Chapter 387: Meeting
The car went around the center of Amber Town.
I heard that this was the center of the town, and everyone sitting in the bus was confused.
Zhang Juan asked, "This is the center of the town?" In the past, the small square at the entrance of our village was also more magnificent than here, are you not American?"
Along the way, Zhang Juan felt that her impression of the United States had completely collapsed.
In her imagination, what it was like to be in the United States, where everyone lived in villas, every family had a swimming pool, and when she drank soy milk in the morning, she was the master who drank a cup and threw a cup, but when she came out of Los Angeles and walked to her brother's house, she was originally excited, and her originally restless heart began to change.
More and more ranch farms are coming into view, some are very good, the pastures are beautiful, like in the painting, but most of the time the ranch farms are in tatters.
In her memory, the original house made of stone wool tiles in her hometown was no longer there more than ten years ago, but here, in the United States, the most complete country on the earth in her heart, she can still see homeless people living on both sides of the road when passing through the city from time to time.
Although the city is broken, it is undeniable that as the younger brother's house gets closer and closer, the style on both sides of the road is getting better and better, there are green trees everywhere, and when there are no green trees, there are verdant grasslands as far as the eye can see, and the undulating ones are as if they have reached the edge of the sky.
There are countless cattle and sheep on the grassland, they are grazing on the grass without worry, and occasionally one of them raises his head to look at the big RV on the side of the road, and his eyes seem to reveal a spiritual aura.
Now, the United States seems to have become the United States she imagined, a beautiful country.
"It looks like it's a lot more broken along the way than the last time we were here?" Miao Guifang turned her head and asked her wife next to her.
Zhang Jiaren thought for a moment and nodded: "It seems that nothing has changed, especially in that small town, most of the buildings that I saw were there, and the roads were the same."
The two of them came to the United States many years ago, and the excitement was higher at that time than now, and at that time they felt that the United States was a paradise on earth, and all the words about beauty could be used in the United States.
But this time, the two of them were very disappointed, they thought that if they hadn't come over for so many years, then the United States must be better than before.
Who knew that after looking at it along the way, the two of them felt that most of the places in their memories had not changed, the shops in the town were still the same as they used to be, and even the paint on the doors seemed to be the same as they were more than ten years ago.
In their hearts, Folsom is a town, not even as good as the town of their hometown, but they don't know that Folsom is actually a city, although it is not the largest city in the whole continent, but it is not so small, the state capital is here, and the population of the entire city is less than 30,000 people.
The town I saw more than ten years ago has not changed the slightest bit from now, and the four people who have been here naturally have some emotion.
"Why is there still anyone riding a triple jumper?"
While the two were talking, a cowboy rode three jumpers from the side of the road next to the car.
The cowboy riding the three-jumper is about forty years old, with a hairy beard that almost covers his entire face, a red scarf tied around his neck with small white flowers printed on it, a brown light brown plaid shirt on his upper body, jeans on his lower body, and a pair of black sneakers on his feet.
….
Zhang Chi recognized this standard, domestically produced, and sold for more than 100 yuan when he was in China, but he didn't know how much it sold here.
Zhang Chi didn't want to know, he had already guessed that this business was estimated to be Brother Xiaoma's, since Zhang Chi put Brother Xiaoma and Amber's cowboy online, the entire Amber Town was about to become the scene of the Chinese Commodity Fair.
At this moment, the cowboy is also strange, with a puzzled face, probably unable to understand how this kind of luxury bus RV can appear in the town.
The cowboy outside the car looked at the car, and the Zhang family in the car looked at the cowboy.
A foreigner riding three jumpers, all of a sudden attracted the attention of the car people, they just pulled on the window, looking at the bearded, one-year cowboy suit, wearing a cowboy hat, riding three jumpers past the car, as if they were looking at some Western scenery.
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "If you want to say that there is my credit for this, in the past, this thing was the first to be opened in my ranch, and then they thought it was easy to use, so they popularized it, this thing is used to pull cow dung or something, which is less labor-saving than the original trolley they used, and the pickup truck saves money, and now almost every farm and ranch has a few, which is really a good helper for work."
Zhang Juan glanced at her younger brother disdainfully when she heard this: "You can also teach a little better, we are going abroad to go around, not to see people riding three jumpers in another place, I thought that the cowboy was the same as in the movie, riding a horse, with a revolver pinned to his waist, and everyone reached out to pull the brim of his hat when he saw it, the kind of ...... of a gentleman."
Zhang Chi's head was full of black lines, and he said, "Sister, I haven't heard them quarrel, and the squirting out of my mouth is not much cleaner than the spray from the two old women in our hometown."
"Uncle, why haven't you arrived?"
The little nephew was a little excited about being a big haoba at first, but when he sat down a few hours later, the original excitement had already been lost to Java, and now he was looking forward to going to his uncle's house.
