I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 411 Grace’s current favorability is 100
There is only Uncle Loya's clinic in the town of Ellot, which has a simple operating room and a few beds in the infusion room.

These beds are usually used to lay down some weak patients with saline water. At this time, they were slightly modified and a few simple monitoring equipment were added, turning it into a hospital bed.

The patient was operated on by Zhou Qiao in the square. After the operation, he still needed to be "hospitalized for observation" for a few days and needed some medicine, so he was arranged in Uncle Luo Ya's clinic.

As for subsequent chemotherapy, it can also be performed in the clinic.

There is no way, the free clinic team will leave soon, and the free clinic team does not have any hospital beds.

The patient was lying on the hospital bed, feeling that he was in good condition and comforting his family not to worry.

Because they run this clinic, Uncle Luo Ya's family is actually quite popular in the town, and they manage other affairs of the town very smoothly.

After all, no one would offend the only doctor in the town.

Even the former Mayor Kevin had a good relationship with Uncle Loya's family before he sold the town.

Only bullies like Kissi don't open their eyes. Then he was shot to death by Loya.

Loya was running for governor, and she also passed by the small town of Ellot, where she came to give speeches and canvass votes. The happiest and most excited person was Garnett.

It can be said that it is a model of being close to the people.

When Luo Ya travels, she has at least a hundred bodyguards, both overt and covert, and all of them are special forces soldiers with first-rate skills. Within a two-kilometer range, it is very difficult for a sniper to sneak in.

Although two or three years have passed since Kissi was shot to death by Loya, people still mention it from time to time and talk about it happily after dinner.

Zhou Qiao doesn't care if it's another state in the United States, but this is the state his wife will govern in the future. Zhou Qiao doesn't want those messy things. It just so happens that after some communication, Luo Ya thinks so too.

In addition to giving speeches and canvassing votes, Luo Ya also used her thoughts.

Among the male contestants, there are defense lawyers, business owners, talk show hosts, executives in the automobile industry, masters in psychology, retired Navy captains... various professions, most of which are not worth mentioning.

The other party believes that the legalization of marijuana will create a taxable industry worth more than one billion dollars and can effectively promote the Texas economy.

It's not that it's faster than a bullet, but it's that you can predict the direction of the bullet in advance so you can avoid it.

The other is a philanthropist in the Houston area. However, the other does not appear to have an official campaign website or social media page. There is only a small amount of information showing that she graduated from Texas Christian University and received an MBA from UT in Arlington. The foundation in his name is a Christian organization that aims to "improve the world." This person is probably a Christian.

Even, military personnel are allowed to possess, use or consume any product containing marijuana.

Moreover, Luo Ya originally had a keen sense of combat and could sense danger in advance. Later, with Zhou Qiao's addition, she even "saw the cicada before the autumn wind moved".

However, Zhou Qiao felt that this person was a bit radical and wanted to completely sever ties with the federal government and seek income from other sources, including legalizing marijuana and casino gambling.

In addition to textiles, it is widely used in papermaking, food, medicine, health, daily chemicals, leather, automobiles, construction, decoration, packaging and other fields. It can be said that the whole body is a treasure.

Even at the East African base, Loya strictly prohibited the private use of marijuana.

Among the fourteen people, in addition to Loya, there are two female contestants, one of whom is a registered professional engineer and practicing attorney who has also served as a policy advisor to the Texas Public Utilities Commissioner for the past five years.

"What a mess..." After Zhou Qiao carefully studied these competitors, he looked at his "wife" and suddenly felt that his wife was "astonishing". Compared with her, these people were not on the same level at all. superior.

Unlike some other politicians who are just formalistic and superficial, except for making big pie, in fact they don’t understand the grassroots at all.

The mother of four children couldn't help but be concerned about running for office.

Even, can dodge bullets.

For professionals, it’s easy to tell who’s suspicious at a glance.

But now, I am so busy with this election that I have no choice but to let this matter become a matter of "their own family"?

Before Luo Ya goes to a place, she will check a large amount of local information in advance. When she arrives at the scene, she will also collect some intelligence and go into the homes of some residents to chat with them.

Zhou Qiao had never paid attention to domestic elections in the United States before. He didn't even care about the process of the presidential election. He only cared about who the final presidential winner was. As for the elections in the following states, he almost never paid attention to it.

Zhou Qiao not only helped Luo Ya to canvass votes, but also got to know several of her competitors, and privately discussed with Luo Ya who was the greater threat.

Industrial hemp is widely used. For example, the modified coating technology developed using ultra-fine powder ground from its stalk core is applied to military uniforms, which can bring out the high-strength and high-performance characteristics of the product.

Exceptions include medical marijuana and industrial hemp.

