Chapter 142: The Work You Are Good at
From the sun rising, Ju An began to look forward to the arrival of the evening, and when he took a nap at noon, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and when he got up, he interviewed a few clothes in front of the mirror, and wanted to dress himself up handsome on the first date, who knew that he had chosen a few times, and he was not very satisfied, he was going to wear a suit, but he thought about it too formally, and finally he was wearing jeans and high-state riding boots, a red checkered shirt, and a sleeveless sweater inside, and a dark blue half-length trench coat was selected for the jacket. After putting the Teddy in the space, Ju An drove out of the ranch and headed in the direction of Dinah's house.
I parked my car at the door of Dinah's house, and as soon as I got out of the car, Ju An saw Dinah's mother Melina, who I saw last time, feeding the chickens in the chicken coop next to the house.
When she saw Ju An, Melina smiled and said to Ju An: "An! It's so early." Melina is closer to white in appearance, big brown eyes, snow-white skin, only black hair can vaguely see the shadow of his Chinese father, Ju An has been here for so long, the mixed-race children he has seen seem to be a little more inherited from his mother, for example, his mother is black, and the children he sees basically show the characteristics of black people, Melina is too, although his father is Chinese, but he can see Chinese ancestry on his body, it is estimated that it is the black hair, except for Obama, of course, Lao Ao's mother is a white man, but he can be black, no wonder people can mix with the president to do it, it's different from ordinary mixed-race children, but recently it has been rumored that the large-scale photos taken by Lao Ao's mother when she was young are boiling, and this president is really uncomfortable.
Ju An smiled and said, "Come and pick up Dinah early, I'm going to go to dinner first and then go to the movies."
When Melina heard this, she jokingly said to Ju An: "Oh! Oh! Young man, you don't have to report to me about your date, just tell Dinah."
Ju An touched his nose and smirked after hearing this, Melina looked at Ju An's expression and smiled even more happily: "Come in quickly, I'll make you a cup of coffee, Dina won't come down for a while."
When Ju An entered the house, as soon as he sat on the sofa, a tall and serious white old man walked down from the upper floor, Ju An quickly stood up and thought that this was Dinah's German father, and sure enough, he heard Melina smile at the old man and said: "Marcos, this is Ann, come to pick up Dinah out."
The old man glanced at Ju An, then motioned for Ju An to sit down with his hand, and he also walked to the sofa and sat down, crossed his hands, put his elbows on his knees, looked at Ju An and said, "Young man, I heard that Dinah said that you are a ranch man, and what cattle or sheep are raised in the ranch."
Ju An nodded a little nervously and said, "Well, I have some cattle in my pasture, as well as a few sheep, geese and some poultry." Is this the beginning of the torture, Ju An originally thought that only Chinese parents would ask like this, foreigners are like on TV, looking at their daughter's boyfriend with an amiable face, who knew that it would be their turn to change here?
While she was pondering in her mind, Melina had already helped pour two cups of coffee and a plate of snacks, walked over with a tray, put one cup in front of Ju An, and handed the other cup to Marcos, Ju An quickly got up and took the coffee with both hands and said thank you. Putting the snacks on the table, Melina also sat down on the sofa next to her, and watched Ju An and Marcos chat with a smile, which made Ju An even more nervous.
Marcos nodded and said, "Do you know how to hunt?" What kind of gun do you like to hunt with, do you know how to fish?"
Ju An clutched the sweat in his palm and replied, "Now I use a Remington 700 rifle for hunting, and I usually use a Colt Eye King Snake revolver, fishing will not be very complicated, but it will be simple."
Just as Ju An finished answering, a big flower dog came in from outside the door, ran to Marcos's side and wagged his tail, Marcos affectionately touched the dog's head and asked Ju An: "What kind of cattle dog do you have in your ranch?"
"I have big dogs on my ranch, and I personally don't like small dogs," Ju An said crampedly.
Marcos nodded and said, "The dog should be bigger, and a dog that can be killed by a cat is not a dog at all."
Before Marcos's words could be finished, Dinah's voice was heard: "Dad, why do you keep asking people's questions?"
Marcos looked at Dinah, who was going downstairs, and a smile appeared on his face: "It's nothing, I'm just talking to this guy, we have a good conversation."
Ju An hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Yes, I had a good conversation with Mr. Marcos." When he finished speaking, he despised himself fiercely in his heart, and said nonsense with his eyes open.
