"Oh, by the way, do you know who bought Old Donald's house?"
Halfway through eating, Fei Long suddenly said mysteriously.
"Who? You know?"
Owen is really curious.
"Haha, I don't know them either, but they came here in the afternoon. You were probably not at home at that time. They were a newly married couple. I had a brief chat with them. It seems that they will move in in the next few days.
, I’m going to hold a party then for everyone to have fun..."
"You are such a good person, I respect you~"
The guests and hosts enjoyed the meal thoroughly. Feilong was really a good person, enthusiastic, down-to-earth, and not too egotistical.
"Thank you for your hospitality. You are so kind. My wife will definitely like you. When she comes back, I will invite you to my home."
When leaving, Owen said goodbye to the Fei Long family with a smile. He really felt that this family was a good family and he was very lucky to have a good neighbor.
…
The next few days passed very peacefully. Owen didn't know what was going on these days. He always felt lazy and stayed at home without wanting to go out.
After coming back from school one day, Martin excitedly told Owen that no one in the school would dare to bully him and Justin, who were Asians. Owen just smiled, unless that gangster didn't want to live anymore, otherwise the words of those gangsters would definitely be worse.
The principal's words are all good.
The heat about the Mountain Man murder case finally began to cool down, and people no longer focused all their attention on it. People in the community seemed to be surprisingly consistent. No one mentioned this in front of Owen, and no one pointed at him anymore.
.
However, Owen no longer had the motivation to do morning exercises, because he stayed at home and became obsessed with painting.
The weather in Los Angeles has been weird in the past few days. It's sunny every day during the day, and then it starts to rain in the afternoon.
Owen gradually developed a habit of standing in front of the window and looking outside every day. The way the raindrops fell on the leaves and the puddles made many things look a little more magical under the background of the rain.
The artistic conception makes people feel its unique beauty.
Owen draws several simple sketches every day. He has a good foundation and good insight. When he was a policeman, he often had to do face puzzles, so he can draw sketches with ease.
In the morning, noon, afternoon, and night, he would draw whenever he was bored. He would stand in the window like a sculpture. Occasionally, neighbors passing by would wave to him when they saw him.
After watching too much, he learned about the daily routine of his neighbors. Martin left home on time at 7:30 every morning to go to school. Basically, his friend Justin came to see him every day. Feilong left at 9:30, and his
Musical instrument stores don’t need to open too early, and most of the time they are run by Buddhists and close at whatever time they want.
Rose is a makeup artist and does not have to go to work every day. He only goes out when there is business, and his business basically comes from phone calls and the Internet.
The couple who bought Old Donald's house next door have also moved in, but Owen has not met them yet. He only knows that they are both office workers. The man has a black Cadillac with three compartments, and the woman has a
It was a silver Mercedes-Benz with a hatchback, and the two of them basically went out at the same time every morning.
This morning he met the man next door for the first time. The man went out to get a newspaper. Owen happened to be standing at the window holding a cup of coffee. The man saw him and waved to him. He was a handsome guy.
By chance, Feilong also went out to get the newspaper at this time, saw Irving, and waved to him.
Irving also knew that this handsome guy was very accurate in pitching, because one night when it rained, the mowing lawn of his house was left on the grass by the lazy Mexican. The handsome guy had no choice but to push the lawn mower back to the tool shed by himself.
I picked up the basketball and hit it with my eyes closed.
Look, Mexicans are so unreliable at work. If he hadn't had no choice, Irving would have wanted to fire this guy. Even if he did complain, he would just replace this Mexican with another Mexican, such as cleaning the lawn.
Except for summer students who work part-time and want to earn some pocket money, only Mexicans are willing to do it.
Finally, the weather cleared up and the weather forecast showed good weather in the next few days.
At this time, Owen also received a call from Feilong.
"Hey neighbor, the couple next door moved in, have you seen them?"
"No, I haven't gone out recently and haven't met each other yet. What's wrong?"
"Remember the party I mentioned? I've wanted to hold it for a long time, but the damn weather is getting better now. The Meteorological Bureau said the weather will be good in the next week. I'm planning to hold a party tonight. Please remember to come early...
"
"No problem at all."
Owen agreed wholeheartedly, and he was indeed going to be sick at home. After Feilong finished speaking, he hung up the phone. He also wanted to notify the other neighbors one by one. After a while, Owen saw Rose from the window driving out in her car. It should be
Go purchase various materials needed for the party.
Fei Long is a drinker. Although he drinks little vodka, he still knows the good and the bad. He was a little surprised when Irving gave him such a good wine that day. Later he tasted it himself and found that the wine was indeed expensive for a reason.
I made a special phone call to express my gratitude to Owen.
Since Fei Long liked it and he couldn't drink much by himself, Owen simply gave him another bottle. Owen rummaged through his luggage and found another bottle of vodka. The vodka Ulyanov gave him was high-end.
But Irving doesn’t have to spend any money anyway, so there’s no burden at all on giving it away.
…
At seven o'clock in the evening, the party started on time, and Owen came very early this time.
Different from the family dinner that day, today's party is mainly Western-style, with some cold meals, fruits and snacks. Everyone mainly gets together to chat, enhance relationships, and welcome new neighbors.
Many guests came one after another. There were many middle-aged people with families in this community, but there was also no shortage of young people, who gathered together to chat with acquaintances.
Owen is a long-time resident here and knows many people. They chatted casually with each other. Thinking about it, it seems that he has not been to parties for a long time.
Tuk-tuk-tuk~~
There was a knock at the door, and Rose opened the door.
"Welcome, new neighbors~~"
Rose stretched out her hands to hug the guests outside the door, while Feilong took the gift from the man, smiled and patted him on the shoulder. Hearing this noise, everyone knew that the new neighbor had arrived, and they spontaneously gathered around.
In American community culture, people are generally friendly to newly arrived neighbors. In some communities, neighbors will give cookies baked by themselves to the new neighbors as a sign of goodwill. Irving's mother used to do this.
The weather was bad, otherwise the housewives in the community would have sent cookies to the couple.
"Smith, come on, let me introduce it to you. Everyone, this is our new neighbor, Smith~~"
Feilong hugged a handsome guy and introduced him to everyone. The handsome guy named Smith also said in time: "You can call me John, this is my wife Jenny, and thank you Feilong~~"
It can be said that Feilong's party was held just for the new Mr. and Mrs. Smith, so that he could get to know other people in the community right away.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith smiled and greeted everyone, and everyone was very enthusiastic. However, when Jenny Smith's eyes met Owen, both of them were stunned for less than a second, and then continued to put on smiling faces, but
No one noticed that there was something different in their eyes.

Something has happened recently, so there may not be updates in the next few days. It may be intermittent. I would like to apologize to everyone in advance.
