"Stephen, where have you been in the past years?"

Sitting on the sofa at home, Mary couldn't help but glance at him.

Lin Yao had no choice but to answer for a while, so he could only choose a few words and said, "I have been to many places. Four months ago, I became a wilderness hunter and worked for a boss named Henry."

"Wild Hunter!"

Mary nodded. She knew the wilderness hunters, but she didn't know that Lin Yao and the others were hunting in the Indian Reserve.

Just as Lin Yao was an ordinary hunter in the west, hunting some preys such as elk, he said happily: "You look like you are doing well. This outfit is so handsome. Your father must be very happy when he comes back. He has been worrying about you."

"I actually wanted to come back a long time ago, but because of the nature of my work, my boss was unwilling to give me a long vacation."

"Our boss appreciates me very much. I am now the captain of the hunting team. I have $140 a month. I don't see this gun. This is a gilded version of the Kano rifle, worth more than $800. It is our boss's beloved thing. He gave me this gun."

Lin Yao told a kind lie, just like the Beijing migrants who called their home to report their safety.

When you are away, your family doesn’t know how hard you are.

You will never want to tell your parents about this kind of hard work, but you will only choose the best ones. This is human nature.

"It's so beautiful, I've never seen such a beautiful weapon."

Mary is a farmer and has a hunting rifle at home. Who has ever seen a gilded hunting rifle?

In her opinion, only those with strong financial resources can have the leisure to gilt weapons.

If it were ordinary people, they would be fine if they could make their families have enough food with a monthly salary of 20-30 US dollars. Gold is really not something that ordinary people can do.

"I'll bring some money back, you can keep it first. Not much, but it's a little bit of my wish."

Lin Yao took out his wallet and took out ten hundred-dollar bills. After thinking about it, he pulled out five more, totaling $1,500 and handed them over.

"so much?"

Mary was surprised.

There are more than 30 cows at home, each cow is worth about 200 US dollars, and 30 are worth 6,000 US dollars.

These thirty cows are enough to allow Lin Yao's family to live a middle-class life, and they are also a relatively decent family in the town.

The price of calf is one-third of that of adult cattle.

The 1,500 US dollars Lin Yao took out was enough for them to buy 20 calfs.

As long as you manage it well, the scale of the ranch can be half in two years, and this amount of money is not a small amount at present.

"You can take the money away. It's not much, but it's my intention."

Americans rarely have the habit of giving money to their families, but Mary has a husband from Tang, who is somewhat impacted by Tang's ideas and can understand Lin Yao's idea of ​​giving money to his family.

After taking the money, Mary's smile became stronger and she said reluctantly: "My little Stephen has grown up and knows to give money to her mother. Don't worry, mom will keep this money for you. You are not young anymore, tomorrow..."

Speaking of this, Mary's expression was a little stiff. She looked at Lin Yao suspiciously and asked, "Stephen, you won't still like Emma, ​​do you?"

"Emma?"

Lin Yao was in a daze for a moment, and instantly thought of the childhood sweetheart from the memory of his predecessor.

The reason why my predecessor went out to make a fortune was because of Emma's mother's opposition.

Emma is very beautiful and is a famous beauty nearby.

Her mother thought that she was a rare product, and she looked down on a middle-class family like Lin Yao, and she wanted Emma to marry a rich man.

"What's wrong with Emma? Have you married the rich?"

The one who likes Emma is her predecessor, not Lin Yao, so he seems very calm.

Mary shook her head and whispered: "Just marry the rich man. She is not doing well now. After you left, a ballet troupe came to the town. The leader thought Emma was very beautiful, had a good figure, and had the talent to perform ballet."

"Soon after, Emma left with the ballet troupe and danced outside for a few years. Later, because she was developing too well and was not suitable for ballet, she changed her career and became a violin player."

"But unfortunately, she doesn't have much talent in this area. She came back from outside before Christmas and is currently playing in a bar in town."

After listening for a long time, Lin Yao couldn't hear anything and asked, "Isn't this a good one?"

"What's good? She's not good at all. Others listen to her play because..."

Mary said that she would not say anything later, and pinched her forehead irritably: "Anyway, you will know if you go and see it."

"Okay, I'll go and have a look."

Lin Yao noticed that Mary's expression was not right and said, "I have no idea about Emma anymore. I was too young back then and thought that it was love, but in fact it was just friendship. The money I gave you should buy a calf. Don't worry about my marriage. I am in the rising period of my career and don't have the energy to think about those messy things."

After chatting for an afternoon, Lin Zhizhou came back from herding cattle in the evening.

Seeing Lin Yao, he was completely blinded and was stunned for a few seconds before he turned to joy.

I talked about the outside, and asked about the situation at home.

Everything is fine, Lin Yao is relieved.

In the evening, they ate grilled lamb chops and drank the homemade fruit wine from the town.

Taking advantage of the wine, Lin Zhizhou also took Lin Yao to see the ranch and the cattle, and pointed to the cow and said to Lin Yao: "Did you see that? That's a cow. As long as you control it, you can control the entire cattle."

"How do you tell it? I see that they all look the same." Lin Yao asked back.

"It feels like a king, but in fact it is indeed the leader of the herd. I can always recognize him at a glance, but your mother can't do it."

Lin Zhizhou lay on the fence and looked at Lin Yao drunk: "Child, are you still leaving when you come back this time?"

"Of course, Shitou Town is too small. It may be good to spend my old age, but it is not enough to start a career, and there is no suitable industry for me to develop."

Lin Yao is telling the truth. A prosperous town like Shitou Town is occupied by people in all walks of life.

When outsiders enter, they have to compete, and don’t think about making money in a short period of time.

What Lin Yao needs is a small town that is in a mess, and it is best to be rushing to recruit people and attract investment just recently.

Such emerging towns often give large amounts of commercial tax exemptions, which is basically the norm for three years, and some can even give five or eight years.

More importantly, Lin Yao hasn't thought about what to do yet.

He had wanted to open a factory with Grass before, but this plan was ruined with Henry's death.

In addition, he left most of his money at home, with only more than one hundred dollars on him, and the principal became a problem again.

He needs to leave the town, accumulate original funds again, and look for good investment projects.

None of these things are in Stone Town, and he just wastes time when he leaves them.

"You have grown up, I support your idea. I just hope you can remember that this is your home and you can come back and rest when you are tired."

Lin Zhizhou is not a very capable person. Most of the contribution of his mother Mary is to his mother.

Otherwise, just a Tang Dynasty man, how could America, who likes to see skin color, become a middle-class family?

Don’t think Lin Yao is not sure how bad people of color are doing at this stage.

Even in Shitou Town, some people discriminated against their skin color. When I was a child, I was bullied because of this.

"I'm going back to sleep. I'm drinking a little bit today, and the fruit wine has a lot of potential."

Lin Zhizhou shook his head: "Where are you?"

"I went to the town for a walk and heard that Emma worked part-time in the town's tavern. I was going to go over and take a look and enjoy the town under the night."

Lin Yao is a night owl. It's only 7:30 pm now, so it's too early to go to bed.

But as soon as he said this, he found that Lin Zhizhou's expression was a little wrong, as if he didn't really want Lin Yao to see Emma.

"What's wrong?"

"Emma has changed, you may not get along very well!"

Lin Zhizhou stammered and left on the excuse of being drunk.

Lin Yaomu saw his back and found that both his mother, Mary and his father, Lin Zhizhou, were a little nervous about Emma's affairs.
