Chapter 61: Christmas

Cox resisted the urge to speak, and when the car stopped in the front yard of Hans's house, he couldn't hold back any longer.

"Hey, Link, have you decided to buy that type of plane?"

“PA-42。 I think it's a good plane. "Link used range plus take-off and landing distance to exclude the vast majority of small aircraft. PA-42 is the best for him. With a range of more than 4,000 kilometers, the take-off and landing distance may not be the shortest, but it only takes about one kilometer of runway to take off and land, and it does not have to be an asphalt runway.

The most important thing is that it can reach a speed of 500 kilometers per hour and a ceiling of 10,000 meters. And then there's the fact that it can carry up to nine passengers.

"I know it, it's ugly. ”

"But it's practical. Isn't it?" Link opened the door and got out of the car. I saw that a Christmas tree more than four meters high had been planted in the yard, but the tree was not yet decorated.

He asked Cox, who had just gotten out of the car, "Are all the things ready at home?"

"I haven't bought anything to decorate the Christmas tree yet, maybe we can go to Amber tomorrow and buy it. It seems that the illuminations used last year were burned. Oakes tossed the car keys to Link. "Alice went to Lily's house, and Mom wants her to come home at half-past five, and you can pick her up for me. You know, I made an appointment with Lemmy. ”

Link took the key and looked at his watch again, it would be less than three o'clock.

He watched Cox's blue Ford drive away with white exhaust fumes, stood still and thought for a while, didn't enter the house, and got back into the car and headed in the direction of Amber.

Twenty minutes later, he was at Harry's pizzeria.

The bell on the lintel was rung by the door that had been pushed open, and Zstanka, who was at the counter, looked up and saw that it was Link, and said with a smile, "Link, long time no see." I thought you'd be back tomorrow. ”

"I just got off the plane for half an hour. Link found a place to sit down.

Zstanka asked him, "Do you want pizza?"

"Yes, bring me half a small pizza and a glass of blueberry juice, in fact I didn't have lunch. "He flew on the plane for more than four hours and only nibbled on two mouthfuls of bread on the plane. "Harry is still busy?"

"Maybe he can rest for a while. I'll take a look. Zstanka smiled and wrote down the list, then walked over to the kitchen.

A short time later, Harry came out in his yellow overalls with a whole pizza in his hand, laughing and saying, "Link, man." You haven't been here for almost two months. Come on, I know you like to add more onions. He said he put Pisa on the table, and the man did it.

"You did it?"

"Yes. Although I have only learned how to mix noodles in the past few months, the key to pizza in our house is noodles. So that's what I did. "Pizza baking is now smarter.

Link picked up a corner, took a bite, chewed it a few times, and said, "Well, it's to my taste better than what I've eaten anywhere else." ”

"Haha, maybe in three months, I'll be able to leave the school. Harry also picked up a corner and ate it, saying. "Did Bill call you? I heard him say he's in love again. He laughed as he spoke, the fourth time in three months that the guy had said that.

"I've heard that. Link said with a smile. "He still likes gourds. What I want to say is that gourds and pumpkins are actually close relatives. As long as the waist is thick, the gourd will turn into a pumpkin. ”

"Haha......" Harry put down Pisa and laughed. "You're right, but only if he can see it. For a month, the gourd can not be transformed into a pumpkin. ”

He laughed for a moment and asked, "By the way, I heard that you have a good farm now." ”

"That's what you're talking about?"

"Forget you have three farms. But I'm talking about Hans Farm. I heard that thirty workers were employed there. ”

Link nodded and said, "It's thirty-six." "Not counting the bodyguards. "More in the future. "He can't invite so many people, those vineyards need to be weeded. He does not plan to use herbicides, but all by hand.

"I've heard that. You've planted over 1,900 acres of grapes. That's the largest vineyard in Nevada. Maybe you'll get two bottles of wine you made later. ”

At this point, Ztanka offered a glass of warm milk and a glass of blueberry juice and interjected, "I like dessert wine." ”

"Okay, I'll have someone make some sweet wine just for you, Zstanka. ”

"That's great. Zstanka retracted the tray and said. "For your sake, I invite you with this blueberry. As he spoke, he took the tray and walked away.

Link smiled and said, "How are you spending Christmas? Would you like to go to Las Vegas together?"

"Of course, I made an appointment with Zstanka to go all day. ”

When Link heard this, he shook his head and smiled and said, "Maybe I can ask Bill tomorrow." He's not going home until tomorrow. ”

"Maybe he prefers to go on a date with a gourd. Harry laughed again.

………………

When people grow up, festivals become a responsibility. Link, on the other hand, is still in the middle between growing up and not growing up. His only responsibility is to be with his family, and he doesn't think about other responsibilities for the time being. Such as lovers, children's joy, and so on.

On Christmas Day, the family wakes up and gives each other gifts. Link plans to go to Las Vegas, and Alice hears that she wants to go with her: "Dad and Mom are going to live in a world of two. Cox went on a date with Lemmy, can you bear to let me spend Christmas alone?"

Link had no choice but to agree to take her with him.

