That day's game was as if nothing had happened. The days were still going on, and Jiang Hai was also living a life of drunkenness and dreaming every day. Of course, this adjective was just sour and imposed by Xu Wei, Fuyuan and the others. It's just on him.
Jiang Hai would rather replace these four words with 'boring'. Logically speaking, in his impression, rich people have a lot of entertainment, such as bullying women, bullying women, bullying women, and bullying women. As a domineering girl, I have to say important things three times, and then there are less important things, like going out to pretend to be 13, racing a car, gambling, drinking, or crossing the line. Go smoke something illegal or something like that, cough, don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of illegal things in the United States. First of all, Red Bull is illegal, and cough syrup can only be purchased with a prescription from a hospital. Ordinary people in You can't even buy it in pharmacies.
In Jiang Hai's opinion, the life of a rich person should be... driving in a car with a few girls in the car, drinking Red Bull and cough syrup, and going to Las Vegas for a few days... Well, besides drinking Apart from Red Bull and cough syrup, the others are pretty reliable.
But it's a pity that Jiang Hai's character is destined to make it impossible for him to do this.
His daily routine is very simple. He gets up, washes up, and if it snows, he goes out to help shovel the snow. If not, he goes to boxing at home, then has lunch, and then goes fishing. His original activity is to go fishing by the river, but Since he failed to catch fish last time, his activities have changed again, and that is to build a basketball court, indoors!
Jiang Hai was indeed too bored and had nothing to do. In fact, when he was in Bingcheng, he had nothing to do in the winter. He just stayed at home and watched anime and TV for a whole day. It's over.
It's just that he's not the only one who's bored, so his friends will still come over to play with him every once in a while.
But after arriving in the United States, it seemed that he was the only idler in the whole world. There were many people in his manor, but they all had things to do. Occasionally, when they had a day off, they preferred to stay at home. There was no way, there were no peers. The only ones who could be considered the same age were Bell and Harriman, but Harriman was unlikely to play with him.
As for Bell, he is a crazy military enthusiast, ahem, a crazy former soldier. As long as he rests, he has to take out his collection of guns and take care of them all. Someone said that taking care of guns is very difficult. Normally, if the gun is not taken care of for a long time, the gun will break. But the problem is that he also has too many guns, more than twenty, including rifles, submachine guns, pistols, shotguns... Almost all the guns that Jiang Hai knows about are here. They all have it, and there's even an antique gun. By the time he's done taking care of it, it'll be dark, so why not go out and have some fun
It is precisely because of this that Jiang Hai has been thinking that when he recruits people again, that is, when he recruits sailors and winemakers, he must not look for old men anymore. He will have to look for a few more young people, otherwise He was so bored.
Fortunately, he lives in a house, and if he were to be there alone, he would be driven crazy! As for going to town to make friends, Jiang Hai said he was not too interested.
Jiang Hai has a boring and coquettish personality. If someone takes the initiative to talk, talk, and make friends with him, he will be very happy to talk, talk, and make friends with this person. However, if he is allowed to take the initiative, Making friends with other people is difficult.
As for bars and other occasions, to be honest, if no one takes him there, then he probably won't be able to go there in his life.
Fortunately, his attention has recently shifted again, to the construction of basketball courts.
Ever since Jiang Hai had the idea of building a basketball court at home, he told Robins about it the next day.
Regarding Jiang Hai's idea, Robbins said that there is no problem. If you want to build a basketball court, you don't need to wait until spring to start construction again. You can just modify a warehouse. At worst, build a new warehouse by then. That’s it.
Jiang Hai's manor was originally built for the three-in-one purpose of animal husbandry, fishing, and wine.
And these three things, no matter which one they are, have separate storage spaces. Naturally, what wine needs is a cellar.
Beef and fish require some cold storage. With a little modification, these cold storages can be turned into a basketball court. After all, in Robbins' view, there is no need to build something too luxurious for his own fun. There is electricity here. , there is water and heating.
It only requires a small renovation, a shower room, and then laying some wooden floors where the basketball court needs to be built. It sounds a bit troublesome, but it is not really a troublesome thing.
As for the basket, it is the simplest thing. You can buy it. A basket only costs two or three hundred dollars. They are also responsible for door-to-door delivery and installation. Jiang Hai only needs two for one venue. It is really very convenient.
Jiang Hai doesn't care if his own independent basketball hall is particularly beautiful. At least there is a place for him to play basketball now, and the lights must be very bright.
