It didn't take long for an old woman to come out with a large plate of hot barbecue. She put the plate on the table, then wiped her hands and smiled.
"I've heard you speak ill of Peter across the living room, but there are guests here today, so don't always teach Peter like a child."
"It's because you always protect him that he is not mature at all!" Root. Parker complained, and at the same time stepped forward and grabbed the old woman's shoulders and introduced to Zhou Yi.
"Mr. Zhou, this is my wife, Mei. Parker. My dear, this is what I have been telling you about Mr. Zhou who saved me, and these two lovely little angels are Mr. Zhou's children. ”
Plums. Parker hugged her husband's arm and said to Zhou Yi with a grateful expression.
"Mr. Zhou, thank you very much. If something happened to my husband, I really don't know what a terrible thing it would be. You saved our family. ”
"You're so polite, Mrs. Parker. I just happened to have the right time, and in that case I believe that everyone with a conscience would lend a hand. ”
"But you saved him, and that's enough. We will always be grateful to you, sir! "The old woman's attitude was very resolute. It was resolute to the extent that Zhou Yi couldn't refuse. He could only remain silent and acquiesce to the statement.
It was only then that the old woman turned her attention to the two girls, and at the sight of them, her wrinkled face instantly stretched out like a blooming flower. And her eyes showed an undisguised look of affection.
"What two lovely children, Mr. Zhou. It is God's favor that you can have such a lovely child, and only you can have such a lovely little angel. ”
"I said Peter should get married sooner so we could see his children sooner!" Root. Parker was still muttering in his mind. And Mrs. May quietly pinched his waist.
"again, you old fellow. Peter hadn't graduated from high school yet, how could he get married so quickly, and even if he did, it would have to wait until he went to college. ”
"If that's the case, it's not been two years."
Amid the muttering of the two old men, Peter fled. He couldn't accept being choreographed like this, so he had to escape from this embarrassing place under the guise of going to the kitchen to see.
Zhou Yi enjoys this kind of experience of chatting with others, he is a square person, but he is very witty and humorous, you can always find some fun chatting with him, and whether it is real news or some gossip news, this old man can clearly see some of the hidden things. After chatting with him for a while, Zhou Yi had a feeling that he had benefited a lot. It can't be said that he is necessarily right, but some of these life values are enough to cause Zhou Yi to think.
And Mrs. May seems to be more interested in the two little girls. She kept greeting the two little girls, and brought out snacks and honey to entertain the two little guests. It was evident that the old woman seemed to be very fond of them, and seemed to regard them as if they were her own children.
In such a happy situation, before you know it, it is lunchtime. So the group naturally did it at the table.
The Parker family prepared a lunch of barbecue, sandwiches and sea bass, and dessert was apple pie and biscuits, plus a small snack brought by Zhou Yi.
With a bottle of red wine open, several people continued to chat while enjoying Mrs. May's excellent craftsmanship. Generally speaking, it is not appropriate to talk during meals, but this old rule has long since changed with the times.
Many American families like to talk about interesting things during the family dinner, which not only makes the family dinner boring, but also deepens the relationship with the guests.
The Parker family may not be rich, but they are happy and fulfilling. Zhou Yi finally understood why Peter was able to go from a grassroots class to a hero who was taken seriously.
Not because he's strong enough, but because he's sincere enough. There is no cynicism because of poverty, and there is no self-interest because of one's identity. He is simply doing things to serve others, and doing what he can afford with his meager strength.
And in the midst of this, his family played a very big role, a family of good people, with their simple and pure values, to provide a real hero for the world.
Lunch continued, and Zhou Yi had already begun to be an honest listener, listening to Ben's simple views in a loud voice.
"I don't think mutants are any different, and we don't need to substitute the dirty thoughts of politicians on ourselves. If you have not seen someone do evil, you have no right to accuse others. It's enough to do your part, so why listen to others and change your opinion? ”
"But you know, a lot of people in this world are blind. They will follow the actions of those around them and speak up. That's why many politicians want to control media opinion. They need this to coerce the minds of the people. ”
Zhou Yi poured a glass of wine for the old man, and at the same time told his opinion.
