Chapter 588: Little Laura is born
Rami Maklov is a Texan native who has lived in Tarrant County for three generations and has worked on farms and ranches.
His grandfather's generation was a farmer, but unfortunately his farm was completely destroyed in a fire more than 40 years ago. The point is that his grandfather didn't read at all and couldn't trust the salesmen, so he didn't buy insurance at all.
After the fire, the Maklov family, which had a decent family, has since changed from a farmer to a skilled farm worker who works for other farmers and manages ordinary farm workers.

level of bodyguards. The main thing is that he really doesn't have any skills and special abilities, except for loyalty and a strong body that can block bullets for Abel, everything else is mediocre.
If he has one or two skills, such as being able to drive or marksmanship well, he will definitely be able to go up to the 4S level.
The lowest rank is the one who has just joined, and is still training and studying in Sunnis Town and ...... Brainwashed newcomers.
They are generally only D or DD class, but even the lowest class within the two rock security ranks far more than some ordinary workers and ordinary white-collar workers in Texas and several nearby states.
For example, the median household income in Texas was $56,100 in 2002, compared with $58,700 in the United States.
It seems that the average income of Texans is a little worse than the average income of Americans.
However, because of the vast territory of Texas and the abundance of internal resources, food and energy can be produced and sold or even exported.
So the cost of living in Texas is much lower than in other states with higher incomes.
The median annual household income of $56,100 can be more comfortable than most other states in the United States.
The lowest level of security for D-class employees in Rock is paid $3,000 per month. It doesn't seem like a lot, but it's important to know that there is no personal income tax in Texas, and the company also provides free health insurance to employees.
A salary of $3,000 can be paid directly, which is already higher than the income of most Americans!
The minimum personal income of $36,000 a year is 72,000 after that,2 which is much higher than the median household income of 56,100.
Perhaps for this reason, Tarrant County welcomes a large number of applicants for the four external recruitment of Rock Security every year.
Some of them are locals, some are from other parts of Texas, and some are from other states in the United States.
Tarrant locals can easily apply even after graduating from secondary school as long as they can find out their past experience and their family's experience in the past ten years.
Texans are a little stricter, and people from other states in the United States are even stricter.
For this reason, Sunnis Town, located at the foot of the original Sunnis Mountain, which is mainly composed of rock security employees and their families, has grown from more than 2,000 people at the beginning to more than 20,000 people in three years, making it the largest town in Tarrant County.
Rami Maklov's wife and children now live in Sunnistown.
The town now has hospitals, elementary and middle schools, supermarkets and shopping malls, and various entertainment and leisure venues, and the standard of living is much better than most towns in the United States.
So Rami Maklov has been working for his boss Abel Smith very willingly, like many other rock security employees and family members.
On the night of July 20, Rami Maklov followed his boss on the boss's "Smith" and returned to Texas from Los Angeles overnight, returning to the Smith Farm, where Rami Maklov had worked for many years.
Unlike in the past, a runway has been built near Smith Farm that can accommodate large wide-body airliners like the Boeing 747, as well as a small dedicated airport.
You no longer have to drive for about two hours from Dallas Fort Worth Airport back to Smith Farm every time you come back from outside.
Along with several other bodyguards, Rami huddles the boss and gets off the plane.
Even after returning to his "hometown", Rami is still very dedicated and vigilantly scans the surroundings to beware of any unexpected events that affect the safety of his boss.
This dedication and quiet work is one of the reasons why he is able to rank high as an SSS-level rock security bodyguard.
Otherwise, if he only relied on his loyalty and body, he would not be able to enjoy such a good salary and income.
Following the boss all the way, Rami and a large group of people are speeding forward. Soon everyone was in front of the many beautiful white buildings on Smith Farm.
On the top of the building at the head, a conspicuous red cross sign hangs, making it clear that it is a hospital. It is now the Smith Gospel Hospital, which is now well-known in Tarrant County and even in North Central Texas.
It is a private hospital opened by the Smith family in partnership with the largest local Protestant Methodist Church in County Tallrant County, next to Smith Farm.
However, as his own person, Rami actually knew that the Methodist Church was only famous in this hospital.
The rest of the investments are all taken care of by the boss.
Several of the boss's medical research studios, which Lamy couldn't understand, were all doing research work in this hospital.
So the Smith Gospel Hospital is very large, but the second half of the hospital is not accessible to idlers and patients, and it is a restricted area for medical research studios, and there are many rock security staff guarding it.
Ordinary people and the surrounding patients can only enter the front part of the hospital.
Because it is an evangelistic hospital, it provides medical assistance to the faithful every year, and the fees are cheaper than other hospitals in the area.
In terms of medical technology, Smith Gospel Hospital is even a benchmark around.
People from several other surrounding counties, after suffering from diseases that cannot be solved locally, will no longer have to go to Houston for treatment as before.
