Chapter 153: Worshiping and Lifting the Gold Nugget to the Statue of Victory
There is a saying about Texas, ‘Everything is big in Texas’ (Everything is big in Texas), and everything here is true. They are all "big", from the size of the steak, the weight of the fries, to the pickup trucks and wide-brimmed cowboy hats, as well as the strength of the shopping tax refund, and even the girls' figures.
When everyone present witnessed Jack completing this extremely difficult and oversized 'Tomato Sauce Bass', they couldn't help but exclaimed. The two children of the Walker family were so happy that they picked up their mobile phones to go around. I couldn’t stop taking pictures of this dish.
Bonham, who was grilling an extra-large tomahawk steak on the side, stared at the fish with his chin in his hands and thought for a moment, then announced: "I think this dish should be called 'Texas Bass.' "Although the Texas braised chicken that Jack said tastes good, it is too small."
Jack couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, and he didn't know if it was unintentional.
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 ballad he played and sang, he must admit that Hannah's expensive Ji definitely sent it correctly.
After two large glasses of beer, Walker pulled his wife Emily off the stage and danced a country waltz. The dance was quite enchanting and even inappropriate for children. Then the old man Bonham pulled Aunt Molly and danced A traditional country two-step dance.
Then Stella was also pulled off by her uncle Liam, followed by Hannah and Jack.
Jack really can't dance, but the advantage is that the attribute bonus given by the system is awesome. From the beginning, he just mechanically twists to Hannah's rhythm, and then gradually lets go, and he is stylish. Start to play freely, and even imitate Walker to show off a little, hold Hannah's waist with one hand and do a back tilt.
After a few songs, everyone still felt that they were not doing enough. At Walker's suggestion, two people danced a square dance. Auggie was responsible for playing and conducting, and interspersed the dance steps into the lyrics at the right time. This kind of The country-style square dance Jack has only been seen in old western movies. It has many elements of British court dance and I find it particularly interesting.
"I already regret not letting the girls wear tutu skirts." This is the emotion from Aunt Molly.
Everyone played together until late at night. It was not until the two children started to feel sleepy that the Walker family said goodbye and left.
In the early morning, Jack followed Aunt Molly's method and made the remaining steak from last night into burritos and fried eggs.
The bell at the door rang a crisp bell. After finishing her morning run, Hannah, wearing sportswear and dewy clothes, just came in, holding a bouquet of freshly picked wild flowers in her hand.
"Coffee or milk? Liam just brought us fresh milk when he returned to town."
Jack asked without looking back.
Hannah didn't speak, she just walked up behind him and hugged his waist from behind.
"What's wrong, honey?"
Jack was a little strange, she was fine just after going out.
“It’s nothing, I just think it would be 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 laid her head on his back and mumbled quietly.
Jack put down the spatula in his hand, turned around, picked her up, and placed her on the small table, "Then we will have a lot of children, and throw them to the Walker house every day, and we can go out and play by ourselves?"< br>
Hannah's beautiful eyes widened, her expression was cute and stupid, "Have you thought about it too?"
Jack kissed her pink lips lightly, " I have to admit that it only took one day for the Walker family to make me completely fall in love with the Texas ranch life." "But I want to use my own money to redeem your family's ranch. In this case, these ranches are. It’s owned by both of us.”
Feeling a hot palm traveling on her sensitive skin, Hannah blushed so hard that she almost bled, and her voice became smaller and smaller.
“But that will take a long time. With your salary at the FBI, I might as well wait for the 50-year operating rights to expire, but by then we will be too old to have children.”
Jack became angry: "Can't you have some confidence in me? I just made such a large amount of gold, even if I rob a bank, it won't make money faster than me, right?"
Han Na's little madness kept talking, her eyes lit up when she heard this, and she covered the palm that was causing trouble on her chest.
“We might as well be like Bonnie and Clyde and become a pair of mandarin duck thieves. We will surely steal a lot of money.”
"And then he was shot to death by Walker?" Jack rolled his eyes.
Bonnie and Clyde, the most famous Texas couple in history, and also the most famous and legendary desperate couple in the United States, were beaten by the Texas Rangers on a Louisiana highway. Became a sieve.
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 located in a grove on the farm. It is old but not dilapidated. The old Tiagos have taken care of everything on the farm, including the cemetery, in an orderly manner. According to the promise of the Stephens family, after their death, Later, he will also be buried here.
Hannah placed the bouquet in her hand 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 his bond with 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 old Tiago and his wife with some farm work, while Jack repaired some farm machinery. Finally, he simply took out his mobile phone and placed an order online. I bought a characteristic three-bouncer made by Siris.
This thing is very suitable for use in small farms. It has a simple structure, is strong and durable, and is easy to maintain. I believe old Thiago will like it.
After lunch, the two drove to the Walker family's ranch and saw the two children already excitedly preparing for camping in the evening.
Jack felt there was nothing he needed to help with, so he dug out a walnut tree root from the corner where the firewood was piled in their house, asked Mr. Bonham for a hammer and a chisel, and started playing under the porch. Root carving.
Originally, he just wanted to make a wooden base for the natural gold nugget, but he felt it was too simple and boring, so he simply made a prank and carved a statue of the goddess of victory rolling up her sleeves.
When the natural gold nugget was stuck into the position where the torch should have been, a goddess of victory appeared in front of her, rolling up her sleeves and struggling to hold up the gold nugget with one hand.
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 look on her face, which makes Mr. Bonham on the side shake his head.
"This natural gold nugget is worth a lot of money. If it is auctioned, the price should be about 1.5 to 2 times that of pure gold of equal weight."
