In America, the winner takes all.

Chapter 181 Meeting behind the horizon (23)

On the evening of the second day after Ethan and the others arrived in Brazil, a local Brazilian Agrale bison jeep traveled through the narrow roads in the countryside.

The Bison can be understood as the Brazilian localized version of JEEP. The assembly process is really not very good, and the glass will make a shaking sound when the car accelerates.

"Orizontina is not far ahead." Dilson, who was driving, whistled, and he was pulled over by Ethan as a guide and translator in exchange for 3 US dollars in exchange for contact information.Dilson was reluctant at first, but after Ethan said he was considering bringing in other young models from him, he readily agreed to go.

This place is located in Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmost state of Brazil. There are large fields of farmland in all directions, growing green vegetables. You can occasionally see tractors and cow dung on the road.

"No wonder it's called Horizon." Lisa, who was sitting next to Ethan, said subconsciously. She was shaken a lot along the way.

The root word of Orizontina is obviously horizon, and the name seems particularly appropriate now because no matter which direction you look, you can see the horizon in the distance.

Great plains, fertile soil, suitable for farming.Farmers who want to come here will not be poor.

The so-called towns are just a bunch of denser buildings. Ethan is somewhat used to this scene. In a sense, this place is quite similar to Alabama.The largest building in this small town with a population of only 1 and without even traffic lights on the streets is, not surprisingly, a church.

Ethan saw children playing on the side of the road after school, and old people sitting in front of their homes chatting. He could feel the leisurely atmosphere of life here.

Finally, the vehicle entered a wide courtyard in the town. The outside of the building was covered with white tiles with exquisite patterns painted on it. As soon as you entered, you could see the swimming pool in the courtyard.

Ethan and others got out of the car. Dilson spoke Brazilian Portuguese and hugged a middle-aged man and woman.

These two are Gisele Bundchen's parents. They don't look very outstanding in appearance. They are both a bit fat and inconspicuous in a pile of shame.

And when Ethan looked behind the two of them, he found a row of young girls standing there...

"Let me introduce to you, this is Giselle's twin sister, Patricia. She is older than Giselle... by five minutes." Dilson pointed to the one on the far left.

Because they are fraternal twins, she is not similar to Giselle and has a round face.

Dilson introduced in turn, Raquel, Graziela, Gabriella, and the youngest Rafaela who looked only eleven or twelve years old.

To Ethan's surprise, except for the eldest Raquel, who is fatter and has a figure similar to his mother, the remaining three sisters are all relatively outstanding in appearance, especially the youngest Rafaela, who has neat facial features and beautiful skin. Fair-skinned, she is already a little beauty.

While everyone was talking, they heard voices coming from the courtyard.

“Os convidados já chegaram?”

It's a Portuguese sentence.

Ethan turned his head and saw Gisele Bundchen, who was 16 years and two months old.

What is different from the later impression is that Gisele Bundchen's skin color is not wheatish now, but pure milky white, with moist and tender skin.

She walked over with a swaying body. There was no trace of her "domineering steps" in the future, and she was completely in the state of a lively girl.

And when she walked over, her characteristics immediately stood out - she was taller than all her sisters, half a head taller.Ethan's visual inspection is similar to Catherine's.

If the school arranged seats according to height, she would always sit in the last row.

She put her hands behind her back, tilted her body and looked at Lisa, then Sarah, then Dilson, and finally she turned her eyes to Ethan.

She smiled directly at Ethan. Although the smile was a bit shy, it was more of a sign of goodwill.

Then Giselle lowered her head slightly and started talking to her sister.

On the other side, Dilson and Giselle's parents were still communicating. It seemed that Dilson had talked about Ethan's identity. Her parents walked towards Ethan and muttered several German names.

Ethan shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand.

Giselle's mother immediately hugged Ethan and kept patting Ethan on the shoulder, as if she was concerned about seeing a relative.

"That's right. Giselle's mother Valdir has a cousin who immigrated to New England at the end of the 19th century... Although the last name doesn't match, that's your great-grandfather or great-great-grandfather." Dilson translated on the spot.

Gisele's father Vanya even took out a somewhat mottled old photo directly from the house. Due to the age and the limitations of the shooting technology at the time, it looked very blurry. It was only possible to see that the face shape was slightly the same as Ethan's.

In the face of the hard facts, Giselle's parents seemed to have forgotten to think about how Ethan came to the door.

And Ethan just became a distant cousin of Giselle's family.

Lisa and Sarah, who were standing aside, looked at each other with a smile on their faces. They did not expect that things would develop like this.

