Chapter 50: Turning Faces? (Asking for Recommendation Votes!)
After the summer holidays.
It's autumn.
It's time to go.
"Mr. Duncan, Mrs. Duncan. ”
"Juno, Karen, welcome, welcome, come in for a cup of tea? Bob, go call Adam. ”
"Thank you, Mrs. Duncan. ”
"No, it's because we should thank you for sending Adam to New York. ”
"You're welcome, we're good friends. ”
"Yes, yes, young people should make more good friends. ”
When Juno and Karen drove over, they were warmly received by their mother, Amy.
Compared with the amazing Amy who gave her a headache and disgusted before, Juno and Karen, not only completely crushed the amazing Amy in appearance, but also behaved appropriately (mutual learning in front of her, forming a band, etc.), and there was no sign of control freaks, let alone two people.
It's four times as happy as there is!
She and Bob were high school classmates, then became lovers, and now they are happy families with four children, so she believes in and appreciates the feelings of childhood sweethearts.
If possible, her son will follow their romantic tradition and form a happy family in the future, and a happy life will definitely be her best hope.
However, which one to choose?
Juno is smart and atmospheric.
Karen is quiet and gentle, and her sin is extremely vicious.
It's all very good girls, it's really distressing.
While Amy beckoned Juno and Karen while secretly looking into the plight of the child, Bob also went down to the basement in good spirits and found Adam who was packing.
"Son, are you packed? Juno and Karen are already here. ”
"Right away. ”
Adam put the manuscript and the copy away, thought about it, pulled it out, and solemnly handed it to Bob.
"Dad, this is the manuscript of the novel I wrote, you must put it away well, whether it is to work in the sea, or in the clubhouse...... Well, in short, this is a matter of whether our family can get rid of poverty and become rich, you must be careful, don't be stolen by someone, or be harmed by Gaby. ”
"Get rid of poverty and become rich?Adam, you are really joking, your mother has been out to work for four years, and our family is barely middle-class, where does poverty come from. ”
Bob took Adam's manuscript absently, seeing that Adam did not agree, he just looked at him seriously, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Okay, okay, I know, this is the manuscript of your first novel son, I will definitely take good care of it, and I will definitely not let Gaby be in trouble." ”
Obviously, in his eyes, the probability of others stealing is far less than that of his youngest son, Gaby.
Adam was convinced.
This kind of town is full of detached families, and the people around are all acquaintances, and the risk of theft is not great, but once you get to a metropolis like New York, which is called heaven and hell, anything strange can happen.
Being robbed when you go out, burglary, it's all a basic exercise.
For example, in Friends, Joey and Chandler's apartment was ransacked, and of course Joey was mainly to blame for his stupidity.
But in the Big Bang Theory, Sheldon and Leonard's apartment was truly ransacked.
The door lock was picked open, the alien notebook was gone, and the only thing that relieved Sheldon was that his tons of comic books hadn't been stolen.
But that's it, Sheldon is also afraid of being robbed again.
At first, he couldn't sleep, then asked Howard to install an advanced anti-theft device, and after he himself was captured by the anti-theft device and became incontinent, he was determined to leave the crime-ridden Pasadena completely.
Countless places were ruled out, and one was finally chosen.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he got off the train, the salute was snatched away in a grand manner, and Sheldon had no choice but to buy a ticket to return to Pasadena immediately.
Later, Sheldon was angry at Caltech's arrangement for him, coupled with the big changes in his friends, he couldn't accept it for a while, and chose to escape by train again.
This time, he lost not only the salute, but also his pants......
Although this looks funny, the tragic reality reflected in the comedy makes Adam in this country unable to laugh.
His book had not yet been published, and once the manuscript was robbed, it was all over.
So for the sake of safety, he decided to bring only two copies, even if he was robbed, he could prove that he had written the manuscript if he had the manuscript in hand.
In the future, manuscripts will sell for a lot of money.
"Middle class?"
Seeing that Bob listened carefully, Adam was relieved, and joked with a smile: "How can there be this class, this is completely a word made up by the rich." ”
"What?"
Bob was stunned.
Education in the United States is indeed developed, but it is aimed at the elite, and the horizon of the general public is so low that you can't believe it.
Most of the time, the upper elite is what they say, and this is true in the future era of non-connected networks, let alone the current information underdeveloped in the 90s.
"The middle class is a complete pseudo-concept. ”
Adam explained: "The property in the bourgeoisie and the proletariat refers to the possession of the means of production, that is, assets, while the property of the so-called middle class is stolen into the property of property, and owning property does not mean that you own assets." The middle class is nothing more than the proletariat with some property. ”
Bob's mouth opened wide in disbelief, "Is this the case?"
"What do you think?"
Adam shrugged his shoulders and said, "What's the difference between you and the proletariat in your eyes? It's just that the house is a little bigger, the car is better, the clothes and food are a little more elaborate, and you are still working for others." ”
The corners of Bob's mouth twitched, and he was really speechless when he realized that it made sense.
For a while, his mood was a little depressed, and anyone who knew that he had struggled all his life and wanted to enter the class did not exist at all, and it would be a little difficult to accept.
His dream of the United States!
"I'm all right. ”
Adam interrupted Bob's emotional dispersion.
"Oh. ”
Bob restrained his emotions, cheered up, and forced a smile: "Son, Juno or Karen, which one do you choose?"
"Which one to choose?"
Adam was speechless: "I don't choose any of them, they're just friends." ”
"Don't lie to Dad. ”
Bob smiled naturally and informally: "You are so handsome, they are so beautiful, you mix together every day, especially Juno, you are just simple friends?"
“......”
Adam held his mouth in his heart.
Yes, they did get together every day, but even once, he took the initiative to find Juno?
No!
Not once!
It was all Juno's initiative from beginning to end, and he had nowhere to hide.
Getting along with each other every day, at first, he was frightened, but now if it weren't for Juno deliberately wearing Little Red Riding Hood, he would have almost forgotten Juno's horror.
As for the flip?
Not to mention that Juno is still providing him with a steady stream of wisdom points, but he doesn't provide it, for more than four years, people have always greeted him with a smile, and his words and deeds seem to really treat him as a friend.
Adam, who has a very positive outlook, is not Long Aotian who scares the sky and the air, how can he turn his face for no reason?
If you really want to do that, I'm afraid that it will be finished, after all, Juno is too steady......
Not to mention that the improvement of physical attribute points depends on the positive energy of family and friendship, exercise is actually useless, even if it is promoted to the level of Wolverine?
It is better to pour you into a pile of cement and throw you into the sea, it is better to stretch out your head and slash it.
