American Ranch

Chapter 28

After dinner, Hill took the initiative to ask for Chen Mo's contact information, which caused everyone to laugh.

Chen Mo and the others went to the parking lot to watch them leave, Bai Xiaoou winked at Chen Mo: "Go to the gym."

"Row."

The community leisure center is divided into two areas: fitness and leisure.

The leisure area has golf, bowling, billiards, etc., plus a gym, all of which are public service facilities in the community.High-end communities have complete facilities and high property costs.

All facilities in the leisure center in the community are free, but the property card must be presented.

A few people went in and played bowling for a while, and played two games of billiards before breaking up.

Billings, as long as you don't live near a commercial area, generally feels like being in the countryside and is very quiet.

Bai Xiaoou moved to the ranch community, and his house in Banshan community was vacant.

The house is big, with four bedrooms, where Chen Mo lives at night.

Billings is the largest city in Montana, but it's also a small city.According to Chinese standards, it can be regarded as a slightly larger town at best, similar to a small county town.

Although the city is small, the facilities are complete.

That night, Chen Mo slept very deeply. At dawn, Chen Mo was still in a daze, and was woken up by the phone.

The bastard Bai Xiaoou called and asked to have dinner together, Chen Mo rubbed his eyes and got up, washed up briefly and drove to the restaurant.

Tangxia Yipin also provides breakfast, traditional Chinese breakfast, steamed buns, steamed buns, steamed dumplings, soy milk fritters and so on.

The business in the morning was a bit unexpected, and there was a queue at the breakfast window, just like those hamburgers with particularly good business.

The buns are packed in a paper bag, and the cup of soy milk looks like a coffee cup, with the logo of Tangxia Yipin on it, as well as the portraits of the three brothers... The portraits are like the head portrait of an old KFC man, which looks very classy.

A basket of buns with a glass of soy milk costs $4.Soy milk is $1 a cup... A basket of steamed buns is usually not enough to eat, at least add a basket of small steamed buns, or steamed dumplings. $6, $8...

Bai Xiaoou was waiting in the restaurant. He also ate steamed buns, steamed dumplings, and soy milk.

There is an additional service charge (tip) for eating in the restaurant. There are very few people eating in the restaurant in the morning, only six or seven tables.

"Is the business so good every morning?" Chen Mo asked.

"That's right, the sales in the morning can reach several thousand dollars..." Bai Xiaoou said with a smile: "My preliminary work here is not for nothing. The restaurant also invested 2 dollars in advertising costs, mainly billboards... The biggest road billboard in Laurel was taken by our restaurant, you didn't see it when you drove over yesterday."

"I didn't pay much attention. If the restaurant's business is good, it's fine, eat."

After breakfast, Bai Xiaoou took out the car keys and said, "I'll go to Seattle right away to deal with the matter over there, and it may take a week before I can come back."

"Do you want me to watch the business of the restaurant?"

"That's not necessary. Master Wang is a part-time restaurant manager. He can just watch it. Your notarized driver's license should expire soon. Have you taken the American driver's license yet?"

"Forgot. I don't know where to go to get a driver's license." Chen Mo said depressed.

"The driver's license test here is easier than in China. If you have a driver's license, you don't need to sign up for a study class. The road test is a walk around the city, and the examiner will mark it. The written test is more troublesome. Montana only has English written test questions without translation. Chinese..." Cities with a large number of Chinese have Chinese test papers, such as New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.There are few Chinese in Montana, and the written test for the driver's license is only in English: "You need a teacher to guide you on the written part of the test, or go to California to take the test."

"It's so troublesome." When Chen Mo was studying, he hated English classes the most. He has been in the United States for a few months and was forced to accept English.

"You can ask Hill about this." Bai Xiaoou smiled and winked away from Chen Mo, got into his Audi R8 and waved goodbye.

There is no difficulty in language communication, but text communication is a big trouble.

After leaving the restaurant, Chen Mo went back to the Banshan community, took out his phone, turned to Hill's phone number, and dialed: "Hi, are you free?"

"Want to ask me out?" Hill's laughter came from the phone.

"There is something I want to ask you."

"I'm working, yesterday's auction site. I'm free this afternoon. What's the matter?"

"I have been in the United States for three months. I have been using a Chinese driver's license before. I have to apply for an American driver's license. Where is the DMV in Billings? I want to go and ask some questions."

"Your excuse is too incompetent. I promise to have a date with you in the afternoon. That's it. I'm busy now, bye."

Chen Mo smiled, and went out to buy two new sets of clothes, a casual suit and a sportswear.

After changing into a casual suit, it was past ten o'clock, and then I shaved and drove to the auction venue.

There is no car auction today, and there are still a large number of classic cars waiting to be traded in the car trading area, as well as people who come to see the cars.

Hill and her other sister, Demi, work part-time at a soda shop here...

Hill is dressed in business attire, tall and curvy, with a pretty face, many men will look at her more.

"Hey, what would you like to drink?"

Chen Mo was outside the cold drink shop, Asian faces were easy to spot, and Hill walked over with a smile.

"Whatever." Chen Mo walked over and sat down near the woods.

After a while, Hill came over with two glasses of juice, sat opposite Chen Mo, and stared at him: "Where are we going for a date in the afternoon, have you thought about it?"

"Department of Motor Vehicles." Chen Mo smiled: "Xiaobai and Jennifer went to Seattle, and they won't be back until a week later. I want to take advantage of this free time to get my driver's license."

"Then after going to the DMV?" Hill asked with a smile, as if he thought teasing Chen Mo was particularly fun.

"See a movie?"

"Not interested in."

"What do you say."

"Can you skateboard?"

"will not."

"bowling?"

"No, but you can learn."

"OK. Went to DMV, let's go to the fitness center." Hill took two sips of juice and got busy again.

After eleven o'clock, there were no customers in the cold drink shop. Hill talked to Demi and pulled Chen Mo away.

The Department of Motor Vehicles is not far away, and Billings is not a big city. There are not many people who come to the Department of Motor Vehicles during normal times. They went there to ask some questions before the staff got off work, and then made an appointment for a driver's license test.

Written test in a week.If you pass the written test, you can take the road test on the same day, and then wait to get the certificate.

"God, why did you sign up for the written test a week later, I can't read?" Chen Mo's head twitched.

"You can't read? Why didn't you say it just now?"

"I only know very little English. I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass the written test in a week."

"It's enough to know some English letters. It's very simple. They are all multiple-choice questions, and they are all basic common sense questions. You can download an APP, and there are dozens of questions in total, which are easy to pass."
