Little Life on An American Ranch

  Chapter 323 The Influence of Bearskin

  Jian Heng stretched out his hand, patted his belly beautifully, and snorted contentedly. For Chinese people like Jian Heng, even if they go to Daya Haijiao, the best meal in the world is still cooked by their mother, because it is not just a meal, but a childhood memory.

"Come on, eat a little more, look at how thin you are in the United States!" Sun Xiuying saw her son eating like this, her eyes narrowed into a line. For a Chinese mother, Jian Heng's current state may be What she is most satisfied with is watching her son eat and pat his stomach, which seems to be her greatest achievement.

   Speaking of which, Sun Xiuying put another piece of sauerkraut beef in Jian Heng's bowl.

"By the way, mom, how do we make the sauerkraut here?" Jian Heng tried to eat the contents of the bowl again, but when he put it to his mouth, he suddenly felt that he had eaten his throat and couldn't eat any more. Only then did he put down the chopsticks.

After hearing this, Sun Xiuying said: "Put high-bangzi cabbage in a pot and boil it (in local dialect, it means once), then put it in the tank and press it with stones, and finally just wait quietly for a month." .

Jian Zhenhua then interrupted and said: "It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do. You have to grasp the heat, and if you don't pay attention, it will either be rotten or rotten. You should stop thinking about this thing. When you want to eat it, wait until you eat it. Mom will help you get a tank."

Ning Ning didn't have the time to intervene at this time. While eating, she stared at her brother with big round eyes, and smiled at the same time, because the little girl was thinking about what gift her brother would have later for myself.

  Sun Xiuying saw that her son was indeed full, so she didn't have any thoughts about her son in her heart. Naturally, the topic turned to the mother who was suspected of being a grandson.

   "Xiao Heng, what do you mean when you say that the barley and wheat are all your girlfriend?" Sun Xiuying asked.

  Ning Ning interjected at this time: "Mom, you are so stupid, my brother has two girlfriends! I know it all!"

   After speaking, the little girl gave her mother a sideways glance, her face full of disdain.

  Sun Xiuying stretched out her hand and twisted Ningning's little ear: "You are the only one who is smart!"

  The little girl giggled, tilted her head and hid.

"It's not that complicated. Aren't they twins? They're different from others. As long as they are separated, both of them will feel very uncomfortable. So I decided that the two of them will be together with one person in this life. Now this person It's your son and me, it's as simple as that." Jian Heng leaned on the back of the chair and said, stroking his stomach.

  Sun Xiuying asked a little worried: "Then what do their families think?"

  Sun Xiuying felt that if it was her, she would definitely not be willing, so she was a little worried about what Damaimai's family would think.

Jian Zhenhua said slowly while holding the vegetables: "I said, what are you worried about? You think Americans are like us in China. They always worry about this and that for their children. When their children reach the age of 18, they are kicked out of the house." , don’t ask any questions!”

   "You have been to the United States, what you said is the same as you have been!" Sun Xiuying immediately retorted.

   Jian Heng saw that the two were about to bicker again, and immediately said, "Mom, you don't know what gift I brought you back this time."

"what?"

   When facing her son, Sun Xiuying immediately put on a smiling face, which was completely different from the cold eyes she had when facing her wife.

   "Guess!" Jian Heng said.

  Sun Xiuying smiled and said, "How could I guess that?"

  But after saying this, Sun Xiuying was still guessing: "Clothes?"

   "No!"

   "Jewelry?"

   "It's near, let's guess again!" Jian Heng continued to pat his belly.

  The couple guessed for a long time, and then Sun Xiuying said: "Forget it, I can't guess! I'll see what a good thing it is later."

  Jian Heng smiled and stood up from the chair: "Don't wait a while, I'll go downstairs and get the things up now."

  Ning Ning regained his energy immediately upon hearing this, pushed the bowl, raised his hand and said loudly: "I want to go too, I want to go too!"

  Sun Xiuying saw that there was still more than half a bowl of rice in her daughter's bowl, and immediately glared at her.

  Just this one glance, the little girl immediately pouted and sat back on the chair honestly. After grabbing the bowl, she said to Jian Heng: "Brother, wait for me!"

   "Okay, I'll wait for you to get the gift together!" Jian Heng smiled and stood at the door of the restaurant.

  Sun Xiuying turned her head to look at her son when she saw her daughter taking a bite of rice, and immediately said to Jian Heng: "Sit down quickly, or your sister will break her little neck after this meal is finished!"

Seeing the little girl twisting her neck constantly, Jian Heng also found it funny. Children have zero resistance to gifts, especially a little girl like Ning Ning, who has been looking forward to her brother's return since her brother left, is even more impatient now. After waiting, the food tasted like chewing meat in my mouth.

   After finally eating all the rice in the bowl, the little girl wiped her bulging mouth, causing the rice grains on her mouth to spill on the ground with a small mouthful of rice.

But fortunately, there is a black tiger, so there is no waste. The black tiger waited for Ning Ning to move, and immediately stood beside Ning Ning. Seeing the rice grains falling, he stretched out his tongue and rolled it a few times, and the rice grains on the floor tiles disappeared. , The skill of the movements shows that there is no lack of practice in ordinary times.

