As the most important annual group event for American high schools, Lowbige Junior High and Senior High School would hold two proms respectively.
Meanwhile, the formality and grandeur of the Senior High School prom that would be held first was unimaginable for Zhang Lisheng who came from China.
He was shocked to find out that in the last two to three days before the prom, Lowbige Junior High seemed to have fallen into a crazy atmosphere as if someone had pressed a button all of a sudden. The first topic that everyone talked about when they met was prom this and prom that.
The Student Union's officers put down everything they were doing and were busy decorating the hall, arranging the band, choosing drinks, ordering the lights, and even summoning the engineering vehicles to the school.
What was most surprising was that the seventh, eighth, and ninth grade middle school students' greatest Christmas present was not a full A grade report, but an invitation to the high school's New Year's Ball.
Their eyes seemed to be gleaming with ulterior motives when they looked at their seniors.
"George, did you see the way that guy looked at me? He's like a robber.
Are the people in this school crazy? "Zhang Lisheng held the two cards in his hand and walked in the school with George in the snow after getting the result and the white prom invitation according to the badge on his chest." Such a cold snow can't wake them up at all. "
"Lisheng, that's because to those pathetic junior high kids, the Senior High School prom is a 'feast' that they can never reach!" George replied proudly in a condescending tone.
"They'll be able to do it naturally when they're a year or two older, three at most …"
"Buddy, it's not about age, it's about tradition. They're junior high students in front of us now and they'll always be."
"Oh George, you should go see a neurologist too," Zhang Lisheng sped up and ran to his Explorer as he spoke.
George shouted immediately behind him, "Hey Lisheng, can you send me to the butcher? The snow is too heavy, I'll freeze to death if I ride my bike."
"Follow me then."
The both of them ran into the car. Zhang Lisheng turned on the air conditioner first and his mouth began to tremble slightly.
Soon, the temperature in the carriage began to rise. At the same time, a big hole appeared on the snowy ground near the main street in Lowbige's campus all of a sudden. A strong wind blew the snow on the ground all the way to the Explorer.
"It's finally warmed up." After the sudden slight shaking, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Lisheng's mouth as he started the car. "How's the meat shop's business recently?
If Mr. Rocchi is really out of stock before Christmas, I can be of some help. "
"Just let him run out of stock, buddy. Then I can work less and still get paid," George said absent-mindedly, "Did you feel the car shaking just now?
The last few times I've sat in your car, I often have this feeling before I start driving. It's really strange.
Why do you have the habit of putting down the back seats? This is a very 'lewd' habit. It makes people think of, you know, 'car sex' … or maybe there's something invisible hidden in the back seat. "
As he said that, George couldn't help but turn around and touch his back. Naturally, he found nothing.
"We're already on our way. What are you doing, George?
Fasten your seatbelt and sit properly. Otherwise, I'll chase you out of the car! "Zhang Lisheng said loudly with a serious expression.
"Okay, okay. Lisheng, don't be so hot-tempered." George sat straight and fastened his seatbelt. "It's prom tomorrow. How's your date coming along?
Do you need me to contact Hannah for you? She said she doesn't seem to have … "
"I've already posted a reward on the internet for finding a date."
"Oh my god, you really did that!"
"Yeah, that's the simplest way," Zhang Lisheng said calmly.
George opened his mouth but he had nothing to say to Zhang Lisheng whose personality was so different from the American young man. All he could do was sigh and watch the snow falling outside the window in silence.
It snowed for the entire night and it was getting heavier. However, the snow did not stop Zhang Lisheng from walking. He went to the slaughterhouse in Kaiserland Town to feed his wizard worm the next day as usual.
Island Dragon would be exposed if it stayed on top of the car when it was snowing. Therefore, Zhang Lisheng summoned his wizard worm into the Explorer like he did yesterday.
A giant lizard that was close to 13 meters long was hiding in the backseat of a seven-seater SUV. Although its body was soft and light, one could imagine how cramped it would be if it curled up.
