Chapter 2922: Leisure Time (3)

~11 min read 2,127 words

As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, it couldn't help but take root and sprout, and it became clearer and clearer.

After all, Shiler was a Chinese in his previous life, and his love for land is innate. In fact, he really knows how to grow vegetables, but the situation in Gotham and New York before didn't allow him to show this part of his skills.

Shiler recalled that when he was in the research institute in his childhood, the door to the roof was always locked, and the cleaning lady also told him not to go up. At that time, he was wondering what was on the roof.

Of course, he had many terrifying assumptions, such as some strange laboratory on it, or an alien spaceship.

So one day he followed the dean. The old man opened the door to the roof with a hoe, and Shiler saw various plastic greenhouses on the roof, and the ridges planted were all vegetables. Not letting Shiler go up was actually afraid that he would pluck the vegetable seedlings.

Later, the dean found that Shiler was very interested in this mysterious vegetable field, and occasionally brought him up, telling him how to open ridges, how to build sheds, how to sow, fertilize, and water.

Shiler at that time still basically couldn't do anything, but he remembered all these things. Later, when he was a professor at the university, he also practiced in the agricultural college.

In fact, his vegetable growing technology was mediocre among Chinese people, belonging to the kind that could barely grow without dying, but it was considered half a professional farmer here. And because American mechanized agriculture was popularized too early, even many professional farmers no longer knew how to grow vegetables by hand.

I have to say, the agricultural conditions in the United States are really tempting. Shiler just took a look at the farm in the suburbs of the East Coast, and the large plains could see the endless sea of wheat even if they were just standing on a tractor.

Buying a farm has another advantage, that is, it is not a one-off deal. Although you have to pay taxes, the farm has output. The money earned is not to say that you are rich, but it is generally no problem to offset the tax, and according to the policies of different states, acquiring some poorly managed farms can also be tax-exempt.

This kind of rich social farm has been very popular in recent years, belonging to low input and high output, and there are many industries with incidental value.

The only troublesome thing is that it is a primary industry labor after all, and it is easy to have problems. Ordinary rich people entrust it to managers to manage it entirely. If Shiler doesn't hire professionals, he has to spend a lot of time on the operation of the farm.

Then Shiler thought, can the sanatorium and the farm be combined? As far as he knows, there are quite a few farms around the West Coast, not as big as the farms in the central region, but the climate and convenience are much better.

Thinking of this, Shiler took his mobile phone and opened the map of California, and then he found that there were just two farms for sale in the Moss Landing area, which were much larger than he imagined, but the price was also much more expensive than the central farms.

He looked at the map carefully and found that one of the farms was not far from the most famous 17-mile coastline. Just looking at the map, one could see that the natural scenery here was quite good.

California has unique natural conditions, and the rain and heat conditions are very suitable for the growth of various fruit trees. Coupled with the long coastline and beautiful natural scenery, many farms here are social tools for production and sightseeing.

Shiler wrote down the sales phone number. After getting off the flying shuttle, he found the place where he lived before according to his memory, knocked on the door, and found no response. He thought it might not have been rented out yet, so he flipped through the mailbox.

The invitation Stark sent him was indeed stuffed here. He didn't open it immediately to see, but put it in his coat pocket. After returning to the flying shuttle, he was sprayed with ribbons on his face as soon as he opened the invitation.

It is worthy of Stark, he must play some tricks on his invitation. Shiler looked carefully and found that it was indeed written to invite guests to go to the hotel in Los Angeles first on the 5th, and then go to Hollywood together to attend the wedding ceremony.

In fact, normally, the two of them can get the certificate first, and then hold a complex wedding, but in fact, for Stark and Pepper, getting the certificate is not simple. They have to do property notarization separately and sign a pile of contracts, so it was dragged until next month to become a real legal couple.

Shiler felt that he could take the opportunity to attend the wedding to investigate in California. If he could really buy a suitable farm, then it would be good to renovate it as a sanatorium.

And he happens to have a group of energetic teenagers here. They might not have any interest in building villas, but if it is said to renovate the farm, wouldn't they play crazy?

After returning to the nursing home, it happened to be lunchtime. As expected, none of the few who went out to play came back. It is estimated that they all ate outside.

An unexpected but reasonable person visited Arkham Sanatorium, and that was Stark with a child.

"You can take a look." He looked energetic and haggard at the same time, which was very consistent with the state of a novice father who loves children. Energetic because his daughter is really cute, haggard because it is indeed difficult to bring.

Shiler picked up little Morgan. A baby who just turned a month old really couldn't see anything, but Stark said excitedly on the side: "Look, her eyebrows and eyes are very like me, and her mouth and chin are like her mother, perfectly inheriting the advantages of both of us."

"I heard that there was a problem when giving birth."

