Little Life on An American Ranch

No matter how good a car is, there are times when it gets boring to drive, let alone a car produced decades ago. Although the Mercedes-Benz 770k has a high standard, it is nonsense to say that it is easier to drive than the current car.

Tired of driving the car, Jian Heng sat on the mat and continued to watch the 'crystal ball' on the pond change from profit to loss and then from loss to profit, recalling what he saw in his notes while watching.

Curiosity kept driving Jian Heng to try the water in the pond, but reason told Jian Heng that he should not do this. After thinking for a while, Jian Heng came up with a solution. It's very simple, just find an animal and try it first. When I thought of trying it with animals, two things immediately appeared in Jian Heng's mind, one was a mouse and the other was a rabbit—these two things are used in experiments. Unlucky guy, I heard that it is very similar to the function of the human body.

Thinking of these two things, Jian Hengxin felt as if grass had grown and couldn't bear it any longer. Immediately thinking about the outside, a strange space appeared in an instant, and he casually picked up a towel and wiped it on his body twice. Next, he hurriedly put on his clothes and was about to run to the nearest pet store.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Before Jian Heng could reach the door, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Jian Heng muttered and walked to the door and opened it.

Jian Heng doesn't come here for a year. It's strange to hear someone knocking on the door, but when the door opens, the person standing outside the door makes Jian Heng even more surprised. It's Jim Morgan, the son of the owner of the auction house.

"Hi Jane"

Jim stretched out his hand and clenched it into a fist, pushing Jian Heng over.

Jian Heng raised his hand in embarrassment and clenched it into a fist, touched Jim's with the surface of his fist, and then quickly retracted. It was originally a way of greeting between friends, which made Jian Heng a little confused, because the two of them were not really friends, at most they were partners, and they were still in the past!

"Hello, Jim, how did you get here?"

Jian Heng's meaning is very clear, if you have something to do, talk about it, if you have nothing to do, leave, my buddies are in a hurry to buy experimental products.

It's a pity that Jim's family came to make friends, how could he leave so easily, and smiled: "Don't invite me in?"

Jian Heng had no other choice, and immediately acted like he suddenly realized: "I'm sorry, please come in!"

Watching Jim enter the door, Jian Heng closed the door casually and greeted Jim to sit down. As the host, Jian Heng naturally wanted to ask the guests what to drink.

“All you want, tea and coffee are ok”

Jim is not picky.

Jian Heng made two cups of tea for himself and Jim, then sat opposite Jim, waiting for him to speak.

"Oh!" Jim snorted, then snapped his fingers casually, took out the check from his pocket, put it on the table, and gently pushed it in front of Jian Heng.

"this is?"

Jian Heng knew it was a check at a glance, and looked at Jim with a strange expression.

"I know what's going on between you and Williams! I hope I can express my apology. It's impossible for us to cooperate with him. I hope to give you some compensation!" Jim said with a straight face.

Jian Heng was a little confused when he heard this, and he was not sure. Because Jian Heng is too aware of the pissing nature of these foreigners, sometimes even your own father may not be willing to pay for things that are not beneficial. What's more, now that I know what that sapphire is, how can I repay it, even if I am killed!

Besides, the present Jian Heng has nothing to return, so he can't cut off the skin of his chest and give it to him.

"Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with you!"

Now Jian Heng guesses that most of the time Jim paid the money behind his father's back. He can't figure out what the purpose is for the time being, but he has to guard against it if he is courteous for nothing.

One cannot live without a little vigilance.

Thinking of this, Jian Heng directly pushed the check back.

"I'm really sorry!"

Jim looked at the sincerity on Jian Heng's face.

Jian Heng looked into Jim's eyes, and the two of them stared at each other for almost a minute.

Everyone says that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and Jian Heng saw sincerity in Jim's eyes. Even though he was bitten by Zhang Yiping's snake, Jian Heng still believed in what he saw.

"Thank you! But I don't need it, I can afford this little loss!"

Jim was not a sloppy person either. He glanced at Jian Heng, saw the firmness in his eyes, and put the check back into his pocket.

After the two chatted for a few words, Jim saw that Jian Heng was dressed more formally, not like a home dress, so he asked casually, "Are you going out?"

Jian Heng nodded and said, "I'm going to buy a pet, like a rabbit or a mouse!?

Jian Heng just said it casually, but he didn't expect Jim to be excited, and immediately asked: "What do you want?"

Startled by Jim's question, Jian Heng said again: "What else is there? Ordinary ones are fine!"

"That's easy, come with me, I used to do volunteer work in the community..." Jim began to speak.

