Rural life in America

Chapter 258
Christina is very concerned about creating an animal protection fund, and she thinks this matter is very meaningful.

Because the tax can be reduced, because Zhang Hao is very interested in many animals; since it is good for the family, and the fiancé is also very interested in these, it seems worthwhile to Christina.

She and her colleagues are helping to straighten things out for the Animal Defense Fund, and they're getting some success.

Zhang Hao doesn't know much about legal matters, but it's not that he can't read at all, not to mention that Christina is helping to explain.

"We will donate some money, but we all know that money, if not donated, it will be handed over to the Internal Revenue Service. You can choose several animals, and the money will be used to protect and study some wild animals. You can specify What the money will be used for."

Zhang Hao felt very satisfied with Christina's explanation, "It looks pretty good, and I really want to do it. Till tigers, I think I am very interested in tigers, and I seem to know them very well. Can I bring the tiger back to raise it, Tyson raised a tiger before, and Shaquille O'Neal seems to have raised it too!"

Christina slapped her with a slap, and Zhang Hao leaned back decisively to avoid it, with lingering fear in his heart.

Christina widened her eyes and warned seriously, "I know that some people here will raise tigers, and I also know that some rich people in the Middle East will raise tigers and leopards. But I don't allow these, I have reached the limit now , otherwise I will feel insecure and will be a threat to our children."

Zhang Hao explained, "No problem, I think it's no problem. I'm sure I won't catch a tiger and bring it home. I'll definitely want those who are smart and spiritual. Believe me, there will be no danger." .”

Christina looked at Zhang Hao contemptuously, expressing deep doubts. She thought it was better to keep an eye on Zhang Hao, lest this guy really raise a tiger or a lion at home one day, and now it is really possible to have such signs.

This guy Zhang Hao is getting more and more "wild" now, plus the family's financial situation is good, and the ranch has a lot of space, so now this guy has to keep an eye on him, otherwise Christina will really suspect One day when I opened the door, I saw a tiger walking around the house.

He and Christina are still discussing charity matters. Although the general framework is in place now, it still needs some time and some more professional people to help. It is not yet time for specific implementation.

It's one thing to think long-term, but it's another thing to be more professional; Zhang Hao is not in a hurry at all, he has seen the beginning of this matter now, and he has indeed found something more interesting now.

After getting in touch with those guys from Oregon State University, Zhang Hao now says that he is more interested in some animals in Asia.You can't just say that you plan to study those animals. Asian tigers are tigers, but there are several subspecies and classifications.For example, it is true that lions originated in the African continent, but there are also lions in India, which is also the territory of Asia.

Probably they all belong to the cat family, but the specific species are different; although Zhang Hao dare not pat his chest and say that he knows every animal like the back of his hand, he feels that he still knows something, and many animal habits have some commonalities , especially those belonging to the same family.

The little boy Xixi was arguing to see the tiger, and the little girl wanted to see the lion; because Xixi who was playing next to her just now heard her parents talking about tigers, so she would not be afraid. Now the little girl is encouraging, I want my dad to catch a tiger and bring it back.

What is ignorance and fearlessness, Xixi is a typical example; she thought that tigers and lions were as temperless as big-faced cats, and she thought that all small animals would accommodate her like Luobo and the others.

It’s unrealistic, of course it’s impossible to think about catching a tiger back at this time; Zhang Hao didn’t just catch any animal he thought was interesting and fun, he still wanted to see if those animals had potential and were smart enough, or else he would bring them back The threat to his family was too great, and Zhang Hao couldn't bear such a risk.

For example, Luo Bo and Big Face Cat, if they are not smart and spiritual enough, Zhang Hao will definitely not bring them back.It is precisely because they know that they are smart enough and some unique technologies are the reason why they can live steadily in the pasture.

Zhang Hao, who was in a good mood, asked those zoologists to help him find a reliable animal charity organization, and he was going to sponsor some research institutions; of course, this was in the name of charity, and of course it was to bring some benefits to Zhang Hao, no doubt !
This is very good, for Zhang Hao, he saved some money and can do things he is interested in; for those at Oregon State University, it was a sponsor, although the requirements of this sponsor were relatively high. There are many, but at any rate, it has created some help for their research, at least some help in terms of financial resources.

Seeing Xixi dancing with her little butt twisted, Zhang Hao ran over, patted the little girl's little butt, hugged the little girl and kissed her hard.

"Xixi, Dad helped you find a university, and you will have a university to study in the future."

