Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

   Chapter 203 Christmas Eve, Christmas

  Ever since Roland came to America, he never went to the grave of the original owner's parents to pay homage to him.

  There is no other reason, it is purely emotional, and I don’t know how to express the sadness that should belong to me.

  But he has always known that the Olsen couple will take time out every year to visit the grave on the day of their parents' death.

  Every time he came back, he could smell the strong smell of cigarettes from David's body. From this, it can be seen that the other party should have lighted a lot of cigarettes for his cheap dad.

  Perhaps it is this nearly ten-year-long commemoration that makes the Olsen couple take great care of Roland's behavior. As long as Roland is happy and can finally lead to happiness, the couple will be very satisfied. As for which line of work?

   It all depends on Roland's preference.

   Roland is not the Zhou Zhiruo who can stab Zhang Wuji ruthlessly on the top of the light. The concern of the couple for him impresses him deeply, and the reason why he brought Kate back may not be to reassure the two of them.

   He, Roland, is not just playing around.

   As for the names of Dad and Mom?

   To be honest, Roland felt that he had to ask himself why he was acting. Over the years, he had taken care of the company instead of him, and he didn't charge a penny. Even the security and assistant expenses were paid by the couple, which deserved it.

   And routine Kate?

   If it's a temporary idea, it's a routine, as long as the other party is happy, then Roland will admit it.

  Although Roland didn't know why the Olsen couple entered the house a few beats behind, he also laughed when he saw the open door.

  ...

   "Roland!!!"

"You are finally back!!!"

After entering the house, Roland was greeted by the little guys. First, Elizabeth ran over wearing slippers and bumped into the arms of Roland who was squatting down. Then Roland got up and hugged him. A game of spinning high and high.

Amidst Elizabeth's giggles, Roland put her down, followed by Ashley and Mary. After the two little guys kissed Roland's left and right cheeks, they covered Roland's ears and whispered After saying something, following their words, Roland also turned his attention to James who came last.

  At the same time as he got up, he opened his arms and hugged each other, "Long time no see, James..."

   "You look very slim now..."

"but…"

   "I don't think many girls like you, right? After all... you have a lot of homework?"

   Hearing what he said, James, who was still smiling, looked embarrassed, and Fang was no different from Dayao.

   This is really a question of which pot to open and which pot to carry. He was worried about the fact that he would not be able to have a girlfriend if he lost weight. He didn't expect Roland to blow his mind as soon as he came back.

  In order not to let Roland continue to sprinkle salt on his wounds, James directly changed the subject, looked at Kate who was standing aside and smiled, and asked knowingly: "Hey, Roland, she is..."

  ‘Your level of changing the subject is not very good. '

   Roland smiled lightly. Just as he was about to introduce Kate to everyone, Elizabeth, who had already crawled beside Kate, raised her head and asked, "Are you Roland's girlfriend Kate that mom said?"

   It's not unusual for Elizabeth to ask such a question, because David had previously acted as Roland's press spokesperson, disclosing the relationship between the two parties to the public.

  Since David knew it well, why would Ganetti explain it to the children at home?

  However, during the explanation, she also made it clear that the relationship between Roland and Kate should not be spread indiscriminately, otherwise, the things they like will be gone.

  But Kate doesn't know this!

  So, when Elizabeth asked openly, she was a little confused, but what really made her speechless was Elizabeth's next question.

   "Mom told me that you will allow Roland to build me a zoo, is this true?"

  What?

   Building a zoo?

   What the **** is this?

  Kate looked confused.

   After hearing these words, Roland walked up to Kate and patted her on the shoulder twice, and Kate, who got the hint, squatted down with Roland.

  Elizabeth, who was looking up, also retracted the long neck of the wax goose, and looked curiously at the beautiful young lady who was in close contact with her.

"She's Elizabeth, you can call her Liqi, she was interested in small animals when our family went out before, so I promised her that when she was ten years old, I would build her a zoo, the kind that could keep whales... "

   Roland said it so clearly, Kate would be an idiot if she still couldn't understand, "Oh, Lizzie, how could I stop him from doing such a thing?"

   "Actually, I also like small animals."

   “I also like riding horses.”

   "Really?" Elizabeth's eyes lit up when she heard what Kate said.

   "Of course!" Kate nodded vigorously.

