In Regan's restaurant, the four people of Regan, Frank, Linda, and Susan sat at the long table, and there were only four people, and the atmosphere was quiet and serious. Time passed as if only the pendulum clock hanging on the wall of the dining room ticked and ticked.

Frank picked up the coffee cup in his hand and tried to take another sip, only to find that it was now empty. When I wanted to call for plus, I found that the mother and daughter on the other side had no intention of standing up. At this moment, the elder Reagan next to him handed over a square glass with a third of the whiskey poured into it.

Grandpa, "Have a sip of whiskey! ”

When Frank wanted to refuse, his hand unconsciously took it, and he could only take a sip, and immediately a warm, spicy, and stimulating stream of heat ran down his esophagus to his bone marrow.

Frank, "Okay. I admit that I like this young man very much, but I am not ready for him to be my daughter's husband. And Susan, you're still in school. This is not a few decades ago, and few women nowadays get married before college. It made me feel like it was coming too fast. So, is it okay to slow down the process? For example, fall in love first. ”

Susan flashed the colored rope on her finger.

Susan, "But I've said yes." And I think that Du will only choose a partner who may be married, and will not choose a lover who is just sweet. I was very optimistic about this man, so I made what I thought was the right choice. ”

Frank took another sip of wine and looked at Linda across from her, as if hoping she could join his side. Linda ignored him, her eyes determined and smiling.

Frank, "Can I use my power as a father to negate it?"

Susan, "No! As is customary in the Reagan family, I propose to vote." I'm not opposed to calling Daniel and James together. ”

Frank, "Well, you must have your reasons. I'll give you time to express yourself fully. ”

Susan, "Okay! First, Du is a very good and talented person, which I admire and love very much; second, I think Du has a very good detective gene, and if this gene is combined with the genes of the Reagan family, there will definitely be more excellent offspring; third, I am sure that our two future children will have two names, one is the name of Dongliuqiu, called Du Moumou, and the other must be the name of Tang Guo, called So-and-so Regan; fourth, according to the yellow race and the black race, In the case of a Caucasian person who marries and gives birth to a child, the child must be a Caucasian child......"

Grandpa, "I agree!"

Old Reagan did not wait for Susan to finish speaking, and had already made his attitude clear immediately.

Frank, "Father!"

Grandpa, "Isn't that great? Because this kid will only use the name of the soup country, he will only be a member of the Reagan family." And adding excellent detective genes can only make the Reagan family's talent better and better. That's good, isn't it?"

Frank," but first, tell Susan to finish her reasoning. ”

Grandpa, "I think that's enough! ”

Although the elder Reagan looked completely convinced, Frank still demanded that Susan continue.

Susan, "Fifth, New York is a multi-racial city, and in a city where the police chief's family marries with a racial minority, the father will have more support from the citizens. Even if the Reagan family came out of New York City and entered Washington, it was not impossible. Sixth, according to my research, Du Hui is a good husband, responsible, not an alcoholic, and loves his wife and children. Okay, so be it! I've got a lot more to say if I had to say anything, but I think these six are the most important. ”

Grandpa, "So let's vote?" I agree. ”

Old Regan raised his hand early, indicating his attitude. Linda smiled and raised her hand as well. Frank glanced at Susan, who raised her hand as well.

It was a meeting of only 4 people, and now the situation is that whether Frank agrees or not, Susan has emerged victorious. After thinking that even if he called Daniel and James back, he might not be able to seal the victory, so he had to admit Susan's victory.

"Well, I'm not against your marriage to Du!" but I have to warn you that if you want to marry Du, a foreigner like Du, you will have to face a lot of problems besides religion. ”

Susan, "Father, don't worry!

Grandpa, "So, let's have a toast together!"

Old Regan duly poured a glass of whiskey for each of them. Several people looked at each other and smiled, and each picked up his wine glass.

Grandpa, "For the new members of the Reagan family!"

Frank, "For you to be happy!"

Linda, "For Susan's Engagement!"

Susan, "For Du Fair!"

A few people, "Cheers." ”

Several people drank together, and then looked at each other and smiled.

Grandpa, "So all the important things of the Geer people are decided in the whiskey! ”

A jewelry store on one of New York's busiest streets. Du Ping sat in front of a glass cabinet, looking at the beautiful rings in the cabinet, his heart was full of complexity.

Fingers pointed to one of the silver rings, and the waiter, wearing white gloves, smiled and gracefully took them out of the cupboard.

Waiter, "Cabroca, this year's latest design, simple, generous, beautiful, with a unique clover pattern on it, representing luck and blessings. They are definitely the best choice for getting engaged. Sir, are you ready to launch the most important offensive of your life against your lover? Believe me, any woman will be fascinated by this ring when she sees it. ”

"Can I take a look?"

