"I can't compare with you, a local tyrant, do you know how much it costs to just open these windows?" Xia Mu smiled helplessly, she found that now the roles of the two seem to have been reversed all of a sudden, thinking that when she was in school, she was not stingy with money, and she spent it however she wanted, while Gao Xi was eager to break the coin of a dollar in half to use it.

It's just that I didn't expect that it had only been a few years, and the whole thing was reversed, she had become a model of thrift, while Gao Xi didn't care about the cost at all.

"You estimate that you can only open up to six windows, plus a ventilation fan, how much can it cost?" Gao Xi asked puzzled.

Even if he is not a local tyrant, in his mind, Xia Mu will not even be able to afford this little money, so he has to do it himself.

Xia Mu smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "You are really full and don't know that hungry men are hungry, these six windows plus a ventilation fan, if you invite professional workers to come and do it, it will cost at least twenty or thirty thousand dollars." But if you do it yourself, it will cost less than $6,000, and you can do the math yourself, how big the gap is. ”

"This seems to be the case not only in the United States, but also in China recently, and the labor cost is more expensive than the material cost." As soon as Gao Xi heard Xia Mu's words, he probably understood, he did it himself, and it really saved money, but this window change is not a trivial matter, can he really do it?

He brought up this question, and Xia Mu said that of course he could do it, and several people in the company had done this kind of work, and it was not a big project.

"Since that's the case, it's okay, for the sake of Sister Mu, you are so sincerely requesting, I will go and do chores for you tomorrow, it just so happens that there is a kitchen over there, I will cook a few more dishes for you, I recently learned a few hands from Dong Chen's father, I believe you like to eat." Gao Xi thought about it, no matter how lazy he was, since it was Sister Mu's business, he would always have to go over to help. So I agreed.

"I want to eat braised prawns, do you?" Xia Mu said excitedly: "I've been here for many years, and I've always wanted to eat shrimp, but I can't find a chance. I can't do it myself, it's just crazy for me. ”

"I'll make it for you if you like it, but I'll see if you have a place to sell shrimp in San Francisco tomorrow." Well, there should be, Sister Mu, you don't care. Tomorrow, I'll wait to eat the braised prawns I made for you, although the taste may not be as good as that of a chef like Uncle Dong, but it is definitely not unpalatable. "Of course Gao Xi won't buy it, there are still a lot of green shrimp in his space, if you want to eat it, you can just catch some of it, but you must still want to go out and pretend to buy vegetables.

"Great, I knew you kid could do it."

"Hey, Sister Mu, didn't anyone tell you how strong this hand is? Are you going to take off my arm? Gao Xi grinned as he was slapped by Xia Mu.

"Come on, I think you're much stronger than you used to be. When you were in school, you were almost as tall and thin as you used to be. "Xia Mu didn't have a good air.

"It's not that exaggerated, at most it's skinny." Gao Xi smiled bitterly: "By the way, Sister Mu, you are so short of money, how to pay the insurance and taxes of this company's house, I remember that the taxes and insurance premiums of my ranch account for a lot, fortunately Dong Chen took care of it for me, otherwise I would have a headache to death." ”

"The house taxes are paid by the owner of the house. The rent we give is actually included in it, so we don't have to worry about it. But this owner is really dark enough, it stands to reason that we open the window in the garage, and the insurance company will pay money. Let's just say that these six windows and a ventilation fan, at least have to pay 10,000 yuan, the owner of this house not only took the insurance compensation, but also asked us for money, he made a lot of money from it, what a hateful capitalist! Shamu explained.

"It's dark enough." Gossi stuck out his tongue and said.

"Alas. No way, this is the depression under the fence. In addition, when you talk about insurance, it is natural to buy, not only mine, but also all employees of the company have to buy, what medical insurance, personal insurance, etc., anyway, there is a lot of mess, and it really costs me a lot of money. But these can't be handed over, otherwise they will be investigated. You ranchers, in order to save money on these insurances, will secretly hire those illegal immigrants to work, because you don't need insurance. Xia Mu sighed.

"I know that although I don't have illegal immigrants there, I know a rancher who really asked someone like that to work for him." Gao Xi nodded.

Xia Mu glanced at Gao Xi and said, "You kid has no concept of money, and you don't pay attention to it, so you are the most easily deceived." You remember, if you want to go to the hospital, beware of the most criticized medical system in the United States, Obama shouted for medical reform, but how long has it been, and there has been no improvement. Anyway, I've been in the U.S. for so long, and I've really suffered a lot of losses. Remind you of this. ”

"This ...... I seem to have been in the U.S. for so long, and I haven't been sick! It's really not clear what the situation is in the hospital. Gossi scratched his head and said.

