"There is no problem in this regard. After all, they are all family members in our community -"
Hardison raised his eyes from the cup in his hand, directed Zheng Jianguo, shrugged and said, "don't worry about this. We'll tell others about you in advance. I'm sure everyone won't care."
"All right ~"
Knowing that this dinner was about to make an official appearance in the community, Zheng Jianguo didn't continue to refuse: "I'll be there tomorrow -"
After coming to the United States for one and a half years, Zheng Jianguo felt that the biggest difference between here and home is that the community management committee has great power. With the help of non-profit organizations, that is, the middle class like Mary, who has a certain time and energy, the whole community management committee has high management autonomy, ranging from election hearings to crime prevention notices.
Similar to the nature of Rotary club, except for the main principals, the community management committee is part-time personnel without salary. Therefore, if you want to become a member of this group, you must first have dedication.
From a conceptual point of view, this kind of community management committee is similar to the neighborhood committee and village committee in Zheng Jianguo's memory. However, in terms of weight alone, the community management committee is responsible for more things.
Since Zheng Jianguo bought the house and demolished it for reconstruction, he has received notices asking for opinions on cultural education, protection of the legitimate rights and interests of women and children, care for the elderly, placement and employment, poverty eradication, immigration, crime prevention, helping ethnic minorities, community transformation, environmental protection and other social activities.
Of course, the community management committee is also elected by the vote of community residents. Therefore, the various rules, methods and management regulations formulated are very grounded, stipulating the construction style of large outdoor buildings. This is also the result received by Zheng Jianguo. Any violation of the regulations will lead to the police, fines or defendants to court, This is also the reason why Zheng Jianguo didn't build all the land into houses. His built house accounts for more than 100 square meters. He also has a yard of almost 150 square meters. According to the concept of Chinese people, what's wrong with planting in such a large yard?
Do as the Romans do——
Seeing that an honorary member of the rotary club came to the door in person, Zheng Jianguo could not refuse Mary's invitation. Although he didn't want to waste these entertainment, he had long said that he would have half a day free tomorrow. It would be a little deliberate to find an excuse at this time.
We should know each other anyway!
Zheng Jianguo, who can't run away, doesn't want to participate in these retreat entertainment. According to his idea, it's better to take advantage of this leisure to read more books, but it's almost hot from that degree, and this is also his purpose to let them in. Since it can't be avoided, it's better to integrate into it.
Mary and Hardison sat down again with a glass of water and watched the water run out. Unexpectedly, a doorbell rang outside the door, and a slightly childish voice came in: "Mom, Dad, when are you going to sit?"
"Oh, sorry, this is my daughter Valerie. I'm so sorry. Let's go back first -"
Her face turned a little white. Mary's expression was nothing different. She apologized and stood up. Hardison put down her glass with a smile and said with a smile: "Zheng, Valerie is a little naughty, but her character is not bad. We'll go back. How about we meet again tomorrow?"
"Well, then I won't send you -"
Watching each other drink the water from the cup, Zheng Jianguo followed the two to the door. A beautiful girl in a strapless evening dress was standing next to her. Her expression was like a reduced version of Mary, mixed with a baby's fat cheek and a pair of big blue eyes.
However, Zheng Jianguo's eyes did not look at each other's boastful place with great effort, but turned to the young boy next to her. He saw Mary standing next to him and said, "Zheng, this is my daughter Valerie and son Mike. They are now in grades 9 and 11 in Boston high school ~"
"Hi, Zheng, I don't want to go to Boston high school. It feels like a community high school. Although it's a state high school, my mother thinks it's troublesome to send me to Massachusetts high school after sending my brother. I've overcome her difficulties, so I'll go to Boston high school -"
The baby's fat cheeks hung with a smile like Mary. Valerie's words had a deliberate affinity, but Zheng Jianguo couldn't connect this with his previous rude behavior of ringing the doorbell. Then he saw Mike's bright eyes next to him, and Mary said to them: "Valerie, we all know you are a good child, Mike, This is Zheng I told you. He will attend the luncheon tomorrow afternoon. Now say goodbye to Zheng. It's time for us to go back. "
"Zheng, welcome to come tomorrow. Bye!"
Valerie did not know whether it was intentional or unintentional. She deliberately stood up straight and said to Zheng Jianguo with a smile. She turned and grabbed Mary's arm. At this time, Mike next to her nodded with a smile: "see you tomorrow, Zheng."
"See you tomorrow, Mike. Bye, Mr. and Mrs. Hudson -"
Although Zheng Jianguo wondered why Valerie had a contrasting performance, when people met and said goodbye so formally, he could only wave his hand with a smile and say goodbye to the family. Mary smiled and Hudson turned and left. They didn't nod until they returned to their home: "yes, this is your due attitude. You two performed well today, Then we can go out today and wait for me to change into my evening dress - get in the car first. "
"OK, mom!"
Mike then watched his mother and father enter their bedroom, then turned to Valerie next to him, glanced at her boastfulness, and couldn't help laughing: "how's my idea? Mom said that Zheng is very smart and rich. He built his own house. If you listen to me, we will have endless money in the future -- "
"You want me to seduce him to bed?"
Valerie turned her head and looked at the direction of her parents' bedroom. After asking, she saw Mike smile and say, "anyway, you have so many boyfriends. As long as we cooperate with the next play, don't let him touch you. Of course, we can't do this alone - what do you think of kyuro Shinai? The boy can't move his legs when he sees you. It happens that tomorrow they are also the weekend. "
"Does he really have so much money?"
