After seeing Miller off, Zhang Chi forgot about the wine.
After a few days, all Zhang Chi had to prepare was to pick up his parents, grandparents, and sister's family. When the agreed time came, Zhang Chi headed to Los Angeles.
Melika did not go with her due to health reasons, so Zhang Chi rushed to Los Angeles alone.
When he arrived in Los Angeles, Zhang Chi first went to the hotel where the driver would stay tonight. At this time, the RV driver and the RV were already on the road. They would arrive at four or five o'clock in the afternoon. Zhang Chi was a step ahead and took care of things here.
Arranged properly.
The family's plane arrived in the afternoon, and brothers Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu wanted to stay with Zhang Chi's grandparents and parents for one night, and they refused to let the family go directly from Los Angeles to Fulin.
What does hospitality mean?
This is it. There is no other way, so Zhang Chi's grandfather said: Don't chill the child's heart!
So the family decided to spend one night in Los Angeles and set off from Los Angeles to Folsom early the next morning.
Zhang Chi had just finished arranging the driver's accommodation when he saw Brother Zhang Wen's Corvette sports car appearing at the door of the hotel. He just finished his work and walked out to greet it.
"sister in law!"
Zhang Chi saw Zheng Huai parking the car, so he smiled and shouted.
Now the two of them have received their certificates, which means that Zhang Wen and Zheng Huai are now a legal couple. However, according to our Chinese habits, the two have not served wine yet, so the marriage is not officially completed. As for Zhang Chi
The marriage between the two of them was called a straw.
The time for the two to serve wine was seven days later. Zhang Chi didn't know whether the lunar calendar in the United States was accurate. Anyway, it was a good day after seven days according to the almanac. The two were in Zhang Wen's hometown, which is Folsom.
When the small town holds a banquet, not only Zheng Huai's family, but also Zhang Chi's family can be present, so it should be quite lively.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Zhang Chi calling her sister-in-law.
When Zheng Huai saw Zhang Chi, he smiled and waved his hand: "Have your affairs been arranged properly? Your brother asked me to tell you that if not, he has friends here who own a hotel...".
"No, I've said hello," Zhang Chi replied with a smile, and then said, "Then where are we going now?"
There was nothing wrong with Zhang Chi's question, because Brother Zhang Wen had already changed his family, and everything was convenient when he was single. But after he got married, he thought a little too much, and moved out of his original luxurious flat.
We arrived at a small garden.
Another name is the wealthy community. The houses there are all huge, with each family having about ten rooms or more, and the front and back lawns are almost as big as a standard football field.
Not only is the house big, but the school district is also good, ranging from elementary school to high school. These schools in the entire Los Angeles area are ranked high. As for the tuition, it goes without saying. Private schools and in such a community, how can the fees be cheap?
.
Zhang Chi didn't know if the couple had moved there, so he casually asked whether they were going to the original flat floor or the current small manor.
"Let's go to our new home. Brother You said that place is not suitable now. It's crowded and mixed, and it's not as comfortable as the new home. When the time comes, it will be more convenient for my uncle and aunt to come and live..." Zheng Huai said.
Crowded and mixed?
Zhang Chi was a little speechless, yes! There are a lot of people in Los Angeles, but the place where you two live is so crowded and mixed that it doesn’t make sense.
How many families live in your building? There are probably not even thirty-four families living in a skyscraper with dozens of floors. With elevator access, you probably don’t even know what your neighbors look like after living here for several years. You said there are so many people?
And... hiss, the life of the rich is just like this... well, they value privacy!
"Get in the car. Your brother has something to do this morning. You know he is very busy when he says he is busy..." Zheng Huai said, opening the car door and sitting back.
Zhang Chi came to the passenger seat, opened the door, sat down and fastened his seat belt: "Where is Brother Xiao Wu?"
"How much better can he be? He probably won't even come during lunch time today. He said he would meet everyone at the airport this afternoon," Zheng Huai said.
Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu are really busy. Zhang Wen is not only a doctor, but also an investor in a medical company. He holds a patent in his hand. But if you want to make money, you have to be busy. So Zhang Wen is serious.
The eight classics are busy.
As for Zhang Wu, that guy is busy building relationships, busy eating, drinking and having fun. In American society, you have to flatter the people you need to flatter and lick the people you need to lick. There is no such thing as just sitting down together and drinking tea as equals to do business.
Once an agreement is reached, Party A is Party A and is always ahead of Party B.
So Zhang Wu was also busy, busy with eating, drinking, and doing other trivial things.
It seems now that Zhang Chi is the only one among the three who lives a leisurely life, ignoring anyone he wants to ignore. No matter how big an official is in front of him, he can ignore it.
Zhang Chi said yes, and then went to live with his sister-in-law in Brother Zhang Wen's new home.
The new home is in a satellite town in Los Angeles. It is said to be a satellite town but it is actually a gathering place for wealthy people. As soon as you enter the town, you will immediately feel a sense of arrogance.
