Chapter 21: The Flood Washes the Dragon King Temple (3)
The development of things is very bloody and dramatic, a group of young people who explored in the mountains of Sichuan Province encountered ** annoyance, the team leader George was inadvertently patronized by a poisonous snake, in that era, the footsteps of human beings have not yet conquered the mountains, not to mention poisonous snakes, that is, wolves, tigers also haunt from time to time, limited by resources The local hospital can not be treated, naturally they are not a professional expedition They have no more serum or anti-snake ** agent. Fortunately, someone recommended them to go to the second master's house, and of course the second master's father was still alive at that time.
In this way, the earthwork of the mountain people saved George's life, and the immortal guy suddenly had a strong curiosity about Chinese medicine and kung fu, and insisted on staying alone in the village at the same time, he also learned to work in the fields with the people around him, smoke big tobacco bags together, and bathe in the water together.
Of course, George even planned to learn from Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan in the ancient book to have a realistic version of the brotherhood, but unfortunately the idea did not come true until the bodyguard sent by his father from England to arrest him home appeared, which also made the old man regretful, but the friendship for most of the year could not be faked.
It was also during that period of rebirth that George was able to bend down and work hard to stand out among the brothers in the family and become the patriarch and helmsman of the big family. The old man always wanted to go back to his second hometown to see, but his identity was too sensitive in the past, and the government could not agree, and he was afraid of bringing trouble to the simple village, but now he finally has the opportunity, and his health is not good.
Ji Xin looked at the old man's unwilling look, and comforted, "The second master ** is in good health, I plan to wait for them to come over to live in the future, and then you can get your wish and see your brothers and friends back then?" ”
"That's not good, how can there be a reason for an elder brother to come to see his younger brother in this world, I have planned it, after the New Year, I will go to Sichuan Province, go to Uncle Ji's grave, and go to see my childhood playmate, no matter what others say this time, even if I die, I will die on the way home" The old man rejected Ji Xin's proposal, and patted the table vigorously It was obviously not a sudden decision.
Unwilling to say more, George looked at Ji Xin again, "Boy, don't try to persuade me, let's go to the restaurant now, the Sichuan chef I invited tastes definitely no worse than you eat in your hometown" The guest is as easy as the host, Ji Xin obediently stepped forward to hold the old man's arm and walked to the restaurant. Not surprisingly, there is no long Western-style dining table on TV, and the round mahogany table is clearly a product of the trip to China.
"This is where the host usually eats with his family, and there will be other halls when there are really guests" It seems that Ji Xin will think too much, Kuqi took the initiative to introduce that this time it is a family banquet, so there is no need for so many cumbersome etiquette.
"I understand, that's how I eat at home, chatting while eating, it's very lively" Ji Xin nodded in agreement, "When I came to the United States for a while, I felt that those banquets were either not full, or they were a little restrained, and it was better to eat at ease."
"Hehe, that's because you're not used to it, I'll find you a housekeeper to help you later, and you'll be much better" George will completely bring himself into the identity of an elder, "By the way, I heard that you are coming for my ranch?" Why don't you sign the contract after eating."
"Ji" Listening to the old man's tone, Anthony seemed to have completed the business negotiation, and he was overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to dance with his hands, what a great success this was. You must know that so many famous agents have failed, and their fame will definitely spread among the wealthy in New York: "The contract is in my bag, right, is the price still 10 million dollars?" ”
"No, this piece of land is a gift from me to Xin, and it is a gift to the United States" The old man shocked Anthony as soon as he spoke, and even the housekeeper was a little surprised, his master didn't seem to love his children so much, what was going on?
"No, George" Ji Xin quickly reacted, "I can't accept such a valuable gift, you must know that I originally wanted to work hard, so that the second master and parents heard my promise, God, they will break my leg"
"Poof" The old man laughed, "Back then, Uncle Ji often threatened the second brother like this, but what you said also makes sense, it is always beneficial for young people to have more experience, then buy that land for 10 million, don't refuse, you also said that the second brother let you come to me if you are in trouble, God, I can still see you from such a distance, it's really fate"
"Well, thank you so much" Ji Xin couldn't stand the crazy look in Anthony next to him, and agreed. The man did not know the actual price of the land, and felt that even if he had a little cheapness, it would not be high, so he replied very happily.
