Rural life in America

Chapter 497
Zhang Hao and Christina took the children to Portland, because Christina went back to her mother's house, and also because she took the children to visit the big city, and she couldn't stay in the ranch all the time.

Adrian is very excited to go home, he is busy with his friends, he has to hurry up; in the rest of the summer vacation, he still needs to continue training, there is not so much time, so naturally he has to hurry up Go fooling around.

Xixi and Xiaolang were very happy. When they arrived at the grandparents’ house, they first acted like little experts and commented on the bamboos; one said the bamboos were beautiful, and the other said that the bamboos were very big. There were many opinions, but one point There are not so many more correct ones, but the two little guys said what they wanted to say on their own.

Zhang Hao is sitting in the living room, and this is not the first time his son-in-law has come to visit. Naturally, there is nothing to be nervous about, and he can relax completely. Basically, it is exactly the same as at home, and there is no need to be restrained.

"I don't like instant coffee at all now, instant coffee is convenient, they are convenient, but it ruins the taste. I can taste a little bit different now, I talked to Frank a lot, he taught me a lot of tasting Coffee technique, I've become a pretty good coffee taster now."

Hearing Zhang Hao boasting so hard, Mark snorted, "Of course, I know you have a lot of good coffee. But I also chatted with Kate about you, and you look more like a nouveau riche. Boy, you don't understand at all Coffee, you only see their fame, you only see their price!"

Zhang Hao got angry and wanted to defend himself strongly; but suddenly he lacked confidence, because what the old man said was quite reasonable, because Zhang Hao was still obsessed with coffee, but it was just a hobby.

There is really a big difference between hobbies and expertise. Hobbies are likely to be quite a layman, but the focus is on participation; in terms of professionalism, it really has nothing to do with Zhang Hao, at least he is just getting a glimpse of the way now. Really do not understand!
Xixi ran in, picked up a crystal pear, and began to gnaw on it; the fruit killer was well-deserved, Xixi likes to eat snacks, and is a fanatic about fruits. It really is impossible to live without fruits.

As for the little wolf, he ran in following his sister, the little guy was his sister's follower; seeing his sister eating fruit, the little guy followed suit and picked up a crystal pear and began to eat it.

"Little wolf, you can't eat a pear!" Christina was a little anxious, and she was speechless when she saw the little wolf, "Little wolf, give the pear to mom, and I will share a pear with you."

The little wolf holding the pear ran away, leaving his back to his mother, "I will share it with my father. Daddy eats the pear, and Daddy eats!"

Zhang Hao laughed and said proudly to Christina, "See, my son knows that I like pears. I am very happy. It seems that the little wolf still cares about his father."

Christina snorted coldly, determined not to believe it.

Xixi ate up her pears very quickly, and one pear did not put any pressure on Xixi.

Now the pressure is all on Zhang Hao's side, because the little wolf handed over the pear; the little guy gnawed the pear in a mess, not to mention the pits, and the saliva and juice were everywhere.

Such a pear is an ordinary person who really loses their appetite when they see it, and they really don't have the courage to eat it.

But Zhang Hao is not under any pressure. Although the appearance is very poor, but this is the pear eaten by the fat son. Zhang Hao really will not dislike his son or daughter.So, I gnawed this miserable-looking pear three or two times, and then handed it to the little wolf; the little guy obediently threw away the pear, and the division of labor and cooperation is obvious!

The family was chatting, and Zhang Hao and Christina were talking about some family matters, which were basically trivial matters, including some interesting stories about the children.And Mark and Kate are also listening, talking about their understanding of family life, and talking about their experience.

This is the time for the family to chat greedily. Now Zhang Hao and Christina are more willing to sit down and have a good chat with the elders. They think this is a very good thing.As for a boy like Adrian, staying at home all day feels like a torment, and he can't wait to spend time outside every day.

The two little guys were lying on the sofa and playing happily, playing their games on their own.

For children, playing games is actually easy to understand; they can have fun when they have toys and playmates, and even if there are no toys, the little ones can happily find their favorite games Way.

Patting Xixi's little butt, Zhang Hao said, "Xixi, take my brother to wash his hands, we are going to go out to play."

The little wolf was happy, and ran to wash his hands with his sister up and down; the little ones liked going out to play very much.Playing games at the ranch is different than walking around town, and the little ones certainly loved it.

