Chapter 725: Square Dancing
Zhen Fan walked towards the location he sensed in the community. At this time in the yard, it is the time for some old ladies and old men to participate in the park to consume food, there are a few people in the community who are invited to play tai chi, there are three or four people who are walking in the garden, there are a few people who are sitting and chatting with cups and drinking tea, and there are a group of old ladies who are dancing with music and square dancing.
Zhen Fan was sitting on the stone bench of the stone table, there were two old men playing chess on the stone bench, and a group of onlookers stood next to him, and Zhen Fan was annihilated by the crowd inside. He grinned as he watched the two old men arguing over chess. This feeling is more comfortable, and this kind of life is original.
ββ¦β¦ You are my little little apple......" The square dance is the recently very popular Divine Comedy "Little Apple", the old ladies dance vigorously, but there are old men complaining next to them, saying that it is too loud, in fact, the noise of watching people play chess is not small.
At this time, there were two old men next to him, one was pulling the erhu, and the other was singing Peking Opera, but because the old ladies were playing music too loudly, they sang a few words, and they couldn't sing anymore, and an old man rushed to the old lady's team, and without saying a word, he pressed the switch on the stereo.
The voice stopped abruptly, the old ladies were happy, and suddenly there was no music, just like the drug to the most high, suddenly sober, really up and down, people angry, the spearhead was aimed at the old man who rushed over, a little rich old lady who seemed to be the leader came over, and frowned coldly at the old man.
"What's the matter with you? Which psychiatric hospital escaped, right? "The old lady hurts when she says it. So a commotion began, and the old ladies gathered around. You and I said a word, and you still pushed and shoved at the old man, and the old man was quickly defeated. Gray pulled the wolf who pulled the erhu bèi and fled.
Zhen Fan had already squeezed out the crowd watching chess at this time, and watched the scene of the group of old ladies besieging the old man, and then he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, because in this group of old ladies, he actually found that very familiar figure, Christine actually mixed in the old ladies' dance troupe, and actually participated in the battle to besiege the old man.
"Hi. Honey, you're here too? Christine smiled at Zhen Fan, "It's so interesting." I think I've loved it so much, it's so much fun! She repeated the phrase "so interesting", and it was clear that it did make her feel some joy.
"You like this environment?" Zhen Fan was stunned. Look at Christine. Said tentatively, "I think it's better to wait until we're old and then mingle in here, or ...... After a few decades, we will come back and settle down? β
"It's nice to live here now! They are very friendly, very welcoming, I like it, and they are very human. Christine grinned, indeed. It's a lot more human than its neighbors in the United States. No one in the United States will come out like this every day. Dancing, playing chess, or even arguing together. They are often independent as a family, and they rarely interact with each other, and there are relatively few guys like Zhen Fan. And the old people in the United States are even more miserable, often two old people or a lonely life, and they are afraid that no one will find out when they die. Where can there be such joy?
"Okay, though...... Can we go home for dinner and come back? Zhen Fan spread his hands helplessly.
"Young man, this is your daughter-in-law, right?" An old lady came over and talked to Zhen Fan with a smile, it can be seen that they like Christine very much, it is really because there are no foreigners who dance square dances, and they are such beautiful young foreigners who come to square dance, which is equivalent to justifying the name of square dance!
Now square dancing has almost become synonymous with old ladies for disrespect for the old, it's not easy, how can you let Christine come every day, and then spread the influence, or find someone to take pictures for people to see, this square dance is the quintessence of China, even foreigners like it so much.
"Sort of!" Zhen Fan replied to her with a smile.
"Young man, what are you talking about? Yes, how can it be? You don't respect women! "The old lady is not reluctant, she really has a good impression of Christine, and it is not simply because she is a foreigner, she has come to China to support the square dance career of Chinese old ladies, and more importantly, this foreigner girl is beautiful, and she can speak a few words of Chinese, she can communicate simply, she is quite easy-going and amiable, and she is very polite!
So Christine got the support of the old ladies all the time. Christine understood a little, tilted her head towards Zhen Fan a little proudly, and crossed her waist with one hand, which means that I have a helper, and I will have a greater say in the future.
"No, we're engaged!" Zhen Fan hurriedly explained that he couldn't argue with the old ladies.
"The engagement is also a fiancΓ©e, this matter is decided, why can't it be counted?" The old lady didn't give up, "I said young man, such a beautiful foreign daughter-in-law, you can't be careful, this man, you can't be rich, if you have money, it will become bad, look at you like this, a little money, right?" Don't empathize, don't fall in love......"
