Chapter Twenty-Three: Classmates Get Together
Pack up your bags, prepare to go back to China to pick up your parents and sister and brother-in-law to live for a while, they are out of such a far door for the first time, Ju'an is a little uneasy, and brother-in-law and sister's English is not flattering, it sounds like a book from heaven, overall consideration Ju'an still decided this time, to pick them up by themselves, let them be familiar with it, next time it will be much more convenient, and they will bring a few Chinese pastoral dogs when they go back this time, continue to come to the United States to promote Chinese famous dogs, and make a few litters of small local chickens to eat, this foreign rooster looks big, when you eat it in your mouth, it tastes like chewing wax, and it doesn't mean anything at all. As for the other little things that are being added, I'll see for myself when the time comes.
Before leaving, Juan instructed Thomas to buy another 2,000 head of cattle, and the sheep would occupy so much time, and after a month, the cubs would be enough for the pasture to eat by himself, and he was buying more than a dozen horses. These were also suggested by the elder Thomas, who thought that it would be a waste to raise only so many cattle for such a good pasture, and the utilization rate of the entire pasture was less than one-tenth. Forty-five stables only raised ten horses, this time the horses were expanded to half, as for the matter of finding manpower, old Thomas also mentioned that his eldest son Andrew can also come over, his current ranch is sluggish, thinking of Ju'an's ranch, so that the manpower is basically enough, Juan thought about it, Thomas and Wynne gave Ju'an a good impression, they are all people who can't be idle, it is estimated that this Anderson should also be good, so he nodded and agreed.
A few days earlier, Ju An left a note on the detention, mentioning that he would return to China in two days. Some classmates in Jiangnan are going to hold a small reception banquet to get together under this name.
After flying for more than ten hours to the capital, Ju'an did not stay in the capital, bought a ticket and flew directly to Jiangnan, originally planned to visit the capital this time, but after getting off the plane, I felt that it was not much fun, but I missed my hometown more.
When I went to Jiangnan to find a hotel to live in, this time Ju'an chose the Jiangnan Hotel, a five-star hotel invested by overseas Chinese in the place of reform and opening up, which was a national sensation at the time, but now it is inconspicuous among the high-rise buildings around it. The height of the large hotels built around the four weeks far exceeds the height of this former Jiangnan symbol.
Although now Jiangnan Hotel is not the tallest building in Jiangnan, but many people choose five-star hotels, Jiangnan Hotel is still one of the best choices, when I used to go to school and work in Jiangnan, I have also thought countless times that one day, I can live here, at that time I heard that a breakfast here will cost hundreds of soft girls, and I smacked my tongue when I lived in An.
More than 2,000 soft girls a night is a drizzle for the current Ju'an.
After settling down, he took a nap for an hour and fell to jet lag, and when he got up, he hung up the phone to his college classmate Wu Ming to inform him that he had arrived.
As soon as Wu Ming heard Ju An's voice: "Good boy, I'm waiting for your call, I'll inform everyone, then tonight, it's Friday."
"Okay, tell me where you set a place," Ju An replied.
Wu Ming paused and said: "Anzi, that Qi Yan and his wife are also working in Jiangnan now, you have no problem, if you don't want to see her, then we won't notify."
Qi Yan, who hadn't heard the name of the university that fascinated him for a few years, paused and said: "Notice, it's all classmates, it's not good if you don't notify here."
"Okay, I'll inform them, you go to sleep first" Wu Ming said briefly and hung up the phone.
Ju An put down the phone and Qi Yan, the girl he loved in his four years of college. Sophomore year began to fall in love, mixed until graduation, every day to fetch water, food in the three years, there have been quarrels but more sweet, just like most college couples, when graduating, Ju An chose Jiangnan, thinking that it was closer to home, Qi Yan chose the south, and wanted to break through by himself, first a phone call every day, and then a breakup call every week, and the last month, this relationship was over.
Now Ju An thinks about it, maybe the beginning of this relationship means that there is no result, Ju An's surname is good to say that it is stable, and if it is not good, it is not self-motivated, since he graduated, he stayed in a small foreign trade for four years, in which the salary has not been long, it can be seen. And Qi Yaneng's surname is relatively strong, full of enthusiasm, and he has won scholarships every year for four years in college, and Ju An is 60 years long live for each course. Although they have been in love for more than three years, they have not crossed the minefield, not because Ju'an doesn't want to, but because Qi Yan is very conservative on this point.
Thinking of this, Ju An suddenly smiled and said to himself, let's go over the past.
At this moment, the bedside phone suddenly thought about it, and picked up the phone: "Hello, who one?" ”。
A familiar voice came from the phone, "Liuzi, it's me, Wang Fan."
"Damn, third child, I know it's you," Ju An said happily.
Wang Fan asked, "You kid, where are you now?" I went to look for you, and I just received a call from the fourth child, saying that you have arrived, and my brother will go to watch you Yankee first."
Ju An reported the current room number and asked him to come up directly.
As soon as he finished reporting the number, he heard Wang Fan's answer that he would be there immediately, so he hung up the phone.
