Chapter 46 46【One year time】
After drinking until slightly drunk at the bar, the two drove home immediately.
In fact, the United States does not allow drunk driving. In California, if the alcohol content in the body exceeds 0.08%, you can be convicted, you will be arrested immediately, and you have to pay fines, bail, towing fees, car storage fees, etc.
If it is serious, you may even be sentenced to imprisonment, suspension of license and other punishments. Moreover, when the car pays for insurance in the future, the cost will also rise.
In the play, Penny violated the traffic regulations many times because of this, so that the insurance cost was so high that she had to go to the Cayman Islands to buy insurance.
However, the United States does not strictly check drunk driving. As long as the car is not driving too strangely, such as S-shaped and B-shaped for a while, it is rarely required to stop and check.
After returning home, it was a lingering affair.
…
Turning around, Xiang Nan still sent Lalita away, and then went back to school to meet Peggy.
On the way, he also received a call from the Kusapari couple.
"Rajesh, how are you getting along with Lalita?" Dr. Kusapari asked with concern.
"Overall, it's pretty good." Xiang Nan commented.
Lalita is both beautiful and smart, with a good background, and is very gentle and considerate to him, so he thinks that Lalita is still very good.
The only shortcoming is that Lalita and Howard can't get along.
"I heard from Lalita's father that Lalita is also very satisfied with you." Dr. Kusapari said with a smile, "Rajesh, if this is the case, then we should hurry up and hold the wedding. We will choose next year It’s spring, just to avoid the rainy season.”
"PAPA, I've told you before that I don't want to get married too hastily." Xiang Nan immediately objected when he heard this, "I hope to get along with Lalita for a while first, to cultivate more relationships and get to know each other better .Just like you did with MAMA, and then think about getting married."
The time he spent with Lalita was still very short, and they hadn't been together for more than twenty-four hours. He thought it was too hasty to decide to get married.
He still doesn't know enough about Lalita, what kind of character she is, what kind of hobbies she has, what kind of flaws she has...he hasn't figured it out yet.
If you marry her like this, it will be no different from the blind marriage hundreds of years ago.
"She is satisfied with you, and you are satisfied with her. That's enough. What else do you need to know?" Dr. Kusapari puzzled.
"PAPA, I hope to fall in love first and then get married like you and MAMA." Xiang Nan explained, "The time I spent with Lalita is too short, and we still don't know enough about each other, please give us some more time .
Lalita and I also have the same opinion. We both want to enjoy the two-person world more, and we are not planning to get married for the time being. "
"Then there must be a plan." Dr. Kusapari urged.
"Larita is just in her first year of graduate school, and she won't be graduating for at least a year. And my research has just started, and it will take at least a year to produce results." Xiang Nan thought for a while, "Well, at least give us a year years."
Within one year, the quantum navigation system and the quantum communication system should be able to complete the debugging of the prototype, and obtain cooperation with external commercial companies.
"Super Asymmetry Theory" can also be created. With these two projects, it is enough to make Raj famous and rich.
And one year is enough for him to see clearly whether Lalita is suitable for marriage.
He also didn't want to push his son too hard. Raj no longer needs the family's money, and the only bond with the family is affection.
If the son is pushed into a hurry and the string is broken, he will never come back.
Besides, what the son said is quite right. He has just started his career now, and there is still a big invention that has not been successfully researched.
Once he succeeds, his son will become a great **** in the science and technology world, become famous all over the world, and make a lot of money every day. At that time, don't worry about finding a better partner.
…
Back to school, after seeing Peggy, Xiang Nan gave her a copy of his house key.
"Saturday, Sunday, or weekday night, whichever day you have time, help me clean it up." He smiled and said to Lalita.
"Okay, thank you, Raj." Peggy nodded.
"You're welcome." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Don't work today, hurry up and find a house, and move out as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you stay there for one more day, I will worry about you for one day."
Peggy was taken aback, and looked at Xiang Nan suspiciously, "Raj, why are you so kind to me? Are you also treating me so kindly because I am beautiful?"
"I have to say that beautiful people are indeed given special treatment." Xiang Nan nodded frankly and said, "It's like the cute pandas that are both endangered animals, and the ugly mountain tapirs are so cute. No one likes it."
"But the reason why I help you this way is mainly because I'm a good person." He laughed again, "Before you, I once sponsored a penguin at the Los Angeles Zoo, and I named it Doudou. "
After listening to him, Peggy nodded, "Thank you, Raj."
"You're welcome, I'm helping you for my peace of mind." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "If you think my help has interfered with your life, then you can tell me directly."
"No." Peggy quickly waved her hand, "I am very grateful for your help."
"That's good." Xiang Nan nodded.
…
In the next day, Xiang Nan contacted the real estate agency and took Peggy to find a house.
Although the time was short, I didn't find any more listings for a while. But in comparison, any house they have now is better than Peggy's current slum. At least these houses just want money, but the houses there are killing.
After viewing three houses, Peggy finally settled on an apartment on Windsor Avenue.
The house here is relatively the cheapest, and the monthly rent is only one thousand dollars.
However, the living environment is good, with complete supporting facilities and convenient public transportation. It is only 15 kilometers away from Caltech, and it only takes 30 minutes by bus.
The most important thing is that the law and order here is good and the crime rate is very low. Single women walking alone at night are unlikely to be in danger. This is what Xiang Nan likes the most.
After choosing a house, Xiang Nan is going to help Peggy move.
"Raj, my current house is still due in a few days, I'll look at it for a few days before moving." Peggy suggested.
"Peggy, is the house payment for a few days more important, or your life?" Xiang Nan persuaded, "Hurry up and move. While I have time to help you now, you can save the cost of moving. Otherwise, in the future you Hiring a moving company also costs money.”
Hearing what he said, Peggy thought for a while and finally nodded.
