Save the Bachelor of Heaven

During the Great Depression, the steel mills of the Hockley family were not spared. The stock price plummeted, the market shrank, and the sales volume dropped sharply, resulting in insolvency and bankruptcy.

Carl Hockley could not bear the fact that he had fallen from a rich man to a pauper, and finally chose to shoot himself. The whole family also scattered, leaving only Trudy.

Trudy was still relatively strong. She did not die, but survived with difficulty.

Fortunately, she was born as a maid. Although she had lived as a rich lady for more than ten years, her basic skills were not lost, and she could still do something within her ability.

After Rose learned about Carl's death, she went to find Trudy and saw that she rented a small attic and made a living by mending clothes for others.

Fortunately, she was alone and had no children to raise, otherwise her life would be even more difficult.

Rose left Trudy a sum of money so that she could live a better life.

Xiang Nan bought the Ocean Heart Diamond that Carl used to pay off his debt.

He originally bought this diamond for Rose as a wedding gift.

But Rose knew that he did that not because he loved her, but just treated her as a pet dog, dressing her up beautifully so that she could take her out to meet guests.

That's why Rose called it a "dog chain" and thought she couldn't breathe after wearing it.

Therefore, when she eloped with Xiang Nan later, she left the diamond necklace to Carl and didn't want to take it with her at all.

But now it's different.

This diamond no longer belongs to Carl, but was bought by Xiang Nan.

He then gave the diamond to Rose, "Now it's no longer a dog chain, but a witness to our love. Only such a beautiful necklace is worthy of you, a peerless beauty."

Rose was also very happy to accept the necklace.

...

Then, Xiang Nan and Rose settled in Los Angeles.

They bought the mansion that originally belonged to William Fox, the owner of Fox Film Company.

This Fox Film Company is the predecessor of 20th Century Fox.

William Fox is a very shrewd and capable businessman. He started from scratch and spent twelve years to develop from a small production company into a super giant with a 300-acre studio and more than 600 cinemas.

In the whole of Hollywood, he is considered a leading movie tycoon.

But unfortunately, he was unlucky. He was injured in a car accident, and then he was investigated by the Ministry of Justice for monopoly. He also lost most of his wealth in the Great Depression, which led to his imprisonment.

His mansion was sold to pay off debts, and Xiang Nan bought the mansion at a very low price.

Soon after the purchase, Rose became pregnant and gave birth to a son ten months later.

Xiang Nan named him John Dawson.

In the next few years, Xiang Nan stayed at home with his wife and son, and by the way, he set up a foundry, hammering and clanging all day long.

Five years later, he successfully reproduced the Ravenclaw crown, Hufflepuff's gold cup and time converter.

In fact, he had already copied Ravenclaw's crown and Hufflepuff's gold cup in the Harry Potter world, but he just didn't bring them out.

Now it's not difficult for him to copy them, it just takes some energy and time.

The difficulty of making a time converter is actually lower than that of a crown and a gold cup. Because there are many time converters in the Ministry of Magic, but there is only one crown and a gold cup.

Xiang Nan once got a time converter from the Ministry of Magic, so he knows it very well. It's not difficult to copy it now.

With these three magic props, Xiang Nan is like a tiger with wings.

Ravenclaw's crown can increase his wisdom; Hufflepuff's gold cup can provide him with food. Although he no longer needs to eat, as the saying goes, food is never tired of fine food, and meat is never tired of fine food. Who would complain that he eats well?

And the time converter is even more amazing. It can make people go back to the past. Although the time is limited, it can only go back five hours, otherwise serious errors may occur.

But five hours is enough for Xiang Nan to fly from the United States to China, so five hours is definitely enough.

...

In the following time, as John grew up, Rose gradually let go.

She began to pursue her own life.

She learned to fly, paint and sculpt, held her own art exhibitions, learned surfing and sailing...

While Xiang Nan accompanied her, he also invested and collected.

In the early 20th century, many masters emerged in the history of art.

Like Picasso, Cézanne, Monet, Matisse, Pollock, Klimt, Mondrian, etc., their works have their own merits and styles, not only famous in the contemporary era, but also far-reaching influence.

Xiang Nan collected many of their works, not for investment, but to take back to the real world.

A few years later, World War II broke out.

Although the American continent was not affected by the war, it also entered the stage of material control because of the war. Food, fuel, cloth, sugar, coffee, milk, and even car tires were restricted in supply.

Even wealthy families like Xiang Nan were no exception.

But luckily he has the Hufflepuff gold cup, so he can just tell it what he wants to eat.

Roast chicken, steak, lamb chops, cake, pudding, bread, red wine, rum, whiskey... everything is available. There is even Chinese food, if you want to eat sweet and sour pork, Buddha jumps over the wall, mapo tofu, West Lake vinegar fish, you can eat it.

Helga Hufflepuff is not only a powerful wizard, but also very good at food magic. The food served in the Hogwarts canteen is made according to the menu she left behind.

She also included this menu in her golden cup, so her golden cup can produce so many delicious foods.

When Xiang Nan was making the golden cup, he also added his own menu.

And he knew more menus, such as court cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, as well as Indian cuisine, Japanese cuisine, French cuisine, Italian cuisine, Mexican cuisine...

It can be said that this golden cup is a treasure trove of food. You can eat whatever you want, so their family has no problem of material shortage and lives very well.

…

Four or five years later, World War II ended and John was fifteen years old.

During this period, under Xiang Nan's teaching, he was not only smart but also very educated and hardworking.

He was also very popular with his classmates at school.

After all, he inherited the looks of Jack and Rose and was a handsome guy since he was a child.

At the age of 15, after skipping grades several times, he was successfully admitted to the California Institute of Technology to conduct research in aeronautics.

Xiang Nan was naturally very happy about his son's achievement.

John was also very grateful for his father's teachings. If he had not cultivated his interest in science since childhood, he would not have been so fascinated by science and embarked on the path of scientific research.
