Chapter 146: Family
Strange and Doom became brothers, and the two fell in love with each other. In the future, we will spend all kinds of fun study time together in Kamataki. Ahh
Li Jie silently blessed Strange, as for whether Strange was willing to accept this blessing?
Sorry, my ears didn't hear clearly. Unwilling to accept this blessing? Is it possible? Is it possible? You know, now is it for him and the strongest man on earth to learn how to become a super powerhouse.
Supreme Mage, what a sacred word! I don't know how many people will break their heads for this position. Take Doom, for example. Of course, Dom should have broken Strange's head, not his own.
Well, to prevent Doom from breaking his own head, this is also a test on the way to becoming a Supreme Mage, isn't it?
Li Jie didn't plan to look at Strange's smile revealing MMP's expression, or even if he saw it, Li Jie would treat it as if he didn't see it.
Because Li Jie has more important things to do.
"Doom, can you lend me your X-gene checker?" Li Jie shouted to Doom, who was 'exchanging feelings' with Strange.
At this time, Durm is educating Strange, as a junior brother, you need to obediently listen to your senior brother's words, for example: What I didn't give you, you can't rob it. Stuff like that.
Dum, who was educating his brother love, glanced at Li Jie when he heard his words, and then took out a part of a square box from under the armor of his arm, and then threw it directly to Li Jie.
"You need to connect a monitor to see the readings, and I think you know how to get it. Doom said to Li Jie.
"Thanks!" Li Jie raised his hand at Dum, but Doom didn't look at Li Jie at all, he still continued to have a 'pleasant exchange' with Strange. It wasn't until the arrival of the Ancient One's personal servant, the king, who was also the head of Kamataki's internal affairs, that the two who were in deep communication separated.
Strange was about to turn pale, but because he was a very fair-skinned white man, this level of whiteness was not visible to others.
As for Gu Yi, Li Jie said hello directly, and then took Lan's hand and prepared to leave. Of course, if the Ancient One had to leave Arashi behind, she would have Kamataki do her homework or something. Li Jie has already thought of a set of rhetoric.
However, it seems that the Ancient One Mage has no such intentions, and he just watched with a meaningful smile as Li Jie and Arashi left Kamataki.
As for Li Jie leaving in such a hurry, what is he going to do? Does he still need to ask here? Even Strange has fallen for Magneto-fake medicine-Marx, and Li Jie does not dare to guarantee that his parents will not be tricked. They are taking vitamin tablets on a regular basis.
"I hope that big companies like Amway Nutrilite don't buy Magneto's fake drugs cheaply. Li Jie prayed. At the same time, he asked Lan to go back to his villa first, and he went back to his parents' house first.
Today is a day off, and the bank is not open. Lee Kit's father, Lee En, and mother, Jasley Lee, are both staying at home.
Now the time has entered November, and sitting in the backyard and basking in the sun and reading a book in the windless autumn afternoon is the hobby of Li Jie's father, Li En.
Her mother, Gasley, was in the backyard fiddling with some of the flowers she had planted. And grandpa Li Rong needs to be stared at the restaurant even on his day off, which is something that can't be helped.
"Good afternoon!" Li Jie saw when he returned home.
"Oh, isn't this my son? Long time no see, I always thought you had been kidnapped, but I never received a ransom from the kidnappers. I wonder if they've already torn up the ticket. Li En, who was sitting on a recliner watching "Mars Rising" (note), glanced at Li Jie from the back of the book and said.
"Thank goodness you weren't kidnapped. Just forgot the way home, next time do you need me to draw a map and hang it on your chest and write the distress number 999 in case you can't find the way?"
Well, this is Li En complaining that Li Jie didn't come home for a long time after moving out. Li Jie could only hold his forehead and helplessly said to his father: "Please, Dad, I'm an adult now!"
Listening to Li Jie's words, Li En immediately jumped up and said in an extremely angry tone: "You can call me Dad, Dad, Father even call me by my name directly." But if you dare to put an old word in front of these titles, see that I don't tear your mouth apart! I'm only forty-four years old, and I'm not old at all!"
Well, in all fairness, Lee En does not look old. Proper exercise and a healthy diet, coupled with a regular routine. This makes Li En's body belong to the strong group among ordinary people. He is in his early thirties, and some people believe him.
