Chapter 421 Dinner
That night, Lin Siqiao made a detailed future plan.
The next morning, the agricultural planting expert, with dark circles under his eyes, gave Lin Siqiao a satisfactory "answer sheet".
The reason is simple: Lin Siqiao paid too much.
As for not having overtime, that doesn’t exist. As long as you are paid, you can do anything without feeling tired.
When everything was almost arranged, Lin Siqiao was ready to return.
Dilar was very reluctant to let Lin Siqiao go, and until the plane took off, he kept asking her if she wanted to go to New York with her to play for a few more days.
Lin Siqiao thought about it and decided to refuse. The stock market has clearly shown signs of recovery recently, and she planned to do some short-term trading for a few days before New Year's Day. She also had to buy some machines.
With the current planting volume on the island, relying solely on manual labor would be too slow.
And hiring people is not cheap. Currently, the hourly wage for workers doing manual labor in Hawaii is US$3.
Lin Siqiao calculated that the three islands would require at least 600 workers to complete the initial reclamation and planting work.
The daily expenses here alone are almost 10,000 US dollars.
If you add in the expenses for ship pick-up and drop-off, workers' insurance, and lunch, it would cost more than $20,000 a day.
Therefore, there is a reason why the mechanization rate of agricultural planting is so high abroad.
Since Lin Siqiao said so, Dilar didn't force it. Anyway, they would be back to school in half a month, and they would have plenty of time to travel together then.
It was already past four in the afternoon when we landed, and it was originally agreed that Mr. Qiu would come alone to pick us up.
But Qiu's mother was worried, and the two children were clamoring to come along.
Mr. Qiu had no choice but to rent a seven-seater commercial vehicle, and the whole family waited outside the terminal together.
"Mom, is that my brother?"
Qiu Mingxi stretched out his finger and looked at Qiu's mother with uncertainty.
Mother Qiu was just about to say, your brother has only been away for half a month, how come you don’t even recognize him?
But when she looked up, she was also stunned.
It was not until Qiu Mingze came up to them with his luggage and called out "Mom and Dad" with a smile.
Only then did Mr. and Mrs. Qiu realize that the man in front of them, who was tanned and looked like a piece of coal, was actually their son.
There's nothing you can do about it. Hawaii is beautiful, but the ultraviolet rays are really strong.
Boys are naturally not fond of makeup, so getting tanned is inevitable.
In addition, during the treatment, Dean Zhang has been trying every means to drive Qiu Mingze crazy, trying to liberate his nature.
In just half a month, Qiu Mingze was exposed so much that even his parents couldn't recognize him.
But after being surprised, Mr. and Mrs. Qiu couldn't help but feel happy.
Because they found that their son's spirit and energy looked obviously different after going out.
I have become more cheerful and love to laugh more.
While they were putting down their luggage, Lin Siqiao briefly explained Qiu Mingze's situation and took out a business card.
"Uncle Qiu, this man is a doctor recommended by Dean Zhang. He is very reliable. He is in California."
"Director Zhang suggests that you take Xiaoze in for a checkup every month."
"By the way, he said that you don't have to be so cautious when talking to Xiaoze in the future. Xiaoze is just sick. As long as you actively cooperate with the treatment, he will get better sooner or later."
Mr. and Mrs. Qiu nodded hurriedly to show that they understood.
The matter was almost over, and everyone got in the car. Father Qiu drove Lin Siqiao and the others back to the apartment.
After putting the luggage away, Lu Jianchuan asked Lin Siqiao to take a hot bath first, while he went next door and delivered the gifts that Lin Siqiao brought for them.
"Here, this is what your sister-in-law brought you."
These people all have families, so Lin Siqiao prepared a local Hawaiian silk scarf for each of them, which is perfect to give to their wives when they go back.
In addition, each person also received a bottle of mosquito repellent, which is very effective in relieving itching and swelling. It is perfect for children to use in summer. Lin Siqiao has stockpiled more than ten bottles himself.
Several people scratched their heads, too embarrassed to extend their hands.
"Captain, we have been here for so long and have done nothing. We brothers are too ashamed to take such a good thing from our sister-in-law for nothing."
Lu Jianchuan glanced at them and said, "No situation is the best situation. Take it. Your sister-in-law spent a long time choosing it."
Since Lu Jianchuan said so, the few of them had no choice but to accept it shamelessly.
They didn't have anything to reciprocate at the moment, but luckily Zhang Qi reacted quickly. He ran to the kitchen and brought out a big thing.
"Here, Captain, take it back and ask your sister-in-law to add some more dishes."
"What is this?" Lu Jianchuan asked.
It looks like a chicken, but not quite the same size, and feels heavy in the hand.
"Captain, this is turkey!"
As Zhang Qi spoke, he couldn't help but click his tongue twice, "I don't know what the chickens in this country eat to grow up. A chicken weighs 15 or 16 kilograms."
When they went to the supermarket to buy ingredients for the turkeys this afternoon, they found that everyone had more than two turkeys in their baskets.
After asking, I found out that tomorrow is Christmas, so the supermarket launched a promotion with double discounts.
The original price of a turkey is US$9. If you buy two, you can get a 10% discount, if you buy three, you can get a 20% discount, and so on. However, if you buy more than 6, you can only get a 50% discount.
They are not interested in celebrating foreign festivals, but when the "foreign" hair is right in front of them, they feel they are going against their conscience if they don't pull it out.
"Captain, we are determined to wipe out American imperialism this time!"
Hearing this, Lu Jianchuan immediately had a bad feeling, "How many did you buy?"
“Ten!”
Zhang Qi stretched out his palm and flipped it over. If you listen carefully, you can hear a little pride in his tone.
If they didn't have to return home in half a month at most, they might have bought more. They have no choice but to buy, the prices here are so outrageous.
They tolerated the fact that a carrot was sold for $1.
But why can ordinary onions, ginger and garlic be sold for US$4 per pound?
It has been a few months since they came to the country, but even now when they see the prices in the supermarket, their eyes still darken and their hearts beat faster.
In comparison, it is better to eat meat!
They had already agreed to sleep and roll around in turkey meat during this period of time.
Speaking of this, Zhang Qi couldn't help but sigh. He didn't know when this breed of chicken would be available in China.
This thing is as heavy as five of them. If his mother saw this, she would be so happy.
Lin Siqiao wasn’t sure whether they were interested or not, but when she saw this after coming out of the shower, she felt numb all over.
When Lin Siqiao heard Lu Jianchuan say that the people next door bought a total of 10 turkeys, the corner of his mouth curled up.
Just wait, sooner or later they will regret it.
