After waiting for two days, the domestic tour group arrived, and when the tour group arrived at Taylor's ranch, the little girl from the tour guide called and asked Ju An to come over and get back the things Wu Ming brought.

Ju An looked over, the good guy had a whole travel suitcase, and saw that the little girl had to carry such a big box of things for herself in addition to her own big box of clothes, and said to the little girl: "Wu Ming actually brought me so many things, it is too troublesome for you, thank you."

The little girl smiled and said: "It's okay, we Mr. Wu said, I don't know which ones fit your appetite, so the things he can think of, as well as the ones that are easy to find in Jiangnan, have found some for you, according to your requirements, they are all dozens of things, and Mr. Wu asked you to buckle them, and Mr. Wang has some things to look for you."

Ju An said with a smile: "You three or four people are still always in charge, and Wu Ming doesn't dislike trouble."

"We recruited a few more people this month, and now the company is not the three of us, but now there are eight people, and I am also an old employee," the little girl said happily.

Ju An said in surprise: "Recruiting again? Business isn't bad."

"Yes, the first tour group everyone had a good time, and the group members who went back to the room and board were very satisfied, the boss of the company that Mr. Wang knew, and organized the second batch of groups to come, and now the individual tourists have also organized a group, is getting a visa, Mr. Wang also got us a red envelope" The little girl laughed, and there was a shallow dimple at the corner of her mouth.

Ju An smiled and joked to the little girl: "Then you two are also elders."

"Here's my business card, show you," the little girl pulled out a card from her pocket and handed it to Ju An.

Ju An took the business card and looked at it, it said, Xia Xiaolan, business manager, the whole business card design is still full of simple and generous Chinese on the other side, and English on the other.

"You've been promoted," Ju An quipped.

Xia Xiaolan said happily: "Only the two of us are managers, and the new ones in the company are business assistants."

After arguing with the little girl for a while, Ju An took the suitcase, put it in the car, and drove back to his ranch.

I took the box home, opened it and saw that there were really a lot of things, small objects in the south of the Yangtze River, what a big Fu, purple clay pots and the like, among which I also got three or four Peking Opera masks, as well as a few Chinese paintings, calligraphy and other things, and the rest of the silk scarves printed with dragons and phoenixes brought several.

I rummaged through the things in the box a few times, but I haven't decided what to give, as Dinah's gift, Ju An looked at the silk scarf, the face mask, the big Ah Fu and the like are all suitable for girls, scratched his head, and finally closed his eyes and pointed casually, opened his eyes and saw that it was a red Peking Opera mask, okay, it's you.

On the day of the party, Ju An was busy with the work at hand, so he drove into the town with Peking Opera masks, and also selected greeting cards, came out of the store, Ju An's head was rounded, good guys, there are really a lot of cards in it, what to send to parents, to send friends, to say, and the kind of housewarming joy in China, etc., ordinary, electronic, and all kinds of folding and pulling, anyway, whether you want to or not, the old American businessman has thought of everything, and once you enter, it is simply a sea of greeting cards, and I swam in the sea of greeting cards for a long time, made the head as big as a cow, and finally with the help of the waiter, I picked an ordinary greeting card, and it cost my uncle three US dollars to Ju'an, of course, the merchant's price is 2.99. Then under the introduction of the waiter, I paid, and then went to the service desk, helped pack the face mask, packaged it, and gave a beautiful handbag, of course, there is no free lunch in the world, these Ju'an are paid for the shining ocean.

After changing clothes, I actually changed my checkered shirt to a white shirt, jeans to casual dark trousers, and black leather shoes. At almost 5:50 in the evening, Ju An set off from the ranch, which was reminded by Nancy, saying that if you don't know how many people the host invited, it is best to arrive a little later, more than half an hour late, and tell Ju An that this is called fashionablylate in English.

Following the route provided by Dinah, Juan drove for nearly forty minutes before arriving at the intersection of Dinah's farm, and Juan learned from Lily that Dinah's farm mainly grows pasture grass and produces green fodder for sheep and cattle.

When I arrived at the intersection of the farm, I saw a big snow-white sign, with the name of Dinah's farm written on it, and a small arrow, indicating the direction, and after driving for a few minutes along the small arrow, a white gate appeared in front of me, looking at the name on the gate, Ju'an knew that he had arrived at the place. After driving a short distance, more than a dozen buildings, large and small, appeared in front of Ju'an's eyes.

Under the guidance of an aunt, Ju An parked the car in an open space next to the house, on which there were already four or five cars parked, with gift bags, Ju An just got out of the car and heard the aunt who led the way just now smiled and said: "You are Ann, I am Dinah's mother Melina, I heard Dinah say that you are the first Chinese friend she knows, I hope you have a good time tonight."