There are no shops, no restaurants, and no random shops in the town. There is nothing else in the town except residents.
Each house occupies at least a few acres of land, which would be dozens of acres in China. If you think about a place with 20 or 30 acres of land, it is still the least. If a neighbor calls for help, you can’t even get a loudspeaker.
Not a sound could be heard.
There is only one main road in the town, which is straight and straight. Walking on the road feels like walking among the shades of green, like entering a green tunnel.
It's not easy to see the house from both sides, because there are fences on both sides, and the fences are full of plants. Through the gaps between the plants, you can vaguely see the corners of the building.
Sometimes you can hear children's laughter and dogs barking, but you can only hear their voices but not see them.
Walking on the road in wealthy areas in the United States is like walking into a ghost town. Not to mention people, not even a car can be seen.
After entering the gate of Brother Zhang Wen's new home, I looked around at the lawn. At the end of the lawn was a big house. Next to the house were several tall palm trees standing upright. It looked sparse, but it matched the houses next to it and looked very special.
Tasteful.
What does it taste like? It tastes like money, what else can it smell like.
With Melika's previous home as a foundation, Zhang Chi didn't look around like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden with an uninformed look like last time. Now his net worth has increased, and his taste has also increased accordingly.
It's a three-story mansion. In addition to the dining area on the first floor, there is a swimming pool and so on. This thing can be of some use to Brother Da Wen, but it would be a pity if it were given to Zhang Chi, because it can't be used a few times a year.
In addition to these, there is also a garage. Needless to say, there are seven or eight cars in Brother Dawen's garage, each of which is a modified antique car. When driven out, it has a unique gentlemanly style.
In short, if you have money, if you go out and drive this thing, everyone will know that you are rich.
"Come on, your bedroom is on the second floor! Go and take a rest first. You are tired after flying for so long."
Zheng Huai took Zhang Chi to the elevator entrance. There were only three floors in total and there were several elevators. Zhang Chi felt that the legs of rich people were so precious that they were not happy to walk even two steps. Instead, they spent a lot of time in the gym.
.
Following his sister-in-law to the guest room, Zhang Chi went in and took a look. Needless to say, the facilities were not as comfortable as those of hotels of several stars.
"You have worked hard on this journey. Take a rest. I will ask your brother to call you when he comes back later." Zheng Huai and Zhang Chi had nothing to talk about. They were a woman and a man and they were not very familiar with each other. They had to chat awkwardly.
It was not interesting, so Zheng Huai asked Zhang Chi to rest while she went to work on her own.
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law."
Zhang Chi sent Zheng Huai out of the room, then lay on the bed, took out his cell phone and reported to his wife that he was safe, telling her that he had arrived in Los Angeles successfully.
Every time he takes a plane, it is a journey of suffering for Zhang Chi. It is better not to mention the smell of white people and black people. He doesn't want to eat lunch after mentioning it.
If you meet someone who doesn't feel good, it's probably Zhang Chi's flight to celebrate the Chinese New Year.
Therefore, every plane trip had to strain the body and consume a lot of energy. So after Zhang Chi finished talking to his wife on the phone, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep after a while.
Vaguely, he felt someone pushing him. Zhang Chi opened his eyes and found Brother Zhang Wen standing next to his bed with a smile on his face.
"Brother Dawen!" Zhang Chi rubbed his eyes and sat up.
Zhang Wen saw Zhang Chi's appearance and asked with a smile: "Why, the plane ride is uncomfortable?"
"You don't know that if you are unlucky enough to sit in a car that smells like body odor, then... by the way, your work is done?"
Zhang Chi supported his body with his hands again, yawned and asked.
Zhang Wen smiled and said: "When you're done, get up, wash your face and eat."
After speaking, Zhang Wen patted his cousin on the shoulder and walked outside.
Zhang Chi stood up, went to the bathroom, poured water on his face, wiped away the water beads, and went downstairs.
When we got downstairs, the servants at home had already prepared the meal.
The food we ate was not Chinese food, but Mexican food. The servants hired by Brother Zhang Wen’s family were not Chinese, but a few female elders.
Zhang Chi had nothing to say, so he sat down to eat with Brother Dawen and his sister-in-law.
After eating and resting for a while, Zhang Wen and his wife went to the airport with Zhang Chi to pick them up. With three people and three cars, they were almost able to pick everyone up.
After arriving at the airport, Zhang Chi received a call from Brother Xiao Wu shortly after, saying that someone else had arrived and asked Zhang Chi to pick him up.
Zhang Chi followed Brother Xiao Wu's prompts to the place and took him into the waiting hall to meet Brother Zhang Wen and his wife. The group found a place to drink drinks and eat snacks while waiting for the car carrying Zhang Chi and his family.
Landing.
Ding dong!
Hearing the sound of a flight from China to Los Angeles about to land, Zhang Chi and others put down their things and walked towards the exit together.
