"Early. ”

"Good morning. When he woke up the next morning, Link noticed movement in the kitchen, and when he went to look, he realized that it was Kate cooking breakfast inside.

Kate stayed on the farm last night for the night. Of course, the villa has guest rooms. It's just that Link didn't expect her to get up early in the morning to make breakfast.

Kate's hands and feet are quick, but breakfast is also very simple, just a cheese omelette, plus two beef burgers.

Breakfast was served by Link, and the two of them ate breakfast together at the table. Kate said as she ate, "I'm going to talk to those engineers again in the morning." I feel that they can improve efficiency when constructing and at the same time save some costs. Maybe I'll be back to Las Vegas at noon. ”

Link casually said, "Don't you have lunch?"

"Of course. Kate was stunned for a moment before she realized what he really meant and smiled. "I'll eat in Las Vegas though. It won't take much time to communicate with them, maybe an hour and a half will be enough. And in the afternoon, Professor Charles wants to see me. I'm graduating soon. ”

Link was a little disappointed when he heard that she was leaving before noon, but when he heard that she was about to graduate, a thought flashed through his mind: "Really? So what are your plans after graduation? Do you want to stay in Professor Charles's team, or do you have other plans?"

"The professor wanted me to stay. But I want to go back to St. Cloud, that's my home. ”

"St. Cloud's?" Link's heart froze.

"St. Cloud, Minnesota. My mom and dad and my grandmother were there. And, of course, Tom and Jamie. ”

Kate talks about her family with a warm smile.

Link laughed and said, "Tom and Jamie? I know, it's a stupid cat and a smart mouse." ”

"Haha~" Kate turned her head and laughed almost out of breath, she finally stopped laughing. "Link, you know, it's not appropriate to tell jokes while eating. ”

"I'm sorry, but have you ever thought about staying in Neva and creating your own team?"

"There are plans to create our own team, and there are even plans to set up a service company that specializes in planning and operating for farmers. But agriculture in Nevada is not developed enough, there are too few farms, so Nevada is not in my plan. ”

"Maybe California can. ”

"No, California isn't bad either. But I plan to go back to Minnesota. There is my family there and there are a lot of farms. There, my career had a market premise. ”

Link couldn't help but be disappointed, but finally said, "Then maybe you need more practice." Maybe you can practice on my farm for a while. ”

Kate looked at him very seriously and said, "Look, I'm doing that right now." ”

"I mean full-time. ”

Kate smiled and said, "I said." My dad also has a farm. It's much smaller than Hanse's farm, but it's a better place for me to practice there. Because most of Minnesota's farms aren't large. ”

Link pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Kate also seemed to understand his intentions, and didn't speak again until she finished her breakfast. After she finished eating, she cleaned up and said, "The engineering team is going to work soon, and I have to go to the construction site early." If there are no major problems, I will leave after talking to the person in charge of the engineering team. I will send you some findings and suggestions for the past two days as soon as possible. ”

"Okay!"

Kate finished her work, and Link sat in the living room in a daze, when suddenly he smiled wryly. He actually knows that Kate is a career-minded woman and quite confident. It's that trait that makes him involuntarily interested. Of course, it is undeniable that her appearance is also a crucial reason for this.

By the time he had hinted, Kate had understood and unequivocally rejected him. That made him a little depressed. But fortunately, he doesn't love Kate yet, at most, he has a pretty good impression, almost heartbeat.

"Maybe they're not the right people for each other. Link leaned back on the couch and muttered to himself. Of course, it is not a good feeling to be rejected. But he didn't put too much emotion into it, so that he could still think about things more clearly.

Now that I think about it, he is not someone who is willing to give in easily, and Kate is clearly not either. Even if two people are together, they may not last long.

Even though he could comfort himself like this, Link was still sullen in his heart. Not long after Kate left, he drove to Overtown.

Middle school students are on summer vacation, but Cox is not at home. Alice stayed at home watching TV and was a little surprised to see Link come back: "Link, why are you back?"

