Great Power

"There is no problem in this regard, after all, they are all family members in our community—"

Hadison raised his eyes from the cup in his hand, and shrugged at Zheng Jianguo quickly after speaking: "Don't worry about this. We will tell others about you in advance, and I guess everyone won't care. "

"Okay then~"

Knowing that this dinner is about to make an official appearance in the community, Zheng Jianguo did not continue to decline: "I will be there tomorrow—"

After coming to the United States for a year and a half, Zheng Jianguo felt that the biggest difference between this place and his family was that the community management committee had great powers. The entire community management committee was in a non-profit organization, that is, it had a certain amount of time like Mary. With the help of the energetic middle class, they can conduct election hearings and small crime prevention notices, and have extremely high management autonomy.

Similar to the nature of a Rotary Club, the community management committee, except for the main person in charge, is a part-time staff who does not receive a salary, so if you want to become a member of this group, you must first have dedication.

From a conceptual point of view, this kind of community management committee is similar to the neighborhood committees and village committees in Zheng Jianguo's memory. However, in terms of weight, the community management committee is more responsible.

Since Zheng Jianguo bought the house and demolished it for reconstruction, he received notices on cultural education, protection of the legal rights of women and children, care for the elderly, employment placement, poverty eradication, immigration issues, crime prevention, assistance to ethnic minorities, community reconstruction, Solicit opinions on environmental protection and other social life.

Of course, the community management committee is also elected by the residents of the community, so the various detailed rules and management regulations formulated are very grounded, stipulating the style of large outdoor buildings, and this is also the first one that Zheng Jianguo received. A notice, after confirming the identity of other nationals, clearly requested that no physical wall exceeding 1.5 meters outside the house be built.

So Zheng Jianguo knew that the community management committee also had regulations on vegetation planting, fence maintenance, roadside trolley parking, graffiti treatment, garbage removal, outdoor mailboxes, scrapped vehicles, and disposal, which would lead to a decline in the quality of community life. The behavior of the company has made comprehensive and detailed handling regulations.

And any consequences of violation of the regulations will lead to the police, fines, or the defendant in court. This is also the reason why Zheng Jianguo did not build all the land into a house. His built house occupies more than 100 square meters, and he has another A yard of almost 150 square meters, according to the concept of the Chinese people, what is wrong with such a large yard?

Follow the customs in the countryside——

Seeing that as an honorary member of the Rotary Club, Zheng Jianguo could not refuse Mary’s invitation. Although he did not want to waste these entertainments, he had already said that there would be half a day free tomorrow. It's a little deliberate to make excuses.

Anyway, we must know!

Zheng Jianguo, who can’t run away, didn’t want to participate in these retreats. According to his idea, he might as well take advantage of this free time to read more books, but the distance is still short of the fire, and this is his purpose for letting the two in, since It can't be avoided, it's better to blend in.

Mary and Hardison sat with glasses of water for a while again, watching the water almost drunk, unexpectedly a doorbell came from outside the door, and a slightly childish voice came in: "Mom, Dad, you guys When do you plan to sit down?"

"Oh, sorry, this is my daughter Valerie, I'm so sorry, then let's go back first—"

Her complexion turned pale, Mary’s expression was nothing unusual and apologized, and she stood up, and Hudison put down her water glass with a smile on her face and laughed: “Zheng, Valerie is a bit naughty, but her character It's not bad, we'll go back, let's meet again tomorrow, how about?"

"Okay, then I won't send you off—"

Looking at the other party and drinking the water in the cup, Zheng Jianguo followed the two to the door, and saw a beautiful girl in a strapless evening dress standing beside her, her expression like a reduced version of Mary, mixed with baby fat Large blue eyes hung on his cheeks.

