Blackstone Code Chapter 806: A lot of luck
The bell rang early the next morning.
A postman at the post office pushes a trolley outside the yard, along with community workers.
"What are these?", Lynch got up early to finish the morning exercise, he picked up the top box and glanced at it.
"To the one you love the most..."
It has Lynch's name on it, and the sender's name, Penny.
Lynch suddenly thought of something. Although the Commonwealth did not have the custom of "New Year's greetings", they would also give each other things to express their affection.
The farther places will send the New Year's gifts in advance, and the closer ones, such as those in the same city, will be sent in advance on the last day of last year to ensure that the things can be delivered to people on January 1st hands.
Of course, it is also a good choice to deliver gifts to your door by yourself, but there will be very few people who can visit, so most people choose to let the post office and postman help them.
Penny still didn't leave Bu Payne, she could have delivered things by herself, but she still passed the postman.
In addition to Penny's, there's Katherine's, there's Vera's, and a lot of all the individuals or businesses that have a relationship with Lynch.
Sometimes being a "big guy" is also an interesting thing. Regardless of the busy work and other issues, just receiving various gifts during the holidays can also make people feel physically and mentally happy.
After asking the postman to deliver all these things into the room, Lynch took apart some of the gifts sent by the girls, most of which were wrapped small cakes, mostly biscuits.
The price is not high, but... there is still some value. After all, the word "handmade" is always given a lot of special meanings.
In the process of unpacking the "blind box", Lynch discovered a very interesting phenomenon. Those who are not very rich always send some "affectionate" items, almost all of which are handmade.
For example, Vera's children gave Lynch a painting of mother and son and Lynch, three people standing on the grass.
You can say that this painting is worthless, but it is so valuable that you can't even buy it with money.
Those who have achieved financial freedom will send some delicate gifts, such as tie clips, cufflinks, belt wallets and the like.
At nine o'clock, the family was up, and after everyone had a hearty breakfast, Sera said goodbye.
On the one hand, she didn't want to see Nell dangling in front of her with two girls, and on the other hand, she and Coleman did have a plan.
"We're going to spend the winter in the south, and we'll wait until the end of the month or next month before returning to Sabine. It depends on when the weather gets warmer..." Sera's current outfits are very sophisticated. She and her The relationship between those rich women and wives is getting better and better.
Of course, this also has something to do with Lynch's growing influence. Lynch even heard about a store opening and invited Sera to attend the opening ceremony, and gave Sera some fees for this.
This time I went to the south for the winter, not by Sarah alone, nor by her friends.
Life is so interesting. Three years ago, Serra wouldn't even think about going to a warm place in the south to spend the winter. Now it sounds like she's talking about something too small.
Lynch nodded, knowing this, and then he looked at Nell.
"Do you have any plans for today?" Nell asked this question first.
The Federation takes a day off on January 1 every year. He plans to take the two girls out for a walk, but he has to take care of Lynch's thoughts.
As a parent, Nell is not as common as Serra when it comes to his attitude towards Lynch.
Lynch thought for a while, "I'm going to Mr. President's house in the afternoon for a party, you know, a New Year's party."
Coman, who was sitting on the side reading the newspaper, suddenly raised his head and looked at Lynch. Only by really touching the life of such a big man can he feel the difference in this life.
When Mr. President invited Lynch to a party, the kind of shock that can only appear in or in the movie happened around him, the shock was really indescribable.
He wanted to go too, but Sera gave him a sidelong glance, and he could only bow his head again.
Nell breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I won't bother you, I'll go around, I don't know when the next time will be."
After the conversation was over, everyone left the table. Lynch took Sera's hand and took her to the gate of the community. Her ticket was for the afternoon.
"If you have anything, call me anytime." Lynch advised.
Sierra did not refuse, "Don't worry, I will."
Lynch hugged Sera, and then watched Koeman busily serve Sera into the car, he suddenly felt a little funny.
This kind of funny content may make people feel a little disrespectful, because at this time Lynch is thinking about the relationship between Sierra and Koeman, who are they playing who?
After a while, Nell also took the two girls out the door, leaving only Lynch, a few maids and his temporary housekeeper in the whole house.
Lynch originally wanted to find Katherine, but then gave up the idea after thinking about it.
Last night Catherine attended a very important event and Lynch even saw her on TV.
The federal folk may not pay much attention to the night of December 31st, but for the church, the last day of the year is obviously very meaningful.
