Rural life in America

Chapter 146 The Captain's Mate (Third Watch Subscription!!)

Zhang Hao recently signed up for a training class, and Christina also came to the class; because they want to learn how to drive a yacht, this matter is quite attractive to them, because this matter will be very interesting.

Of course, if you have a yacht, you need to drive it yourself, especially this yacht is not bad; although it is not going out to sea, even if it is only in the lake, driving a yacht is quite interesting.

Xixi pouted, because her parents always went out to play without her, which made the little girl very wronged.

"Dad, I'm going to kindergarten."

Picking up his precious daughter, Zhang Hao naturally knew that Xixi was not a good student, so he asked seriously, "Xixi, Mom and Dad are not going to kindergarten, so do you want to go to kindergarten?"

The little girl was confused all of a sudden, the little girl thought that studying means going to kindergarten, and since her sister is studying in kindergarten, parents must also go to kindergarten.

Since Mom and Dad don't go to kindergarten, Xixi, biting her finger, immediately shook her head, "Then I won't go, Dad, I won't go."

Before going to school, the little girl Xixi seems to have some resistance to the kindergarten; but Zhang Hao knows that Xixi will definitely dislike the kindergarten more and more.

"Xixi, if you go to kindergarten, you can't take Luobo with you, and neither can the white lion, white tiger, and Huahua. You can't ride horses there, but there are many children who can play games together. Do you want to go?"

Sure enough, Xixi's answer was unexpected, "I'm not going, Dad, I'm not going."

That's right, this is Xixi's normal behavior.

The little girl sometimes wants to play games with other children, but she is still a little shy and introverted; even though she rides a horse and walks the dog all day, she is not afraid of squirrels.But if there are children who want to play games with her, the little girl will stay with her parents more, and the little girl will only smile and not speak to other children.

This is Xixi's character; this little girl is very unrestrained in the ranch.

In the face of familiar people, Xixi is not introverted, and she can't see the appearance of a little lady at all.But in front of outsiders, Xixi will be timid and shy. The little girl is not so easy to get sticky with other people.

There is no need to worry about Xixi wanting to study, anyway, Zhang Hao will not send the little girl to the nursery now; there are many children there, but Zhang Hao still thinks that Xixi will be happier staying in the ranch, Xixi Xi would prefer to play games with the white lions.

Driving a yacht is a very interesting thing. Both Zhang Hao and Christina are a bit obsessed now; they must learn quickly so that they can master the basic skills as soon as the yacht is returned.

Anyway, Zhang Hao and Christina don't plan to hire someone to help drive the yacht, that's boring.Of course, it is also very luxurious. After all, this is not a super yacht, and it is not so difficult to control.

The progress of the two crazy guys is obvious, and they have initially mastered the skills of driving a yacht; this kind of thing is similar to driving, and more practice makes perfect, which is the most important thing.

Yachting is very interesting, and it is even more fun after sending it back; Zhang Hao and Christina got their wish. During this period, the two of them went to learn how to drive, isn't it just to show off what they have learned when the yacht is sent home!

Xixi happily pointed at the yacht and shouted, "Dad, big boat."

Zhang Hao nodded affirmatively, it was the big boat, "Yes, this is our big boat. Xixi, shall we go sail?"

Xixi turned around and ran to catch Luobo. Luobo didn't like to take a boat, "Carrot, big boat."

Of course Luobo had to run. He didn't like water or boats. When he saw Xixi running towards him, Luobo ran for his life without even thinking about it. He knew that Xixi would definitely grab him and run to the boat.

Small wooden boats used to be terrible, but now a bigger boat is definitely more boring, Luobo doesn't want to go!
White lions and white tigers don't matter, they all dared to board the small wooden boat, although at that time they just nested in the small wooden boat and couldn't move; it shouldn't be the case now, such a big boat can definitely run.

After blowing a whistle and pointing at the yacht, Huahua flapped her wings and flew over; she finally learned how to fly, now Huahua basically points to where to fly, so she doesn't need to worry too much, although she is a bit noisy.

Yu Xiu was speechless from ear to ear, the family has changed so much this year; such a good yacht was unimaginable before.This is not the same as the small wooden boat at home, this is a yacht!
"This yacht is good. It's about the same size as the yachts of the rich people on TV. At first, I was afraid that the yacht would be too big to handle, but now I see that the yacht is not too big."

Zhang Hao put his hands on his mother's shoulders and said proudly, "In the future, when we have money, we will buy real big yachts, the ones that go out to sea, and when we have money, we will buy sea view villas! Now this yacht is basically The configuration is similar to those of top yachts, with a flying bridge and a diving platform, which is very different from some speedboats.”

Although Zhang Jianye was also very happy, but after hearing Zhang Hao's bragging, he became a little angry.