"yeah!"

After all, Elizabeth was only seven years old, so after receiving an affirmative answer, she excitedly smacked Kate on the cheek, and as she ran to her parents, Roland also introduced other people to Kate, "Ashley, Mary, they're very recognizable, aren't they?"

   "Of course, the little girl of the American people." Kate stretched out her hand and brushed her hair, "Hello."

   Facing Kate's friendly greeting, the two nearly eleven-year-old children were not afraid of strangers, and gave a big hug to save face.

   As for James?

   Before Roland could speak, Kate, after two rounds of friendly probing, answered first: "This is your brother James? His greatest hobby is reading?"

have to…

   James, who managed to smile, stretched his face again in an instant, and said mournfully: "Yes, yes, I am James. I love reading, and reading loves me..."

   In fact, Kate's previous worries were completely unnecessary. Roland is the bully of the Olsen family. As long as he says it's okay, no one will exclude Kate.

Calling parents before entering the house, kissing, hugging and saying hello three times after entering the house, all restraints on Kate's body disappeared. After greeting everyone, she remembered to give a gift, and when she was confused, she wanted to return. When he got it in the car, he just turned his head, and Roland, who didn't know when he ran out, had already dragged the box into the house.

   "Kate prepared a gift for you!"

   "Everyone has it, everyone has it!"

   "There are too many things, so I dragged them directly under the Christmas tree! But you have to open them tomorrow! No one is allowed to sneak downstairs to find gifts tonight!"

  Such words made the little friends excited, and the big friends smiled again and again.

  Looking at the two big boxes like a hill, a bunch of people expressed their thanks to Kate.

   "Oh, Kate, in fact, one serving per person is enough, there is no need to buy so many, you will spoil the children." Ganetti smiled.

   "They already have enough toys. If you add so much to them every time, I think we'll have to change houses soon." David put his hands on his hips, and although he was full of complaints, he looked very happy.

  The little guys couldn’t close their eyes around the presents. Not only that, Roland’s prohibition order was like a cat’s paw, which made their hearts itch, and they kept asking what Kate bought.

  Looking at the scene where a group of people were guessing around the Christmas tree, Kate pursed her lips, her eyes were naturally empty, and the corners of her eyes were a little moist...

  When Roland, who had finished coaxing the child, saw the blurred figure standing aside, he walked over and embraced him from behind, put his chin on Kate's shoulder, and whispered, "Do you miss home?"

  Kate blew her nose and said with a slightly crying voice: "If this is a home, then I don't have a home..."

  “No one ever told me to build a zoo for me…”

   "No one ever told me that if there are too many toys, I have to change the house decoration..."

  “No one ever told me that children will be spoiled…”

  “And I’ve never seen a scene where a group of people wait under the Christmas tree for the moment to unwrap presents…”

   "They live like angels, and I..."

   Rubbed Kate's neck with his nose, Roland stopped her from continuing, "You are also an angel..."

   "Your parents must love you..."

  “But many times, in order to raise children better, the time spent with them will be replaced by things that earn money.”

  “Not everyone can achieve financial freedom, and not everyone can enjoy life while achieving financial freedom…”

   "David and Ganetti belonged to the former and chose the latter, while I..."

   “My goal has always been to make movies a hobby of life, not a whole life…”

  Hearing these words, Kate kept a straight face and didn't speak, but her body trembled.

   At this moment, Ganetti's call came from the restaurant.

   "You two, what are you still doing standing there?"

   "Come and eat!"

   "When you are finished eating, you can go back to the next door and go straight there. If you have anything to say, can you go back and talk about it? Or, do you have any little secrets that you would like to share with us?"

   While she was talking, the three sisters who hadn't served the table were lying on the aisle between the dining room and the living room, looking at the two neatly.

  That look, if you wear a cowboy hat, you can directly cosplay the cute cat Three Musketeers!

  Chi Guoguo's words and staring gaze made Kate's cheeks flush, but Roland generously pulled her into the restaurant.

   "It's on the table, it's on the table."

   "You three, return to your seats and sit down!"

  ...

  Christmas Eve dinner is actually very common.

   At least for these guys who can eat whatever they want, that's the case.

  However, isn’t this meal just an atmosphere?

