Little Life on An American Ranch

Jian Heng didn't think much of his mother's overflowing sympathy. In this world, the chance of a beautiful woman meeting a bad man is far greater than meeting a good man. Why? The down-to-earth guys are generally not very eloquent and will never be able to beat bad guys when it comes to attracting girls.

"Okay, Mom, let's take care of our own affairs." Turning his head to see that Barley and Wheat had finished their meal, Jian Heng said again: "Didn't you say you want to go out, are you ready to go out?"

Sun Xiuying said: "What time is it now? The city doesn't open until ten o'clock."

"Forget it, I'd better go back to the room and sleep for a while," Jian Heng said after hearing this.

Sun Xiuying immediately said: "Don't sleep, chop up the meat, let's eat dumplings at night!"

"We eat dumplings when my dad is not at home? Is this appropriate?" Jian Heng joked.

Sun Xiuying said cheerfully: "Your father and your sister are both coming back tonight, and besides, your sister will go to school tomorrow."

Jian Heng curled his lips after hearing this: "Ning Ning is also called going to school?"

My little nephew learns this and that, and his busy little face is scratched all day long, while my sister just herds the sheep, and has nothing else to do except ponder and play all day long, although Sun Xiuying is right Ning Ning is stricter, but how strict can an old daughter be, the old couple no longer have the hot temper of their youth to control this little girl like Ning Ning.

"For kindergarten, just wait for the first grade," Sun Xiuying said nonchalantly.

Jian Heng shrugged his shoulders and said nothing more.

Sun Xiuying found the pot, meat, and cutting board for Jian Heng. Jian Heng put the pot on the ground, put the cutting board on the pot, and waved two kitchen knives to chop up the dumpling filling.

Barley and Wheat helped Sun Xiuying wash the pots and dishes in the kitchen.

"Sister Sun, is Sister Sun at home?"

A neighbor's voice came from the downstairs door.

Sun Xiuying opened the window, looked down and asked, "Who is it?"

The visitor took two steps back and stood where he could see, and said to Sun Xiuying, "I, I will return the oil I borrowed from your house last time."

"Hey! You came here to return the bottle of oil, that's enough, come up!" Sun Xiuying pretended to be polite, and let the person come up.

The visitor walked up the stairs and came to the door of the kitchen. When he saw Damai and Wheat helping Sun Xiuying wash the pots and dishes, he immediately praised: "Hey, the two daughters-in-law are still helping with the work? It's really rare." .

Sun Xiuying immediately got flustered: "I don't want my children to help, it's just such a small job, there's no way the two of them insist on doing it!"

He said so, but he couldn't hide the smug look on his face.

The visitor put the wine bottle in his hand on the kitchen table, and continued to hold it in his mouth: "Oh, many girls nowadays don't hold up the oil bottle when it's upside down. Look at my two daughters-in-law who don't do any work all day long." Dry, just open your mouth to eat. After eating, push the chopsticks and throw away the bowl to watch TV. Don’t mention cooking and washing the dishes. I don’t even know how to pour your saliva for you. Our whole life is hard work, raising a son , the son will be their servant when he gets married..."

The old lady started complaining to Sun Xiuying. Now many girls are like this, laziness has become the norm, and those who are particularly hardworking are rare. Compared with real American girls, most of them can do housework, and after marriage, most of them are women doing housework, or Both sides share. Jian Heng has lived in the United States for so long, he can count on one hand the men who have seen men cook and wash dishes.

This also includes himself. Jian Heng did it because he doesn't like pure American food, and the cooking level of barley and wheat is so-so. Another point is that barley and wheat used to have classes every day, and Jian Heng had the most time alone. full.

The suffering of others is the source of happiness for Sun Xiuying. She praised her daughter-in-law endlessly: "That's really not as good as my two daughters-in-law, Da Mai and Mai Mai, who are hardworking and can accompany me shopping and choosing clothes. Hey, hey, she’s closer than a daughter, and American girls are really not squeamish, why are some girls in China now, alas, this can’t work, and that can’t, it seems that they have nothing else to do except eat...”

