Chapter 311 Concerns
After doing this, it was time for dinner. Zhang Chi asked Lao Xu to wash his hands and have dinner with him.

When Lao Xu was smart, he went to see what the workers had for lunch today, compared the two to see which was better, and finally decided to eat at Zhang Chi's.

Calling someone to eat, of course you have to cook. Zhang Chi just rolled up his sleeves when the phone rang, and when he took it out, he found that it was from his aunt.

"Hey, Auntie, isn't the restaurant busy now?" Zhang Chi asked with a smile.

Hearing Zhang Chi's voice, Gu Ying said with a smile: "What are you busy with, no busy, come here quickly, open the door, your uncle and I have arrived at the door."

Zhang Chi was surprised and asked, "Is it true?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a trumpet sounded in his ears, and only then did Zhang Chi know that the uncle and auntie had really arrived at the gate of their ranch.

So Zhang Chi yelled into the room: "Melika, uncle and auntie are here."

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the house quickly while answering the phone, and rode on the quad bike in the door and rushed towards the gate of the ranch.

When we got to the door, we found that the uncle and aunt had already opened the door by themselves and came in with their cars.

Zhang Chi said quickly: "Uncle, Auntie, don't tell me in advance when you come, I'm here to prepare."

Zhang Youliang, who was driving, said to his nephew with a smile, "What are you preparing? There is no shortage of food or drink at home. Your aunt heard that your niece and daughter-in-law are pregnant, so she wanted to come and have a look."

Zhang Chi immediately said: "Look at what you said, we should go to see you and Auntie, but now Melika looks a little sleepy all day long, I want to go in two days...".

Zhang Chi immediately explained.He and Melika really discussed about going to see their uncle and auntie, but just like what Zhang Chi said, Melica is now like a sleeping beauty, getting sleepy at every turn, so there is no set time come next day.

"It's normal to be sleepy, but it's not as sleepy as you said. It's just that you're a little tired. Why is Melika like this?"

Auntie was a little worried.

The couple didn’t say that they treat Zhang Chi as their son. It’s a bit false, but they really take care of Zhang Chi’s nephew, and they take care of him very carefully. Wu looks like.

Zhang Chi continued: "I went to the hospital for a checkup and there was nothing wrong with it. All the indicators of my body were so good, but I just felt drowsy. I didn't feel it at first, but now it's becoming more and more obvious. I have to sleep ten times a day. A few minutes, otherwise the eyelids will almost stick together..."

While talking with his uncle and aunt, Zhang Chi brought the two elders to the front of the house.

"Why does the house seem to have moved?"

When the uncle Zhang Youliang got out of the car, he felt that the house was not where he was last time, so he asked his nephew in a suspicious tone.

"You have a really good memory. It used to be over there. Isn't there a big house built there now? It turns out that this small house was moved here," Zhang Chi introduced.

"Then, what is the house over there used for?"

Zhang Youliang was very curious. His nephew hadn't been here for several months, and suddenly he changed drastically.

"That's the dormitory for the cowboys, and now only three or four rooms have been built," Zhang Chi said.

"You build three or four cowboy dormitories on such a ranch, are you going to travel?" Zhang Youliang thought that his nephew was going to travel.

Zhang Chi shook his head: "It's nothing, I don't have the mood to worry about it now, it's a headache to have so many more cows at once."

Zhang Youliang and Gu Ying's old couple became happy when they heard it.

Gu Ying said: "You child, why are you complaining to us? How many people out there have sharpened their heads to want to have your troubles? You can just talk about this at home, go out and be careful not to be beaten."

At this time, Melika came out, and called Zhang Chi, and called out with a smile: "Uncle, Auntie".

"Oh, don't come out, go back to the house and stay."

When Gu Ying saw it, he immediately spoke up, reached the door and stretched out his hand to pull Melika back into the room.

Melika was a little dazed, she turned her head and glanced at Zhang Chi subconsciously, seeing Zhang Chi smiling and nodding, she followed Gu Ying into the room.

Waiting for only two people left, Zhang Youliang sighed while looking at the pasture: "This year, the old uncle and the old aunt came over, and your parents, seeing the prosperity of your place, I don't know what to do in my heart." How happy it is."

Zhang Chi said with a smile: "Now I am very happy. I ask for a video every day. If I don't look at Melika, they feel that they have done something less today."

"It's like this when I get older, and now I don't have anything to worry about. I have passed the time to know my destiny. I don't want to think about my children and grandchildren. What else can they think about? You have to talk to Melika about this matter. Don't be annoyed, just be considerate of the old man's mood."

Zhang Youliang is a little worried now that the American girl Melika will stubbornly use her American habits to see the family relationship between Chinese people.

