When I came to the door, I pushed open the door and walked in, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw that in the living room, Merica and Jennifer were chatting.

Merica was half-lying on the couch, and Jennifer was lying on the chaise longue, not ladylike at all, with her legs crossed and her hands on the armrests, shaking and shaking.

"Coming back?" Merika saw that Zhang Chi was back, so she greeted her.

Hearing the movement, Jennifer turned her head, glanced at Zhang Chi, and then lay back down.

"Hello George".

Zhang Chi just wanted to say that it was not good, you little girl threw live garbage into my house again, but before the words could be spoken, he saw Jennifer stretch out his hand and point to the coffee table.

Following the direction of Jennifer's finger, Zhang Chi saw a small box, so he curiously came to the side of the coffee table and reached out to pick up the box.

When I opened it, I found that there was a piece of paper lying inside, called LISE in English, and a gun license, on which Zhang Chi's name was written.

This gun license is different from the gun license that Zhang Chi has now, the bottom of this gun license is gilded, and there is no name yet, it only says the range of guns that are allowed to be held, among which automatic weapons are impressively listed.

"For me?" Zhang Chi felt that it was a sleepy person who sent a pillow, and just thought that this thing was expensive, someone sent it to him.

Jennifer's eyes didn't open, she just raised her hand: "It's your birthday soon, and I have nothing to give you, I heard Merica say that you are very interested in this thing, so I got one for you, and it should be your birthday present."

"My birthday is still a month," Zhang Chi said.

Zhang Chi's birthday is October 17th, Merika's birthday is October 16th, the difference between the two is one day, it's only September now, and it's almost a month and a half away from October.

Merica said: "Jennifer was very busy in October, so she couldn't come over then, so she gave the gift first."

"Look, why are you so polite?"

Hearing his daughter-in-law say this, Zhang Chi's mood instantly improved, when he first entered the door, he felt that his sister-in-law was hateful, now look at it, how can the more I look at it, the more I feel that it is on the road, and the more I look at it, the more I feel cute, you said that this thing is troublesome, Zhang Chi actually didn't find that his sister-in-law looked good.

Jennifer knew her position in Zhang Chi's heart very clearly: "Okay, I don't know how many times you scolded me behind my back, and now I have given a gift." Oh no, there's another gift you see, the turtle in the door is also for you."

Zhang Chi: "...... Okay, I just praised you a few words, how can you scold people! ”

Jennifer was a little stunned at this time, straightened up and looked at Zhang Chi and asked, "When did I scold you?" ”

"Didn't you scold me when you gave me a turtle?" Zhang Chi said.

Jennifer is an American, although Chinese is okay, in addition to the tone is a little weird, the average Chinese can listen carefully and understand, but where is the special meaning of the turtle in Chinese that she can understand.

Not to mention Jennifer, even Merika didn't react at once, it was Zhang Chi who said it here, and she just thought of it.

Seeing that Merika was happy, Jennifer asked curiously.

Hearing Merika's explanation, Jennifer also laughed, laughing and muttering that Chinese are really strange or something.

Zhang Chi didn't want to talk about this two hundred and five sisters-in-law, but said solemnly: "You are a dry turtle, and you know that it is not cold at a glance, it is difficult to say whether you can survive this winter if you put it here."

This kind of big tortoise, not to mention the cold zone, even if it is subtropical, there are not many, and it is generally in places with a relatively hot climate that turtles can grow so big.

Jennifer doesn't care if the turtle dies or not, she is like Merica said, raising any animal is three minutes of heat, once she feels that she no longer wants to raise it, it used to be sold, but sometimes, the things she raised are not easy to find owners, so sometimes they are thrown directly into the wild.

No quality? Jennifer doesn't care about that.

Now she found that Zhang Chi's side was a good place, so she threw it over when she was tired of it.

"There's no way around it, it's just up to its own luck," Jennifer threw out a sentence directly.

Zhang Chi has no choice, it seems a little inappropriate to let her take it back, he just received a gift from others, and now this turtle is not good for people to take it back.

Jennifer said: "This turtle is very easy to feed, as long as it is supplied with fruits and vegetables, oh, forget, just take it in a warm bath every once in a while, otherwise you will get urinary tract stones ......."

Zhang Chi was a little dumbfounded when he heard this: "Is this special thing to raise a turtle or a father?" ”

"That's all, no hassle," Jennifer said.

"Not much?" Zhang Chi said angrily.

Jennifer doesn't want to deal with her cheap brother-in-law anymore.

So the living room was quiet all of a sudden, and after a minute, Zhang Chi understood that it was time for him to leave, so he threw down a sentence to talk about, and he went back to the room to change into ranch clothes and walked out of the house.

Came to the side of the turtle, looked at this guy, found that this guy was not afraid of people, and saw that he actually came over next to him, looking at himself with his broad bean eyes.

Zhang Chi felt that this thing wanted to eat, so he found a secluded place, took out some fruits from the gourd, these fruits were produced by Zhang Chi's family, and got it in front of the turtle, he watched the turtle eat for a while, turned around and went to the stable, led out the Red Flame Mountain, and began to trot along the fence of the ranch, checking the fence while running, and found no damage around, Zhang Chi went out of the ranch and went to the ranch to the west along the horse road.

