Chapter 28: Adlina (2)

"Hello, Matt. ”

Adlina hesitated for a few seconds and then followed suit, but she didn't know what to say when she actually arrived.

staring at Zhang Xiaokai's face, he was no longer tired and haggard, and there were no traces of frostbite.

This made Adriana happy, because his father was hoping that he would be doing well when he was dying, and now he seems to be doing well, so he is relieved.

The two didn't communicate much.

The first time they met, they were unfamiliar, and the second time they were in the wilderness, they only saw Adlina's figure, and Zhang Xiaokai fainted and fell on the snow.

When he was taken to the hospital, he was in a very bad mental state.

Before Adlina was picked up by her family, she said something to Zhang Xiaokai, but he didn't pay attention to it at the time.

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

It didn't take long to meet again, but it seemed like a few years apart.

During this time, whether it was for Zhang Xiaokai or Adlina, or for the white-haired man to send the black-haired old Mr. Lamber, it was more difficult, and the fate of the two families was changed by an accident.

They were invited to come in and sat down on the couch.

After the little white bear Mocha stretched his waist, he walked over slowly, and sniffed the smell of the father and daughter, and Adlina also reached out to touch it, completely treating the little Mocha as a dog.

Old Mr. Lambourg, who was sitting next to him, saw that it was a little bear, and his expression suddenly became vigilant, and when he saw the little one lying meekly on the carpet, he relaxed a little.

He put the fruit basket on the ground and said, "Your name is Matt, right, I don't know what to buy on the way here, and then I picked these fruits, and you are the only one in the house?"

"And my daddy...... But he hasn't woken up yet, my grandfather went out fishing, if nothing else, he may not be back until the evening, do you want to drink coffee or tea?" Zhang Xiaokai replied.

Old Mr. Lamborg hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, I don't drink anything, Adlina she was taken care of by your father at that time, and this time she wanted to come over to express her gratitude." ”

"Don't say that.

If she hadn't given my father water and food, my father would have been unable to move under the weight of the weight, and would not have survived until the rescue team rushed over, and maybe even I would have frozen to death in that hellish place, I should have thanked her. ”

Adlina was in front of her, but these words were said by Zhang Xiaokai to Mr. Old Lanburg, the little girl was a head shorter than him, and of course she was treated as a child who didn't understand anything.

Old Mr. Lamber sighed and shook his head: "It should be said that it is to help each other, if it were not for your father, it would be difficult for me to imagine what would happen to Adlina, I regret what happened to your father, what did the doctor say?"

"It's not clear, after many examinations of the bruises in his head, and surgery to remove part of it, the doctor can't guarantee that he will definitely wake up, and the injuries were very serious. ”

"It's a shame......"

The age difference is more than 50 years.

After a brief exchange, there was nothing to talk about, so we got up together and went to visit Daddy Zhang in the room first.

Rushed all the way over, there must be hospitality, Zhang Xiaokai didn't know how to cook, so he invited the father and daughter to stay for lunch.

Thinking that he had no one to help cook at home, he was a little distressed, so Mr. Lamber did not refuse, and offered to make something to eat himself, took out the steak from the refrigerator, and put it in the sink to wait for it to melt.

After hearing that there was a cat at home, he simply buckled it with a bowl and asked Zhang Xiaokai to call his grandfather, ready to take him to the town for a walk.

Very beautiful car, with very little legroom in the back, Adlina sat in the back, and after arriving in Brookings Town, she first went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients, and then the old German man found an excuse to buy him a lot of clothes and shoes.

Zhang Xiaokai didn't want it, Mr. Lambaut insisted on buying it for him, this is the old German man thanking him in his own way, Brookings is too small to find much to buy.

I'm embarrassed, but I can't refuse, so I can only thank you.

I didn't go back directly to make lunch, and learned that this ranch belonged to Zhang Xiaokai's grandfather, so I drove around the neighborhood to take a look, during which it rained lightly, moistening the land.

