The American Scripture

The shape of Anthony's house is a bit like the English letter "l". The front and back of the house are covered with snow-covered lawns. In front of the door of the house, a snow-covered road can only be vaguely seen. A few big trees covered his house. If it were summer, it would look very shady and full of rural sentiment. That's what Bruce Zhen wants to clean up.

"This is for you, take this again, go, go to clear the road, I'm going to the warehouse, this **** weather!" Anthony scolded again, and the things he handed Bruce Zhen included gloves, hats and boots. , And a shovel.

"Okay, sir, I will finish my work!" Bruce Zhen nodded, took it and got on the boat, and then started to work with his shovel. To be honest, Bruce Zhen is indeed a good hand at work, and he looks like a person who works frequently. This makes Anthony feel relieved.

Suddenly they opened, and a little boy's head poked out from the crack in the door. His chestnut hair and blue eyes looked like a five or six-year-old. His eyes rolled around and looked. It came out, very smart, he saw Bruce Zhen and smiled.

"Hey, stranger, who are you?"

Bruce Zhen stopped looking at the kid and smiled: "My name is Bruce Zhen, who are you? Little guy!"

"Rick Hughes, how about you?" The little guy shook his head and looked at Zhen Fan with a grin. "I want to know your name. No new residents have been here for a long time!"

"Bruce Zhen!" Bruce Zhen looked at the little guy and nodded, "I'm new here!"

At this time the door was completely pushed open, and a woman in her forties came out, tall and plump. She looked at Zhen Fan with a smile and said, "You must be the Bruce Anthony said. Censored!"

"Yes, ma'am!" Bruce Zhen said politely, taking off his hat and placing it on his chest.

"Just call me Anna. Would you like to come in and warm it up?" Anna said to Zhen Fan, "I have a fire in the room, and there is potato soup."

"No, thank you. Anna, I still have work to do, wait until I'm done!" Bruce Zhen refused with a smile, then put on the hat again, waved the shovel, and began to clear the snow on the road. At the same time, he blinked at the little boy Rick Hughes.

Rick smiled at Zhen Fan's mouth, which was missing two front teeth, and then was held by Anna, and returned to the room, the door closed. Bruce Zhen did not take it seriously.

Clear the road. Bruce Zhen went to clean up the warehouse again, and then carried in the snow-covered fodder with Anthony. After all this, Anthony smiled at Bruce Zhen and said, "I didn't expect you to have a good job at work. Go in. Go in. Go inside, let's have a drink!"

Anna poured a glass of brandy for the two who came in, and then the two of them sat in front of the fireplace. Bruce Zhen drank the wine one sip and looked at the room a little curiously. The decor is very warm. Little Rick was playing beside the blanket, and Bruce Zhen looked at him and laughed.

"Where did you live?" Anthony took two sips of wine. The body also warmed up, reflecting the red light of the fire in the fireplace, he said to Bruce Zhen, "What do you do?"

"Uh, I used to live in California and lived in Temecula for a while. Then I moved to Los Angeles." Bruce Zhen said with a slight smile, "I lived in Los Angeles for two years, and there is no fixed At work, I have brewed wine and also did some medical work. For example, using acupuncture and moxibustion to treat people's illnesses!

"It seems that you are still a generalist. Why did you leave Los Angeles?" Anthony said, "Want to travel?"

"Perhaps, I don't know!" Bruce Zhen said with a smile, "They all say that going on the road alone is a kind of practice, and the doctrines I believe in tell me like this, so... I think I'm looking for A method that can be practiced to make one's life meaningful...a great significance!"

"Cultivation? It's like the kind of asceticism of a wise man?" Anthony looked at Bruce Zhen, "Are you still leaving here? I managed to hire someone! You know there are only more than 400 people in this town." There are more than one hundred households, and very few people from outside usually come."

"No, if I can stay here, I won't consider where to go for the time being." Bruce Zhen laughed, "Our practice pays attention to recklessness. Since we have fate, why should I violate this secret arrangement? Don’t worry, I will stay here before I leave!"

"That's good, Anna, give us one more drink, and... tidy up the utility room next to the warehouse, where there is a bed, and some other furniture, Bruce will live there!" Anthony Said to Anna.

"I see!" Anna took the wine bottle, added wine to Bruce Zhen and Anthony's glasses, took a hat, and went out. She wanted to set up Bruce's utility room.

