After buying things, Ju An took Wang Fan to drive a car behind Lu Guangyuan and his wife's car, and went to their farm as a guest, and drove out of the Great Falls City for more than 20 minutes to their farm, which was still close to the city, and after leaving the city, the roadside was full of this kind of small family farm, and the houses were much denser than Ju'an's, and it was estimated that the area of the farm was not large, about one or two hundred acres.

Entering the gate of Lu Guangyuan's farm, I saw seven or eight greenhouses neatly arranged on both sides of the entrance, and at the end of the road was a two-story small wooden building, which was no big difference from the common houses here.

When they arrived at the door of the house, Ju An and Wang Fan just got out of the car, and as soon as they followed Lu Guangyuan to the door, an old Chinese man came out of the house, and the old man looked very happy when he saw Ju An and Wang Fan, stretched out his hand and said loudly with a smile: "Welcome!" Welcome" voice with a northerner crisp and loud voice.

Lu Guangyuan immediately introduced: "This is my father."

Ju An hurriedly held the old man's hand and said, "Thank you, old man, don't come out to greet you, we juniors can just go in by ourselves." Wang Fan also shook the old man's hand and said, "Yes, it's time for us to see you."

took Ju An and Wang Fan to the sofa in the living room and sat down, watching Chang Dongna make a pot of tea for everyone.

Ju'an went down a lot of the house, although the house is not as big as Ju'an's residence, but this Chinese style is still full of richness, there are a few calligraphy and paintings on one wall, and there are red Chinese knots, and the other wall is almost full of photos with Lao Mei, basically three boys' photos, from childhood to adulthood, the door of the house is also pasted with a bright red background of the golden big blessing word, there are also a few blue and white porcelain vases on the table, near the window, there is also a shelf, there is a parrot with bright feathers.

Wang Fan looked at the old man and said, "Your old body is strong, and your complexion looks good."

"I've been here for five years" The old man stretched out a palm, shook it in front of Ju An and Wang Fan's eyes, and said with a hearty smile: "I came to this place from China, and I don't have half an acquaintance, if I don't feed a horse and a bird every day, and I can help do some work, I'm afraid this old bone will be lost here."

Ju An said with a smile: "Aren't there some Chinese here, isn't there an old man to talk to?" ”。

Lu Guangyuan replied with a smile: "There are a few old people from China here, basically from the southern coast, my dad basically can't understand what he says, playing mahjong together, you know that you can't get some small color heads here, my dad thinks it's boring, and I'm not interested in seeing it a few times, if I can't raise a bird, get a flower, or something, if it's not too troublesome to go back, maybe I've thought about going back to China a long time ago."

Playing mahjong, Ju'an knows, in the United States, you play mahjong people don't care about you, if you come to money, then being caught is not a joke, you really have to eat a lawsuit, who you played, then who is more unlucky, fine and prison can not run, your crime is to open a private casino surname, definitely not the domestic arrest and detention for two days, the pain of the fine two small money can be compared, and the Chinese people play mahjong where there is no money, at least also get a small lottery, entertainment.

Ju An said with a smile: "My parents also came here some time ago, and they went back because they didn't like that there was no one to talk to."

The old man then said a little lonely: "Originally, I went back two years ago, but now I don't want to go back, I'm afraid of trouble."

Wang Fan and Ju An looked at Lu Guangyuan with some puzzlement, Lu Guangyuan said with a smile: "Back then, our family was poor among relatives, and relatives were reluctant to come and go, after I graduated from high school, I didn't have a job, and then I followed others to run Sino-Russian trade, we were the first batch, after making some money, everyone slowly came and went to get a little more, and then came here, when I returned to China, some relatives thought that you were rich, so they thought about this and that, and some wanted to send their children to the United States to study, let us take care of them, I don't agree, In case something happens to the child here, how can we explain it, some relatives will talk strangely, and my father is a little angry, except for my mother, he will not go back."

Ju'an can understand this, if it weren't for the poor conditions at home, in the last few years of the collapse of the Soviet Union, who would risk the danger and go to the Soviet Union to do business on his shoulders. Ju'an himself has also encountered this kind of promotion of Mien, fighting Mi hatred, that is when Ju'an was in junior high school, a distant cousin came to his father's place, Ju'an's father found him a job, worked for a while, couldn't stand it and ran back to tell the family that the work was tiring and hard, Ju'an's father didn't bother to help, the angry Ju'an dad didn't eat well for a few days, and he found a job for you with a smile, and finally there was a complaint.

