Chris's arrival made Auntie Mary extraordinarily happy.
She asked Beefen to close the store early and took Chris as well as Beefen and Abigail to the market to buy ingredients.
In the market, Auntie Mary did not forget to buy a piece of all the ingredients she saw in her hand: Saying that she must make a sumptuous dinner to welcome Chris.
After Chris bought the ingredients with them, he got into Beefen's car and went to Auntie Mary's home.
After Beefen came to Canada, she got her driver's license and bought a 2nd-hand Chevrolet sedan.
This was to drive Auntie Mary and Abigail between home and Springstown every day.
Chris did not expect that Beefen had bought such a 2nd-hand low-end car and could not help but ask her: "Beefen, why don't you buy a better car?"
Beefen said with a smile: "The car is a means of transportation."
"There is no need to buy too good, used cars are cheap, and insurance is also cheap."
"Can save a lot of money, cuts and scrapes do not hurt much, this car displacement is low, fuel consumption is also low, and it is practical."
Chris said seriously: "At least buy a new car, you should have told me."
Beefen said: "Brother Chris, you must not send me a car."
"If you send me I will not drive it, don't you know I grew up in the orphanage, grew up thrifty."
"There is no special pursuit of material things, and my life now, compared to the year in the orphanage, has been too much better and content."
As she said, she smiled and said, "Maybe I don't have the life to enjoy it."
After listening, Chris nodded empathetically.
In fact, similar to Beefen, he did not have any particular pursuit of material things.
If he was by himself, clothing, food, housing, and transportation are actually not many requirements.
In terms of a car as well, he is just as indifferent, strictly speaking: He does not have a car of his own until now, usually goes out either by driving his wife's car, or father-in-law's car……
As for the car given to him by others, he is not interested in the slightest.
Therefore, he is very understanding of Beefen's frugality.
If a person themselves have a little high demand for material things, then too good material conditions, on the contrary, will make her rush to do nothing.
The house that Griffin bought for Auntie Mary is not far from Springstown: It is in the best and the most expensive Springsen community near Marlikio's Springstown.
This is a very typical North American single-family house: The house ground although has only 2 floors, but covers a huge region.
The yard and the green space in front of the door is bigger, giving people a very spacious and comfortable feeling.
This also made Chris sigh, this community where Auntie Mary lives, the green region of each household is even much huger than his home in Tommyson.
This is the advantage of the wide land and sparse people.
The whole community is built very sparsely, looks more like a big park, the environment is very good.
Almost all the people you can see in the community are Springsen: And even if they don't have any basic English, their lives will not be affected in the slightest.
It is indeed very friendly to Springsen immigrants who do not have a basic knowledge of English and do not adapt to Westsern life.
Beefen parked the car and couldn't wait to take Chris into the house to visit it.
The houses in North America are not allowed to be sold rough: They are basically completely renovated and equipped with home appliances before they are sold to the public: So this house is very well decorated, the supporting furniture and appliances are also international big brands, the overall grade is very high.
After visiting the house, Chris was satisfied with it.
It seems that Griffin did not treat Auntie Mary badly, and such a house is definitely a luxury house in Marlikio.
As soon as Auntie Mary entered the house, she hurried to the kitchen to prepare dinner: And Abigail followed her to help with the cooking.
Chris also wanted to help, but was driven out by Auntie Mary: In her words, Chris is a guest, there is no reason to let the guest come to the kitchen.
Chris saw that she was resolute, so he didn't insist.
Beefen then took this opportunity to give Chris a good tour of the house.