By the time she got home, Jennifer was gone.

Zhang Chi saw it, and was polite to Merika, who was practicing yoga: "Why did you leave?" ”

"Why didn't you leave, why did you give you a gun license, and you are still going to keep her for dinner?" Merica said with a smile.

Zhang Chi said: "That's for sure, I gave such a big gift."

Merika said: "She has at least three or four of these certificates, and it is a matter of giving you one."

"You can't say that, it's friendship when people send it," Zhang Chi smiled.

Merika didn't want to say anything to her husband anymore, so she silently recited a few words in her heart, and continued her yoga.

"Want something?" Zhang Chi saw that his wife didn't say anything for a long time, so he asked.

Merica thought for a moment: "Do you want to stop making some sugar gourds?" ”

"I'm still addicted to eating," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

"Do a little bit, I'm really craving this now," Merica added.

There was no way, Zhang Chi had to pick the hawthorn, then soak the red beans, throw them into the gourd, wait for the fruit to be washed, and after removing the seeds, the red beans were almost soaked, and he went directly to the cooking button to cook the beans.

After the beans are cooked, they are compacted with a spoon, and after compaction, they are put in sugar, stirred well, and then put cooking oil.

After these steps are done, it is steamed in a pot to steam all the water and gas in the bean paste, and the result is the bean paste.

With the bean paste, Zhang Chi used the bean paste to glue the slag that had been cut into two petals and removed the seeds, six or seven together, and strung them together with bamboo skewers, so that a string of hawthorns was skewered.

In view of the situation last time, Zhang Chi directly made more than thirty strings this time.

After hanging up the sugar shell, Zhang Chi sent ten strings to his daughter-in-law, two skewers of edamame, and two skewers each of Shiren and Bai Lao.

As for the rest, it was directly put into the gourd by Zhang Chi, waiting for it to be eaten by his daughter-in-law tomorrow.

After dinner, the two stayed in the study for a while, and when it was time to sleep, Zhang Chi returned to the bedroom.

After entering the room, Zhang Chi took a shower, and when he came out, he was surprised to find that Merica had not come back, so he came to the door of Merica's study and knocked lightly.

I heard a sound coming in from inside, and pushed the door open.

"What's the matter?"

"Rest early, if you don't sleep, you have to let the child rest," Zhang Chi said to Merica.

"You go to sleep first, I'll come here when I'm done with this" Merica glanced up at Zhang Chi and smiled at her husband.

Zhang Chi snorted, turned around and left Merika's study.

Closing the door, Zhang Chi, who was standing at the door, felt that something was wrong, because usually Merica wouldn't talk so much, generally speaking, it's okay, I'll go back immediately.

Or just wait a while, there is still a little, and then give a similar time, as long as the time is said, it will not be five minutes late.

But today's words seem a bit deliberate.

Zhang Chi shrank his head and went to the door opposite, gently opened the door a crack, and carefully observed the door of his daughter-in-law's study.

As soon as Zhang Chi entered the house, he saw the door of the study open through the crack in the door.

The door opened, and a brain stuck out, looked into the hallway, and found that no one was there, so he sneaked out of the house.

The person couldn't see it, but Zhang Chi heard the sound of going downstairs.

So he quietly followed behind his daughter-in-law.

Downstairs, Zhang Chi hid behind the small flower stand in the corner of the living room, observing his daughter-in-law who was rummaging through the cabinets in the kitchen.

Now Zhang Chi understands what his daughter-in-law is looking for, obviously looking for the other dozen strings of sugar gourds that he made at night.

Looking at her gluttony, Zhang Chi couldn't help but want to be happy, but after thinking about it, he decided to give her a string or two to satisfy her hunger, it is rare to have something she likes to eat so much, and now in this period, she has to make her daughter-in-law feel comfortable, right?

So Zhang Chi cautiously returned to the stairwell, and then turned on the light in the stairwell with a snap.

"Oh, I'm so thirsty!"

Zhang Chi, who was pretending, went downstairs while stretching his waist, deliberately making the sound a little louder.

When Zhang Chi arrived downstairs, he looked into the kitchen and found that the kitchen light was off, and he knew that his daughter-in-law was hiding.

Coming to the side of the refrigerator, Zhang Chi opened the door of the refrigerator, took a bottle of mineral water and drank it.

After drinking the water, Zhang Chi deliberately opened the box on the top of the refrigerator and took a look: "Well, there is no less."

After speaking, Zhang Chi turned around and went upstairs.

When he got upstairs, Zhang Chi quietly returned to his original position, and at this moment he found that his daughter-in-law was tiptoeing, reaching out to the refrigerator and groping for it.

I soon touched a bamboo basket, took it down and looked at it, and found that there were two rock sugar gourds inside.

"This person is such a thief no matter how he hides things!"

Merica found that there were only two strings, and felt a little dissatisfied, but it was better to have than nothing, and Merica walked into the small room next to her while instigating.