"Fantastic, I told Lily. I'm better with her to play together. Hearing that he agreed to take her to Las Vegas, Alice jumped to her feet, cheering for her phone.

Link asked loudly behind him, "Didn't you say you spent Christmas alone?"

"Yes, indeed!" Alice said with a laugh and exclaimed.

So Link went to pick her up with her. And Lily brought a small oil bottle with her - Angel.

Then they went to Amber together, and they went to join Bill and Harry.

Outside Harry's pizzeria, Link sees Harry's car. Seeing his car coming, Harry drove in front with two gestures from the window, and Bill's used car that he had rented from the garage immediately followed.

Alice: They were all sitting in the back seat of the car. She saw the two cars in front of her and asked Link, "Will they be with us too?"

"No, Harry and Zstanka are going on a date. Bill plans to try his luck and find someone to date. ”

"Where are we going, then?" Alice raised an eyebrow at Lily, smug on her face. "You're going to take us there?"

"Going shopping?"

"Of course, I made 1,300 dollars this year. Lily makes more than me, doesn't she make Lily!"

"We all make about the same amount. Lily hugged Angel. "I'm talking about earning money from your Hans farm. ”

Link was about to speak, Angel shouted, "Link, I'm going to buy Barbie." I made two hundred and thirty dollars. ”

"Angel, aren't you going to save until you're sixteen to buy a car? ”

Angel blinked, flipped through his small backpack, and said, "Link, I only have fifteen dollars, can I buy Barbie?"

Link laughed and teased her, "Well, you can buy an ice cream for Barbie." ”

Angel blinked and didn't turn for a while, and finally pouted, "But I haven't Barbie yet!"

"Then wait until you have enough money to buy Barbie and then go shopping. Lily said with a giggle.

"Link, do you have anything to do?" Alice glanced at Lily, her eyes rolling. "Shall we go back after watching a movie in the evening?"

"Watching a movie, are there any good movies lately?"

"I heard that the sci-fi film "Hanging Star" is very good, and the literary romance film "Elsa's Self-Esteem" also has a high rating. ”

Link nodded and said, "Then see if you can buy a ticket." I'm afraid it's not easy to sell tickets today. ”

"I'll see if I can book tickets online. Alice smiled and took out her phone to surf the Internet.

Lily was puzzled that the two films had been in full theaters for a week and a half, and they had seen them last weekend.

Alice gave her a look back and told her not to speak.

"Link, 'Elsha's Self-Esteem' still has a ticket. There was a show at 3:30 p.m. and a show at 8:10 p.m. Do you think it's the right one to watch?"

Link thought for a moment and said, "It's better to see the remaining seats in that game." ”

"You don't have anything else to do that afternoon. Alice prefers to watch it at night.

Link thought about it for a moment and thought it would be safer to go and see it at night. Still, he cautioned: "You have to pay attention to the fact that Angel is not yet five years old. Can she watch the movie you chose?"

"Uh-oh~ I forgot that both of these movies are NC-17 level. ”

Link glanced at her from the rearview mirror and asked suspiciously, "Aren't there any cartoon movies?"

Lily said: "There's 'Crazy Primitives IV' premiering tonight. But there are no tickets left today. ”

"Have you checked?"

"Yes, my mom was going to take Angel with her to see that movie today. But I can't buy today's tickets. ”

"Billy will go and Coloe will go and see it, and Kiss and Tom ......" Angel said dejectedly as she said a long list of names. "But I can't look at it. ”

"Mom, she did her best. Tickets for the premiere are sold out. Lily said helplessly.

Link looked back and saw the little one pouting, only to hear her say, "But they can talk about primitives, but I haven't seen it." ”

"Rest assured, at the beginning of the next semester, they will forget about the primitives. ”

Link smiled and said, "Let's plan what we're going to play today." ”

Angel immediately stopped worrying and shouted, "Amusement park, I'm going to play pirate ships, and go to the haunted house." ”

"You can go to an amusement park, but you can't play a pirate ship or go to a haunted house. "The little guy is only a little over four years old, what should I do if I go to a haunted house and get scared?

Amid an argument over what the three girls should play, they soon arrive in Las Vegas. The three cars soon separated from each other. They all have friends of their own. Link has it too, but it's not as close as Bill and Harry. And now that he has three girls by his side, he has no plans to find other friends.

In fact, he did have something to do with this time. But not today. Today, most companies are on holiday, and if he wants to do it, he can only do it tomorrow. If it weren't for Alice and the others, he would have planned to spend the night on Belize Avenue tonight. I'm going to run errands early tomorrow morning. But now, it's likely that they'll have to be sent back tonight.

They go straight to the amusement park and shoot toys, bumper cars, Ferris wheels...... A couple of girls play with everything. Angel was going to play the merry-go-round, and Link wasn't going to play with it, so the three of them went to play.

Link was waiting outside the carousel's shed. He watched Angel giggle in Lily's arms, and thought of her terrified face when he was shot by the killer.

He shook his head, took out his mobile phone and dialed the MGM Grand Hotel: "Hello, I want to charter a small screening room." ”
