Scott helped Ron and Nadya buy train tickets home, and that afternoon, they got on the train home. In the slightly swaying carriage, the night passed quickly. Then, as soon as the three Caucasians, Ron, Nadya, and Scott, got on the bus, a large group of blacks rushed to the back of the car.

Obviously, although Nadya has been in the United States for quite some time, she is already aware of this strange law, but she is still not very used to this situation. "Heinous racism! Capitalism of all evils. A Russian phrase whispered out of her mouth.

Ron could only laugh at this. He knew that while the United States could be washed away by legal equality, according to the law, if a white man sat in the back of the bus, then as soon as a black man got on the bus, he would have to come to the front compartment as well. However, Ron himself did not agree with this apartheid system, so naturally he would not wash the floor of this system. And even if she washes, Nadya, who has been taught by the party, will come out with the phrase "The law forbids the poor and the rich at the same time, with his sacred equality, to beg in the streets and sleep in the streets and bridges."

However, Nadya only complained, and did not really intend to stand up and lead a civil rights movement, but just muttered a word and said nothing more. And it wasn't long before her attention was drawn to the scenery outside.

At this time, the bus was moving along the interstate road, and by this time the car had already driven into the mountains and began to climb higher and higher. The pale green and wet mist outside the car window gradually faded and disappeared. The deep blue sky was revealed, and a silver moon could be seen, but in the eastern sky, a faint morning light was already revealed.

Ron touched Nadya's shoulder, "Hey, look over there!" Below 9 o'clock. At the same time, he reached out and pointed lower.

Nadya didn't immediately figure out what "below 9 o'clock" meant. But Ron's outstretched fingers solved the problem. Looking in this direction, Nadya realized that the morning mist had not dispersed, it was still shrouded in the earth, like a thick quilt, covering the still sleeping earth. I saw the fog dissipate just now, but it was actually just because the car I was in had been? The car had climbed high enough above the mist on the ground.

"It's beautiful!" Nadya said. From the perspective of the present, the whole land is an endless slightly undulating green mist, like the vast sea, and the peaks near and far look like islands floating on the sea.

"Look over there." Ron gestured to the left front of the car. There was a high mountain over there, and it was still dark at the foot of the mountain, but the top part of the mountain was already shining in the sun.

"Over this mountain, we'll be home." Ron grabbed Nadya by the waist and whispered in her ear.

……

The bus bypassed a flaming maple forest and stopped at the side of the road, from where Ron's house could be seen from afar. Ron's mom and dad were already waiting on the side of the road. As soon as the car stopped, they caught up. Yesterday, Ron sent another telegram home, so they're all out now.

As soon as the car stopped, Nadya helped Ron out of the car. Old Sean and Lucy both noticed Ron's unusual gait and the unpretty-looking woman beside him.

"Ron, what's wrong with your leg?" Old Sean spoke first, "And this one, is that Miss Nadya you mentioned?" ”

"Dad, it's nothing. I was just bitten by a small mosquito. Ron deliberately acted like he didn't care, "The doctor said, it's absolutely fine, it's just a little inconvenient for a short time." Well, it's my girlfriend Nadya. This is my adjutant, Scott. Well, Nadya, this is my dad - an old stubborn. This is the big beauty of my mom Ms. Lucy. There are two ...... left," Ron then began to introduce Nadya to his family.

"I know, these two kids must be Katie and Mary." Nadya squatted down, stretched out her hand and touched the little faces of the two little girls, "You guys are so cute." Let me guess, well, you're the older one," Nadya patted the taller one on the left, "You're Katie." He touched the face of the shorter girl again, "You're Mary." Right? ”

"How do you know?" The shorter girl replied.

"Stupid, that's because I'm taller than you, so I'm my sister."

"Mom said, I'm not stupid, and I'll be taller than you in the future!" Little Mary pouted and retorted.

"Now you're just not as tall as me!" Katie said, then turned back to Nadya, "Hello Auntie! Auntie is so beautiful! ”

"Okay, it's windy outside, let's go inside and talk." Shaun Sr. said.

……

Ron's return home this time made the old Sean and Lucy couple happy and sad. Happily, the son not only came back with a gold star on his shoulder, but also brought back a beautiful girlfriend; The sad thing is that the son is obviously wounded, and according to him, he will not be able to stay at home for a few days, and may have to go back to the front in a few days.

