Chapter 100: Kicked out of the house

It's been a few years since the last time I came over.

The Lambolds live in a larger, more luxurious house, located on a hillside overlooking the golf course and woods.

Considering that Mr. Lamber began to invest in the stocks of Apple, Amazon and other companies as early as 2010, and invested more than 30 million yuan in compensation obtained after the accidental death of his son and daughter-in-law, it would not surprise Zhang Xiaokai to be able to afford such a house.

The old couple is already old.

Mr. Lamber Sr. once said that he made money to make Miss Adlina Lamber's life more comfortable in the future, and now it seems that it has been very successful, even on the Irvine side, there are not many billionaires worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and Adlina is already one of them.

It looks beautiful on the outside and beautiful on the inside.

There are pools, garages, gardens, and a big kennel with a Labrador.

In such a comparison, Zhang Xiaokai felt that his own "country villa" was a little uncomfortable, and it was not as good as this house in terms of visual experience, and he was wondering whether he should renovate it, anyway, he could live in the resort for the time being.

The elders chatted and said that they had time to go to the golf course.

Zhang Xiaokai went to Adriana's room and sat on the balcony to chat with her, and later it became playing games on their mobile phones together and talking in the sun.

After lunch, I went shopping around the street again, and went to watch a movie as my dad said, and the atmosphere was only a little ambiguous, slightly like the relationship between men and women who came out on a date.

But it's only a little bit, and they don't take the initiative with each other, so how can there be a story.

——————

Nearly two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Xiaokai continued to retire after returning home, and on weekends he would play games with Adlina, and spend more time watching dramas, from "Seinfeld" to "Growing Pains", to "The Walking Dead" and "Game of Thrones".

After the beef cattle he raised this year were sold, the cowboys who worked at his house were finally able to relax.

The ditch to the Gordes Ranch has been dug and is now being paved with asphalt, the vegetation is withering, and the weather is already quite cold in December.

felt that his son was about to be abolished, so Daddy Zhang took the initiative to buy a ticket to Hawaii before Christmas, and asked his son to leave this comfortable nest and go to his grandfather Ronald Sr., live there for a while and come back.

Although Zhang Xiaokai has a high achievement, but Zhang Xiaokai is not the kind of character who can see people idle, this thing is not dragged at all, one morning Zhang Xiaokai just woke up, was dragged to the airport, so that he once thought that old Ronald had an accident.

Just go, anyway, I've been at home enough for more than five months.

A few hours after boarding, the plane landed on Honolulu Island, the capital of Hawaii, and before getting on the plane, he was contacted, and a company sent a car to pick him up and deliver it to the address left by Ronald Sr.

It is an orchard located in the southeast of the island, far from the city.

Zhang Xiaokai is not the only one who seems unable to adapt to city life, he has been in Brookings for a long time, and even if he decided to live in Hawaii, Ronald Sr. still chose a place to avoid the crowds.

You can see Native Hawaiians picking mangoes from roadside orchards, and they have darker skin and look more like Asian.

The driver got out of the car and asked for directions, which successfully sent Zhang Xiaokai to the door of a white house located by the sea, and left a business card after collecting the fee, saying that he needed to use the car to call him.

It's not the same as you might think.

There are no high-rise buildings, only sunny beaches and coconut groves, isn't it equivalent to changing to a more comfortable place at the beginning of the temperature to continue to "retire"?

Zhang Xiaokai has already come up with the idea of going out to buy a TV set and a CD, and continue to watch the TV series "Game of Thrones......

Ronald Sr. bought this small orchard, about two hundred acres, not comparable in size to the Cleveland ranch, but with a comfortable sandy beach, the sea is sunlit and the color is clear.

When Zhang Xiaokai arrived, the old man was wearing a flower shirt and pants, resting on a rocking bed among the coconut trees.

I haven't seen each other for a while, and old Ronald recognized his grandson at a glance, and shouted with a smile and a loud voice: "I thought you would come to visit me a few years ago, it's really rare, your father called me and asked me if I had any free room to entertain you, what's the matter, I found my stepmother, I don't want you to stay at home anymore?"

"What's the matter, I guess it's because I'm too idle at home, so I've been looking at me unpleasantly lately, lie down for me, it's so close from the map, it's so long to fly by plane, how have you been doing lately?"

Zhang Xiaokai didn't be polite to old Ronald, in fact, with the old man's temper, he didn't need anyone to be polite to him.

Got up and gave the shaker to Zhang Xiaokai, his grandfather smiled and said: "Very good, no one cares about me living here alone, I saw my orchard on the way, let someone send a few coconuts later, if you can climb the tree, you can also go up and pick it yourself, but be careful of being smashed in the head." ”

The coconut trees, which are several meters high, do not even have branches, where do you dare to climb.

"No, what does it mean to live alone, what about the lady?"

"Gone, but not really gone, just said that I needed freedom, and I couldn't concentrate on staying in the same place, so I traveled occasionally and came back to live for a while when I was free. I'm so old, I don't have the energy to keep tossing around the world. ”

Zhang Xiaokai has only seen the woman once, and until now he doesn't know what she is trying to do with the old man, this is old Ronald's private matter, I want to think about it, I didn't say much.

There was wind on the beach, with a salty smell of the sea, and even lying in the shade, the temperature made his back sweat.

Talking about what had happened recently, he quickly took off his pants and went to swim in the sea for a while.

After entering the old man's house, he took a shower and changed clothes, turned on the air conditioner to continue his life, and took a bottle of beer at hand, not treating himself as an outsider at all.

I used to worry about the old man, but now I look very chic, at least until I saw the pile of bills on the table.

It seems that the elder Ronald gave his credit card to the woman, because he has a record of spending in Iceland, accommodation, food, transportation, etc., which seems to be not much, but he also spent more than 40,000 US dollars last month.

Not married, let alone childless, this is Ronald's own choice, Zhang Xiaokai thought about it, and felt that there was no need to say more, if the old man was disgusted by this, he would have stopped his credit card a long time ago, and he is not Alzheimer's at present.

Maybe he would come to visit him once in a while, and more often than not, which is exactly what Ronald Sr. wanted.

At this age, it doesn't matter if you have money or not, the most important thing is to be happy.

Zhang Xiaokai didn't covet the old man's money, and felt the need to ask, but in the end, it was better to see the old man's own meaning......
