Chapter 138: Heart Racing

  Wrote down the things to buy on a small note, tidied up, brought Wusong and Teddy with him, arrived at the warehouse, put Wusong and Teddy in the passenger seat, drove his own GMC to town for a big purchase. Not only did he want to buy some Thanksgiving food, but also wanted to add some winter clothes for himself. Just thinking about relying on the clothes he brought was not enough to get through this winter in Montana.

  Arrived at the supermarket parking lot, found many people buying things for the holiday, cars everywhere, drove around for a while before finding a place to park, left a small gap on both sides of the car window so that Teddy and Wu Song wouldn't get stuffy inside, got out of the car, closed the door, ready to go shopping at the supermarket.

  Just got off the car and didn't walk far, heard a crisp sound: "Hey! An".

  As soon as he turned around, he saw Diana waving at him with a smile, getting off the driver's seat. "Hey! Long time no see, didn't expect to run into you here!" Before he could finish his sentence, Lily's little head popped out of the car window and said with a grin: "Hey An, what a coincidence!"

  Jū ān followed the mischievous girl and greeted her. Then, she saw Lily jump out of the car and say to Jū ān and Dàinā: "You two go to the supermarket, I have a date today and I'm in a hurry, so I won't chat with you. By the way, ān, after Dàinā finishes shopping, please send her back home, it looks like you're free anyway."

  As soon as Lily said that, Ju An nodded and agreed to send Diana back later. Then he looked at Lily carefully. Lily's hair was neatly braided, with light makeup on her face. She wore a pair of high brown boots, tight jeans, and a short brown coat with a floral scarf, which made her look very pretty.

  Looking at An who was looking at herself, Lily turned around and asked: "An, how is it?"

  Ju An hastily raised his thumb and praised: "Great, that little guy is a lucky guy. In the words of us Chinese people, it's beautiful!"

  Then he followed Lili's request to recite the sentence, taught it several times until she learned it, and then got back on the car with a smile, started the engine and drove away.

  Diana looked at Lily's back and smiled, saying: "Then thank you, today is Lily's first date with this boy, the boy attends university in the east, Rui Zi herself also went out with her boyfriend, so I had to send her over, sat in the car and asked me all the way if she was pretty or not".

  "It seems that Lily really likes that boy, good luck to him, he's going to have a headache with this clever girl. What about you, why didn't you bring your boyfriend?" Ju An said with a smile.

  "More than half a year ago, I dated a boyfriend for a few days before breaking up. I'm not interested in those boastful kids. By the way, how are you and Molly doing? Is she coming back for Thanksgiving?" Diana and Ju An chatted while walking together.

  "Her vacation is very short, I heard that the crew is rushing for time, she won't be back for Thanksgiving this year."

  Diana smiled and said: "Then let's go, by the way what are you planning to buy today."

  When Diana asked, Ju An took out his own small note from his pocket and handed it to Diana: "It's all listed on this, if there's anything missing, I was thinking of asking the store clerk."

  Diana glanced at the small piece of paper in her hand, smiled and handed it back to Ju An: "It's really not a few things, but you're lucky today. If you want to buy something for Thanksgiving, ask me, I'm also here to buy some snacks."

  "Has your family bought a turkey?" Ju An asked strangely.

  "Haha! You forgot that our family runs a farm, we have some turkeys at home, no need to buy, every Thanksgiving doesn't use these things, wait until next year when your ranch also raises some. Besides the townspeople, there are several farmers who come to buy turkeys, it's just you being special." Diana said with a smile, looking at Ju An.

  Come to think of it, only a half-baked rancher like myself would think of buying turkey from the supermarket.

  Two people entered the supermarket, whereupon they each took a shopping cart. Diana picked up a small basket from the side and put it in the shopping cart before entering the supermarket together. After a while, Diana had finished buying her own snacks, and the two of them began to purchase household items for Yu An.

  Arriving at the frozen food section, An chose three twenty-something-pound turkeys and put them in the shopping cart. Diana, who was standing next to her, looked on in shock, patted the three large turkeys in the cart, and laughed as she asked: "An, each of these turkeys is enough for ten people, does the ranch have that many people?"

  "Now my farm is divided into two pieces, with a turkey on each side, and the remaining one is for Teddy and the dogs to have a Thanksgiving too."

  "Teddy? Isn't that the little bear, Jasmine mentioned it to me, what a cute guy!" Diana said.