"Thoughts will not be blinded, people will see everything clearly after all, and no one can bury the truth forever. As someone who has lived most of my life, I can only say that there are many times when time allows you to see more clearly. In that chaotic situation where you can't even see clearly, waiting is often a better option. If I really had to make a choice, I would just say that a change of stance would be the way to go. ”
"You can't make choices for someone else, if you really want to do that, put yourself in someone else's shoes. On the other hand, if someone forces you to do something, put yourself in his shoes and think about why he did it. Sometimes, there may be unexpected results. ”
The old man shook his head and said what he thought. And this view made Zhou Yi admire.
"You're right, it's the stance that's all about it. Seriously, Mr. Parker, your remarks are so brilliant that I feel that you are more savvy than any of the professors I taught sociology in college. What kind of work do you do? ”
"I may disappoint you, but I have nothing to do with such a noble profession as a university professor. I'm just a retired ordinary worker who has worked honestly for decades to have my own perspective on the world. ”
"Speaking of which, thank you again for the work you have done for Peter, if not for your help. I'm afraid Peter won't become a full-fledged journalist so easily. You bring hope to our family. ”
The old man didn't care at all about the fact that he had lost his job, and at the end he expressed his gratitude to Zhou Yi, which made him a little confused.
"I'm sorry, Ben. I don't understand what hope means? ”
Looking at his nephew, who was a little uneasy, Ben. Parker replied with a smile.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed to tell you. Peter's grades have always been good, so his aunt and I have always wanted him to go to college. But because I lost my job, my family really couldn't afford his tuition. ”
"Originally, I wanted to find some odd jobs to make a little money while I could still move. But Peter, the kid, actually quarreled with me about this, saying that he would rather not go to college than let me go to work again. Fortunately, you gave him an exclusive interview right, so that he could earn money from his work and go to college, otherwise our family might have been in trouble for a while! ”
"That's not a good thing, Peter. Either way, you shouldn't disobey your elders. "Being part of the elders, especially when the two little ones are on the side. Zhou Yi was rightfully on Ben's side. But in this matter, he is very tactful. "But I can understand your feelings, after all, you are also a filial piety. But I think Mr. Parker is in good health and is far from the time to retire, so your worries are unnecessary. ”
"It's just that Peter, the kid, is just a kid, and he's always trying to make decisions for us. It's really not true! I know my body very well, and there is no problem with work or anything. Staying at home is what makes me sick. "Ben. Parker blushed, apparently glad to have found someone who shared his views.
"Uncle!" Peter could only speak bitterly, and at this time he could only act honestly as a puffer, and did not dare to say even the slightest rebuttal.
At this time, Zhou Yi thought about it and took the opportunity to say.
"If Mr. Parker wants to work, I have a job for you here!"
"yes, that's great." Ben opened his mouth and immediately agreed. He hadn't expected such a good thing yet.
But Peter was reluctant, and he quickly intervened.
"Wait a minute, uncle, at least ask clearly before agreeing to others, okay? It's a big mistake to promise what you can't do, and that's what you told me. ”
"Peter!" Ben lengthened his voice, and it was a very rude thing for Peter to interject at this point, even though he knew it was for his own good. "You should trust Mr. Zhou, it's a matter of politeness."
"Don't blame him, Mr. Parker. That's as it should be, and he just cares about you. I should have made the job clear first. ”
Zhou Yi waved his hand to stop Ben's reprimand for Peter.
"Here's the job. You should know that I recently sponsored an event in New York. The mutant lads don't have a place to stay in New York City. So I gave up an apartment in my name. But because of their status, it turns out that the administrator of the apartment has resigned. So I've been looking for a new admin. ”
"It's not demanding, as long as you don't discriminate against mutants. The only way to do this is to prevent some messy people from entering the apartment. If you are treated, everything is preferred! How's that, Mr. Parker, are you interested? ”
This kind of thing didn't need to be asked by Zhou Yi, but because everything in the newly established mutant department was monitored by Ada and reported to him at any time, he knew what was going on around these mutants. And it just so happened that he remembered the vacancy for this position.
In his opinion, there are not many people who will compare with Ben. Parker is more suitable. The old man was wise, sober, and clearly expressed the idea that mutants and humans were treated equally. There will be no hostility towards those young people, and there will be no pity for them. It's this view that counts. What's more, he is also Spider-Man's uncle.
"Of course, Mr. Zhou. Looks like our family is going to thank you again! "Ben. Once again, Parker agreed.