Xixi laughed childishly, the happy little girl put her arms around her father's neck, and kissed her father several times in a row, but her mouth sank as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Dad, I don't like school, I won't go."

Hey, that’s not right, isn’t it true that many children who haven’t read books yearn to go to school with their small schoolbags on their backs? Why come to my precious daughter, who hasn’t read a book yet, and is already tired of studying, which is wrong.

Zhang Hao asked curiously, "Xixi, why don't you go to school, there are many children in school."

Although Xixi spoke in a childish voice, she said in a serious manner, "Sister, sister said reading is not fun."

Well, this is the bad head of the little girl Yoyo, and she is a bad example; after a long chat with the little girl, she finally knows what Xixi has learned from her sister.

It's one thing that reading is not fun, but you have to sit in the classroom and can't go out to run, and the teacher is so fierce.
In short, in Yoyo's view, reading is not fun at all; as for Xixi, she has always regarded her sister as an idol, and she is her little follower.Since my sister said that reading is not fun, it must not be fun.

Zhang Hao can't laugh or cry, but this matter is not urgent now; although there are many nurseries and kindergartens in the United States, Zhang Hao is not in a hurry to send Xixi to the nursery at all.

After all, because Zhang Hao has time, Xixi can have fun at home, anyway, someone will take care of her at home.As for Xixi, if she gets older, she will definitely be sent to kindergarten or elementary school, but not now, sending children to school too early may not be a good thing.

Yu Xiu was very happy because she saw a future college student in her family, "If you invest your money in their side, Xixi will definitely enter that college in the future?"

Zhang Hao nodded and said with certainty, "No problem. I have cooperated with them. If Xixi goes to university in the future, Oregon State University will definitely lower the threshold for Xixi. Most universities in the United States That's it, our family Xixi is naturally considered a high-quality student source."

Zhang Jianye, who was drinking tea at the side, suddenly asked, "That university seems to be very ordinary, can you find a better university, like an ivy, it is very good, the top university. Tina studied The school is also very good, and Berkeley is among the top ten.”

Zhang Hao sweated, and explained in a speechless way, "Dad, you have too much appetite. You really want Xixi to go to Harvard and Yale, it's unrealistic. I can't do anything about Berkeley. I have nothing to do with them. How many contacts; for Tina, by the way, are you considered a well-known alumni of theirs, is it possible for our children to become a high-quality student source for competition?"

When Christina, who had nothing to do, was a little embarrassed when she heard it, she became angry from embarrassment, "Me? I can only be regarded as a very ordinary graduate, just a very ordinary alumni. I can't guarantee that they will care about my relationship, I don't I can guarantee that they will list Xixi as a high-quality student source."

This is the reality. It is indeed very popular in the United States to pay attention to alumni, and there is indeed a family in the United States that has the same alma mater for generations.

But Christina is not such a high-quality alumni now, and she hasn't gotten much attention yet.On the Berkeley side, it is naturally impossible to open the door for Christina.

Zhang Hao feels that his father's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, maybe this is also a manifestation of his growing self-confidence, because he knows that the conditions at home are getting better and better.

"Dad, let's forget about ivy and the like. I can't guarantee that those people still look down on me now. It would be great if there is a chance. Of course it would be a good thing to send Xixi to a better school. But Oregon State University is also good, a first-tier national university, ranked around [-], which is pretty good. Guaranteed, our family Xixi guarantees to go to a school with around [-]."

Yu Xiu smiled happily, "That's better than you, you used to be almost like a pheasant university."

Zhang Hao couldn't help but want to complain, he had to complain, after having Xixi, Zhang Hao found that his status continued to decline, "How come the pheasant university is not well-known. Besides, I was admitted based on my strength." Yes, our Xixi will be reincarnated, this is through the back door."

Squeezing Xixi's little face, this little girl really knows how to reincarnate.

Seeing Zhang Hao's flustered look, Zhang Jianye laughed and joked, "You are so good, why did you let Xixi and your mother suffer with you for two years?"

Uh, this topic is really embarrassing, and it's really a bit difficult to answer; the family's conditions are very good now, but two years ago, it was really tight or there was not much hope in sight.

But it doesn't matter, Zhang Hao was full of spirits, "It was just a hard time, we made it through! Our life will get better and better, and we have come to the end of our hardships! Xixi, go give Dad that bottle of wine, Dad wants to celebrate!"

Xixi ran to open the refrigerator and took a can of beer and a bottle of juice; to celebrate Xixi is good at it, she toasted her father with the juice, the little girl was so happy!
