Chapter 18: The Family of the Future Daughter-in-law
Under the threat of his grandfather, Wang Lei honestly stayed in the car and went to Boston's Chinatown. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When you come to the entrance of Boston's Chinatown, the first thing you see is the familiar Chinese archway with heavy eaves and colorful paintings, with four big characters written on the front of the "world for the public", and "courtesy, righteousness and shame" written on the back. It shows that although the Chinese in Boston's Chinatown are far away, they have always adhered to the Chinese cultural tradition in their hearts.
The taxi drove into Chinatown and soon came to the front of the building with the sign "Tsui Yuan Restaurant".
There were already a few Chinese waiting there in front of the restaurant, and the leader in the center was an old man with gray hair, who looked about the same age as Grandpa Wang Lei. Next to the old man were a middle-aged man and a woman and a young girl.
Wang Lei, who got out of the taxi, looked at the young girl at first glance.
I thought to myself, is this the future daughter-in-law who ordered a baby kiss with me, she looks really smart, her figure is also great, and her quiet and tranquil temperament is like a traditional beauty that came out of Qiong Yao's novels.
It's nice to have such a beautiful woman as your daughter-in-law!
Well, grandpa, I forgive you!
But it's a little strange, how can this "daughter-in-law" look older than herself, at least eighteen or nineteen years old, doesn't it mean that she was born three days later than herself? Is it precocious?
"Senior brother!"
"Senior brother!"
First, the grandfather and the old man greeted each other excitedly, and then the old man blamed: "Senior brother, why don't you call me earlier if you want to come over, I'll go to the airport to pick you up!" ”
Grandpa Wang Lei waved his hand and said: "You are all old, what to pick up, besides, I don't know the way!" ”
"What age, I'm not too old to walk!" The old man looked unconvinced.
"Senior brother, you are still so strong, but we have even grown up with our grandchildren, so we can't accept the old man!" Grandpa smiled, and shouted to Wang Lei, who was still staying next to the taxi staring at his "daughter-in-law": "Bastard, what are you doing standing there, don't you come over and call someone, where is the politeness?" ”
But, grandpa, can't you save some face for me in front of my future daughter-in-law?
Wang Lei had broken thoughts in his heart, but he still walked over honestly, bowed his head to the old man and said, "Grandpa Zhou, hello!" ”
"Okay, senior brother, this is Lei Wazi, he's already so old, he was still wetting the bed when I saw him last time, and now he doesn't pee, right?"
Grandpa Zhou responded with a smile, but what he said almost made Wang Lei collapse. The originally quiet and tranquil "daughter-in-law" was also so amused that she couldn't help laughing.
Wang Lei's face turned a little dark.
Instead, you are really my grandfather's younger brother, why did you embarrass me as soon as we met?
Wang Lei was unhappy, but no one took him seriously, and the pair of middle-aged men and women next to Grandpa Zhou and the future "daughter-in-law" greeted Grandpa one after another.
After his grandfather responded with a smile, Wang Lei realized that he had made a joke again.
The middle-aged man and woman are Grandpa Zhou's son Zhou Xianhe and daughter-in-law Sun Yuting, yes, but that young girl is not his "future daughter-in-law", but the sister of his "future daughter-in-law", his future "sister-in-law" Zhou Yuqiang.
His "future daughter-in-law" Zhou Yuwei is still in school and has not finished school!
No wonder she saw that her eyes were nothing unusual, it turned out to be a "sister-in-law"!
The Zhou family welcomed Wang Lei and others into the restaurant and directly asked the kitchen to serve the food.
Opening a restaurant has this advantage, and there are guests who come without waiting, and they can be served directly.
Naturally, Sadler, Cruise, and Chekov followed.
Although the people of the Zhou family were a little surprised when they saw these three foreigners, they still politely invited them to sit together.
Fortunately, the three of them have lived near San Francisco's Chinatown for many years, and they have long been familiar with the custom of Chinese guests to enter the table, but no one makes jokes. And Sadler's alcohol consumption is not bad, and he is also used to drinking Chinese liquor, so he can chat with Grandpa Wang Lei and Grandpa Zhou.