However, everyone suppressed these worries and unhappiness in their hearts, and only showed a happy spirit. Lucy tossed Ron aside, took Nadya's hand, and talked endlessly.

"Mom! You can't be a traitor like that. Can you not talk about the things I did when I was a kid! And don't sell my sovereignty casually, okay! "I heard my mother talking to Nadya about her childhood, such as "I was careless since I was a child, and I often buttoned it wrong when I was a child", what "I once put both legs in one trouser and looked for my other leg everywhere, and cried to my mother that my leg is missing", what ...... Well, it's not a glorious thing anyway, and in the end, my mother has to add: "This stupid boy has been worrying people from the bottom, but fortunately, now it's okay, finally someone can take over my class and take care of him." Ron is a good boy, but sometimes he loves to be naughty, so he has to spank when he should be spanked, and he can't be used to him......"

Oh my God, that's even more unusual, even saying things like "you have to spank when it's time to spank"! Ron hurriedly added, "Mom! I'm your son! ”

At this time, Ms. Lucy raised her head, held the reading glasses on the bridge of her nose, and said slowly, "Of course I do." Is there anyone in the world who knows you better than I do? I know that none of your faults can be fixed, and I can only talk to Nadya if I talk to you, of course, I can only talk to Nadya......"

At this time, Nadya also raised her head, smiled mischievously at Ron, and waved her small fist lightly. Ron was so angry that he was ruthless in his heart: "I must beat this little girl's ass hard in the future!" ”

Since there is no way to stop my mother from continuing to sell her territorial sovereignty, the only way to change the topic is to hurry up.

"Mom and Dad, what about Big Brother? How is he now? Ron said.

"I'll be back from work in two hours. What else could he do? It's good, life is very regular, and your sister-in-law takes good care of him. Unlike you, you've liked to mess around since you were a child, and it's not worrying at all. ”

Sure enough, Ms. Lucy was fooled, and the conversation immediately shifted to a direction that wasn't particularly uncomfortable. However, seeing that his mother's last sentence had the intention of continuing to accuse himself, Ron hurriedly asked again: "Is there any news about the second brother?" ”

Ron didn't expect much when he asked this. He knew that his second brother had gone to the guerrilla zone in China, where news would not be easy to come back. Generally speaking, as long as there is news of the second brother, my father and mother will mention it in the letter to me, and I didn't mention it in the last letter. It's only been two weeks, and it stands to reason that there shouldn't be any new news.

However, this question made my father and mother excited.

"Don't say it, your second brother really has new news. God is so good! Just yesterday, he asked someone to give us a place called something from where he is in China......"

"Shandong!" Ms. Lucy added.

"Yes, it's Shandong! From there he sent us a letter, along with some very small dates and a very rotten broken pistol. Dates are nice and sweet. Even long gold wires can be pulled out when they are torn apart...... Lucy, go get some of that thing out and give it to Nadya and Ron to taste. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot!" Lady Lucy stood up and said to Nadya, "You wait here, I'll go get the dates." Then he walked in the direction of the kitchen, and the two little girls immediately followed, shouting as they ran: "Nǎinǎi, we want to eat too!" ”

"That's great news!" Ron said. Since the start of the war, in this family, the second brother has been uneasy: the eldest brother is an engineer, and the possibility of accidents is very small, although Ron is on the front line, he is now a senior commander, and the possibility of dying in battle is already very small, so there is no need to worry. Only the second child went to the guerrilla zone to fight guerrillas, and in that kind of place, the enemy must have the upper hand. Fighting there, or such a different Caucasians, God, it's scary to think about old Sean!

"This bad boy also has a letter saying that he is doing well in Shandong and is not dangerous at all. It's exaggerated, but I'm afraid this kid is blowing nonsense. Ron, you're a senior officer, you can help me see how much water is in this bad boy's letter, squeeze it out for me! ”

Old Sean stood up, went to a cupboard, pulled open a drawer, took out a stack of letters from the bottom, looked for it, and took out one of the thickest ones. He also took out a pistol in a holster.

"This is the letter from the second child, and this gun, and the second child said that he got it from Rì himself. The gun sucks and misfires easily, but don't worry about it now, its firing pin somehow broke on the way back. I'll show you all ......."
