Chapter 44: "Cunning" Wyatt
Lird was already accustomed to the scene in front of him, and he did not feel uncomfortable about it, but was very happy to see this kind of beating and scolding, which made him feel a rare warmth of home.
Two years of life had allowed Lird to integrate into this family life, and in his eyes the Wyatts were already his family.
Wyatt sipped his coffee and said, "Jenny was really not like this when she was a child, she always played quietly with dolls in the garden with two cute pigtails, and from a distance she looked like a little princess on the phone, which was really attractive." But the last two yearsβ" A cloud of sorrow appeared on Mr. Wyatt's face.
"That honest good boy has changed unconsciously, and has become the crazy appearance he is now all day long, and I really don't know what things are taught in school! I really can't figure out what is the use of a girl dealing with rubble and clods of earth every day after going to college in the past two years! I'm not an old-fashioned opponent of women's power in the new era, but isn't it good for a girl to be a civilian quietly when she graduates? When she graduates, I can arrange for her to join the newspaper..."
Mrs. Wyatt smiled and patted the back of Wyatt's hand and said, "Honey, you look like this every morning, but it affects your appetite very much, even if your work doesn't affect you, the children still have to go to school in a while." β
Mr. Wyatt coughed lightly, and then said to Lird, "Sorry, child, eat quickly, the milk will be cold in a moment." β
Lird smiled and said, "Rest assured, sir, although Jenny's personality is now a little more lively, she has a very clear plan for her future life, and I think she will definitely be as 'stable' as you think after this period." β
Wyatt pursed his lips and said, "It's better to be like this." After saying that, a relieved smile appeared on Wyatt's face, and Mrs. Wyatt couldn't help but smile at Lird when she saw it in her eyes: "Your uncle still listens to you the most, even if I say anything about Jenny, he won't listen to anything, but you are different, every time he can feel at ease, if you look to others you are more like your uncle's own son." β
Lird smiled: "Where, Uncle is just too concerned about Jenny, so he is in a hurry..."
At this moment, a hearty voice sounded: "Hmph, it's nothing, he just cares about the reputation of his Wyatt family, what he cares about is his reputation as a Wyatt gentleman, it's really humiliating to have a daughter like me, I think he must have recently wanted to send me to the nun college and let me do the black and white world to chant and pray all the time." β
As he spoke, a young girl in a tight casual suit walked into the dining room, and then sat down beside Lird, who was Wyatt's only daughter, Jenny.
Wyatt, who had just been in a better mood, couldn't help but change his face when he saw his daughter, and returned to his previous heaviness again, which not only made Lird feel very helpless.
Mr. Wyatt put down the coffee cup in his hand heavily and said: "Look at the way you look now, how can you have a little girl's graceful temperament, wearing long clothes and trousers all day long, even the female soldiers of the Soviet Union know to wear skirts." β
Jenny shook her head indifferently, then grabbed a slice of bread and said, "Then you can send me to the front, so you can see me in my dress." β
"You!" Wyatt froze.
"Ahem. Lird coughed lightly, and then lightly bumped Jenny with his leg.
Jenny turned her head to look at Lird and said, "Why are you touching me? You have to find out which side you are on, now the general environment is grim, see the situation clearly and choose a good camp, don't misjudge because the Axis is strong for a while, justice is your best partner." β
Lird coughed lightly again in some embarrassment, and said, "I don't occupy any side, I'm here for breakfast." β
Jenny snorted coldly, then looked at Wyatt quite defiantly and said, "Dad, don't try to oppress me, even the people you admire the most dare not clearly stand on your side." β
Wyatt snorted coldly, grabbed the newspaper in front of him, and ignored the daughter who worried him.
Seeing this, Jenny took a sip of milk rather proudly, and then winked mischievously at Lird on the side, to which Lird could only smile bitterly.
Faced with this somewhat embarrassing atmosphere, only Mrs. Wyatt came out to mediate, Mrs. Wyatt said: "Jenny, you are not too old, you can't speak so unruly, it's okay at home, neither Lird nor the servant is an outsider, but if it is to be replaced by other occasions, your behavior will make people laugh and be generous." β
Jenny pursed her lips and muttered, "Got it." β
Mrs. Wyatt added, "Eat breakfast as soon as you know, you will be up late, and you will be ready to eat if you don't move quickly, and I don't want to be approached by your university professor to talk about being late." β
Jenny shook her head, as if she had understood, and then looked around casually, suddenly realizing something, and said, "Strange, what about Grandmother Marge, has she finished her breakfast so quickly?"
The grandmother of Marg in Jenny's mouth is none other than Lird's grandmother.
Lird was also suspicious of his grandmother's absence this morning, but for some reason he was not able to ask, and now Jenny mentioned that Lird also looked at the Wyatts with questioning.
Wyatt put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "Grandmother Marg said that she was not feeling well in the morning, so she would skip breakfast, and I had asked the maid to bring her pastries and black tea later. β
"When my grandmother and I were in Poland before, she sometimes didn't eat, saying that it would work out the stomach and intestines better, so there was no need to worry. β
Having said that, there was a faint heaviness in Lird's heart, and Mr. Wyatt was also heavy.
After a pause, Mr. Wyatt said, "That... Liard, you and Jenny came back late from school last night, so I urged you to go to bed early, but something did happen yesterday. β
Hearing this, Liard's heart moved, and he immediately looked at Wyatt, who paused and said, "Yesterday I received a letter from Poland. β
Leard's eyes lit up, and he immediately realized that the letter must have come from his hometown, and his grandmother's search finally came to him.
"What does the letter say?" said Lird, hurriedly.
