Here in the White House, when a new commander-in-chief moves in, it will usually be renovated.

Most of the time, the hostess takes charge of the decoration.

All expenses incurred will also be reimbursed.

Basically, for each session, some adjustments will be made based on your own preferences.

In fact, the first lady mainly lives here.

After all, the commander-in-chief is so busy, running around the country all day long, and often has to go abroad.

It’s hard to find time to go on vacation during the year, but it’s impossible to stay here.

So basically every commander-in-chief may not have lived here for more than a year in total.

Only the First Lady can only stay here unless she has special tasks.

George has been in office for nine months.

The total time he has lived here may not even be a month.

George's wife has lived here for at least seven months.

So in a sense, this is actually more of a residence for the First Lady.

The place where Mrs. George received Abel and others was in the First Lady's living room.

It is also the largest living room in the second-floor living area.

Its name is "The First Lady's Living Room."

Facing her relatives, Ms. Wales warmly invited everyone over.

After asking the three of them, none of them had eaten at noon.

"This George, he only cares about his country's affairs now! Sorry, dear Abel, little Laura, and Neil."

"It's our fault to make you hungry! I'll have people prepare food right now!"

Ms. Wales's tone is friendly, and her appearance and manner of doing things are very similar to George's husband and wife.

She arranged for people to prepare food, which was always her task in this palace-like house.

Strictly speaking, Lady Wales is here, except as a mascot for her husband.

She only has two real jobs, one of which is to manage the kitchen in the white house.

It's the one that really manages it.

Not only the food for her own family, but also the food for the state personnel working here and even the state banquet.

Speaking of state banquets, Abel had already had one last time.

After eating that time, Abel felt that the food here was very good.

What's so great about it?

The great thing is that it is shabby.

Maybe they are afraid that reporters will be picky, because one of the favorite jobs of American newspaper practitioners is to take aim at the family in the white house.

This makes every family living here want to avoid getting a bad reputation for eating.

Just make the state banquet look shabby.

Like the state banquet that Abel had last time, all dishes were served in small tables, on par with French cuisine.

The taste is good but the quantity is small. Make the recipes according to the people who are visiting, and be sure to include each other's specialties to show friendship.

The portion was so small that Abel was not full at all.

He even gave him most of little Laura's portion, but she wasn't full.

Of course, this has something to do with his food intake.

He is a big eater. If a normal person eats, he will probably be 70% to 80% full.

In addition to the kitchen, there is also a vegetable garden managed by the first lady.

The vegetable garden is in the courtyard on the left, and it was there very early.

It is commonly known as the First Lady’s vegetable garden, or the White House vegetable garden.

It is said that it was designed by Hoover's wife during the Great Depression.

You must know that when he took office, Mr. Hoover promised that every American family would always have a chicken in the kitchen and a car in the yard.

The result was the other way around.

At that time, the couple made a lot of efforts to maintain their image and save votes.

Among them is the practice of creating a vegetable garden in a white house to grow your own vegetables.

In fact, it is of course impossible for Ms. Wales to go to this vegetable garden in person.

She can't do this either.

Usually this vegetable garden is usually maintained by specialized people.

But the First Lady occasionally needs to use this to show off, usually when the unemployment rate is high, the economy is in a downturn, etc. It is a symbolic thing, but the dishes inside are genuine and must be pollution-free.

Many times, the vegetables served at state banquets are usually collected here.

These are all after Abel saw the vegetable garden during the tour just now.

What Neil told him.

Little Laura still smiled and said to Abel.

When she was a child, she lived here with her grandparents.

She often plucks radishes from the vegetable garden and feeds her pet rabbits.

Then her little rabbit had diarrhea while eating, and then died.

Later, the veterinarian told her that rabbits cannot actually eat too many radishes.

If you eat too much, you may have diarrhea, and if you have too much diarrhea, you may die.

In the First Lady's living room.

Ms. Wales personally arranged for the staff to prepare the food and deliver it.

Jenna and Barbara, who were both at home today, entertained Abel and the three of them inside with a smile.

We all know each other well and are all relatives. Even Abel himself is regarded as a relative by them.

Naturally, there were no taboos in talking, and the main conversation was between little Laura and her two cousins.

They talked about things that little girls like, nothing more than cosmetics, clothes and the like.

Abel found it boring, so he ran to the side, looked at the various murals hanging on the walls, and started painting.

Neil Bush saw him doing this. This cheap father-in-law didn't bother to listen to his niece and daughter's girl talk.

He ran over to join in the fun with Abel.

"I remember that you seem to be very good at painting?" Neil Bush said: "The work you painted for little Laura is so precious to her. It is placed in the room and no one is allowed to see it."

"Dad!" Little Laura shouted over there, "I'm here!"

"Did I make a mistake? Jenna, Barbara, did I make a mistake?"

"Haha~ No. I haven't even seen it, and she won't show it to me!" Barbara said with a smile.

Jenna actually said: "I've seen it, and the painting is very good. It doesn't seem to be a traditional type, it looks a bit like the charm of Eastern works!"

Abel turned around and asked Jenna with a smile: "Do you still understand this?"

Barbara said next to her: "She originally studied humanities management in college, but for some reason last year, she changed it to art. She obviously has no artistic talent at all."

"Appreciate! Appreciate! I have already said that I am cultivating my ability to appreciate art!" Jenna said dissatisfiedly, and while speaking, she peeked at Abel.

Abel noticed her gaze.

He always felt that this topic was weird and would develop in a bad direction.

He decisively turned his head and continued to look at the paintings hanging on the wall of the living room.

Abel found that there were many paintings hanging here, but most of them were ordinary.

Perhaps he was aware of Abel's confusion, or perhaps Neil Bush, who was waiting to eat, was also bored.

Abel’s father-in-law said softly:

"The paintings on this can be changed at will. The White House has its own collection of paintings. If you really want to, you can borrow the ones you like from the museum to hang, but you have to return them after you leave office, and they want to display them.

You can’t object if you come and get it.”

"Of course, you can also hang your own paintings. It's up to you. Anyway, the paintings belong to you. You can donate them or take them away after you leave office."

"Oh, that's it." Abel nodded, no wonder the paintings on it were all ordinary.

The guys who live here must have tried their best to get rid of the extraordinary ones.