Now that it has been decided to build, the rest of the work will be much simpler. Although Jiang Hai doesn't know how to do it, cowboys like Robbins are all hands-on experts. Taking advantage of their rest time, they will help first. Jiang Hai built the walls and separate rooms that needed to be demolished, and then ordered a batch of large-sized floors. It was up to Jiang Hai to install the floors himself. As for the lights on the ceiling, etc., There is also the renovation of the inner room, which is naturally helped by Robbins and others.
Unknowingly, another five days passed by in a hurry. According to Jiang Hai's estimation, in another three or five days, his basketball gym will be completed. But today, although they have a rest, they I didn’t go to the basketball gym to continue working.
Because today is the "statutory holiday" for the people of the United States, Christmas Eve!
In the United States, Christmas has the same meaning as the Spring Festival in China. It is a day for family reunion.
As early as the 23rd, Jiang Hai had already given his employees a holiday, but in fact, only Bell was the only one who really left the manor. There was no way, the employees in Jiang Hai's manor actually had nowhere to go. .
Harriman has no family anymore. Both Burke-Dahler and Edward Anderson are divorced, and their families are very estranged from them, so they can be regarded as having no family. Robbins never mentions his family's affairs, so I guess. There is not much contact. After all, if there is a family, then when Jiang Hai comes here, he will not be alone, but there will be a family waiting here. As for the Philemon couple, they no longer have family members, but They have children themselves, and their children are coming back to see them, so after Jiang Hai announced a holiday, only Bell went home for the festival. Jiang Hai's holiday this time was not short, and he could wait until Just come back on January 2nd.
As for the others, Jiang Hai directly announced that they would be divided into two waves. The Philemon family naturally wanted their family to celebrate the festival together, while Jiang Hai and the others, singles, would celebrate the festival at Jiang Hai’s home tonight. As for tomorrow’s On Christmas, let's all go to his villa together. Of course, these people are having fun, but they have to pack up before leaving.
Early this morning, the entire manor was very busy. Early in the morning, Robbins and Philemon went to Jiang Hai's forest together, and each of them cut down a pine tree. This is the Christmas tree. Christmas is coming. Mrs. Philemon has already prepared the decorations, because no one in this manor has children, so there is no need to prepare Christmas gifts.
As for Jiang Hai, after he got up, he worked with Harriman, Burke-Dahler and Edward Anderson to prepare what they were going to eat tonight. Compared with the full meal prepared by Mrs. Philemon, Jiang Hai They don't have such skills.
So they could only do what they were best at. Although the residential area was in a state of chaos for a while, the festive atmosphere gradually gave Jiang Hai a warm feeling.
Christmas Eve is a continuation of Christmas. According to legend, the origin of this festival is because of Jesus, whom Westerners believe in.
According to legend, Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and was born of a virgin to his mother Mary. God sent the messenger Gabriel to tell Jesus in a dream that his father, well, his nominal father, Joseph, told him not to give birth to Mary because she was unmarried. Instead of wanting her to get pregnant, he wanted to marry her, and then name the child Jesus. Who knows what Jesus’ nominal father thought, but he agreed anyway, maybe because he loved this woman too much, but Mary was about to give birth. At that time, the then-ruling Roman government made a mistake.
They started a census and required all people to declare their household registration when they came to Bethlehem. Joseph and Mary had no choice but to obey. God was too far away, and the butcher knife of the Romans was closer to them.
So they arrived in Bethlehem, and it was Christmas Eve when they arrived. They didn't find a hotel to spend the night, so they spent the night in a stable. The first half of the night was Christmas Eve, and the second half of the night, Jesus was born on Christmas Day.
Of course, different churches have different birthdays. For Catholics, it’s today, while for Orthodox Christians, it’s January 7th.
As the largest sect and the second largest sect in the world, the US imperialist government is obviously very good at doing things. The winter vacation time is from mid-December to mid-January. No matter which sect you believe in, this time period is You can celebrate the holidays.
Jiang Hai is a standard atheist, well, I guess so. Anyway, even if he believed in it, it would be impossible for him to believe in this kind of foreign religion.
In China, many people also celebrate this foreign festival, but basically this festival is not to celebrate the birthday of Jesus, but a day for hooking up and confessing love. In other words, in fact, Christmas Eve is not at all No peace.
Of course, people in the United States have to live a more serious life. In fact, Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve and Carnival Eve are different every night. For fun, no one would come to the door on this day. Christmas is celebrated by relatives and friends of the family, so there can be outsiders. Carnival night is actually a day to go out and have fun. In fact, Jiang Hai used to It’s not clear that these are all taught by Robbins.
Just as everyone was preparing to celebrate the festival in the room, several car horns also sounded.
