Chapter 4: Night in San Francisco

Ground floor living room, family room, gym, kitchen.

The gym is empty and has no equipment, but the kitchen is fully equipped.

On the second floor there are three bedrooms, a study and an office.

The house has just been refurbished and smells of paint faintly. The bedrooms have brand new linen and bedding to move in directly, but the inheritance has not yet been received, and the entire estate is under the supervision of the tax office.

After visiting the house where they would live in the future, Chen Mo and Stephen sat in the back seat of the pickup truck driven by Elson, went to the winery, locked the door and the staff dormitory that had not been inhabited for a long time, it was already dusty, and it looked a little seeping. Walking inside is a forest, the forest used to have 7 acres of vineyards, a small wooden house on the edge of the vineyard, this is Duanmuqing's former residence, there is a vegetable field outside the house, planted melons, fruits and vegetables, and no one has taken care of it for a while.

"A 1,850-acre estate may not be intuitively felt. Getting out of the car, Stephen cut a cigar for Chen Mo and Elson, and continued: "Canyon Manor is along the main peak of Mount Verde, 4 miles north and south, that is, 6.4 kilometers. Adults, at a normal pace, probably won't be more than 2.5 miles in an hour. In this way, it takes at least an hour to walk from here to the northernmost part of the estate. In fact, from here to the northern end, the hills are undulating, and the length of the main road is 9 kilometers. The width from east to west is 1,200 meters in the widest part and 260 meters in the narrowest part. ”

From south to north

After about two kilometers of asphalt road, go into the dirt road.

Follow the main peak to the right. Although it is on the mountain, it is not the big mountain as I imagined, but the hills, with ups and downs. There are also steep slopes, with a 4.6-acre vineyard just above the steep slope, a rare terraced vineyard in Napa Valley......

did not run to the end of the north end, Chen Mo already had the most intuitive feeling of the canyon manor.

Rolling hills, dense forests, and arid areas with sparse vegetation.

Along the hillside, you can also see a lot of houses along the way, uninhabited, the houses of the former vineyard owners, and some of them look very good, better than the houses in the gourd valley. But many more houses are very rudimentary, with wooden houses and shanty houses predominating the majority......

Along the way, there are scattered vineyards, the largest being 9 acres and the smallest being less than 1 acre.

Duanmuqing first bought the Canyon Winery, and then bought other plantations in the following years, eventually forming its current scale.

The 200 acres of vineyards are not together, scattered and spread out, but all on either side of the main road, with a total of 56 plots.

"How?" asked Stephen as the car turned around.

"All these lands are mine?"

"It's all yours. Another 700 acres of land with a grape growing permit are on our way. That piece of land is going to start planting this year, otherwise it will be very troublesome to reapply after the permit expires. "Deforestation is not allowed to grow grapes, and only land with sparse vegetation and arid land is easy to get a permit. At the end of the asphalt road, 700 acres of arid wasteland are relatively flat and slightly undulating, earthy sandy like the edge of the desert.

With such a large area of land, Chen Mo felt an indescribable throbbing in his heart: "Just live in the manor tonight?"

"That's not going to work, Canyon Manor doesn't belong to you until you complete the formalities. I'll go back to San Francisco and I'll be at immigration tomorrow morning. ”

"I'm not going to emigrate. The Chinese passport is very good......"

"In the past, I got a temporary green card. Stephen rolled his eyes: "A green card is just a residence permit, which is convenient for your future life in the United States." ”

Leave the estate and head straight to San Francisco and spend the night at a hotel in Russian Hill.

According to Stephen, Russian Hill is a wealthy neighborhood in San Francisco, and there is a very famous Lombard Street. It's a pity that Old Man Stephen was too lazy to move, so he ate something in the hotel and went back to sleep.

The room is on the 16th floor and has a great view of the San Francisco CBD at night, as well as the street lamps of a bridge across the sea. It looks like a bridge from San Francisco to Oakland......

At night, there is a mist and the lights of Auckland are hazy inside.

Chen Mo hadn't slept for almost twenty hours, and his spirit was still very excited, and he didn't mean to sleep at all. After smoking a cigarette in the room, I remembered that I should call home, and quickly took out my mobile phone.

"Dad, I'm in the United States. ”

"Oh, is it done?"

"I only arrived today, how can it be so fast. ”

"Old Taoist Aoki really left you a legacy of hundreds of millions?"

"That's right. However, there is an inheritance tax in the United States, and it is uncertain how much it can inherit. ”

"Anyway, it's equivalent to the money you picked up for nothing, and you can inherit as much as you want. I'll burn more paper money for Taoist Aoki when I go back......"

