Chapter 3 Language gibberish
Bell!
Outside an American-style single-family house.
Owen and Tan said hello and stepped forward to ring the doorbell.
This is the second night of getting the American drama system, since Sheldon Jr.'s mother, Mary Cooper, learned that her lonely young son had made friends and two at a time, she excitedly invited Owen and the two to come over.
"They came, everybody kept calm, it was just an ordinary day, an ordinary dinner. ”
A woman's suppressed and excited voice came from inside the room.
"Can I eat in front of the TV?"
A little girl's voice rang out.
"No, there are guests in Shelton today, and we all have to be hospitable. ”
"it!"
"I know what I mean, little girl, if there were no guests today, I would have taught you a good lesson. ”
The woman's roar was very penetrating, Tan shook his body a little fearfully, but Owen smiled knowingly.
Creak!
The door opened, and she was greeted by a middle-aged Caucasian woman dressed in full costume, and even wore a necklace around her neck that she would only wear for important occasions, which obviously did not match the ordinary dinner she said, only to see her standing against the door, bowing slightly, and greeting warmly: "Welcome." ”
That kind smile and gentle tone made it difficult for Tan to associate the roar and roar just now with the other party, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned, Owen stepped forward and said hello with a smile: "Good evening, Mrs. Cooper, I'm Owen Lee, Sheldon's friend." ”
"Hello, Owen. ”
Mary Cooper saw that Owen was young, but he had a mature temperament, which was far more suitable for being a friend of her baby son than Tan, who was already a high school student, and the smile on her face couldn't help but brighten a little, reached out and shook Owen, said hello to Tan, and pulled Owen into the house.
In front of a rectangular dining table, everyone sat down, a big fat man sat on the narrow edge of the back of the square dining table, it was Sheldon's father, George Cooper, with three chairs on the left side, Sheldon sitting next to George, Owen next to Sheldon, and Tan next to Owen.
Across from him sat Sheldon's twin sister Missy Cooper, and across from George Cooper sat Sheldon's brother George Cooper Jr., who was in high school.
Mary was busy in the kitchen, and everyone sat there, staring at each other in embarrassment.
"So, Tan, what country is your name?"
As the hostess, George could only take the initiative to speak, trying to interrupt this awkward atmosphere.
"Vietnamese, sir. ”
Tan is concise and to the point.
"Oh, I remember. ”
George bowed his head and said, "When I was in the army, I also stayed there......"
Speaking of this, George paused, looked at Tan with some strange looks, and said tentatively, "Your mother's name is not Kim Lee, is it?"
"No, sir. ”
Tan was puzzled, still concise and to the point, without saying much.
"That's good, that's good. ”
George breathed a sigh of relief and disguised: "You know, small country, maybe it's ...... Mary, how long will it take?"
"Right away. ”
Mary's voice came from the kitchen.
Little Sheldon rolled his eyes and asked directly his doubts: "Why do you think you know his mother?"
"Huh. ”
When Owen heard this, he couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed out loud, and everyone's eyes suddenly turned to him.
"What are you laughing at?"
Little Sheldon was puzzled, although his IQ was super high, but his EQ was pitiful, more than 20 years later, he still couldn't figure out the common sense in the eyes of many ordinary people, not to mention that he was only 9 years old now.
"Nothing. ”
Seeing George looking at him with an embarrassed face, Owen couldn't hold back a smile and perfunctory, he couldn't talk about the ugly things of these GIs abroad in front of his master.
After dinner, Owen followed Sheldon Jr. to the garage, where Sheldon's train toys and his brain-wrenching designs were displayed.
"What is this?"
Owen pointed to an apparently modified toy oven.
"Oh, this is an armed robot that I designed and modified. ”
Little Sheldon was a little nostalgic, and said with some disappointment: "It was originally used to drive Missy out of the room, but unfortunately, the volume and strength are not big enough, and Missy is not afraid at all." ”
Owen was skeptical, "You say this can move?"
"Of course. ”
Little Sheldon nodded as a matter of course, and then asked suspiciously: "If you can't move, how can you be called my armed robot?"
As he spoke, he took a remote control and pressed it, and the toy oven really moved, and the robot arm that was modified and installed waved it in a decent way to make a driving motion.
"Remarkable. ”
Owen couldn't help but admire.
Don't look at his previous life, he lived for more than 20 years and went to college, but it is also very difficult to make such a DIY, and little Sheldon is only 9 years old, but he has done it so easily, how is this not amazing.
"It's nothing. ”
Little Sheldon didn't care: "There was originally a medical CT machine that I used to use a non-working CT scanner here, but unfortunately Missy complained to her mother, saying that the CT machine burned her guinea pig "Snowball" and was taken away by her mother, and here, there used to be a sonic death ray I made, which was specially used to deal with Billy Sparks's ...... who often bullied me next door."
"Hi Sheldon, is this the model rocket you made?"
Tan picked up the model rocket on the table and discussed it with Sheldon while playing with it: "Are you using the method introduced in Professor Robert Goddard's book Liquid Rocket?"
"Yes. ”
Sheldon Jr. said: "Originally, I was going to get some uranium to build an atomic engine, but unfortunately it was too difficult to get it, and the FBI was brought in for this. ”
“......”
Tan Gan smiled: "It's okay if you can't get it." ”
Owen asked curiously, "Even if you have uranium, are you sure you can make an atomic engine?"
"Yes. ”
Little Sheldon glanced at Owen suspiciously, and asked, "Is there a problem......?"
Owen looked at little Sheldon blankly, listening to the professional terms that popped out of the other party's mouth, completely incomprehensible, and finally turned into a series of language gibberish, unconscious, consciously communicating with the American drama system, and asked: "System, are you sure I have to be friends with him?"
"Yes, master. ”
American drama system: "This universe is centered on the Big Bang Theory, and the only thing that can bring the positive pole to the owner is the lucky protagonist of the Big Bang Theory. ”
"Damn!"
Owen complained: "When I watched TV at the time, I felt very funny, but when I really became friends with him, I found that it was not funny at all, he is only 9 years old now, but I can't understand a word of what he says, there is no common language, it's really embarrassing." ”
