Link spent two days walking around several farms in Nevada. In fact, it is mainly Hanse Farm, where the most things are done, winemaking, drilling, installation of wind turbines, and other civil works. The other two farms, which were the laying of irrigation systems, went to see them and returned to Huazhou without any problems.

When he returned to Mora Manor, he happened to meet Jessica returning from work. Hannah got out of her car and ran towards him with her hands outstretched.

Link picked her up and kissed her twice, and asked Jessica, "Did you take her to play?"

Jessica shook her head and said, "I'm just taking her to Fox." Let her play with the children. She rubbed Hannah's head and said. "I heard Lisa say that after you left, she was at home painting during the day. ”

When Link heard this, he thought it was really bad. A growing child can't focus too much on one thing. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad.

Not to mention that Hannah is still young, how does painting for a long time affect her body. That will also have a great impact on the growth of her character. If she keeps being obsessed with drawing, she won't be able to play with other children in the future. That was not good for her psychological growth.

He nodded and said, "Let's go back first." He said to Hannah as he walked towards the castle. "Hannah, you love drawing, don't you?"

"Well, I like to draw!" If you ask Hannah why she likes it, she can't tell, but when you ask her if she likes it, she knows very well.

Link listened to her very simply, and was very happy in her words, thinking that this girl really liked it. But no matter how much she liked it, he couldn't let her keep drawing. He laughed and said, "But Hannah is too young to paint all the time." ”

Hannah's eyes widened and her face was full of bewilderment, and she said, "But, I like it! very, very much!"

Link wondered how to explain it to a two-year-old child, and why he didn't let her draw all the time. Walking into the living room, Jessica smiled and said, "I'm going to change my clothes." ”

Hannah waited for a long time, but didn't wait for Link's answer. She was in a hurry, twisted her body and said, "Daddy, why, I can't draw?"

Link hugged her and sat down on the sofa, smiling and saying, "It's not that Daddy doesn't let Hannah draw, he just doesn't want Hannah to keep drawing." ”

"But I want to keep drawing!"

Link has also been raising children for a year, and knows that what the child wants to do cannot be completely forbidden by command. Although it was difficult to reason with a two-year-old, he had to try.

He smiled and picked up Hannah's little hand and spread it out in his palm, saying, "Hannah look at your hand." Isn't it small!"

Hannah looked at her hand compared to Daddy's hand, nodded and said, "My hand is much smaller than Daddy's!"

Link slowed down as much as he could, "Yes, that's because Hannah is still small, so his hands are small. Hannah has to grow up, and Hannah's hands have to grow up. If Hannah had been drawing with your little hands, your hands would be very tired and tired. It will be reluctant to grow up. ”

"Really?" Hannah stared at her hand with wide eyes when she heard that her hand would not grow long. "So, can't I draw?"

"Of course not, Hannah can draw every day, but she can't keep drawing. Hannah should let your hand play for a while, and when your hand is happy, it will grow with Hannah. Like Hannah, I love to draw!"

Hannah looked at him, her eyes blinking, and asked, "So I'm three years old, can I draw? Can I be four years old?"

Link was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course you can." As long as Hannah likes it, Hannah can draw when she grows up!" It turns out that this girl understands what he said "always" to mean that she can't draw when she grows up.

Hannah got the answer she wanted, hugged Link and kissed her, clapped her hands and said, "From now on, I will play with my hands every day and grow up together." I want it to be the same as I am, I like to draw!"

Hannah was right. So, after that, Hannah only painted for two hours a day, an hour in the afternoon, and an hour in the evening. Okay, okay?"

"Good!" Hannah nodded. I don't know if she understands what an hour is.

But Link would have made her understand: "There were twenty-four hours in that day, and Hannah had eight hours to sleep at night. Take an hour's sleep at noon. Two hours to draw. But there are still many hours left, what is Hannah going to do?"

Hannah could only count to ten, and Link said that she couldn't count the number with her hands. She frowned, shook her head and said, "I don't know!"

"Daddy and Hannah worked together to give the schedule, and Hannah drew and played according to the schedule. Okay, okay?"

"Good!" Hannah usually said yes to things she didn't understand.

Jessica changed into her home clothes and came out, and when she saw that the two father and daughter were happy, she couldn't help but sit next to them with a smile and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Link told him about his intention to make a schedule for Hannah's daily routine.

Jessica agreed, saying, "Hannah is smarter and sensible than all kids her age. Although I think she has a talent for drawing. But at this time, it is more important to let her grow up healthily than to cultivate her talent. ”

Link was a little strange and asked, "Although Hannah is better at drawing than her peers, if you want to talk about talent, I'm afraid I can't see it now." ”

Jessica smiled and went to get a painting of Hannah and showed it to him.