"Oh, yes, because she is a lively and active little guy, she was about to be born, and she turned over in her stomach, causing the fetal position to be a bit incorrect. Fortunately, there was no danger."

"How is Pepper recovering?"

"The family doctor you introduced to me is simply great. Although the taste of that kind of herbal soup is very unpleasant, Pepper obviously feels very good. I think it is the feeling of being taken care of meticulously that makes her mood happy."

Shiler held little Morgan and shook her. Unexpectedly, she cried again. Stark reflexively took out milk powder and a milk bottle from under the stroller to make milk powder for little Morgan.

"Can't Pepper breastfeed?"

"Yes, I heard the doctor say that it seems that her lactation system has problems, and the milk is really too little. Fortunately, the formula of milk powder is already very good now. The doctor said there was no problem during the last physical examination."

Looking at Stark's skilled operation of making milk powder and testing the temperature, Shiler knew that he must have brought the child a lot during this period of time. Sure enough, Stark said triumphantly: "Since birth, the night milk has been fed by me. I think she will definitely call Dad first. What do you think?"

Shiler felt it was hanging, because the pronunciation of Mom is simpler, so most babies call Mom first.

As soon as the milk bottle was stuffed into her mouth, little Morgan really didn't cry. Shiler really saw a few shadows of Stark from this little face.

Putting the child back into the stroller, the little baby who finished eating soon became sleepy. Shiler hummed a few lullabies, and she slept straight with snot bubbles.

"It doesn't sound like the lullaby Pepper sang." Stark said softly, and then he hummed a few sentences, not the same tune as Shiler hummed.

"This is the Oriental version." Shiler said.

He stood up and took the printed map to Stark to see. The two came to the window and began to study the possibility of buying a farm.

Stark looked at the map and said: "I didn't expect you to chase the trend too. I heard that many people have been engaged in farm investment recently, but there are not many who really make money."

"Combining the farm and the sanatorium, what do you think?"

"The idea is not bad. Many rich people in big cities like natural scenery, but they feel that managing a farm is troublesome. If they can go to a farm sanatorium to live for a period of time, it will also increase a lot of social topics for them. The problem is, can you manage the farm well?"

"I am also thinking about this matter. Perhaps I have to hire a full-time manager."

At this time, Ultron's voice suddenly appeared, and he said: "Gentlemen, is there a possibility that I am the most versatile manager in the world?"

"Will you manage a farm?"

"Not yet... OK, I will."

"That's no problem." Shiler weighed the map in his hand and said: "The next step is the most important field visit and bargaining. How much do you think it is cost-effective to take it down?"

Stark thought for a while. He would subconsciously look left and right when thinking, but as soon as he turned his head to the left, he froze.

He turned his head back, rubbed his eyes, looked at Shiler and said: "Am I hallucinating? Why do I see little Morgan flying in the sky???"

Shiler turned his head and froze too. He turned back to look at Stark and said: "I don't think this is a hallucination, she seems to be really flying in the sky."

The two rushed up immediately. Shiler grabbed little Morgan who had flown more than two meters high, checked it, and found that there was no problem. She slept very soundly.

"I felt the power of magic." Stark said: "Could she have been hit by some magic curse?"

"It shouldn't be, wait a minute, could she have inherited your magic power?" Shiler asked.

"Where do I have any magic power... You don't mean the magic core, do you?"

Shiler gently put little Morgan back into the stroller, then covered the stroller's lid, and he said softly: "After all, you once ascended to the Steel Demon God, and you can no longer be considered a complete human being. The matter of soul ignition itself has some metaphysical mysteries. It is not strange that little Morgan inherited the magic power of the Steel Demon God."

"Oh my god." Stark said: "How should I explain it to Pepper? She is probably hard to accept that her daughter will have to be a superhero in the future."

"You must let her look away, because she has no superpowers, and she might want to be a superhero in the future. Now that she has superpowers, at least it is safer, isn't it?"

Stark was silent. He put his finger joints on his mouth to press his lips, and said vaguely: "We both hope that she can grow up safely."

"But you know this is not very likely. On the one hand, she is your eldest daughter and will definitely inherit the Stark Group in the future. On the other hand, almost all your friends are superheroes. When she grows up a little, she will also be in this circle. Do you think she will not want to inherit your mantle?"

Mentioning inheritance, Stark's eyes began to shine, as if he thought of something very wonderful, but soon he became a bit frustrated, and he said: "This is destined to be a difficult and dangerous road."

"But if you don't let her be a superhero, will she not encounter difficulties and dangers?" Shiler shook his head and said: "The life of ordinary people is not easy at all. Since she is destined to shoulder responsibilities, it is better to cultivate her well from childhood, so that she will be easier in the future."

"I will discuss it with Pepper. By the way, I haven't told you the details of the wedding yet. Help me see if there are any problems with these links..." ===== CHAPTER 2923 =====