If you do this, then there must be problems between interracial couples, not at the beginning, love can be more important than everything, and in the end life is peaceful, then the difference in habits, especially between China and the United States, many things are a matter of mediation The concept of individuality is likely to become the fuse of marriage.

That's why Zhang Youliang and his wife hope that their son can marry at least a child from a Chinese family, not a pure American.

What is it like to integrate into the United States? That’s nonsense. How to integrate, at least those like Zhang Youliang did not think about integrating. They are not as good as some young people today. When I landed in the United States, it means that I have forgotten my Chinese. Now, they only speak English, and they always think that they are Chinese in their hearts, and the piece of paper of nationality actually proves nothing.

"I see, and Melika also understands, it's not that she hasn't stayed in China, she still knows a little about our habits," Zhang Chi said.

"That's good, that's good. The life between husband and wife is actually very simple. The most important part is mutual understanding. Even if the other party makes some small mistakes sometimes, you must have a tolerant attitude. If the two If everyone is like this, then life will be comfortable," Zhang Youliang said to his nephew.

Originally, the old couple was very happy about the combination of Zhang Chi and Melika, but it was impossible to say that they were not worried. The two have seen many Chinese-American marriages, and it is not often that they end up in the end. Like Aunt Phil, it is even rarer to know her husband's family correctly.

But what they didn't expect now is how long the two have been married and have children, so this matter is different in the eyes of the older generation.

Zhang Youliang was teaching his nephew a life lesson when suddenly his aunt's voice came from the room.

"Old Zhang, Zhang Youliang, stop standing outside, come in and cook quickly," Gu Ying said loudly.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Youliang immediately responded loudly: "Okay!"

"Uncle, don't do it, I'm about to do it here, you're here, then I'll go catch another fish."

"What kind of fish are you catching? We brought them."

As he spoke, Zhang Youliang pointed at the back of the pickup truck behind him.

Zhang Chi went over to take a look, and found that the entire rear compartment was full of things, half of which were vegetables, and the other half were fish tanks. There were about seven or eight kinds of fish in it, and there were about five or six fish of each kind.

Zhang Chi looked straight ahead.

Zhang Youliang said with a smile: "I heard that Melika likes to eat fish. I went to your Aunt Phil's house to buy some. These, you see, these are not available in China, but they taste very good, and this fish has no bones. , there is a big bone in the middle of the whole fish, and the meat is still fresh.”

"This... this is too much." Zhang Chi made a bitter face.

Zhang Youliang smiled and said: "If you can't eat it, you can keep it. I told you to move down together later, and you can send it back to me after eating."

"You said you have nothing to do and why do you buy these? You only use them a few times."

Zhang Chi thought that his uncle bought this fish box because Melika wanted to eat fish.

Zhang Youliang said: "Then you are thinking wrong, this fish box is not for you, it is bought in our store, it is being renovated now, you have to return it to me when it is half repaired".
"Ah, is the store renovated?" Zhang Chi was a little surprised.

Zhang Youliang said: "I didn't pretend much, just made a small change. The current decoration has been used for more than ten years, and it's time to change the appearance."

"That's right," Zhang Chi nodded in agreement.

Now the decoration of the store has been used for more than ten years, and it seems to be more than that. When Zhang Chi came to the United States, it was less than a year since the uncle’s small restaurant opened. Now Zhang Chi will be [-] soon. How many years do you think this has been, at least thirteen or fourteen years ago.

"How is the current restaurant?" Zhang Chi asked.

Zhang Youliang still wanted to answer, but Gu Ying's voice came from the room again: "Hey, what about the two of you, why didn't you move for a long time?"

The two uncles and nephews looked at each other and smiled, and went into the room together to start cooking.

When it was almost ready, Zhang Chi told his uncle about inviting Lao Xu to have dinner together.

"Then hurry up, we are uninvited, hurry up, it will be lively if there is one more person eating," Zhang Youliang said with a smile.

So Zhang Chi went to invite Lao Xu again, and Lao Xu was really embarrassed to come over to eat together. If there were no Zhang Youliang and his wife, Lao Xu would not be polite, but now with these two, Lao Xu feels that he can eat together again. It's a little embarrassing to go.

Zhang Chi couldn't invite him anymore, but after Zhang Youliang went to invite him once, Lao Xu finally came. If he didn't come like this, Lao Xu would be too arrogant.

Zhang Chi's craftsmanship is good, and Zhang Youliang's craftsmanship is naturally better. Zhang Chi learned this skill from Zhang Youliang, and he is not very successful.

So Lao Xu was full of praise for this meal.

Zhang Chi must have thought that Old Xu was a flatterer. Uncle Xu is good at crafting, that’s for sure, but it’s definitely not as good as what Old Xu boasted, because according to what Old Xu said, uncle should go to a state banquet instead of having a small business in the American countryside. restaurant.
