Chapter Twenty-Nine: Uncle's Call
The family of three didn't say anything until Nick parked the car in the garage and the three of them walked into the house and sat on the couch, that Carl realized that something was wrong.
Nick's face didn't seem to be good.
"Did something happen? Nick. Karl asked directly.
"Ignore your dad, Carl. Louise smiled, "This morning, he received a call from his brother. β
"Is there any direct connection between these two events?" Karl looked confused, "Also, how come I never heard that he had a brother?"
At this time, Nick, who had been sitting there sulking, finally opened his mouth and said angrily, "That was twenty years ago, and since he shoved a bee into my mouth, I swore that I would never get along with him for a long time!"
Louise snuck into Carl's ear and whispered, "That's because your dad secretly threw his brother's entire rugby gear into the dung pit." β
"That's because he ruined my beloved Elvis Presley's video!" Nick exclaimed in displeasure, "That's a whole set, and every one of them has his signature!"
It was the first time Carl had seen his adoptive father, Nick, with such an expression, and he looked like a child.
"Oh, my poor little Nick. Louise hugged Nick's head with a distressed expression.
Oh my god!Karl almost didn't throw up.
"Hey, Louise, Carl is here!" exclaimed Nick, dissatisfied, but looking at his expression, he seemed to like the feeling of lying in Louise's arms.
"Well, you go ahead and leave me alone. β
With that, Carl got up and prepared to go back to his room, he wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise he was afraid that he would vomit after a long time.
"Wait, Carl. β
Nick stopped Carl, he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but his face was constipated, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Seeing this, Louise let go of Nick, stood up and pulled Carl back on the couch, and whispered in his ear, "Your Uncle George apologized to your father for inviting us to their summer vacation. β
"What an invitation, he just wants to show off his little son to me!" said Nick angrily, "He's only ten years old, and he's going to graduate from high school next year!"
"You brothers haven't seen each other in twenty years, Nick. Louise sat down next to Nick and patted him lightly on the head, "After all, he was the one who called first, and he was already very sincere." Andβ"
Louise looked at Carl, causing him to shiver for no reason.
"Do you think that if we are better than children, our children will be worse than his?"
As soon as the words came out, Nick's eyes suddenly lit up, and together with Louise, he stared at Carl with bright eyes.
Karl shuddered even more.
......
"Louise, can you please not dress me in this mess, it's summer, and I'm about to get prickly heat!"
Carl grumbled, desperately trying to break free from Louise's clutches, who were putting on him one by one in various suits.
"Listen to your mother, Carl!" Nick said with satisfaction, watching from the side.
This time, the husband and wife were surprisingly unanimous.
By this time, Louise had already helped Carl tie and was helping him put on his shoes.
It's terrible!
Looking at himself in the mirror, Carl felt that he must not wear it like this in the future.
He was afraid that he would be woken up every morning in the future.
"Great, Carl, just an angel!"
Louise clasped her hands together and said in satisfaction, and Nick nodded in return.
After everything was packed, the family drove to the airport and boarded a plane to the United States.
......
Noon, Tuesday, Cooper's house.
Today's days are a bit abnormal, usually at this time, the family usually should go to work and go to school.
But today, George picked up his two sons who are in high school and his daughter who is in elementary school early from school.
He also specially asked the principal for half a day off, for today's situation.
- His younger brother, whom he hadn't seen in twenty years, was going on holiday with his family from England.
In order not to disgrace himself in front of his brother, or to make a good first impression on his brother's family, in his words, George made a rare use of his power as head of the family, which was usually exercised in the hands of his wife, to make all three of his children well-groomed.
This time, Mary was very cooperative with her husband, especially when she heard that her nephew was also a genius.
She must not let Sheldon be compared to others!
Never!
"I don't know why I'm joining in the fun," said Connie, George's mother-in-law, Mary's mother-in-law, and grandmother of three.
"Mother, you're part of the family, too!" rebuked Mary.
Grandma rolled her eyes, "yes, yes." Because I am part of the family, I was specially asked to spend two hours preparing my signature beef!"
At eleven thirty-five o'clock, the family had been sitting here for a long time, and Mary was still busy in the kitchen, and she had brought the pearl necklace with her for today.
"Mom, why haven't they arrived?" cried Mary's youngest daughter, Mihi.
"Yes, if they don't come again, we're going to starve to death. George's eldest son, George Jr., said.
"Just starving for a while doesn't make you starve, George!" Mary brought a dish to the table, "and look at your brother!
"Yes! Sheldon forever. George glanced at his brother, who was holding a copy of Quantum Physics.
