Chapter 48: Miscellaneous Matters

After talking to Miss Norma, her mood did improve.

On the way back to the bedroom, Zhang Xiaokai called his father with a Nokia N95 mobile phone with a screen, saying that he wanted to write a book and asked him if he could.

After Daddy Zhang was silent for a long time, he first asked him if he really wanted to write, so Zhang Xiaokai repeated the story of Mr. Chris Stewart coming to him again, and his father meant to wait until he came to school tomorrow.

After hanging up, Zhang Xiaokai looked at the old mobile phone that seemed to be unable to support it, and began to think about how to ask his father to help him change to a new one, the Apple iPhone4 that was just launched some time ago, and another student in the dormitory next door is using it, and many classmates in the class are also using it, but he is envious.

Smartphones are still a new word in this era, and Apple began to break out, and its production capacity has not been able to keep up with sales, and it has sold quite hotly.

I used to think that the old Ronald's N97 was very powerful, and when compared with it, it became a defective product.

I want it, but I can't afford it, and now I owe a lot of debt, and the loan of more than $5 million will be repaid next year, and the purchase of calves also requires a lot of money......

Back to the dormitory.

I found that KFC's fried chicken bucket and half pizza were still there, and I happened to miss dinner and shared it with my roommates.

He started reading at half past seven and saw that it was past two o'clock in the night, and his energy was still vigorous, and his sleep time was shorter than usual, about five hours of sleep was enough.

I opened my laptop, and suddenly thought of what my classmates often said on Facebook, and after searching, I downloaded and registered an account, and randomly found a photo of Tom the fat cat as an avatar, followed the instructions to register, and added a few friends from the same school who recommended it to me, and by the way, I also added old acquaintances from the ranch such as Patrick Jr. and Hank.

After thinking about it, I searched for the names of my parents again, and unexpectedly found that her account was full of records related to herself.

From the beginning to the bottom, he left a word.

- "I miss you so much. ”

——————————

On Friday, at four o'clock in the afternoon.

Daddy Zhang parked the Raptor pickup truck outside the campus, this big guy was very conspicuous, and Zhang Xiaokai quickly found it.

Seeing that my father was alone, he was surprised and asked, "Your leg ...... Can I drive?"

"What are you afraid of, isn't this all the way to San Francisco? ”

Daddy Zhang is not a reckless character, he thinks it's okay to drive, even if he can joke about his own life, he won't take his son's safety as child's play, and asked: "The matter is probably done, your grandfather has already set off and slipped away before being retaliated by a group of people, it is we who are unlucky, fortunately there are many people in the ranch, otherwise you will be miserable." ”

"Huh, what's going on?"

After listening to his father's narration, Zhang Xiaokai learned that it was because of reporting someone else's escape from prison, and Ronald was almost retaliated against, and the other party found someone to prepare to kill him.

Suddenly I thought of something, and I couldn't cry or laugh: "I just said that why is that old man so strange, he doesn't even want a ranch, what do you say to see the world, it turns out that he knows that he will be unlucky, so he sells the ranch and runs away! Okay, this is the style of old Ronald!"

“…… I guess there's a reason for that. ”

Father Zhang also felt speechless, and when he called to ask the old man, the other party swore that he didn't have long to live and couldn't waste it in prison.

Typical "dead friends do not die poor" thinking.

You can't say it's wrong to report someone trying to break out of jail, and that's certainly true.

But the old man's idea was very speechless, let others increase the punishment for this, and release it early, probably because he was worried that he ran away decisively, and he didn't even want Cleveland Ranch.

"And then, I won't take revenge on you, right?"

"I have already told the other party that the old man sold the ranch and left, and the police also learned the news and took me to meet with the gangster leader who was reported by the old man. The white spirit bear you raised is very powerful, and when you see someone coming to the door, you also bite one of them, and you will pay 20,000 US dollars for medical expenses, and you will settle it in private, and if it is known by others, it is likely to take away the bear. ”

I felt sorry for the 20,000 US dollars, Daddy Zhang was already very poor, and sighed at this time.

The little white bear Mocha is now about to become an adult, and his size is larger than that of other white spirit bears, Zhang Xiaokai didn't expect that guy to be like a dog who can protect the owner, and can't help but sigh that he didn't raise it in vain.