Waiter, "No problem." ”

The waiter handed over a pair of white gloves, and Du Pingping put them on, took the two rings in his hands, and took a closer look. Very beautiful and fashionable, although Du Ping has always thought that he does not have much talent for fashion and jewelry, he can still feel that they are a pair of rings with a lot of heart.

The waiter quickly saw that Du was satisfied.

Waiter, "Sir, don't hesitate! Believe in yourself, there's nothing wrong with that." Rings are just like women, there is always nothing wrong with what they see at first sight. ”

Du Fair, "Okay......"

Du Pingping was about to decide, and when he paid the bill, his mobile phone rang, and he saw that it was Susan's.

Du Fair, "I'm sorry, I have to answer the phone first." ”

After returning the two rings to the waiter, Du Ping answered the phone, and Susan's voice came from the other side of the phone.

Susan, "Du, where are you?" My parents, I hope to invite you to dinner tonight, no problem, right?"

"No problem. Do I need to buy something?"

Susan, "Nothing is needed. Forget it, where you are now, I'll go and look for you. ”

"I'm at the Cabroca fashion jewelry store on 14th Street. ”

Susan, "What are you doing there?"

"I want to buy a pair of engagement rings. ”

Susan, "I don't need to. ”

"No, Susan, this is very important, I want our love to be serious and responsible from beginning to end, so even if it is a small matter, I am not going to deal with it." ”

Susan, "Du, you're so considerate! So, don't buy it yet! I'll go over right away, I'll choose, okay?"

Du fair, "Yes, I'll wait for you." ”

Du Ping closed his phone and looked at the waiter.

"My fiancée will be here in a moment, let's wait a minute." ”

Waiter, "No problem, sir!"

…………………………

At the police station, Daniel closed his phone with a strange face. This aroused the curiosity of his partner Henry.

Henry, "What's the matter, Daniel?" ”

Daniel, "Henry, do you think my sister Susan is old enough to get engaged and married?"

Henry, "Who? Susan? She seems to be very young and hasn't graduated from college yet? Is it because she's pregnant?"

Daniel, "No! Susan wasn't that kind of person. ”

Henry, "Well, let's be honest! If it was 20 years ago, it would have been normal, but girls are more independent now. So Susan has always given the feeling that she is a girl with a lot of ideas and plans. It's really hard to imagine that she would get engaged so early. You're not mistaken, Daniel?"

Daniel, "I hope I'm mistaken, too! Unfortunately, no." ”

Henry, "Well, tell me quickly, is that one lucky fellow who won the favor of our little princess Susan?

Daniel, "It's not Geer, you know that person." ”

Henry, "Not the Gehrs! Why? Susan is the pride of our Gehrs! This will break the hearts of many of the lovely Gehr boys!"

Daniel, "You ask me, who do I ask?"

Henry, "Okay! tell me who he is." Don't tell me he's a, in which case I'll secretly dispose of that guy at night and wipe him out in the Hudson River forever. ”

Daniel, "Not black!"

Henry, "Don't be a ghost, those guys don't have a good bird." ”

Daniel, "Henry, you're racist!"

Henry, "Don't talk to me about racism or non-racism now! It's a big deal about the lifelong happiness of our little princess Susan, so we're going to do our best to get rid of all the unqualified guys." ”

Daniel, "It's Du. ”

Henry, "Who?"

Daniel, "Du, that magical Oriental boy, that young man who has always been close to my sister, the yellow race. ”

Henry, "Is that difficult?"

Daniel, "What's wrong?"

Henry, "I have a good impression of him, and I have a good impression of the Ballus! But I really don't want Susan to marry someone of any other race." Actually, there are a lot of good guys among the Gehr people! Do you want to persuade Susan to reconsider? ”

Daniel looked at Henry with a complicated look in his eyes, "Do you know how I offended the women in my family last time?"

Henry, "I don't know. ”

Daniel, "So I'm not prepared to make a second mistake." ”

…………………………

Dongliuqiu, Tibetan Horse City, 6 o'clock in the morning, because for the people here, it is still dark. A lot of people are still asleep.

At Du Ping's home, the phone rang suddenly.

Father Du, "How could someone call so early in the morning!"

The father, dressed in pajamas, walked to the phone in the living room in a daze.

Father Du, "Hello, this is Du Ping's house. ”

The voice on the phone was quiet for a moment before it came out. It's Du Fair's voice

Du Fair, "Father is me. ”

Father Du, "Fair?"

Du Fair, "Yes. ”

Father Du, "Son, you finally remembered to call us! This is the first call in two months! It's so unfilial!"

"Yes, very, very sorry. ”

Father Du, "If you are really sincere, remember to call more, and there is still time to return to Dongliuqiu." Your mother and sister and I miss you very, very much. Woman, come here, it's a fair call!"

