Like carrying a little chick, Li Jie dragged Sam away from the two girls by the collar. Mindy shouted at Li Jie, "Remember to return him later." We're still rehearsing for the cosplay at Comic-Con New York. He's an important part of Voldemort!"

Li Jie waved his hand and said, "Got it, I'll return your important props in a while." Li Jie can see that for Mindy, Sam's role as an important prop and tool is greater than that of a friend of the opposite sex.

Now that "Voldemort" has been dragged away by the Nightcrawler, "Harry Potter" and "Hermione Granger" will not be able to join forces to defeat Voldemort with magic for the time being.

So "Harry" and "Hermione" had to decide to go back to their room and have afternoon tea first. Sam just bought a little English dessert from London not long ago with a cup of hazelnut milk tea, and this afternoon tea is excellent.

Well, by the way, you can also spell the Lego NINJAGO movie SET, the shark pepper robot of the Great Demon King of Kathmandu. So Mindy took Laura's hand and said hello to Li Jie before preparing to flash.

Instead, Laura kindly said to Sam, "Come over for dessert later." I'll leave you almond bundgets (macarons). ”

Mindy whispered to Laura, "Hmm, are you serious?" Laura nodded lightly, and replied in the same whispered volume, "Yes, we don't like to eat almond bunds." It's so sweet, and it can't be eaten by my dad or your dad. If the sugar content is too high, it is easy to eat three highs, and older people need to control the sugar in their diet. ”

"Hackers are even worse. He's already a fat man, and if he eats too many almond bunds, he'll get diabetes. Spider-Man isn't there, and Nightkin doesn't have a sweet tooth. It's a waste to throw away those marzipans, a small piece of bread can cost a few dollars! ”

Laura said with a serious expression on her little face. There is no feeling of using Sam as a food waste processor at all. And Mindy also nodded and gave Laura a thumbs up and praised: "What a good girl to save~." ”

The two girls went back to their room arm in arm. Only Sam, who was dragged away by Li Jie, was still giggling, and this kid's beautiful snot was bubbling.

Hey, young man. Li Jie really couldn't bear to kick Sam out of his fantasy world. After all, everyone has a period of secondary two, and it is obvious that Nova is now in this period of secondary two full of fantasy.

There is no difference between him and those 24K pure X silk that when he sees a beautiful girl smiling at him, he thinks that the other party likes me or has a crush on me. This is not conducive to the physical and mental development of teenagers!

Li Jie dragged Sam into a private room and closed the door. He pressed him to the seat, threw a pack of napkins in his face, and said, "Wipe your snot bubbles, look at your breath!"

Hearing Li Jie say this, Sam immediately tidied up his appearance. It's not a handsome guy in the first place, but if it's still sloppy, then there's no chance of winning the girl's favor. Sam thought.

And Li Jie didn't have much nonsense about Sam, who was always a young man, he just stood there and watched Sam clean himself up and asked directly, "What do you think about your future, Sam." ”

"What? I'm sorry, sir. What are you talking about?" Sam was a little overwhelmed by Li Jie's sudden question.

Because the Nightkin spoke in the same tone as if he were the principal of his school. This year, Sam is in a time period of progression. The small town of Sanssouci in Arizona, where he lives, is a small place with a population of less than 10,000 people, and it is truly the American countryside.

There are elementary, junior high and high schools in the town. But at the school where Sam is currently studying, if he continues to attend a local high school, he will definitely be able to go to college in the future. Unless he can pay the high full tuition fee to attend a second-rate or even third-rate university.

So Sam's current principal brought Sam's group of children over to talk. If you don't plan to go to university in the future, then you can go to high school with peace of mind, and there is basically no public school tuition anyway. The only thing to pay is a small amount of lunch food.

If you want to go to college, and you want to go to a better university, then you have to find a way to transfer to a good high school near a big city, which requires a sum of money. The local principal is a nice guy who says he can help students connect with his connections in the education system, and that transfers are probably possible.

If you don't want to go to university or high school, there is a good technical school in the nearby city. That tuition fee is much more expensive than the average high school. But being able to learn a good skill and come out and find a job is much better than a high school student who doesn't know anything. Nuyi can at least be a middle-class blue-collar worker.