Zhou Qiao believes that Luo Ya, who has traveled all over Texas and knows Texas like the back of her hand, will be able to achieve outstanding results when she takes the position in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qiao admired Luo Ya's far-sightedness more and more, not sparing any small town or city, even some remote areas. It turned out that this was also the meaning.

It is said that it is a lecture tour, canvassing, and free clinic, but it is actually the same as traveling around.

Loya's childhood playmate Garnett Hughes is still working as a police officer in this small town. Due to the increase in the number of people in the town, the mayor recruited a new police officer to serve as Garnett's subordinate.

Of course, although Luo Ya has great martial virtues, she will not assassinate the opponent. If others want to assassinate her, they probably don't have the ability.

Anyway, I do business during the day and all kinds of entertainment at night.

At night, Zhou Qiao greeted everyone and held a bonfire party in the square. The goose was roasted on the spot, and the aroma wafted far and wide.

He didn't have the slightest bit of envy or jealousy, only endless admiration. He told everyone he met that the future governor was his former good friend. When he was bullied before, Luo Ya helped him out.

The other side's slogan is to promote reliable power in Texas while supporting Texas oil and gas, developing high-tech industries and protecting farmers and ranchers from drought and hurricanes.

Speaking of which, there are quite a few competitors. There are eight people in the Republican camp and another six in the Democratic camp. However, Texas is a stronghold of the Republican Party, and it is basically impossible for the Democratic Party to make a comeback.

Garnett raised a lot of geese, and this time, he caught a lot and gave them to the charity team.

Although Garnett is "silly" and not fierce enough, the residents of the town like this guy very much.

Zhou Qiao believes that the only person who poses a threat is one of the old men. Although he has not held a political seat for ten years, he is quite prestigious in the Republican Party. This time he "reappeared" and moved around, gaining the support of many people.

Industrial hemp is different from drug marijuana. It is hemp with a THC content of less than 0.3%. China also has cultivation bases and calls it hemp.

Loya has grown a large amount of industrial hemp in East Africa, and its subsidiary has been listed in the United States. The concept of industrial hemp once set off a craze on Wall Street.

"My wife, you are the best!" In the evening, Zhou Qiao and Luo Ya hugged each other and flattered each other. Those who want to legalize the drug marijuana for recreational use are too small.

"Who is your wife? We are not married!" Luo Ya curled her lips.

"Still talking back? Let's see how I punish you!" Zhou Qiao laughed strangely and started to attack.

So what, punishing the future governor, that feeling... Zhou Qiao suddenly felt that he was too evil.

Although Luo Ya spoke harshly and pretended to resist, her body was very honest.

"Actually, I fell in love with you the first time I saw you." Luo Ya said. Zhou Qiao: "Me too. I always thought you were very special at that time."

"Haha, otherwise how could we have such a tacit understanding...together."

Recalling the scene when the two met, I couldn't help but smile knowingly, and an extremely warm atmosphere filled the room.

"The children can already call mom and dad. Please spend more time with them this Christmas." Luo Ya requested.

"Hmm, I need to prepare stockings and gifts." Zhou Qiao also misses his four little babies very much. They have been together less and more apart, and they don't care much, and he can't help but feel ashamed in his heart.

……

Loya and Zhou Qiao visited some major cities and regions in Texas, and returned to the winery on the day before Christmas to accompany their four little babies.

As Christmas and New Year are approaching, the huge manor is full of festive atmosphere.

In addition to Luo Ya's grandmother, the four babies are cared for by a nursing and early education team of dozens of people. Therefore, even if Luo Ya and Zhou Qiao are not here, there is no need to worry about the food, daily life and education of the four babies.

This is the benefit of having money.

Luo Ya followed Zhou Qiao's suggestion and installed a large number of surveillance cameras in the activity area of ​​the four babies. In fact, no one would dare to make small moves if they were not installed, but it would be more of a deterrent if installed.

This manor is Loya's hometown in Texas, and the security measures are in place. Many confidants live around the manor, and in their spare time, they help with grape harvesting and wine making.

For the guards, participating in brewing is a very meaningful thing and full of fun.

Texas is the fifth largest wine-producing base in the United States, with nearly 400 wineries located in every corner of the state. It is also known as "the top ten wine tasting destinations in the world."

The Lone Star State’s fine wines have won numerous awards in major wine competitions around the world. Loya’s wine estate is planted with Cabernet Sauvignon trees that are more than 14 years old. They are made from single varieties, not blended wines. , a high-quality red wine produced with an alcohol content of %, tight tannins, a rich wine structure, and a unique aroma, with the aroma of coconut milk, and rich aromas of black currant, black pepper, and chocolate. When you drink it in your mouth, The silky smooth texture is unparalleled.

In terms of aging, it is aged in oak barrels for 16 months alone, 40% of which are new barrels, and 60% of which are old barrels. Except for a small amount of fine wines that are kept for personal use, most of them are handed over to Xueqiao for selection and sold to the Chinese market.