As for Cruise and Chekov, although they also want to taste Chinese baijiu, unfortunately they are not yet of drinking age, so they can only drink with Wang Lei.
In China, no one cares about drinking alcohol under minors, but in 1984 the United States promulgated a "Minimum Age Drinking Act in the United States," which prohibits young people under the age of 21 from drinking alcohol.
"Jade Garden Restaurant" is a hotel, and this law must be complied with, otherwise the license may be revoked.
So even if Grandpa Wang Lei and Grandpa Zhou didn't think much of this regulation, for example, Wang Lei secretly drank wine when he was a child, and Grandpa didn't care about him when he saw it. But in front of Sadler, a foreigner, it was not good for Chekov and Cruise to drink.
Wang Lei's seat was between Zhou Yuqiang and Cruise, and opposite Zhou Yuqiang's parents, the future "father-in-law" and "father-in-law" were toasting and chatting with Ou Yangming in the neighborhood, while constantly looking at Wang Lei with their eyes.
Wang Lei felt uncomfortable, and Cruise, on the left, acted as if he had never eaten Chinese food in eight lifetimes, and was eating with his head covered, and did not talk to him at all. In desperation, Wang Lei had no choice but to talk to Zhou Yuqiang on the right.
"Sister Yuqiang, when will your sister get out of school?"
Zhou Yuqiang had a smile on her face and replied, "There is still about half an hour, Xiaowei, she always gets out of school late!" ”
"Oh, isn't it good for us to eat so early?"
"You can't let the two old men wait for her, can you?"
"Yes, what grade is she in this year?"
"Twelfth grade."
Freshman year older than me?
Wang Lei was a little surprised, and asked again: "What about you, Sister Yuqiang?" ”
Zhou Yuqiang smiled: "I'm already in college!" ”
"Really, which university?"
"Harvard, it's not far from home, I can come back anytime."
"Wow, Harvard University, Sister Yuqiang, you're a top student!"
"What do you mean?"
"It means that you are very good at studying and can dominate your grades!"
"Oh, thanks, I was just lucky!"
"Sister Yuqiang, what department are you studying?"
"Law School."
"Oh, Sister Yuqiang, do you want to be a lawyer?"
"I don't want to, but my parents ask for it, and I can't help it."
"What did you originally want to do, Sister Yuqiang?"
"It's okay to tell you, but don't tell you." Zhou Yuqiang lowered her voice and said: "I originally wanted to go to the film school of the University of Southern California and go to Hollywood to be an actor after graduation, but my grandfather firmly opposed it and thought that acting was a cheap job, so I could only go to Harvard to study law!" ”
"Uh, what a coincidence!" Wang Lei was stunned for a long time before he said: "Sister Yuqiang, I won't tell you, I also plan to study at USC Film School, but I want to study screenwriting and directing, not acting, so my grandfather and parents have no objections." ”
"yes, didn't your grandfather just say you came to box?" Zhou Yuqiang asked strangely.
"Yes, but boxing was just a stepping stone to Hollywood!" Wang Lei pretended to be serious and said: "I found that racial discrimination in the United States is very serious, especially in Hollywood. It is very difficult for Chinese people to get their head in Hollywood, and only Bruce Lee has been involved in Hollywood for so many years, and the road is also very rough. If an unknown Chinese like you and me want to mix in Hollywood, I am afraid that what they will gain will only be white eyes and blows. That's why I decided to fight boxing first, as long as I become a world champion in the future, with super popularity, it will be much easier to enter Hollywood! ”
"World boxing champion, are you confident?" Zhou Yuqiang asked in surprise.
"It's not just me who has confidence, my grandfather and my coach have confidence in me, don't believe me, ask them!"
After a pause, Wang Lei said again: "Sister Yuqiang, I see that you have a very star temperament, if you have a good script and an excellent director, you will definitely be popular when you make movies." It's better to do this, I'll write a script and let you be the heroine, as long as the movie is filmed, it will definitely be popular after the release, and then you don't need to speak, Hollywood may take the initiative to invite you to join! ”
"Well, you can write a script?" Zhou Yuqiang was surprised again.
