Chapter 10 Brother and Sister Concentric
"What about you, brother, didn't you find a female foreign devil in the United States?" Chu Jiao turned to ridicule Chu Tianlai, "Still afraid that my father won't agree, so I don't dare to bring it back?" You still don't tell the truth to your sister, your sister's mouth is as strict as a stone! β
"You girl." Chu Tian shook his head amusedly, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "There is really an American girl who likes her brother, and I am afraid that my father will not accept it, so I didn't dare to bring her back." β
"Then you like her too!" Chu Jiao felt that it was nothing, so she pouted and said, "It's still a man, and you're so timid." What are you afraid of, your father doesn't agree, you can't support a female foreign devil? β
"Look down on your brother." Chu Tian stretched out his hand and nodded at Chu Jiao, cocked Erlang's legs, and said proudly: "My brother has a double doctorate degree in the United States, and the salary for staying in the United States-" He made a gesture with his fingers to count the money, "It's also a lot of drops, or dollars!" β
"Do you like her, then? If you like her, why do you want to come back? Chu Jiao sighed and said, "China is at war, and the knowledge you have learned may be useless." Hiding in the concession? So what's the development? β
"I miss my father, and my little sister." Chu Tian leaned back on the sofa and said with a smile: "There is one more thing, don't tell your father yet!" I became a U.S. citizen and now I have a U.S. passport. β
Chu Jiao didn't care about this, and her expression was very calm, which made Chu Tian a little surprised.
Find the place where you liveξFind the place of freedom! Chu Tian didn't know about the bloody rain on the land of China for the next eight years, and he didn't know that there were few quiet places in the world. Chu Jiao knew something vaguely from Shen Chen's memories.
Therefore, she didn't want anything to happen to Chutian and her relatives. Besides, they are not warriors, and they cannot be warriors. As for herself, Chu Jiao felt that with hard work, coupled with some of Shen Chen's skills searched in her mind, she would definitely become a master. Well, you will definitely be able to kill the traitors and be invincible. Increased self-confidence, this may be another influence of Shen Chen on Chu Jiao.
"How's Cousin Lan? My father said that she and her uncle would come to the house tomorrow, so it wouldn't be that meaning, right? Chu Tian asked with some concern.
"Your cousin, my cousin." Chu Jiao pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "I'm twenty years old, and I haven't married yet, maybe I'm really waiting for you!" β
Chu Tian's expression was a little bitter, after being outside for so long, he did have a sweetheart, and he forgot a little about Cousin Lan.
"Look at you like that? I'm afraid that Cousin Lan will stick to you and make you unable to marry a female foreign devil. Chu Jiao was a little amused and said: "However, I don't think Cousin Lan is waiting for you, after graduating from Jinling University, she returned to Shanghai to work in the "Damei Evening News", and she is still a member of the Shanghai Professional Women's Club!" β
"The Great American Evening News? Is it an American-run newspaper? Chu Tian asked suspiciously.
"Nominally, it's safer!" Chu Jiao pondered for a moment and said, "Cousin Lan is very busy, and she doesn't have a lot of dealings with me. You can ask her when you meet, and it will definitely be more detailed and accurate. β
"Gillian, you-" Chu Tian hesitated for a moment and asked, "I think you must have seen the wounded on the battlefield, and-"
"Dead people." Chu Jiao lowered her eyelids and said in a deep voice: "The war is terrible, but you can't hide if you want to." β
"Maybe." Chu Tian paused and said, "Father's local concept is very strong, I think, if we both persuade him, can we go outside to hide for some time." Wait until the war is over, or when the situation is calm. β
"Outside? America? Chu Jiao thought for a while and said, "I think it's good, but I'm afraid this is not something that can be persuaded for a while." β
"Brothers and sisters are of the same heart, and their profits are golden." Chu Tian stretched out his palm and signaled with a smile.
Chu Jiao chuckled, reached out and high-fived her brother loudly, and couldn't help coughing twice.
"Miss, it's time to take your medicine." Yahuan appeared with a medicine bowl, followed by Chu Xiongfei.
Chu Jiao immediately had an ugly expression, her eyebrows were tight, and the smell of medicine alone made her very uncomfortable.
"Good!" Chu Tian took the medicine bowl and handed it to his sister, coaxing, "Heal your injuries as soon as possible, and you can take your brother to play outside." In a few years, my brother didn't even know the road to Shanghai! β
Chu Jiao took the medicine bowl with a bitter face, held her breath, raised her neck and drank it, hurriedly stretched out her hand, handed over a bowl of water, rinsed her mouth, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Xiongfei's face was a little pale, and he regretted and loved it in his heart, but his expression was still quite serious.
"Take your medicine on time, rest and nourish. The doctor said that this internal injury is the most difficult to treat. Chu Xiongfei's words of concern were also very blunt, and his brows were also furrowed, "If you don't do it well, you will leave the root of the disease!" β
"Dad, don't worry, my body is good, and it won't take a month or two to be alive again." Chu Jiao grinned, not caring at all.
Chu Xiongfei smiled bitterly, and his tone softened a lot, "After a long thing, you will be wise." Girls should do girls' things, and don't let your father and family be scared in the future. β
"My little sister has grown up, but she is a lot more sensible!" Chu Tian saw that his sister didn't care, and knew that she didn't listen, so he hurriedly changed the topic, "When will I eat, I'm hungry." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
A family of five, sitting around the dining table.
Such a change is very big, especially when Yuqin can eat at the same table, which makes the servants surprised. Chu Xiongfei was very relieved, relieved that his brutal and willful daughter was finally sensible, and this was like a home.
Chu Tian ate his hometown food again, had a good appetite, and complained about the monotony of American and Western food while eating.
Yuqin looked cramped at the dinner table, didn't talk much, and listened with a respectful smile most of the time.
Chu Jiao ate a lot and talked a lot, and from time to time she gave food to Ling'er, who was sitting next to her, which seemed very warm.
Ling'er couldn't say anything, but in the end, she was a child, no one blamed her, and she ate sweetly with her rice bowl. Maybe it's because he got the doll given by Chu Jiao, and his attitude towards Chu Jiao has become closer.
"Tomorrow at the Naher, your uncle has already booked a table." Chu Xiongfei put down his wine glass and announced, "Their family, our family, get together together." β
The chopsticks in Chu Tian's hand paused, blinked, and said tentatively, "Why aren't you at home?" Gillian's injuries are not all healed, isn't it inconvenient? β
"It's just a car ride to a meal, I'm fine." Chu Jiao agreed nonchalantly, in fact, she was suffocating at home during this time, and she wanted to go out and relax.
"It's just-" Chu Tian hesitated, as if he wanted to make himself a friend of a female foreign devil, and he didn't like Cousin Lan's matter to tell his father first.
