Section 1 Arriving in the United States

In April, Jiangnan City is full of spring, with many famous people living here and many tourists on the streets.

At ten o'clock in the morning, a knock came from outside the door, and Zhang Yi brought a blond and blue-eyed ocean horse into the living room.

"Mr. Zhang Yi, please come to the United States as soon as possible to take over Mr. Zhang Wu's Close Farm. I will fly back to the United States in the afternoon. Goodbye."

Leave this sentence and a file bag, and a lawyer who works as an official lawyer, Meilin Brown, left the Zhang family.

Zhang Yi wiped his face and opened the file bag. It contained a will agreement that Zhang Yi had signed his name before.

The great-grandfather Zhang Wu, who had never masked, came to the American continent in the year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the United States had not yet established a country.

According to his last words, an agreement is required to inherit his farm to inherit him. The content of this agreement is not much. The first is to unconditionally accept the ancestral rules and teachings of the Zhang family.

There is also a handwritten copy of the Zhang family's ancestral rules and teachings.

There are two other passports, two visas in the document bag, and two air tickets to Seattle, USA in seven days.

"Why are two books?"

Because Zhang Yi had a sister, they lived alone, and when they remembered their parents who left to save the child who fell into the water, they felt a burst of heartache.

"There are seven days left." Zhang Yi left home, came to the unit, and went straight to the manager's office.

Zhang Yi's parents are from Jiangnan Province. He himself grew up in Jiangnan. He has not graduated from university and works in a local hotel business department.

Hotel administrative office.

Seeing Zhang Yi walk over, two female colleagues with high performance whispered in a low voice, "Zhang Yi's performance was at the bottom last month, and this month was average again. There are rumors that he would be fired."

"I heard about it, too..."

The two of them whispered.

"Bang bang"

"Please come in." A voice came from inside, and Zhang Yi pushed open the door.

"Manager Li is my resignation report and you signed it." Zhang Yi put the resignation letter on the table in front of him.

He didn't answer and asked in confusion, "Did you hear any rumors? I can tell you for sure that you will not be fired, so take the resignation letter back."

Zhang Yi was moved. Although he didn't communicate much with this boss, he did take good care of himself in the past.

"Manager Li, it's not because of work, but..." Zhang Yi briefly said about his going to the United States.

"This is a good thing." After hearing this, Li Lin smiled and signed his name on the paper.

"The normal salary will not be paid until next month to the card, but you are about to go abroad. I'll try to see if you can get the financial department to pay your salary in the past two days."

There are still many good people in the world, Zhang Yi thanked him repeatedly.

After leaving the unit, Zhang Yi came to his sister's kindergarten.

Yes, due to the influence of the second child policy, Zhang Yi and his younger sister Zhang Qi are 16 years apart, Zhang Qi is 6 years old this year, and Zhang Yi is 22 years old this year

The kindergarten teacher and the principal were also surprised to hear that Zhang Yi was going to drop out of school for Zhang Qi. They thought that Zhang Yi had encountered something that could not be overcome, and they all wanted to help him. Zhang Yi was moved and grateful, and explained the reason again, which made the teacher feel at ease.

After dealing with her sister's affairs, Zhang Yiqiu came down and felt that all this was so unrealistic. Although Meilin Brown acted like a successful person, it would be best if she could confirm it.

Thinking of Han Dayuan, the good brother who slept on his upper bunk, he once said that a relative worked in the Chinese Consulate in Washington, USA, and Zhang Yibo called Han Dayuan.

"Brother, please ask two relatives in the United States, Washington State, Everett, Dabairo Town, one is called Zhang Wu and the other is called Meilin Brown."

"Okay, I'll ask my third uncle what these two people have to do with you." Han Dayuan responded with ease.

"Zhang Wu claims to be my great-grandfather, and Meilin Brown is his lawyer."

"I'll try it, but there are so many Chinese in the United States that may not be able to find it."

Soon, just half a day passed, and Han Dayuan received a reply.

I don’t know if I don’t ask, but both of them are quite famous, at least they can be checked online.

According to Han Dayuan's relatives, Zhang Wu is a well-known Chinese in the local area.

Meilin Brown, there are more rumors online. A top student at Yale Law School was only sixteen when he entered the school, which was once a sensation. He was only nineteen years old this year.

Moreover, the surname Brown seems to be a bit awesome in Canada.

Zhang Yi was relieved when he learned about this information.

When dealing with chores, the most worried thing is grandma and grandfather. The two old men are in their seventies and are in good health. In order not to worry, they use the excuse of the company sending themselves to the United States on business trips and allowing them to take their families, and they will take Xiaoqi with them.

This made the two old men appease.

Seven days later, Zhang Yi held Zhang Qi, who was only six years old, dragged a trolley case and hit him to Hangzhou Airport forty kilometers away.

As soon as I arrived outside the airport, I saw Han Dayuan standing at the entrance.

"How come you come here in Dayuan?"

Han Dayuan smiled and said, "I don't know when my brother-in-law will be back now. I'll see my wife."

"Go to you!" Zhang Yi kicked him, and Han Dayuan avoided sideways.

The play was noisy, and Han Dayuan refused to leave as he boarded the plane.