"Can't I come back!"

"Hey, of course. But Mom thinks you're going to be busy. She wouldn't allow me to go to Hans's farm. Alice patted the couch beside her, motioned for him to sit down, and said. "By the way, Mom and Dad said that you bought another farm. ”

"Yes. Link sat down beside her and said. "It's a 58,000-acre farm. ”

"Cool! is one and a half times bigger than Hans's farm. I heard it was in New Mexico. Will you move out?"

"Yes. I would move to Hans Farms. ”

"Not New Mexico?" Alice said, a little disappointed. "I still want to be able to play. ”

"Of course you can go playing, and in the autumn maybe we can go hunting. You can go skiing in winter. In the summer, you can go on vacation to Angel Fire. ”

"It's amazing. Alice jumped for joy. "You know what, I've never hunted. Maybe I can ask Lily to come along. I think she's going to be happy. Can I?"

Link shrugged and said, "Of course." But before she could do that, she had to convince her family. ”

"That's easy. It's a holiday right now. Alice asked. "Are there any horses on the new farm?"

Link remembered that there was a stall over there, nodded and said, "Yes." However, they are all grazing horses, not pretty racehorses. ”

"I just wanted to learn how to ride a horse.

"Where are you going to study?" Cox returned. He wears the uniform of the baseball team and carries a bat in his hand. He entered the door just in time to hear Alice say that she wanted to learn how to ride a horse. "Hey, Link!"

"Going to training?" Link looked at his jersey as dirty.

Cox said as he took off his shoes, "No training. We played a game. He asked, shoe-grabbing. "Did you just say to go to your new farm and learn to ride a horse?"

"Yes. Are you interested?"

Cox shook his head and said, "Yes, I have." But the baseball team has training during the holidays, and I can't leave. Also, it's my birthday in two days. You're not going to go before this, are you?"

"Of course not!" Alice said with a smile. "You don't have to give gifts, you can eat cake. I certainly won't miss it. ”

Cox smiled and said, "I'm sure I won't lose, because you've already given gifts." He put his sneakers in the shoe closet, then took out a car key from a drawer and shook it. If you're willing to pay half of the gas bill, I'll take care of taking you to school when school starts. ”

"Why do I have to pay for gas, I sponsored you two hundred dollars. That's most of my pocket money. ”

"You're right, it's sponsorship! Cox smirked and put the car keys back. "I'm going to take a shower first. As he spoke, he trotted upstairs.

Alice yelled at him, "If you drive to school without me, I'll run out of tires." I swear I will!"

Link smiled and asked her, "That Ford out there is Cox's new car?"

"Yes, Dad went with him to buy it two days ago. I heard that it cost 4,500 dollars, which is 1,000 dollars more than the initial budget. Alice said with a little envy. "Link, when I get my driver's license, you'll sponsor me too. ”

Link laughed and said, "Of course, I'm much richer now than when I sponsored Cox." That's why I decided to sponsor you three thousand dollars. ”

Alice screamed for joy, "I love you to death, Link! I've decided, I'm going to start saving money from today to buy a new red car for my sixteenth birthday! Well, but if I ask you for three thousand dollars for nothing, Mom will say mine. Maybe I can go to your farm and get a part-time job. ”

"If you're going to work, I can pay you. Link said with a smile. "I'll give you a Porsche or a BMW. Mommy won't say anything about you. ”

"No, she would. Alice sat down and said dissatisfied. "She would say, 'Alice, you have to start learning to be self-reliant. Alice, there is no such thing as a world that is not earned for nothing. Alice, let's go, let's go, let's go......" she said, spreading her hands and grimacing.

But she was right. Link looked at her earnestly.

Alice lifted her feet, crossed her feet on the couch, held a pillow in her arms, and smiled, "Yes, she was right." Because she's a mom!"

Link smirked. He remembered it, and she used to say that when she was five or six years old. At that time, he was still a rebellious teenager.

After a conversation with her, it made him feel much better.
