Chapter 255 The New Life of the Gregg Family

Zhang Hao's family is enjoying the holiday happily and enjoying the wonderful moment of real family reunion.And while Zhang Hao's family was enjoying these wonderful moments, some people were also enjoying these wonderful moments.

The Gregg family is now enjoying the joy of housewarming, and they are enjoying the joy of moving into their new home.

It's not just a house in a slum, not a community with poor security; it's a community with good security, not a high-end community, but the people living here can basically be regarded as middle-class families.

Greg was very happy to say hello to some neighbors, and now he is doing barbecue on the small lawn in front of his new house, entertaining his old friends.

Stan is a very silent person, or it can be said that he is so honest that he is a bit too much.

But now, he is happily cooking barbecue; there is always a faint smile on his somewhat paralyzed face, and he is very happy entertaining some of his friends and guests who come to the house.

Watching Kendrick and Jane happily entertain those little guests at home, Stan felt very happy, because he really did a pretty good job, because he saw the opportunity for the family to live a prosperous life, because he saw this Families that used to live near the poverty line have become richer and happier.

Greg chatted with his old buddies, the garage guys, the cowboys, the builders, even the unemployed without any jobs.These are some people he has been dealing with, these are his friends.

"Charles, it's incredible to see your current job and your current income! You are going to a nursing home and you can apply for benefits, but I didn't expect you to be able to live here now Come on, you bought a house, in a community with great security!"

Seeing the envy and hatred of his old friends, Greg smiled happily, "We won't receive welfare, we don't need food stamps. Stan and I have been working hard, so this is our reward!"

Seeing Greg's proud appearance now, his old friends couldn't stand it, it was too embarrassing.

"I know Stan is a great kid, he's been working hard. But Charles, not everyone who works hard moves into this neighborhood, and a lot of people who work as hard as Stan are still in the ghetto or applying for welfare. .”

Greg laughed, knowing that his old friend was telling the truth; a lot of people would work hard, but they wouldn't change the odds of living in poverty.Maybe it's because of ability problems, or maybe it's because I didn't find a good job.

A grey-haired fat old man was a little envious of Greg. He knew that the Gregg family might have changed their fortunes by working on the Longbow Ranch.

"Charles, you know what. At first we thought it was just a naive young man, we thought he would go bankrupt soon. There are so many ranchers going bankrupt in the United States every year, I can hardly believe that a man who has never ran a ranch A young man will succeed, and it's a small ranch, he can't raise many cattle at all!"

Another old man interjected and was very touched, "Although I'm not a cowboy, I don't understand that job. But I know that I can't run a ranch like him. The investment is too much, and he is wasting resources. He doesn't even Cowboys need to be recruited, and that's a lot of money."

Greg became very proud, and he was very happy, "Haha, so I got this job. Everyone is not optimistic about him, but I am optimistic about him."

Needless to say, Greg got unanimously booed because this guy was too arrogant, because they all knew that Greg wasn't very optimistic about Zhang Hao at the beginning, and they all knew that Greg wanted Zhang Hao from the beginning. To get a job, don't even think it will be a long-term job, let alone a high-paying job.

Now when someone asks, Greg will definitely put gold on his face, saying that he has vision and foresight; but everyone knows that Zhang Hao’s ranch was just a play to some people at the beginning. It is impossible to be optimistic about Zhang Hao's ranch, and naturally think that Greg's job may be just a short-term job and will not last long.

It's just that no one thought that that guy's ranch would be successful, and no one thought that Greg, an old boy, would actually find the best job at an age when many people would retire.

This is the reality, and it is also something that makes many people dumbfounded; I have to say that all this is incredible now, and I have to say that the fate of many people has changed because of some unexpected things.

Stan is also very happy now, chatting with his friends while grilling; his buddies and friends are actually blue-collar workers and don't earn much.

"I want Kendrick and Jane to go to private school and I should be able to afford their tuition by now."

As soon as Stan finished speaking, his group of friends were a little envious and a little uproarious.People are divided into groups, these friends of Stan are basically not in a good financial situation, and the other is that these people are generally serious about their work.

Generally, schools in the United States are divided into two types: public and private, and public is naturally government-funded; just because of the huge educational activities and burdens, the quality of education in many public schools is actually relatively average.

As for private schools, the main source of funding is to collect tuition fees from students, which are usually much higher than public schools. The other side relies on alumni donations. Generally, alumni will donate a relatively large amount. are better than public schools.

"Stan, you just bought the house and you still owe the bank money. If you send both kids to private schools, it's going to put a lot of pressure on your finances."

Stan didn't care because he had confidence, "I want them to receive a better education, I want them to be admitted to a good university and get a better job."

It’s just that Stan’s words didn’t seem to be very convincing, so his friend said, “But I know that many Ivy League graduates may not earn more than you, and your job is really great! And I heard Say, your boss doesn't seem to be a graduate of a prestigious university, he's just a rancher."

Stan has something to say, and there are many things to say, "He was an international student before, but he dropped out of school because of some things. We don't need to doubt his grades. And we all know that some college students are under great employment pressure, but we must Let them go to a good university, I know not everyone has the chance to get my job."

It's true, not everyone has the opportunity to get a good job, especially when the job doesn't necessarily look like a high-tech job.

It is also true that it is the same in many places now. It is not so easy for college students to find a satisfactory job.It just has to be admitted that if you have a good diploma, it also means that you have a good background to a certain extent, and it will be relatively easier to find a job. This is indeed a very good stepping stone.

For the Greg family, the fate-changing thing may be that they found a good job. For them, working for Zhang Hao is the best job, because before they could not believe that they could have the current salary, Live the life they have now, because they're not naive anymore, because they both know how hard it is to get a good job, especially a cowboy like them.

It is necessary to keep the current job well, because they earn more, and because they know that their positions can actually be replaced, and they can be sure how easy it is to find some cowboys who are not inferior to them.

Therefore, this job must be kept. This is an excellent opportunity to change the fate of the family, and it is also because it is difficult for them to imagine living the tight and bitter life they used to have.

It is really difficult to find a good job. If you want to live a good life, you need to pay more attention to your current job, especially when you see a bright future and see that your future life will become better and better. Naturally, you need to be more serious tried.

Zhang Hao is still very satisfied with his current life, of course he also knows that his employees are living a good life now; there is no need to pay special attention to these, because Zhang Hao knows that he is a good boss, he is eating meat Sometimes, the employees under him can actually get some soup.

This is not such a difficult decision for Zhang Hao, he also thinks that he should do this, and in fact he did.Because this not only makes the employees under him feel grateful to Dade, but the most important thing is that it can make the ranch and horse farm run more smoothly, which is also in Zhang Hao's interest, no doubt!

The Gregg family is very happy now that they have moved into their new home as their life is getting better now.

The same is true for Zhang Hao. He has been solving the problem of food and clothing for a while; now he cannot be said to be well-off, but a thoroughly rich life, comfortable and comfortable. This is Zhang Hao's family. life.

When the elder brother and his family came to the ranch, they would naturally not just visit the new house. There are actually many interesting games to do in the ranch, and there are also many attractive places here.

Of course, it is also because everyone is no stranger to life on the ranch now, because everyone is becoming more and more capable; under such circumstances, there are naturally more interesting games worth experiencing.

For example, riding a horse, now Zhang Hao's elder brother's family can ride a horse; the little girl Yoyo is no longer satisfied and just rides around on a pony like her younger sister, because the younger sister is a child, and Yoyo is an older child!