"No, you've been in the United States for a short time, aren't you, if you don't say anything else, there is no situation where you are not adapted? Even if you didn't, didn't you bring your sister's child with you? Haven't really been to the doctor? Xia Mu asked in surprise.

"Hehe, probably our family is in better health." Gao Xi secretly stuck out his tongue, the real reason he knew, because of the influence of the spring of life, his family is afraid that he will not get sick for the rest of his life, and it is estimated that there will be no intersection with American hospitals, so whether Obama's medical system is going to change seems to have nothing to do with him.

But isn't the money for medical insurance thrown away in vain?

Although Gao Xi is willing to spend money, he is very reluctant to throw money in vain where he doesn't need to spend money, and he will study it when he goes back to see if he can leave the money.

"When people get sick, I remind you, when you see a doctor in the United States, you must have a good heart, otherwise you don't know how you died. Well, of course, you're rich, or better than an average person. Xia Mu said very seriously.

"Sister Mu, what you said is too exaggerated, anyway, the United States is the most developed country, and it is better to see a doctor than in our China, right?" Gaucy genuinely doesn't know much about the U.S. health care system, which is why he says that.

"Hmph, very stupid and naïve Chinese immigrants used to think that if they are sick, they can go directly to the hospital, the test results can be taken in 20 minutes, they can take medicine in two steps in the hospital, the doctor will let the blood transfusion if they have a heart attack, the ambulance will not go bankrupt if they have a heart attack, they don't have to pay the overnight fee for hanging water in the middle of the night, and they can stay in the hospital for two days after giving birth. However, in fact, these things are all naïve diseases developed under the Chinese medical system, and when you get to the United States, you don't have to think about it. The United States is the most developed country, but its medical system is inferior to those in Northern Europe, and even to neighboring Canada. Xia Mu snorted coldly and said, it seems that she has a lot of opinions about the medical system in the United States.

"Sister Mu, aren't you one of those stupid and naïve fools at the beginning?" Gao Xi laughed.

"Go to bed." Apparently Gao Xi poked Xia Mu in the sore spot, was kicked in the ass by Xia Mu, laughed and went back to his room.

Gao Xi actually doesn't care if Lao Mei's medical security system is an evil system, he doesn't need to go to the doctor anyway, and he doesn't need it for the rest of his life.

He's just a poor immigrant, and he hasn't lived for a year yet, so it's better to provoke the U.S. government less, or someone will label you a spy, and you'll be miserable.

Although the CIA on QQ last time was fake, but the next time it is not true, in the United States, the Chinese were framed as spies is not once or twice, because the Chinese have no political status, and the Chinese who really sit in the position of high-ranking officials are unwilling to do things for the Chinese, and now the status of the Chinese in the United States, it is really, alas, I can't say it, I can't say it.

Since he doesn't have any status, then be his own free rancher, don't fool around, he never thinks he is so great.

Gao Xi, who returned to the room, locked the door and got into the space by himself, this room may have been unoccupied for a long time, anyway, the smell is not very good, there seems to be a smell of something moldy, which is really unbearable.

Of course, the space is different, with fresh air and the right temperature, even if you don't sleep in the Ancient Tree, you can sleep in a hammock outside. However, Gao Xi still chose to spread a blanket outside, and then slept with Aquaman in one hand and Dabai in the other.

These two guys are warm and can also increase Gao Xi's sense of security, and I don't know how safe it is to sleep at night.

I got up in the morning and went downstairs, and before I washed my face and rinsed my mouth, Xia Mu downstairs shouted: "Gao Xi, sister is happy today, so the task of cooking will be handed over to you, it is six o'clock, and we arrived at the company at eight o'clock, so you have enough time to buy vegetables and cook, and sister is going to wash clothes, so as not to complain there." ”

"No, you're happy to let me cook, and there's such a happy way?" Gao Xi was speechless to this Sister Mu, but thinking about Xia Mu's cooking skills, he still obediently went to wash up and made it himself, Xia Mu used to cook when he was in college, although it was not to the level of dark cuisine, but the dish was either too much vinegar or too much salt, anyway, it couldn't make people eat comfortably, I don't know how she was cooking now, but Gao Xi didn't want to be this guinea pig, it just so happened that he had a lot of ingredients around him, and he didn't mind cooking a meal, which could be regarded as thinking about his stomach.