"Immediately, turn around immediately, and someone will be waiting for us," Zhang Chi immediately comforted the little nephew.
The little guy didn't make a fuss, mumbled, and began to pick up the window again, and put his face on the window glass.
The little guy's favorite thing to see all the way is animals, what horses, cows, etc., every time he can arouse his excitement, but he is not interested in people, let alone the street humanities.
The car kept going inside, and when it reached the intersection, a pickup truck stopped on the side of the road.
Merika and Zhang Youliang were looking at the bus coming over, especially Zhang Youliang, the corners of their excited mouths twitched slightly, and their eyes were already covered with a layer of mist.
"Auntie!"
The little nephew stretched out his hand and pointed at Merika outside, and turned his head loudly and said to Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi listened and stretched out his hand to rub the little nephew's head. Although the little nephew and Merika have not met in reality, the two have chatted a few times, and the little guy feels that his aunt is very good, and he likes his foreign aunt.
"Ouch, this little plum looks taller than Li."
Miao Guifang looked at her granddaughter-in-law not far away, and said with emotion.
"It's not good to be tall, the old Zhang family is now wide and short, and Xiaomei will improve her genes, grandma, you should be snickering" Zhang Juan said with a smile.
….
As he spoke, the car stopped beside everyone.
The bus is not easy to get into, because this RV bus is too long and longer than a truck, and it can be driven into the pasture, but when it turns out, it will definitely crush the pasture, so Merica took Uncle Zhang Youliang and Uncle Gu Ying to the fork in the road and waited.
The car stopped steadily, and Zhang Chi was the first to go down.
After going down, he stood at the door and reached out to help his grandfather get out of the car.
"Uncle!"
Zhang Youliang shouted uncle, and after shouting, he reached out and grabbed Zhang Jiaren's arm, wanting to say something to greet, but it seemed that his throat and eyes were stuck, and he couldn't spit out a word, but tears spurted out all of a sudden.
When Zhang Jiaren saw his nephew like this, he couldn't help but sigh for a while, took two steps, got out of the car and gave way to his wife behind.
He stretched out his hands to hold his nephew's arm, looked him up and down, and said with a smile, "I look a lot younger, and I am a ......little richer."
"I'm okay, you're really younger than last time...... Zhang Youliang looked at his cousin here, and then a smile appeared on his face, but this smile was a bit funny, fifty or sixty people, the tears on his face were still hanging, and he laughed again.
"Da Liangzi," Miao Guifang shouted.
"Alas! Auntie," Zhang Youliang responded.
Gu Ying stepped forward at this time and said to Miao Guifang, "Auntie, you also look younger, and your spirit is much better than the last time you came, has this hair been dyed?" There are fewer gray hairs than the last time I came."
"Undyed, undyed!"
Miao Guifang laughed
, For more than a year, Miao Guifang felt that she was really younger than before, her hair was originally gray, but now it has become black, and her spirit seems to be much better than before.
At the beginning, Miao Guifang was still a little scared, thinking that it was not a return to the light or something, everyone knew that some elderly people were most afraid of a dead word, not to mention that her great-grandson had not been hugged now, but she was reluctant to die now.
So the family took it to have a check-up, and the doctor said that all the physical indicators were very good, better than many young people now, so I was relieved.
Now Miao Guifang likes people to say that she is young, and the sentence of her nephew and daughter-in-law can be regarded as scratching her heart.
"Big brother, sister-in-law."
Zhang Youpeng and Zhang Youliang said hello and went to the side, and it was not appropriate for them to go up at this time.
"Mom, Dad!"
As a China expert, Merica still knows about the general habits of China, and there are actually people who call their parents on the American side, but they are very few, and they generally only call their parents, not their parents-in-law, and most of them call their parents-in-law by name.
"Hey, hey!"
Li Xiumei was so happy that she didn't know what to say, so she reached out and grabbed Merika's hand.
But then it was a little embarrassing, because Merika's height was a bit tall, and Li Xiumei's height was not too tall among Chinese women to be put in front of her daughter-in-law's height, and she had to raise her head when she spoke.
Merika couldn't help but squat down a little when she saw this, and talked to her mother-in-law at eye level.
"Don't, you have a child in your belly, stand up straight and talk, how tiring it is to talk to me like this" Li Xiumei was satisfied with her daughter-in-law's intimacy on the one hand, but thinking that her daughter-in-law still had a little granddaughter in her belly, she immediately asked her daughter-in-law to stand up again.
This guy is called a mess, Zhang Chi felt like he had followed up the duck house, and his ears were full of rattling sounds.
"Let's go home, what are you talking about here, what are we going to say when we go home," Zhang Chi said loudly while carrying his luggage.
Ranch idleness.