How can this be related to the heart of money? Zhen Fan couldn't help crying and laughing: "Yes, auntie, my daughter-in-law is just this one, I just came to ask her to go home for dinner!" β
"Uh...... You...... Aren't you that Zhen Fan? I know you, it's you, star! Suddenly, an old man who came over looked left and right at Zhen Fan, and then looked at Christine and shouted, as if he had discovered an alien. His voice suddenly stunned those old ladies.
"Oops...... Really, how can I ...... with these eyes? Alas, big star, your daughter-in-law is also a star, right? is really so good-looking, no wonder, he can also dance square dance, at this time, a few old men raised their mobile phones to take pictures of Zhen Fan and Christine.
"Big star, dance with us again, give us publicity!" An old lady shouted at Christine. Immediately, the old ladies began to invite Christine in a gossiping manner.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, let's eat first, and I'll dance with you when we have time later!" Zhen Fan took Christine's hand and hurriedly squeezed out of the encirclement of the old ladies and old men.
Christine laughed and entered the room with Zhen Fan, Christine sat on the sofa and kept laughing, a little unsatisfied, and then pointed at Zhen Fan and rubbed her stomach, "I didn't expect you to be scared!" β
"Don't be afraid, no, they're treasures now!" Zhen Fan smiled.
"It's so interesting, I love it. You Chinese ladies are really interesting, I really like it, why don't we settle here, or we come back and live for a period of time every year, three months, five months? Christine said with a smile.
"Are you serious?" Zhen Fan couldn't help but shake his head, "You still have a sense of freshness now, after the freshness has passed, you won't think like this, by the way, I bought a ranch in Montana, after the past, we can go there for a vacation, the scenery there is very good, we can go there when we are old!" β
"Montana? Where did you buy a ranch? Christine looked at Zhen Fan in surprise.
"Yes, yes, because I refine the scenery there, and I have some of my friends there, and when we get back from China, we can go there for a vacation!" Zhen Fan then told Christine how he met the people in Lecce Town and the process of buying the ranch.
"Alright, dinner is here!" At this time, Melissa said loudly in the restaurant and greeted the two, "Try my craft, this is my first time cooking Chinese food." β
The first time she made Chinese food, Christine frowned after taking a bite, she looked at Zhen Fan, only to see that he looked as usual, eating the vegetables one bite at a time, and couldn't help but wonder if she had tasted the wrong taste, so she picked it up and tasted it again, this bite was a bit big.
"Poof-" She spit out the food in her mouth, then rinsed her mouth with a glass of water, and looked at Zhen Fan frowning, "How can you eat it?" Can't you feel ...... at all," she said, looking at Melissa again, and said no more.
Melissa, who was enjoying Zhen Fan and Christine eating, looked at Zhen Fan's appearance and was a little proud, but looking at Christine's appearance, she couldn't help but be a little puzzled, she tried to hold a chopstick dish with chopsticks, put it in her mouth, and couldn't help it, squirted out, and quickly rinsed her mouth with a water cup.
"Why is it so unpalatable!" Melissa looked at Zhen Fan, "Don't you think it's unpalatable?" β
"It feels good, it's not as good as the noodles you make, but it's always better than the noodles!" Zhen Fan put down his chopsticks as he spoke, and smiled at Melissa, "There are always some problems the first time, but I am complimenting you, keep working hard!" He said again, stood up, wiped his mouth, and on the whole, Melissa's craftsmanship was good.
Melissa was a little embarrassed and began to clean up the dishes by herself, but was stopped by Zhen Fan: "Forget it, let's go out to eat, and clean up when we get home!" β
Early the next morning, after Zhen Fan got up, he saw Melissa bring out a big bowl of noodles from the kitchen, which was the Chinese noodles she cooked, and it seemed that she was encouraged by Zhen Fan yesterday to make noodles as compensation. Christine also got up, saw the noodles, and screamed happily.
While eating noodles, Melissa took out her mobile phone to open the webpage, handed it to Zhen Fan and said with a smile: "You can really find trouble, you were on the news yesterday, take a look for yourself!" β
Zhen Fan took her mobile phone and looked at it, it turned out to be her own news, and Christine, the picture showed Christine and the old ladies dancing in the square together, and it seemed that she was still elated.
"I knew it was so, it looks like your plan to settle here is going bankrupt!" Zhen Fan raised his mobile phone and shook it at Christine, "If you go today, it is estimated that there will be many reporters waiting for you there, do you think you can still join the team of the elderly with peace of mind?"
