The World of American Drama: From the Los Angeles Patrol

Chapter 153 The Statue of Victory Worshiping and Lifting Gold Nuggets
There is a saying about the old beauty of Texas, called 'Everything is bigger in Texas' (Everything is bigger in Texas), and everything here is indeed "big", from the size of the steak to the portion of French fries , to pickup trucks and wide-brimmed cowboy hats, and the strength of shopping tax rebates, and even the figures of girls.

When everyone present saw that Jack completed this super-difficult and super-large 'Bass in Tomato Sauce', they couldn't help exclaiming from the sidelines. The two Walker children were so happy that they picked up their mobile phones to take a picture around this dish. non-stop.

Bonham, grilling an oversized tomahawk steak, stared at the fish with his chin in contemplation for a moment before announcing, "I think this dish should be called 'Texas bass,' the one that Jack Kid said Although the Texas grilled chicken tastes good, it is really too small."

Jack couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this sentence, and he didn't know if it was an accident.

As night fell, the Walker brothers lit a bonfire in the open space. Auggie was a young man with great musical talent. Although Jack had never heard of the southern country folk song he played and sang, it must be admitted that Hannah's expensive Kat made absolutely no mistake.

After two glasses of beer, Walker took his wife Emily and danced a country waltz. The dance was quite enchanting and even a bit inappropriate for children. Then the old man Bonham took Aunt Molly and danced a traditional country two-step .

Then Stella was also pulled off by Uncle Liam, then Hannah and Jack.

Jack really can't dance, but he wins because the attribute bonuses given by the system are awesome. From the beginning, he just mechanically twisted to Hannah's rhythm, and then gradually let go, and he started to play freely in a decent way, and even I can imitate Walker and make a show, holding Hannah's waist with one hand and leaning back.

After a few songs, everyone still felt that they were not dedicated enough. At Walker’s suggestion, a group of two danced the square dance, and Auggie was in charge of playing and directing. I have only seen it in old-fashioned western films, and it has many elements of British court dance, which I find very interesting.

"I already regret not letting the girls wear tutus." This is the emotion from Aunt Molly.

We played together until late at night, and the Walkers didn't leave until the two children began to doze off.

In the early morning, following Aunt Molly's practice, Jack made the leftover steak from last night into burritos and fried eggs.

The bell at the door rang crisply. After finishing the morning run, Hannah, who was wearing a tracksuit, just entered the door with a dewy body and a bouquet of freshly picked wild flowers in her hand.

"Coffee or milk? Liam just brought us fresh milk when he returned to the city."

Jack asked without looking back.

Hannah didn't speak, just walked behind him and put her arms around his waist from behind.

"What's the matter honey?"

Jack was a little strange, she was fine just after going out.

"It's nothing. I just think it's good to live here for the rest of my life. I can find a way to buy back the management rights of the ranch."

Hannah put her head on his back and muttered softly.

Jack put down the spatula in his hand, turned around and picked her up, and put her on the small table, "Then give birth to a lot of children, throw them to Walker's house every day, and we go out to play by ourselves?"

Hannah's beautiful eyes widened, she looked dazed and cute, "Have you thought about it too?"

Jack kissed her lightly on her pink lips, "I have to admit, it only took one day for the Walker family to make me fall in love with life on the Texas ranch."

"But I want to use my own money to redeem your family's pastures. In this case, these pastures will be jointly owned by the two of us."

Feeling a hot palm on her sensitive skin, Hannah's face was blushing, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

"But it will take a long time. With your salary at the FBI, I might as well wait for the 50-year operating right to expire, but by then we will be too old to have children."

Jack became angry with embarrassment: "Can't you have some confidence in me? I have only made such a large amount of gold. Even if I rob a bank, it won't make money faster than me, right?"

Hannah's little madness said as soon as she said it, her eyes lit up when she heard this, and she covered the palm that was making trouble on her chest.

"Why don't we be like Bonnie and Clyde, and be a couple of thieves, and we will definitely be able to steal a lot of money."

"And then he was shot to death by Walker?" Jack rolled his eyes.

In history, Bonnie and Clyde, the most famous couple in Texas, and also the most famous and legendary desperate mandarin ducks in the United States, were beaten into a sieve by Texas Mounted Police on the highway in Louisiana.

Their story was made into a movie by Hollywood in 1967 and became a classic cultural symbol.

Dividing line---
The family cemetery of the Stephens family is in a grove on the farm. It is old but not dilapidated. The old Thiagos have kept everything on the farm, including this cemetery, in good order. According to the commitment of the Stephens family, when they die Later, will also be buried here.

Hannah put the bouquet in front of a tombstone, clasped her hands on her chest, and prayed silently.

Jack stayed by her side without saying a word, feeling in his heart that the bond between himself and the world was getting deeper and deeper, and he didn't seem to resist it in his heart.

After paying homage to Hannah's parents, the two returned to the farm. Hannah helped the old Tiago couple with some farm work, and Jack repaired some farm machinery. Finally, he took out his mobile phone and placed an order for a Siris product on the Internet. The characteristic three bungee.

This thing is very suitable for driving in small farms, and the structure is simple, durable, and easy to maintain. I believe old Tiago will like it.

After lunch at noon, the two drove to the Walker's ranch and saw that the two children were already excitedly preparing for the evening camp.

Jack felt that he didn't need his help, so he dug out a piece of walnut tree root from the corner of their firewood pile, asked Mr. Bonham for a hammer and a chisel, and played root carving under the porch.

Originally, he just wanted to make a wooden base for the natural gold nugget, but he thought it was too simple and boring, so he simply made a spoof and carved a statue of the goddess of victory rolling up his sleeves.

Insert the natural gold nugget into the position where it should have been a torch, and a goddess of victory with her sleeves rolled up, struggling to lift the nugget with one hand, appeared in front of her eyes.

The key point is that the face of the goddess of victory is exactly like the cartoon version of Hannah, and she also has an unconvinced and arrogant face, which makes the old man Bonham shake his head.

"This natural gold nugget is worth a lot. If it is auctioned, the price should be about 1.5 to 2 times that of pure gold of equal weight."