Since there are no middlemen to make profit, the prices are very affordable. After many fans purchased it, the feedback was very good, and it has become a flagship product and the most popular series of Xue Qiao Selection.

In addition to this wine estate, Loya has also acquired eight other wine estates in Texas and California to cope with the growing demand in the Chinese market.

It is worth mentioning that wine grapes and fruit grapes are not the same thing, and the varieties are completely different.

Wine grapes have smaller fruit bodies, thicker skins, and more sour taste, making them difficult to eat on their own.

However, the sugar content in wine grapes is higher. The reason why they are not as sweet as fruit grapes is because the strong flavor, fruit acid and tannins cover up the sweetness.

Zhou Qiao spent Christmas with Luo Ya and her four babies. It's very rare that six people sleep in one room.

Luo Ya's extra-large luxurious bedroom is more than enough for four children's beds.

……

Grace returned to Boston and reunited with her parents.

Dr. Albert asked Grace about her recent work and was extremely surprised.

"You've even had orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, and tumor surgery?"

Grace raised her eyebrows and said, "How about it? Is it much better than at Massachusetts General Hospital? Moreover, Zhou Qiao's salary for me is higher than that at your place!"

Grace later followed Chiba Nanako and participated in several tumor surgeries. In one of them, she was the sole surgeon, and the results were pretty good. Grace feels quite accomplished.

Dr. Albert: "..." Suddenly, I felt like my daughter had grown up and they would part ways in the future.

For so many years, his daughter has been by his side, under the protection of his wings, and I still feel a little disappointed when I think about it.

Grace's mother laughed: "Hey guy, Grace wasn't independent before. You were worried every day. Now that Grace can fly alone, you are sad again. Do you think you are looking for unhappiness?"

Dr. Albert shrugged and smiled to himself.

No matter what, he was very happy to see his daughter really grow up.

After Christmas and New Year, Grace couldn't wait to return to Iris Clinic because she felt that Zhou Qiao was coming back.

She looked forward to meeting Zhou Qiao again.

Zhou Qiao was indeed preparing to go back home. The free clinic in Texas had come to an end and he was going back to Iris Clinic to do his own business.

As for Luo Ya, it wasn't a big problem. Luo Ya asked him to go back and wait for good news.

The twin girls also returned to Iris Clinic.

When Zhou Qiao arrived, six girls, including Elena, Ava, Murphy, Stephanie, Nanako Chiba, and Grace, greeted him. The feeling was so...so...uneasy.

There is a feeling of guilty conscience. After all, Zhou Qiao is a serious person. He is used to being baptized by "monogamy" in China. He has not yet adapted to dating so many beauties at the same time. He is always worried that one day the harem will catch fire.

The moment he saw Grace, in Zhou Qiao's mind, the long-lost system issued a prompt: "Grace's current favorability is 100!"

Zhou Qiao: "..."

Why is this only a hundred? Wasn't it still very low before, below 10?

Zhou Qiao distributed souvenirs purchased from China, France and Texas to everyone.

What was given to Grace was a cultural and creative bracelet produced by the Forbidden City, Golden Branch and Jade Rabbit, which was quite beautiful. And it's real gold and white jade, the real deal.

The gift given to Stephanie was a pair of Chaozhu bluetooth headphones, made of southern red and chicken oil yellow old wax. After wearing them, listening to music and writing, it feels like a memorial, which is super cool. And then there is a necklace.

What was given to Elena and Ava were several new sets of horse-faced skirts and Hanfu, and what was given to Murphy was a Forbidden City folding fan and an exquisite bag.

Chiba Nanako wears a set of sexy silk pajamas and a set of well-known French brand cosmetics.

Since Zhou Qiao came back, in order to welcome Grace to join, the postponed welcome dinner was finally arranged.

Not only these six girls, but also other members of the clinic, three doctors, Rachel, Vivica, and Jenard, three nurses, Park Soo-joo, Kim Hee-jin, and Zhang Mongjing, plus some family members, such as Chiba Ryukin and Park Yoona. , Rachel's granddaughter, Vivica's little grandson, Ariel and a few black girls from the laundry, etc., nearly thirty people, lively, booked a large private room in Tang Yunxuan, and set up three tables table.

Zhou Qiao treated everyone to a luxurious Chinese meal, the kind that cost almost US$500 per person, with abalone, salmon, tuna, king crab, Dungeness crab, caviar...all kinds of precious ingredients.

Since most of the people were driving, and Murphy and Stephanie were pregnant, except for a few black girls drinking, others only drank scented tea, freshly squeezed juice, etc.

It was the first time that so many people had Chinese food together, and Grace felt quite strange.

In fact, for everyone else in the clinic, they have eaten Chinese food here many times, but for Grace, who comes from the east, this is really the first time.