There are many reasons why Ms. Tracy did not leave in Bu Payne, one of the most important reasons was to attend the New Year's Eve ceremony at Bu Payne Holy Cathedral.
They will pray together around the patriarch, perform religious services together, sing together, and enter the new year under the watchful eye of God.
There are three sacred cathedrals in the Federation. This "sacred" is not a name, but a title similar to an official rank, which also indicates that this is one of the highest-spec churches.
On this day the patriarchs and important religious figures of the pastoral areas of the central empire will gather in the Holy Cathedral, and from eight o'clock in the evening, ceremonies of religious significance will begin until the arrival of the new year.
There are many believers in the Federation, and it is impossible for everyone to participate in the live broadcast, so many people participate in the way of live broadcast - even live broadcast preaching has been accepted by people, this way of watching live broadcast in the living room to participate in religious activities also accepted by the faithful.
After all, God is holy and almighty. There is no difference between attending a ceremony in a church and attending a ceremony in a living room for the Holy and Almighty God.
This also means that at least 20 million people watched the religious New Year's Eve celebration in the Holy Cathedral of Bu Paine last night.
Ms. Tracy's uncle is one of the patriarchs of the central region, and his status can be said to be a high-ranking person. Naturally, he is one of the main hosts.
As the Patriarch's niece, Ms. Tracy is naturally qualified to stand at the forefront, and Catherine, as the link between Ms. Tracy and Lynch, is also qualified to stand by Ms. Tracy.
The impact that more than 20 million people have been able to see for four or five hours is absolutely unprecedented, and this opportunity is also very rare.
The ceremony continued until midnight. Catherine should still be resting. Going at this time will disturb her rest. She has to work tomorrow.
This appearance will be of great help to her future career in politics. Politics and religion are always inseparable.
After thinking about it, Lynch decided to go out for a walk, wander around casually, and buy a suitable gift for the evening party.
January 1st Bu Paine is not as leisurely as January 1st elsewhere, and the people here are still busy.
Maybe the holidays will temporarily stop work, but money won't.
As long as the money does not stop, there will naturally be those who run after the money, and those who are chased by the money.
Lynch wandered around and ate a scones at noon to fool him. In the afternoon, he arrived at Mr. President's house at the agreed time.
It's home, not where he lives.
Mr. President has a relatively secluded big house in the suburbs of Bupen. When he was not the president, he would come back to live every day. When he becomes the president, he must live in the presidential palace.
Naturally, it is impossible for this party to be held in the Presidential Palace. At that time, maybe some media will make a big news about "The President's Party Live", and the venue will be held in his own home.
After the identity verification, Lynch's car was allowed to enter, Austin was left in the house, and Lynch followed the housekeeper to the garden behind the house.
It is said that it is a garden, but it is not entirely. In addition to the huge garden and grass, there is also a small golf course and a huge artificial lake.
It is said that not long after Mr. President paid the down payment to buy the house, the developer responsible for developing the residence had a problem.
They had to stop selling after they had just built the community's facilities, including several miniature golf courses and a man-made lake.
It seems that the specific construction plan they implemented is different from the project plan they declared, and it also involves some funding issues.
In the end, the project was shelved indefinitely. As for the houses that have been sold, according to federal law, the federal government has no right to take it back, so it can only remain in a stalemate.
Later, the developer was involved in a series of lawsuits, and so far there has been no result~IndoMTL.com~ This has also led to the fact that the project has not been unblocked until now.
Mr. President has repeatedly proposed to fulfill his obligation to buy a house and hand over the remaining house payment to the developer, but because the developer's bank was all frozen, his idea failed.
He can only continue to pay after all the lawsuits are over.
Mr. President moved in without spending any money, and also enjoyed perfect supporting services - this is the developer's obligation, and he must fulfill his service obligations for the house that has been sold.
There are not many lucky people like Mr. President. There are only a few people. The houses they bought are far apart. If they don't take the initiative to disturb each other, they are unlikely to meet each other in their lifetime.
Except occasionally when fishing on the lake, I would say hello from a distance, and most of the time, everyone would not meet.
Some people say that this is a transfer of interests. Some capitalists have invaded a large area of land through secret methods and built this paradise-like place for a few people.
It's just that these speculations lack evidence, and in the end, they can only be let go. It can only be said that Mr. President's luck is really good!
By the way, Mr. President was a senator before running for president...
Of course, his status at the time had nothing to do with whether he could buy such a house, it was purely his luck.
That's all.
After all, the Federation is a fair and just country. Everyone obeys the law and respects the law!
