Subtitle of this chapter: Is the character Xuan He who appears this time?

……………………

PADDY IS MOSTLY TRANSLATED AS RICE FIELD, RICE, AND RICE, AND BY EXTENSION, IT MEANS HILLBILLY, AND THEN IT HAS THE MEANING OF IRISH. (Author's note: Thank you @源制dark patients.) ）

The term is often a slurical term. However, in 1798 the important leader of the United Irishmen party, Edward ? Lord Edard FitzGerald claimed that he himself was a proud "Paddy and no more".

SO PADDY BECAME A NICKNAME FOR THE IRISH.

At about the same time that Gu Weijun and Meng Xiancheng saw the advertisement, a certain Paddy in Boston, Massachusetts, also saw it. But the newspaper he read was not Le Monde, but the Boston Herald American.

As an Irishman, he certainly knew that the ad was asking them what they had forgotten, which was the Great Irish Famine.

His family's ancestor, named Padraig, came to America by ship during the Great Irish Famine of 1848.

Coincidentally, Padraig is an Irish variant of the English name Patrick, and his nickname is none other than Paddy.

Paddy Sr. was only 26 years old when he arrived in the United States, and he quickly found work in a cooperage, earned some money, and settled down to marry and have children.

In 1858 the lucky Irishman died of cholera, and the care of the family was left to his widow Butridge. To raise her three daughters and a son, the resilient mother worked as a clerk, a hairdresser, and eventually a partner in a small grocery store.

Their only son, also named Padraig, dropped out of school at the age of fourteen to work as a porter on the docks, and he saved a little money to open a small bar in the docks. He then showed his business skills and opened two more bar chains in a short period of time.

In post-Civil War Boston, pubs, like the beer halls in Munich at this time, were actually political arenas for politicians to perform. Even better, some of the generous candidates also offer free drinks during the election period.

So little Paddy's bar naturally became his springboard to the state house, and he and his family made their way from it.

In 1895, after serving as a state legislator for six years, he and his friends founded a bank called the Columbia Trust Company for $130,000.

Thus, in less than forty years, from 1848 to 1895, a poor Irish family produced a politician and banker.

In 1888 little Paddy's wife gave birth to a son on Boston's West Side, who was reading a newspaper......

Joseph Patrick Kennedy!

"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy......"

Just as little Paddy remembers his family history, a tiny Shota stumbles into his study. It was his second son with Ross Fitzgerald, the daughter of the former mayor of Boston.

Well, this cute little boy carved in pink is none other than the future JFK, John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

"John, didn't Daddy tell you not to come into my study while I'm working."

Little Paddy is a very strict father, even if his son is only four years old, he is still meticulous.

"Daddy, hug." Little John still wanted to get into his arms despite his stinky face.

Looking at the pitiful appearance of his second son, Mr. Kennedy sighed in his heart, this child was not in good health since he was a child, and he almost died of scarlet fever last year. In fact, JFK suffers from "Edison's disease", and his adrenal gland function is problematic, causing him to have low immunity and need to take steroids for the rest of his life.

Fearing that his health problems would affect his political future, JFK later kept his medical history a strict secret, and even after his assassination, this concealment continued.

The stern father eventually picked up his son and read him the newspaper.

"Dad, who's Paddy?"

"John, Paddy is us."

"Dad, so what did we forget?"

"John, we won't forget, we won't forget......"

"John, where are you? Didn't you tell you not to disturb your father's work? Just then, Mrs. Kennedy walked in, and in her mother's "stern" tone, she said, "Get out of here and play with your brother!" ”

And JFK's older brother is named Joseph Patrick Kennedy Jr., just like his old son. In the original timeline, the fourth-generation eldest son of the Kennedy family would become a pilot and die in World War II.

Watching their son happily run out of the study, Mr. Kennedy asked, "Rose, do you want to go to New York?" ”

"New York?" Mrs. Kennedy knew what her husband was thinking, but she hesitated and said, "Joseph, is it a little early?" ”

After graduating, Joseph Kennedy became chairman of the Bank of Boston with the support of his father, and claimed to be the youngest chairman of a bank in the United States. He inherited his business talent and made a lot of money by engaging in various speculative transactions before and after World War I. This also made the Kennedy family one of the true American giants.

Just as Joseph Kennedy in the prime of life had money, it was natural that he had greater ambitions. Although Boston is the largest city in New England, it is still not comparable to New York, the heart of the capitalist world.

And he thinks his children are more likely to socialize in New York, so he has always had plans to move his family to Xinxiangcheng.

"Look at this advertise......ment, Ross," Mr. Kennedy said as he handed the Boston Herald American to his wife, "and I want to go to New York to meet that Mr. Griffith." ”

Mrs. Kennedy watched the ad with only a few words, and then asked, "Joseph, do you want to invest in this film?" But ......"

Joseph Kennedy did have a bit of a business flair and also got involved in the lucrative film and television industry very early. But......

"A $3 million investment? Director or Mr. Griffith? Joseph, that's not a good idea. ”

Mr. Kennedy nodded and said, "It does look quite exaggerated, so I need to go to New York to talk to the great director in person and read the script." ”

He muttered for a moment and said, "Rose, why don't I go to New York first." If the film is really worth the investment, then I will not only invest but also try to become a producer. ”

"And I happened to meet some old friends and ask them to introduce me to the house and the school or something. It will be much more convenient when you get over. ”

Since he had said so, Mrs. Kennedy would naturally have no objections.

So when our Master Yuan returns to New York, there will be a big surprise.
