Chapter 849 Two babies are here too
His job is to write, and before returning to China, he must complete the seventh part of "Harry Potter" and end the series completely.
Besides, there is one more thing to do.
After the summer vacation, my twins will come to the United States to play, and Ruirui has already contacted high schools to attend San Francisco Art High School.
San Francisco High School for the Arts is located in the Lands End area of northwest San Francisco. It is a famous private art high school in California. The school was founded in 1893 and was originally a single-girls school. In 1970 the school became a co-educational arts boarding high school.
The school provides internationally renowned art and academic courses, such as music, painting, dance, drama, drama, etc.
At the beginning of the year, Ruirui passed the TOEFL exam and obtained the admission qualification.
Although there are better art schools in the United States, such as Walnut Hill Art High School, Interlochen Art High School, Idywild Art High School, etc., they are all far away from San Francisco.
Living in San Francisco, you can go back to Li Li's house to live on weekends, which makes Fang Minghua and his wife feel relieved.
Obviously, the villa where Li Li lives now is a bit small, so Fang Minghua decided to buy a new manor villa in San Francisco.
Fang Minghua doesn’t need to find this job by himself. He will handle it well if it is left to Phillips.
Just three days later, Phillips brought over three residential information, and Fang Minghua took his fancy on a manor called Feroli in Pacific Heights.
Pacific Heights is a gathering place for celebrities in downtown San Francisco. U.S. Representative Nancy Pelosi, Oracle co-founder and CEO Ellison, and Apple design director Ive all live here. here.
This manor covers an area of 18 acres. It is much smaller than Amber Mountain Manor, but it has a beautiful environment. It has swimming pools, tennis courts, and a small lake. The lakeside is covered with Li Li's favorite plants. lavender.
The main building is a two-story Edwardian style building, but after renovation by the original owner, the original style was retained and modern fashion elements were added, making it warm and full of personality.
The building has seven full bedrooms, two kitchens, three rooftop terraces, living room, and study room.
Standing on the platform, you can see the sea in the distance.
There is a two-story building not far away. Like Amber Manor, it is mainly used for manor workers, various equipment, and garages.
However, there are fewer workers here than in Amber Manor, 7 in total.
The total asking price of the manor is 11 million US dollars.
Fang Minghua didn't let Phillips bargain much. He only had one request: to get the villa and move into it before the children came to the United States!
As for curtains, carpets, etc., she will decide after Li Li comes back.
"Li Li's name is still written on the real estate certificate." Fang Minghua did not forget to remind him.
In early July, Li Li came back from Germany and was very happy to see her new home. Although it is farther from school than my original home, the environment is indeed much better.
Especially that lake, surrounded by lavender, it is a wonderful feeling to get up in the morning and read and walk along it.
Only the baby daughter Xinxin is unhappy because she will transfer to another school next semester and will not be able to see her good friend Jim.
The little girl was sad for several days, but she was soon overtaken by a happy thing, because her brother and sister came to San Francisco!
Of course she had to follow her parents to the airport to greet them.
"Brother Lele, sister Ruirui"
The little girl saw the two boys and girls coming out of the safe passage and ran over excitedly.
Fang Minghua and Li Li also hurriedly followed.
Eudi Shenna
We haven’t seen each other for more than a year, and both babies have changed!
Ruirui has grown taller again, and more importantly, she is no longer as thin as a hemp stick before, but has the roundness and slimness of a girl.
My son has changed even more. He is now as tall as his sister, and he is no longer as chubby as before. His face has become much thinner, his Adam's apple is prominent, and he has become more manly.
"Sister," Ruirui picked up the little girl and of course did not forget to greet the adults.
“Dad, auntie.”
The son was still shy and called out.
Why did this sound become so unpleasant? Like a male duck quacking?
Oh, now is the voice-changing period.
After picking up the two children and driving home, Li Li immediately arranged a room for two people and helped make the bed.
Fang Le was very interested in an Apple computer placed in his room and turned it on eagerly. But Fang Rui quietly ran to Li Li and asked in a low voice:
"Auntie?"
"Huh?"
"Should I call you aunt now, or baby mom?"
"Ah? You know everything?" Li Li was surprised.
"Of course, my mother told us before she left that Xinxin is my father and your daughter."
"Then, Ruirui, you and Lele won't blame me, right? ?”
“No way? That’s between my parents and you, I don’t care.”
Li Li let out a long breath. The child is getting older and sooner or later he will know the relationship between them. It seems that there is no need to worry.
After moving into Feroli Manor, Fang Minghua and Li Li started their summer vacation with their three children.
Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown, and of course all kinds of food.
After that, we took a plane to Los Angeles to continue our tour, but this time Li Li did not go. Fang Minghua went alone with his three children.
Of course we have to stay at Amber Manor at night.
The two children couldn't help but marvel when they saw that this manor was larger than the one in San Francisco.
"Brother and sister, dad also has a ranch in Miami. It is bigger than here. There are many horses in it. You can ride horses."
The little girl started to show off in front of them again. stand up.
“Dad, I’m going to ride a horse!” Ruirui shouted immediately.
"Okay, after we finish in Los Angeles, our next stop is Miami!" Fang Minghua said.
After playing in Los Angeles for four days, everyone took a plane to Miami, where they played for another three days to satisfy several children's horse riding requirements. Then the next stop was Washington, D.C., and finally New York.
According to the plan, after having enough fun in New York, the one-month vacation is almost over, and they will take a plane back to San Francisco. Fang Minghua will return to China with his son Fang Le, while Fang Rui will stay in San Francisco to go to school.
Today, Fang Minghua and his three children were visiting Times Square.
In the 1980s, Times Square declined for a time due to urban renewal and commercial transformation. Many theaters and stores closed, and unemployment and crime rates rose sharply. People at the time generally believed that Times Square was in decline.
However, in the late nineties, Times Square experienced a stunning renaissance. The city government has invested heavily in improving the surrounding environment, attracting many well-known companies and tourists to invest and visit. Times Square has gradually returned to its former glory.
With the endless flow of people and cars and the dazzling LED screens, there is no difference between day and night.
Standing at the six-way intersection, Fang Rui looked at the surrounding scene and couldn't help but ask:
"Dad, this is Times Square, known as the crossroads of the world? Why is it so small?" "
"I checked the information online and found that Times Square is only 0.8 square kilometers, which is certainly small." It was his son Fang Le who spoke in an angry voice.
“It can’t be compared with Tiananmen Square, it’s worse than the People’s Square in Shanghai.” Fang Rui pouted.
Fang Minghua held his daughter Xinxin's little hand and couldn't help but sigh while listening to the children's conversation.
Times have indeed changed.
When the country was just opening up in the 1980s, countless Chinese came to the United States and stood in Times Square looking at this prosperous world. They were so envious and looked up to.
Just like Meng Xiaojun in "Partners in China".
But as the new generation grows up, as the motherland becomes increasingly powerful, their vision is naturally different, and they begin to view the world with equal eyes.
While everyone was talking, they started walking along the street. At this moment, a procession suddenly appeared not far ahead, walking towards them in a mighty manner.
