The next morning, the restaurant on the first floor.

It was almost the same breakfast as yesterday, except that there was less milk, and it seemed that old Huntelaar didn't usually drink anything, but yesterday it was purely for John, and when he knew that he didn't drink milk at all, today it was simply gone.

Apart from the slight sounds during the meal, it was very quiet in the restaurant.

Old Huntelaar was still habitually silent, and John, who was accustomed to eating and not talking, had no intention of stirring up the topic, and the grandfather and grandson ate breakfast quietly. It wasn't until they both stopped that John stood up and suddenly asked, "Sir, Mr. Thomas Edison is going to have a new show in West Orange, New Jersey, in a few days, have you heard?" ”

"You mean the electric light?"

Glancing at John with a little surprise, old Huntelaar asked a little nonchalantly. Of course, he saw the news in the newspapers, and he also gave it a very high evaluation. But at this moment, his mind was on his grandson taking the initiative to talk to him for the first time.

"Yes, sir."

John nodded and said seriously: "I am very interested in this kind of Ming, and I want to go to the scene with my own eyes, and I hope you can allow it." ”

"You want to go to New Jersey?"

After listening to John's request, old Huntelaar couldn't help frowning.

Seeing that his grandfather's expression was wrong, John's heart tightened, and he hurriedly continued: "Sir, West Orange is not far from Manhattan, even if you add one day of visiting, three days is enough for me to rush back." I really want to be able to witness this historic moment and witness this epoch-making moment with my own eyes, so please allow Mr. Elber to accompany me! ”

John's attitude was very firm.

He knew that old Huntelaar might be a little reluctant at this time, but he might also hesitate, as long as his will was expressed more strongly, there would always be some benefit. And pulling Mr. Butler at this time can also reassure old Huntelaar.

This time old Huntlaar did not frown again, but he was stunned.

"Oh? Do you think this so-called electric light is an epoch-making light? ”

Looking up and down carefully at his grandson, old Huntelaar's face did not have any expression, only two essences burst out of his eyes, and his heart was like boiling hot water, and he rolled open!

In fact, when he saw this grandson for the first time the night before yesterday, the old man understood one thing, that is, like John's height, he must not be treated as an ordinary eleven-year-old boy! After all, no matter what aspect of it is, this kid is far more mature than ordinary people!

But he never imagined that this child would mature to such a stage!

Although it was only a few simple words, the well-informed old Huntelaar knew very well that even an adult might not be able to say it. Just like himself, after reading the news, he only vaguely felt that the electric light should be a very promising Ming, but he didn't know what kind of Cheng dù it could reach.

Regardless of whether this kid is right or not, it's quite remarkable to be able to say it!

"Uh...... Seems a little too much? ”

Old Huntelaar's burning gaze shocked John's heart, and he secretly cried bitterly.

Just now, I wanted to get old Huntelaar to agree to go to New Jersey, and when I spoke, I was a little inconsiderate, and it was really a bit too much. After all, in this era, even professors at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom believe that electric light has no purpose other than to be exhibited at the World Expo, and how many people can foresee the importance of electric light in the second industrial revolution?

After a few thoughts flashed in his mind, under the surprised gaze of old Huntelaar and the butler, John hurriedly smiled and put on a slightly proud look and explained: "Yes sir, when I was in the East, I had studied some simple physics with two British missionaries, and I also knew a little about electricity, so when I saw the news in the newspaper, I suddenly thought that if this Mr. Edison's bright electric lamp could replace kerosene lamps and candles as the newspaper said, Then the impact on our lives will be too great! After all, every home needs something to light up the room at night, doesn't it? ”

"Hmm."

Nodding slightly, old Huntelaar did not immediately give a corresponding evaluation of John's words, but the gaze that looked at his grandson instantly eased a lot, and he was no longer as sharp as before.

Observing the change in his grandfather's expression, John secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, John doesn't mind showing his difference now, after all, he is now eleven years old, and everyone is still much more receptive to gifted children in these years than in later generations, and Carl Witt in Europe is a good example. And John also knows that in a few years, when a certain big bull returns from studying in Europe, it will set off a decades-long IQ storm in the United States, and stage a tragicomedy that will make future generations laugh at it......

But now, it's not time to be too sharp!

Elizabeth's surname is Old Huntelaar, and Old Huntelaar naturally knows very well how many pounds and taels his daughter has, so before going through systematic scientific study, John still decided to keep a low profile. You can show off the difference, and even show some amazing talents, but if you say too much, it is easy to cause trouble.

"New Jersey, Ah......"

Under John's expectant gaze, old Huntelaar pondered for a moment before he spoke, "Well, I'll think about it seriously." That's it, I'll give you the final answer tomorrow, and the exhibition will have a few days to go, and it's too late. ”

"Thank you, sir."

Hearing old Huntelaar's decision, John felt relieved and breathed a long sigh of relief.

If it is an ordinary ten-year-old boy, I am afraid that I am more disappointed at this time. But as a psychologically mature "adult", John naturally heard that his grandfather did not have any opinion on him visiting the electric light exhibition, as he said, but simply hesitated because New Jersey was a little far away. In addition, he also heard the concern for himself under the indifferent expression of old Huntelaar, which made John, who wanted to get along with his grandfather, but was a little resistant psychologically, faintly happy.

And......

As long as you don't refuse on the spot, then you are already seventy or eighty percent sure of this matter!

The hope of meeting the future incandescent lamp made John very happy, and after a polite conversation with his grandfather, he went upstairs. Yesterday after returning from Smith, the tailor, he finally found old Huntelaar's study, and he was overjoyed to know something about this era, and quickly put reading in the first place, and wished to live in the study.

"What do you think?"

After John disappeared at the end of the stairs, old Huntelaar narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly asked without a clue.

"Congratulations, sir!"

Hans Elber took two steps forward and stood beside the elder Huntelaar, smiling and whispering, "Little Herr Huntelaar has shown us his talent beyond the ordinary, and his thirst for knowledge...... In my personal opinion, these are all noble qualities that a successful person should have! ”

"Hehe......"

Even an old Huntelaar who didn't pretend to his grandson couldn't help but smile after listening to the compliments of his henchman butler at this time, and the laughter in his throat almost popped out. But soon, this smile was quickly hidden by him, and he said, "Hans, you know I'm not asking about this, but I'm asking you to express your opinion about his desire to go to New Jersey." ”

Raising his eyebrows, Mr. Butler said quietly: "If this matter is concerned, I personally think you can think about it." It is good to satisfy the curiosity of a teenager, and it is not appropriate to disappoint little Mr. Huntelaar, and if you trust me, I can assure you that little Mr. Huntelaar will have a pleasant and safe three days! ”

"Oh?"

He glanced at the butler with a little surprise, and when old Huntelaar saw the pretended calm expression on Hans's face, his heart suddenly moved, and he smiled dumbly......