Smith Gospel Hospital, has been able to solve most of their physical ailments, and the fees are really cheaper than other places. Even those who do not have good health insurance do not have to worry about going bankrupt after medical treatment here.
This aspect even made Rami feel that the boss was simply a saint in the world, because he really couldn't afford to be sick in the United States......
In China, it is basically necessary to get cancer and many more serious diseases, which may cause the whole family to be impoverished due to illness.
In the United States, some common diseases, if you go to the wrong hospital, can make people go bankrupt.
Therefore, Americans basically rely on various painkillers for minor diseases, and only those who can't get the pain medication will consider going to the hospital......
This is the core reason why the proliferation of painkillers in the United States has led to the proliferation of laundry detergent.
There are too many painkillers, and the drug resistance is ineffective, so can't you knock more drugs?
Welcome to Chemistry Bliss!
Rami Maklov followed his boss and hurried to the hospital. Bypassing the fountain square in front of which the patients relax and stroll, and entering a corridor guarded 24 hours a day, the group finally arrived at the interior of the Smith Gospel Hospital, a special department halfway between the hospital and the research studio.
This is a place that Rami knows because this is the real private hospital for the Smith family's own use. Employees of Rock Security S or higher, who themselves and their immediate family members are able to live in this area if they are sick.
One of the most elite medical teams in the United States is working here and conducting medical research.
「…… What do you think? Raw? Didn't you say that the due date was at the end of the month?"
For the first time since getting off the plane, Rami Maklov heard his boss speak, and his voice was still a little urgent.
The boss is talking to Rami Maklov's grandfather and the old Smiths, to whom the Makelov family is still very grateful.
When the Marklov family's farm burned down and Rammy's grandfather went bankrupt and had no way out, it was the kind old Smiths who came to help.
At that time, he not only provided a job to Lamy's grandfather, who could only work on the farm and had no other skills.
He also paid the property tax on the farm land for the Maklov family, who couldn't even take out $100 at the time.
After all, although the farm on the land has been burned, the land is still there, and the land tax must be paid, and if you don't pay it, you will wait to be confiscated!
In the following years, when Marklov couldn't pay the property tax at all, it was all Old Smith who paid it for him.
It wasn't until later, when Maklov saw that there was no hope of a comeback, that he had no choice but to sell the land to Old Smith to pay off the debt he had paid for years in real estate taxes.
Rami Maklov had heard his father say that strictly the land where the Smith Gospel Hospital is now located was a horse
The edge of the junction of Clov Farm and Smith Farm comes to ......
As for Rami when he was a child, there were rumors among local farmers that the fire at Marklov's farm that year may be related to Old Smith.
It may or may not be that he put it in order to buy the land of the Maklov family's farm cheaply.
Rammy's grandfather and father scoffed at this, because at that time the Maklov family begged everyone around them, but they did not get help. In the end, only old Smith stepped forward to help.
Besides, if that fire was really set by old Smith, why did he come out to help old Marklov, who was on the verge of suicide at that time?
If you really covet the land on Maklov's farm, you can wait for Maklov to go bankrupt and become a vagabond, a vagrant, or commit suicide, and then buy it cheaply.
With the prestige of the elder Smith in the local area at the time, Rammy's grandfather said that it could never be the old Smith who set the fire.
These are old things, and Rami doesn't care about them at all now. He watched as the boss and old Smith talked.
"You've got so many children. You're more familiar with this kind of thing than I am! The doctor said that it is normal that about 60% of mothers will not give birth on the due date. It's normal to be a little later or a little earlier."
"Okay, okay, I'm just concerned about it. Is little Laura okay?"
"I was in the delivery room just now, and the doctor said that labor had begun."
"I'm going in with her!"
Rami heard his boss say firmly, and then staggered away from Old Smith and headed for the hospital.
Rami followed, as always, flanked by Boss Edward and Boss Lincoln.
Boss Johnson and Boss Lin, the two of them are responsible for guarding outside.
All the way to the production room with the lights on, Rami and Edward Boss were stopped and asked to wait outside.
The boss changed into sterile costumes with Captain Doni and another female bodyguard and went into the operating room.
Half an hour passed.
The boss hasn't come out yet.
In the hallway outside, Thomas, a bodyguard who had also worked at Smith's Farm before, whispered curiously, "Why haven't you come out yet?" God willing, and I hope that dear Lady Laura is in good health!"
The active Thomas was a devout Methodist who liked to bring the Father, the Son, and the Virgin with him at every turn.
"Of course it'll be fine. Don't talk nonsense!" Captain Edward whispered a rebuke to Thomas.
Thomas smiled flatteringly and replied to the captain, "Ah, boss, I just care. Blessed by the Blessed Virgin Mary, of course I know there will be no problem!"
"Humph......" Edward snorted softly, but the originally muffled atmosphere opened up for Thomas.
These Abel's closest bodyguards began to chat in a low voice.
