The American Scripture

Chapter 602

The shape of Anthony's house is a bit like the English letter "l". There are lawns covered by heavy snow in front of and behind the house. In front of the door facing the house, the outline of a road covered with heavy snow can only be vaguely seen. A few big trees covered his house. If it was summer, it would definitely look shady and full of an idyllic atmosphere. That's all Bruce Zhen had to clean up.

"This is for you, take this with you, go, go clear the road, I'm going to the warehouse, this damn weather!" Anthony cursed again, and handed Bruce Zhen the gloves, hat and boots , and a shovel.

"Okay, sir, I'll finish my job!" Bruce Zhen nodded, took over and boarded the boat, then started working with a shovel. To be honest, Bruce Zhen is indeed a good hand at work, and he looks like a person who works a lot, which reassures Anthony.

Suddenly the door opened, and a little boy's head poked out from the crack of the door. With chestnut hair and blue eyes, he looked about five or six years old. His eyes rolled around and looked at the door. It came out very smart, and he smiled when he saw Bruce Zhen.

"Hey, stranger, who are you?"

Bruce Zhen stopped when he saw the child, and said with a smile, "My name is Bruce Zhen. Who are you? Little guy!"

"Rick Hughes, what about you?" The little guy shook his head and looked at Zhen Fan with a smile. "I want to know your name. There haven't been any new residents 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. She was tall and plump, looked at Zhen Fan with a smile on her face and said, "You must be the Bruce Anthony mentioned. ? Zhen! "

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

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

"No, thank you. Anna, I still have work to do, let me finish it!" Bruce Zhen refused with a smile, then put his hat on 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 showing two missing front teeth, then was hugged by Anna, and returned to the house, and the door was closed behind him. Bruce Zhen didn't care at all.

Road cleared. Bruce Zhen went to clean up the warehouse again, and then together with Anthony transported in the forage covered by heavy snow. After finishing all this, Anthony smiled at Bruce Zhen and said, "I didn't expect you to be really good at work, let's go. Go inside, let's have a drink!"

Anna poured a glass of brandy for each of the two people who came in, and then the two of them sat in front of the fireplace, while Bruce Zhen drank the wine one by one, looking at the room curiously. The layout is very warm. Little Rick was playing with the blanket beside him, and Bruce Zhen smiled at him.

"Where did you live before?" Anthony took two sips of wine. His 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 I didn't have any regular jobs. I brewed wine and did some medical work. For example, I treated people with acupuncture!"

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

"Maybe, I don't know either!" Bruce Zhen said with a smile, "It is said that going on the road alone is a kind of practice, and the teachings I believe in tell me this way, so... I think I am looking for A method that can be practiced so that one's life can become meaningful...a great meaning!"

"Practice? Like the ascetic practice of a wise man?" Anthony looked at Bruce Zhen, "Are you still going to leave here? I managed to hire someone! You know there are only four hundred people in this town , more than a hundred families, and few outsiders usually come here."

"No, if I can stay here, I won't think about where to go for the time being." Bruce Zhen smiled, "Our practice is to follow fate, since we have fate, why should I go against this secret arrangement? ? Don't worry, it's not time for me to leave, I will stay here!"

"That's good, Anna, give us another drink, and... tidy up the utility room next to the warehouse. There is still a bed there, and I'm adding some other furniture. Bruce will live there!" Anthony Said to Anna.

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

"I can tidy it up myself, it won't bother me!" Bruce Zhen drank the wine in one gulp, then stood up, "I'll help her!" He said and walked towards the door. Anthony didn't stop him, watched him go out, and drank the wine one after another.

There are some tools in the utility room, mainly for repairing tractors, cars and other repair tools. Bruce Zhen moved these things aside and put them away neatly. Then, he watched Anna help himself and cleaned the surrounding area thoroughly. Clean, this woman is very careful, and specially arranged a bedside lamp for Zhen Fan.

Beds, tables, chairs, and bathrooms are all available. It looks like a relatively large bedroom. If you ignore the repair tools and some old-looking wood next to it, it must look like a relatively comfortable bedroom. the nest.

Bruce Zhen felt very satisfied, and 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 work here for a while, just to adjust my state!"

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

"Thank you!" Bruce Zhen watched Anna leave, and then lay on the bed alone. The bed was newly made, and it was soft and comfortable to sleep on. It wasn't something of poor quality. It can be seen from this that Anna and Anthony are kind-hearted.

During dinner, there was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl on the table. Her chestnut hair was formed into two braids, and there were some freckles on her face. He looked very energetic in a long skirt, but when he saw Bruce Zhen coming in, there was no smile on his face.

"Let me introduce you, this is Belinda, er, this is Bruce Zhen, a worker hired by our family!" Anna introduced to the two, "Belinda is my daughter, and she is now in high school in Bozeman , Now go home on vacation!"

"Hello!" Bruce Zhen nodded to her, then wrapped himself in a napkin, ready to start eating. But Bruce Zhen didn't respond to the greeting. Belinda didn't pay attention to Bruce Zhen at all, without raising her eyelids, she just stared at the food on the plate and began to eat.

Bruce? Zhen smiled indifferently, then picked up the knife and fork and ate. Dinner was generally ok, mashed potatoes, some pork chops, and the roast beef was ok. Everyone had a dessert after the meal.

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

After drinking a cup of coffee, Bruce Zhen tactfully left. Now is the time for family reunion, and he doesn't want to make people feel uncomfortable here. There is also an oven prepared by Anna for him in the utility room, which can be used for baking and heating, which is a very considerate thing.

Watching Bruce Zhen leave, Belinda looked at Anthony with dissatisfaction: "Why hire such a person again? He looks like a tramp! Haven't you suffered enough?"

"Don't worry, Belinda, I'm a good judge of people. He seems to be a cultivated person, and he also knows medical skills, can make wine, and works hard, so... don't underestimate him, and He promised me that he will not leave for the time being, until I find a new replacement!"

"Well, I hope your good vision can prevent you from suffering a second loss." Belinda shook her head and said, "I'm going to Jeff's party tomorrow, he's going to have a barbecue party at home, Can I go alone?"

"No, it's snowing a lot outside, are you going to have a barbecue in the snow?" Anthony frowned.

"Yes, why not?" Belinda's mouth curled up.

"No, no, no, and... driving in such heavy snow is quite dangerous. You haven't got a driver's license yet, and you don't have experience, so you still can't go!" Anthony remained calm.

"Dad—please, this reunion is very important. It's the best time for our high school classmates to be together. I can build relationships and win the election after school starts!" Belinda showed a pleading look to Anthony, "And...you can drive me there too, can't you?"

"No, I don't have time!"

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

"Honey, isn't it a little too much for you to treat her like this?" Anna looked at her daughter's room with some concern, and frowned at Anthony, "Don't be too harsh on her! That... Bruce? Zhen can drive?" ?”

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