Chapter 40: The Old Cow Eats the Tender Grass
ββ¦β¦ Anna, the autumn scene in the garden is beautiful, why don't you ask John to take a look? β
When the two Gentlarals arrived at the Brister house for nearly an hour, Mrs. Brister, who was the best observer, smiled and said to her daughter.
"Okay."
Today's Anna is unusually well-behaved, and quickly stood up obediently.
John naturally couldn't have any opinion on the invitation of the beautiful woman, and followed Anna out with joy. And Mrs. Brister also stood up, bowed slightly, and said, "Mr. Huntelaar, I'll go and prepare today's dinner, and you can talk slowly." β
"Feel free, ma'am."
Old Huntelaar's heart moved, and he nodded with the same smile.
ββ¦β¦ I have to say, he always surprises me. β
Brister put down the cup in his hand, looked at John who walked out, and sighed, "Mr. Huntelaar, your grandson is a very wonderful young man...... I could even say that I have never seen such a wonderful young man! β
Just as we were chatting, old Huntelaar "inadvertently" talked about going to the dye factory in the morning. Brister had been thinking about it for a long time, so he naturally climbed up the pole and probed for specific details. On the way, the elder Huntelaar, who had already reached an agreement with John, went on to "casually" mention several of John's new patents, and asked his grandson to give them an overview of their role and value, and finally made the shrewd businessman Brister drool - it was obvious that it was another lucrative deal!
So at this moment, Brister's mood can be described as extremely complicated.
On the one hand, I sighed at John's excellence, I didn't expect that he could have so many achievements in healing, and on the other hand, I also secretly regretted that this kid had rejected the idea of intervening himself last time......
"Thank you for the compliment."
Smiling slightly, old Huntelaar nodded politely.
For his grandson, old Huntelaar is also very proud. For in his more than sixty years of life, he had never seen a better young man than John. It's not just about inventing or making money, it's also about being a physician, and it's unbelievably good that John is just as good!
After a moment's pause, old Huntelaar smiled and said, "Mr. Brister, Miss Anna should be just seventeen years old, right?" β
"Well, it's not long since my birthday."
I didn't quite understand why old Huntelaar suddenly asked about his daughter's age. Brister smiled and nodded.
"About John's age."
The corners of his eyes were slightly bent, and old Huntelaar smiled meaningfully: "And to tell the truth, I have rarely seen a girl as tall as Miss Anna, and this is about the same as John......"
"Huh?"
Listening to these words that seemed to be pointed, looking at the expression of the old god of old Huntelaar, Brister frowned at first, and then quickly stretched as if he realized something, and said with a smile on the corner of his eyebrows: "Yes, we always thought that he was a little too tall before. It's not a good fit to stand with boys of the same age, but it looks much more comfortable standing next to John......
β¦β¦
"Hey, when will you be able to fulfill what you promised me?"
After reaching her own garden, Anna suddenly jumped as if she had suddenly changed someone, turned around and put her hands behind her back, and tilted her little head and giggled at John as she walked back.
"Hoo ......"
Seeing Anna like this, John secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps because of the arrival of old Huntelaar today, Anna has been a lady from the very beginning. John was a little unaccustomed to it. But to be honest, he still prefers the current Anna, real and cute.
In a good mood. John asked rhetorically, "What are you talking about?" β
"Of course, show me what you look like at work!"
A little dissatisfied, Anna was very dissatisfied and said, "You can't forget, do you?" You invited me last time! β
"Oh, that's it!"
John thought about it carefully, and it dawned on him.
After thinking about it, John nodded and smiled, "I remember, but we happen to be a little busy there during this time." I'll pick you up when I'm free, okay? β
"So that's it?"
Seeing that John agreed, a sweet smile suddenly appeared on Anna's face.
Of course, Anna has some interest in what the work of a surgeon is like, but like most girls in this era, she is far less interested in work than in things like proms, fashion, and beautiful clothes. It's just that if the other party is John, then it's a different story: the girl is quite concerned about his work......
"Of course, it's decided!"
John smiled and nodded hurriedly.
This was originally a trivial matter for him, so naturally there was nothing to hesitate about. However, he was a little strange that the girl still remembered this incident, and asked with a casual smile: "I didn't expect you to remember this incident?" β
"It's because I'm curious."
Anna wrinkled her little nose and pouted, "That Mr. Stefan always says what you surgeons are doing, and I feel uncomfortable, so I want to go and see for myself!" β
"Mr. Stefan, the officer?"
John was slightly stunned, and immediately remembered who this Stefan was.
It was because the officer had denigrated the profession of surgeon in front of Anna that John thought of inviting Anna, saying that he would let her see how he worked when he had the chance. However, at that time, he was mainly trying to prove that the surgeon was not a shirtless rough man with an axe, and he naturally didn't pay attention to it after that. And on the other hand, he later felt that it was very inappropriate to let a girl like Anna go to the operating room.
But......
Making a look of indifference, John asked lightly, "What?" Do you see that Mr. Stefan often? β
"Not very often."
Pouting, Anna, who had no scheming, said casually: "But Baroness Cole likes to hold salons, and my mother likes to take me there, and that Mr. Stefan has rarely seen him before, but he seems to attend every time lately......"
"Tsk!"
After listening to Anna's explanation, John couldn't help but tapped his mouth.
Look at the girl in front of herβtall figure, delicate countenance, and that healthy and lively temperament, think with her thighs, John knows what the intention of an officer who often goes to the salon dominated by noblewomen.
"This damn uncle!"
Thinking about it, John couldn't help but get angry from his heart, and secretly gritted his teeth: "It seems that they should all be almost thirty years old, and they still come to pursue a seventeen-year-old girl, do you want the old cow to eat tender grass?" β
The indignant Mr. Huntelaar had no idea that he wanted to have a different meaning for Anna in Keya.
Although John is only in his early 20s when it comes to his biological age, and he is actually only sixteen and a half years old, he is almost fifty years old when it comes to mental age......