Over the years, the third child's anxious temper has not changed, and before he finished speaking, he hung up the phone with a roar, shook his head and hung up the phone, sat on the bed, turned on the TV, and pressed the remote control aimlessly.
After more than half an hour, there was a knock on the door, Ju An opened the door and saw that the man in the plaid shirt standing at the door was not the third Wang Fan.
"Good boy, this is really developed, I live in the Jiangnan Hotel" Wang Fan immediately gave Ju An a big bear hug.
Ju An hugged Wang Fan hard: "I said the third child, can you change this taste, every summer is a plaid shirt, jeans, and sunglasses, just like the old ladyboy who came to the mainland of the motherland in the early stage of reform and opening up in the old movie."
"Damn, this is my brother's taste, how do you understand today's fashion, retro do you understand" Wang Fan stretched out his hand to grab Ju'an's underneath.
Ju An hurriedly guarded the vital point.
Closing the door, the brothers entered the room on both sides, Ju An took out a can of Coke from the refrigerator and threw it to Wang Fan, and opened the can himself.
Wang Fan looked around: "Damn, it's really good, it's really five-star."
"Don't talk nonsense, how can you say that you kid is also a civil servant, so much salary, and he is mixed in the provincial Taiwan, can he still be here before" Ju An glanced at Wang Fan.
"I've been here a few times, but I haven't lived, my home is in Jiangnan City, where is the use of coming here to live" Wang Fan said with a smile: "However, I decided to live here tonight, let's have a good chat."
"Welcome, welcome, I'm bored by myself anyway," Ju An said with a smile.
"By the way, Qi Yan and they will also come over tonight, I annoy her husband, she doesn't smile all day long, the fourth said you let me tell?" Wang Fan asked.
"Well, what I told the fourth child is that they are all classmates, don't be so stiff," Ju An replied with a smile.
Wang Fan poured Cola: "If you have no problem, I will have no problem."
Next, the two brothers talked for nearly an hour and went out.
Sitting on Wang Fan's Audi A4, Ju An came, the place of the party, the South American barbecue buffet next to the Bell Tower Square, when Ju An and Wang Fan arrived, the fourth Wu Ming had already arrived, as well as Wang Jingjing and Li Yuanshan in the same class, and Qi Yan, next to Qi Yan sat a slightly fat man, who should be tall, with a Chinese-shaped face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, not to mention very handsome, but definitely a little handsome, it is estimated that it is Qi Yan's husband.
After saying hello in the past, Wang Fan and Ju An pulled a chair and sat down, and then Qi Yan introduced: "This is my husband, Chen Jianguo, these are my classmates, you have seen the rest, this is Ju An."
Ju An stretched out his hand and shook hands with Chen Jianguo.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Li Na and Qian Feng, the young couple, arrived, and they were the only couple in the class who insisted on getting married in college, and they were doing very well.
Now that everyone had arrived, everyone picked up their plates and went to choose their own dishes, and when they had chosen the dishes, everyone ate and chatted.
Wang Fan noticed that Ju An only chose some vegetables, the most was cauliflower, and sandwiched most of the plates, so he asked: "You kid, I remember that I used to like to eat meat the most, why are they all vegetarian dishes today, and if you want to eat the buffet, you can eat the most expensive ones, don't you see that my brother is shrimp and meat?"
When everyone heard Wang Fan say this, they all stared curiously at Ju'an's large plate of cauliflower.
Ju An said: "No, during this time, I always eat beef, mutton, a little greasy, tomatoes and everything, just cauliflower, I don't grow much there, I just want to eat when I see it."
Li Na said with a smile: "Ju An is going to the United States to eat beef every day, pity us who eat rice in China, by the way, I saw the photos in your space, all from your ranch?" ”。
Clamped a cauliflower and put it in his mouth: "Well, it's all filmed in my pasture, just started, my own cattle and sheep can't eat yet, waiting for the cubs, when you can eat, you come over to play, nothing else can be guaranteed, accompany the food, accompany the chat, of course, Qian Feng doesn't mind, I can also provide a complete three escorts."
Qian Feng said with a smile: "you, is it to find a draw."
Wu Ming said: "I just heard that Boss Ji Qing said that the ticket will be taken care of by himself, and when I am free, I will go to your place to play."
"Wu Ming, when are you going to go, let us know when the time comes, Qian Feng and I haven't taken annual leave yet, we will be companions together when the time comes, it's so beautiful to see the photos" Li Na said.
Wang Jing said depressedly: "Hey, my annual leave has run out, it seems that I can't go this year, only next year."
"Damn, you didn't say it earlier, I just took ten days off last month, and I can't go today, and if I want to go, it will be New Year's Day at the earliest" Li Yuanshan muttered with his head buried in a big chicken leg and muttered.
"I know that pastures in the United States are generally quite large, and many of our people there have gone to Australia to buy farms over the years, thousands of acres of land, which is very cheap," Chen Jianguo asked.
Ju An smiled and replied: "The United States is also full of cheap, agricultural taxes in developed countries are generally very small, I know that some American states basically do not charge state taxes, and agricultural taxes are also very low, like Montana, where I am staying now, there is no state tax, and the local tax is only three percent, and it is actually good to invest in agriculture abroad."
