The hometown whispers and hometown dishes in the room make people feel at home all of a sudden, and they also make people quickly integrate into the family atmosphere.

Su Qing spoke a dialect in the northern part of Province F, which was slightly different from the others, and she quickly put aside all discomfort and quickly found her place in this big family.

Watching the girl show her cooking skills in the kitchen, watching the girl laugh with every child, Cheng Mengqiu's heart gradually let go.

When the sumptuous family banquet was about to begin, Cheng Mengqiu called out to the girl who was busy back and forth between the dining room and the kitchen.

"Kids. Would you like to have a stick of incense with me? I'm an old-school guy and I've been in this habit for so many years. But I never made incense with my children. Would you like to join me, an old man, in repaying your vows? Cheng Mingyang's face was full of kindness.

"I do. Grandpa Cheng. We also offer incense in the mountains during the big gatherings. Su Qing smiled. She untied her apron from her waist.

A separate room is dedicated to a Buddhist shrine and fills the room with the scent of sandalwood.

"Kids. Although those of us believe in Jesus, we are still more devout to Mazu in our hearts. Crossing the dreaded ocean to come here, missing our relatives on the other side of the ocean every day, the words from our hearts can only be said to Mazu. She will give us peace of mind, and she will make us face all the difficulties that come our way. Cheng Mingyang stood in front of the Buddha shrine with a reverent face, and carefully lit three incense sticks.

Respectfully return, respectfully prostrate, respectfully inserted into the candlestick in front of the tabernacle.

"Grandpa Cheng, it's my turn." Su Qing waited until the old man had completed all the rituals before breaking the silence.

"No, kid. You're a young man, and you shouldn't have such stereotypes as me. Moreover, you haven't experienced the dangers of the ocean, so you don't really honor Mazu. I don't want you to ask Mazu for her protection with trepidation. Children, you should belong to the happy generation. Cheng Mingyang stretched out his hand to stop the girl who was walking towards the Buddhist shrine. His eyes were on the girl's face.

Su Qing had a touch of relaxation, a touch of respect that was difficult to hide.

"I didn't expect Grandpa Cheng to be so open-minded. Then I'll do as I was told. Su Qing bowed slightly towards the Buddhist shrine.

"Don't call me grandpa. They all call me Cheng Bo. Your mom too. I'm used to being called Cheng Bo, and it makes me feel familiar. Moreover, Cheng Bo is a banner for our smuggling group. I'm proud of that title. The proudest thing in my life is to help the children leave that country that was plagued by sports and confusion. I gave them their dreams. Even though my country is now rich and strong, I don't do such things anymore, but I still like it. The old man sighed.

Su Qing listened quietly, she kept smiling and respectful.

"Kid, am I nagging? Don't force it, if you don't like to listen to me, you have to say these things that you haven't experienced at all. You are my most special child and I will fulfill any request you may have. And, I promise not to get angry. The old man smiled. The wrinkles on the face instantly become more striking.

Su Qing still smiled and shook her head slightly.

The old man shook his head slightly.

"Alas! Of all the people who smuggled in, only your mother was the pain of my life. I gave hope to all and a chance to live the American dream, and only your mother was unfortunate because of me. Xiaofu washes her face with tears all day long, just because she is separated from you in life and death. She never cared about the American dream, she only had you in her world. There is only remorse and apologies. Child, do you understand the purpose of Uncle Cheng by saying this? The old man's eyes lit up.

Su Qing still nodded slightly. She gestured with a smile again.

The old man sighed. A bitterness began to grow in his smile.

"Kid,。。。 Look more in the United States, walk more, and you will understand your mother's hard work, you. You will be even more proud to have such a mother. Well, I'll make you smile. People are always chattering when they get older. Let's go eat. I can't wait to try your hand. Hehe... The old man's tone became more and more hesitant, and he simply changed the subject.

"Uncle Cheng, I am proud to be able to show my craft. I hope you enjoy my hometown cooking. Su Qing finally had a cheerful expression.

The old man nodded, and he looked deeply at the girl in front of him.

The girl met the old man's scrutiny, a smile on her face.

"Today is a pure family feast, and it's all my family. I'm so happy today that our child Kerr is finally reunited with us. We have waited for this day for twenty-five years. Twenty-five years, I... We should be happy. Come, let's raise a glass, for Kerr, for our Xiaofu. Cheers! The old man stood in front of the table, his mouth drooling with excitement, and his voice trembled.

Everyone at the table raised their glasses, and their eyes were on the girl.

"Thank you. Thank you for making me feel at home. Cheers! The girl's gaze collided with everyone.

"Okay. Kerr's cooking really has hometown characteristics. This rice wine is so good. The old man chewed a fried clam and indulged in intoxication.

"Haha. Thank you, Uncle Cheng. As long as you like, I will always make it for you to eat. Su Qing had a playful laugh.