However, since the giant lizard had the omniscient power to transform between real and virtual, it could go through the car and hide in the Explorer directly. Therefore, it was not difficult to do so.
It was less than two days before Christmas, the slaughterhouse's business was completely quiet. Zhang Lisheng browsed through the computer in the afternoon. Seeing that the National Farmers Union had completed all the slaughtering orders, Zhang Lisheng paid Willy and Tiffany their salary in advance and asked them to go home on holiday.
"Sir, when do we start?" Willy asked before leaving.
"Two weeks later. I think the market will be saturated for a while after slaughtering so many livestock before Christmas. You guys can rest easy on your holiday," Zhang Lisheng said absent-mindedly. Zhang Lisheng said absent-mindedly. He was a little worried about his wizard gu's stomach for the next ten days.
"Boss, you're underestimating the city people's appetite.
The whole country is closed for Christmas, the people in New York City rely on our farm to provide meat for them. Usually, the slaughterhouse would be busier than before Christmas after a week, "Tiffany said while smiling.
"Is that so? You guys can start work after a week then.
Hmm, the first week's salary will be calculated as overtime, pay triple. "
"Thanks, boss, we'll make a move first. Have a Merry Christmas," Willy and Tiffany looked at each other happily and said at the same time.
"Goodbye, Merry Christmas to you guys too," Zhang Lisheng said while smiling.
After the helpers left, the slaughterhouse that had been busy for nine days finally became quiet. Zhang Lisheng walked to the back of the factory and found the metal cover in the snow. He fed the livestock organs and blood that were left in the trench to the two wizard worms and mumbled, "It seems like it's urgent to buy another slaughterhouse."
He took out his phone by instinct as he spoke and looked at the few slaughterhouses that wanted to sell around New York City that he collected from the internet recently. 'Chirp chirp …' His phone rang all of a sudden as he was looking at it.
"Hey buddy, remember you're picking me up at my house?
It's 2: 30 in the afternoon now, I hope you're on your way back to the city. "
"Don't worry George, I'll leave now."
"Oh, think about your tortoise speed and the snow on the road, what you need to do now is …"
"I'll leave now, I'll definitely be at your house in two hours," Zhang Lisheng hung up the phone as he spoke.
He lifted his head to look at the snowflakes that were falling from the sky and controlled Mountoad that had eaten all of its food to jump into his backpack. He then ran to his Explorer in big steps.
'Chirp chirp …' His phone rang again just when he got into the car. Zhang Lisheng picked it up helplessly and said, "I said I'll definitely pick you up two hours later …"
"Lisheng, it's me," The voice that came from the phone was not George but a lady.
Hearing the familiar lady's voice, Zhang Lisheng said apologetically, "Oh, I'm sorry Tina, I thought it was …"
"Your prom date, am I right? Speaking of which, as a gentleman, you shouldn't talk to a young lady like that before the prom."
"You know that Lowbige Junior is having a prom today?
That's amazing, it seems like prom is more important than anything to New York high school students.
But you've misunderstood Tina, I thought you were my friend George. He's not a young lady but a noisy black guy.
Alright, let's not talk about him, I have something to talk to you about.
I'm planning to buy a slaughterhouse after Christmas, I've collected a few options online but I can't make up my mind no matter how I look at it … "
"I'll handle the slaughterhouse for you but before that, Lisheng, I need your help," Tina hesitated and said softly on the phone.
Zhang Lisheng was stunned, he had a feeling in his heart. "Listen, friend, I owe you one. No matter what request you have, I'll agree to it as long as it's not too much.
However, some things must be thought through before you do it.
You've experienced some lessons before, recall them and tell me your decision. "
"Things are different from what you think, Lisheng, but it's similar. Let's talk about it when we meet after Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you, friend. "
"You too, Merry Christmas, Tina."
After hanging up the phone again, Zhang Lisheng drove to New York City in the snowstorm for over two hours.
