Chapter 410: Neighbors
In the morning, as the morning sun rises above the sea level, the birds start chirping. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because the villas on Hibiscus Island are completely separated by dense woods, the greenery is very well protected, so from time to time you can see one or two squirrels or raccoons running around, not afraid of people at all.
Of course, it's not just raccoons and squirrels that you can see often, but also wild crocodiles from Everglades National Park.
These fierce reptiles are basically the top of the road, and lying on that road for more than ten minutes will immediately cause a traffic jam, except for waiting for government workers to arrest and drive them away, there is no good way.
However, it is a pity that Miami does not see the beauties who get up to exercise in the morning, most of the beauties will not get up after ten o'clock, their active time is the afternoon and evening, only a large group of old people over fifty years old are jogging along the road in the early morning, every time they see someone passing by, they will greet each other warmly, whether the other party is a rich or celebrity, or a gardener who mows the lawn, they are all treated equally, showing a harmonious scene.
"Good morning, sir!" waved an old woman in her sixties who had maintained a very good figure.
Because the wealthy in the United States advocate health and exercise, it is rare to see bloated fat people in the residential areas of the rich, even if they are sixty or seventy years old.
I have to say that this has to do with the eating habits and culture of Americans.
In their minds, fat is synonymous with poverty, and only those who can't afford to eat organic vegetables and fruits, eat junk food all day long, and don't have time to exercise, will become fat.
"Good morning, ma'am!" Lu Li replied with a smile on his face.
He had just driven to the nearby Whole Foods supermarket, which is also known as the healthiest and most expensive supermarket in the country, and bought a lot of meat, vegetables, fruits, milk, yogurt, eggs, juices, flour, rice, beans, corn and more printed with the Green Nutrition Food Association's certification logo, ready to fill the empty refrigerator.
Although the price is several times more expensive than that of ordinary supermarkets, it can at least ensure that it is pure natural and pollution-free.
After all, a lot of food in the United States is calculated according to domestic standards, and it is a serious overdose of hormones and drugs, and it is not genetically modified, and if you eat too much, your face will keep getting acne, and he doesn't dare to buy it and feed the two little guys at home.
In addition, there are condiments, clothing, shoes and hats, daily necessities, toiletries, ......
Anyway, I bought everything I could think of, and I guess I don't need to go to the supermarket for at least a week or so.
The old woman was obviously very fond of conversation, and continued to ask with a smile: "Have you just moved here, and what villa do you live in?"
"Villa 37, the Spanish-style house on the west side is my home. You guessed it, I only moved in last night. ”
Seeing that the other party wanted to chat with him, Lu Li simply stopped the car, pushed open the door and walked down, and politely owed a debt.
"Oh - I remember, two days ago people talked about Mr. and Mrs. Gerling of Villa 37, who had suffered a great loss because of the stock market crash a few years ago, and had recently become insolvent and bankrupt, and their real estate, their real estate, their cars, their yachts, their planes, their stocks, their farms, all of which had been taken away by the bank and put up for sale, and your car was a birthday present from them to their son. The old woman suddenly realized.
"Are you saying that the car I drive and the house I live in belong to the same family?" Lu Li glanced down at the Ferrari F60 behind him, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
The old woman nodded slightly: "That's right! Furong Island is slightly smaller than Palm Island, there are less than a hundred households in total, and I have lived there for twenty years, and I know almost all of them." Didn't you read the relevant information when you bought a car and a house?"
"Uh...... I really didn't buy it myself. The car was a gift from a business partner, and the house was a gift from an elder, so I didn't know much about that. Lu Li explained with a wry smile.
"Wow! A car of more than three million dollars and a house of more than twelve million dollars have been given away, and you must have done a great business!" the old woman exclaimed with wide eyes.
Lu Li smiled noncommittally and shook his head: "It's okay, in a city like Miami, where billionaires are everywhere, my business is not too big, but fortunately, the profits are good." By the way, I haven't asked you what you call it?"
When asked for her name, the old woman immediately became very happy, pointed to a beige European-style villa more than two hundred meters away, and said: "My name is Rachel, and the house over there is my home, and I will hold a banquet at home in the middle of every month. ”
"Thank you very much, definitely go when you have time. In addition, my name is Lu Li, with my surname in front and my first name in the back. Lu Li briefly introduced himself.
"Lu Li, Li, Lu, why does this name sound a little familiar......" Rachel seemed to remember something, quickly took out her mobile phone from her pocket and looked through it, just a few seconds later, she suddenly raised her head and shouted excitedly: "It turned out to be you! You are the founder of Alibi Biotechnology, the Chinese who created the cure for all terminal diseases! God! This damn face blindness!"
Lu Li never expected that an old woman he met on the road would recognize him, and asked with a confused face: "You actually know me?
"Of course! In some special circles, you are much more famous than the stars of Hollywood. Rachel gave the answer without thinking.
"Special circle?!" Lu Li's face showed a hint of suspicion.
"Yes, even those rich people who have terminal illnesses themselves or have relatives who are terminally ill, they are all eagerly waiting for your company to release products. I've heard that the first batch is only a hundred, and it's still being snapped up online, right?" Rachel asked several questions in one breath.
She was obviously very concerned about this matter, and her eyebrows revealed nervousness and uneasiness.
Lu Li was keenly aware of this, and said in a low voice, "Madam, is there something wrong with your body?" Or is it that your relatives have a physical problem. If I need help, I think I can provide a little convenience for the sake of our neighbors. ”
Rachel hurriedly waved her hand: "No, it's not me, it's not my relatives, to be exact, I don't have any relatives anymore." The sick one was little Page in Villa Twelve, the child was only six months old and had amyotrophic lateral medullary sclerosis, and the doctor said that there was no complete cure, especially for babies, and having this disease was equivalent to a terminal illness, which was simply pitiful. Barton and Mrs. Patton were going crazy about it. ”
"You are so kind-hearted, don't worry, go and inform Mr. and Mrs. Barton, and I will provide ten fruits, enough to sustain you for more than three months. Lu Li now figured out what was going on with this old woman.
To summarize simply, her personality is similar to those warm-hearted neighborhood committee aunts in China, usually don't look like nosy and gossip, but once the neighbor really encounters difficulties and asks for help, she is definitely the first to lend a hand.