Ethan and others were warmly welcomed into the room by the Giselle family, and Dilson also took advantage of this moment to get to the point.

After hearing this, the sisters immediately looked at the tallest Giselle.

Giselle herself exclaimed in Portuguese, and could not see any other thoughts besides being slightly surprised.

"Gisele said she hasn't decided whether to become a professional model," Dilson translated.

Gisele's parents asked what was going on.

Ethan compiled a completely new version of the story on the spot.

"My mother's friend and I came to Brazil to visit." Ethan pointed to the two people beside him.

"It happened that they were involved in the modeling business, and through the list, they found the descendants of the surname Bundchen. I recalled that my mother once said that a line of ancestors came to settle in South America, so I came to have a look. All in all, it was a coincidence."

What he said is half true and half false, and the surname "Bündchen" is very rare both in Germany and among Germans outside. In total, there are no more than people with this surname. They can be identified by their surname. It's entirely possible.

"This coincidence can be regarded as God's arrangement. I think Gisele is very suitable to be a model and a relative. She will be taken very good care of. In addition, the Sarah next to me is a well-known model. ·Ms. Douglas…” Ethan began talking at length about how great Sarah was at developing models.

Dilson added some extravagant translation, almost saying, "After signing the contract, your daughter will definitely become a world-famous model like Kate Moss." Earning millions of dollars a year is not a problem.

Giselle's parents looked at Sarah and Lisa and saw that they were dressed in high-end fabrics, elegant and elegant, and they could tell that these two were not ordinary people.In addition, Dilson introduced Kate Moss in detail, which gave a sense of the strength of the two.

The couple thought about it for a while, and finally waved Giselle over.

Giselle walked over silently, clasping her fingers, obviously a little nervous.

Lisa Douglas waved at this time, letting Giselle keep getting closer until she stood in front of her.

At this time, Ethan and Giselle were less than one meter apart. Ethan, who was sitting on the sofa, looked up and found that this girl, who was three years younger than him, was also looking down at him. She pursed her lips and looked at Yisen with her big eyes. Sen, not only to relieve stress, but also to feel curious about Ethan.

Sarah Douglas, like a medical examiner, pulled Giselle's arm, measured Giselle's waist, gestured with her height, and then nodded.

"This is a gift from God. She was born to be a model." Ethan said.

Sarah said: "Which top model has a bad figure? And look at her movements, like a little mare who needs to be reined in at all times. One shoulder is higher and the other is lower. She has to learn the form and steps from scratch. There is also the language problem, and considering her age... I think her younger sister is more suitable."

Sarah looked at Rafaela, who was only eleven or twelve years old.

If it were just for her face, Rafaela would really be the most eye-catching one in the family.Of course, Gisele is not bad either. At this time, Gisele is considered to be at the peak of her appearance in her life.

"Her twin sister is not bad either." Lisa suggested.

Compared to her lively and active sister, her elder sister Patricia is obviously more reserved.

Ethan never expected that the world's No. 1 model would receive such comments when standing in front of the two of them. Apparently, even Sarah Douglas sometimes made mistakes.

Considering her discerning eye, from Kate's morbid aesthetics as a model to Anya Taylor-Joy's wide-set eyes and Cara Delevingne's thick eyebrows, none of them are traditional beauty looks. , it’s normal for her to look down on a “kingly beauty” like Giselle.

As for Lisa...she was looking for actors.

Ethan quickly said: "That's a big mistake. Her value is immeasurable."

During her peak period, Ji Niangniang's dominance in the modeling world was much greater than that of Leonardo DiCaprio in the actor's circle.

Dilson, who was sitting with Giselle's parents, realized that the two big bosses were actually listening to the young man's arrangements. At first, he only thought that Ethan was the son of one of the two...little puppy, now Only then did I realize that this was not a puppy, but a wolf!

"As for the others." Ethan looked at Giselle's sisters.

"You can sign them if you want, but the premise is that their parents are willing. No matter what, the primary target is this tall girl, and everything else is a secondary issue."

Due to the language barrier between the two parties, Ethan spoke more openly.

"It's not like you trained these people..." Sarah muttered.

The number of models she trained was ten times more than the women Ethan had had close contact with. She only felt that Ethan's back hurt when he stood and talked.

Just when the situation reached a deadlock, Giselle suddenly pointed at Ethan and asked.

"She asked Ethan if he was a model," Dilson said.

Ethan shook his head.

"Rugby player."

Giselle understood this sentence.