However, Zheng Jianguo's gaze did not look at the other party's ostentation with a lot of effort. Instead, he turned to look at the young boy next to her, and saw that Mary next to him stood beside him and said Said: "Zheng, this is my daughter Valerie and son Mike. They are now in the 9th and 11th grades of Boston High School~"

"Hi, Zheng, I don’t want to go to Boston High School. It feels like a community high school. Although it’s a state middle school, my mother thinks it’s more troublesome to send me to Massachusetts high school after sending my brother. Because of her difficulties, that’s why I went to Boston High School—"

There was a smile like Mary on the baby’s fat cheeks, Valerie’s words had a deliberate affinity, but Zheng Jianguo was unable to associate this with the previous rude behavior of ringing the doorbell, and then he saw the Michael next to him. With piercing eyes, Mary next to them had already spoken to the two of them: "Valerie, we all know you are a good boy, Mike, this is the Zheng I told you. He will be at lunch tomorrow at noon. Yes, now you bid farewell to Zheng, we should go back."

"Zheng, you are welcome to come tomorrow, goodbye!"

Valerie deliberately stood up straight without knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional. She smiled at Zheng Jianguo and said that she turned around and took Mary's arm. At this time, the Mike beside her nodded with a smile: "Then See you tomorrow, Zheng."

"See you tomorrow, Mike, goodbye, Mr. Hardison, Mrs. Hardison—"

Although Zheng Jianguo doubted why Valerie had a contrasting performance, he could only wave his hand and say goodbye to the family with such a formal meeting and goodbye. Mary smiled and Hadison turned and left until they returned. My family nodded slightly: "Yes, this is the attitude you should have. You two performed well today. Then we can go out today and wait for me to change into evening dresses-you can get in the car first. ."

"Okay, mom!"

After saying that, Mike watched his mother and father enter their bedroom, then turned to look at Valerie next to her, glanced at her boastfulness, and couldn't help but smile: "How about it, my idea is good, right? Mom? Said that Zheng is very smart and rich. His house was built by himself. If you listen to me, then we will have more money to spend in the future—"

"You want me to seduce him to bed?"

Valerie turned her head and looked at the direction of her parents’ bedroom. After asking, Mike smiled and said, “Anyway, you have had so many boyfriends. As long as we cooperate in the next scene, don’t let him touch you. Okay, of course, this matter can’t be done just for the two of us—how do you feel about Nii Jirou? That kid couldn’t move his legs when he saw you. It happens that tomorrow they are also weekends."

"He really has so much money?"

Valerie glanced at the movement in the room and followed Mike to the outside. The latter looked around vigilantly, turned her head and shrugged and said: "I heard what my mother said, and said Zheng, just the one that looked ordinary. , Dongfang Manke, who drove a dilapidated Plymouth car again, his current net worth is at least one million, the most important thing is that he is still the most famous doctor, how could the doctor have no money—"

"Then I want him to send me a car—"

Standing back again, Valerie looked over at the brightly lit No. 53, and shook her head subconsciously. There was disdain on the baby's fat cheeks: "No Nii Kuro, although his father is The general manager of SONI in Boston, but his pocket money never exceeds five dollars a week! The most important thing is that his courage is very small. If you don’t want to be intimidated and betrayed, you should not find him. Find it—Jacqueline Bowton."

"The captain of your cheerleading team? I heard she has a leg with many adults—"

Thinking of the captain of the Boston Middle School cheerleader, Mike couldn’t help swallowing, but it seemed to be making too much noise. Valerie next to him turned back and was illuminated by the light from the room, showing her cheeks full of baby fat. The charming look that appeared: "They said you were a coward at school, and when you met Jacqueline at the bathroom door, she didn't even dare to look straight at her--"

"I didn't want to cause trouble. She was with Big Jack at the time. Hey, did you have a good relationship with her?"

