Chapter 27: Adriana
The old man is not good, but the wine is okay.
After drinking too much, I find a place to sleep, sometimes on the side of the street, sometimes in the car. As an old drunkard, you know how much you have and don't have to hold the toilet and vomit.
The next morning I had a headache and came with some alcohol to relieve my hangover, obviously with a serious alcohol addiction.
In the eyes of the inhabitants of the United States, this is also a disease, no less harmful than other terrible things that are prone to psychological and physical dependence, and there are countless people and families ruined by drinking.
People in their sixties, they don't go to the road, they pay attention to their bodies, Zhang Xiaokai can't persuade anything, he will take time to look at him when he goes to the toilet at night, for fear that the old man will never wake up again when he sleeps.
It was very worrying for him to have such a bad grandfather who was "full of five poisons", but what could he do, the old man never listened to persuasion.
Morning.
Mr. Burns, a Jew who had bought two bluefin tuna yesterday, sent for the fish to be taken away and the balance of the deposit was settled.
The financial pressure eased slightly, the old man didn't worry about debts, Zhang Xiaokai breathed a sigh of relief first, even if he didn't pay the money by then, at least he wouldn't owe so much.
At the age of twelve, it is time to understand something.
The weather was sunny for a few days, and finally ushered in a cloudy day, there seemed to be a light rain at night, and the surface outside the window was still wet, and the grass by the river was growing happily, and there were cattle and sheep scattered by the river grazing in the distance.
With such a large pasture, there is enough space for cattle and sheep to move.
At seven o'clock, the nurse came to the door again.
This female nurse named Logan Larson looks pretty good, works in a small hospital in the town, and finds her spare time to come over part-time, which can earn an extra $2,000 a month, which is a lot of income, so she is very conscientious, even on weekdays, and comes on time.
On weekdays, they are in a hurry and then drive to the hospital to work, and there are no professional nurses in the small town of Brookings, and even if they do, they are well paid.
Hiring Miss Logan is the most cost-effective result, she has worked in the hospital for several years, knows how to take care of comatose patients, and occasionally helps Zhang Xiaokai's comatose father massage to avoid muscle atrophy too quickly.
After being unconscious for a long time, the body is still functioning, and he is able to breathe on his own instinct.
Eating is a liquid injection, which is injected into the stomach through a tube, and drinking water is also used.
I haven't woken up for such a long time, and according to the doctor, it's unlikely that I'll wake up.
Vegetative person, just thinking of this word Zhang Xiaokai will feel sorry for his father, but as long as there is a little hope, he will not choose to give up treatment.
"So let's do it today, I have to buy a new batch of urinary catheters recently, and other things, your grandfather will reimburse him, right?"
Looking at her watch, she was about to be late for work, and Miss Logan didn't see old Ronald, so she had to ask Zhang Xiaokai.
Zhang Xiaokai helped his father cover the quilt and replied: "Of course, if you need anything, just buy it, I still have some money there." ”
Logan liked him very much, but at the same time felt sorry for what happened to the family, and continued to speak: "You remember to tell your grandfather, let's go out first, have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet, there was leftover bread from yesterday in the fridge. ”
"Maybe I can bring you a breakfast tomorrow, anyway, I can prepare one more for you, it's no ......"
The door was reopened.
The frostbite on Daddy Zhang's face and ears has healed, his eyes are closed, and at this moment, the spring thunder outside exploded, and no one noticed his thumb, and suddenly bent it, and then his legs also moved.
————————————
Adlina Lambourg.
The little girl was only nine years old, and since the loss of her parents in that wilderness, she had not recovered well despite the care of her elders.
The mixed-race girl, who used to be lively and cheerful, no longer likes to laugh, and spends more time just in a daze, no longer getting along with her former friends, and occasionally wakes up crying in the middle of the night.
If she wants to get rid of the shadows, more than a month is not enough, and she is too young, far less strong than Zhang Xiaokai.
