1. Link and Jesse discuss how to spend Halloween for half a day.

But the plan can't match the change.

After Halloween got dark, it rained incessantly. In that weather, Fox's Halloween night was certainly over.

Even if the adults could still be outside despite the heavy rain, how could Link let Hannah go out in such weather? At this time, Fox was already a little cold at night. Even if you are wearing a raincoat in such a heavy rain, you will inevitably get wet. The child's resistance is poor, and if Hannah catches a cold, won't he feel sorry for him?

Hannah wears a black dress with two small red horns on her head. There is also a small tail behind it. She pouted and sat in Link's arms, pressing the switch in her palm, and her little tail was cocked by the battery. The heart-shaped ends of the demon's tail also flashed red, hungry light.

She played with herself for a while, then looked up and asked Link, "Daddy, can't we really go to Fox?" ”

"It's raining! you're going to get sick when you get wet. Link coaxed her a little helplessly and said. Didn't Stephen call and say he couldn't go out to play? You want to play with the kids, and if the rain stops tomorrow, Daddy will take you to play with them. Okay, okay?"

Jessica made coffee, and she brought it out twice as much, saying, "Hannah is three years old and will be able to go to kindergarten next year." ”

Hannah turned to look at her with wide eyes and said, "Can I go to school?" and then grabbed Link's clothes and asked. "Daddy, can I?"

"Of course, but does Hannah like to go to school?"

"Hmm!" Hannah nodded. "I can play with a lot of friends at school. ”

Link smiled and said, "Hannah will go to kindergarten next year, okay?"

"Is it the New Year?" Hannah opened her big round eyes. "After the New Year, can I go to school?"

Link originally wanted to wait until after June next year to let her go to kindergarten, but she seemed to be a little impatient, so he complied with her and said, "After the New Year, Daddy will take Hannah to school." ”

"Great!" Hannah said, clapping her hands. "I'm going to tell Anne and Stephen that I'll be able to go to school with them next year. ”

She said as she slipped off Link to get her watch and phone.

Jessica saw that she was running away, shook her head with a smile, sat down next to Link, and said, "What a festival, ruined by bad weather." For this year's Halloween, she made a lot of preparations, but the results were all useless.

Link lazy her waist, kissed her on the mouth, and said, "This is the temperate rainforest!" "So people in other states say that people in Huazhou are tech nerds. In fact, even if you don't understand technology, you will become very homely in the western part of Huazhou because of the weather. ”

Jessica rested her head on his shoulder, giggled and said, "California is still a fake chest and orange in the eyes of people in other states!"

Link glanced at the high bulge on her chest and teased, "I can prove that California girls' breasts are true!"

Jessica looked up and looked at him with a smirk, "Speaking of which, how many California girls' boobs have you played with?"

In fact, people in other states say that California's fake breasts are just a joke. Because California has Silicon Valley, and prosthetic breasts were filled with silicon silicon a long time ago. As for oranges, that's true. California's oranges account for at least 80 percent of U.S. production.

The two laughed for a while, forgetting the bad mood brought by the bad weather.

A week after Halloween, the U.S. election ended and the president was re-elected, representing that most of the previous four years of U.S. policy will be continued over the next four years. And Link didn't go to the polls.

The results of the re-election of parliaments at all levels were also reached, and Charlie Giovanni successfully defeated the incumbent members of parliament in his constituency and officially entered politics. Although Link was concerned about the election of members of California, it was Charlie himself who called to inform him, and he was the first to get the news.

Charlie can inform him as soon as possible, no matter what the considerations are, and this attitude certainly makes him feel comfortable.

Two days after the election, Fan Zhongkun suddenly called to visit him. He didn't plan to go far in the last few days, so he asked the other party to come over.

The weather was fine for the past two days, and after Fan Zhongkun arrived, Link invited him to play golf.

Fan Zhongkun came to the Three Treasures Hall this time, and of course he was willing to have a more relaxed atmosphere. And he was really curious about the golf courses in Ozette.

"A standard course like no other!"

They came to the tee area on the first hole of the course, and Fan Zhongkun said with a smile as he looked at the fairways about a foot higher than the sides.

Link drew his par one and compared the ball and said, "It's a helpless move, there is a lot of rain here, and if the fairway and the ground on both sides are level, the fairway will be flooded." ”

In order to keep the fairway from turning into rotten grass in rainy weather, the fairway is covered with gravel and laterite, and the top layer is a mixture of fine sand, clay and cinder, which is easy to soften after a long time in water.

Underneath the sides of the fairway are coarse sand and gravel, and there is also an underground drainage system. It can quickly drain the stagnant water in the stadium.

As he spoke, he knocked the ball out in a standard-looking stance. As a result, the ball was hit quite far, even over the green. However, the ball fell into the woods tens of meters high.

Fan Zhongkun saw the landing point of the ball, and couldn't help but smile and said: "It seems that you said that you can't play, it's really not modest." ”

Link knew the ball was useless. He smiled and re-stabbed the ball, put a ball back on, and said, "Actually, after this course was built, it was my first shot here." ”

Of course, this stadium is not useless before. The winemakers come to play when they have free time.

