My Ranch

The game on that day was as if nothing had happened, the days were still going on, and Jiang Hai was also living a life of drunkenness and dreaming every day. Of course, this adjective was just imposed by people like Xu Wei, Fuyuan and the others sourly. It's just on him.

Jiang Hai prefers to replace these four words with 'boring'. Logically speaking, in his impression, rich people have a lot of entertainment, such as bullying girls, bullying girls, bullying girls Domineering girl or something, important things should be said three times, and then less important things, go out and pretend to be 13, go racing a car, gamble, drink too much, or cross the line, To inhale some illegal things, cough, don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of illegal things in the United States. First of all, Red Bull is illegal, and cough syrup can only be bought with a prescription from a hospital. Not available in pharmacies.

In Jiang Hai's view, the life of a rich person should be... driving a car, pulling a few girls in the car, drinking Red Bull and cough syrup, and going to Las Vegas for a few days... well, except Apart from drinking Red Bull and cough syrup, the others are pretty reliable.

But it's a pity, Jiang Hai's character is destined to make it impossible for him to do so.

His daily routine is very simple, get up, wash up, if it snows, go out to help shovel the snow, if not, just play a punch at home, then eat at noon, go down the original activity is to go fishing by the river, but Since he failed to catch the last time, his activities have changed again, and that is to get a basketball court, indoors!

Jiang Hai is indeed too boring, he really has nothing to do. In fact, when he was in Bingcheng, he had nothing to do when winter came. He stayed at home and watched anime and TV. It's over.

It's just that he is not the only one who is boring, so every now and then, his friends will still come to him to play.

But after arriving in the United States, it seems that he is the only idler in the whole world. There are many people in his manor, but they all have things to do. Occasionally, they prefer to stay at home when they have a day off. There is no way, there are no peers, the only ones who are regarded as the same age are Bell and Harriman, but Harriman is unlikely to play with him.

As for Bell, this is a crazy military enthusiast, cough, a crazy former soldier, as long as he rests, he will take out the guns in his collection and take care of them all. Someone said that it is very difficult to take care of guns. It's normal, if you don't take care of it for a long time, the gun will break down, but the problem is that he has too many guns, there are more than 20 guns, rifles, submachine guns, pistols, shotguns... Almost all the guns Jiang Hai knows about him There are all of them here, even antique guns, and it will be dark when he finishes taking care of them, so why not go out and play.

It is precisely because of this that Jiang Hai has been thinking that when he recruits again, that is, when recruiting sailors and winemakers, he must not find old men anymore, and at least find a few more young people, otherwise He is so boring.

Fortunately, he lives in a house, if he is here alone, he will be crazy! As for going to town to make friends, Jiang Hai said he wasn't too interested.

Jiang Hai is a man with a dull-saucy personality. He belongs to the kind of person who would be happy if someone else took the initiative to talk, chat, and make friends with him, but if he was allowed to take the initiative to It is difficult to make friends with others.

As for the bar and other occasions, to be honest, if no one takes him there, then he probably won't be able to go there in his life.

But fortunately, his attention has shifted again recently, to the construction of the basketball court.

Ever since Jiang Hai had the idea of ​​building a basketball court at home, he told Robbins about it the next day.

Regarding Jiang Hai's idea, Robbins said that there is no problem. If you want to build a basketball court, you don't need to wait until the beginning of spring to start the construction again. That's fine.

Jiang Hai's manor was originally built for the trinity of animal husbandry, fishing and wine.

And these three things, no matter which one they are, have their own separate storage space, and what wine needs is naturally a cellar.

Beef and fish need some cold storage. These cold storage can be turned into a basketball court with a little modification. After all, in Robbins' view, there is no need to build too luxurious things for himself. , water and heating.

It only needs a small part of the renovation, a shower room, and then laying some wooden floors where the basketball court needs to be built. It's a bit troublesome to say, but it's not really troublesome.

As for the basket, it is the simplest thing, you can buy it, a basket is not two or three hundred dollars, and it is also responsible for door-to-door delivery, plus installation, Jiang Hai only needs to get two for one venue, it is really true very convenient.

Jiang Hai doesn't care if his own independent basketball hall is particularly beautiful, at least there is a place for him to play basketball now, and the lighting must be very bright.