Facing the old ...... who is on fire Well...... Dear father, Li Jie naturally couldn't use any violent means to make him sit down, so he could only say in obedience: "Okay, okay, young and handsome Mr. Li En." Please don't get so angry, okay?"
And Li Jie's mother, Jia Sili, put away the gardening tools she had just held in her hand, washed her hands and walked over, and pinched her husband Li En, who was angry with her son, and pinched her husband Li En, who was angry with her son: "Can you not go so far? Jie is already an adult, and he has his own life." ”
Lady Gasley is of mixed English Saxon and Latino descent, with beautiful long blond hair and a healthy sun-kissed complexion. Her facial features are deep and three-dimensional, and she is a woman with classical European beauty.
For Mrs. Casley to help him speak, Li Jie can only thank God, he still has a good mother, Li Jie sighed in his heart.
Lady Gasley then said, "And hasn't he been living with that girl named Arashi lately? Where have you come to progress?, to be honest, I don't mind you getting married now, but I don't want to be a grandmother so early." Jay, do you understand what I mean?"
Li Jie patted his forehead, he didn't know how to respond. A nightkin who was originally sharp-tongued on the outside, and his pot-throwing skills soared. Once I get home, I will always be confused by my parents' mixed sex beatings.
In the end, Li Jie could only say that he would make his own dinner today to escape this embarrassing atmosphere.
At dinner, Li Jie talked about mutants. He hasn't used a mutant detector to check yet, this is because Li Jie wants to know what his parents' attitude towards mutants is and what kind of opinion they have.
"Mutants?" Li En forked a sausage with a fork, "Speaking of which, I remember that the children of the Richard family are mutants, and his abilities are quite good." ”
"Huh?" Li Jie was a little puzzled, "It's your colleague's Richard, how come I don't know that his children are mutants?"
"Because he just woke up recently, Richard was actually quite surprised at first, but then he was quite happy. Because the forgetfulness of his somewhat forgetful little chubby son is finally healed. Li En said with a smile.
Lady Gasley also nodded: "I guess I have awakened an ability to enhance my memory, but it just offsets the original amnesia of Richard's son." It was a cure for his illness. You must know that if you have amnesia, it is difficult to even study, because you will forget what you have learned immediately. ”
After eating the sausage, Li Jie said, "So son, why are you asking this? And why are you showing such an expression, are you discriminating against mutants?"
"No, of course not!I don't discriminate against anyone!" Li Jie immediately put away his somewhat surprised expression, and took two bites of broccoli to slow down.
Li En looked at Li Jie's eyes and said seriously: "Remember the child, we are a minority in this country. Discrimination against ethnic minorities has never diminished. You've grown up a lot better. ”
"You don't know how hard it was for me to get into a private school or a church school with a good quality education when I was your age, even though your grandfather's restaurant was making a lot of money at the time, but you waved dollars and people still kicked you out. ”
"The world is inherently unequal, and discrimination doesn't just happen in the United States. It can happen in any corner of the world, because of religious beliefs, race, color, political orientation, or even just because you live in the south of the city and I live in the north of the city, and the people in the south of the city will discriminate against the people in the north of the city. ”
"So from that point on, I made up my mind that I was going to work harder to silence those who looked down on me. I didn't go to a private school or a church school, I went to university like a public school and got a full scholarship. I was able to work for Citibank and even in management. Li Jie put down the knife and fork in his hand, and he patted Li Jie on the shoulder with one hand and said earnestly.
"There are many people in this world who will discriminate against you and hate you because of various problems. But remember, don't propagate this chain of discrimination. You can't stop others, so you need to start with you. All discrimination and injustice ends with you! I want you to remember, child. ”
Li Jie's mother, Mrs. Casley, stretched out her hands to hold Li En's other hand, and glanced at Li En with a tender and sweet look, before turning her head to look at Li Jie and saying, "Jie, you have grown up." You also know a lot of truth. I just want you to learn from your father in some way. ”
"You can be flamboyant or occasionally improper, but deep down, you must remember that you must keep your chest up and be an upright person. ”
Lady Gasley stretched out her hand and patted Li Kit's other shoulder and said, "This is more important than any wealth in the world. Because being born as a human being is the greatest gift from God, don't let this world down. ”
Li Jie looked at his parents and smiled.
Perhaps the birth of the Nightkin is genetic.
