Chapter 2 Adoptive Parents Without Shame or Impatience
Adopting a child is a relatively common and normal thing in American families.
Penny and Johnson have been married for three years, but they have never had children.
Because Johnson was injured in his early years, although it did not affect the life of the couple, he also lost his fertility.
In this case, unless Penny is ready for divorce, adopting a child becomes their only option.
And it happened that when they appeared in the welfare home, Wang Hao, who was quiet and obedient, well-behaved and sensible, and had an oriental elegant face, was also taken in the welfare home.
It's not a day or two that Americans like to adopt Chinese children.
At the data level, at least one-fifth of the children adopted by Americans each year are from China.
Well-behaved and obedient, polite, usually get along, mature as if Wang Hao is like an adult.
For Johnson and Penny, this child is a gift from heaven.
And Wang Hao is not made of clay, he has been together for so many years, and he has not been moved at all.
Although he was originally an adult, Johnson is also in his forties, and there is nothing wrong with being his father by age, but it is okay to be an older brother when he is a big deal.
Therefore, Wang Hao and Penny get along very well and have a good relationship.
Although it didn't go so far as to talk about everything, Wang Hao already recognized them as his family from the bottom of his heart.
"Today, when you come to the new class, are there any beautiful girls?"
"Hey, Penny, look at your husband, he's thinking about other women."
"Boy, how can you do this? Am I looking out for you? ”
Penny gave the two of them a blank look and reached out to place a large bowl of tomato egg soup on the table.
Because Wang Hao is not used to eating Western food, Penny spent a lot of time learning the recipe of Chinese food, and then they also fell in love with Chinese food.
So now their family eats Chinese food at least five days a week.
"Okay, my little handsome guy, tell Mom, do you have a favorite little girl?
Did any little girl write you a love letter? ”
Americans are very open to this aspect, and for them, it is very abnormal for them not to fall in love in junior high school and not hold hands with one or two little girls.
Johnson bragged to Wang Hao more than once about how he swept the whole school back then.
And now that they are all in high school, Wang Hao doesn't even have any girls he likes, which is not good news for them.
"Okay, okay, you know, those dazzling girls in the school are too superficial and not the type I like."
"Oh yes, our handsome little Chinese guy likes a lover with gentleness and connotation."
Johnson waved his hand exaggeratedly and teased Wang Hao.
"However, you're seventeen years old, and you've reached the age of legal marriage, so aren't you still a virgin?"
Johnson approached Wang Hao, as if he was going to whisper something, frowning, but he said in a voice that everyone in the room could hear.
"Hey, Penny, take care of your husband."
Wang Hao knocked on the plate to express his dissatisfaction.
"Alright, Johnson, my little handsome guy is going to be shy."
Penny looked at Wang Hao dotingly, and also stopped her husband's unscrupulous teasing.
"By the way, how are you doing today?"
Johnson paused, put down the braised pork that had reached his mouth, and shrugged.
"You know, those customers are still so troublesome and difficult to deal with, don't they know to be considerate of us people?"
Johnson works for an insurance company, and his income is at the highest level in the United States.
However, I am also very busy on weekdays, often need to travel, and sometimes I can't see anyone for ten days and half a month.
"Alright, well, hard work my warrior."
"It's nothing for you."
"Oh, I guess I'd better go up, I just happened to have almost eaten."
Looking at the two people looking at each other with affection, Wang Hao, who was forcibly stuffed with dog food, also protested, and if he didn't leave, he would have spicy eyes.
"Hey, stinky boy, the next time you interrupt my emotions that have been brewing for so long, your pocket money will be gone."
Johnson's roar came from behind him, Wang Hao also smiled, and then walked upstairs.
American students have very little homework after school, and it is generally the kind of after-school practice stuff, so the after-school time after school is an important time for students to develop hobbies.
And Wang Hao's after-school activity is to draw comics.
He used to be a translator, well, learned 2.5 languages, Chinese and English are not bad, and also taught himself a Japanese, but he didn't learn it in textbooks.
Other than that, he doesn't have any other survival skills.
However, here is the benefit of returning to his childhood.
We have often thought about what to do if we do it all over again, whether we live and want to be the same as before, to be a poor sling who eats soil, or to work hard, no longer waste time, and become a human being.
Wang Hao said that he now has a chance to do it again.
In his previous life, he lived a decent life, but now he has more choices.
Why not choose to try more wonderful and enjoy a more interesting life.
Especially when he knew that there was something missing in this world, and he could take a shortcut to success with this, Wang Hao had already made up his mind in his heart that he wanted to be chic so as not to waste the opportunity to be reborn.
Wang Hao was a pseudo-otaku in his previous life, and he was very keen on otaku culture, that is, the second dimension.
For American comics, Japanese comics and even Hong Kong comics are quite familiar.
For a certain point of the novel, I have also read it for more than ten years.
And this world, to be precise, the Marvel world, he actually tried to investigate after hearing about Magneto's reputation and Stark Group.
Luckily, there's no Gotham City, there's no Wayne Group.
So, it's just a simple Marvel world, although I don't know how many numbers it is.
But fortunately, in this world, there is no DC Marvel Comics, and there is no Pirate Hokage Death.
Not to mention those novels that blow up the earth at some point.
Therefore, after spending a year and not finding out that he had any golden fingers, Wang Hao put all his attention on his comic company plan.
That's right, the comic book company promotes DC in the Marvel world, spreads the three major migrant manga all over the world, and makes Dragon Ball fighters burn Marvel's blood.
Well, this ideal is still quite lofty, and it sounds remarkable.
However, there is a problem, that is, Wang Hao has only read comics, but he can't draw.
So, how important it is to be able to do it all over again in life, and isn't it enough for people to envy that the carefree school days are coming again and allowing you to spend nearly another decade learning a skill?
