Chapter 18: Family Gatherings
Outside the gate of the 'Lower Farm', Steven finally stopped his motorcycle and dragged his sore nephew down, and Johnny waved Steven's arm away in annoyance, and his uncle laughed loudly, apparently thinking that his nephew's reaction was quite funny.
"You've always wondered how I could have such a beautiful car, haven't you? Johnny? Seeing his nephew ignore him, Steven began to talk and paint himself.
"This kind of antique has been extinct in the human world for hundreds of years, and you have to pay a lot of money to buy it from a bloodthirsty collector, and whether such an old tooth can be used on the road is a question." He shook his head.
"Since I was a child, little Steven has wanted to have an acetinol alloy beauty like this, it's really cute, isn't it? Johnny? Today's Big Steven gently stroked his locomotive.
"So I've been waiting for an opportunity, and I've joined Tomorrow's Better as a mechanic." Steven pouted exaggeratedly.
"Until me and Hackett. The Nelson couple found an old EQ-3000 rack and a few design drawings in the company's old scrap warehouse, and that's how the dream finally came to fruition. ”
"But you can't go out on two wheels and a rack to play with someone, how to get him to run is the key, right?"
"You're also going to need a couple of key components, a gearbox, a belt drive, a fluid cooler, and a stroke engine, right?" He asked, and Jonny nodded his head in return.
"For this reason I searched all the thrift stores and flea markets run by the Kezmians in the city of Wenzhi and Junziwu, but found nothing. Just as I'm struggling with all this, Tracy. I was approached by an old watch from Glenn, who actually told me that in the semi-underground Barrecas Passageway, they were selling these old things that humans had eliminated. Steven began to gasp and get excited.
"I never thought that these wolf-headed people would have the same hobbies as me, and the private goods in their links would make me scream on the spot!" Steven screamed.
"Then there's the easy part, slapping them in lingua franca, saying a few words of crap like long live the Kanders, tens or hundreds of kroner, and the 'expedited delivery' will send them from hundreds of light-years away."
"My baby won't come easily, Johnny, and I'm willing to bet that there are more than a finger of non-intelligent vehicles that can run in the entire Wenzhi City, but guess what, since the coalition government has abolished the traffic police, we can run amok from now on, let those damn Kareseon flying cars see the feather god, my car is the real king of the road!"
"They should re-establish the traffic police department for you," Jonny whispered to himself, prompting Steven's curious inquiry, and he quickly shook his head to say that he hadn't said anything. Steven shrugged, noncommittal, parked his bike by the gate and turned around to rub his nails into the stubble of his chin.
"You're not the same as you used to be, Jonny." He stared at his nephew with amusement.
"I used to think you were like me, of course, the taciturn version of me, but now I feel more like your father."
"And I don't like your father, he's a clever bastard." Steven touched his chin and commented, this time it was Jonny's turn to be noncommittal.
"But I still like you, you little villain." The uncle reached out and ruffled his nephew's hair. "Promise I won't talk to my grandmother or your mother about motorcycles." He suddenly became nervous.
"And your dad." He thought for a moment and said.
"Shall we ...... How did you get back? Jonny blinked and looked at him with a genuine expression.
"That's a good question." Uncle Steven scratched his head.
……
……
Surrounded by a vast sea of yellow bosom wheat fields, the core of the main building is a drop in the ocean compared to the farm's footprint, a two-story nano-brick house surrounded by eye-catching white painted walls.
As soon as Jonny followed Steven into the wooden courtyard gate, he was lifted in the air by a large man in the prime of life.
"It's so fast, it's almost impossible to move." The big bald man is Jonny's other uncle, Andrew. Taylor, Jonny was startled by his actions, and when he landed safely, he realized that the huge long table in the room was almost full.
"Good little baby." An elderly woman greeted the door and took Jonny in her arms, and Jonny saw her in the photo and said softly, "Grandmother." ”
"Feather God blesses, obediently know how to call people, the baby has finally grown up." The old man's eyebrows and eyes were full of the gentleness peculiar to a yellow-skinned woman, her voice trembled slightly, and she wiped the moist corners of her eyes with her fingers after speaking.
"Your Uncle Steven didn't embarrass you, I asked your third uncle to pick you up, but he had to volunteer to run away." The old man raised his hand and pinched Jonny's chin, the expression on his face was extremely kind, and Jonny found in her the source of his mother Joanna's faith and virtue.
"The car is driving slowly, but it's okay." Joniti Steven hidden.
"Liar." Mei looked at Steven who was smiling and didn't dare to speak, as soon as the biker party came home, he was obedient like a kitten, and when he saw the old lady's eyes, he immediately hid in the kitchen to help his sister.
"Your mother is a brilliant cook, she is the Ibic of our Taylor family, and her chef is indispensable for family dinners." Jonny's maternal grandmother, May. Taylor explained.
"Good boy, sit down with grandpa." The old man at the long table, who was like a bell, greeted Jonny.
Jonny saw men and women, young and old, sitting at the long table, all staring at him with interest.
"Grandpa." He said to the old man shyly.
"Good, say hello to your uncles."
Johnny was in trouble, and he couldn't name any of them, he was stunned and couldn't do anything, and his grandfather had to sigh when he saw it.
"It doesn't matter if you can't remember it every time." The Taylors were accustomed to his situation.
"Uncle Nathan, Uncle Cameron, Uncle Daniel, Uncle Lucas, and your Uncle Andrew." Jonny's grandfather introduced Jonny one by one, this kind of scene must have been experienced many times, everyone looked at Jonny with a smile and pity, but what they didn't know was that this time, Jonny would never forget everyone's name again.
"I'm your Outer Announcing Langdon. Taylor, that's your grandmother, May. After the old man had introduced the main members of the family, he told the names of the other aunts, nephews and nieces.
