname is An, and this is my wife." ”

Joanna nodded at them.

"Hello, Mr. and Mrs." One of the black-haired girls said, pulling out a couple of posters and handing them them: "Here is the notice of our community's event, tomorrow afternoon we will vote in the community park to decide on the construction of the dock supermarket." I hope you will be on time and cast your vote. ”

An Feng and Joanna took the poster, and the community voting event to which they belonged would vote not to allow the construction of a supermarket near the east pier.

In other words, if an investor wants to build a supermarket there, it is not just to buy the land, and the government will allow it, but as long as the community residents do not agree, then sorry!

An Feng finished reading the introduction and said, "It's good, we will participate on time." ”

The two girls smiled and said, "Thank you and have a great day!" ”

The community culture in the United States is very prosperous, and unlike the initial sprouts in China, when their material life is abundant, their demand for spiritual culture is gradually rising, so there are large and small communities, with community parks, community libraries, activity centers and other areas, as well as a variety of community services. Vehicle storage, front yard garden greening, child care and the like, very user-friendly.

A community is an organization that serves the residents of the area, with an owners' committee, whose members are elected by vote of the residents. The vote here is for community residents, not necessarily American citizens, so An Feng and Joanna also have the right to vote in the community.

And given the history of Americans, they naturally distrust the government and are used to solving problems with neighbors or community residents, so community means a lot to them. As long as the residents vote on something, the government has no right to interfere without violating the law.

……

The next day happened to be Sunday, and everyone was free. Considering that in addition to voting, there will be some entertainment in the community park, dress casually, and Anfeng white T-shirt and jeans will go into battle. Joanna loves beauty, wearing a light white dress, flat shoes with bows, and a hat with feathers.

As an Englishman, Joanna's hat control is also very serious. There are currently more than fifty hats in the house, and the trend is still high. She always goes shopping and doesn't forget to look for the hat she is interested in...... For this reason, An Feng had to consider converting a guest room into a dedicated shoe and cloakroom.

Joanna looked in the mirror and asked An Feng, "Do you think it's okay for me to be like this?" ”

An Feng looked at it and nodded: "Very good, fresh and natural neighborhood style, the little boy's dream lover." ”

She turned: "What about you?" ”

"Great love!" An Feng really praised, "Especially when the pure woman shows her unique side to me." ”

That touching side. Most of the time she couldn't help but do something that made An Feng boil......

"Ahh Here you go again! Joanna was furious and immediately pursued him.

Coming downstairs with a fight, Joanna said that she was tired and didn't want to take a few more steps to die, so she insisted on An Feng carrying her. He had to carry her to the garage. On the way, he muttered: "Your British lady's festival is estimated to be lost in a few years!" The force of American cultural invasion is too strong! Learn less from them in the future! ”

Joanna smiled, she was retaliating against An Feng for deliberately provoking = teasing her.

Although the community park is only three kilometers away, like other American lazy people who are absolutely reluctant to walk a few extra steps if they can drive, they choose to drive out of the city. However, An Feng had a reason for this, and they planned to go to San Francisco to find something to eat after participating in the event.

Excuses are great, but they should think about the point of getting up in the morning and running.

For casual driving, it has to be a sports car, and it has to be convertible. Porsche 918 sci-fi and popular, to be honest, there are not necessarily people in the rich area who can drive this kind of limited supercar, they have lived for less than a month, and the surrounding neighbors have almost remembered this young and rich couple through the car.

Blowing the wind, following other cars to park in the parking lot at the entrance of the park, in view of the good local security and the trouble of manually installing the roof, An Feng raised the window and got out of the car, closed the door and left the roof open, and pulled his wife away...... On the way, I greeted some people who had met me once or twice.

There are many strange community activities, and when An Feng was in the vineyard before, the local community was absurd, such as "how to train a hound dog to repel mice". Listening to his father-in-law Frank, the men also held a "How to deal with the ace skills of a suspicious wife".

The event took place on the grass of the park, and a ballot box was set up in front of a roadside bench, and several staff members were busy. As for the children bears running around on the grass and the parents who sat on the ground and prepared a picnic...... This is mostly a community family gathering, who makes everyone have a strong sense of family.

An Feng also met Lin Hai and his wife who he met yesterday, and a tall, thin girl of fifteen or sixteen years old who was wearing a long-sleeved printed shirt, pencil pants, and high heels. This is supposed to be their daughter who came to high school, and she looks a little youthful and rebellious.

