After a moment, Luke stood up with a strange look on his face: "Okay, Selina, feed all of this to it."
As he spoke, US Dollar's tail wagged even more happily.
Luke narrowed his eyes, took two steps back, and looked at the US dollar.
Now, it put its big head into the food bowl again and enjoyed the snack given by its little master.
Luke and Selina stayed at the ranch for the next half day.
It's rare for Drex to see Luke, and he's already showing off his skills as a rich man's Barbie Q.
Selina's father Marino also came over and greeted Luke before asking about US dollar.
He knew that his daughter treasured the old golden retriever that grew up with her.
However, looking at the lively and active dollar, Marino asked curiously, "It... It's very lively, more lively than usual, it doesn't look like it's sick, does it?"
Luke was helping Drex prepare barbecue at the open-air grill. Hearing this, he just shrugged, and Selina looked confused.
It was evening when Luke and Selina returned home with the packed barbecue.
Neither of them had been to the ranch in a long time, so Drex was so happy that he cooked too much barbecue.
The old man simply asked them to take everything home so that their family could also taste his cooking skills.
I sent Selena home first and gave her most of the barbecue.
She has many relatives in her family, so she can easily handle this huge pile of meat.
Only Robert has a good appetite on Luke's side. Catherine and Claire don't eat meat very well. Joseph's digestive function is not very good, so he can't eat too much of this. Just take some back as a token of his appreciation.
"Keep an eye on the US dollars and call me immediately if you have any questions." Luke reminded Selina.
Selina was stunned: "Is it really sick?" Her voice trembled a little.
Luke shook his head: "No, it shouldn't be sick, it looks fine, I just want you to keep an eye on it."
It's too good! He added silently in his mind and drove away.
After we got home and took out the barbecue, as expected, no one was excited.
They had just finished dinner, and the two girls and the boy were not good at eating meat, so they only had a few bites.
Only Robert and Luke, each with a bottle of beer, were happily eating barbecue while watching the football game on TV.
Luke casually asked about the FBI's search for fugitives, and Robert actually received a report about it.
However, it was said that it was just a lone fugitive and there was no need for the town to send out police forces to assist in the search. Robert, the retired sheriff who had no ambition, decisively let it go.
Although the police in the small town don't have to deal with major incidents, they often have to solve some trivial problems between the various ranches and farms. It is not busy but very time-consuming. It is common to argue with farmers for dozens of minutes under the scorching sun.
He had no interest in assigning his officers additional tasks such as searching the mountains, as this was dangerous, had no benefit, and was a waste of police resources.
Luke was not surprised by this situation.
The two FBI agents looked normal enough, so he just checked out of habit to make sure his grandfather's ranch wouldn't be affected.
Taking this opportunity, Luke tested Robert: "What do you think about asking Grandpa to transfer the ranch, or find someone to help manage it so that he doesn't have to work so hard?"
Robert disagreed: "Drex is just a person who can't sit still. What he despises most in his life is lazy people. Why didn't he object to my relationship with Catherine? It was because he saw how hard I worked when I was running the ranch. You'd better not mention this idea to him. Although he dotes on you, he will definitely not treat you well."
Luke was speechless for a moment: "I'm not asking him to do nothing, it's just that he's almost seventy years old, and I want him to do less physical work."
Robert glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and lowered his voice: "I heard that Marino wants to buy a small ranch."
Luke was stunned: "He..."
He subconsciously wanted to say, "He has money?", but then he reacted.
Selina invested 200,000 yuan of her personal savings in Cosmic Cube Technology Company, and still has about 400,000 yuan left.
Her family is quite careful with their spending, so they should have some savings. They could pool the money together to buy a small farm, and it might not be impossible for it to become a family business.
He also pondered: "But, they don't have enough money to buy Grandpa's ranch, right?"
Robert Hardy laughed and said, "What are you thinking about? Marino wants to buy the small ranch next to your grandfather's and wants your grandfather to invest in it."
"Won't that make Grandpa even busier?" Luke was puzzled.
Robert laughed and said, "Then give him some advice and ask him to find someone who knows how to manage the ranch on a daily basis to manage Marino's ranch."
Luke thought for a moment and said, "You mean, if Grandpa wants to take a break, he can also let this person manage his ranch together?"
Robert patted his shoulder: “Well, that’s what you said, I didn’t say anything.”
Luke: …
It turns out that he was waiting for me here.
Robert was not afraid of Drexel. This rough man was actually very proud.
He even saved up for Luke and Claire's college tuition on his own and never asked Drex for money.
Even though Drex kept saying he would pay for Luke's college tuition, Robert never took the bait.
Therefore, he didn't want to talk about his father-in-law's ranch, nor did he want Catherine to interfere.
But Luke is Drex's grandson, so there's no problem with him saying these things.
Of course, Claire and Joseph are also grandsons, but they obviously do not have the ability to convince the stubborn old man Drexel.
Robert felt that only Luke could convince the old-fashioned Drex.
Luke rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment: "Is there a suitable candidate for that manager?"
Selena's father Marino is definitely not suitable. Although he has been a cowboy for more than ten years and works diligently and seriously, and all the cowboy skills are very professional, he really has no management ability.
Robert shrugged. "If you think this idea is feasible, then let Drex find it himself. He is still very interested in expanding his "sphere of influence."
Luke was ashamed: Isn't his grandfather a little too energetic? He is much more hardworking than himself.
"Then I'll find time to call grandpa." Luke said.
Robert: “You’re not going there in person?”
Luke sighed, "We have to think it over before we can finalize this matter. I guess it's too late to do it during this holiday."
Robert patted his forehead: "Well, you are always so old-fashioned."
After talking about this topic, he hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice: "You are in Los Angeles... Is everything fine?"
Luke shrugged. "That's it. It's pretty much the same as in Houston. I'm not in the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration). You don't have to worry that much."
Robert snorted lightly: "Don't fool me. You... better restrain yourself."