"Hehe, okay. But Kevin will be distressed. You'd better make it up to him. It's not easy for him to live alone all these years. The old man turned to Kevin Lu in laughter.

The girl glanced at Kevin Lu beside her.

"Uncle Cheng. I have a reluctant request. I want to stay in your home temporarily. I want to experience the life of an American family. I don't know if you want to? The girl was quick to respond.

"Hmm?。。。 Many Chinese who have just arrived in the United States choose to live in American families, and we welcome them. How much more are you our child? But... Kevin, do you agree? The old man obviously hesitated, and he turned to Kevin Lu.

"Uncle Cheng, this is my first wish, don't you even want to fulfill my first wish? No, you have to say yes. The girl reached out and put her arm around the old man. She was thrust into the old man's arms.

"Good, good. I agreed. The room you choose. I asked my daughter-in-law Ah Zhen to arrange it for you. The old man agreed, and his eyes looked at Kevin Lu.

Kevin Lu smiled bitterly. He nodded frequently.

The wine table gradually became lively. The children began to run impatiently, adding to the atmosphere of the family feast.

"Kevin, follow me." At the moment of dismissal, the old man exchanged words softly.

Walking into the study, the old man sat behind the desk.

"Close the door." The old man's expression suddenly became serious.

"Old man, why do you have to come here to talk about it? Su Qing just arrived here, and she was very sensitive. Kevin Lu stood at the table with confusion in his eyes.

"What have you done since you met your mom yesterday? How is Kerr doing? There was a rush in the old man's tone.

"Yesterday I walked with her near Long Beach. We went to see the Queen Mary cruise. Today we went to the aquarium. She loves the aquarium. Prefer the sandy beaches and seagulls of Long Beach. She's having a lot of fun. Kevin Lu couldn't hide his excitement.

"Really? Did she mention her mom? "The old people hardly give the young people a chance to breathe.

“。。。 Uncle Cheng, Ke'er has had no mother since she was a child. Mother was a foreign concept in her world. I mentioned my mother several times, and she changed the subject. I understand her, give her time, let her adjust to these changes that are confusing her. Kevin Lu said his conclusion in a deep groan.

"Hmmm... You're right, we can't rush it... Kevin, are you sure she's ... Love you? The old man slowed his pace, his tone suddenly hesitant, and his brow furrowed slightly.

Kevin Lu was visibly stunned for a moment, his eyes met the old man's.

“。。。 Uncle Cheng, why are you so confused? From the moment Kerr and I left S City, I was sure that she and I were single-minded. With her personality, she came out of Ning Feiyang's affairs in order to find a new life. If she doesn't love me, she will never leave China. There's her grandmother there. Lu Kaiwen's determined voice was accompanied by a determined look.

"yes. I agree with you ... But.. Why is she so calm? Why is she so unhurried?。。。 She... There must be something on the mind ... The old man was almost talking to himself, and he fell into a deep groan.

Kevin Lu looked at the old man talking to himself, and he was also looking back on the past day.

"Uncle Cheng, Kerr is a girl with a special experience. She doesn't easily express her true thoughts. She's always trying to protect herself. We understand. Lu Kaiwen gradually relaxed in helplessness.

The old man also seems to be giving up struggling.

"Yes. It takes a process. Kevin, what do you think about tomorrow's shareholder meeting? Do you want to postpone it? Ke'er, this child has just experienced such a big psychological change, are we... The old man was quickly relieved and quickly changed the subject.

"No, the best way to get Kerr used to all of this as quickly as possible is to let her change roles quickly. I... Fearing that she has too much time to resist ... We can't give her time to waver. We want to speed up the process, and we want to integrate her into the collective and into the country as quickly as possible. Uncle Cheng, our plan remains the same. Kevin Lu was eager.

The old man looked up at the eager eyes that were almost attached to his eyes, and he shook his head slightly.

"Alas! All right. Kevin, I understand your feelings. However, I really don't know if this is the best way to go. Ke'er is a girl after all.,She.。。。 She has an inner world that we don't understand, a world that is unique to an abandoned girl. I'm worried. There was a complication in the old man's tone.

"I understand. I understand it all ... Lu Kaiwen nodded frequently.

He couldn't have a better word to echo the old man in front of him.

Walking on the dazzling Rodeo Street, Su Qing breathed in the luxury of the city's night in a trance.

"That's Beverly Hills, the place everybody on this planet dreams of. That's a symbol of wealth and status. Kevin Lu whispered everything in front of him.

"In the night, it's just a dazzling light. It is no different from other night scenes. Su Qing poured out her opinion lightly.

Kevin Lu stopped, and he took the girl's hand.

"Kerr, you're still the independent girl. I'm glad you're not lost. Los Angeles is not a paradise, she is just a place of freedom and happiness. She is also dark and miserable. Kevin Lu poured out his thoughts.

The girl did not answer. She just stared into the other person's eyes.

The girl's eyes shone brightly in the reflection of the lights.