When Ju An heard this, he hurriedly said, "Thank you."

Melina pointed to a small white wooden building and said, "The party is going on there, some friends have already come, you can go inside."

Entering the house, Ju An found that the layout inside was very good, the walls were painted blue, and there were a lot of balloons hanging around, there were already seven or eight people in the venue, chatting in groups of two or three, seeing Ju An come in, everyone took a look, and continued to chat, Dinah saw Ju An come in, and greeted him warmly: "An, welcome to my birthday party."

Ju An handed the bag in his hand to Dinah and said, "Dinah, life is happy."

Dinah said thank you, then opened the gift, and when she saw a Peking Opera mask, and there was a back plate to hang on the wall, she said happily: "Thank you, I really like it, I have seen it on TV, and this is a kind of Chinese opera."

As soon as Ju An heard the opera, he explained: "It is a kind of Chinese drama, and you can see whether the protagonist is good or bad from these oil paints painted on his face, and I don't know the specifics, I rarely watch opera myself," Ju An said, spreading his hands.

Dinah smiled and said, "Just like a lot of our young people don't like opera? ”。

"I guess it's about the same," Ju An said, nodding.

Dinah led Ju An into the house, introduced the two people to Ju An, and walked away to take care of the rest of the guests, followed the two people who had just met and chatted for a while, only to see Lily and Reese walk in with a handsome young man, Dinah and Lily, Reese hugged respectively, and after Dinah received the gift, Ju An said sorry to the two people he just met, and walked over.

Lily saw it, came over to Ju An, greeted Ju An warmly, and then introduced: "This is Tom, my sister's boyfriend, Tom, this is Ann, I mentioned it to you."

After shaking Tom's hand, we walked to the table, picked up the drink, stepped aside, and chatted, and after a while, Tom took Reese to say sorry and went to say hello.

Lily said to Ju An, "The first time you came to the birth party? ”。

"How do you know?" said Ju An, curiously.

Lily glanced at Ju An and said with a smile: "Looking at you a little uncomfortable, in fact, to participate in the party is to be happy, to know more friends, in fact, it is very simple to communicate with people, you walk over and say hello, and then start chatting, what weather, what do you like, ball games and so on." You have to know that you are not the only one who is eager to communicate with others, everyone is like this, you will relax a lot when you think about it like this, is it no, you can drink some wine, and then remember to find a simpler person to start, every party will have someone alone with a wine glass in the corner to watch, in fact, they have the same thing in their hearts, so you go to talk to him, the first time you may feel very uncomfortable, very abrupt, but after a few times, you will get used to it, so that you can improve your level of dealing with strangers" 。

Ju An looked at Lily, who was talking endlessly and tirelessly, and laughed: "Thank you, I know, why do you come alone, don't you have a boyfriend?"

"I'm single now, and I'm not going to find a boyfriend anytime soon, I'm going to go to college in the east later, and I don't have time," Lily said.

Ju An said strangely: "Go to college? ”。

Lily said proudly: "I have transferred from community college to state university this year, you know, many state universities now do not allow community college transfer, the competition is fierce, and I did it."

Ju An immediately raised the wine glass in his hand: "Lily is so amazing!" ”。 After saying that, he touched the wine glass in Lily's hand. At this time, dinner was set on the long table, and Dinah beckoned everyone to take a seat, and then they ate dinner, and everyone at the table talked enthusiastically, and everyone thought it was interesting things, such as who made a fool of himself in the election, Juan just listened with his ears.

After dinner, it is the time for Ju An to eat raw cakes, the two-layer chocolate cake was placed on the table, and then the candles were lit, and everyone began to sing the sheng song together, Ju An just wanted to open his mouth to sing, I wish you a happy life, who knows that the foreigner sings this song at all, Ju An had to scold secretly, your uncle, listening to others sing the sheng song, mixed a cake, and then it was time to dance, a group of young foreigners began to twist their bodies.

After twisting with Lily a few times, Ju An found a place to sit down, took a bottle of Coke and drank it, and after a while, Dinah came over: "An, why don't you dance."

Juan replied, "I'm not very good at dancing, I prefer to be quiet."

Dinah said, "I don't like to be noisy either, so let's go out and talk."

Walking outside the house with Dinah, Juan suddenly felt much more relaxed, and said to Dinah, "Why do so many people like to party?"

Then I listened to Dinah talk about why young people are keen on parties, in Dinah's words, some people like to be lively, some people like to meet different surnames at parties, and then do something else through wine, such as hugging beauties, and some people attending parties to expand their social circle.

After a while, Juan took his leave and left the party, and Dinah thanked Juan again for the gift.
