The hottest day since summer is finally coming to an end, and everything seems to be shrouded in a drowsy silence. In the Muggle community, the cars that are usually shiny are now covered in dust.
Parked on the driveway, the once green grass has turned yellow and withered. Due to the severe drought, the use of watering hoses has been banned.
But Lane's lawn looks lush and green. As a (self-proclaimed) plant modification master, it is very simple to do some tricks on your own lawn to make them look prettier.
The interior of the house is completely different from the beautiful environment outside, and everything is messy. The people in the house are preparing for an important trip, so a large number of boxes and cabinets have been opened for better packing.
Why is the house now as messy as moving? The reason for this situation starts from the first day Ryan arrived home.
When Ryan came home exhausted that day, dragging his suitcase, he was surprised to find that his parents were not at home, so he had no choice but to open the door and go in. As a result, it was not until the evening that he saw his parents walk into the house with tired but relaxed expressions on their faces.
"Oh, my God, we actually forgot that today is the day when our son comes back. We have been really busy these past two days." Mother Sally exclaimed, looking at a table of dishes prepared in the restaurant and slapping her forehead.
"It's okay, I can take care of myself alone." Ryan said after putting the last dish on the table, "By the way, why are you back so late? Is there something wrong?"
"A more important matter." Mr. Lambert wiped the sweat from his face after hanging the suit on the hanger. "Let's talk about it after dinner, because this matter is very important. We need to have a more formal chat.
.”
"What? Are you planning to go to China in the next few years?" After dinner, everyone sat in the living room and started chatting. As a result, Mr. Lambert's first words shocked Ryan. Although he did hope that his parents would be happy after Voldemort returned.
He could go to a safe place, but Ryan never thought that his parents would leave voluntarily before he could find a suitable plan.
"Yes, and it's not just us. The same applies to the Granger family nearby. Today we went to the embassy to get our visas together." At this time, Mr. Lambert broke another bombshell news.
What is going on? Although things are indeed developing for the better now, Ryan still wants to find out what happened. Fortunately, Mr. Lambert explained the reason clearly later.
The story begins with the summer vacation when Sirius escaped from Azkaban. During that summer vacation, the Ryan family and Hermione's family dug up a treasure, and later exchanged it with the French for more than two million pounds. After being divided equally, each family had a treasure.
More than one million in cash.
After having that money, Ryan's parents started their trip around the world as soon as the vacation was over. Naturally, the finale of this trip was to have a lot of fun in China and visit Ryan's grandparents who returned to China for retirement.
As a result, in China, Mr. Lambert received an unprecedented warm reception in the small town where Lane's grandparents retired. The small town was near Lin'an, but unfortunately it was surrounded by mountains and was a bit far from the city. Although the roads were well built, because
There are no local special products, so everyone's life is not very good.
Mr. Lambert discovered a very good business opportunity there, and she chose to invest there when she had a lot of money. Although 1 million pounds may not be a big deal in a big city, in 1993, this money was in the south.
The town has an astronomical figure. With the help of all parties, the investment soon paid off.
"Dad, what did you invest in?" Ryan was a little curious. He had the impression that foreign investment was welcomed everywhere in that era. It was normal for his father to be warmly received, let alone a well-known writer and a descendant of a local.
"Nursery and Chinese herbal medicine planting base." Mr. Lambert said no more. "It is a rapidly developing place. There is a huge demand for many things but there are not enough suppliers. After investigation, we found that the mountains in our hometown are quite suitable for growing these.
stuff, so I invested in those things.”
No wonder his father wrote several letters when he was in third grade asking him if wizards had any secrets on growing trees and herbs? At that time, Ryan had mastered Dave's plant-growing skills, so he thought of many good ways to mail them to his father.
"This is also thanks to you." Mother Sally said: "The plants grown according to your method have fewer diseases, are easier to manage, and grow better than others. With these plants that are obviously better than others, in the past two years,
We have made a lot of money. Because of this, we plan to temporarily move to Tianchao to take care of the business nearby. After all, our business is now in a period of rapid development, and there will always be all kinds of troubles if people are not around.
"
"And you have grown up. I believe you can take care of yourself. Besides, you can come to Tianchao to visit us during the holidays." Finally, mother Sally touched Ryan's head and said.
"Father, isn't your recent Edward Adventure series very popular? Don't you want to write about it in the future?" After reading this series of books, Ryan felt that they were very similar to Indiana Jones and the National Treasure series of novels. In the previous letter, his father was still showing off himself.
This set of books is so popular.
"I can write in China. A change of environment will be more conducive to writing. Then I can just send the manuscript to the publisher." Lambert said easily.
"So, what happened to Hermione's family?" After knowing the reason for his family's move, Ryan asked the next question.
"It was also about investment. I told Mr. Granger about it when I was drinking in the bar after returning from China, and told him that China is very suitable for investment now. As a result, he and his wife spent a month or two doing research.
, and finally went to China for two weeks to inspect." Mr. Lambert said.
"Then what?" "Then, after he came back, he bought several patents and licenses from his alma mater and classmates and friends, and then opened a manufacturing factory for dental consumables and instruments in Lin'an City, and also opened a dental clinic.
.You know that dentistry there is generally a subordinate department of the hospital, and there are very few professional dental clinics. They moved there this time and it was developing very fast, so they had to take command nearby to avoid any problems. Professional managers are indeed useful.
But there are many things they can’t handle at this stage.”
"Okay, I finally get it." Ryan thought, money can indeed change destiny, especially a lot of money. But it's good, once a fight breaks out, you don't have to worry about the safety of your home.
Early the next morning, Ryan and his family took a taxi and headed to London's Heathrow Airport carrying large and small bags. In the terminal, they met the Granger family. It seemed that they were taking the same taxi.
Take a plane.
"Okay, I heard that you will go live with your classmates next week, which is good. But you must take care of yourself when you are at home this week. Remember to lock the door and turn off the water, electricity and gas when you leave home." The two parents started
As the rambling arrangements arrived, Ryan and Hermione stood there and listened attentively.
"Okay, that's it, we're about to board the plane. If anything happens, you should help each other. I believe you can take care of yourselves." After saying this, the group left with their luggage.
Ryan and Hermione watched their parents disappear from sight before leaving the airport and taking the bus back to their neighborhood.
