Chapter 86: Relatives and Family
"Oh—"
Pirlo rolled the bruises on his face with a shelled hard-boiled egg, and Sean moved his arms to him, clicking, and howling in pain, "Stinky boy, you must have done it on purpose!" You don't hit someone in the face, you elbow me in the face-"
"That's ...... Is it really okay? ”
Angelina looked at a father and a son with a look of surprise and rubbed their faces with eggs, and shook her head a little incredulously, "I really don't know what happened just now, why did Sean and his uncle come in with injuries all over their bodies, and they really don't need me to call the police or call the doctor?" ”
"Angelina?"
"Yes, Mr. Decaux—"
"Call me Deco, or call me Old Cross, I like people to call me that." Old Cross took a sip of a glass of whiskey, smiled and waved his hand, "This is the tradition of our Cross family. Only real men can survive in a harsh environment. Sean has been practicing basic skills since he was 10 years old, and since then, this troublemaker has been beaten every day. You know, there is a saying in China that the stick produces filial piety......"
“……”
Angelina had a hard time understanding this, but she thought there might be a reason why Sean wasn't coming home. At the same time, he glanced sympathetically at Sean beside him, this guy's childhood was as sad as hell.
The dinner was very generous, the appetizer chose the common American cheese with biscuits and chocolate, and for dessert, Lao Mei had no resistance.
Then charcoal steak, beef stewed potato, ham, tortellini, mashed potatoes, salmon grilled in milk sauce, oysters, carrots, pudding, cakes, hot and cold with meat and vegetables, all set up on a long table, absolutely enough.
"Thank you, Heavenly Father, for giving me food and clothing; Thank you, Jesus. Give me spiritual food; Pray that the Holy Spirit will dwell in my heart forever, Amen! ”
After the pre-meal prayers, the people moved the utensils.
Sean put away the cross on his chest and set his hands on the steak in front of him.
More than 80 percent of American families are Christians, and the denomination that Americans believe in is generally Christianity, which is called Protestantism in the United States and the West, and Catholicism is called the Old Church. The United States can be said to be the stronghold of Protestantism, and countless Americans believe in Protestantism.
Sean's family is no exception, and as of Italian descent, they are more religious, although Sean once wiped the cross with stockings. But back home, Sean became the most devout of the faithful, following his grandfather and father in prayer before dinner.
"Sean, welcome home." Old Cross picked up his wine glass and squinted his eyes and smiled, then glanced at Angelina next to him, "You are also welcome to be a guest, Angelina." ”
"It's an honor—" Angelina raised her glass and took a sip.
The atmosphere of the dinner was not particularly cheerful, but it seemed very warm. The three men talked about the current situation from time to time, as if they were friends. Sean's father, Pirlo, doesn't usually live here, and his residence is in town.
But tonight, the three men sat by the fireplace and drank together.
"Angelina is a good girl—" Old Cross looked at Angelina, who was there to teach Little Faith to stand, and looked back at Sean, and quipped, "And she's a sexy and beautiful woman, isn't she?" ”
"Of course, but I don't think about the relationship right now, the two of us just think each other feels good. The rest hasn't been thought about yet. You know, I haven't seen my heart yet. I hope that I will focus on my career in the past two years. ”
Sean took a sip of wine and looked at Pirlo on the side with a smile, "How are you doing, Dad, I heard that you killed all sides in the billiard hall in the town?" ”
"This must be from the damn old Duke......" Pirlo shrugged drunkenly, looking casual, "You know, I wanted to be a professional snooker player, and it didn't matter to me at all-"
"By the way, I met a sheriff named Smith in Los Angeles, and he mentioned you." Sean poured a glass of wine for Daddy Pirlo, "He said it was your comrade-in-arms. ”
"Smith and I called. He and I were best friends, and we went into the army together, and I didn't have a good impression of him at first, you know, I didn't have clan discrimination but I didn't really like slackers, and you know, black people aren't very industrious. But Smith is different, he is a very responsible guy. We slowly became good friends and became the best partners...... I saved his life once at that time, but he also helped me, and it was kind of a deal. We are the best brothers! ”
As if reminiscing about the past, a faint smile flashed on Pirlo's mature and handsome face.
"It was a terrible time, we were commanded by stupid people, and the country in the East beat us to the point of urine...... You know, this is the second time that the United States has lost at their hands. It has nothing to do with us soldiers. All I can say is that it was a false war. "When it comes to the war, Pirlo doesn't have a good attitude.
"And the U.S. government hasn't completely solved the legacy of the war, and many veterans can't guarantee their lives, you know, we've been serving this country, but those in power in this country have turned a blind eye!"