Tom the fat cat finally knew that he was coming back after the rain, and stayed at the door to hide from the rain, and after the rain, he was still so fat and kept sneezing.

I have grown my brain and understand that drilling into a small doorway will only get stuck.

The little girl Adlina was stunned when she saw Tom, and it was hard to believe that it was really a cat.

When it rains, cool down, and when you enter the house, you can set fire to the wood in the fireplace.

The old German man didn't need his help, he went to the kitchen to prepare lunch, Zhang Xiaokai and Adlina were left in the living room at the moment, and the old Ronald was busy, even if he knew that there were guests coming to the door, he was not ready to rush back.

"Why did it grow so fat?"

Adriana, who had been silent, suddenly said this.

Zhang Xiaokai looked at her, her hair was brown and yellow, her eyes were very beautiful blue, her coat was wet with water stains, and she squatted near the fireplace, not feeling cold.

Told: "I don't know, just found out that it was already so fat, probably just like people, some people get fat easily, there used to be a person in my family who weighed more than 400 pounds, and could only be carried downstairs by a few people." ”

"So, what's its name?"

"Tom, don't touch it, you used to be a stray cat, maybe it will scratch you. ”

Hearing this, Adlina withdrew her hand.

It can be seen that she has been hit hard, but Zhang Xiaokai himself has not been able to help her, Mr. Lamber's personality is quite good, dozens of times stronger than old Ronald, I believe that he should be able to help Adlina, and it is not his turn to worry.

If it were possible, Zhang Xiaokai really wanted to exchange old Ronald with Mr. Ranburgh, so as not to be sulking with that old man all day long, unable to fight and noisy, and aggrieved.

……

Timely spring rain to moisten the earth.

The red houses beside the hills and woods, white smoke drifting from the chimneys and being dispersed by the raindrops.

Not far away, freshwater fish rolled in the river, and a large carp was chased by pike, washed ashore in a panic, and jumped for a long time before returning to the water.

Another car, an old blue Chevrolet, was now crushed over the bridge and finally stopped in front of the house.

The red-haired woman got out of the car and trotted to the door, looking irritated, and banged the wooden door.

Zhang Xiaokai had just cut the steak and was ready to eat, when he opened the door and found that it was not the old Ronald, he frowned slightly and asked her, "Who are you looking for?"

"Isn't this the Ronald Cleveland family?"

"It used to be his house, yes, you have something to do with him?"

"Let me in first, some financial matters need to be ......"

Zhang Xiaokai could smell the strong smell of perfume, and he didn't look like a normal woman dressed up, and after hearing the word capital, he shook his head decisively and interrupted her:

"Mr. Cleveland has sold this place and moved to Los Angeles, recuperation, terminal cancer, all the money is donated to charity, maybe you can go over there and ask, I don't know the exact address. ”

The strange woman's expression was shocked, and before she could speak again, Zhang Xiaokai had already closed the door and said, "There are no adults at home, please go back." ”

When he sat back at the table again, Mr. Lamber asked in surprise, "You just said that you were fishing at sea, why did you suddenly go to the hospital!"

"I did go fishing, and before he won the lottery he was just an ordinary cowboy, and he knew a lot of bad people, and it was said that he was worried about his money.

So soon after I came here, my grandfather said that if you see a stranger, don't let them into the house, don't tell anyone where he is, his contact information, say it's okay to be bankrupt or dying, if you see him today, you will understand why this is happening, life is a mess. ”

Zhang Xiaokai heard some gossip from Patrick Jr.

It is said that when I first won the lottery, there were people I knew and didn't know every day, lined up to borrow money from old Ronald, or let him invest, but with the old man's character, where would he ask for face, he was all turned away, and his relatives tore their faces directly when they came, and they were ruthless.

After eating the closed door, the woman outside the door raised her arm with a question on her face, but finally did not knock on the door.

Stand there, pull out the folder from your bag, open it, and fill in the information with a pen.

That sheet is printed with the initials "IRS".