Fan Zhongkun saw that his swing posture was only on the table, so he smiled and said, "You take a look at my shot first!" he said and put on a standard posture, specially in terms of speed, and finally swung it out. But he didn't go far with this shot, he laughed at himself. "I'm old, I'm useless!"

Of course, Link understood that Fan Zhongkun was teaching him how to play just now. It's just hard to say.

He carefully looked at Fan Zhongkun's posture and saw something he hadn't noticed before, and when he heard the other party's words, he smiled: "Your age is the golden period for a businessman!"

As he spoke, he swung a shot. This time he controlled the power and the ball was much closer than the first shot, but it finally landed on the fairway.

He smiled and said, "Are there any drawbacks to this one?"

"Almost, there is no problem after proficiency. ”

Since there were no caddies, the two got into the court car and drove along the lane to where the ball was.

There are actually a lot of rules for golf. For example, after hitting a ball, smooth out the marks of the ball on the grass, especially on the green. Carts cannot be driven to the fairway, and club boxes cannot be placed on the fairway and green.

Especially on the greens, there are even walking requirements. You can't shuffle your feet, you can't poke your club on the grass.

They don't have a caddie to assist, so they have to decide what club to use. Fan Zhongkun changed a club, hit the ball on the green, and said with a smile: "It seems that the technology is still there!"

Link smiled, prepared to hit the ball, and said, "You definitely didn't come to me to experience my court." As he spoke, he hit the ball on the green.

Fan Zhongkun really didn't come to play. At this time, when I heard Link take the initiative to mention it, there was no mother-in-law, and said, "Actually, I sent you an invitation." ”

Link was stunned for a moment and asked, "What invitation?"

"The Chinese Chamber of Commerce in San Francisco is preparing to hold a West Coast Networking Conference. They know I'm familiar with you, so they asked me to invite you. ”

"Fellowship?" Link asked, muttering. "What is the purpose?"

Fan Zhongkun didn't say anything about the vanity. He said with a wry smile: "Didn't we hold a comprehensive Chinese development forum in New York before? But as a result, the Chinese everywhere are still fighting on their own. ”

"Each has its own interests!"

"You're right. Fan Zhongkun nodded and said. "In this year's election, four Chinese people in San Francisco are electing for state legislators in two constituencies. As a result, because of the dispersion of forces, they all failed. ”

"That's normal. Link said as he walked. "There is only one MP per constituency. If one of them gives up, it means that he will give up later. ”

"Maybe that's why you say it. However, the Chinese candidate in Huazhou also lost. But there was one successful election in Oregon. ”

"So this fraternity meeting is actually for connecting feelings?"

"Although the purpose is to unite the Chinese in the western United States, I think it can only be a relationship. Fan Zhongkun shook his head with a smile and said. "The Chinese in the United States do not have a leader now, there are business groups in business, and the same industry can be united, but the Chinese still need to succeed politically. It's just quite difficult. The power of the Chinese is weak, unless some people voluntarily give up and focus on supporting those who are most likely to succeed. Only then can more Chinese appear in the political arena of the United States. ”

As they walked up the green, Link motioned for him to putt first, and said, "Maybe you can do the same thing you did in the U.S. election, where you can do an internal caucuse and then focus on supporting the winner of the caucuse." ”

"That's idealistic. The first question is, who will judge the pre-selection, and the candidates they support represent their own interests. Zhang San has a close relationship with us, and our restaurant chamber of commerce will definitely support Zhang San, and another chamber of commerce will also support Li Si for the same reason. ”

With that, he bent down and prepared to putt. Link didn't speak for a while.

When he made a putt, the ball slid through the hole. Link walked over to his ball, his ball, not far from the hole, and he pushed the ball into the hole with one shot. As he pulled the ball out, he said, "So? Do you think this kind of camaraderie can change that?"

Fan Zhongkun shook his head and said, "Everyone knows it's impossible, but it's better than doing nothing." If it doesn't work once, then twice, three times. Our chambers of commerce plan to hold such a gathering twice a year in the future, to understand the ideas of other parties, and at the same time to let more Chinese people in politics and other businessmen get to know each other better. ”

Link nodded and said, "That's a good idea indeed. However, I'm not from California, so you invited me in the hope that I would support me financially?"

"There was indeed that intention. Fan Zhongkun didn't say that the Chinese in California knew that Link's Beni Hans supported Charlie Awani had successfully run for office. And I also know about how much Charlie Giovanni spent on the campaign. "In addition, you also know that the Chinese in the United States are mainly concentrated on the West Coast, and increasing contact with each other is also good for the unity of the Chinese. ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "When is it going to happen?"

"November 15th. Here's the invitation. Fan Zhongkun took out an envelope from his pocket.

Link took it. He also thought about how he could integrate into Chinese society without making people suspect that he was ambitious. This sorority may be an opportunity.