"Well, nothing happened, I hung up. ”

"Okay, you are alone in the United States to pay attention to your body and pay attention to safety. ”

"Okay. ”

Hanging up the phone, Chen Mo sat at the head of the bed and called Chen Xiao again.

The brother and sister haven't been in touch for a long time, and this time they finally got through: "Brother." ”

"Sister, you can be considered to have bought a mobile phone. Why don't you take the initiative to call me. ”

"I'm afraid you're still mad at me. On the phone, Chen Xiao's voice was sweet and glutinous, with a little aggrieved tone, and whispered.

"I don't eat for long. Chen Mo knew that his sister was talking about his ex-girlfriend. During the Chinese New Year, Chen Xiao's mobile phone was broken, so Chen Mo bought her a 256GB Apple X. let his ex-girlfriend Zhang Xi know, saying that he couldn't make money and was poor and generous.

Don't look at Chen Xiao's temperament like a fairy, like a little sister next door who can be bullied by anyone, but when she broke out, she quarreled with Zhang Xi, and it was not compatible. And then there was nothing more to say, break up.

"I heard Brother Yong say that Sister Zhang Xi is married. Are you alright?"

"Yes, yes. I don't blame you for that, I guess Zhang Xi has wanted to say goodbye to me for a long time, and he thinks I don't have the ability. Brother understood......" Chen Mo was mentioned in pain again, but he still smiled and comforted Chen Xiao: "It's okay, your brother is rich now." ”

"Uh-huh, I heard my dad say, what inheritance did you go to the United States to inherit, is it true?"

"Really, remember the old Taoist priest who used to live in our house?"

"The old Taoist priest Aoki who cheated you out of your tuition?" Zhang Xi should have no influence on Taoist Aoki, but he often heard his family talk about it.

"Halo...... That's him. Master Aoki's name is Duanmu Qing, and he somehow ran to the United States. He passed away last month, leaving me a large inheritance......" Before he finished speaking, there was a murmur from Chen Xiao's side.

I vaguely heard a middle-aged woman talking about the start of work, why haven't she changed her clothes yet......

"Hey, brother, are you still there?" asked Chen Xiao after a while.

"What do you do?"

"SH has a big game and comic book exhibition, and my friend introduced me to coser Ahri. Wait, I'm going in to change my clothes, I'll see a QQ video later, and I'll show you a lot of beautiful girls. ”

"Don't give me bare breasts, if it's immoral, I'll come back and beat you. ”

"I want to show my breasts, and I have to have to. That's it, bye-bye, remember QQ, there are a lot of beautiful girls here. Chen Xiao said and hung up the phone.

Chen Mo smiled bitterly.

Coser is a shorthand for cosplayer, which is role-playing.

Chen Mo has two brothers and sisters, and they have absolutely nothing to say in terms of appearance. Chen Xiao has a baby face of goose eggs, and he looks beautiful and cute, but the nine-tailed fox Ahri in the Coser League of Legends ......

Hung up the phone, Chen Mo went to the bathroom, there was a super bathtub inside, and as soon as the hot water was full, the QQ video call came, and he quickly picked it up.

The current time is after 10 o'clock in the morning in China, and in the video, Chen Xiaocoser's Ahri should be the purest Ahri in LOL history.

"Brother, hey, hey, can you hear me?"

"I can hear you. Chen Mo pressed the phone camera and arrived.

"Well, this is SH Games Comic Con. How am I dressed up?" Chen Xiao pointed the camera of her phone at herself, smiling and revealing a small tiger tooth.

"Beautiful. Who is the beautiful young lady next to you? ”

"My senior sister, Xia Wei. ”

Xia Wei coser's policewoman is not as good as Chen Xiao in appearance, and she is also a big beauty, especially in figure, half a head taller than Chen Xiao, with a pair of long legs and full breasts, which makes people drool.

Xia Wei looked at the camera and smiled, waved her hand, whispered something in Chen Xiao's ear and turned to leave.

"She went for a photoshoot. Why don't you have a camera over there?"

"I'm in the bath. Chen Mo let go of the cameraman, the bathtub was full of bubbles, and he was not afraid of running out.

Chen Xiao looked at it and giggled: "Beauty bath." ”

"Cheap for you. Chen Mo posed as an orchid finger and said sissily: "By the way, why are you buying a mobile phone now." I transferred 7,000 yuan to Alipay for you, but I didn't see it. ”

Chen Xiao pursed his lips: "The phone is broken and can't be used." Alipay also doesn't work...... I bought the phone yesterday and haven't downloaded Alipay yet. I've got to work, I'll call you when I'm done. ”

"You have to have it. ”
