Chapter 53 Planning for Retirement
“You might get two medals this time.”
Zoe gave it to him while sucking on the Jack’s Love Noodles that she hadn’t eaten for a long time. A surprise was revealed.
"Everyone involved in the operation will receive a collective excellence award from the General Administration. They are still discussing whether to award you a separate police star."
Say Jack no The surprise must be fake. Although the police star is just an internal medal of the LAPD, it is comparable to a helicopter in the promotion channel. If he can really win this honor, his police resume will undoubtedly be plated. A layer of dazzling gold.
Seeing her little man looking at her with an moved face, Zoe quickly waved her hand and explained: "Don't look at me like that. Although I voted in favor, the first person to propose it was Chief Superintendent Randy McPherson."
Jack was a little confused. The Chief Superintendent and he had never met each other before. How could he be paid attention to by such a big shot?
Zoe covered her mouth and chuckled: "Don't you know how many eyes were on you after you registered the python revolver at the police station?"
Seeing that he still had a confused expression on his face, Zoe continued to explain: "The Chief Superintendent is one of Detective Rick Hunter's friends back then. He paid for the custom-made python. Uncle Hunter My uncle has served in the LAPD for nearly 40 years, and many big shots in the police department have been favored by him."
"As the main planner of this subversion of the [Southern Front], the name Jack Tavole has already been revealed. You have come into the sight of many high-ranking people. Last night, the chiefs of the Robbery and Homicide Division and the Metropolitan Division were asking me about your situation."
"Oh, and Hondo seems to be interested in you too. In his words, his team needs a newcomer who is better at using brains than muscles."
Jack opened his mouth in surprise, Unexpectedly, he, who was troubled by human society in his previous life, would actually benefit from it in this world. It is true that things in the world are unpredictable, and the big intestine wraps up the small intestine.
"It seems that I need to formally invite Uncle and Aunt Hunter again, but before that, should I thank Superintendent Anderson first?"
As Jack said, He picked up Zoe in the air and walked into the bathroom amidst her exclamations.
Well, I bought the three-meter-wide bed correctly, but the bathroom at home seems to need to be renovated. The old double bathtub is really difficult for three people to sleep in.
After seeing off the two dazzling beauties in the evening, Jack, who was busy with housework, always had a smile of fascination on his face. He didn't wake up until Hannah's video call came in.
“Hi, Ginny, how are you doing lately?” Hannah smiled so happily in the video that even her forehead lines appeared.
Jack sneered: "Humph, there are still 149 days left. I will count the days every day waiting for you to come back, and prepare a big surprise for you then."
Hannah Curling their lips to show that they didn't care about Jack's threat, the two chatted for a while, mainly about the specific process of yesterday's raid.
Actually, Jack is scratching his head about this matter. His original purpose was to use this plan to extract Zoe who may be in danger. Whether it can succeed or not is not important. I didn’t expect the black-faced police superintendent’s acting skills to be so good. Okay, I just fooled that [King Midas] into lameness.
Things got bigger and bigger later on, and they even provoked the accountant assassin. Fortunately, the FBI took over the subsequent trouble.
For the Wilshire Bureau, whether the [Southern Front] will cause any trouble due to the fight for territory after the disintegration, that is the work of the Anti-Crime and Anti-Narcotics Division, which can be regarded as the most basic level. Patrol officers have one of the few benefits, they do not need to bear too many responsibilities.
After hanging up the video with Hannah, Jack just finished cleaning up the house and started his daily exercise time.
He has gained a lot recently. Let’s not mention yesterday’s gains. His unremitting study and exercise have also increased his attribute values. His current mental power has increased to 23, and his physical fitness has increased to 22. The weight has increased again, and his figure has not changed at all, but his weight has increased to 90 kilograms. He doesn't know where the extra weight goes. Jack suspects that his bone density may have been enhanced.
Now the backyard of the new home has been installed with some simple fitness equipment and two wooden dummies. Jack has also cultivated a small vegetable patch and spread it with mulch.
Although Los Angeles has a Mediterranean climate and is mild throughout the year, it is December after all, and the temperature at night is still a bit low. He does not expect to have any big harvest, so he planted some onions, ginger, garlic, For things like water spinach, lettuce, and cherry tomatoes, it’s like brushing up on planting skills and experience.
There are too many rules here in the United States. The lawn in front of the house must be taken care of regularly, and vegetables cannot be planted randomly. Otherwise, neighbors who look down upon them may report them and cause trouble.
But the backyard is not a big problem. Jack planted a circle of fruit trees not far from the courtyard wall, including lychees, apples, loquats, oranges, and grapefruits.
He even planted two mulberry trees, of course not to raise silkworms, but in anticipation of eating mulberries. The black circle in his mouth after eating the mulberries was one of the best memories of his childhood.
"Jack, you are only 22 years old, why do I think you have already planned your retirement life."
The next day, John, who came to help renovate the kitchen, looked at the mulch film and fruit saplings he was tossing in the backyard. I couldn't help but be stunned.
“I just find some hobbies for myself. My dream retirement life is to have my own small farm where I can plant some fruit trees, have a small pond where I can fish, and raise a few cows and two horses. .”
John curled his lips, speechless for a friend at this age who could be his son.
However, after a busy day, Jack felt something was wrong. Mr. John Nolan, the former construction contractor, seemed to be slightly above the entry-level level in carpentry.
Obviously, he is good at reading drawings and pointing fingers, but his practical ability is only about the same as his own.
“Why do I feel like I’ve found myself an overseer instead of a helper?” Jack looked suspicious of life.
John replied with a smile: "After I had my own team, I seldom worked in person, and more often bargained with others."
Seeing Jack's eyes look a little confused, He continued to explain.
“For example, I need to explain to a single mother of four that the kitchen renovation is delayed because the tiles haven’t arrived, or convince the bank to give me a week to come up with a loan.”

"So when we first met the suspect taking hostages, you chose to try to persuade him instead of shooting him in the head?" Jack suddenly realized.
"Well, actually I wanted to take advantage of him and shoot him in the leg." John tried his best to show his respect.
The recommendations from the starting point in the past two days are very strong, and the data is good. If you don’t mind it, please keep reading. I want to try to see if I can hit Sanjiang, thank you!
