Chapter 14: Father
In the evening, in the valley between the gorges, Joni sat on a shadowy meadow on a steep cliff, with a reddish-brown wall behind him, and his mother Joanna was busy in the kitchen, and everything seemed so warm and peaceful in this so-called other home in another world.
He had been sitting on the slope of this hill for a long time, and the wide and empty wheat fields stretched infinitely under him, flat and vast to the end of the eye, and the wheat yellow of his heart was like an ocean, endless, and whenever the wind rose, the long ears of wheat danced with the wind, swaying like waves,
In the distance of the yellow sky, Mica had already sunk below the horizon, and Mestra was only half of his figure, releasing a purple glow that was even more eerie than during the day, reflected among the large cumulus clouds, setting off a stunning variety of wonders, but also solidified and thick, like a series of heavy ink drawn by a wonderful technique.
The sunset at Chilian was poignant, and Jonny's heart was stirred, and a sigh of reincarnation came to his heart. Why did this mysterious force in the underworld create all this? Just as this scene can only be described by poetry, what kind of future is born in all this grandeur?
Everything is unknown, and everything seems to have just begun.
"Jonny, baby, here you go." Joanna called out to him from afar.
He stood up and looked with some nostalgia at the purple sun that had gradually sunk into the sea of wheat, the night had come, the stars had begun to appear, and the sky was more beautiful than before.
"Your dad's call, I told him about enrollment." Joanna looked a little unhappy, and Jonny couldn't guess why.
Naturally, Jonny couldn't refuse an unthinkable meeting, and silence combined with ignorance of everything was probably the only defense he had now.
"Jonny." On the floor of the velvet carpet in the living room stood a middle-aged man, facing Jonny, about the same size as Jonny, with a delicate face, handsome and elegant, combed one-sided hair, silver hair, bright and dazzling in the light, making people feel more heroic. His expression was grim, his handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and when he saw his son enter the house, the frost melted slightly, and his eyes looked at him carefully with kindness.
Jonny noticed the light cast from the corners of the room converging in one place, and looked at the figure in front of him, which was no different from a real person, and his heart was amazed, but there was no expression on his face.
"It's been more than half a year, Jonny, and from your mother, your symptoms are suddenly showing signs of improvement." Jonny's father, Robert. Kent spoke.
Jonny looked at him and saw that the father of this world was dressed and Ruvio. Charleston's over-collared tunic was, he guessed it was a formal attire, and where he was so faded that he couldn't see the scene behind him, he lowered his head and didn't speak.
"I'm very busy with my job and didn't fulfill your duties as a father when you were growing up, and I'm sorry." He said suddenly.
Jonny felt strange in his heart, but he still decided to bow his head and remain silent.
"You are a good boy, Jonny, I was and will be my proud child, in this regard, I have never changed my original intention, I am not by your side and your mother, maybe when you grow up you will understand, maybe you will understand and forgive me." Robert sighed as he rubbed his hands in front of his chest with some embarrassment.
"What the hell are you doing?" Jonny spoke suddenly, startling even himself, and the curiosity in his heart was haunted by the desire to know why this mysterious father was going to stay away from the family for some great thing.
"Me?" My father was also a little surprised by the sudden question. "I serve on the Development Committee, and as you may know, I can't come back because I've been working outside of Provideston or other galaxies all year round......"
"How many galaxies away? Can you still ...... Real time...... Real-time calls? For some reason, Jonny couldn't control himself, and couldn't help but express the doubts in his heart.
"Oh, the Unity's ultra-long-distance signal transmission technology, what? Didn't you teach it in that school? Robert said a little strangely.
Jonny shook his head.
"Then you're learning, and that's the most important thing." His father's encouragement said: "Jonny, protect yourself, take care of your mother, you are already a man, study hard at Newton High School, master what you must master, learn what you must learn, think often, be patient, I will keep in touch with you as usual." ”
Jonny looked at the serious father in the influence, and for no reason he nodded his head, waiting quietly to hear what he wanted to explain.
"I'm going to talk to your mother a little more." That's just what Robert said.
Joanna had been staying at the door of the living room, and when she heard this walk into the house, she stroked Jonny's back with her hand, and Jonny walked out of the doorway, but did not clasp the door, but leaned against the door to listen to the conversation between her parents.
"As you said, Jonny is getting better significantly, but what makes me wonder how he speaks like a featherman?"
"My concern is that he can finally have a normal conversation with everyone, and you always pay attention to some strange details, Robert." Joanna frowned, very disapproving.
"I'm worried about the direction you're leading and your strange thoughts, Joanna, the feather god doesn't exist, how many times do you want me to tell you?" Robert stared into Joanna's eyes.
"We've passed the stage of arguing with each other's beliefs, and I've never led my children to do things to my liking, but what about yours? Robert, the child doesn't even recognize you, don't you ever think about that? ”
The mother's killer weapon refuted Robert in one fell swoop, the middle-aged man no longer spoke, but looked at his wife with gentle eyes, and Joanna, who was soft in her heart, said softly: "Robert, can you submit your resignation report and go home?" ”
In the video, Robert shook his head slowly: "Not recently, no one can take over my work right now, maybe in a few months, wait until the project plan has passed the critical stage." ”
Joanna was full of hope, and she couldn't help but be angry at this reply, and she said angrily: "It used to be a child who was meant to disgrace your Kent family, but now? Do you still want to hide on Heisenberg's rotten planet to avoid people's eyes? She almost burst into tears.
"Joanna, I've been telling you, I've never blamed you, I've never disliked our children, why don't you always listen, now our relationship with the Walken people is not as good as the outside world thinks, the border situation is fierce, and a big war can happen at any time. As a member of the Development Committee, I am currently dealing with the supply coordination of more than a dozen colonial galaxies, and I must prepare them for the sudden catastrophe that ensues. He looked at his wife, his eyes softening. The well-being of millions of Silver Alliance citizens is not a good time to take care of their children, and believe me, Joanna, the sacrifices we have made are worth it for the future. ”
"Puxing's hundreds of thousands of development committee staff, is there a lack of you Robert . Kent? Joanna narrowed her eyes and said angrily before her husband could open his mouth to distinguish: "Keep your excuse to talk to the bureaucrats of the Silver Alliance!" She angrily pinched off the remote communication, sobbed softly, and stood in the living room waiting unwillingly, but her husband's communication did not call again.
Joanna sighed and walked out of the house with teary eyes, and in her hazy vision, she saw her son sitting on the grass in the distance and looking up at the stars.
She looked at her only flesh and bone lovingly, shook her head to abandon the grievances in her heart, wiped away the tears in her eyes, and tried to smile, Joanna shouted in a pleasant voice, "Jonny, it's time for dinner." ”
