271 This is spicy chicken
Compared with the yellowed and dilapidated corridor in the corridor, Bruce's house is obviously simply renovated, the walls are painted with a layer of clean paint and hung with various photos of the family, and the air is filled with a faint smell of materials.
Standing in front of him, Cagney looked ordinary, of course, by American standards, and Bruce's double eyelids were not noticeable on his face.
When he was introduced to Zheng Jianguo by his father on the shoulder, Cagni was much more disapprehensive than curious, but considering that there were other adults next to him, he pulled the corners of his mouth and showed a false smile, and stretched out his hand: "It's nice to meet you, Zheng-"
"Doctor, Jianguo is now a double doctor-"
Bruce quickly spoke, and Zheng Jianguo shook hands with Cagney and smiled, a shy smile that had not been shown for a long time.
Bruce had already patted Cagney on the shoulder, and smiled at Zheng Jianguo: "Zheng, please come with me, there are a few friends here who want to get to know you, Cagney, don't run around!"
"Okay, Dad!"
The smile on his face completely disappeared, and after glancing at Zheng Jianguo, Cagney turned around and entered the living room, and saw his cousin Jessica and his sister Martha standing by the wall, looking like they had just peeped for fear of being discovered, so he shrugged his shoulders and said, "You see, Dad treats Zheng as an adult." ”
"Is Zheng really a double doctor?"
Jessica stroked the long burgundy hair next to her ears, her dark blue eyes were full of scrutiny, Cagney shrugged her shoulders and sat straight on the brand new sofa, put her feet on the coffee table in front of her, and said with a shaking: "Dad said that, it should be true-"
"You should be polite to Zheng, don't think that he is about the same age as you, you will not respect him, Kagni, if you really want to be a doctor, you must be more careful!
Catlyn put the two fruit bowls on the coffee table, looked into the study and said, and emphasized again to Cagney with a warning face, and then saw Jessica and her daughter Martha next to her, her eyes swept over the two of them, and then she reached out and sorted out the hairpins on their heads, and her expression softened a lot: "From today on, you all have to become ladies, so that Martha can be welcomed at New York French High School, and Jessica is about to start college life——"
"Okay, Mom!"
"Okay, Auntie!"
Seeing that Martha answered, Jessica blinked her blue eyes and spoke.
It was only after Catherin nodded that she entered the kitchen next to her, and Cagney, who was looking at the TV, turned her head to look at the two, her eyes swept over Jessica's sapphire-like eyes, and then at Martha, who was trying to be a lady, and couldn't help but burst out of her rebellious personality: "Do you feel that your aunt and mother are going to introduce you two to Zheng as girlfriends-"
"No, they just don't want us to embarrass them, that would embarrass them, the reason why our school's tuition is not worse than medical school is not because this is the Upper East Side of Manhattan, next to either Central Park or Fifth Avenue, we can't be ashamed here-"
Feeling the provocative meaning in Cagney's tone, Jessica secretly cursed a stupid person in her heart, but considering that she grew up in this family after all, a smile appeared on her face: "It's not the previous Lower East Side, I heard that the housing prices here will only rise and not fall." ”
"I don't think Jessica you don't have to pretend to be a lady, just smile at Zheng or any other man, and they'll be obsessed with you—"
Looking at the way this cousin spoke and sitting, Cagney sat up quickly with his legs crossed and came to her side, not wanting the latter to move slightly, and smiled after pulling away from him: "Although appearance is important, you also need to have a brain." ”
"My brother is still a little clever, but I don't know if he smoked that thing too much, thinking that he is still under 18 years old like us, and can lose his temper and express his dissatisfaction with his parents-"
Picking a brow with heavy makeup, Martha said in the tone of a young man, and then glanced at Cagney's sitting posture, and his mind flashed the work that his father arranged for him today, so he continued to speak: "Then you don't have to worry about being kicked out of the house, you need to raise your own college tuition for the next four years, or because you can't pay the tuition fees, you can't complete your college education, so you can only go to the factory as a worker or a waiter in a fast food restaurant." ”
"Cousin Kagney, you don't want that, do you?"