"Rugby player?" she repeated in a low voice.Because her mother tongue is Portuguese and German, her English pronunciation is not standard, and it can even be said to have a bit of curry flavor.

If we insist on saying that Gisele, who has an invincible figure and appearance, has any shortcomings, it is probably her voice, which sounds thicker.When she first debuted, her nasally accent really caused some trouble for her, but it improved later.

After receiving Ethan's affirmation, she pointed to herself and made a volleyball padding gesture.

With this height, he definitely stands out among the rest of the school. Not playing volleyball or basketball would be a bit of an incompetence.

In fact, her goal since childhood has been to become a member of the Brazilian national women's volleyball team.

It can be said that she has sports genes, otherwise she would not have entered into marriage with a certain rugby player.

At this moment, her preferences rooted in her DNA were revealed.

"Good." She gave Ethan a thumbs up.

The two started talking and gesticulating across languages.Sarah and Lisa couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw this. This was not looking for model prospects, this was clearly looking for a girlfriend.

Ethan probably knew this girl somewhere before, so he dragged himself and Sarah to chase her to Brazil.It’s unmistakable, mostly because of the medium of volleyball, such as some international volleyball team exchanges.Lisa speculated.

The matter had not been settled, and both parties still needed to consider it. Giselle's parents proposed that the four of them stay overnight.

Giselle's farm occupies a vast area, and the country villa has many rooms, more than enough to accommodate four more.

In the evening, Gisele's father made a German-style meal, mostly bacon and sausages.

During the chat, Ethan learned more about Giselle's family. Giselle's grandfather was once the local mayor and the family was relatively wealthy. Giselle's father was considered a "brother-in-law" and even his surname took his wife's. , with the surname Bunchen.Was a bank clerk, now retired.

Several daughters also have their mother's surname, and their mother has the final say in family affairs.She is a sociologist and writer who has published several books in Brazil.

As we all know, daughters follow their mothers. Giselle's mother is so strong and Giselle has an outgoing personality, so naturally she is no different.

At the dinner table, Giselle's mother looked at Ethan who was enjoying his meal and smiled knowingly.

She gave birth to five daughters, all of whom were daughters, but no sons. At Ethan's age, he was also a relative, which made her somewhat affectionate.

After dinner, the daughters were busy with their own business, tidying up and cleaning. Giselle ran out and took an extra look at Ethan before leaving.

Of course, she didn't ask Ethan to come out with her. During the meal, she would look at Ethan from time to time.

Although Ethan was not invited, this did not prevent him from taking the initiative to follow him out. As soon as he came out, he saw Giselle putting on a pair of flip-flops under the eaves, and then flattening the legs of her jeans.

"People eat, pigs eat, together." When she saw Ethan coming out, she smiled and extended an invitation, waving her hand towards Ethan.

It's just that this invitation is a little weird...

Soon, Ethan discovered that she meant what she said.Giselle carried a swill bucket and really took Ethan to the pig pen.

She turned on the light and scooped out the swill with a plastic spoon, making a slurping sound in her mouth while pouring it over, her movements skillful and neat.

Ethan stood aside and shook his head slightly.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have thought that Gisele Bundchen would often feed pigs at home?
Looking at Ethan, who was always standing aside, Giselle smiled and asked, "A city person?"

"Los Angeles."

"Hollywood!" Gisele immediately followed.

"Romeo and Juliet, beautiful, sad." She pretended to be crying, probably because she had watched the version of Romeo and Juliet starring Leonardo DiCaprio not long ago.

"Yes, I know that actor and we are good friends." Ethan said.

"What?" Giselle opened her mouth wide, looking surprised.

"Can you help me get an autograph?" she said immediately, her eyes shining.

This kind of light is very familiar to Ethan. What young girl is not star-struck.

Looking at it this way, there was a reason why she fell in love with Xiao Lizi in her previous life.

Ethan thought for a while and nodded: "Of course, but he is very busy and busy with dating... After all, he is my friend. I can't reveal any unnecessary things. After all, this is his personal life."

He made a point of saying half of what he said.

Sure enough, the young Giselle took the bait and started asking questions.

So Ethan could only say: "Don't tell other people, in fact, he had sex with his good friend's girlfriend before, and he also went to the parking lot with a model at a party, you know. As for whether there are other things, such as with Fans... I don’t know, but every time I see him, it’s a different girlfriend.”

Although, now Xiao Lizi has been completely cut off by himself, and his love life is quite miserable.

But that's exactly what he did in his last life.If he didn't have it, he would still do this.

How can this be called slander?At best it's a liquidation.

