Chapter 65: Wang Fan's Helplessness

  Since returning from Diana's birthday party, Jia'an added three new friends on MSN - Lily, Diana and Ruzi. Lily, who is outgoing and lively by nature, isn't too fond of farm work. From their conversations, Jia'an feels that she yearns for city life, going to parties every night after work, which suits her taste more. Generally, whenever Jia'an goes online at night, he can find Lily on MSN. Diana and Ruzi also play, but due to helping with the family farm and ranch, they usually only appear around 10 o'clock.

  Wang Fan has arrived from China, but this time he didn't ask Jian to pick him up at the airport. Instead, he brought two young men and they directly moved into Lily's ranch. The two young men who came from China will be studying at Lily's ranch for a while. So it was Old Jason who went to pick them up at the airport. Wang Fan had already told Jian not to bother picking him up when he arrived, so Jian just relaxed and took it easy.

  Hugged the book onto the bed, opened QQ, and sent a message in the class group: "Is anyone going to play DOTA? One person is missing from our team of four."

  Then a message came back: "Dude, it's so early to play DOTA, but I guess that's because you're in the evening and we're in the morning. Be good, go play with others."

  It's just the beginning of their work, so it can only be a stranger's room. Just as they entered the stranger's room and were matching up, a lewd avatar popped up. Ju An took a look and found out it was Wang Fan.

  "Aren't you that kid from Old Jason's ranch? How did you end up on the internet?" asked Ju An strangely.

  Wang Fan grinned from ear to ear: "Brother is smart this time, wherever he goes, he brings a notebook. Anyway, most places here have internet, I'm freeloading off Jason's Wi-Fi."

  "Hey, how's it going on your end? Have you sorted everything out and arranged a time to return home?"

  Wang Fan immediately replied, "It's all arranged. Let the two of them study for a month first. After a month, they can return to China with the selected horses. At that time, I'll also trouble Old Jason to introduce two American grooms to take care of them for a month. Tomorrow, I won't have anything to do, so you little guy come over and pick up your brother."

  "Alright, you're here for a few days this time. When are you leaving? What's Wu Ming doing in the country, busy with something? Why didn't he come over with you this time?"

  "He's been busy with this company's recruitment and website matters at home, can't leave him alone, I guess if he comes, it'll be after Lao Wu's wedding that he'll have time to come over" Wang Fan said with a smug expression.

  "I heard that little girl of yours mention it the last time I went to her place to pick something up, saying how long does it take to set up a website? Hasn't Old Fourth changed his slow and sloppy ways yet?" Ju An replied.

  Wang Fan replied, "There are still many pictures to sort out, and the company's articles of association need to be drawn up. Fourth Brother mentioned it to me once, I think it's not bad. Can't always come to Mei Di, no one at home is like letting sheep run wild. Also, Fourth Brother's family introduced him to a girlfriend, they met a few days ago, and Fourth Brother said the feeling was good."

  "What the...! Such big news and you didn't even tell me, have you seen that girl?" The gossip soul of Ju An immediately ignited.

  Wang Fan replied, "Didn't I tell you? Your online time is not fixed, sometimes east and sometimes west, who knows when you're on? Before I came, Old Fourth had just met with someone introduced by his aunt, a local girl from Jiangnan."

  "Is this reliable or not? Don't introduce a foul-mouthed little girl to Lao Si, one who can't speak three sentences without mentioning her lower body, that would be troublesome."

  Wang Fan paused for a moment before responding: "It's not that serious, after all he's a university graduate. Would his aunt introduce her own nephew to some young girl?"

  "Alright, so when should I pick you up tomorrow? After that, I also need to go to Niagara Falls City to buy some stuff. The food at home is almost gone and these foreigners here love eating bean products, they follow me every day to satisfy their cravings. The tofu and other things my senior brought last time are almost all used up, so this time I'll buy some more."

  Wang Fan immediately followed up and said, "Then let's go early, it just so happens that I'll follow you to Dashu City to take a look. Why don't you set some traps today to catch some shrimp? Last time I heard Old Fourth say that there are still river shrimp to eat in your place."

  "I know, my pond has a lot of these things, come and you'll definitely have some. If you can kill the turtle, I can even get one for you." Last time, Ju An got a small turtle, so there must be big turtles in that space's pond. According to the rules of space, maybe several generations of turtles have been produced.

  Wang Fan asked in surprise: "Wow, you have so many good things there, and this thing too. Unfortunately, I only know how to eat it, but I really don't know how to make it. It's a great tonic soup, what a pity! Wu Ming told me that he has taken an interest in a certain Western horse, is it true?"