"War is a mistake in the first place, but it is an extension of the political interests of politicians—"
Old Cross smiled slightly, "The same is true of World War II, but if it weren't for World War II, I wouldn't know my wife, and I wouldn't have you." I'm an Italian Yankee not very close to Poland. ”
"That's right, the battle array is indeed an extension of the interests of the-raisers. But it's also a stage for us soldiers to show themselves, and it's where I get to know your mother, Sean—"
"My mother?" Sean was stunned for a moment, only then did he hear that his father and mother had met in Vietnam and fell in love at first sight.
"That's right, your mother ......" Pirlo confirmed Sean's words, took a sip of wine, and his face was a little pale, "Kate is a Red Cross volunteer, and we fell in love at first sight." I happened to be wounded at that time, and she saved me. In my eyes, she is a kind angel. ”
"It seems that this is a very romantic story-" Sean smiled and raised his glass to touch his father, "An American GI of Italian descent met an innocent and kind Chinese-British mixed-race beauty, a romantic encounter, isn't it?" I think it's like a movie......"
Sean really didn't expect his parents to be so romantic.
"It's a handsome guy of mixed race from Italy and Poland who meets a beautiful woman of mixed Chinese and British descent. Although we are of Italian descent, your grandmother is of Polish descent, an authentic Pole. Your grandmother is Chinese, and your grandfather is an Englishman! Speaking of his maternal grandfather, his father Pirlo seemed very unhappy, and at the same time took the initiative to end this introduction.
Sean accompanied his father Pirlo and grandfather Deco to sit by the fireplace and drink, talking and laughing, arguing, bland, reminiscing and sighing.
This made Sean particularly relaxed, never feeling this relaxed.
That's probably what home feels like. It's reassuring.
Nothing was said all night.
This night, Sean felt like he was sleeping very soundly. Putting away the worries and stress, it's very relaxing. Holding Angelina in his arms, the two of them didn't do or have sex for the first time.
When Sean woke up, he saw a dog's face intimately and constantly offering himself, and when he saw Sean open his eyes, the little guy licked Sean's face excitedly, looking very lively. Not as listless as yesterday.
"Oh, faith, don't lick my face!"
"Damn, you can't do that, Shet, I don't like your saliva-" Sean's helpless voice and New Year's dog barking came from the room.
When Sean walked out of the bathroom with a little faith, he saw Angelina frying eggs there with an apron, not very skillful, but decent. It has a very warm feeling.
"Try Angelina's breakfast, it tastes pretty good." Old Cross took the milk and winked at Sean with a smile, and the prepared breakfast was on the table in front of him.
"I told her she was a good girl!"
Picking up a slice of bread casually, Sean took a bite and couldn't help nodding, "It tastes really great!" ”
After sitting down and taking a sip of milk, he noticed that no one else was there except for Old Cross, and he couldn't help but wonder, "What about Pirlo?" Didn't he stay here last night? Why didn't you see him? Haven't you gotten up yet? ”
"He's gone to town, you know, it's Christmas tomorrow, so we've got a lot of stuff to prepare. I'll go there in the afternoon......" Old Cross smiled and pointed to the newspaper in his hand, "This is the movie you mentioned, right?" Good box office! ”
After taking the newspaper, Sean saw the news of "60 Seconds".
"The box office exceeded 100 million in 60 seconds, and Nicolas Cage beat Arnold Schwarzenegger!" This is the New York Times article.
Sure enough, as Sean expected, Arnold Schwarzenegger's new film "Doomsday" did not achieve very good results, and his comeback did not reach the expected goal. Now the newspapers are not very optimistic about Schwarzenegger's comeback.
On the contrary, although "Speed 60" was not a big hit, the box office looked good, and it is estimated that the final box office should be a little higher.
"Angelina, let's go to the town to find Duke after eating in a while, and I asked him to go hunting in the mountains together!" Sean put down the newspaper and smiled and handed a slice of ham to Little Faith, and the little guy stood up with a kick, stood tremblingly, and bit down the ham in Sean's hand.
"It's best to prepare warm clothes when you go up the mountain, the weather hasn't been very good lately." Old Cross glanced at the hard-working little faith and smiled, "What a smart and strong little fellow." It's called faith, isn't it? ”
"That's right, I'm going to make it walk upright, and I believe it." As he spoke, Sean guided it to stand on its hind legs. It's hard for small beliefs, but as the name suggests, it requires faith, and nothing is impossible.
Without waiting for Sean to find Duke, Duke and Naya drove the Grand Cherokee to the farm.
