Text Chapter 161 Talking About the Land
In the living room, Zhou Jiexi was drinking tea and chatting with Zhang Ziyi's family, laughing from time to time. Zhang's mother also greeted Zhou Jiexi familiarly. In her perception, apart from being a little younger, this Zhou Jiexi looks good now. Compared with Zhang Ziyi's before, the foreigner boyfriend is much better.
That Wei is not only old, but also has a lot of perfume on his body. The most important thing is that Zhang's mother doesn't like his character. It seems that he really has no advantages other than having a lot of money and being kind to Zhang Ziyi.
And now that she has treated her daughter badly, she even despises him. As for Zhou Jiexi in front of him, not only is he young, but he also has a lot of assets from what his son said. After hearing this, Zhang's mother became a little bit more thoughtful.
In fact, when it comes to money, it's not that she's greedy for money or anything. My daughter also respects her a little bit every year she earns, and she can't spend all that money alone. The son also has his own business and earns a lot. The family is really not short of money.
It's just that she is afraid that her daughter will suffer in the future. Although we don't care about the man's money, it's just that you can't earn less than the woman. Women are strong and men are weak, which greatly affects the relationship between two individuals, and it is not suitable for family unity, and it is not good to talk about it, right? Anyone with a bad face or soft rice can't bear it personally. What's more, since Zhang Ziyi is still a public figure, she will receive even more critical looks.
'So Zhang's mother is also thinking about Zhou Jiexi, and she also has a good impression of Zhou Jiexi, so let's not talk about whether the two will be together in the future. It's not wrong for us to understand first! ’ So he picked up the preserved fruit on the table, and handed a piece to Zhou Jiexi: "Xiaojie, eat this, it's delicious, it's a gift from Ziyi's friend, it's very good. Would you like to try it?"
"Uh..." Zhou Jiexi looked at her own things and greeted herself, it felt a little weird. Turning my head to look at Zhang Ziyi, I found that she was also suppressing a smile. After seeing Zhou Jiexi, the expression on her face was still a little embarrassed.
"Mom, don't play tricks, that preserved fruit was given to me by Jessie. You're still giving it to others to eat!"
"Ah!" Not only Zhang's mother, but also several people around said, "This is the case, but they didn't tell us that he gave it to us." ’ As expected of a family, even the ideas that popped up had almost the same meaning. A few people secretly looked at each other, and made a look of watching the changes.
After all, Zhang's mother has a little experience, and she reacted quickly, without embarrassment or anything. Did I say anything bad about him? I was so excited to praise Jesse this week! Haha laughed a bit, "Haha... I didn't expect that I would still be talking about worshiping Buddha in front of the real Buddha! Xiaojie, you don't say a word, seeing you don't eat this good food, I'm so anxious. You are worrying Auntie for nothing."
Zhou Jiexi quickly took it, the candied fruit in Zhang's mother's hand. "Auntie, didn't you guys say that? I can't say that this is mine! Hehe... But if you like it, Auntie, I'll send you more when I go back to the United States."
"Hehe... how can I spend money on you, but speaking of this food, it tastes really good! Everyone in the family likes to eat some, and if Niuniu doesn't eat, you just need to give her some, and she will eat It's coming soon." Zhang's mother said with a smile.
"No, no, it's all grown by myself, and the preserved fruit is also made from the fruit in my own orchard. It doesn't cost much, so don't be polite, auntie."
"Ah! Did you grow it yourself?"
"Um, of course I don't. I have a farm in California, USA, and these are all fruits from the farm, managed by workers. How can I do this. Hehe..." Zhou Jiexi looked at Zhang's mother and a The people with curious faces said.
"Oh, you actually planted it yourself, then Auntie is being impolite! Thank you, Xiaojie!" Zhang's mother said. 'farm? He contracted an orchard in the United States? ’ Zhang’s mother was a little confused about this concept. So he asked aloud, "So Xiaojie contracted an orchard in the United States! That's not bad, and I feel more at ease when I eat what I own."
"Eh..." Zhou Jiexi was speechless, "Contract. . . ! contract. . . . ! This concept is a bit far away, although it seems similar! Moreover, orchard farms in the United States can also be contracted by farmers. '
"Well, auntie is not a contractor. The United States is a little different from China. Private purchases of land are allowed there. After buying it, it will be yours for the rest of your life, and you can pass it on to your children." Zhou Jiexi must insist on this. After explaining clearly to the old man, of course there is also a desire to show off in my heart.
But this is also human nature. If you see the woman's parents, you must show them your muscles! Although he and Zhang Ziyi are not that different now, he still has thoughts in his heart. Of course, at this time, he can't be looked down upon by others! The distance between a farmer and a farmer is much worse.
"Oh, the land has been bought out, isn't that the ancient landlord! That's what you want to get, there is still this in the United States?" Zhang's mother asked with a strange look.
For Zhang's mother's words, her son and daughter also felt blush, but they were their own mothers. The son doesn't think the mother is ugly, it's an old man. "Mom, the social system in the United States is different from that of the Chinese Empire. It is a capitalist society, and landlords exist legally." Zhang Ziyi explained to her mother helplessly.
"Yes, and you bought the land over there, and everything under the land will be yours in the future. Even if you dig out gold and oil, it will be yours." Zhang Nan added.
"Oh, that's a good relationship. The land is a good thing! With it, you will have nothing to worry about for a lifetime. If your grandfather's land is still there, our family will be considered a big landlord. It's a pity that after the victory of the revolution , the family’s land was also confiscated.” Zhang’s mother recalled, with a look of pity on her face.
"Ah! Mom, our family used to be a landlord!" Zhang Ziyi asked curiously, obviously she didn't know about this before. And Zhang Nan also had the same expression, and it seemed that he had never heard of it.
"It wasn't a good thing in the past. Did your dad and I talk about it everywhere?"
"Oh! That's right..."
"Hehe, this is all in the past, hey, Jessie, is the land in the United States expensive?" Zhang's mother suddenly asked Zhou Jiexi, looking at her expression as if she suddenly wanted to buy it.
"Well, the United States has a vast land and a small population, so the price is very favorable for the land. To be honest, it is not expensive, but it depends on what you buy it for. Can reduce tax.