Jessica glanced at Martha with curiosity on her face, she didn't expect the latter to take out what the two had said in private, so she was afraid of provoking this person's dissatisfaction, and continued to speak: "Especially if you still want to study pre-med in college, so that you can go to medical school after graduation - even if your uncle and aunt are willing to provide you with tuition, even if you study well, you will become a doctor like Zheng in eight years." ”
"Eight years, you'll be 26 years old by then, which is a long time. ”
Martha subconsciously spoke, only to see Cagney quickly put away his feet from the coffee table and sit up straight, as if he was moved and looked at the two of them, and said with curiosity on his face: "Have you two talked about me in private?"
"To be exact, I'm thinking about how to persuade you, but it's not because you have any charm, especially when your uncle asked you to pick up Zheng before, you didn't receive it, but when you came back, you still felt that he made you ugly, and you were complained by your uncle and aunt, do you want to vent the fire in your heart on Zheng's body?"
Jessica stared at Cagney with blue eyes and said, but soon noticed that the other party's face flashed disapprehantly, and when he stretched out his hand, he said: "You feel that you are very faceless, but have you considered the face of adults? If you think that your face is bigger than theirs, they will not care what you think, because it means that you are still very naïve."
Now in that study is my uncle's most important friend, but after Zheng came, he introduced you to him first, which is probably because my uncle was afraid that Zheng had left a bad impression, and explained that he had not received him well, and then took him to the study, but what about you? Do you feel wronged? Do you want to ruin your family's housewarming banquet?"
"You, this is what you thought of yourself?"
Cagney seemed to have been punched in the face, staring at Jessica in disbelief and asking, but the latter nodded quickly and said: "People only know how to cherish when they lose, whenever I see you arguing with your uncle and aunt, I regret treating my parents like that back then, but unfortunately now I don't have a chance-"
"I'm sorry, Jessica, I don't want to remind you of the past, this is your home too-"
Hearing her talk about her life experience, Cagney suddenly became a little at a loss, but fortunately Jessica didn't cry and shed tears as he thought, so he nodded and said, "Okay, what do you think can make my parents happy?"
"You just have to listen to them—"
Seeing that this somewhat rebellious cousin was finally back to normal, Jessica had the illusion that she had finally matured, and then remembered her identity as a parasitic fence, so she continued to speak: "Because you can't make money, they won't let you make money, you just need to be obedient and study, they should be happy, and only when they are happy, your usual pocket money will be more." ”
"Well, for the sake of pocket money, I was convinced by you-"
The 18-year-old he had heard before flashed to his mind, and Cagney suddenly remembered that the last time he graduated, several of them were just because their families were unwilling to take money to continue to let them go to school, and now they have worked as waiters in fast food restaurants, and there is even a person who was kicked out of the house after falling out with his family, and he thought of living here for a few days: "Before, I really ignored the fact that I was 18 years old. ”
As if reminded by Jessica, Cagney made up his mind to get close to Zheng Jianguo, but what he didn't expect was that it wasn't until Katrin greeted him and started eating that he saw Zheng Jianguo coming out accompanied by his father, and when he stood up and wanted to say something, Ian Amer, whose head was shining, opened his mouth with a smile: "Cagney, which university are you going to?"
"Actually, I feel like Boston University is pretty good—"
Bruce said quickly, but a pair of eyes looked at Cagney on his smiling cheeks, so that he originally wanted to say hello to Zheng Jianguo, but he was stunned for a moment before nodding and said: "Yes, Boston University is located in the center of Boston University Town, with MIT and Harvard University on the side, and the learning atmosphere is very good. ”
"Hah-"
Ian Aimer looked back at Zheng Jianguo with a smile on his face, and the latter couldn't help but look at this "child" who was full of nose and not nose and eyes, and had a rebellious energy all over his body, knowing that no matter whether this thing would become a doctor in the future, he had to take it true now: "Although I don't know about the pre-med major at Boston University, conservatively speaking, I'm afraid you won't be as leisurely as other students, but I agreed to your request, if you have any problems with your studies, you can always come to me." ”
"Why don't you thank Dr. Zheng?"