Valerie looked at the movement in the room and followed Mike to the outside. The latter looked around vigilantly, shrugged and said, "I heard what my mother said. I also said Zheng, the Dongfang busy ki who looked ordinary and drove an old Plymouth car just now. His family is at least one million. The most important thing is that he is still the most famous doctor, How can a doctor have no money -- "
"Then I'll ask him to give me a car -"
Once again, Valerie looked out at the brightly lit No. 53, subconsciously shook her head, disdained on her baby's fat cheek and said, "no, no, his father is Soni's general manager in Boston, but his pocket money has never exceeded $5 a week! The most important thing is that he is very timid. If you don't want to be betrayed under intimidation, you'd better not find him, just find him - Jacqueline Bowden. "
"Your cheerleader? I heard she had an affair with many adults -- "
Thinking of the cheerleader of Boston high school, Mike couldn't help swallowing his saliva, but it seemed that the sound was too loud. When Valerie turned around, her face full of baby fat showed a charming color that shouldn't appear under the light of the house: "they said you were a coward at school, I met Jacqueline at the bathroom door and didn't even dare to look at her -- "
"I didn't want to get into trouble. She was with big jack at that time. Eh, do you have a good relationship with her?"
Under the bright moonlight, Mike's old face turned a little red. Just as he looked back at Valerie, he saw that the latter's face flashed disdain and said, "our relationship is not good, of course, it's not bad. She likes playing different from us. She knows how to use her body. She also said that playing with you is meaningless. She doesn't even have money except her appearance, What I'm talking about here is big money, not your pocket money of four or five hundred dollars a month -- "
"What does she want money for? I hear her family has a lot of money -- "
Mike asked in surprise. Valerie tilted her head and looked at the brightly lit house 53 and said, "I don't know. Anyway, I know she is short of money and wants to change money. Unfortunately, you know, our school should be the state capital high school in the most community, Who will go to this kind of community school? Do you think I don't know if my mother is not willing to take $10000 a year to let me go to private high school? "
"It's like I don't want to go to private high school. In fact, my father took out all the money my mother made. If you have a general relationship with Jacqueline, how can you tell her about it? Hey, we want to blackmail a rich Oriental busy ki. Would you like to come? "
Mike carefully looked at the house behind him and found that hadison and Mary didn't show up. He knew that they hadn't cleaned up yet. Just when he looked back, he just looked into Valerie's eyes and saw her say, "how did you know I wanted to say that to her?"
"No, really?"
Mike's eyes widened in an instant, but then he shook his head quickly and said, "she's not a good speaker -"
"That's for those of you who have no money and ability. Remember, if you want to sleep with her, you can't say more and better than two Franklin -"
With a heavy nod, Valerie didn't expect that the brother was really so good. She just looked at the question mark on his face after saying that she obviously didn't understand what he said about the two Franklin, so she continued to say, "two hundred dollars ~ don't you even know that?"
"Franklin, two hundred dollars. Oh, you mean a $100 avatar can sleep on her for two hundred dollars?"
Mcton was shocked. Obviously, he couldn't believe that his dream lover was worth 200 dollars. Fortunately, Valerie rolled her eyes at him and continued to say, "of course, you have to eat a few meals, just like you soak up those girls. There's always a process of knowing each other?"
"You look familiar -"
Looking at Valerie's story, Mike had a few thoughts in his mind. He soon came back to his mind, his face slightly changed and stared: "your boyfriends --"
"Take what you need. If I don't hate Dongfang busy Ki, this Zheng is my best goal. He is 18 and I am 15, tut tut -"
The slightly thick lips tutted. Valerie's eyes swept Mike's face and shook her head and said, "you're both 18 years old. Look at what others can do, and then look at you -"
"Cut, Zheng is lucky. He earns all his money with his teacher, so after the teacher leaves, he won't continue to fry Futures -"
Disliked by his close sister, Mike's face flashed a bit unnatural. He didn't even think about it. He told the news from his mother, and then thought of Jacqueline. His attention was immediately diverted: "if we do it this time, we'll almost have enough money to go to college --"
"Oh, I guess you said that. Jacqueline's reason for trying to get money is that she may be ready to go to a good school -"
Valerie's face flashed suddenly, and Mike remembered that he would graduate soon: "I think so, too. Let's blackmail Zheng once, and then ignore him when we get the money -"
"I feel that Zheng He is no different from those Oriental people in Chinatown, if he doesn't use that awkward English -"
For Zheng Jianguo, Valerie never thought that this was an invisible rich man. She thought it must be a Chinese from Hong Kong Island, but she didn't expect to hear such important news from her brother Mike: "if you said he had so much money, I wouldn't hurt myself -"
"You think too much. Zheng has a girlfriend -"
Subconsciously opened his mouth to tell the news he heard. Before Mike finished his words, Valerie blocked him back: "I also have a boyfriend, but I believe he has never had a girlfriend like me, but it's a little late to say this now. If something happens between me and him, my mother will know what my plot is --"
"Who made you have such a big opinion on them?"
Mike shook his head and was speechless. Then he looked at the door and found his parents coming out. He quickly turned back and said, "they're coming out. Why don't you call Jacqueline at this time?"
