Chapter 2 Another Freedom
After Mindy McCreadie, the little girl who dared to be friends with the Demon King, left, Sun Wukong looked at the sky and remembered that he seemed to have something called a mobile phone in his pocket.
The person who killed Jeremy was obviously not a thief or robber, otherwise he would not have survived with a mobile phone or wallet.
When I took out the phone, the screen was cracked in the shape of a spider web, shaking, and some fragments fell down, but they were broken.
Sun Wukong, who was quite regretful, put the broken phone back in his pocket, walked to a fountain not far away, and scooped water to wash the blood stains on his body.
There are few police patrols in the vicinity, but you may encounter them on your way home. Running out with blood stains like this may cause unnecessary trouble.
Washing away the blood, he headed to a nearby subway station, and it was time to go home.
Sun Wukong felt strange about the rules of minors under the age of eighteen who were bound by their guardians. In particular, Jeremy's Aunt Betsy has such a rule: she must come home no later than seven o'clock every day.
He became the Monkey King as soon as he was born, he was not under the control of the law of the king of people, he was not afraid of ** prestige, and after he was successful in learning and art, he was even more holy, except for his name in the book of life and death, and he was not in the five elements except for the Three Realms. Even if the Jade Emperor is not satisfied, he will go down to heaven.
It's just that now, I have become an earthling, ** mortal, so I have to follow the customs again.
Sun Wukong comforted himself like this.
When he went home, he couldn't see the freshness all the way, which made Sun Wukong, who had no worries about the near future, look at it with relish.
By the time he got home, it was already dark.
Pushing open the door, I saw two people in the living room, a man and a woman.
This is Jeremy's cousin, a pair of twins.
His cousin's name is John Chen, he is eight feet tall, but his waist circumference is close to eight feet, and his fat face is stupid, which makes people think he has acromegaly. He was lying on the sand with two pillows, holding a black iron plate in his hand and screaming. Memories tell Sun Wukong, the black iron plate is a tablet, and John is playing a game.
It's just that Jeremy's memory also tells Sun Wukong, and he doubts that this cousin, who only has the IQ of plankton, and even if he has a level computer, he can't calculate how much one plus one equals in a year, will know what it means to play games.
My cousin's name is Amanda Chen, and unlike John, she is only five feet tall, petite and delicate, and her appearance is also delicate. is holding a mobile phone and talking to his girlfriend, and from time to time there is a burst of laughter like silver bells.
However, this cousin, Amanda is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and what she thinks about every day is not how to improve her academic performance, but how to dress herself up more fancy, defeat the cheerleader in the class, and then snatch the cheerleader's boyfriend.
Apparently Jeremy and the two cousins did not have a very harmonious relationship, and after he pushed the door in, he just glanced up and didn't even say a word, and then buried his head in the game, playing games and making phone calls.
While Sun Wukong was looking at the living room, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron came out of the kitchen, Jeremy's aunt, Betsy Rad Chen, a full-time housewife.
There was a slight hint of imperceptible sorrow on her face, which had left the traces of time.
"I'm sorry, I'm a little late." Seeing Aunt Betsy, Sun Wukong, who noticed that the time had passed seven o'clock, said apologetically.
Life between heaven and earth, there are four graces: the grace of heaven and earth, the grace of the sun and the moon, the grace of the king's water and soil, and the grace of parenting.
This aunt is not her biological mother, and she may not be as thoughtful as her biological children in some details, but after all, she has the grace to raise herself. In the past, Jeremy not only had a bad relationship with his cousin, but also had a strained relationship with this Aunt Betsy. It's just that Jeremy may be rebellious and willful because of his young age, but Sun Wukong has lived for more than a thousand years.
If it weren't for his aunt and uncle, Jeremy might not be living on the streets, but the thieves, drug dealers, and addicts in the slums are all lessons from the past.
Sun Wukong's apology not only represents Jeremy, but also represents Sun Wukong's own apology, because he is Jeremy now.
Seeing that her nephew, who had always been so withdrawn that he didn't even say much, rarely apologized because he came back late, Betsy was a little surprised, but obviously she was very satisfied with Sun Wukong's apology, and the slightly unhappy look on her face was evacuated, and she nodded: "Come back early next time, don't let us worry." Everyone put down what they were holdings, and it was dinner time. ”
Hearing that it was time to eat, John immediately put down his tablet and rushed to the bathroom. Amanda reluctantly said goodbye to her best friend and came to the table: "Do you want to eat lemon bass tonight, I don't like fish very much." ”
After complaining about having fish for dinner, Amanda asked, "Where's Daddy?" ”
"He has clients to accompany him at night, and he won't be able to come back until later." Betsy explained simply.
Jeremy's uncle is a lawyer who seems to be always busy with work and socializing, and rarely comes home on time to finish his meal.
Sun Wukong saw three things in front of him, a fish, with a few slices of yellow-orange-orange lemons sandwiched in the flesh, and a faint fish fragrance and sour smell wafting, it was lemon perch. A plate of macaroni salad with macaroni, ham and chicken, as well as tomatoes, cucumbers, cauliflower, onions and several other vegetables. Plus, there's a big glass of milk.
In the past, when he was in Heavenly Court, dragon liver and phoenix pith bear paws, jade liquid elixir, he had eaten and tasted all kinds of delicacies.
The food in the current foreign land looks a little weird, maybe it has a different flavor, thinking so, Sun Wukong, who was holding a knife and fork in his hand, hesitated.
"Didn't you like lemon bass the most?" Amanda taunted the hesitant Monkey King, thinking he was pretending, and then stood up, "I'm full." ”
But the whole lemon bass on her plate was untouched, and the macaroni salad was missing only a few tomatoes and cucumbers.
Amanda ran away with an excuse to lose weight, Betsy said a few words without getting a response, turned her head to Sun Wukong and said, "Don't you have an appetite?" ”
Sun Wukong shook his head when he heard this, how could a person who cultivates the truth have no appetite, the key is that he can't control the knives and forks in his hands well.
Well, take your time, according to the memory of Jeremy eating lemon bass in his head, Sun Wukong took a deep breath.
Remove the lemon from the top of the bass, then press the fish with a fork and make a knife along the gills, then in the middle of the body, and then along the top of the bones to the tail. In this way, the upper part of the head can be turned to the sides and the bones can be separated.
When it was finally possible to completely separate the fish bones, fish tail and meat, and completely remove the fish bones with the head and tail and put them on the edge of the plate, Sun Wukong couldn't help but look up at Betsy and John, and now they didn't notice themselves, so they quietly wiped a handful of sweat on their foreheads.
Dinner in this foreign land is really not easy to eat.
"Mom, shouldn't our pocket money go up a little bit?"
When Sun Wukong finally tasted the tender and delicious lemon sea bass, John had already finished his share of food and opened his mouth to discuss pocket money with Betsy. Apparently he wanted to take advantage of his father's Justin's absence and ask for an increase in his pocket money.
And he has a good reason for asking for a rise in pocket money: inflation, then pocket money should also rise, from $6 a week to $1o.
Listening to his cousin and aunt about the rise of pocket money, Sun Wukong was in a very relaxed mood.
There is no need to deceive, there is no intrigue, and it is also a kind of freedom.
(Reading through "Journey to the West", it will be revealed that Sun Wukong, who is on the way to learn scriptures, is actually very knowledgeable about human feelings and sophistication, and he is very wise.) )
