Chapter 153: The Statue of Victory Worshipping and Lifting Gold Nuggets

There's a saying about Texas that 'Everything is bigger in Texas,' and everything here is really "big," from the size of the steak and the amount of fries to the pickup trucks and wide-brimmed cowboy hats, to the strength of the shopping tax refund, and even the girls' bodies.

When everyone present witnessed Jack complete this super difficult and oversized 'tomato sea bass', they couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamations on the side, and the two children of the Walker family happily picked up their mobile phones and took pictures around the dish.

Bonham, who was grilling an oversized Tomahawk steak on the side, stared at the fish with his chin in contemplation for a moment, and announced, "I think this dish should be called 'Texas Bass,' and the Texas Grilled Chicken that Jack Kid said tasted good, but it was too small." ”

Jack couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and he didn't know if it was an unintentional insertion.

As night fell, the Walker brothers lit a bonfire in the clearing, and Augie was a musically gifted young man, and although Jack had not heard the Southern country folk song he played and sang, he must admit that Hannah's expensive Jie was definitely not wrong.

After two large glasses of beer, Walker danced a country waltz with his wife Emily, which was quite enchanting and even inappropriate for children, and then the old man Bonham pulled Aunt Molly and danced the traditional country two-step dance.

Then Stella is also pulled off the field by her uncle Liam, then Hannah and Jack.

Jack really can't dance, but the advantage is that the attribute bonus given by the system is awesome, from the beginning he just mechanically twisted with Hannah's rhythm, and gradually let go of the back, and began to play freely in a decent way, and even learned to be a little sassy like Walker, holding Hannah's waist with one hand and leaning back.

After a few songs, everyone still felt that they were not dedicated enough, and at Walker's suggestion, they danced in pairs, and Auggie was responsible for playing and directing, interspersing the dance step passwords into the lyrics at the right time.

"I already regret not letting the girls all wear tufts." This is the emotion from Aunt Molly.

They played together late into the night, until the two children began to fall asleep, and the Walker family took their leave.

Early in the morning, Jack followed Aunt Molly's example and made the leftover steak from the previous night into a burrito and fried the eggs.

The bell at the door rang for a crisp sound, and after finishing her morning run, Hannah, dressed in a tracksuit, entered the door with a dewy body, holding a bouquet of freshly picked wildflowers.

"Coffee or milk? When Liam was back in town, he brought us fresh milk. ”

Jack asked without looking back.

Hannah didn't speak, just walked up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist from behind.

"What's wrong, darling?"

Jack was a little weird, she was fine just after going out.

"It's nothing, I just think it's good to live here like this for the rest of my life, and I can find a way to buy back the right to operate the ranch."

Hannah pressed her head to his back and muttered.

Jack put down the spatula in his hand, turned around and picked her up, and put her on the small table, "And then have a whole bunch of children, and throw them to Walker's house every day, and we go out to play by ourselves?" ”

Hannah's eyes widened, and she looked stupid and stupid, "You thought about it too?" ”

Jack kissed her lightly on the pink lips, "I have to admit that it only took one day for the Walker family to completely fall in love with life on the Texas ranch." ”

"But I want to redeem your family's ranches with my own money, so that they are owned by both of us."

Feeling a hot palm roaming over her sensitive skin, Hannah blushed and dripped, and her voice grew quieter.

"But that's going to be a long time, and with your FBI salary, I might as well wait for the 50-year franchise to expire, but by then we'll all be too old to have children."

Jack was annoyed: "Can't you have some confidence in me?" I've only made such a lot of gold, even robbing a bank won't be faster than I can make money, right? ”

Hannah's little madness was as she spoke, and her eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she covered the palm that was playing tricks on her chest.

"We might as well be like Bonnie and Clyde, a pair of mandarin duck thieves, and we will definitely be able to steal a lot of money."

"And then he was shot and killed by Walker, right?" Jack rolled his eyes.

Bonnie and Clyde, the most famous and legendary outlaw in Texas, were beaten into a sieve by the Texas Rangers on the highway in Louisiana.

Their story was made into a Hollywood movie in 1967 and became a classic cultural symbol.

Dividing line -——

The Stephens family's graveyard is located in a grove on the farm, old but not dilapidated, and the old Thiago and his wife kept everything on the farm, including the cemetery, in good order, and will be buried here after their death, as promised by the Stephens family.

Hannah placed the bouquet in her hand in front of a tombstone, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and prayed silently.

Jack stayed by her side without saying a word, and there was a feeling in his heart that his bond with the world was getting deeper and deeper, and he didn't seem to resist it in his heart.

After paying homage to Hannah's parents, the two returned to the farm, Hannah helped the old couple with some farm work, and Jack repaired some farm machinery, and finally simply took out his mobile phone and ordered a special three-jumper from Seris online.

This thing is usually very suitable for opening on a small farm, and it is simple in structure, strong and durable, and easy to maintain, I believe old Thiago will like it.

After lunch, the two drove to Walker's ranch and saw that the two children were already excitedly preparing for the night camp.

Jack felt that he needed nothing to help him with, so he dug out a walnut root from the corner where they had stacked firewood, asked Old Man Bonham for a hammer and a chisel, and played with the root carving under the porch.

Originally, he just wanted to make a wooden base for the natural gold nugget, but it felt too simple and boring, so he simply spoofed it and carved a statue of the goddess of victory with his sleeves rolled up.

Clamping the natural gold nugget into what was supposed to be a torch, a goddess of victory appeared in front of her, holding the nugget with one hand with her sleeves rolled up.

The key is that the face of the goddess of victory is the cartoon version of Hannah, and she looks unconvinced and arrogant, and looks at the old man Bonham on the side and shakes his head.

"This natural gold nugget is worth a lot of money, and if it were to be auctioned, it would be about 1.5 to 2 times the weight of pure gold."