So although Sam was only fifteen years old, he actually had the first fork in the road in his life. After three years of carefree study in a local high school, I went out to a pizza shop to find a job as a waiter with a low salary.

Or work hard to get into a good university. In order to be able to get a decent and well-paid job after graduating from college.

Either go to a technical school for a few years and then become a skilled worker with a stable salary.

Three forks in the road in life have been laid out in front of Sam. In fact, he was a little overwhelmed, and Sam's mother didn't force Sam to choose one or the other. She just told Sam, "You're fifteen, and you'll be sixteen in a year." At the age of sixteen, you can already get a driver's license. In a sense, you're almost an adult. You need to make your own choice, what do you like?"

"Going to college is good, it fills your mind and makes you decent in and out later. It's also good to go to a local high school, you will live a simple life without so much stress. Finding a simple job at a gas station can also support a family. It's great if you choose to be a skilled worker, at least you don't have to worry about losing your job. ”

Sam's mother made the matter very clear and straightforward, and there are advantages and disadvantages to any choice. The key is whether you want the benefits so much, and whether you can afford the disadvantages of those choices later in life?

"I can't choose your life path for you, I can only tell you that every choice is good and bad. It doesn't mean that one choice is necessarily the right one. The final choice is yours. Sam's mother said.

So when Li Jie asked Sam how he should choose the future, he was a little stunned. It seems that it has suddenly become a time to face his own principal and ask about his future choices.

Sam said with some promises, "Me." He shook his head: "I don't know. ”

"Hah!" Li Jie really wanted to punch the boy in the head. A boy who doesn't even know how to think about his own future, is now inexplicably addicted to "beauty" and can't extricate himself.

"I didn't study very well, my grades were only at the midstream level, and I was afraid it would be difficult for me to get into a first-class university. Technical school tuition is too expensive. With my mother's income alone, we might not be able to pay for the school fees for several years, and the bank might not be willing to lend us money. But I don't want to have to do those simple jobs at the gas station or fast food restaurant in the future. "Sam didn't know what to choose.

"But now it seems that the only path in front of me is to spend these three years in high school and then find a simple job. I don't know what to do anymore. Sam was a little depressed.

Li Jie shook his head helplessly: "You are planning to waste your father's inheritance like this?"

"He didn't leave anything behind but this helmet. Not a dime!" Sam said, his father's tone was still not particularly nice. Even if the stories my father told were true, he was indeed a superhero, but he is now gone.

And nothing really useful was left. The burden of the family is on his mother, and Sam has to deliver newspapers every morning to earn some pocket money. And every time he ran errands for Mindy, Mindy would be generous enough to leave the extra change (sometimes seven or eight dollars, sometimes a dozen dollars) to Sam, and never ask him for it.

This made Sam's life a little better. A dozen dollars is not a small amount of money for him! That's enough to buy several liters of milk, plus two cartons of eggs and some fruit.

Heroic deeds are inspiring, but at the end of the day, heroic deeds cannot be eaten. So the father may have been a hero before, but that doesn't change the reality that the Sami family is relatively poor. Especially after he disappeared, the family became more and more financially difficult.

Paying bills every month is the hardest day for a family. Sam has tried to use his power to get some money back countless times. For him now, it's a no-brainer. But he never did. Maybe it's because of my mother's teachings since childhood, or my father's heroic stories.

Sam would rather go to deliver newspapers every morning and do odd jobs to earn some money, rather than use any illegal means to get a large sum of money at once. People always have to have a little backbone and a moral code of conduct in life.

"My father may have been a great helper to others, but he didn't help us. We have to worry about bank bills every month. Sam said there was a bit of indignation.

Li Jie pointed to the Nova helmet that Sam put aside and said, "But you still chose to wear this helmet, didn't you? You chose to inherit your father's abilities, do you want to be a real hero?"

"I want to!" Sam barely hesitated, but he quickly added, "but I also want to make my family life better." I have a mother and a younger sister and I need to feed them. Maybe next year I won't wear this helmet again and won't be here. I was sixteen years old and I was able to find some better-paying jobs. But those jobs can take away all my time. ”

Li Jie touched his chin and pondered it for a moment and said, "Okay, Sam." You're a big kid now. I think maybe your father's legacy is more than just a helmet, in fact I have news for you, it's about the Nova Legion, and I've found them!"

Sam's eyes widened in disbelief.