Zhang Yi is introverted and is also a slow-tempered person who makes friends. He has not many friends. After three years of college, he gets along well with classmates in his class. He has also become good friends with the other three people in the dormitory. Because he is only fifty kilometers apart from the city where Han Dayuan lives, the two communicate more.

Why was it in my third year of college? Because of the family changes in the second half of my junior year, Zhang Yi took a break from school and went home while working and taking care of his children. After the changes, Zhang Yi has a much calmer personality.

Looking at Zhang Yi holding his sister into the security gate from afar, Han Dayuan said silently, "I wish you good luck, my good brother."

This is the first time Zhang Yi took a plane. Meilin bought a ticket. After transferring to Beijing, he flew directly to Seattle Takma International Airport. The ticket price is 12,000!

Because it was night, floor lamps were on at the airport, bright but not dazzling.

There are constant take-off and landing of aircraft, and large aircraft are shut down on the apron, which is impact vision.

The brother and sister were riding Delta Air Lines Boeing 767, with blue and red patterns and dtlta logos painted on the fuselage. Zhang Yi didn't understand what it meant, and of course he didn't want to understand it.

The closer you get, the more you can feel its hugeness. The smooth body covers the entire pupil. This plane with a total length of nearly 70 meters and a wingspan of more than 60 meters is handsome and cool, which makes the brother and sister very excited.

The flight attendant was guided by the boarding plane, and the brother and sister did not make any jokes. The flight attendant of Delta Airlines was naturally blonde and blue-eyed. Although Zhang Yi was silent, he was also a pure straight man. He seized the opportunity to appreciate it in time.

Zhang Yi's seat was close to the window, and his sister Xiaoqi sat next to him. After the plane took off, you could see that the scenery was not visible normally. When he was in a daze, he felt that his clothes were being pulled.

"Brother, I want to see outside too." Sister Xiaoqi said cutely.

"Okay, but you have to wait a while, the plane is still climbing now."

When the plane takes off, the flight attendants are also fixed in their seats.

"Okay." Xiaoqi replied obediently.

After the plane entered the stratosphere, the flight was smooth. Zhang Yi and Xiao Qi changed seats to satisfy her curiosity.

However, this flight was long enough, including the Beijing transfer time for a total of 17 hours in the sky. Fortunately, there were food and drinks during the period.

Perhaps because the environment was unfamiliar, Xiaoqi did not cry or say bored throughout the whole process.

When the plane arrived at Seattle Takma Airport, it was still night because of the jet difference. After getting off the plane, the brother and sister followed the crowd out.

The moment they left the plane, both brother and sister were shocked. The brilliant Milky Way hung in the sky, and the stars like gems are covered with the sky, emitting soft light. They stretched out their hands as if they were within reach.

This is the starry sky. Zhang Yi's childhood memory was also like this.

At that time, there was no air conditioning or fan in summer, so the family spread the mat in the yard and looked up at the starry sky. The deepest memory was that the starry sky was bright at night, and you could see satellites turning around the earth, flashing.

How many years have you been? This deepest memory in my heart has been touched today.

A burst of coldness came, and Zhang suddenly hugged his sister tightly in his arms. When he first arrived in a strange place, he was a little nervous.

The address is in your pocket. After getting off the plane in Seattle, it is still a hundred kilometers away from the destination town of Dabairo.

Just as Zhang Yi was about to stop a taxi, a pink Audi was parked in front of him.

"Mr. Zhang Yi, please get in the car." Meilin suddenly appeared and took the initiative to put the suitcase in the trunk. Looking at her, Zhang Yi was a little confused and did not expect that she would come to pick her up.

Seattle is still a little cold in April. Meilin is wearing cropped jeans, a long-sleeved T-shirt, and white flat shoes, looking invincible.

After putting down her luggage, Meilin noticed the little girl Zhang Yi was holding. When Meilin arrived at Zhang's family before, Xiaoqi was in kindergarten. This was the first time she saw Xiaoqi. She screamed excitedly, but was also overwhelmed by the cute and cute Xiaoqi.

"Zhang, is this your sister? It's so cute." He pinched Xiaoqi's arm, completely forgot that her car was stuck at the exit. It was not until the rear that the car flu suddenly realized and drove away.

Zhang Yi held Xiaoqi in the back row, looking at the traffic in the car window, feeling confused, and for a moment he didn't believe that he had arrived at the other end of the earth.

The car was driving on the road, and it became faster and faster, running like a monster car, rushing like lightning.

Because of the average English language, Zhang Yi and Meilin did not chat. Xiao Qi was always excited on the plane. At this time, he slowly fell asleep in Zhang Yi's arms.

There are few Americans, Seattle is considered a megacity, but its population is less than five million. The lights in the city are still bright. After half an hour, it is estimated that it will be recorded on the road in a field. Except for the headlights, it is pitch black outside.

There was little traffic, so the car drove very quickly. After about an hour and a half, the car stopped outside a one-meter-high bluestone fence gate. Meilin got out of the car and pushed open the squeaking iron fence gate.

After the door was opened, the car started again. At this time, Zhang Yi looked at the time and it was already twelve o'clock in the night.

After driving about four or five hundred meters, the car stopped. Zhang Yi held Zhang Qi out of the car, and his saliva wet his arms. Meilin helped to move the suitcase.

Looking up at the ancient bluestone building, the heavy historical atmosphere rushed towards me.
Chapter completed!