In order to keep Mocha, at first I was taught a lesson by the old man for it.

Sitting in the car and talking about what happened recently, the handover of the Cleveland ranch has been almost handled, the adult cattle raised for Wal-Mart have been taken away, the average weight of Angus cattle is as high as 690 kilograms, which is obviously a lot stronger than the Angus cattle raised in other ranches, and bulls of more than 750 kilograms abound.

Wait until next month, the more than 3,000 sheep can also be sold, even if they are sold, the funds are still not enough, recently Daddy Zhang is busy with loans, Wal-Mart seems to have the idea of continuing to cooperate next year, and is still talking about specific details.

There is no need for Zhang Xiaokai to worry about these for the time being, but there is nothing to talk about, and he needs to rest after driving for so long, so Daddy Zhang told his son everything.

……

After Zhang Xiaokai said that he wanted to change his mobile phone, he drove to downtown San Francisco without saying a word and found an Apple store located in a downtown area.

On ordinary holidays, it is not appropriate to pick up the Cleveland ranch and come back.

Daddy Zhang's apartment had not been returned at the time, but he just took advantage of the holiday to accompany him.

It's just a mobile phone, it's rare to want a gift, he must agree to this little request, don't affect his studies, he has never bothered about learning, and he was a little surprised to learn that his son was already preparing for college.

In June of this year, Apple's Steve Jobs held a press conference to officially launch Apple's fourth-generation mobile phone, the iPhone 4, and since then this product has quickly taken the world by storm.

After the father and son parked the car and entered the directly operated store, they tried it out accompanied by a shopping guide, and tried it carefully like a hillbilly, for fear of poking the screen.

I used to use a fool machine, and it was only a few months on the market, and the vast majority of people were like the two of them, and they had never tried such a clear touch screen, and they always felt that the high-end was advanced, not to mention Zhang Xiaokai, even his father couldn't help but be moved, especially when he learned that the 16GB version signed a two-year contract, the price was only $199, and the two-year contract price of the 32GB version was $299.

After the trial, I quickly placed an order, and I can't get it until after three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and the flagship store in the big city is more in supply, after all, Apple is in the Silicon Valley area south of San Francisco.

I was busy for a while, signed a contract to pay by credit card, and looked at the trial machine before leaving, and then left with the regret that I couldn't get my hands on it in time.

I drove to a Chinese restaurant, four dishes and one soup, I ate quite enjoyable, I ate back and forth, and it was still the most suitable Chinese food for Zhang Xiaokai's taste.

After dinner, go to the mall, because you are disabled, you can use a special parking space, which is a rare benefit after missing a leg, you don't have to drive for half an hour, find a parking space for half an hour, buy some thick clothes after winter, as well as shoes and socks stationery and so on.

Most of the reason is that he has become a single-parent family, and recently Daddy Zhang has taken care of his son's emotions and wants to give him the best things.

On Saturday afternoon, after getting his mobile phone, Zhang Xiaokai went back to school, and Zhang's father went back to the Cleveland ranch in Oregon to continue to be busy there, bringing some canned meat for Tom the fat cat.

Zhang Xiaokai misses those two fat guys a little, and he hasn't seen them for more than a month in the blink of an eye.

Mr. Stewart came to the door again, this time talking openly and honestly, and the other party talked to Daddy Zhang on the phone, saying that he was only responsible for writing, and the copyright income belonged to Daddy Zhang, probably because he was afraid of being rejected, so Mr. Stewart took the initiative to bring up this matter when he first talked.

In fact, his life is quite good, but he has a dream of being a writer in his heart.

In the next week, he came to Zhang Xiaokai several times, and Zhang Xiaokai concentrated on preparing for the upcoming ACT exam, he wanted to try it first, and then prepare for it again next year, anyway, he could take the test many times until he got a satisfactory score.

In this case, a few days later, the weekend was again ushered in.

After Daddy Zhang arrived, he took Zhang Xiaokai south along Highway 1 in California, saying that he was going to Irvine to visit Mr. Lamberburg and ask him for his decision to publish the book......
