After Governor Bryan's routine handshake and questioning, the buffet was over, and everyone went straight to the auction hall. The auction process is very harmonious, everyone you 30,000 and I 50,000 each buy back their own gifts - many things have not been sent in kind, just write a note and write a check afterwards.

If you come here, your family is worth tens of millions of dollars, and you won't ruin your reputation for this money. Besides, the amount of money donated in charity auctions is tax-deductible, in a sense, everyone has bought a good reputation without spending money.

Governor Bryan, who has raised more than two million donations, said the money will be used to buy firewood to help homeless and poor families stay warm in the winter. The donation is earmarked, and each donor is part of a supervisory committee that can be audited at any time to ensure that the money is used for the winter in the destitute.

Why do you want to buy firewood, because there are only four ways to heat in the United States: electric heating, oil heating, gas heating, and firewood heating. The homeless do not have a home in the first place, electric heating and gas heating is not feasible, if the oil is used, it is very easy to burn or even explode, and it is naturally impossible to send a large number of homeless people to spend the winter, although firewood heating is not the most economical way, but it is indeed the safest and feasible way.

Firewood is not used in industrial construction, and wood itself is not a non-renewable resource, and the growth cycle is not particularly long.

These firewood will be placed in some relief points for homeless people in various places, along with free food, donated old clothes and blankets, etc., and it can be said that if there is no alcohol or drug abuse, the life of the homeless in the United States is still passable. In winter, there are also police cars, police officers with 24-hour security (surveillance) at the gathering point of the homeless.

Return to Reno from Carson City. As she passed by the neighborhood of Mexican-American, Angelina in the passenger seat stopped talking. Zhang Cheng naturally understood what Angelina was thinking, according to the Chinese saying, it is normal for people to return home.

Immediately, Zhang Cheng turned the head of the car, and the sports car drove into the Mexican-American community, Angelina opened her mouth and said, "Thank you." ”

Zhang Cheng smiled: "What else do we thank for." If you have anything you want, you can say it, and for me money can solve it. ”

Angelina obediently agreed: "Well, I know." ”

The sports car stopped in front of Angelina's house and honked its horn a few times, and Angelina's younger brother came out to open the door and the sports car drove into the yard.

Angelina got out of the car, and the family who wanted to come up and hug Angelina was stunned. Unexpectedly, the bejeweled beauty in a low-cut dress in front of them turned out to be their family. Angelina's sister can't help but think of the story of Cinderella when she sees her sister now. That's probably what Cinderella looked like after she became a princess.

Angelina didn't have a share with her family, and hugged her family members who hadn't seen each other for several months one by one and then went into the house with Zhang Cheng and sat down.

For Zhang Cheng, Angelina's home has not changed much from before, and some changes are a new sofa, a new LCD TV and a new washing machine. That's all there is to see on the surface. Think about it too. A slightly better mid-range car in the United States will cost $30,000 or 40,000. Twenty thousand dollars is just a tire in the yard of Zhang Cheng Bugatti Weihang can buy many things.

After entering the house and sitting down, Angelina's family asked Angelina what she was doing lately, and in their opinion, Angelina looked like this today, and how she looked at it was the level of a Hollywood movie star. This young Chinese man is just another Chinese director who has broken into Hollywood.

Angelina smiled and said to her family, "I didn't go to the movie." When I'm at home, I share some of the housework, but I spend more time exercising and watching TV, occasionally shopping on the street or online, and going to the village farm on horseback to hunt on holidays.

Today we attended a charity auction in Nevada to dress so formally, at home I usually dress very casually, today it is rare to wear so beautiful, I also want to go home and let everyone see. ”

Although the family feels that it is a pity that Angelina did not become a movie star, it seems that Angelina has entered the life of high society, and it is a charity and a farm, and the American dream is nothing more than that.

If Zhang Cheng had known that Lu Dao was coming, he would definitely prepare some gifts, we are a state of etiquette, how can anyone come to the door empty-handed. But it doesn't seem to be a problem, it's discounted.

Zhang Cheng took out a thick envelope from his pocket - although the personal check was also very useful, it was still cash that looked more impactful.

Zhang Cheng pushed the extra-thick envelope from the coffee table to Angelina's parents: "I don't know what Lu Dao lacks at home, so I didn't prepare a gift." I have some cash on hand, so let's discount it. ”

Angelina's parents glanced at each other, looking at the thickness of the envelope in front of them, if it was a hundred yuan bill, how could it be fifty or sixty thousand dollars, Angelina's boyfriend was so generous. Most white-collar workers in the United States earn a salary of 50,000 or 60,000 US dollars a year, and this kind of income is called the fledgling middle class in the United States.

Since their daughters are all from other people's homes, Angelina's parents will accept the money with peace of mind, and when Zhang Cheng and Angelina leave, they will count it as 66,000 US dollars. Zhang Cheng's acquisition means six or six shuns, and Angelina's parents only thought that this was Zhang Cheng's lucky number.

Zhang Cheng drove back, Ye Zi, sister-in-law, and Stephanie were watching the news at home bored, and that's what happened after watching too much American news. In addition to the real-time news gossip entertainment in various places, the general content is that the president, the first lady, and the secretary of state are very busy, the American people are living very happily, and the people of Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe are still living in the water and fire - for Zhang Chengye, there is a very strong sense of immediacy.

When Zhang Cheng and Angelina came back, in recent months, the aunt, who had obviously seen her young and now looked like Sister Ye, said to Zhang Cheng: "Brother-in-law, the day after tomorrow at noon, the family will hold a barbecue party in the courtyard to entertain the neighbors around." ”

According to the tradition in the United States, when the family moves in, they get acquainted with the neighbors around them, and usually have a dinner party in the yard to entertain the neighbors and get to know everyone - there is no room for so many people in the house.

In the past, when I rented a working community, my aunt Yezi had less communication with the neighbors around her, and she didn't know the tradition of Taoism. Now my aunt doesn't go to work, and occasionally goes to the community to volunteer, and I get to know some American housewives before I realize that there is such a thing.

My aunt thought that since it is a tradition, let's follow the tradition, isn't there a saying about moving to a new home in China? Although the time is a little late, it is better than nothing. My aunt picked a Sunday, contacted the neighbors who already knew her in advance, and prepared drinks and ingredients and grill charcoal a day in advance - the courtyard barbecue party was all about doing it yourself, baking and eating by yourself.

Zhang Cheng doesn't know these neighbors very well, and he doesn't think there is anything delicious about barbecue, so it is better to go to Las Vegas with Catherine Stephanie to be a gambler, Catherine and Stephanie have admired Las Vegas for a long time, and they can't wait to play a female God of Gamblers vs. Las Vegas. Zhang Cheng asked casually: "Well, I know that I won't come to do anything." ”

The sister-in-law said: "Well, no problem, just have Ye Zi to help when the time comes." ”

Ye Zi can't run away, she is the owner of the house, and she was decisively arrested this time.

Zhang Cheng: "That's good, Stephanie Catherine and I will go to Las Vegas tomorrow." (To be continued......)
