The graduation trip lasted more than a month in total, plus I didn't go home for the first few months.

Calculating the time, more than five months have passed since I left home at the beginning of the year, and it will be almost half a year.

The total mileage of the new car quickly exceeded 1,000 miles, and it was relatively easy to drive after the run-in period.

There's really nothing to say about the workmanship of the Rolls-Royce, but the original Bentley wasn't bad either.

was dismantled to the shell, and everything else of value was taken away, and I have to admit that the gang of "car thieves" are really powerful.

Although the insurance company paid for the vast majority of the car purchases, what really made Zhang Xiaokai care was not money.

If the car was still there, he could have told people that it had bypassed half of the United States, but not anymore, and the memorial value was more than the actual value.

When passing through San Francisco, I deliberately took a detour to visit the graves, and almost three or four times a year, I was already familiar with the road.

I didn't think that time could forget that accident, but now that I look at it, the wound in my heart will indeed heal, but the scar will always be there.

That accident was a watershed, which completely pushed Zhang Xiaokai into another life, and now this kind of mentality of liking to think and not liking to say, and having no desire for external things is also inseparable from the trauma of adolescence.

However, I can already collect my mood and look forward, smile and talk about what I have seen and heard during this time, and then continue on the road after a while.

……

Shortly after crossing the state line, you will arrive at the small town of Brookings.

Time has had little impact on the old town itself, and over the years, most of the locals have remained the same, living in a seemingly lively, but everyday life.

The relationship between the Zhang family and the residents of the town is not very good.

As early as a few years ago, some people maliciously hoped that the Han family would go bankrupt, but not only did they not go bankrupt, but they became richer and richer.

It doesn't have much enmity, and it has nothing to do with the old Ronald who now lives in Hawaii.

It's just a group of small town residents who haven't seen much of the world, envy and jealousy of his family, and hate him.

The rich have the life circle of the rich, and the common people have the life circle of the common people, and it is difficult to live in perfect harmony, and the locals are relatively barbaric, this estrangement has been left behind since the Cleveland Ranch did not employ the residents of Brookings.

In addition, there is also the reason why Daddy Zhang doesn't like to socialize.

At the beginning, the ranch cowboys had an unpleasant quarrel with the townspeople, and Daddy Zhang naturally preferred his own people, so he also left a bad reputation.

Probably in the same form, but you can't kill them all with a stick, and some people in the local area are actually quite good and can't get used to the xenophobic atmosphere in the town.

When Zhang Xiaokai came to the town to purchase ingredients, someone greeted him warmly, bought the vegetables according to the list sent by his father, and got into the car to rush home......

The Cleveland ranch is still so beautiful in July.

To the south, you can see the mountains, the leaves of the redwood trees are thick, the river meanders, and the secret hidden in the water has always been known only to Zhang Xiaokai, who has not taken it out for a long time, and let it be covered by silt and aquatic plants.

There are many cattle and sheep in this season, and cowboys will sit on horseback and look this way when they see a car coming.

Since last year, when more than 100 cattle were stolen and more than 100 cattle were lost, the ranch staff have been more cautious, installing power grids and numerous cameras around the area, and hiring a few elderly people to take turns guarding the gates.

As for the group of people who came to steal cattle, they didn't know that some of the cattle had positioning devices on their ears, and after being easily arrested, they admitted that they were working for a certain animal husbandry breeding company, and finally settled out of court, and the Zhang family received more than 4.7 million yuan in compensation, and the matter was over.

There is more than one breeder who is worried about the so-called "Cleveland cattle", but no one has ever found the secret of this ranch, and even if they do successfully steal the uncastrated bulls that can be used for breeding, they will not succeed in the end, because they are really just ordinary cattle, but on this pasture, they grow better than other people's cattle.

He didn't get along well with some people in the small town of Brookings, but the Cleveland Ranch was very harmonious inside, and in order to give the employees more time to spend with their families, Daddy Zhang even built more single-family cabins, allowing his cowboys to bring their families over to live.

This approach, coupled with a relatively high salary, makes more people choose to stay unless they have to leave for some reason, and old acquaintances such as Kenny, Hank, and Patrick Jr. are still there.

Knowing that his son is coming home this time, he will not leave for a long time in the future, he has officially graduated from Harvard University, and he does not plan to continue his studies.

So when Zhang Xiaokai entered the house, he just smiled, and he wasn't even excited by the big white bear that pounced on Zhang Xiaokai like crazy.

The cat's lifespan is not long, but Tom the fat cat is still full of energy, and after a few months, it seems to have gotten fatter again, and now it is the fattest cat in the world, and has been certified by the Guinness Book of Records.

I thought about helping it lose weight, but if it couldn't eat enough, this guy would even go out to find food by himself, and he didn't think about losing weight at all, and the veterinarian checked it and said that there was no big problem with health for the time being, so he went with it.

"Hey, calm down, man. ”

Zhang Xiaokai rubbed the head of the Mocha bear, looked away from it, and asked his father: "Those railings on the side of the road should have been installed a long time ago, so that the road will not be blocked by cattle and sheep, they also like to excrete feces on the road, just now I was worried that it would rub against the chassis of the car." ”

"How about installing a fence first, and then next spring I plan to buy a batch of shrubs and flowers to plant on the side of the road, eat crabs at night, and make a meal with the vegetables you bought?"

"Yes, beef stew with carrots, I want to eat this. ”

Before leaving Harvard, I packed my luggage and sent it to me during my graduation trip, and left it by the living room window.

Putting his luggage there, Zhang Xiaokai fumbled in his bag for a while, and took his father's gift to him, which was a very good Patek Philippe minute repeater with a tourbillon.

Help with the ingredients.

After the dishes are ready, he eats directly, most of the time he is asking, and Zhang Xiaokai is telling him all kinds of interesting things that happened during the trip, such as the shark on the beach in Miami, and the Robert Downey Jr. seen in Los Angeles.

Meimei enjoys a Chinese meal and goes out for a walk with the Mocha bear after the meal, while the peacocks in the cage compete for the screen, and a marmot is by the cage thinking about their food.

You can see the joy of the big white bear, one person and one bear, so slowly walk along the road, and the sky is full of colorful clouds in the distance......