Melina smiled next to her and said, "Marcos, you also said that you had a good conversation, if Ann sat a little longer, I think the young man will break out in a cold sweat."
"Back then, I went to your house, my father-in-law was majestic, I was far worse than his old man, and I was really chatting with the young man, I liked this young man very much" Marcos looked at the restrained Ju'an, and then a smile appeared on his face.
Looking at Dinah, who was wearing long black leather boots, black stockings, a dark brown corduroy tube skirt, a small brown vest over a white shirt, a long silky hair neatly wrapped behind her head by a bright belt, and a faint outfit painted on her face, when she walked down the stairs, Ju An's heart jumped irrepressibly, and she didn't even hear the conversation between Marcos and Melina very clearly, and paused slightly, and then immediately sat upright, ready to continue listening to the second elder's inquiry.
Dinah went downstairs and said to Marcos and Melina, "Dad, Mommy, then we'll go, we'll go to the movies in the evening, maybe we'll be back late".
When Juan heard Dinah's words, he immediately stood up and said goodbye to Marcos and Melina, and then walked towards the door, opened the door and waited for Dinah, Dinah picked up a short coat from the hanger, put it on his arm and walked out of the house, Juan just wanted to take the door, Marcos and Melina followed out of the house.
Helped Dina open the car door, and when Dinah was done in the co-pilot's seat and closed the door, Ju An walked to the other side and opened the door, got into the car, started the car, Ju An rolled down the window, waved his hand to the two people, and just wanted to turn around, Marcos's voice came: "Boy! Send Dinah back by eleven o'clock".
Ju An's hand slipped on the steering wheel, then he stuck his head out and said to Marcos, "Okay, Mr. Marcos." Then he turned around and drove out of Dinah's ranch, and as soon as he got out of the ranch, Juan breathed a sigh of relief.
Dinah looked at Ju An's expression and asked with a smile, "My dad didn't scare you, did he?"
"I'm a little scared, my palms were sweaty when I was talking to your father just now, and I'm still sweating on my hands," he said, and stretched out his hand to Dinah to look at it.
Dinah laughed twice and said, "Do you know, the father of the West, what he is best at, hunting, running a farm and scaring his daughter's boyfriend".
Ju An also laughed when he heard Dinah say this: "Then my performance just now can be regarded as good."
Dinah looked at Juan and said, "Just enough to pass, my father likes to do ranch work as a young man, and thinks this kind of work is a man's job, so he just asked you briefly, and he still thinks that my two sisters are married to two hippies."
Ju An asked strangely, "Then what does your brother-in-law do?"
Dinah replied, "Illustrator artist, illustrator for magazines or something, and advertising designer, my father didn't think it was a man's job, sissy".
Poof, Ju An smiled: "In this way, I still really took advantage." Said to be perfect for driving the car.
Dinah looked at Ju An, who was smiling: "My mother told us that when my father first went to see my grandfather, my grandfather asked a lot of questions, and at first his expression was serious, but then my father lowered his head and only sweated, and when he left my grandfather's house, he told my mother that he would let other children taste what it was like today when he had a daughter" After speaking, he covered his mouth and laughed.
Ju An also laughed when he heard this, and then said: "Then when we have a daughter, I will also scare and scare my daughter's boyfriend." Before he could finish speaking, he received a roll of Dinah's eyes.
Ju An chatted with Dinah, while driving for a while to the town, it seemed that time passed very fast, before I felt it, the thirty-minute journey was over, stopped at the door of a restaurant, the restaurants in the town are almost the same, after all, it is not a big city like New York, there is no luxury restaurant, it is an ordinary western restaurant, simple steak and lamb chops, two people ordered two steaks, and asked for a bottle of red wine, so they whispered while eating food.
After a simple dinner, the two of them went to the cinema in the town, and when Ju An saw that there were several films being staged, Ju An asked Dinah, "Which one do you want to see?" ”。
Dinah looked at the posters of several movies and said, "Let's go watch "Iron Fist", this is the latest, I haven't seen it yet, and the rest of "Puss in Boots" and "Smurfs" have already watched it, not very good."
Ju An nodded, then went to buy two tickets, and then bought two buckets of popcorn and two drinks in the theater, then took Dinah into the cinema, found a seat and sat down, Ju An looked around, basically one-on-one couples, because there were not many people in the screening hall, so everyone sat very open, there were about more than 200 seats in the entire screening hall, and the seats were sparse.