Probably because he hadn't been in touch with his family for too long, Du's father was very excited when he received Du Ping's call, and he didn't even forget to call his wife. Listening to the topic on the other side of the phone, which had been completely deviated by his father, Du Pingping immediately corrected it.

Du Pingping, "Father, I have something serious to say!"

Father Du, "Do you have serious business?" Okay, you can say it." I'll listen carefully. ”

Hearing Du Pingping say on the phone that he had something serious to say, Du Pingping's father immediately stopped using his summoning technique and listened carefully to the microphone.

"I'm getting engaged!"

Father Du, "What, you're getting engaged?"

"Yes, I'm getting engaged." ”

At this time, the mother, who was dressed in pajamas, also came to his father's side, and it was very strange to hear his father's words.

Du Mu, "What happened?"

Du's father left the microphone and whispered to his mother and sternly, "Don't speak! ”

Father Du returned to the microphone again.

"Some time ago, I heard you say that you were talking about love with a girl named Suzuki Sawa. What happened to make you decide to get engaged so early?"

Du Fair, "I have broken up with Sand Feather. ”

Father Du, "Ah!

Du's mother was startled by Du's father's surprise, and hurriedly put her ear close to the microphone and asked in a whisper.

Du Mu, "What happened?"

Father Du glared at Du Ping's mother fiercely, "Don't speak." ”

Father Du adjusted his mood again, returned to the microphone, and said in a serious voice.

Father Du, "Tell me, what did you find? And who are you going to get engaged to, didn't you get engaged to have to get engaged?"

Du's father's words immediately caused Du's mother to be very unhappy.

Du Mu, "How can you talk about a child like that! ”

Du's father, "Isn't this kind of thing very common these days? Many children have to get married early because the woman is pregnant. ”

Du Mu, "We are fair, not that kind of people. ”

Father Du, "This is also normal, it's not a big deal." ”

Du Pingping silently waited for the parents' argument on the other side of the phone to stop before speaking again.

"I was engaged to a female classmate of mine, Tang Guoren, who was white, and her father was the current chief of the New York City Police Department. ”

Du's father was worried, "Son, you really won't do anything unforgivable, right? The other party's family sounds very powerful, you have to be careful! If not, come back quickly." ”

"Father, rest assured, we don't have any inappropriate behaviors and situations. We just love each other. ”

Father Du, "Really?"

Du fair, "Really. ”

Father Du, "I'll put some snacks on this." But don't hide it from us if you have something!"

Du fair, "No. ”

Father Du, "Although it is a little inappropriate to talk about it, but what is the matter with you and that person named Suzuki Sawa? How did you break up? During the Chinese New Year this year, that girl also called us, and she sounded very good." ”

Du fair, "It's nothing, her family is against it, so they broke up." ”

Father Du, "I see! If the family opposes it, there is really no good way." It's a pity, if it's her, how can she be a girl with a ball, we can accept it emotionally. Now she's a Caucasian girl, and it always sounds very worrying!"

"Father, don't worry, Susan is very nice! I will send you her picture when I have time." You'll find out. ”

Father Du, "You must send it!"

Du fair, "Definitely." ”

…………………………

In the evening, the long table in Regan's dining room was filled again. Although the food on the table is not abundant, the atmosphere at the table is very solemn. Finally, Frank moved his body and took the steel spoon on the table and struck the wall of a tall glass in front of him, causing the glass to make a crisp sound.

Frank, "We're together tonight because we're announcing something big tonight. That's our little daughter from the Reagan family, Susan has accepted Du's marriage proposal, and they will be engaged soon. Let's all bless them here!"

Although they had been mentally prepared for a long time, Daniel, Naom, and James all showed shocked expressions. However, the couple at the table didn't care much about their thoughts, Du Ping took out a silver ring with a small diamond from his pocket, and smiled at Susan. Stand up, slowly kneel down on one knee, and present the ring in front of her, which represents his love.

Du Fair, "Susan, I love you!"

Susan happily stretched out her finger, took the five-colored rope, and then showed it to Du Pingping. Du Ping kissed her little hand and gently put on the small diamond ring that he had bought with Susan that afternoon. Susan took the ring box, took out the ring that belonged to the man from it, and helped Du Ping to remove the multicolored rope on his finger and put the ring on. Then carefully put the two colored ropes into the ring box.

Susan, "I'm going to keep this forever!"

Grandpa raised the square cup in his hand high.

Grandpa, "Let's have a toast to the new member of the Reagan family!"

Linda lifted, Frank lifted, James lifted, Daniel lifted, Naomi lifted, and then Du Fair lifted with Susan. Everyone raised their cups and whiskey in their hands.

Grandpa, "Cheers!"

Everyone, "Cheers!"
