Chapter 1357 Big Laugh (1/2)

Li Du felt that the Bryan family was out of place in modern America. They did not understand even commonsense knowledge that did not require any special education.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.

This was what things were like in Riverdale. It was an isolated town that had shut itself off from the mainstream.

The Bryan brothers were like the old western Arizonans, stubborn, tough, bigoted, and firm.

However, they were not unreasonable or ungrateful people, and now that Li Du saved the child, and Bryans treated them much better.

Victor Bryan was not very talkative. He just sat there and didn't speak much. He spent most of his time watching Li Du and his friends, his eyes sharp as knives.

Ken Bryan talked to Li Du and learned that they were treasure hunters. Ken Bryan laughed and said he used to be in this business when he was young.

”Then we lost money and we were hard-pressed to survive in the city. We were picking on each other, so I went back to the farm to help,” he said, shaking his head.

Victor Bryan interrupted him and said, ”City people are such jerks. They only care about money. They will do anything for it.”

Li Du thought he was a bit of a backward rustic. When he mentioned the city life and work outside the farm, he would complain about it. He had no good impression of the city.

Ken Bryan laughed and said, ”Like me, my brother went to the city to work, but he got ripped off, too. He set up an engineering team, but it was ruined by someone's trick.”

Victor Bryan snorted, puffed away at his pipe. Even the smoke tendrils it emitted showed that he was angry.

At noon, the Bryan family entertained Li Du and the others, and the farm-produced meal was brought to the table.

They served veal stewed with potatoes, grilled lamb chops, vegetable salad, fruit salad, fried chicken nuggets, black pepper beef fillets, and a few tortillas, wheat cakes, and other food.

Sophie took a deep breath and said with delight, ”It looks delicious. Whose cooking is this? I haven't smelled such a delicious meat fragrance in a long time.”

Victor Bryan said with a proud expression, ”This has nothing to do with the cooking. The food here comes from our farm. There's no fertilizer, no commercial feed, and no chemicals. That's what makes it so good.”

The blond ponytail girl ran out with a basket, put on a cowboy hat, and said cheerfully, ”Hey, Daddy, I'm going to take some food to Hans and big brother.”

When Li Du heard this, he stood up and said, ”Mr. Bryan, may I go with your daughter?”

Victor Bryan nodded silently. The girl smiled. ”I'll have to bring more food. It won't be enough for three men.”

She was always smiling brightly, Li Du's mood could not help getting better while looking at her smile. He understood what Hans found so attractive about her.

After going out, she mounted a horse as usual. She asked Li Du with a smile, ”Can you ride a horse?”

Li Du hesitated, then shook his head. He had learned to ride, but he was a poor rider and definitely preferred cars.

”Then I'll ride double with you. I am a pretty experienced rider. I've been riding and herding sheep since I was ten,” said the blond girl casually.

Li Du did not protest. When she changed to the double saddle, he clambered up, sat behind her, and asked, ”You started riding and herding sheep when you were ten years old? Didn't you go to school?”

She shrugged. ”I've been to school, but I can't read books. It's like I'm too stupid. Someone told me that there is something wrong with my brain, and I didn't like school anyway. Go, huh!”

The black horse took off and ran across the farm.

Li Du noticed, too, that there was something unusual about the blond girl. She was mostly a normal girl, but in some ways, she was not.
