Chapter 13: Raccoon Town, My Home

"Taste it, Linda. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Chinese buns don't you like to eat very much, it's a vegetarian filling, you don't have to worry about getting fat. People are much more delicate than me. Shen Chong said and pushed the cage drawer containing the bun in front of Linda.

"What's wrong with you? Feeling unwell? Linda saw that Shen Chong's face did not have the optimistic expression that she had just entered the door.

"No, no. Look at! My daughter should also eat, blow on her, don't burn her. I'm thinking about things. ā€

"What's the matter? Let me hear it? Linda said.

"I'll tell you later, let's eat first. I'll take you shopping and buy some toys for my daughter in a moment. Shen Chong picked up the fast child and began to eat.

After the family finished eating, they chatted warmly with the owner of the Sichuan vegetable garden, and then walked out of the restaurant. A family of three walked the streets of Raccoon Town, laughing and buying things they liked, just like many of the tourists who come here. Originally, I wanted to walk more, but my daughter may be tired and want to sleep, so she had to go back to the Acre Hotel first. After arriving at his room, Shen Chong said to Linda that he wanted to think about something for a walk, and he would say it to himself at night. Linda felt strange, but didn't say anything.

Shen Chong stepped out of the elevator and passed by the reception hall where he came, there was a fountain in the middle of the hall, and there were many plants around and sofas, tables and chairs for tourists to rest temporarily. A lot of guests, different statuses, different races, people sit there and talk about their own topics.

"I've found you! Why are you here! Big star, have a great time! ā€

"Yes! Raccoon Town! It's like a home away from home in Europe. But it's very different, you America is like a big park. ā€

"Give! Contracts and scripts! My big star! ā€

"What script!? This is, "This Killer Is Not Too Cold 2"! No! I don't take pictures! How can American filmmakers be so disrespectful of the feelings of the audience! You know, that protagonist is beaten into a sieve! Blown to pieces again! Will you still be able to live in the second episode?! ā€

"Do you want to do so much? The audience doesn't want to! The audience's feeling is that they are looking at you! Renault! Your height! Your body! Your tone! And your head! No one cares if you're dead or alive! I mean in the movies! Sign it! You're worth a lot now! Renault! ā€

"Nope! I won't sign it, I'll fly back to France tomorrow to start filming "Playing Time and Space: French Version", movies are an art, not a product in a factory! Yes, movies without the Hollywood world would be much monotonous, and I don't want to deny your achievements, but you can't always shoot the same episode endlessly! No, you don't know, it's not about money. Actors are most afraid of being positioned on the same subject by the audience. I'm back in my room, you can find me some other scripts and plays! Good bye! ā€

"Alas! Hum! Proud Frenchman! ā€

"General, do you think China will compete with us in Asia? I'm going to block 50 dollars, and they won't say they don't dare. ā€

"Mr. Senator, for your $50, how many American families will lose their children, and in your eyes, they are worth $50?"

"Sorry! General, I'm just kidding. General, do you think that American soldiers are afraid of the Chinese army? ā€

"Mr. Senator! Please remember! As an American soldier, we were not afraid of the British and German troops, nor of the Japanese army and the Soviet Red Army. And we all beat them! Yes, the lessons of the Korean War and the Vietnam War are profound! This is also the meaning of the existence of the 62nd Army! How to protect the interests of the United States? First of all, it depends on whether you are afraid and afraid of China. Please remember! The military is the continuation of politics, but at the same time, military force is also the cornerstone of political decision-making! You can give it a go! ā€

"General! I'm so glad you were born in the United States, God bless America, cheers! ā€

"God? I only believe in myself! General Berard said as he drank the 'Jianlibao' in his hand.

"Hello General! Washington wants you to return quickly! Here are the files! ā€

"Bruce! Bruce. McGieven! Why are you here too! Ah, it looks like something is wrong. Okay, but I've had enough, so I'll be back next year. ā€

"Hey! Wife, I'm here! Aya, where did you go? Come and let me kiss it! ā€

"It's not serious! People are watching! ā€

"It's okay, Senator and Bruce are acquaintances."

"It's been two days! It's been two days! Why hasn't he come back yet! I was in a hurry, he said he was just going to play in the mountains, take a few pictures, and come back before dark! ā€

"Don't cry! We thought we'd report the Raccoon Town Forest Police and the Police Department! They're looking for. ā€

Shen Chong walked out of the hotel gate, got into his car, and drove onto the street again. Went straight to the newly built residential area of Raccoon Town, which was written on the map, and accompanied by the staff of the sales office, they looked at the houses one by one.

After a round of selection, they walked through a crossroads, a two-story house entered Shen Chong's eyes, gray roof, white walls, Shen Chong looked at the offer in his hand, a single room for three children, a couple's bedroom with bathroom and balcony, a study, a large living room and a kitchen dining room, two garages, and a basement. Dozens of meters of green space, optional plus swimming pool. Don't pool total selling price: 157000$.

Shen Chong walked in front of the low white wooden fence and pushed open the door. Walking into the courtyard, entering the house and looking at every empty room there was an indescribable feeling, standing on the balcony on the second floor, he looked out at the scenery of the Acre Mountains in the distance, this is his future home.