Many young people in the United States have started volunteering since they were young. We may call them volunteers in China. American children usually do it for the community when they are young. They usually participate in various charity sales. In short, this kind of volunteer activities in the United States is still It's very important, and it can affect your child's college entrance.

Jian Heng listened to Jim say that what attracted Jian Heng the most were two words, free of charge! Although Jian Heng's annual income is quite a lot, relying on domestic development dividends, he earned almost $150,000 a year last year, but Jian Heng knew before that this money would not last long, and it is uncertain when the people of the country will become more confident , I can’t make this money myself. Not to mention that even this business is dead now. Although there is a perverted Immortal Palace, why waste money if you can save it!

Just like that, the two went out together, and the two cars drove one after the other to the pet shelter where Jim worked.

The location is not considered remote, but this place can't be in the city center, and the urban center of the phantasy contract is also very expensive. How can a pet shelter of a welfare nature have such money! The two drove for about 30 minutes, and the two cars arrived at their destination one after the other.

"Hi Jim!"

Jim led Jian Hengyi and pushed open the door of the shelter, and the eyes of the two little girls standing at the front desk lit up immediately, and they rushed to greet Jim first. He is very enthusiastic about Jim, but he just glanced lightly at Jian Heng, probably because it is rare to see Asians as tall as Jian Heng, and the eyes of both of them are a little longer for a second or two .

Jian Heng is already used to this kind of gaze. In the minds of ordinary Americans, the image of Asians is almost not tall, with squinted eyes like slits, a wretched face, and at most a math freak. good or something.

"This is my friend Jane, this is Mary, and this is Fanny! My friend wants a pet rabbit, do we have one here?" Jim first introduced and then directly explained his purpose to me.

After a brief greeting with Jian Heng, the girl named Mary said with a smile: "Yes, I received three just the day before yesterday, and I can take you to have a look."

"It's troublesome!" Jian Heng greeted him politely, followed Mary and walked into the house.

Passing through a glass door, I immediately heard a mess of dogs barking. Although Americans say they love dogs like family, there are actually quite a few pets that are abandoned every year. Many of these shelters are overcrowded with dogs.

Mary led Jian Heng to a cage inside, pointed to the cage and said, "These are just a few, which one do you like?"

Hearing this, Jian Heng put his hands on his knees, bent slightly and began to observe the rabbits in the cage. The three little rabbits in the cage were not very big, that is, not long after the full moon, and they looked very cute. I couldn't bear it, I wasn't a treacherous person in the first place, and besides, I didn't have the heart to eat rabbit meat. Taking such a small rabbit as an experimental product made Jian Heng feel a little weird.

"Is there anything else?" Jian Heng saw a rabbit in the cage next to him before he finished speaking.

The hair on this rabbit has lost one piece on the left and one piece on the right. It seems that the Venerable Master feels a little disgusted. Not only is the hair shedding so ugly, but the rabbit's spirit is not very good. It looks half-dead. It's like dying.

"What's the matter with this rabbit?" Jian Heng stretched out his finger and asked the rabbit.

Mary immediately replied after seeing it: "This is Benny, but I don't suggest you take him back. He has a genetic disease, and he won't live long at most. In order to relieve his pain, the veterinarian suggested that we euthanize him. It is about to be implemented."

As soon as Jian Heng heard it, he immediately thought in his heart: You said it earlier, this rabbit happened to be used as an experimental product for me. It’s strange that a lively rabbit is fat and fat. Isn’t such a rabbit better able to test fairyland water? ? Besides, if such a rabbit died tomorrow, he would have an excuse, wouldn't he?

"It must not be taken away?" Jian Heng asked.

Mary was stunned for a few seconds when she heard this, and her gaze changed when she looked at Jian Heng. She looked Jian Heng up and down: "Of course you can take it away, are you sure you want Benny?"

"I'm sure!" Jian Heng nodded.

When Mary heard this, little stars flashed in her eyes. She probably thought that Jian Heng was a very caring person. She looked at Jian Heng and said, "Thank you for letting Benny have a home in his last days!"

Seeing this girl's expression, Jian Heng thought to himself: I'm going to go, it's not so exaggerated, I took a dying rabbit, you are acting like a host of the Spring Festival Gala, and you are a little tearful It's about to drop, this drama is a bit over.

As if afraid of Jian Heng's repentance, the girl named Mary directly took a small cage, and quickly put the rabbit that was about to die in the next second into it.

"Benny, you must be obedient when you arrive at your new home..."

Hearing the foreign girl's words in his ears, Jian Heng's heart twitched: How can it be so bad with its appearance? It's only half a breath away, if you move a few more times, you may fart!