He didn't see anything to show his daughter's talent for painting. At most, things are painted with six or seven points.

Jessica smiled and said, "When you paint, you can't just look at the likeness of the painting. She pointed to the sunset in the painting. "You see, Hannah has noticed three-dimensional images, and they use light and shade to express them. Do you know that when I was five years old when I was learning to draw, I only knew how to draw things as flat surfaces?"

Hearing her say this, Link did notice that although the cloud was just a crayon doodle, it did see a three-dimensional effect. Still, he wasn't sure that this was really what Hannah was trying to say: "Could it be an accident?"

"Definitely not. Now Hannah's paintings show an understanding of light and shadow, and she is only two years old. Maybe when she's six years old, you can help her find a master painter to teach her. ”

His own child is smart, and of course the most fatherly is happy. Link smiled and said, "It depends on her own interests." Maybe she won't like to draw anymore. ”

Jessica nodded and said, "Yes." "Now Hannah is still young, talent does not mean interest. And Hannah doesn't need to be an artist or anything. Of course, if Hannah wants to become a painter, she doesn't have to worry about being poor, even if her paintings are not appreciated.

Therefore, Jessica also thinks that Hannah's interests are the most important.

After dinner, Link and Hannah "discuss" how to arrange her schedule.

The first thing was decided was two one-hour painting sessions, from 4 to 5 p.m. and from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Other times, Link also clearly defined what she was going to do. For example, a few hours in the morning, every hour is playing, what to play, playing with toys, reading picture books, watching cartoons, going out to play, anyway, what she wants to play is up to her.

The time limit is not so strict, one hour to one and a half hours is fine.

With the schedule set, Link had just the time to oversee her. Within a few days, Hannah was getting used to this lifestyle. This schedule only restricts her from focusing on one thing, but there are no restrictions on how she can play. That wouldn't make her feel too uncomfortable.

In order for her to have more things to play with and to keep her fingers from being damaged by holding the pen for a long time, Link bought some toys that allowed her to move her fingers. For example, the small electronic piano and beautiful building blocks all cultivate her finger sensitivity and dexterity.

When he had time, he took her to Fox to play with his friends, and invited the children to the cinema to watch a movie with him - of course, it was the movie ticket that Link bought. He could also take a look at the situation of the Ozette Bank.

Anyway, he went out for a spin and came back, and began to act as a daddy.

If people who don't know him see his current state of life, they may think that he is a soft eater. My girlfriend goes to work every day, and he has nothing to do every day.

But in fact, he is also very busy. It's just that he's usually busy at night.

Every night, his two teams send him e-mail briefings.

Because of Link's promise, Snapton seems to be a little crazy. In order to complete the sales of 30 million bottles next year, she has been flying outside the United States for this time, hoping to open up a larger foreign market for Blue Lagoon wines.

Martha's team now manages several farms, low-rent apartments, restaurants and several cooperative businesses. At the same time, he had to run the alpaca project and prepare a plan for the renovation of the land he had just bought.

Martha couldn't help but complain when she emailed to report on her work, and now they can't keep their hands busy.

Link replied, "If anyone is too busy, you can ask for an assistant!"

And Link also has his own personal affairs. For example, the Ozette Farm needs to be taken care of by him. There were more than 300 workers on the Ozette farm, and although he had delegated power, he had a lot to deal with.

In addition, the matter of Benehans's company, sometimes, Jessica will also discuss with him.

Since learning that the efficiency of the lab has improved dramatically, Jessica feels that the company may soon enter the stage of large-scale production, and she has recently been considering where to build the factory.

She has two choices, one is to build the factory in California, the advantage is that the human resources are abundant, but if all kinds of products are promoted, the cost of land will be relatively high. Another option is to set up a factory near Fox here, which has the advantage of convenient management and a more suitable environment for production. And the disadvantage is the lack of human resources.

She couldn't make up her mind, so she asked Link for his opinion on the question.

After thinking about it, Link said, "I think it's better to have the main factory near Fox because of the simple social environment here. More helpful with the secrecy of our technology. In addition, if needed, I can carve out a piece of land from the Ozette farm, which can give the company's production base a relatively large amount of land. ”

He paused for a moment and added, "If the lab really gets the results we want, we should probably consider foreign markets." ”

"If you think about foreign markets now, will you expand too quickly?"

It is indeed too early to think about foreign markets now. But Link has his own thoughts: "I'm worried that if we don't get out sooner rather than later, we won't be able to get out when the time is right. ”

"You mean the political implications?"

Link nodded and said, "Food will someday become a political issue. But I just want to do business. Cooperate with other countries in advance, and they will lose the premise of forbidding us to go out. ”

"I'll make a plan accordingly!" Jessica agrees that she's just doing business.