God knows, this will be the little man Anthony's heartbeat is almost more than 100 beats, just now this Chinese actually refused, Anthony felt that he wanted to die at that time, so much fame, wealth away from him, but he didn't think that if he really gave away according to the contract, the income he could get was actually pitiful. Now this situation is happy for all.
After a hearty spicy lunch, he rejected the housekeeper's suggestion to go and rest for a while. Several people returned to the study, it seemed that the old man was used to talking about things or thinking here, only this time there were more agents Anthony and butler Kutch.
"These books will give me strength, whether it is American, Chinese, or from other countries, the authors have their own nationalities, and there are no boundaries between wisdom and knowledge." Ignoring the two who were discussing the details of the contract, George was in high spirits and wanted to talk about something with this fellow who had just met.
Ji Xin was not unhappy, anyway, before coming here, Huang Fujiang had already helped draft a land transfer contract, as long as the core clauses above remained unchanged, other details still had to be sent to New York for further confirmation by the barrister, and he was not afraid of what Anthony would do on it.
"You know, when I was your age, I often felt that I was strong enough, but this bastard of life always hits you hard again and again when you are complacent, reminding you that you are still far away, so you must be cautious at all times and let yourself be full of energy" The old man said very plainly, but Ji Xin knew that this was a good word of gold and jade, and it was a summary of the experience of decades of wind, frost, snow and rain.
"The old people in the family also said this to me, and they always said that if we young people don't hit the south wall and don't look back, sooner or later we will suffer a big loss" Ji Xin pursed his lips, feeling that the cultural differences between the East and the West are actually not much, and the elders always have to tell the younger generations carefully.
"It's good if you know it in your heart" Seeing Ji Xin's insincerity, George didn't say much, "Just like your grandfather said, don't be embarrassed if you have trouble, you must call me." Don't worry, I'm different from the elders in your family, I'm an old beauty, I don't see you just call me by my name or simply call me old man? ”
"Don't worry, George, I'll be the first to contact you when I need help, as long as you don't have a headache by then." Cautiously took a card with only the name engraved and a string of phone numbers, Ji Xin carefully put it away, this thing must be very important, didn't you see Anthony's eyes are about to fall off at this time, that look like a robber and snatch things and run.
"That's good, I still have some strength in the United States" said the old man and made a strong man gesture to show that he was still very young. "By the way, I almost forgot to ask, didn't your second master say that you would contact me as soon as you arrived in the United States, I think if I hadn't happened to be caught this time, we wouldn't know when we would have met?"
"Ahem, this" Ji Xin knew that the old man would ask this question, and replied with a tangled face, "The second master told me that his friend in the United States is a small farmer, but I checked the land in Montana, but found that the land seems to be owned by a big man, I thought that George you are no longer there, so I planned to ask the second master about it in the future or inquire slowly, but I didn't expect ......"
"Haha, the second brother is still so honest" Looking at Ji Xin's embarrassing appearance of touching his little nose, George was happy again, "You must know that the small farmers have been decades ago, the second brother's kung fu medical skills have improved, and my development in the United States is not bad, the information you got is not wrong, I have a lot of land in Montana, if you want to develop in agriculture in the future, maybe I can provide a lot of advice." ”
"Okay, Kuqi, don't be blind, I know it's been a long time, I'll go to rest after the contract is signed," George looked at the housekeeper who had already completed the contract details discussion and printing work next to him, and said helplessly, in addition to the deceased wife in this family, only this old friend who has accompanied him since childhood can make himself helpless.
Swiped and signed his name and handed the contract to Ji Xin, George said as loudly as he could, "Boy, do a good job, welcome to Mei Lijian" Speechlessly took the pen and paper, Ji Xin felt that what the second master said was really right, this American elder is still so jumpy.
glanced at the signature of Huang Fujiang in the lawyer's column on the contract, and nodded with satisfaction, yes, this guy is quite efficient. The message was sent to him at noon, and within a few hours the fax came. Ji Xin leaned down and solemnly signed his name, finally completed, this is the beginning of his career and the reopening of his life.