"Of course, I didn't say it just now, I've already written several scripts, but I didn't bring them to San Francisco, otherwise I will definitely give you a taste of them first!"
Wang Lei is worthy of his words, in fact, his so-called scripts are just simple synopsis, and some even have only one movie name. Wang Lei did this because he was afraid that he would forget the wonderful movies he had seen in his previous life after a long time, so he simply wrote down the names and contents of some movies he had seen in his previous life, and planned to wait until he had time in the future to slowly write the script.
Zhou Yuqiang didn't know the truth, and mistakenly thought that Wang Lei had really written a lot of scripts, and couldn't help but be impressed by him.
"By the way, Sister Yuqiang, what type of movies do you like to watch?" Wang Lei asked again.
"I'm afraid you won't believe it, I like to watch horror movies. It's not just me, Xiaowei likes it too. Three years ago, I secretly took Xiaowei to the cinema to watch a low-budget horror film called "Evil Dead", although Xiaowei was scared but became obsessed with horror movies, and often asked me to take her to watch it! By the way, have you ever watched "Evil Dead"? ”
"I've seen it, directed by Sam Raimi, I heard that the sequel is coming out soon, and I guess I will be able to see it next year or the year after!"
Wang Lei was a little speechless, he didn't expect his sister-in-law to like watching horror movies, and it also affected his future daughter-in-law, what a human being can't see!
I only heard Zhou Yuqiang ask again: "Is the script you wrote terrifying?" ”
"Of course there is, it is guaranteed to be more terrifying than "Ghost Player", and it is dominated by the heroine, if Sister Yuqiang you play the heroine, it is guaranteed to be popular!"
"yes, what's the name of this film?"
"Midnight Bells!" Wang Lei had a strange smile in his eyes.
He does have "Midnight Bell" in his notepad, and in his memory, this classic Japanese horror film in his previous life was shot in 98, and Hollywood has also remade it, and it has won a good box office and word of mouth.
The point is that the original novel of "Midnight Bell" seems to have been written in the nineties. Wang Lei doesn't remember that it was written in '90, so he planned to write a complete script and make the movie before '90, so as not to "crash".
Zhou Yuqiang's appearance and temperament are very good, and she looks a little similar to Nanako Matsushima, the heroine of Japan's "Midnight Bell". If her acting skills are passable, it would be better for her to play the heroine of "Midnight Bell". As long as the shooting is not worse than the American remake in the previous life, it is impossible to be popular or not.
Zhou Yuqiang really became a little interested, and couldn't help but ask about the content of "Midnight Bell".
Wang Lei then briefly explained the content of "Midnight Bell" to Zhou Yuqiang.
They bit their ears and whispered like no one else, but they didn't notice that Sun Yuting, Zhou Yuqiang's mother, who was sitting opposite and had been staring at them, had a slightly ugly face.
After frowning and staring at her eldest daughter and Wang Lei for a long time, Sun Yuting finally couldn't stand it a little, and lowered her voice and said to her husband who was sitting next to her: "Xianhe, look at Yuqiang and Wang Lei's kid, aren't they so good?" ”
"What's wrong with them?" Zhou Xianhe, who had been chatting with Ou Yangming, failed to react.
"What's the matter, didn't you notice that kid Wang Lei was seducing Jade Qiang? Did you say that Uncle Wang didn't tell him that Yuwei was engaged to him, so that he thought Yuqiang was his future daughter-in-law? Or is this kid not a good thing, and he still wants to fight Yuqiang with Yuwei's idea? Sun Yuting said a little "gritted her teeth".
"Uh, you're thinking too much, aren't you?" Zhou Xianhe couldn't laugh or cry a little.
Sun Yuting said angrily: "How can I think too much, didn't you see that Yuqiang was talking and laughing with that kid?" I see that you should hurry up and call Yuwei's girl's school and urge that girl to come back quickly, otherwise her future husband will cheat! ”
Zhou Xianhe: "......"