"Not bad! If this is in a big city, it will definitely be more than a few times, a very good layout! Shen Chong said with satisfaction.

"Then you decided sir? Is the land vast and sparsely populated now? In a few years, it may have doubled. "The salesperson wants to stimulate the customer.

"I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

"Excellent! By the way, a lot of people moved in. You're going to have to hurry, sir. ā€

"By the way, do you offer house renovation and remodeling services here?" Shen Chong asked.

"Yes, but not too many modifications to the house."

"Don't worry, I just want to modify the garage and change a garage. For example, change it to ......"

"Ahh This one? Yes, no problem! For three days, although Oregon is rich in wood, do you really want to use such high-grade planks? ā€

When Shen Chong returned to the hotel, he thought it was afternoon, and as soon as he entered the room, Linda asked a little anxiously, "Where have you been this afternoon, the child has been looking for you." ā€

"I decided on Linda and made her home here. I went to see the location of the house and bookstore this afternoon and I wanted to make a home here! Do you agree? Saying that, Shen Chong picked up his daughter.

Linda blinked and said, "I see! I said how do you have a mind when you eat at noon, no problem! But have you looked at the schools and transportation in residential areas? You're not going anywhere else? ā€

"Needless to say! Catherine was allowed to walk to school before she went to high school. No, I think I'm destined to be here, if you have no opinion, I'll buy it tomorrow. Here are the photos, and the location of my bookstore. I think the name is "Fate" bookstore! ā€

"Very nice! I like it, but when will we be able to move in? Isn't it too much room for three kids? Linda smiled and said to Shen Chong with some hint.

"After four days, I asked them to make some minor changes to make it more suitable for us. You don't have to worry about money, can you use it as a storage room if you can't use it?! Shen Chong also said with a smile.

"Minor modifications? Right for us? ā€

"You'll know when the time comes, and on the fourth day we're going to buy furniture and groceries. On the fourth night, you can sleep in your own bed, after the dance. So enjoy yourself here for a few days, and in a few days you can make us toast. ā€

After Shen Chong finished speaking, he took off his coat, sat on the sofa and turned on the TV. But with his eyes closed, he could see that he was a little tired today.

"By the way, don't wait for me! You haven't eaten yet, so let's go to the restaurant downstairs. I just don't go and want to take a break. ā€

In the days that followed, Shen Chong and Linda began designing their future home in Raccoon Town, from the double bed to their daughter's toys, from the TV and kitchenware to slippers and sofa cushions.

Furniture, in particular, is much cheaper than elsewhere due to the abundance of wood in the area, and on the fourth day, truckloads of delivery trucks pulled their orders and slowly filled their new home in Raccoon, which was not cold and empty, but a family of three with its owner.

The two and their children lay down on the delivery man's newly moved double bed, facing the roof of the bedroom, full of infinite beauty for the future.

In the study, Linda helped Shen Chong sort out his books, and when Linda learned that Shen Chong had paid off the 180,000 US dollars in a lump sum, Linda was surprised and said, "Why don't you take out a loan?!" Or pay in installments? Drained all your savings? ā€

Shen Chong said with a smile: "We Chinese don't like to live in debt. Don't worry, that's not all, you also know that I liked some money, when will it be spent at this time? The bookstore relies on loans, and when I go into my own home, I think I have to repay the money, and I don't feel comfortable eating or sleeping. I'm saying that we're still a little bit there! ā€

Just as Linda was about to say something, Shen Chong pulled her up and walked downstairs. Walked through the kitchen to the garage.

"Come on! I'll show you something. You also come to the little princess! Shen Chong smiled and said to his daughter, just like Santa Claus sent surprise gifts to the children.

"Close your eyes! I'm going to open the door! ā€

"What is it? Car? ā€

Click! The door is open! "Alright, open your eyes!" Shen Chong said loudly.

"Oh my God! This is for me! Linda opened her eyes and was stunned!

"You turned this garage into a dance room!? This large glass mirror and wooden floor! Stereos and music discs!? For me?! Linda said in surprise!

"Yes! You can practice here on your own later, after the dance. You can also teach your daughter, I see that you sometimes jump up and down a few times involuntarily, so I made this house for you. Don't suppress yourself! Here you go! Jump! After Shen Chong finished speaking, he handed Linda a new pair of taps.

"Let's dance, queen of dance! For you, little princess. ā€

After Shen Chong finished speaking, he smiled and hugged his daughter and sat on the floor.

Linda: She took the new pair of dancing shoes. A dance room of your own. Every piece of those floors is the best, like a well-made brand-name musical instrument! She changed into her dancing shoes and stood in the middle of the room and listened. Click! Click! Click! Crisp taps and music rang out, this time without being sad, in the cheerful Ellay violin and percussion. She danced one song after another, and when she danced the last dance with a graceful turn, her dancing long hair returned to calm, and the audience applauded enthusiastically! A new dance queen was born, and her audience consisted of only two people of her own husband and daughter, but she felt that this was her best, most beautiful, and most devoted performance!