   Trotting all the way, Ning Ning rushed down the stairs with the black tiger, and Jian Heng also ran after him, telling the little girl to slow down while running, so as not to fall.

   Fortunately, he went downstairs safely. When he arrived in the yard, Jian Heng opened the back of the car and began to take gifts out.

   "Bear! Bear!" The little girl stretched out her head, and immediately came face to face with the head of the big bear in the carriage. After the little girl screamed, she immediately turned and ran upstairs, shouting "Bear, Bear" as she ran.

  Heihu was even more eager to protect his lord. He took two steps back and barked at the bear's head. Heihu's barking attracted the dogs of the neighbor's house, and immediately there were dogs barking all around.

   "It's not a live bear, it's a dead bear, a dead bear, but even a car can't hide a real bear!" Jian Heng hurriedly shouted at the little girl's back.

  But the little girl couldn't hear it at this time, and she jumped up to the second floor like a little lightning. She seemed to feel a little safer when she reached the second floor, and she leaned on the window sill and looked into the yard.

  The little girl's cry scared Sun Xiuying and Jian Zhenhua who were in the room and ran out quickly.

   "What's the matter, what's the matter!" Jian Zhenhua hugged the girl in his arms and kept asking.

  Sun Xiuying looked at her daughter with concern on her face. Although she was usually a little stricter, Sun Xiuying certainly loved her old daughter.

   "Bear, bear!" Ning Ning stretched out her little finger and pointed to the yard.

  Jian Heng had already taken out the bearskin mattress at this time, propped it on his hands and said to the second floor: "Dad, isn't your leg a little uncomfortable, I made a bearskin mattress for you!"

   "What a big bear!" Jian Zhenhua and Sun Xiuying blurted out in surprise as soon as they saw the bear's head.

  The fur of this bear is spread out like a bed sheet, the same kind of big bed sheet, the whole fur color is shiny under the light, it looks so beautiful.

  Because of the little girl's cry, some nearby neighbors also stretched out their heads to see the commotion. Seeing Jian Heng propping up such a big bear skin in the yard, all of them suddenly lost their voices.

The bear skin in the United States keeps the head, that is, the bear’s head remains the same, so even if the big bear is dead now, the original power is still there. Don’t say anything else, just look at this huge bear. You can feel how brave it is when it is alive.

Bears like this are almost invincible on earth except for humans. This is the peak weight that a bear can reach in the wild. If it weren't for Old Walsh, he wouldn't have persuaded Jian Heng to keep the entire bear skin . Now this bear is supported by Jian Heng in the yard, with its **** mouth, that posture is really envious of the neighbors.

   When she saw clearly that it was a dead bear, the little girl twisted her waist again to slip out of Jian Zhenhua's arms, and ran downstairs.

  Jian Zhenhua and Sun Xiuying were also curious, so they followed their daughter downstairs.

   When he got downstairs, Jian Heng gave the bear skin to his father, while he took other gifts.

   "Mom, this is the rhino horn comb I brought you, this is for Ningning..." Jian Heng turned his head and found that no one was paying attention to him, and all three of them were focusing on the bear skin. Jian Zhenhua and Sun Xiuying pressed the bear's skin, while the little girl Ningning stretched out her little hand, looking at the bear's head with a little fear but also a little curiosity, poking the bear's head with her little finger from time to time.

  The black tiger was two meters away, staring at the bear's head and keeping vigilant, as if waiting for the owner to rush to the savior if he was in danger.

  Just when Jian Heng was about to say something, the gate of the yard opened, and Jian Anan's family of three walked into the yard.

"Brother, wow, what a big bear!" As soon as Jian Anan entered the door, she originally wanted to talk to Jian Heng, but when she saw the huge bear skin in her parents' hands, she immediately forgot about her brother, and went directly to touch it. bearskin.

   "Where did this come from?" Jian Anan asked.

   "Where else can it come from? Your brother said that your father's legs are not good in winter, so he did it!" Sun Xiuying said proudly.

  Jian Anan asked Jian Heng: "Brother, isn't this thing expensive?"

"There are a lot of bears, but it is very difficult to find such a big bear now, so if you want to find such a bear skin, it cannot be said that it is hard to come by, but it is not far from it! It takes countless conditions to grow in the wild. Such a bear skin," Jian Heng replied.

   "Oh, it's so good!" Jian Anan said.

   After finishing speaking, he seemed to think of something, turned his head to Jian Heng and said, "Xiao Heng, my father-in-law has a little arthritis, do you still have bear skin like this?"

   "Sister, I don't run a bear farm, so there is such a bear skin!" Jian Heng said.

At this time, Jian Heng glanced at his mother, and found that his mother's face was a little unhappy. Although the unhappiness was only fleeting, it was still caught by Jian Heng, so Jian Heng directly rejected it. sister's request.

  Jian Heng naturally understood why his mother was unhappy, because she thought her daughter's elbow was abducted!