Justice may be late, but it will never be absent!
At this moment, Ethan wants to completely obliterate Leo's position in Giselle's heart!

When this basin of dirty water was poured out, Giselle immediately became indignant.

"Bad man!"

She didn't mention asking for an autograph again.

"Don't talk about him anymore, come with me." She waved to Ethan again, and this time she picked up some grass blades on the way.

The destination was the sheep pen. Giselle's family raised many black goats. She handed Ethan the blades of grass to let him experience the feeling of feeding sheep.

Then he took Ethan to the stables at home.

"Today, it will be dark, and tomorrow, I will ride a horse, you see." She stroked the horse's mane.

Finally she took Ethan to the fields.

She squatted on a ridge in the field, holding her chin in her hands, with a peaceful expression.

The Southern Hemisphere is in the transition period between spring and summer at this time, the night temperature is suitable, and unknown insect sounds can be heard.

"Actually, I stayed on a farm. The place where I went to college is similar to here, the University of Alabama." Ethan squatted down and spoke slowly.

"How is your volleyball strength?" Ethan suddenly asked.

Gisele nodded first, then shook his head, which probably meant that he had some strength, but it was still impossible to enter the Brazilian national team.

"But if you enter the modeling industry, you can achieve much more than the Brazilian national team." Ethan began to persuade.

Giselle said nothing and started to clasp her fingers, probably still thinking about it.

"I grew up in Los Angeles and now go to college in Alabama. In my eyes, farms have the prosperity of farms, and cities have the splendor of cities. You should go outside and take a look." Ethan threw a stone, and the stone was thrown out The distance was beyond imagination, and the sound of falling could not even be heard.

"I...model, take off my clothes for everyone to see." Giselle muttered, finally speaking her mind.It turns out I don’t like this.

"Body, show your body, work. Have you worn a swimsuit?"

Giselle nodded: "But, it's less than a swimsuit."

"Then you have to learn to refuse, and Sarah is my friend. You can make requests directly to her. She actually takes good care of young models. After all, she came here like this back then." Ethan said.

For example, in the catwalk show that made Gisele famous in 98, Gisele was only assigned clothes when she arrived. One of the outfits only had pants and no top!In other words...even though she ended up doing body painting and covering up her hair, it still made her feel quite uncomfortable at the time.

This is actually very troublesome, after all, a new model cannot be treated alone.It will affect Gisele's career development to some extent.

But Ethan also prepared for the worst, and at worst he might not be a model anymore.It doesn’t matter if you don’t earn money by being aggrieved.

"Is it really possible?" Giselle rarely showed worry.Don't look at her careless look now, but she is still making calculations in her heart.

"Of course, provided you are good enough, at least..." Ethan turned to her.

At this time, Giselle crossed her legs, her movements somewhat casual and vulgar.

"At least you have to look like a professional who can pose, and you have to have someone to practice your English with you, a lot." Ethan said calmly.

"You speak English so well." Giselle sighed.

Nonsense, I can speak Chinese very well.

"Want to learn? I'll teach you." Ethan said.

Giselle bit her lower lip and nodded dully.

"You know, I know a model. Her style on stage is restrained and calm, which is completely opposite to you now..."

Under the moonlight, two people squatted between heaven and earth. Ethan told the young girl next to him a story about a model...

"So you can earn so much money." Giselle blinked, seeming to be more motivated.

At this moment, a meteor streaked across the night sky. Giselle immediately closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and began to make a wish.

She is a somewhat superstitious person who consults divination and astrology for omens.

"What wish did you make?"

"It doesn't work to say it."

"Then reveal the general direction."

"Forget it, let me tell you, my wish is to make my pig grow stronger! Sell it for a good price." Giselle raised her hands and shouted.

Ethan could only give this comment: "a very pragmatic wish."

I just feel like Giselle is so down to earth now.

But then I thought about it, isn’t it supposed to be innocent at this age?It would not be a good thing if she was in a deep and sensitive state at this time.What she is doing now proves that she has a happy family and has been well protected since she was a child.

People always have to grow up, she is only 16 years old, she has to give her some time, and she cannot judge others by her own standards as a time traveler.

Ethan thought, but didn't notice the sly smile on Giselle's face.

Just kidding, how can you say the wish you made? This is of course made up.

　In the article, it is true that Giselle raised pigs, sheep and horses in her hometown.In addition, I wrote her character when she was young based on her state shown in some ancient records.Of course, it can also be understood that people are just pretending in front of the camera. This is a matter of opinion.