Now that it has been decided to build, the subsequent things will be much simpler. Although Jiang Hai can't do it, but Robbins and the others are small hands-on experts. Taking advantage of the rest time, they will first help Jiang Hai built up the walls that needed to be smashed and a separate room, and then ordered a batch of large-sized floors, and installed the floors, just let Jiang Hai do it himself. As for the ceiling lights and the like, There is also the transformation of the inner room, naturally helped by Robbins and the others.

Unknowingly, another five days passed by in a hurry. According to Jiang Hai's estimate, there will be another three or five days. It is estimated that his basketball gym will be completed, but today, although they are resting, but Did not go to the basketball hall to continue working.

Because today is the statutory holiday of the people of the United States, Christmas Eve!

In the United States, Christmas has the same meaning as the Spring Festival in China. It is a day for family reunion.

As early as the 23rd, Jiang Hai had already given the employees a holiday, but Bell was the only one who really left the manor. There was no other way. The employees in Jiang Hai Manor actually had nowhere to go. .

Harriman has no family. Burke-Dahler and Edward Anderson are both divorced and estranged from their families, so they have no family. Robbins never mentions his own family, presumably. Not too much contact, after all, if there is a family, then when Jiang Hai came here, he would not be alone, but a family waiting here. As for the Philemons, they no longer have family members above them, but They have children themselves, and their children are going to come back to see them, so after Jiang Hai announced the holiday, only Bell went home to celebrate the holiday. Jiang Hai's holiday this time is not short, he can wait until Come back on January 2nd.

As for the others, Jiang Hai directly announced that they were divided into two waves. Naturally, the Philemon family wanted their family to celebrate the festival together, while Jiang Hai and his bachelors will celebrate the festival at Jiang Hai’s home tonight. As for tomorrow’s For Christmas, let's go to his villa together. Of course, these people have fun, and they have to pack up when they leave.

Early this morning, the whole manor was very busy. Early on, Robbins and Philemon went to Jiang Hai's forest together, and they cut down a pine tree and came back. This is the Christmas tree. Christmas is coming. Mrs. Philemon has already prepared the decorations, because no one in this manor has children, so there is no need to prepare Christmas gifts.

As for Jiang Hai, after getting up, he and Harriman, Burke-Dalle and Edward-Anderson prepared what they were going to eat tonight. Compared with Mrs. Philemon's full set of food, Jiang Hai They have no such craft.

So they can only do what they are best at. For a while, even though the residential area is noisy, but the festive atmosphere gradually makes Jiang Hai feel a little warm.

Christmas Eve is a continuation of Christmas. According to legend, the origin of this festival is because of Jesus, whom Westerners believe in.

According to legend, Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin to a mother Mary. God sent an angel Gabriel to tell Jesus his father in a dream. Well, his nominal father, Joseph, told him not to marry Mary because of Mary. I don’t want her when I’m pregnant, but I want to marry her, and then name the child Jesus. The ghost knows what Jesus’ father in name thinks. Anyway, he agreed, or it may be because he loves this woman too much, but Mary is about to give birth. At that time, the Roman government in power at that time had a moth.

They started a census, requiring all the people to declare their household registration when they came to Bethlehem. Joseph and Mary had no choice but to obey. God was too far away, and the Romans were still closer to them.

So they arrived in Bethlehem, and it was Christmas Eve when they arrived. They didn't find a hotel to spend the night, but spent the night in a stable. The first half of the night was Christmas Eve, and the second half of the night, Jesus was born, it was Christmas.

Of course, different churches have different birthdays. The Catholic Church is today, while the Orthodox Church is January 7th.

As the world's largest sect and the second largest sect, the U.S. imperial government is obviously very good at doing things. The winter vacation is from mid-December to mid-January. No matter which sect you believe in, this time period is You can celebrate the festival.

Jiang Hai is a standard atheist, er, it should be, anyway, even if he believes in it, it is impossible for him to believe in this kind of foreign religion.

In China, many people celebrate this foreign festival, but basically this festival is not a celebration of Jesus’ birthday, but a day of appointment-making and confession. In other words, in fact, Christmas Eve is not at all Not safe.

Of course, in the United States, you have to live a more serious life. In fact, Christmas Eve, Christmas and Carnival Eve are different every night. Christmas Eve is to be spent with the family, and it is not allowed to go out with others. For fun, no one would go to the door on this day. Christmas is spent with relatives and friends of the family, so there can be outsiders, and carnival night is actually a day to go out to play. In fact, Jiang Hai used to Not quite sure, either, Robbins taught them all.

Just as everyone was preparing to celebrate the festival in the room, several car horns also sounded.