Under the bright moonlight, Mike’s old face was a little red, but as he recovered and looked at Valerie, he saw that the latter’s face flashed with disdain and said: "Our relationship is not good, of course. It’s not bad. She likes to play differently from us. She knows how to use her body. She also said that playing with you like this is meaningless. Apart from looks, she doesn’t even have money. I’m talking about big money, not every month. Four or five hundred dollars in pocket spending--"

"What does she want money for? I heard that her family is quite rich—"

Mike asked with a surprised look. Valerie tilted her head and looked at the brightly lit house 53 and said, "I don't know, anyway, I know that she is short of money and wants to find money. Unfortunately, you know, we The school should be the most community state high school. Whoever has the money will go to this kind of community school-do you think I don’t know if my mother is reluctant to take $10,000 a year to let me go to a private high school?"

"It's like I don't want to go to a private high school. In fact, all the money my mother earned was taken out by our father to seal it up. If you have a normal relationship with Jacqueline, how can you tell her about this? Hey, we want to blackmail her. A rich Dongfang Manke, would you like to come?"

Mike carefully looked at the house behind him, and found that neither Hardison nor Mary had appeared. He knew that the two hadn't been cleaned up yet, but when he turned his head, he met Valerie's eyes and saw her opening his mouth: "How do you know that I want to tell her this?"

"No way, really say that?"

Mike's eyes widened in an instant, but then he shook his head quickly, and said with a face full of disbelief: "She is not a good talker—"

"That's for those of you who have no money and no skills, remember, if you want to sleep with her, no matter how much you say, it's not as good as two Franklins—"

Nodding heavily, Valerie didn't expect this brother to be such a dish, but after he finished speaking, he looked at the question mark on his face. Obviously he didn't understand what the two Franklins he was talking about, so he continued to speak. : "Two hundred dollars ~ don't you even know this?"

"Franklin, two hundred dollars, oh, you mean the head picture on 100 dollars, two hundred dollars can sleep her?"

Mike was shocked at once. Obviously he couldn't believe that his dream girl was worth two hundred dollars. Fortunately, Valerie rolled his eyes to him at this moment and continued to speak: "Of course it is to eat a few meals. Just like the girls you had, there is always a process of meeting, right?"

"You seem to be very familiar--"

As Valerie told his eyes, Mike had a few thoughts that seemed to be absent, and he soon recovered and his face changed slightly and his eyes widened: "Your boyfriends—"

"Take what you need, if I don't hate Dongfang Manke, this Zheng is my best goal. He is 18 and I am 15 years old, tusk tusk——"

Slightly thick lips tusk, Valerie's eyes swept across Mike's face, and she shook her head and said, "You two are both 18 years old. See what they are capable of, and then look at you—"

"Cut, Zheng is lucky. His money is earned by his teacher, so after that teacher left, he stopped speculating in futures—"

Being disgusted by the sister of his closest relatives, Mike's face flashed a little unnaturally, and he told the news from his mother without even thinking about it. Then thinking of Jacqueline, his attention was instantly diverted. : "If we make it this time, then the money for going to college will almost be lost—"

"Oh, I guessed what you said. The reason why Jacqueline is trying to make money is very likely to prepare for a good school—"

A stunned look flashed across Valerie's face, and Mike also remembered his immediate graduation: "I think so too. Let's blackmail Zheng once, and then ignore him when we get the money—— "

"I feel that Zheng is no different from those Orientals in Chinatown. If he doesn't use that awkward English--"

For Zheng Jianguo, Valerie never expected this to be an invisible rich man. She originally thought that this must be a Chinese from Hong Kong Island. However, she did not expect to hear such important news from her brother Mike: "If you Saying he has so much money, I don’t mind wronging myself--"

"You think too much, Zheng has a girlfriend—"

He subconsciously spoke out what he had heard. Before Mike was finished, he was blocked by Valerie: "I also have a boyfriend, but I believe he has never had a girlfriend like me. He just said this now. It's a bit late, if something happens between me and him, my mother will know what my conspiracy is—"

"Who made you have such a big opinion about them?"

Mike shook his head and was speechless. Then he looked at the door of the house and found his parents came out. He quickly turned his head and said, "They are out. Would you like to call Jacqueline at this time?"