Gao Jie smiled and introduced: "This is my daughter Lin Xiaofei. Xiaofei, say hello, this is my brother and sister I told you yesterday. ”

Lin Xiaofei was particularly uninterested in her parents, but she stretched out her fist to An Feng coolly: "What-up? ”

An Feng also bumped his fist with her: "Fine! ”

Gao Jie frowned: "Why don't you study those blacks?" ”

"Racism." Lin Xiaofei rolled her eyes.

Lin Hai also reminded: "Pay attention to your manners, don't be half-black and half-white." ”

Lin Xiaofei pouted in silent protest.

Gao Jie said to them, "I'm so sorry. ”

Joanna was very understanding: "Children are very rebellious in adolescence, and the more you talk about them, the more she will resist these ideas. ”

Lin Xiaofei turned her head to look at her: "You are so beautiful." ”

Joanna smiled and nodded: "Thank you, such a beautiful girl." ”

"Oh?" Lin Xiaofei looked at her.

Joanna commented: "Pencil pants are very good, with your thin body. It's also in line with this year's American trend, but the clothes aren't very qualified. ”

Lin Xiaofei looked down: "I also feel that the clothes are a little incongruous." ”

Joanna pointed out to her: "With your figure, it's best to wear a light pink long-sleeved shirt with a cinched waist and a bright red bag." ”

Lin Xiaofei imagined.

"Taylor-Swift's Summer Street Vintage Looks." Joanna prompted.

"I like Taylor!" Lin Xiaofei seemed to like this style very much, "You are so amazing." I'll have to throw this dress away when I get back. ”

At this point, Lin Hai and Gao Jie admired Joanna, and after changing her flower shirt, they alleviated the rebellious girl's secondary two syndrome.

When she was with Joanna, Lin Xiaofei talked a lot, she did not deliberately rebel against her parents, but humbly asked for advice, how to play the trend, how to keep up with the rhythm of the United States. Later, it becomes how to practice daily speaking, how to deal with interpersonal relationships, and how to deal with female school bullies......

An Feng said to the stunned Lin Hai and his wife, "How is it? With patience and catering to the child's fun, this approach may be more effective. ”

Gao Jie nodded: "Mrs. An really has a set, you must be very good at educating children." ”

An Feng smiled: "Ha Luha, we don't have children yet." ”

Gao Jie smiled: "Sooner or later, but the girl is still quite young, so she is really not in a hurry." ”

An Feng smiled and nodded. Then he pointed to the grass on the side: "Let's sit down for a while." Listen to the opinions of other residents and make a reference or something. ”

Lin Hai said: "Not bad. This kind of weather is the most suitable for chatting nonsense in China. ”

During the chat, I learned that Lin Hai and his wife have stable investments in China, and in consideration of their children's education and their yearning for the world abroad, they specially immigrated here, but they are not very familiar with the local area and have no jobs recently. I'm not familiar with the environment, so I'm just relaxed and wandering around.

In the past, I was actually a sales agent of red wine, or a high-end imported wine from Australia. After coming to California, I also have the same idea, after all, it is easier to return to the old business than to break into an unfamiliar field, but if you are unfamiliar with life, it is difficult to move an inch in the face of a group of foreign devils.

After thinking about it, An Feng said: "I do have a vineyard with 300 acres of red wine, and I plan to make some red wine, but I don't have proper marketing management. ”

Although the vineyard is managed by a dedicated person, if you want to launch the brand to the market after establishing it, you need a partner, a suitable marketing method, and so on.

An Feng said, "Are you interested in seeing the garden?" ”

Lin Hai said in surprise: "It's good, as long as you have time, we can set off at any time, and we can also take it as a tour." ”

An Feng said: "It's no problem, but we've been a little busy lately, and Joanna and I have to plan a wedding, so maybe after October." ”

……

chatting, not in a hurry to vote, and discussing with the white people around him who have reservations, most of the white people are very enthusiastic, easy to get along with, and do not deliberately show a sense of superiority, at least An Feng has not encountered it - of course, he drives millions of cars and rides tens of millions of planes, and you have to be superior.

The white people here are very welcoming, and they have made a lot of friends, and a native American named Sam said: "Actually, it's nice to have a supermarket near the docks, and it's a lot of trouble to have a supermarket here across the city by a canal, and it's a lot of trouble to have a supermarket here." ”

Someone agreed: "Building a supermarket means having a wide public parking lot, and it will be much easier to tow a yacht and find a place to park." ”

For An Feng, it doesn't matter if he opposes and agrees, anyway, it's far away from him, and he can't be noisy if there is noise, but everyone tends to agree, so he followed the masses, also filled in the consent vote, and signed his name, and solemnly put it into the ballot box - for a while, I have never seen what the ballot looks like in my life, even the university vote is verbal, and it is really rare to be able to stick to the scene where I vote and really influence the decision.