Adleena's grandfather and grandmother, because they still had jobs and had a lot of other things, returned to France first.
Her grandparents, who flew from Munich, Germany, stayed with her to take care of her and take over the business of her father.
Before his retirement, Mr. Lambberg held a junior executive position in the BMW Group, and he did not want his son's hard work to be gone.
A reporter from a newspaper went to the Cleveland ranch to try to interview, and after the old man was closed, he came to interview Mr. Lambold, and told Mr. Lamber about Zhang Xiaokai and his father, and the little girl Adlina heard about it and offered to visit the unconscious man.
At that time, Daddy Zhang took care of her, and she never saw her again after leaving the hospital.
Probably because Mr. Lamberd had entrusted himself to the care of that strange man before his death, Adlina felt that Daddy Zhang had the shadow of her father, and she also wanted to see the young man who did not want to talk to her.
Because of a similar experience, Adlina could understand his feelings very well, so she wanted to visit even more.
It's not too far from Irvine, Orange County, California, to Brookings, Oregon.
Mr. Lamber thought that he should take his granddaughter out for a walk, fulfill her wishes, check the map, plan the road, and set off with his granddaughter to the north after finishing the company's affairs.
The car is a red Bentley Continental GT version, Mr. Lambold's son just bought it before the accident, and he can smell the leather while sitting in it, even if it is a brand owned by the old rival Volkswagen Group, this old German man has to admit that it is indeed a very good car.
Heading north along Highway 1, I arrived in Sonoma County yesterday and stayed overnight before heading out early in the morning to buy a fruit basket as a gift.
Because he saved his granddaughter's life, Mr. Langbao is ready to help the Zhang family father and son if they are in trouble.
When he came to the small town of Brookings, the old gentleman in a striped suit and his hair was combed to the point that he got out of the car to ask for directions, and the other party had a strange expression when he heard the name "Ronald Cleveland", but Old Lambieh didn't think much about it, thanked him in English with a strange emphasis, got in the car and continued to set off.
He could feel that this trip had made Adriana's mood a little better......
When the red Continental arrived, Zhang Xiaokai was helping the cat shovel feces.
As the old Ronald said, it's really, really smelly, and the fat and bloated cat can eat and pull, so big.
Endure the feeling of nausea and vomiting, throw the paper towel into the toilet with cat feces and flush it, and wash your hands twice repeatedly, which is comfortable.
Mocha the White Spirit Bear was playing in the corner by himself, and Tom the Fat Cat was running nowhere.
This cat can not only pull, but also very sluggish, not even a forty-centimeter-high sofa can not jump on, only when feeding snacks will be close to people, after eating, wipe the mouth, immediately return to the height.
The old man went out to sea early in the morning, saying that he was going to try his luck to catch tuna, and he had the posture of taking that fish in one pot.
Zhang Xiaokai didn't go, he was waiting for the courier to call, the cat food, exercise books, and stationery purchased from the Amazon mall would be delivered in the morning, in addition to two spring coats, in order to make up enough money for free shipping.
I don't know why, but I always feel that Mocha the bear has become more clever.
For example, it is humming and calling the songs on TV, and if you listen carefully, you can hear a little tune, which is probably "Woo woo ~ woo woo ~ woo ......woo woo
Lying there squinting his eyes, his expression was comfortable and comfortable, and he didn't stop singing when he was hugged by Zhang Xiaokai to take a bath.
When I was halfway through the show, I heard a knock on the door, and I left the little white bear that was soaked in the bathtub and still had foam on its body to open the door.
Seeing Adlina and a strange old man with a big nose, Zhang Xiaokai recognized this beautiful little face that had returned to normal.
When we met for the first time, I bumped into the deer in my heart, but now I was probably hit to death, and I was in a bad mood.
The favor is still there, he knows that this little girl has given his father food and water, and there is a report about it.
Get out of the way and invite them in, with a smile on her face, and greet Adlina: "Hey, meet again......"