  "Wow, this guy is so out of tune. It's just that someone invited me to their birthday party and I asked them to get me some unique small gifts from back home, but now it's become a rumor."

  Wang Fan said, "I heard Wu Ming say that the girl named Diana is quite good. He has carefully found many things for you. You're not young anymore, hurry up!"

  "Damn it, you seem to be one year older than me!" Ju An struck an angry expression.

  Wang Fan made a depressed expression: "If brother wants to get into politics, this marriage should be settled. Don't worry, my mom will take care of it. That's all I can do."

  "Ha! You're talking about arranged marriage, that's feudalistic and outdated. It's not going to bring happiness. You should carry on the revolutionary tradition and bravely fight against the forces of feudalism."

  Wang Fan irritably replied, "Don't bring it up again. Is free love necessarily good? My brother and sister-in-law were both approved by our family, their life wasn't bad either, they knew each other's roots and had the help of my wife's family, but you know what I hate most about these things. I'm just preparing to do some business, last time I mentioned it to my family, my dad gave me a few days of cold shoulder."

  "Alright, never mind that. I'll head over early tomorrow and pick you up, then we can go together. First, I'll play a few games of Dota with some strangers." Ju An replied.

  "Wait for me, I'm coming too, wait for me to get in before starting." Wang Fan followed back.

  Then the two guys played two rounds of dota, after losing twice, Ju An saw Wang Fan speaking in the group: "Fellow villagers, come to play dota, I and Anzi can't handle others, come and open black for us."

  The result led to a chorus of scolding in the group: "You two are worthless, shouting at the crack of dawn. We're all working hard, what if our boss sees us? Some people are still sleeping, and those who aren't are already playing dota."

  Two people were abused again in a game, feeling depressed and quit the game. One of them shut down the computer and entered the space.

  Nothing has changed in the space, still a ground of apple blossoms, several cows eating grass, and the rest are squatting on the lawn sleeping. This day is more relaxing than living in peace. From the yard, I took out a bamboo basket, put it into the pond, preparing to take it out tomorrow morning, and get some small fish for Wang Fan to taste the freshness.

  He flashed out of the room, went downstairs to the refrigerator and got an apple, took a big bite, and handed the bitten-off piece to Wu Song who was following him downstairs. He himself chewed on the remaining apple as he went back upstairs, did something by the bed, finished eating the apple and handed the remaining core to Wu Song. Wu Song gnawed on it for two more bites before throwing the core into the trash can, then followed Jian An into the bathroom to take a bath and sleep. It had to be admitted that Wu Song was a clean-loving monkey, taking baths twice a day, every time using shower gel, and only recognizing one green apple scent, refusing all others. Jian An had been puzzled for some time about what it meant that Wu Song always smelled like apples, but still hadn't figured anything out.

  Helped Wu Song blow dry the hair on his body, and then wiped himself clean. He jumped onto the bed, lifted up the quilt, and slipped into the bed. After giving a loud clap, the quick-witted Wu Song turned off the lights in the bedroom by himself, and then he jumped back onto the small hammock in front of the window.

  The next morning, more than eight o'clock, Ju An finished the ranch's affairs and drove his GMC to Old Jason's ranch with Wu Song.

  When they arrived at Jason's ranch, they happened to meet Wang Fan and Jason walking their horses with two unfamiliar young faces. I guess these two are the young people that Wang Fan brought from China for training.

  On the edge of the horse farm, Ju An stopped the car and jumped out, walking towards a group of people. Old Jason saw Ju An coming over and warmly shook hands with him, while Wang Fan introduced two domesticated horse trainers to Ju An. After some small talk, Ju An said: "Jason, I've come to take Wang away this time, he's been troubling you for the past few days."

  Jason smiled and said: "Wang is a major client of mine, taking good care of him is our responsibility, no trouble at all."

  Wang Fan also smiled and said, "These past few days, I've really learned a lot from Jason. If you have time, you can come listen too." After finishing speaking, he patted Ju An's shoulder.

  "Alright, let's stop with the formalities. Let's go get our luggage." After saying that, he bid farewell to Jason and handed the reins over to a nearby horse trainer before getting into the carriage with Wang Fan.

  Waved goodbye to Jason in the car, Ju An took Wang Fan to the house by the horse farm. When they arrived at the house, Lili welcomed them happily: "An, welcome back to our home, come in and have a cup of coffee, I just brewed it."

  "Thanks, we still have to rush to the Big Waterfall City, let's not drink this time and drink next time when we come again."