The old man continued: "This heart decided to go back and bury with his wife in the past, and go back less at other times, this heart is settled, when the grandson was young, he watched his grandson busy every day, and now several grandchildren are older, and they are not around, so they have nothing to raise flowers, raise birds or something, but they are also at ease."

Ju An said with a smile: "Then the next time my parents come over, when you are old, you will go to my house for a few days, and it will be lively."

The old man was very happy when he heard it, and replied with a smile: "That's good, that's good, your accent is not too southern, maybe everyone's taste is about the same, listen to your little guy's words, it's a mouthful of capital accent." As he spoke, he pointed at Wang Fan.

Wang Fan said with a smile: "I grew up in the capital, and the taste of this meal is really similar."

Lu Guangyuan said with a smile: "That's really a fellow countryman, but we are in the suburbs, not in the capital."

Ju An looked at the photos on the wall and said to the old man: "These are your grandchildren, looking at them all full of energy."

Lu Guangyuan said with a smile: "The eldest is now in college in other places, and the second and third are in high school, so they won't come to eat at noon, and usually the three of us eat at noon."

When he mentioned his grandson, the old man's eyes immediately narrowed into a line with a smile: "The eldest grandson is good, what is the M and what T in the United States is a first-class university in the United States."

Juan said, "Mit? It's a really first-class university, not just in the United States, it's a first-class science and engineering university in the world." MIT is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, one of the best polytechnics in the world, and everyone on earth knows that it is difficult to get in.

Wang Fan also praised: "MIT is really amazing."

The old man immediately followed and said, "Yes! Right! That's the mit." With a look of smugness on his face, he was much more proud than Ju'an Wang Fan praised him for his good body and bones just now.

Lu Guangyuan said: "The boss's grades are very good, the second and third are also good, this is to enter the old American university, not only to look at the grades, but also to look at other sports, what aspects, and even what volunteers you have done." This Ju An knows that it should be in college, Ju An once studied TOEFL with his girlfriend for a period of time, and knows that basically more than half of the top students in the American college entrance examination are rejected by Harvard and other prestigious schools every year. At the same time, it will also take into account the student's race, family education, brokerage situation, etc., so there are often cases in the United States where children with first-class grades go to second-rate universities, and children with second-rate grades go to first-class universities.

followed Lu Guangyuan and said: "When I first came here, it was really not easy to send a child to school."

Wang Fan asked: "If you don't know how to speak English, the school won't accept it?" ”。

Lu Guangyuan explained: "It's not this, as long as you live in this area, whether you have American citizenship or a green card, the school will accept it, that is, the teacher will often write to you, or ask you to talk about the situation of the child, and from time to time I want to talk to you, and we have three children going to school at the same time, then you will know."

Wang Fan said with a smile: "That's not bad, there are more opportunities for communication, and the child's situation is clearer."

Lu Guangyuan said with a smile: "At the beginning, our husband and wife just learned English, and they were still in class, and their children were also in class, and in the end, English was not as good as the children at that time, and there were a lot of jokes, but it was not easy to be a teacher in the United States, and the salary was not too high, and in winter, many schools would hold a donation meeting, and when they donated a certain amount, the teacher would dive, and the winter here was minus ten or twenty degrees. At that time, the lake was full of students from various schools."

Ju An smiled and said: "Lao Mei also has a donation show."

Lu Guangyuan replied: "Last year, my youngest son's teacher said to them, don't donate too much, it's too cold, but these children are bad, the children donate their own money, what to watch the children for others, help parents wash the car, do housework or something, we are not used to it, let the children do some housework, and then give remuneration, and then found that it is good, and it is adopted, every time the children donate three or four five or six yuan, just want to watch the teacher jump up in the winter, every year, parents and students go to see it together, lively it." ”。

Neither Wang Fan nor Ju An had heard of this, Wang Fan nodded happily and said, "That's really fun, I'll come and see it when I have time this year."

Lu Guangyuan followed the suggestion: "Actually, Halloween and Christmas are more interesting, if you like shopping, many stores at Easter are half price or even lower, you can sell what you like at that time, at that time it is more cost-effective to buy famous brands, my wife often takes advantage of the Easter discount to buy some domestic more famous brand children's clothes to send to her little nephews, the children like it, and it is much cheaper than in China."