Wyatt shook his head and said, "We didn't read the contents of the letter, but gave it to Grandmother Marge, and we were very excited to see her, but... After reading the letter, his expression changed... It's a very bad change. β
Hearing this, Lird's face immediately became heavy.
Wyatt said: "I think the letter must have told some very bad things, after all, the German army has been doing it in the past two years..."
In fact, in the past two years, Lird has imagined more than once the scene that will happen after the German occupation of his hometown, and whenever he sees the heinous brutality on the newspaper broadcast, Lird can't help but wonder if this will happen to those of his own people, and that kind of scene makes him feel suffocated with fear.
At this time, Mr. Wyatt said: "Misfortune will happen, but I hope you can be strong, after all, the misfortune that has happened is irreparable, but the living must always have hope." Leard nodded, and he wanted to visit his grandmother at once, but was stopped by Mr. Wyatt.
"Grandmother Marg must not have rested well last night, so you should not disturb her at this time, and give her more time to digest the sorrow in her heart. I would contact Dr. Gus at noon, but he would come over and help Grandmother Marge. At the same time, you and Jenny will come back early today to accompany the elderly, and those dispensable club activities will be pushed back. β
After listening to Wyatt's suggestion, Lird nodded and said, "Excuse me." Even Jenny on the side hummed, revealing a rare well-behavedness.
At this time, Mrs. Wyatt said: "Okay, okay, nothing big happened, the atmosphere should not be so heavy, let me look really uncomfortable, the time is not early, you should also leave for school quickly, otherwise the driver will have to wait in a hurry." β
Lird and Jenny nodded their heads, and after quickly eating the last bite of their meal, they got up and left.
After the two young men left, Mrs. Wyatt, who had always been dignified and elegant, sighed and said, "Whew, I finally left, I was under a lot of pressure just now." β
Wyatt nodded, reloading the newspaper and tossing it aside, not serving his coffee, just frowning.
Mrs. Wyatt looked at Wyatt and said, "You said Mrs. Marg... Can you survive this time..."
Wyatt's brows became a little heavier and said: "It's hard to say, the blow of this incident is really too big for her, if I knew the content of that letter, I wouldn't have handed it over to her, this is my mistake!"
Mrs. Wyatt took her husband's hand in distress and said, "You have done nothing wrong, you have done everything well." β
Mr. Wyatt shook his head and said, "No, I would be very guilty if something really happened to Lady Marg. Well, I thought it would make her happy if she got in touch with her Polish homeland, but I didn't..."
Mrs. Wyatt didn't say anything more, but squeezed her husband's hand harder.
Wyatt smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine." I asked the doctor to come and have a look today, and if it doesn't work, I will arrange for his hospitalization immediately, in short, to avoid all accidents. Mrs. Wyatt nodded in relief.
After a moment of silence, Mrs. Wyatt chuckled, "Leard's boy is really very good. β
A smile immediately appeared on Lird Wyatt's face at the mention of Liard.
"Needless to say, Lird is arguably the best young man I've ever met. β
Mrs. Wyatt smiled when she heard this: "This evaluation is really not low, I still remember that when you were young, you were very empty-eyed and had nothing to do." β
Wyatt shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm the same now, it's just that Liard's excellence can be recognized by me." β
Mrs. Wyatt laughed and said, "So, do you want to be your son-in-law with this excellent young man?"
Wyatt was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You... How do you see that I have this in mind?"
Mrs. Wyatt laughed, "Because I have eyes, and fortunately I'm not a fool." β
Wyatt scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "Is it so obvious?"
Mrs. Wyatt laughed, "It can only be said that it is too obvious, and I can tell you unmistakably that everyone in the entire manor but the stupid young man can see what you are thinking." β
Wyatt shrugged helplessly and smiled, "Well, it seems that I did express it a little explicitly." β
Mrs. Wyatt said, "It's okay, but I also approve of what you have done, after all, I also recognize your point of view, Lird is really a very responsible and excellent young man." β
After receiving his wife's approval, Wyatt was also much more relaxed, took a sip of the coffee that had been cold, and said: "Before I accepted the plea to welcome Leard, I thought it would be a superfluous burden, but when I actually met him, I realized that this young man definitely has extraordinary talent and future, which is not something that can be shown in his words and deeds, but in his eyes, there is a kind of... Something that can change the future. β
Mrs. Wyatt laughed and laughed, "Your analogy is so abstract that I think it is not so much a compliment to Leard's excellence as to your insight." β
Wyatt laughed: "This is naturally also very important, you must know that there is an old Chinese saying: Maxima is common, but Bole is not." β
Mrs. Wyatt said, "You are the Bole?"
Wyatt nodded and said: "In the past two years of getting along, I have been more sure of the original idea, I have witnessed his growth, and I will also find out his character, I dare to use all my life to swear that Lird is a person who can be completely relied on." β
Mrs. Wyatt raised her eyebrows and said, "Entrusted?"
Wyatt nodded and said, "That's right, after Leard's graduation in two years, I will arrange for him to join my company, and after a few years of training, I will be ready to entrust my business to him." β
Mrs. Wyatt said, "Are you willing to give everything to someone who is not related to you by blood?"
Mr. Wyatt said: "Naturally I don't want to, but there is no way, after all, Jenny is by no means a candidate, and with her character, I am afraid that the company will not even survive this war in her hands, and it is the best choice to hand it over to Lird." β
Mrs. Wyatt thought for a moment, then nodded sympathetically.
Wyatt's face also showed a slight sly smile and said, "Of course, I'm always a little unwilling to do this, but if these are handed over to my son-in-law... Hehe, I'm so much more comfortable. β
Mrs. Wyatt laughed when she heard this, and then said, "Then pray to God from now on that everything will be as you wish." β
