I don't know if it was my laughter that stimulated Flower or Stilwell's words that stimulated Flor, but before my laughter landed, Flower suddenly broke out.

"What's wrong with me picking up Rhodes like this? If it weren't for your refusal to send Rhodes here, would I have run away like this? How many times have I seen you in the last year? Does it add up to one day? Aside from Christmas and unsolvable troubles, would you ever set foot in this house! You don't want to accompany me and Ruth, I want Rhodes to accompany us more old couple, you have to be anxious with me? Are you planning for me and your mother to die and rot in this house! ”

Stilwell's face changed suddenly, and he sighed lightly after a while, "Dad, I, I'm not this щwwlā I also want to accompany you more, but..."

"It's just too busy, isn't it?"

Stilwell lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong, "It's... I'm sorry Dad, I let you down. ”

Flower's tone suddenly softened, and his voice was a little weak, "Stilwell, you've always been my pride. ”

Stilwell suddenly looked up at Flower in disbelief.

"I haven't said that to you all this time. You've been very good since you were a kid, and you got into EtonHouse and Cambridge on your own. You know, on the day I went to your college graduation ceremony, I was adamant that I had the best son in the world.

And so it is, you never let me down, you inherited the watch shop after graduating from college and did it well, and it took me decades to take over the watch shop from my father and not make it any better. In your hands, it has tripled in size in recent years. ”

"But ah, people always want to be accompanied when they get old. Ruth and I, an old man and an old lady, live in this house like the hour and minute hands on a clock, and if we don't have a vibrant second with us, we might never go away one day. ”

Flower patted Stilwell on the shoulder and sighed softly, "If you want to take Rhodes away, take it, I won't pick him up like this again." In the future, remember to take him to see me and your mother more often, and don't let us wait until Christmas. Half a year is too long, whether it is me or Ruth, there are not many and a half years of time in the bank. ”

Stilwell's eyes reddened, "Dad, that's not what I meant. I'm not here to take Rhodes away. ”

Flower's eyes lit up, "Didn't you come to take Rhodes away?" If you dare to be affectionate, then you can get busy. Pay attention to safety on the way back, I will send Rhodes to kindergarten on Monday, bye bye and remember to come home for dinner when you are free. ”

Stilwell was stunned and looked at Flor, who had suddenly changed his painting style and was now pushing himself towards the door, and couldn't say a word for a long time

"Smack"

After pushing Stilwell out of the house, Flower closed the door, clapped his hands and walked back to me with a smug smile and a triumphant gesture, "That's it, the enemy has been driven out of the base camp." ”

I couldn't cry or laugh, "I said, is it really good for you to cheat your son like this?" ”

Flower said lightly: "How can I cheat him, what I say is from my heart." It's true, and I do owe Stilwell a word that you're my pride. In many ways, Stilwell was a good son. It's just that I'm not greedy enough, and I want him to have a successful career and spend more time with me and Ruth. ”

I laughed and said, "That's why you've come up with such a way to make Stilwell feel guilty and let him know what you're thinking?" It looks like the weekends in Rhodes will be with you for a long time to come. ”

Flower suddenly smiled, "Not only that, maybe that bastard will get me another grandson or granddaughter out." By then, Rhodes was in middle school, and Ruth and I would still have someone to accompany us. ”

I wordlessly glanced at Flor, who was probably caught up in some kind of picture, and silently added an old and indecent label behind the Flor column in my heart. The label of Flauer in my heart is that he is an old naughty boy who has not slipped away.

Ruth and Rhodes came down from the upper floor at this time, and when they saw Rhodes Flor, they smiled and said, "We have defeated a strong enemy, and in order to celebrate this victory, we will go out to eat tonight, Rhodes, tell me what do you want to eat?" ”

Rhodes didn't hesitate to "Nando's!" ”

With a smile, Flower picked up Rhodes and put it on his shoulder, laughing and trotting out of the house, "Okay, that's it." Let's go! ”

Ruth walked up to me and smiled gratefully at me, "Thank you, Richard." ”

I was a little confused, "Thanks... Thank me? Thank me? ”

Ruth smiled gently, "I heard what Flower said just now. I know Flower's temper very well, and if it weren't for you, Flower wouldn't have said that. So I want to thank you, let's go, please go eat fried chicken. ”

With that, Ruth walked towards the door. I stood still and didn't understand what Ruth meant, scratching my head and muttering, am I that useful?

After getting out of the house and getting into the car, Flower drove towards the nearest Nando's. Nando's is a brand in the United Kingdom, and it seems that there is no store in China because of some reasons from the founder of this brand, so there is no official Chinese translation of this brand now.

Nando's, is a chain of restaurants specializing in grilled chicken. This restaurant is very popular in the UK, and it is recognized all over the world that British food is not available, and a single dish of fish and chips can last half the sky. If you have to say that you can recommend the food to sell, then it is estimated that only this Nando's yakiniku chicken chain is left.

Nando's can be found everywhere in the UK, and it wasn't long before one was found on the side of the road. Nando's signboard is very simple, that is, the words Nando's with a red note on the black door frame, and there is no logo like Starbucks KFC. When I walked into the store, I found that the furnishings were no different from those of ordinary fast food restaurants, and the only thing that caught my attention was the dozen or so bottles of sauce placed behind the clerk.

Nando's roast chicken can be selected whole, 1/2, or 1/4 depending on the number of people, and Flower asked for a whole roast chicken and some snacks such as chips. On top of that, Rhodes also clamored for an ice cream.

Nando's Ice Cream Maker and Beverage Dispenser are operated by customers themselves, so they can refill both ice cream and beverages without limits. Rhodes got the ice cream box and pulled me towards the ice cream machine without saying a word, asking me to hold him for the ice cream.

After a few moments I understood why Rhodes wanted me to accompany him to get the ice cream instead of Ruth or Flor, the little guy could take enough at once to get enough of someone else three times! If Flower or Ruth had come, he wouldn't have been able to take that much.

I helplessly looked at Rhodes who was carefully holding up the ice cream and staring at the crumbling tip of the ice cream without moving, "Rhodes, you don't need to take so much, you can eat it and take it again." ”

Rhodes pouted disdainfully, "Come on, grandpa will let me get it again at most." If I don't take more, it won't look like I'm stupid. ”

Me: "......"
