It was noon when he woke up, and Alexander had already left for Fort Worth to continue his great cause.

Abel had a meal with Emily and coaxed his mother for a while.

In the afternoon, his motorcade left Smith Farm directly.

The target is Houston.

Houston is located in Harris County, Texas, which is the third largest county in the United States.

At the same time, this city is also the largest city in Texas and the fourth largest city in the United States.

It's about two hundred and seventy miles from Smith's Farm.

At this distance, you can go to Fort Worth-Dallas Airport and take a direct flight to one of the three airports in Houston.

But he suddenly had an idea and wanted to see the scenery of Texas along the way.

Abel calculated the distance and found that it would only take about four hours by car.

If you can arrive before dark, just take the car and set off.

There were seven cars in total, including Abel and David Jones, as well as the bodyguard team.

The convoy of 21 people in total drove for more than four hours.

Before five o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at the largest city in Texas.

It is the largest economic center on the Gulf Coast, and the city is named after Sam Houston, the then general of the Republic of Texas.

Houston is world-famous for its energy (especially oil), aviation industry, and canals.

The Port of Houston is also the sixth largest port in the world and the busiest port in the United States. It ranks first in terms of foreign ship tonnage and ranks second regardless of nationality.

The Fortune 500 headquarters is second only to New York City, which shows the strength of Texas.

After arriving, Abel took the convoy directly to the River Oaks community in downtown Houston.

His grandfather, Alex Smith, and grandmother, Arya Smith, lived here.

This community is a high-end community in Houston, surrounded by small villas in the city center.

When the convoy arrives,

It's already half past five in the afternoon.

When Abel's motorcade stopped near the door of his residence, Alex's bodyguard was startled.

Abel asked Edward to negotiate, and soon Alex's bodyguard confirmed that it was Abel who was here.

After making sure it was safe, Abel got out of the car.

As soon as he got off the car, he walked inside and shouted:

"Dear Alex and Arya, my dear grandpa and grandma, your grandson is here!!"

With such a loud movement at the door, Alex and Arya had of course already received the report from the bodyguards.

The old couple came out with smiles on their faces.

When they came out, they saw Abel walking into the courtyard.

"Oh, here comes the little bastard. I hope you won't chop down your grandpa's tree this time!" Alex said happily.

"Haha~" Arya was also very happy to see her grandson arriving. "Jacques, don't always talk about this. Abel was still young at that time, and it was you who told the story."

What the old couple were talking about happened when Abel was about ten years old.

The Alexander family, come here to spend Christmas with my old father and mother.

On Christmas Eve night, a happy Alex told his grandson the story of the Falling Cherry Blossom God's Axe.

At that time, Abel took it seriously and ran up to chop down trees in the middle of the night.

As a result, he couldn't find a cherry tree, so he randomly picked one in the yard and chopped it down.

The next day, Alex and his wife saw their precious grandson pulling them to look at a small horticultural grade oak tree that had been brought into the living room.

Oh my God, that's the dwarf oak tree that Alex spent four thousand dollars to buy and plant.

What can Alex do?

Of course I forgive Abel.

It's just that this incident has been often used by the old guy to make fun of his grandson.

Faced with Alex’s teasing, Abel responded with a smile:

"Ha~ I heard from my mother that Grandpa, you planted a lot of black walnut trees. Since you said so, I'll see if they can withstand my Falling Cherry God Axe."

Alex suddenly changed his mind. He spent tens of thousands of dollars on this last year.

A few specially selected black walnut trees of good quality and horticultural grade.

It has been planted for almost a year and it looks very beautiful in the yard.

The old man usually likes to drink tea and read books down there, but he can’t let Abel chop him down.

Alex quickly changed the subject: "Ahem~ Okay, let's not mention these embarrassing things about your childhood. Come in. In addition, Anthony, go help Abel's entourage arrange parking and resting places."

Alex said the last sentence to his own bodyguard.

Anthony, the bodyguard whom Abel also knew, smiled and nodded and walked back.

Abel made a gesture to Edward and asked him to do it.

Abel himself went into the house with his grandparents.

This house was built in 1947.

It was built by Alexander's grandfather when Alex decided to retire at the age of 60.

The old couple came to live here.

They occasionally go to Dallas to live for a while, but they live here at least three-quarters of the year.

This is also considered the best house in the city for the Smith family.

Abel remembered that the house covered an area of ​​about 30,000 square feet.

The construction area is only over 5,000 square feet, and five-sixths of the land is devoted to courtyards, gardens, swimming pools, etc.

In addition, Houston has the most advanced medical technology in the United States and is the number one medical city in the world. It is a perfect place to retire here.

The old couple were obviously very happy about their grandson's arrival.

When Abel came in, he already saw some of the things he loved to eat when he was a child on the table in the living room.

Don't believe that story that when Americans turn 18, they will be kicked out by their parents and become self-reliant.

Americans gnaw at their old age just the same, and Americans dote on their children and grandchildren.

The elite class is even more so.

Those who really need to be self-reliant after turning eighteen are either low-class white people in the slums.

They really can't afford to raise or support their children.

Or it's Lao Mo and Lao Hei.

Lao Mo is okay, but generally he asks his children to go out and work hard early because they are not capable enough.

As for Lao Hei, not having a father is almost the common denominator among this group of people in the United States.

The family is not complete, and the family basically depends on the mother's work or welfare subsidies.

If you don't fight on your own, are you going to wait for death at home?

The Smith family clearly belonged to the elite, although not the upper echelon.

But it's not bad in Texas, and the population has always been very thin.

Alex has no brothers, and has one sister. Alexander has no brothers, and he doesn’t even have a sister.

Abel originally had an older brother, but he died at the age of two, and he had no other brothers or sisters.

For such an only child, all the love of the family was naturally devoted to him.

Perhaps that's why Abel's original obsession with other aspects was not deep.

But he is very stubborn when it comes to his relatives, parents and elders.

So much so that when Abel merged with his original soul, he completely took over this part.

This also makes Abel now have no grudge against the Alex couple and the Alexander couple.

What's more, he grew up in a heavenly dynasty where filial piety is the most important thing.

He also doesn’t think it’s wrong to be filial to your parents and elders and have a good relationship with your parents and elders.

So it was very harmonious.

He soon had a warm and pleasant chat with Alex and his wife, whom he had not seen for a long time.
