Chapter 7 BBQ Party

On the morning of July 28, the courier rode a tricycle through the streets and alleys, and the back truck was filled with various packages.

The U.S. Postal Company is one of the few "state-owned enterprises" in the official world. While employees have high benefits, they don't have to worry about unemployment. As long as they lay off employees, they will be supported by unions, which will lead to employees being lazy and delivering goods that are astonishingly slow.

If it weren't for this, other companies wouldn't have grown up smoothly. The old-fashioned SSAT organizing committee members were still using the US Postal Service to send transcripts in order to save money.

Today, the transcript was finally delivered to home. Lisa, who received the transcript, called Link down and said, "Display it and see how it is. Even if the exam is not bad, it doesn't matter."

Link took the envelope and casually tore open the paper bag outside, which contained only a thin page of transcripts, which was folded out from the middle.

Link looked down at the printed content and said, "The total score is 2389, and the proportion of each subject is more than 99%. This kind of score is almost stable, and it is no problem to get scholarships at Lola High School."

The total SSAT score is not simply about the score, the key is to look at the percentage of SSAT.

The SSAT percentage is used to indicate the position of a student's grades in the past three years compared to all candidates of the same grade and gender in the past three years, ranging from one percent to ninety-nine percent. The higher the higher the student, the better it means. American school admissions officers attach great importance to this.

The total SSAT score is only 2,400 points, and he only lost 11 points. Even the top private middle schools in the United States, which are ranked high in this category, will rush to ask for him.

I had estimated that the score should be good before, but Link didn't expect it to be so high. After all, he also has questions such as composition, and he is not as good as science in this regard.

After hearing this, Lisa couldn't help but say excitedly: "Thank God, it's really a great child, I'm proud of you!"

After receiving this good news, Lisa immediately called Robert, who was still at work, and then when she came back from supper, the family decided to hold a barbecue party to celebrate after discussion.

Statistics show that Americans eat 25 kilograms of beef a year on average, and Texans obviously have to love beef more, so they only need months to eat so much, especially barbecue and beer.

It can even be said that the three things that Texans are most interested in are God, football and barbecue, regardless of order.

Of course, Robert did not invite too many people, but invited a few neighbors and besties to clean up the seats in his backyard and prepare the oven and beef. Then these guests would bring some of their own dishes. Page's parents Barry and Linda also attended the barbecue party.

Barry is a bit tall and thin, he is a dentist and has a very good income.

There is a very strange phenomenon in this place in the United States, that is, fat people are generally poor, while people from the white-collar workers and even the rich rarely have fat people, and their figures will maintain a very good figure.

In fact, this principle and reason are very simple. Rich people can spend money to exercise to maintain their figure. Of course, poor people don’t have the money to exercise to maintain their figure.

Moreover, rich people can buy expensive organic food to eat, while poor people can only eat cheap inorganic or junk food, and of course they cannot be compared with rich people or even white-collar workers.

Barry casually said to Link: "So Link, before I knew your grades, I heard that you were smart, and I didn't believe it before..."

"My talent does have some talent, but I really can't be smart compared to Peggy." Link said: "You know, Peggy is the real genius, and I can't help but envy him."

"No matter what, being able to achieve such results means you are a genius." Link was mature and decent, which made Barry always have a good impression of him.

"Link is right. Even if he is smarter than ordinary people, it doesn't seem to be much different in my opinion." At this moment, Pegg next to him interrupted, and her mother Linda immediately said, "Peggy!"

Seeing this, Peggy could only glar at Link, and Linda said to Link: "No matter what, Link, we will regard you as Pegg's brother. You know, Peggy is very special, and few people are willing to be friends with her, but she is obviously much happier from knowing you."

"You are polite. In fact, I also like to get along with Page. After all, my future ambition is to become a scientist and have someone who can communicate with each other. I have learned a lot from her."

Page's mother is a little more enthusiastic about Link. After all, Page's IQ is too high, there are almost no friends of the same age.

After all, when you are with someone, you will feel that you are useless, and it will be difficult for you to have a good impression of someone. Even Peggy's sister has a very average relationship with Peggy.

Linda also spent a lot of energy to prevent Pegg from becoming a child with lack of emotional intelligence.

But even so, the crush brought by high IQ also makes Peggy feel somewhat stupid and self-centered when facing others. However, Peggy is not as exaggerated as Sheldon. In addition, his emotional intelligence is getting higher and higher, Peggy has begun to learn to cover up these things.

After chatting with Page's family, Link went over to Robert's place again, wearing big beach shorts, a black T-shirt, the standard casual outfit of most American families.

Most people in the United States dress in a casual and casual manner. Even the rich will have people wearing this kind of dress.

So Americans are always laughed at by Europeans, saying that Americans dress up as rustic as rural people.

Americans don’t care about this, they do whatever they feel comfortable, and they don’t care about other people’s opinions and opinions at all.

Of course, this only refers to the fact that Americans wear formal clothes when they are free, when they go to work, attend important meals and parties.

"Oh, our genius is here!" Robert saw Link coming, and pulled Link to chat with several colleagues, saying:

"William King's son was proud of his admission to the California University of the Arts. So what? It's just an art school in California.

Those artists will only doodle randomly or become addicted to drugs, and my Elizabeth is ready to go to the Department of Biology at the University of Chicago and will become a doctor in the future, and Link will become a scientist in the future..."

In terms of chatting, bragging and comparing one's own children, there are actually some similarities on both sides of the Pacific.

The next thing was simple. Everyone ate barbecue and drank beer. Parents and children, husbands and wives gathered in their own small circles.

Robert and his middle-aged men held up beer and became rude while eating roasting. The wives gathered together to chat about gossip. For example, in the community, whose wife had a fucking wife and whose husband had mistresses outside.

In short, these housewives who are busy with housework on weekdays talk about are basically these gossip scandals, which is a bit boring, but they are still happy.