Lincoln said, "Sure enough, Lady Laura is the most important. Other...... Ladies, when they gave birth, the boss was never so anxious."
Some people give birth to children, and the boss doesn't even come to the scene!
Lincoln didn't dare to say this bold sentence, and he was afraid that Edward would scold him.
In the sequence of Rock Security, Edward Sephorosa, the son of old Sephorosa, who was already the manager of Smith Farm, has always been the tallest one.
"Nonsense!" Edward whispered, "Lady Laura...... She is Orthodox. Orthodoxy, understand? Other...... Madame, although they were born of Smith, they will only be branches in the future."
These rough people can't understand the difference between a sister-in-law and an illegitimate child, but the boss treats the ladies differently, and they still understand it in their eyes.
At this moment, the wireless communicator pinned to Edward's waist suddenly dripped.
He hurriedly picked it up, and the voice of Lin who was guarding outside came from inside.
The only Asian in the Four King Kongs, Lin said, "Edward, the people from the bush have arrived. Mr. and Mrs. Grandfather and Mr. and Mrs. Herbert, are now going inside, finish."
rock
The first group of security guards was simple and rude about the Alex couple and the Alexanders. Because he is the elder of the boss, he is not easy to call by his name, so he is simply "grandfather", "grandmother", "father", and "mother".
"Roger, over." Edward answered, put the wireless communicator away, and warned the others, "Hear me, do your job!"
Everyone should be, and after a while, two pairs of old men came to the outside of the operating room.
Alex and his wife were waiting outside just now and didn't come in with Abel. It was waiting for Mr. and Mrs. Herbert, who also received the news, but happened to go to Washington for some reason, and also rushed back overnight.
As for little Laura's parents and the Alexander couple. As members of Congress, they are also important members of the Foreign Relations Committee of the US House of Representatives.
Neil is also the deputy leader of the Asia Pacific team, and Alex is the Africa team leader. It just so happened that this was the collective work month of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and several regional groups poured out to make a fortune and vent the influence of the empire around the world.
Many times, in the eyes of these people, this is a publicly-funded group tour.
So of course, I will bring my family with me, and I expect to come back on the 23rd.
After receiving the news, basically he couldn't come back before little Laura was born.
Neil, who had silenced himself, along with his other colleagues, stood quietly in a few corners and watched two pairs of old men waiting outside.
The two old women looked a little anxious, and Alex and Herbert naturally didn't see any urgency, and kept talking in a low voice.
They also didn't shy away from the bodyguards around them, because they also knew that these were trustworthy people.
"Abel wants to move the hammer, which is a bit risky. Herbert, why don't you stop him? I even went to Washington!"
"Hehe, Alex. Others are afraid of hammers, but I am not afraid. When I was on Capitol Hill, we had a lot of fights! The most important thing is that the hapless Tom Dre is sick! If you're not in good health, don't rely on your position."
"Okay, okay. I have to admit that you are more professional in this area. Since you think so and support him, then I won't say anything."
"Hey, don't look like that. If Abel and I succeed, there is a good chance that Alexander can replace him. At least he can be replaced in Texas! Tut-tut-tut- If it weren't for the stipulation that those who had been the Grand Commander could no longer hold any public office, I would have wanted to be shameless myself."
"I hope Tom doesn't blame me."
"Huh...... I don't think he will, he's a smart guy, a really smart guy."
"Cunning old fox!"
"Hey, hypocritical old blue cat!"
「……」
Listening to the conversation between the two old men, Rami seemed to understand.
Fortunately, at this time, the lights of the operating room, which had been on all the time, dimmed.
Alex and Herbert's conversation immediately stopped, and after a while, Abel was seen holding an swaddling baby, followed by a group of doctors and nurses pushing an operating cart, on which lay Lady Laura with open eyes and a smile on her face, and walked out of it.
"Hey!"
When Rami heard that the boss, who was as kind in his heart as the Son, as loving as the Virgin Mary, and as powerful and omnipotent as the Father, he lifted the swaddling cloth in his hand and laughed loudly, "My son has been born!"
Rami was happy in her heart, knowing that Mrs. Laura had given birth smoothly, and the Smith orthodoxy in Edward's mouth finally came out!
This feeling, Rami who has never read any books and has no culture, does not quite understand how to explain it.
If he had read the book, he would probably understand this feeling, just as the vassals of the European feudal lords were as happy to see the birth of the little master.
Because in that way, the vassals of the feudal lord do not have to worry that the feudal lord has no descendants, and they have to introduce other side branches or even external feudal lords, which will lead to turmoil in the fiefdom and affect everyone's stability and interests.
All in all, it's worth it
Gotta be happy.
Rami plans to wait until he takes a break and drinks hard to celebrate!
He also noticed that Boss Edward and Boss Lincoln next to him were also very happy.
Rami guessed that maybe everyone thought so.
