Chapter 34: After Daddy Wakes Up
Zhang Xiaokai's father suddenly woke up that night.
I had no strength in my body, and I lay there staring at the ceiling.
At first, he didn't know where he was or who he was, but it took a long time for him to regain consciousness.
First, I remembered something from a long time ago.
For example, when I first came to the United States to study in the early 90s, I also remember starting a family, getting married, and having children here.
Suddenly thinking of the plane crash, remembering what happened in that snowy wilderness, I hurriedly sat up!
With too much force, a feeling of dizziness hit, and then he lay down on the bed again, shouting in a hurried tone, "Is anyone there?
Zhang Xiaokai ran out to eat barbecue, and Nurse Logan was not there, so naturally no one paid attention to him.
However, there is a little white bear who has learned to open the door, and after entering the house, he stared at Daddy Zhang with round eyes, with a little curiosity in his eyes.
Its appearance frightened Daddy Zhang almost fainted again, his body was too weak to stand the stimulation.
I saw that the little bear Mocha blinked his eyes, and he actually knew that he ran out of the door to find Zhang Xiaokai for help, his father was scared, and this little bear was also frightened by the stranger who suddenly spoke.
When Zhang Xiaokai came back, he made eye contact with his long-been comatose father, and a tear-jerking drama of the reunion of father and son was staged at home......
Once again, he was taken to the hospital for a detailed examination.
This time he spent a full week in the hospital, and only returned to the Cleveland ranch after the doctor told him that he had fully recovered and could go home to recuperate.
Zhang Xiaokai has long accepted the reality, although his father's mood is unstable, he has been hit by things such as the funeral that has been held after the child's mother died, and he has been in a coma for more than two months, and has amputated a leg.
But at the beginning, I was already mentally prepared for the worst in the wilderness, at least my son was still alive, he was doing well, and he was taken care of, and finally he slowly stabilized down, and he talked to Adlina on the phone in Orange County, California, and both parties were relatively happy.
Afterwards, Mr. Lamber also called to thank him, saying that his granddaughter had a smile on her face.
That's pretty much it, there's not much to say.
After discussing with Miss Logan, she accepted a high-paying job as a nanny and caregiver for $6,000 a month, and helped Daddy Zhang with rehabilitation and learning to use crutches.
After the news of his soberness was reported by the media, a seller who sold prosthetics came to the door, saying that he was providing him with a prosthetic limb for free.
In the blink of an eye, it's the end of April.
Every day is a myriad of little things, time flies quite quickly, people often come to visit, Zhang's father's friends and colleagues have also known about his waking up, the company is quite kind, and gave him a reward of 50,000 US dollars, at least it is considered an accident during work, and it is unreasonable not to compensate.
His boss also promised that when he recovered, he could go back to the company at any time if he wanted to.
On the morning of the 30th, the sky was blue, with large clouds floating in the sky, and the warm sun shone on me.
Later, when he was going to visit the old man in prison, Zhang Xiaokai first pushed the wheelchair and accompanied his father to take a walk around the land.
"It's beautiful, this kind of weather is so comfortable, are you sure your grandfather won't buy a set of biogas treatment equipment?" Sitting in a wheelchair, Daddy Zhang had a faint smile on his face.
Zhang Xiaokai rolled his eyes and said: "You're like this, don't think about whether you can work or not, that old man owes a lot of money to the bank, and he was locked up for tax evasion, how can he buy that kind of thing." ”
"I'm just joking, although you said that your grandfather has a bad temper, and there must be politeness, don't call the old man that old man when you meet. ”
"It's okay, he doesn't care about that, you'll know when we meet, the personality is really weird. ”
The time is too short to digest enough to casually say about Zhang Xiaokai's mother, and the father and son always avoid mentioning any topics related to her when they get along recently.
Just follow the road.
Not far away there is a herd, and the calves that were brought in last month are now much stronger, and it seems that they can enter the fattening period early.
Often check the operation of the ranch on the Internet, Zhang Xiaokai has a lot of theoretical experience, and found that the growth of the pasture far exceeds that of the ranch in the north, and he also bought an extra 600 calves back, the kind that is three months old, and the funds come from the money earned from the fishery during this time.
He didn't really look for it, but he knew where the magical golden bird might be.
It's not that the grass on both sides of the river grows too high, and in stark contrast to the upstream, the height of the elephant grass is more than doubled.
Zhang Xiaokai didn't go to catch it, this secret was never told even to his father, the only thing that made little Patrick, Kenny and others feel strange was that he had people turn on the pump from time to time and use the river water to irrigate the pasture land.
After several experiments, after each watering, the grass really grew amazingly, and the changes in the fishing grounds and the changes in the pastures on both sides of the river made sense.
Although I don't understand why it's so magical, since it's okay for cattle and sheep to drink water every day, Zhang Xiaokai feels that it's probably no harm.
After gaining confidence, he waved his hand to raise the wages of the employees.
Two employees left at the open-air barbecue, and three more during this time, and there are currently 14 employees left.
If you work for a full month, you can get an extra $200 reward, work hard in a year, and have the opportunity to get an extra two or three months of salary.
After the news spread, someone took the initiative to ask for a job.
After the old Ronald is gone, the working atmosphere and the enthusiasm of the employees are getting better, because they earn more, so they don't live less after fewer people, and it doesn't matter if they are tired or tired.
It can be seen that the old man said that the employees were lazy and slack, etc., and he should find the reason from himself.
Others can't get in if they want to, and the rest of the employees, no one cares about other jobs, and there are enough people at present, but it's best to recruit two or three new employees to add in, which has to ask the old man.
Although he despised the old man's management ability, this ranch was his property after all......
Walking back, ready to go home, he took his father to visit the prison for the first time, and Zhang Xiaokai never went to see Ronald Sr. since his father woke up.
At this moment, a Mercedes-Benz big G came from the road, and the vicinity was considered private territory, and there was a warning sign at the entrance prohibiting entry.
Just as he was thinking about how it drove in, Big G slowed down and stopped next to the father and son, and a fat old man with a round face got out of the car, with gray hair and a pair of glasses.
He stretched out his hand and asked with a smile on his face, "I just went to the Red House, there is only one woman in the house, I drove around in a circle, and finally found you."
First of all, Morgan Strauss, the old Lanburg, who sells furniture and paper towels, is a friend of mine who often smokes cigars together on the golf course, and he introduced you to me!"
“…… Hello, is there anything about it?"
Daddy Zhang sat in a wheelchair, also stretched out his hand to shake the other party, and added: "If it's Mr. Old Lanburgh, then it should be right, the one in Orange County, California, right?"
"That's right! That's my business card.
He told me that you guys have a great view here, I've seen it, it's really good, maybe we can work together to build a resort around here. ”
"But sir, aren't you in the transportation business?"
Zhang Xiaokai asked curiously, he saw the words on the business card, which said "Unicorn Transportation Company", and the old man's name was also printed on it, and the title was CEO.
"It's because of transportation that I want to build a resort, and I don't need to worry about the flow of passengers, I have more than 200 buses under my hands, from Seattle to Monterey Bay, from San Francisco to Seattle, and so on, and more than 30 cars pass through Highway 101 every day, and I also have a shipping company.
Originally, I wanted to build it near Bandon in the north, but Old Lambaut strongly recommended you to come here, so I will come and see it today, and if it is suitable, I will consider cooperating......"
