Chapter 106: The Parents' Order
The queen's charm is naturally irresistible, no, Lisa just finished complaining half-truthfully, and a bunch of little girls surrounded her, who seemed to adore Lisa.
"Sister Lisa, we all listened to what you said about women's independence when you gave a speech last time!"
"Yes, I'm very inspired, everyone wants you to join the local Women and Children's Protection Association, and we will definitely support you."
"And your handmade designs are all beautiful, and they don't feel worse than those of the big designers. The last time I wore it to school, my classmates said it was fashionable and fashionable. ”
Lisa does not have the arrogance of an ordinary beautiful and talented girl, and she is well-informed, and she can convey the meaning of a sentence and an action, so she chatted with the people around her very happily, talked about some experiences when traveling, and taught a common sense of dressing and matching, and heard a burst of exclamations from time to time around her.
Ji Xin stood next to him without feeling left out at all, although this person doesn't like to be low-key, but the magical space he carries with him has given him enough confidence. As a partner who wants to love each other for a lifetime, naturally it can't be too ordinary. This is not an ancient society, where men are inferior to women, Ji Xin still hopes that Lisa will have her own social circle and hobbies, and doesn't the book say that only women with independent personalities are more attractive and know how to educate their children?
So Ji Xingong retreated, ran to the side to find the dishes he liked to eat, his mouth kept moving but he didn't make a sound, occasionally listening to the chatter of men and women, this time passed quite quickly.
The only thing that made Ji Xin scratch his head a little was that the gun shop owner named Barn seemed to be very interested in him. From time to time, I asked a few words about Ji Xin's recent whereabouts.
Barne is the father of Nancy, a ranch worker, and an experienced old cowboy. In terms of age, he is more than 20 years older than Ji Xin, which will be attentive to the front and back. almost made Ji Xin unable to resist.
"Uncle Barn, if you can help, I will not refuse" After facing the cowboy with a beard again, Ji Xin finally asked.
Barn's cheeks flushed, and he was a little embarrassed, "It's nothing, it's just something about my daughter I want to ask you"
"Huh?" Ji Xin glanced at the old man with a weak heart, he liked Nancy a little when he first arrived, but later he shortened this idea after knowing that she was famous. This guy isn't going to dig over old accounts right now. Of course, I thought so in my heart, but I was still very polite, "You said that Nancy did well on the ranch." Thomas is going to put her in charge more! ”
"That's nature, Nancy's ability is something I've trained little by little since I was a child, and she won't be worse than anyone else" was praised by the rancher, which was the greatest honor for the cowboy. So Barn also patted his chest and expressed his pride. But in an instant, he became sad again, "Since you think she has a good job, I'll say it directly." Nancy has a boyfriend, who says that he is wandering in a big city, but in fact he is a miscellaneous worker, and he may not sell things in ten days and half a month, and he is so far away, how can we rest assured that such a person you say? ”
Ji Xin seemed to have guessed what Barn wanted to say later, so he deliberately brought the topic to the wrong point, "Then you mean let me persuade Lisa not to be a cowboy." Going to the city to live a good life with your boyfriend? ”
"No, no," Barn shook his head desperately, "marriage is a big deal." We old people are not optimistic, but Nancy is stubborn and refuses to listen to persuasion. I asked Thomas, but it didn't work. I heard that you are a young man and have a good relationship with her, I wonder if you can help remind me? ”
Ji Xin knew that it would definitely not be easy to make an old man who had been stubborn all his life do such a dead face, but this would still be a little flattering, but this was completely beyond his ability! When it comes to private matters, not to mention that the identity of your boss is not enough, that is, if your parents dare to go too far, it will cause a family crisis. Young Americans are self-reliant and don't rely on their parents, but in turn they don't feel too constrained.
Ji Xin was going to refuse without thinking about it, but when he saw the request and hope revealed in Barn's eyes, he was a little soft-hearted, in the final analysis, parents' care and love for their children are the same, no matter which country or nation in the world is the same. After thinking about it, he carefully asked, "I can try to point out the conflict and let Nancy know your worries, as a friend!" ”
"That's good, there is no generation gap between young people, and it is better to communicate" Barn was obviously sick and rushed to the doctor, and it is estimated that his daughter's affairs make him worry a lot, so he will grin and want to thank him.
However, Ji Xin's experience over the years has not been in vain, and he quietly brought the topic back to the luncheon, making people feel that there was nothing abrupt at all.
When he returned home, Ji Xin couldn't wait to tell Lisa and Thomas what had just happened, and then said with a wry smile, "That's the way it is, there is an old Chinese saying that it is better to demolish ten temples than to break a marriage." I regret it a little bit now."
"Now that I know what you're worried about, young people have their own ideas, Lisa is both a girl and a cowboy, it's not so easy to persuade" Lisa thinks it's a thankless errand at all.
Thomas didn't want to talk, but watching the boss staring at him, he could explain "I'm an old friend of Barne, and I've also knocked on the side of this matter, and the result is obvious, they all say that women in love don't have high IQs, I think it's true"
Ji Xin shook his head and said: "This is not necessarily, when it comes to boyfriends, you must be stubborn to death." But this girl is cute, and when it comes to it, I'm all in a lawsuit, so didn't Lisa follow me in one go? ”
"What nonsense?" When Lisa heard that she had something to do with her, she quickly interrupted, "I didn't identify you, and sooner or later you will have to go to England to be tested by your father"
"Yes, boss, you are an authentic cowboy, a big landowner, where can you compare with the person who is not doing his job" Thomas also patted the sycophants, but this is not wrong, Ji Xin's conditions are not bad even among young people in the United States, and he is self-made and worthy of anyone's respect.
Ji Xin listened to the attitude of the two of them, and was also a little pessimistic, "Then forget it, fortunately, I didn't promise anything at the time, I just said my best" After thinking about it, he said to Lisa, "Honey, you are a girl, and you have a lot of topics with Nancy, find a chance to reveal it a little, I believe she will understand, and you are the mistress of the family, you have to take responsibility"
Lisa also understood that this was the reason, which would make Ji Xin talk nonsense without a head, causing misunderstanding, or causing a bigger mess to end badly, so she turned her head and agreed. (To be continued......)
