"Let's imagine the world as a point. This point is moving, and the trajectory of the movement is time. Is this point four centuries ago the same as it is now?"

The answer is no. Four centuries ago, it was believed that the little man born in a flask had the truth of the world. Now, Reiptree's high school students refuse to take lab classes because they fear burning their eyebrows. ”

"It's really unfair, everyone at the point now knows how ignorant the people at that point in the four centuries were. The people at that point four centuries ago have no room for imagination about the people at the point now. ”

"Time is a, a who only looks up and moves forward. ”

Above, from the lunch table at Barton Manor. It was Mrs. Quinn who made the remarks. Strictly speaking, she's not at the table, she's going around the table. Starts behind the seat of her lifelong friend, Mrs. Patton, and stops after Mrs. Patton's seat.

Mrs. Patton stared at her plate without squinting, "Who refused to take the lab class?"

Lola replied, "I didn't, it's Kepler!" and turned her gaze to Alice and Maya, asking for agreement.

Alice is about to respond to her friend's pleas, but is immediately held down by Maya. Maya frowned, glanced at Mrs. Quinn, who had a tendency to continue to speak, and pursed her lips, cutting the food on her plate in a venting manner - Maya understood what Mrs. Quinn meant.

A new circle begins. Mrs. Quinn held a glass of red liquid in her hand, "Every moment of the person is inevitably insulted by the person of the future. It's because the time--son never looks back, and she doesn't even pause. Tick Tick Tick ......"

There was a guy at the dinner table who interjected. It's Sissi, "Why-son-?" White-eyed, "Why not a negative person! If you're going to personify something bad that no one controls, don't insult your gender." ”

Mrs. Quinn's gaze lingered on Sissi for a moment, then at Lola, "What's the matter with her?"

"Uh, it's Chris. They haven't reconciled yet. ”

Mrs. Quinn snorted, ignoring Sissi, and continued her speech, "But there is a way to avoid being insulted by the people of the future...... Mrs. Quinn turned behind Kyle, and focused her gaze on somewhere behind Kyle's seat in a somewhat speechless manner, "Let go." ”

Some guardian angel who doesn't know if he remembers, Gevilll gets out of the way. Mrs. Quinn was able to move on, "That's the--...... with time," her eyes drifted to Sissi, "or, the, whatever you want to call it." Moving forward together. Tick, tick, tick. ”

Standing behind Mrs. Barton's seat again, he shook his glass in one hand and put the other on Mrs. Barton's shoulder, "Eternal life." ”

Mrs. Barton's gaze never moved, and she put a piece of food on her plate into her mouth and chewed slowly.

There was no one at the table, and it was an oppressive lunch. However, this kind of situation has been happening continuously for the past few days, and everyone seems to be used to it.

The liquid in Mrs. Quinn's cup was decreasing, and suddenly, she looked at Lola, "Your parents are back." ”

"Ahh......h

Speaking of which, do you remember where the children were in class when Park Elementary School was renovated? By the way, it was Lola who used her father's image to set up a classroom at Back Bay Social University for Park Elementary School. The Patton family has withdrawn from Patton's political core, so let's not gossip about his father's position, just know that he can do this kind of thing easily.

Now the middle-aged man seemed to be very gloomy, and after entering the restaurant, he glanced at his mother, his son and daughter, and his teenage friends who had been inexplicably staying at home for the past few days. After this long glance, he sat down at the table.

Lola's mother didn't look very good, but instead of sitting down together, she patted Lola and Kyle, "Take your friends to the side diner, the adults have something to talk about." ”

It seems like a very normal family situation for adults to chase away children when they want to talk about business, right, all of us have passed through. But, hehe, Mrs. Patton looked at her grandson and granddaughter, as well as her grandson's friends, and inexplicably showed a hint of ...... Self-deprecation, yes, mockery of oneself.

Mrs. Barton spoke up as Lola and Kyle stood up, "Adults, Lola is 17, Kyle is 19, and you are going to treat them as children for as long as you want." ”

Before Lola's parents could react, Mrs. Barton shook her head and waved her hand at Lola and Kyle, "Go ahead." ”

We should understand. The reason why Lola and Kyle shouldn't be treated as children anymore is definitely not age.

The teenagers shifted.

Restaurants without elders are also freer, and teenagers are about to breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy a lunch that they haven't enjoyed in days......

"If it weren't for the problems your parents couldn't solve, your parents wouldn't have come back to your grandmother to discuss. "Well, Mrs. Quinn appeared, still holding her cup.

However, it is reasonable that some people do not want to treat Mrs. Quinn as an elder. Sissi, "Can you hear what they're saying?" ”

Mrs. Quinn glanced at Sissi, "Of course. "Retract your gaze and be quiet for a moment, you should be listening.

Sissi waited for a moment, "What are they talking about?"

Mrs. Quinn replied simply, "It has nothing to do with you." "The eyes fell on Alice and Maya," they were considering whether or not to entrust Grande. ”

Now everyone was curious, Alice asked, "What commission?"

"The republican government and the federal side have developed a higher education exchange program with the aim of building a more solid foundation for the harmonious development of the two countries in the future. "Mrs. Quinn is talking about an epoch-making event that can make a big difference in the world, but there is no ...... Oh, Mrs. Quinn is now and that of time is all the way, walking with her head held high, proud~" But Patton, as the gateway to republican relations and the only institution of higher education in the city, Back Bay Community College did not meet the project's standards. Your father feels insulted. ”

The teenagers were blinking their eyes. Or Alice said, "What's the use of entrusting Grande?" No, how much of a funeral home it affords. A bunch of people chimed into the air, waiting for an answer.

Mrs. Quinn did not reply, and looked like she was listening.

After a while, Mrs. Quinn raised her glass and took a sip, "Newton University is in the program. Your father said that if Newton belonged to Barton, and Newton University was his, then the insult would be gone. Mrs. Quinn lifted her glass again, emptying it, "What your father means is that it's time for the Barton family to take control of the fate of the city of Barton once again. ”

Still, that problem is still there, it's too much to afford a funeral home, isn't it?

Mrs. Quinn put down her glass and replied, "As before, this is a goal that needs to be accomplished by the people of the West End. And what Grande has to do is to put Newton in crisis again. ”