"It's a waste of money to return a sea view villa! You have to pay a lot of taxes every year after you build a big house, and you have to pay more taxes every year when you buy a house. You can't make much money by speculating on houses in the United States! Now this house That’s enough, it’s good to have mountains and rivers behind it, what more do you need a villa with a sea view, which is the same style as our villa!”

Well, what Dad said is a bit reasonable; the real estate tax in the United States is really fucked up, basically you have to pay it every year; and if you have multiple properties, you have to pay even more. At first glance, it is indeed not a good business.Of course, this is only relative. Many people in the United States still rely on real estate speculation to make a fortune.

The mansion is in sight, and the yacht is now available; this little life is really getting more and more exciting, and it is worthy of the environment of the ranch.

When I first came here, it was just a small wooden house, neither good nor bad; although the environment is very good, but speaking of limited funds, it is really not worthy of the scenery.

Changing the log cabin into a villa, and the small wooden boat into a yacht, this is what Zhang Hao, an upstart, should look like. This is one of the main reasons why Zhang Hao chose this place in the first place; I hope that one day I can go boating on the lake!

Zhang Hao is full of ambition here, but Luo Bo is forced; although it can run very fast, it can guarantee that it will not be caught by Xixi.But that would be 'running away from home', otherwise, according to Xixi's character, this is a character who will not give up until he achieves his goal.

It can be seen how unhappy Luobo is, it looks like it is downcast; Xixi is jumping happily in front of it, while Luobo just keeps his head down and walks feebly, unable to arouse interest at all.

With the exception of the Bawang guy, the whole family is now waiting in front of the pier, waiting for the final inspection by the salesman; kind of can't wait, hoping to get on board the yacht sooner.

"Get on board!"

When the final inspection is completed, needless to say, it is natural to board the ship immediately, and I can't wait for a long time!
Xixi opened her little hands to hug, Zhang Hao smiled and held the little girl in his arms and strode onto the yacht.

"Let's go up to the flybridge first, and there's the deck. Tina and I removed the second pilot's seat on the flybridge, and it's an all-access deck. There's a lot of space there, so we can sunbathe, play cards, and eat in the future." .”

Although the gangway was a bit narrow, the family boarded the flybridge deck with great interest.

Zhang Hao and Christina are a little proud. Although the space of about ten square meters is not large; but this is relatively speaking. For a yacht, such a deck space is enough.

"It's pretty good. It's the balcony on the second floor of the yacht. It's good to play cards here in the future. I don't like sunbathing, I can't get too much sun."

Yu Xiu sat on the deck with a smile, patted the cushion and said.

Zhang Hao smiled, it's normal that my mother doesn't like sunbathing; but it's definitely not just for sunbathing, it's very useful.

Xixi ran happily on the deck, and Luobo also became interested; the big ship is good, you can lie in the small cabin without being so wronged, and the most important thing is that it is not bumpy at all, so you don't have to worry about falling into the water!
After looking at the flybridge deck for a while, the main thing is to go to the main cabin, where the space is larger and the layout is more luxurious.

Zhang Jianye leaned lazily on the sofa, and hugged the white lion onto the sofa, "This sofa is good. Is there a small refrigerator next to it? Xixi, go and see what's delicious in the refrigerator. If you have beer, get it for grandpa." A bottle of wine."

Xixi, who was rolling on the sofa, immediately got up and ran to open the refrigerator in the direction of her grandfather's finger; Xixi is the most obedient, cutest, and of course the most enthusiastic.

Opening the refrigerator, Xixi turned around and looked at Grandpa spreading his small hands and said, "Grandpa, no."

Zhang Jianye opened his hands and said, "Forget it if you don't have one, let Grandpa give you a hug, we Xixi are so good!"

Xixi giggled and ran over, and threw herself into Grandpa's arms; covered Grandpa's face with two small hands, and happily kissed Grandpa several times.

Lobo ran to the deck in front of the driver's cab, where there was almost room for two people to lie flat; but now there was a wolf and a beautiful parrot squatting.

"Ow!"

"I'm Huahua, come on, Huahua!"

Well, I saw Luobo and Huahua as soon as I started the yacht; fortunately, these two guys didn't block my view, so Zhang Hao didn't need to be timid, just start the yacht.

"Passengers, please sit down, I'm going to sail!"

As soon as the words fell, Christina squeezed Zhang Haoba away and took the steering wheel and said, "I am better than you, and your performance in several assessments is very average. Let me try this boat. The new boat is more difficult to control!"

Zhang Hao was dumbfounded, no wonder Christina followed him all the time, so she was waiting for such a moment!
Although it was very itchy, Zhang Hao had to admit that what Christina said was a little bit reasonable; during the training, he cried when he said it. He thought he could easily drive a Hummer, and he thought he was a driving genius.

But this kind of genius obviously does not include being a talented captain; let's be the first mate now, Christina is an even better captain, at least in terms of sailing!