  "Jū An nodded and said: 'This guy is only cute now, every day he just eats and plays, and is also extremely timid'."

  "All young animals are timid, and when Teddy grows up, he won't be. The brown bear is the king of the mountain forest, even if a pack of wolves encounters an adult male bear, they will generally choose to retreat." Diana comforted with a smile.

  "Living comfortably nodded and said: 'If it's really good, at least when you grow up, you can help with some work, instead of being a bottomless pit that eats and drinks for free all day, always hungry.' Diana heard a burst of light laughter."

  Next thing they did was to chat and shop together side by side, Diana took Jian to the supermarket, whenever she saw something, she would ask if Jian's family had it at home, if not, she would put it in the shopping cart, then tell Jian what this thing is for. After selecting a big circle, Jian's shopping cart was already full of stuff: three large turkeys, two large hams, potatoes, green beans, sweet potatoes, jam-filled small breads, and breadcrumbs stuffed into the turkey's belly, plus crackers and other pre-dinner snacks, even cheese was selected in two kinds, one is suitable for American taste, another kind is specially chosen to suit Chinese taste. While taking things, Diana kept telling Jian how to roast a turkey, how to make American-style green beans, mashed potatoes, and so on, Jian's job was just to listen with his ears and push the cart following Diana.

  。

  Looking at Diana standing in front of the shelf, holding two jars of jam, frowning and considering which one is better, then asking Ju'an without lifting her head: "Ju'an, do you prefer sweet or salty?" Ju'an suddenly felt a stir in his heart, thinking blankly for a moment, and then blurted out: "Diana, have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?"

  "Diana listened for a moment and then said, 'I've thought about it, staying at the farm at home, taking care of the farm. I don't really like city life, I think farm life suits me.'"

  He let out an "oh" and didn't say anything else.

  Diana held up two jars of jam and looked at Ju An, asking: "Which one do you like better, the sweeter one or the lighter one?"

  "Make it a bit lighter, I'm not too fond of sweet things."

  Diana smiled happily and took two more jars of jam from the shelf, putting them in the cart. Then she turned to Ju An and said: "It's similar to mine. When I was a kid, I used to eat Chinese food at my grandfather's house, so I'm used to spicy and salty things. My family is like that too. My father originally liked sweet foods, but my mother and sisters didn't like them, so he gradually got used to eating less sweet things." After finishing speaking, she patted her hand, then walked forward without looking back, one hand pulling the cart and the other holding onto her bag strap, saying: "Let's go take a look up front." She pulled twice, finding it a bit heavy. Turning around, she saw Ju An spacing out and laughed, saying: "Hey! What are you staring at so absent-mindedly?"

  "It's nothing, I just thought of something and got a bit distracted."

  Diana smiled and said, "You're not looking at that beautiful woman, are you?" After saying that, she looked around and found that they were mostly middle-aged women, so she pulled the cart again. This time it was much easier for Diana.

  Two people finished selecting food, pushed the cart to the side, and just as An was opening the car door, Diana discovered Teddy sprawled out on the passenger seat, fast asleep. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he lifted his chubby head towards the entrance, saw a strange face, and slowly sat up. He stretched out a front paw and let out a small roar to greet Diana, who immediately exclaimed: "An, can I pet it? It's so cute!"

  Here is the translation:

  While moving things from the shopping cart to the car, Ju An said: "It's okay, it never catches people or bites them, and its temper is good. It's a self-introduced type that likes to play with people." Before she finished speaking, Diana touched Teddy's small round ear on his forehead and smiled at Ju An, saying: "Little ears, so soft and fleshy." As soon as Teddy's ear was touched, he stretched out his two small front paws to try to open Diana's hand. Jasmine put down her hand and scratched Teddy's belly, then started playing with him. Wu Song stood on the side, pointing at Teddy and making a "squeaking" sound towards Ju An, tattling on him. Ju An stuck out her head to take a look and found that Teddy had left a big puddle of drool on the seat. It was probably left over from when he was sleeping just now. She asked Diana to help get some paper towels from the box in front of the car and handed them to Wu Song, who started wiping down the seat while making "squeaking" sounds at Teddy, expressing his discontent.

  After putting away the things in the shopping cart and closing the door, Wu Song had almost wiped clean the saliva on the front seat. Ju An grabbed two more tissues to wipe it again before letting Diana get in the car. The two of them continued driving to pick out winter clothes for Ju An.