Xixi fastened his brother's seat belt, pinched his little face and said, "Brother, say goodbye to grandpa and grandma."

The little wolf remembered, and immediately waved his little hands to his grandpa and grandma outside the window, "grandpa, grandma, bye!"

After the goodbye, the little guy immediately remembered, "Dad, I want Optimus Prime! I want to transform!"

Zhang Hao, who was driving, was under a lot of pressure. The little guy's toys have been upgraded now. "Really? Do you still have pocket money?"

The little wolf stretched out his little hand, slapped him in the face, and put up two fingers. He couldn't count, "Dad, I have a lot of money."

Xixi grabbed his younger brother's hand, seeing that his younger brother couldn't stretch his fingers fluently, he was very stressed, "Brother, you still have three pocket money, and you can buy three toys!"

Zhang Hao was happy, and asked Xixi, "Xixi, how much pocket money do you have?"

Xixi was happy, and immediately became proud, "Dad, I still have five pocket money!"

Yo, it looks like this is really going to 'break the money', it seems that now it is really going to satisfy Xixi's crazy shopping ideal.Needless to say, the little girl is seizing the opportunity, she is going to a big city to do crazy shopping, she is completely following her mother, she is going to spend all her money at once, and she wants to bring back big and small bags.

In fact, Zhang Hao and Christina are not stingy at all, and the amount of pocket money given to the children is not limited to some extent.

Children's pocket money is in units of 'a', two pocket money a week; doing housework and receiving praise will increase the pocket money.But, if you make a mistake, your pocket money will be deducted...

So in general, a one-dollar toy is an pocket money, and a thousand-dollar toy is also an pocket money; if it is something special and the price is really expensive, then it is two or three pocket money.

It's not that Zhang Hao and Christina are stingy, but that they hope to slowly cultivate some consumption concepts in their children.It is true that the family is not short of money, but there are really too many good things in this world, and it is really necessary to spend money recklessly, no matter how much money there is, it can actually be squandered.

Therefore, it is better to cultivate the children's consumption concept a little bit; the pocket money system has also slowly started to be implemented. Little Wolf still often doesn't understand the situation, but Xixi can basically understand it and implement it well.

Xixi still has a lot of pocket money, because in addition to the fixed amount every week, it is also because Xixi is very diligent, she can do housework and take care of her younger brother.From a very young age, Xixi has prepared Luobo's and the others' meals. Xixi is also very proficient in things like washing the overlord, and her ability to earn pocket money is still very good.

As for the little wolf, in fact, this little guy's pocket money is not too small, because he can't spend it as fast as his sister.As for how the little wolf earns pocket money, it mainly focuses on getting praise and helping his father wash the car; however, he is often deducted pocket money for being naughty, and basically all the pocket money he earns will be deducted.

Zhang Hao and Christina were shopping with the two little guys, but soon Zhang Hao was sitting in the rest area chatting with the little wolf in his arms, and the little wolf was pinching his father's nails boredly.

As for Christina, she went to buy clothes; Xixi is happily working as a little model, she is going to wear beautiful new clothes now, and now she is going to try them on happily.

Zhang Hao hugged his sleepy fat son very helplessly, and complained to Christina, "You and Xixi wore several sets of clothes, but didn't buy any of them. You have to think about the feelings of me and Xiaolang, it's really boring !"

Christina was very insincere and didn't think there was a problem at all, "Honey, don't you think Xixi is very happy? I think Xixi is very happy. I am cultivating the gentlemanly demeanor of the little wolf. I believe that when he grows up Will definitely go shopping with girls, I don't want my son to be as boring as you!"

Zhang Hao was dumbfounded, extremely depressed, "Do you think I'm the only one who is bored with shopping? My dear, look at the rest area. There are many men like me there. We are in a daze, looking at mobile phones or chatting. My It's a disaster for my son to wait for the rest area at such a young age!"

Looking at Zhang Hao like a fool, Christina plausibly said, "Isn't it because you didn't play a good role model that caused this scene? My dear, if Xiaolang is not like you, he will definitely enjoy it." What a joy to shop, he sure would make a great gentleman!"

Well, Zhang Hao can now see that all his mistakes are his fault. It seems that this matter cannot be the fault of Christina and Xixi at all. This is completely caused by Zhang Hao, the culprit. influences!
Well, we can only accept these, we can only accept this reality!
