Chapter 5 Eat a good meal
On the way downstairs, Case stopped in his heart, looked at Beth and asked:
"What day is today?"
Beth's face froze and returned to normal in an instant, and then asked with a smile:
"Today is my mother's death day. What's wrong? What do you want to say to me?"
Keys felt helpless and always so aggressive.
He stretched out his hand to hold Beth's shoulder, looked into her eyes and said:
"I don't want to say anything to you, and today is not only my mother's death day, but also her birthday. If she is still alive, she will definitely hope that our family will be harmonious."
Then Case made a gesture:
"So, can you be more at peace with dinner today? Our family hasn't been together for a long time.
Although Li is at home, he is just a piece of wood. The two straight men have no topics except the ranch, so their father is basically alone at home.
Moreover, it has been a long time since we had a stable meal.”
Bass still had a smile on his face:
"What if I don't do this, what will you do to beat me up?"
Case retracted his hand and looked at Bass with his hands on his hips. His temper was actually not very good.
"I won't do anything to you, I just hope you will restrain yourself."
Beth opened his mouth to continue refuting, but looked at Keith and nodded.
Case smiled and walked over and held Bass' shoulder:
"Then let's go."
A trace of gentleness flashed in Beth's eyes. If you want to say who she listens to the most in this family, it is naturally Old John.
Because she felt that she had killed Evelyn and could not get out of this hurdle, she felt sorry for Old John.
Apart from Old John, Case is the one who can let her listen to something.
There is a reason for Evelyn, but the main reason is that the system only guarantees that Case will not die, and the bloody wound still exists.
The two of them came to the restaurant downstairs, and the others had already sat down.
Old John was still sitting in the first place, Lee was sitting on his left hand, and under Lee was Jamie.
Case and the other side walked around from Old John to the right, Bass sat in the first position, and Case sat under her.
Case helped Beth pull the chair open. After the two sat down, Case asked with a smile:
“What to eat for dinner?”
Old John was about to speak, but Li next to him interrupted:
"steak."
Case wrinkled her face:
"It's steak again?"
Old John said:
"I don't want to eat steak, cakes, salads, cookies, etc."
Keith glanced and picked up the knife and fork and cut it. His subordinates moved quickly and cut it in a short while. He picked up the cut plate and put it in front of Bass, and took the bass' plate over.
He actually has no habit of serving others, and he agrees that he can do it himself and have enough food and clothing.
He just couldn't stand Beth taking a knife and fork to vent his breath at the steak, and he wanted to kill the steak.
Bass looked at the chopped steak in front of him and unconsciously showed a gentle smile. Old John also curled the corners of his mouth when he saw this scene.
Keith complained while cutting the steak:
"Dad, I think you really deserve another Chinese chef."
Old John moved his body with the red wine to make himself sit more comfortable. After touching his nose, he said:
"You work and go to school, and you only have me and Li at home, so there is no need for this."
Bass next to him responded with a steak:
"Kase said every day that Chinese food is delicious. Since he likes it, he should invite one. He has come back from graduation!"
Jamie on the opposite side heard this topic and said quickly:
"Kase, are you graduated? Isn't the graduation season yet?"
Case lowered her head and cut the steak and said in response:
"I was able to graduate very early. I took a long vacation this time, so I'm considered graduating."
Jamie obviously didn't realize that Case didn't want to talk to him about this topic, because he had guessed what Jamie said, but he obviously didn't realize it.
Sure enough, after Case finished speaking, Jamie's eyes lit up:
“Are you considering which university to go to? How about Harvard?
I know a lot of professors, and you can choose any courses based on your studies.”
Case was very impatient, so he couldn't have a good meal?
Jamie kept talking, and Beth would inevitably criticize him, and this topic could easily lead to Old John's thoughts.
Seeing that both of them were talking, Case quickly briefly talked about the situation and his plans for the past few days.
As soon as Case finished speaking, the innocent cowboy Li, who had not spoken, became excited:
“Wow, cowboy road, cool!”
Old John suddenly touched the corner of his mouth and said:
"I actually want you to join the army, which does not conflict with your studies. You can continue to complete your studies after retirement."
join the army?
‘Do you punish evil and promote good’?
It is impossible for you to join the army in this life, and you will never die.
Case had a headache. He didn't know why Old John suddenly had this idea. It was not like this in the play!
The participation of Case in the play was not an arrangement of Old John, but the two of them were in conflict with Monica's double-standard white lotus wife, and then ran away from home.
Then, maybe he was short of money, maybe he fled and ran to join the army.
Case lifts the fork:
"I won't discuss this topic today."
Old John pondered for a moment and nodded.
During the meal, he suddenly fell silent. After waiting for a while, Keith noticed that Bes couldn't help but want to speak again, and hurriedly said:
"Lee, I heard there is a fierce horse on the ranch?"
"Yes, there's one."
Li Song nodded repeatedly, and Old John also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Case smiled:
"Do you need help? I'll help you train your horse. How should I calculate the cost?"
Old John looked at Case with a smile on his backrest:
"How do you calculate your charge?"
"You said, I can do it."
Old John touched the corner of his mouth, thought for a while and said:
"Then let it be, I'll give you a hundred thousand dollars in one day."
The other three people said "Wow" in one go.
A professional horse trainer, a horse can only be tamed for a few hundred dollars.
The charges vary. Some are calculated by time, some are calculated by horse count, some are capable, and some are weak.
And a horse, a good herder, is worth only 10,000 or 20,000 dollars.
Generally, the better normal situation is about 3,000 to 7,000.
The average is only one or two thousand dollars.
The third-generation 03 Dodge Ram 3500 pickup truck in the ranch now has only more than 20,000 yuan in the top.
However, this is not the one in the play. The timeline in the play is 18 years. Although it is also the third generation, the styles are different.
And tame a horse with a hundred thousand dollars, tsk!
Old John had to sell two or three hundred cows to make it back. This was a rough calculation of the cost. If you calculate it carefully, it would be more or less.
"What if I'm tamed in an hour?"
Old John smiled and said very generously:
"Add another one hundred thousand for you!"
"Ok!"
Natural affinity is not omnipotent. Although it was a little tighter for an hour, he felt that he could do it well.
Then everyone chatted and had dinner, but Beth still couldn't sit still and left.
Case could feel that although Old John didn't say it, he was very happy.
After eating, Case came to a place not far from the backyard, where the family's cemetery was.
He came to Evelyn's tombstone, cleared the weeds in front of him, and then sat next to the tombstone and sighed:
Chapter completed!