The two old ladies seemed to think it was not enough to talk like this, so the two finally sat in the living room and started talking nonsense while eating melon seeds.

Sun Xiuying's exaggeration is not very plausible. She said that barley and wheat are rare in the sky and almost none in the world. It seems that the daughter-in-law here is the best in the world.

It's not hard to hear the exaggeration of barley and wheat. After listening to it for about half an hour, I really couldn't stand it anymore. Wheat sneaked up to Jian Heng's side.

"Mom, why are you talking like that, it makes me and Damai feel really nervous?" Mai Mai said in a low voice.

Jian Heng laughed and said, "Isn't it good to praise you?"

"I know it's a compliment to us, but it's a bit full of praise," Mai said.

In fact, Jian Heng couldn't stand listening anymore. He smiled and said loudly: "Mom, this stuffing is ready, do you want to add some soy sauce or something?"

Sun Xiuying immediately stood up when she heard this: "Don't add it yet! Don't add it yet, I will do the rest."

After speaking, he said to the person who came: "Sister Ma, I won't talk to you anymore, I still have work to do here."

"Okay, I just want to go home and prepare meals. Today, my grandchildren and grandchildren will come over!"

"That's exciting!" Sun Xiuying said.

"Isn't that right, a group of children making a fuss will also increase the popularity of our courtyard."

The two old ladies parted ways after complimenting each other a few more words.

The old lady came to the door and said to herself: Isn't it just marrying two beauties, what a show!

At about this time, Sun Xiuying was also a little bit dissatisfied: "Is it strange to have grandchildren? I will have grandchildren next year! As for the children in your family, they look like African refugees. What's there to brag about!"

The old lady is like this. The neighbors around her are very competitive, and they are not forgiving, but many of them have a knife mouth and a bean curd heart. If there is a problem, they can reach out. This kind of neighborhood relationship is actually two or three times better than it is now. The ten-year-old couple's neighborhood is much closer.

Sun Xiuying came over here and saw Jian Heng's stuffing, and nodded with satisfaction: "Give it to me, you go and wash your hands!"

Jian Heng stood up: "What else is there to do? Do you want to chop the vegetables together?"

"There is no need for food!"

Before Sun Xiuying finished speaking, she remembered the dried horse vegetables she had soaked, so she said: "I forgot, let's chop up the horse vegetables. This thing has no water content, so chopping it early will not affect it."

Just like that, Jian Heng started chopping horse vegetables.

Jian Heng doesn't know the scientific name of Macai, but it is called Macai in his hometown. It is a wild vegetable that is very common in the fields. In spring and summer, picking horse vegetables and digging shepherd's purse are the necessary skills of the old lady Sun Xiuying. The horse vegetables that have been dug are washed and then boiled in a pot. After they are soft, they are taken out and dried. It became the filling of dumplings.

After chopping the horse vegetables, one kind of stuffing is ready. The family of four prepared it and then went to the street together.

Arrived at the parking lot of the city, parked the car, Jian Heng took his mother and daughter-in-law upstairs, and hadn't entered the city yet, trouble came, a group of people followed behind Damai and Mai like idiots, shyly Some of the faces were photographed with a mobile phone.

It didn't matter at first, but as the number of people increased, Jian Heng became a little annoyed. He felt ashamed, and these idiots had no intention of respecting others at all.

"Is it over?" Jian Lan turned her head and said to the crowd following behind.

There is really some groaning in the crowd: "What law are we breaking?"

"It's not against the law to enter the market, but if you take pictures of people with your mobile phone and follow along, at least it's not polite, you've grown up so much, is this just a little tutoring?" Jian Heng stepped forward and pointed at the nonsense said the young man.

"Do you know who I am?"

"Hey, I've heard this sentence all the time in the past two days, and I want to know who you are today!" Jian Heng began to roll up his sleeves as he spoke.

Jian Heng was actually quite impatient when he rolled up his sleeves. He didn't want to beat up people at all, but these people deserved to be beaten up. What's so good about two foreign women, you can just look at them at most. This group of people followed suit, and some people To actually follow all the way from the parking lot to the entrance of the city, it's really unqualified, and it's too shameless.