Next to him, Ignatius Brosnaan opened his mouth to pick it up, and Cagney saw his father's concerned gaze, he only knew that the stranger who opened his mouth was his father's colleague in the State Department, and it was fundamentally different from Ian Amer, who was purely a friend next to him, and now even he said so, so he quickly said: "Then thank you Dr. Zheng!"
"Pity the hearts of parents all over the world—"
Looking at Bruce, who looked happy, when this thought flashed through Zheng Jianguo's mind, his mouth was not idle: "If you say thank you, I have to thank your father-"
"Zheng, it's too modest to say that. ”
Bruce quickly interrupted Zheng Jianguo's words, and then leaned to the side and said: "You can come here today, and I didn't arrange for outsiders to organize this party, which is also afraid that it will set a precedent for the Upper East Side, but I learned a few Chinese dishes when I was in the Republic, I guess everyone has never tasted them outside, Zheng, you should eat more-"
"Okay, then try Mr. Bruce's craft—"
Since they didn't see the waiter appear when they came, the five people, including Zheng Jianguo, knew that this was a family banquet.
But he didn't expect him to entertain everyone with Chinese food, and then after the table, Cagney took Martha and Jessica to become a waiter, and kept passing the tableware and dishes to the table, but the attention of several people was obviously not on the appetizer, and Evelyn Tully opened his mouth and said: "The Britons are said to have stormed the embassy of Elan, and solved their troubles after paying a few lives. ”
"They're on their doorstep, and they don't have to think about it as long as they're willing to make sacrifices. ”
Ignatius Brosnaan said and glanced at Evelyn Tully, Zheng Jianguo had a good impression of the former director of the visa center who helped him, but he couldn't insert the topic that the two said, although there were Britons rushing into the Elan Embassy, but he didn't have this memory in his mind.
Fortunately, Evelyn Tully cleared his doubts with the next sentence: "Those terrorists don't want to think that if Britain had not agreed to their terms, then if anyone who was dissatisfied would have made such an accident in the future, which country would allow such a situation?"
"If you promise, you will definitely step down, and if you don't agree, you may not step down, but the president is not having a good time, and today's polls are lower-"
Ian Aimer looked at the new caviar and said, Zheng Jianguo saw that the other 4 people except this one looked at each other for a while, and found that this product is likely to be which pot is not opened, and the other 4 people on this table are all President Carter's subordinates, do you say that their boss will not last long?
After a quick glance at the appearance of the four people, Zheng Jianguo also knew that only he could pick up this topic, and remembered the Eagle Claw operation launched last time, so he said: "The reason why the Eagle Claw operation failed last time is not because of weather and environmental factors?"
"That's also an intelligence mistake, how could the troops who fought in South Vietnam for so many years ignore this factor when they acted, I feel that there are still people in the army who are dissatisfied with the president, which may be related to his peasant background.
And he has a more distinct personality flaw, he is afraid of being attacked by a rabbit killer, and in an interview with Playboy, he admitted that when he sees a woman he likes, he fantasizes about the two having a relationship, knowing that he is still an evangelical Christian-"
When Ian Aimer said with some excitement, his eyes were also scanning the other people on the table, until finally his eyes fell on Zheng Jianguo's face, and his voice continued: "Even a young person like Zheng should know that some things can't be done, and some things can't be done, right?"
"Can you tell the media about YY, Carter is taking a lot of drugs, right?"
Facing Ian Aimer's gaze a little depressed, just when Zheng Jianguo didn't know whether to agree with his statement or oppose his statement, Jessica, who was holding a dish, appeared next to him, smiled at him, and after revealing the girl's youthful atmosphere, he put the chicken mixed with green and red peppers in his hand on the table: "Zheng, this is spicy chicken~"
