Chapter 1461 (1/2)
The new year is coming.
Rockefeller central square is also covered with flowers.
People are jubilant walking on the street, shopping for new year's supplies.
It's just that Li Zitao's family is no longer in the apartment. They decide to spend the winter in the warmer south.
It was also before the beginning of the journey that Li Zitao realized that Laomei also had a cellar.
Most southerners have cellars in their homes, but they prefer to call them underground storage rooms.
”Ah ~”
looking at the tall and powerful oak trees on both sides of the road, like a tall, burly, eternal guard giant, Mary gave a happy cry.
She hasn't felt so comfortable for a long time, and this decision is undoubtedly the right one.
This time, they went to New Orleans for a holiday. In addition to the weather and environmental factors, they also came to see the new manor.
Oak manor, located 17 kilometers away from New Orleans, is the site of the popular ”gone with the wind” in the United States.
Oak manor has a glorious history, which has been passed down for four generations.
From the owner of the first sugarcane plantation to taking over the land from his brother-in-law, he built this solemn and unique luxury manor.
Later, he died early because of illness, and his wife was not good at management, so the manor was heavily in debt.
It was not easy to wait for a capable and ambitious airport man, but the civil war began.
The young heir was forced to go to war, and when the war was over, he lost everything, except the manor, which was almost robbed by runaway slaves.
Knowing that his mother and sister had both died at the hands of slaves and suffered humiliation before their death, he could no longer bear the blow and was never recovered.
The family died miserably, the greatest wealth, slaves and plantations ran, destroyed and destroyed, their own pain and suffering.
Helpless, can only take out the manor auction.
Twenty five years later, a couple took over the estate and built it as a landscape.
The huge renovation, the introduction of modern kitchen and water pumping system, seems to be the same as before, the manor actually had a major operation.
Originally, it was very difficult for Li Zitao to buy this manor again.
Unfortunately, the couple had no children.
They had planned to set up a non-profit foundation and leave the estate to the foundation.
During this period, the two met Mary, and she was very interested in the manor in gone with the wind.
Finally, the two sides reached an agreement on the purchase of the manor by Mary.
And they can spend their comfortable old age with the money and do whatever they want.
If they still want to set up a foundation and devote themselves to charity, Mary will be happy to help them.
”These oaks are so beautiful. They have been around for more than two centuries.”
Standing under the huge old oak tree, Mary looked up and said, ”I can't imagine how surprised the owner who planted them would have seen it!”
”More than 200 years, not long.” ”If you like, we can plant some more,” Li said quietly
”In the next century, people will sigh for it.”
Speaking of this, Li Zitao suddenly remembered a joke. Burying an Ultraman in the soil will become a century problem for archaeologists all over the world.
”These old oaks are rare. Don't destroy them.” Mary said angrily.
”All right.” Since she said so, Li Zitao was no longer reluctant.