"I can sort it out by myself, it won't trouble me!" Bruce Zhen drank the wine in one sip, then stood up, "I'll help her!" He said and walked towards the door. Anthony didn't stop him, watched him go out, and then drank the wine bit by bit.

There are some tools in the utility room, mainly repairing tractors, cars and other repair tools. Bruce Zhen moved these things aside, put them neatly, and then watched Anna do not know the bed for herself, and cleaned the surroundings. Clean, this woman is very careful, and specially arranged a bedside lamp for Zhen Fan.

Beds, tables, chairs, and toilets are all available. It looks like a relatively large bedroom. If you ignore the repair tools and the old wood that looks a bit old, it will look more comfortable. The nest.

Bruce Zhen felt very satisfied. He thanked Anna again: "Thank you, you and Anthony are generous people. Thank you for taking me in. But... Don't worry, I won't leave casually, I At least I have to stay here for a while, just to adjust my state!"

"It's best if you can think like this! Anthony is a good person. If you have anything, you can talk to him. I think you are a person with a story. Some things, it may be a good thing to be heard! Anna looked at Zhen Fan and smiled, and then walked to the door, "Well, you can rest now. I will call you again during dinner!"

"Thank you!" Watching Anna leave, Bruce Zhen lay on the bed alone. The bed was a newly made bed. It was soft and comfortable to sleep. It was not something of poor quality. It can be seen from this that Anna and Anthony are still relatively kind in their hearts.

At dinner, there was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old on the table. She had two braids with her chestnut hair and freckles on her face. She looked pale and clean. She was relatively slender and she was wearing a sweater and woolen sweater. The long skirt looked very energetic, but when Bruce Zhen came in, there was no smile on his face.

"Introduce you, this is Belinda, uh, this is Bruce Zhen, the worker hired by our family!" Anna introduced them to each other, "Belinda is my daughter, and now Bozeman is in high school. , Now I'm home on holiday!"

"Hello!" Bruce Zhen nodded to her, then wrapped himself in a napkin, ready to start eating. But Bruce Zhen’s greetings did not get a response. Belinda ignored Bruce Zhen and did not raise her eyelids, just staring at the food on the plate and eating.

Bruce Zhen smiled indifferently, and then took the knife and fork and ate. The dinner was generally good, with mashed potatoes, some pork chops, and the roast beef tasted good. After the meal, everyone also came with a dessert.

Bruce Zhen knew that this was a dinner for himself, and that he had officially joined the circle of the farmer of this family workshop and officially became his employee.

After drinking a cup of coffee, Bruce Zhen said goodbye very wittily. Now is the time for family reunion. He doesn't want to feel uncomfortable here. In the utility room there is also an oven prepared by Anna for him, which can bake things and keep warm, which is very intimate.

Watching Bruce Zhen leave, Belinda looked at Anthony dissatisfiedly: "Why should you hire someone like this again? Looks like a tramp! Haven't you enough of this loss?"

"Don't worry, Belinda, I think people are very accurate. He seems to be a well-educated person, and he also knows medicine, can make wine, and works hard, so... don't underestimate him~www .wuxiaspot.com~ and he promised me that he will not leave for the time being until I find a new replacement!"

"Well, I hope your good foresight will prevent you from suffering a second loss." Belinda shook her head and said, "Tomorrow I will go to Jeff's party, and he will hold a barbecue party at home. Can I go alone?"

"No, the snow outside is heavy, do you plan to barbecue in the snow?" Anthony frowned.

"Yes, why not?" Belinda's lips curled upward.

"No, it's not possible, and...Such snow makes it very dangerous to drive. You haven't got a driver's license and you have no experience, so you still can't go!" Anthony remained silent.

"Dad-please, this gathering is very important. It is the best time for our high school classmates to be together. I can build relationships and win the election after school begins!" Belinda pleaded with Anthony. "And...you can drive me there too, can't you?"

"No, I don't have time!"

"Okay, okay, you are doing something I regret!" Belinda was angry, she pouted, and then rushed into the room, closing the door with a "bang".

"My dear, is it a bit too much for you to treat her like this?" Anna looked at her daughter's room with some worry, and frowned at Anthony, "Don't be too harsh on her! That... Bruce? Can Zhen drive? ?"

"I don't know, I'll ask him later!" Anthony sighed and shook his head!