  After the table, after a few chats, everyone became acquainted, and with Ganetti's deliberate guidance, the topics at the table were all the children's childhood embarrassments.

  Why Roland and James were digging out an ant nest in the yard, but when the adults went, the two of them had changed their game and competed in the yard to eat dirt;

  Why did Roland and James make a bet that whoever tastes the dog food first will be the eldest brother, but Roland directly tricked his parents into raising a Samoyed at home;

  When Roland helped look after the children, Elizabeth peed all over him...

  In short, Roland, who was personable and valiant from the outside world, was beaten as a mortal during this meal, so that when he took Kate back to the next door, Kate, who heard a lot of childhood shit, still couldn't stop laughing.

   "I didn't expect you to eat dog food?"

"I have no idea…"

   "Have you ever wanted to artificially fertilize your lawn?"

   "Don't say it... I really never did it..."

   "What about playing hide and seek in the trash can and falling asleep?"

   "Kate, if you're repeating this, I swear, I'll keep you out of bed this year."

  Special code!

  Why should he be responsible for the stupid things done by the original owner of the body?

   The more Roland thought about it, the more angry he became!

  However, the inability to get out of bed did not happen that night. After entering Roland's house and drinking some red wine, Kate, whose cheeks were red, was attracted by the arrangement that had never changed.

  The wedding photos of the Allen couple caught her eyes, which fascinated her.

  After pestering Roland all night about his childhood memory, the next Christmas, the family didn't go anywhere, and all made preparations for dinner.

   Cook and eat by yourself, although the appearance of each dish is not good, but the meaning is in place.

   During the rest of the next five days, since there was no set goal, everyone walked around. Although everyone is familiar with the various attractions, everyone still had a good time.

   During the festival, there are also corresponding greetings.

  Jews don't celebrate Christmas, but Roland's friends are not only Jews.

   When the one-week vacation was coming to an end, when Roland and Kate were preparing to return to the crew for the last 60 days of filming the shipwreck scene, on the night of December 30, David suddenly came to Roland's house.

  At the same time, a pile of documents also fell on the desk.

   "Annual annual summary, don't try to escape."

   "It doesn't matter if I help you take care of the group's affairs, but you have to listen to the group's annual report, right?"

   While speaking, he also glanced at Kate who was helping Roland organize things in the study. After their eyes met, Kate did not lift her foot, but turned her gaze to Roland.

   "You want to hear?" Roland spoke bluntly.

   "Hmm." Kate didn't hesitate.

"Then sit down, the third chair from the left." Roland pointed to a rose gold recliner and said, "If I remember correctly, when I was young, my mother liked to lean there and pretend to sleep, listening to David and My dad is talking about business."

  Hearing this, David, who was still looking at Kate, looked away, looked down at the document, and then smiled and said: "Yes, your mother doesn't care, but she likes to listen."

   “She felt more engaged that way.”

"And your dad doesn't like to cover up, he has always believed that you will never know which will come first, the accident or tomorrow, so your mother knows the distribution of all property, and when the accident comes, she can get out of the sadness as soon as possible and take you Go on living well."

  Although the topic was a bit sad, Kate sat up with a smile on her face.

   Nothing else, just because this is Roland's mother's exclusive seat.

   Yes, she does want an Oscar.

  But the regret of not winning an Oscar is actually just a way of expressing unfulfilled dreams.

  It is impossible for a person to have only one dream in his life. The so-called trade-offs are actually related to the importance of the dream.

   Now...

  Picking up the thin blanket to cover her lower abdomen, she was making a choice.

   When she sat down, David, who had been looking at the documents, raised his head, looked at Roland leaning behind the desk, and Kate leaning on the recliner, staring at Roland's back. He couldn't help but took a deep breath.

'alike. '

While feeling emotional in his heart, he also said: "First of all, the first project is Berkshire Hathaway. Since you hold more than 1% of the shares, you are an important shareholder of the shareholders' meeting, so Warren Buffett will , I have sent you an invitation to the company's annual meeting."

  poof...

   Kate, who was still enjoying the beautiful moment staring at Roland's back, heard this, and her eyes were instantly bigger than a copper bell!

etc!

   What did you just say?

Warren Buffett?

   Berkshire Hathaway?

  It turns out that what Roland said before can witness more than Buffett, is it true? ? ?
