In Seneca City, more than 300 kilometers away from Raccoon Town, Linda's family was finally reunited after a few years. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Linda and her mother cleaned up the dishes with their mother after dinner, and then they sat on the sofa in the living room, 10 minutes ago Shen Gang called himself and said that he would return home to reassure them, and Linda chatted with her mother over black tea.
"He bought you a new car and practiced in the dance room?"
"Yes."
"No wonder you're in such good shape. Still want to dance? You didn't want to have a baby? Linda's mother said with a smile.
"Shen, once said. We haven't decided yet, Shen said listen to me. I thought I could go back dancing after Kethalin went to kindergarten this year. Or as a dance teacher, if I were a professional actor, I think I could dance until I was 33-35 years old. Linda said.
"Really? This cheongsam is really good! ”
"It's Ruifuxiang, China's time-honored brand! I bought it from the internet. ”
"It's Rui Hongxiang, right?"
"Mom, you know?!"
"It's hard to buy my size, I'm old."
"You're not fat at all!"
"Hey! Your dad always said that. Child, was your marriage too hasty? ”
"If you always think that I am married to a yellow man and you doubt my marriage, is it right for me to marry a white man? Will I be happy all my life? Linda said with some grievances.
"My daughter, why are you so excited. It's not good to wait until I'm done with my words! Actually, I didn't think you would be so loving and harmonious. I thought you were on the spur of the moment, fighting with your father, adding fantasies about love, understand? ”
Linda's mother took her daughter's hand and said lovingly.
"Shen is a very careful person. Mom, I want to say sorry to Dad, I know I went a little too far, but you know what. How much it hurt for me to be slapped by him! I feel like I've been cheated! I began to doubt everything. Actually, if he could come to our house once, I wouldn't be angry with him. Is it so hard for everyone to sit down and talk? Thanks to Shen running in the middle. ”
"Then why don't you doubt Shen's love for you? Silly girl. ”
"I, I think I was in love at the time. You don't know how innocent Shen is, Mom. ”
"yes, for love."
"You don't know how happy your dad was to see the picture of Catherine! Especially the one where she tap-danced. She must be a little dance queen in the future! ”
"This is Shen's idea, Mom, you really sold all the previous houses?! Coming to live here? That's when Linda remembered when her parents moved.
"No, daughter. The house is rented. Your dad is going to put Shen to the test! He said that you are too ignorant of his existence by marrying without permission, you know? There is no respect for parents. Linda was about to reply.
"No, don't excite the child. I don't object to your reaction to your father beating you, but if you say that he is also your father, you might as well bring Shen home for him to see. Look at this, you just left home and got married, you don't know how sad your father is. ”
There was no trace of resentment and accusation in the mother's tone, only worry about her daughter's life.
"Do you think I don't want to? But Dad's temper, you saw it just now. What if, he impulsively pulled out a gun and killed Shen. ”
"This old thing! The old accounts are always endless! ”
"That's right, Mom! I'll take you back to Raccoon Town in August! It's beautiful there! Akere Forest Park is so charming! Have fun! Shen Chong cooks Chinese peasant rice for you! Or go to a Chinese restaurant to eat, you know? Shen Chong fell in love with Raccoon Town as soon as he came to Raccoon Town! Linda said that she was impatient to her mother and said that she believed that nature could purify people's hearts, think about it! Shen and his father get rid of the fish together! How wonderful.
"Okay, we'll definitely go when we're done."
"Finish?! What's up?! Linda asked, puzzled.
"This? How so? It should be said that Shen has passed the first two levels! ”
Linda looked back and her father had returned from outside! And let the Catherine ride on his own neck! Playing the game of pilot.
"He sent you back to show that the other person is not bad. Kid is ok! I thought he was the kind of wreck who couldn't change his mouth, scolded and didn't change his hands! I'm flying!! My little princess! ”
Linda's father said as he played with his little granddaughter.
Linda's father is 58 years old, with gray hair, but he is still very strong, he served in the U.S. Marine Corps when he was young, and participated in the Korean War with the army! After retiring, he started from the bottom of the society, and his body training was very good! The elderly usually like to run, exercise and boxing. Whenever people communicated, he would say dazzlingly, "I fought with the Chinese in North Korea!" "People will be impressed with him very quickly!
"Daddy! You are unreasonable! How can you do that! Shen is a scholar!! He's not a soldier! It's not fair! ”
"Humph! Or my daughter! I'm here for your good! If you are bullied, he can't protect you, what will you do! I'm here to make you see him. ”
As he spoke, the old man pressed a bag of ice cubes against his right eye, and his left eye socket turned blue.
"Then I'll go to the police! If you can't do it, buy a gun and kill the person who bullied me! ”
Linda stood up and replied-for-tat.
"Then he should fight too! And not you! "The old man is done! Stand up and take the ice pack off and throw it on the table! His right eye socket was purple, and both eyes were light and purple.
At this time, the little granddaughter next to me quit!
"Grandpa is a giant panda!! I'm going to ride grandpa!! Going to ride a giant panda!! ”
Accompanied by a childish childish voice, Catherine's lovely and innocent eyes looked at his grandfather.
"Good! Come with Grandpa! The old man said that he picked up his granddaughter and walked out of the living room and went to the back garden.
"Daddy! Wait, I know you're good for me, thank you for all you do for me! Shen Chong has been learning boxing with Mr. Cody for more than half a year in 98! I didn't tell you. ”
Linda wrapped her fingers around her father and said gratefully.
"What? Who is Cody? ”
"It's our neighbor, Cody. Sundson. He used to be a captain-level officer in the U.S. Army and the fourth place in the army boxing competition, and he and Shen Chong were like a pair of brothers. They worked out and boxed together, and he said that Shen had a strong background as a professional athlete. ”
"Got it!" The old man walked away without knowing what to do, and muttered:
"When you get married, you don't recognize your father! Don't be a reminder either! How do I know that kid has been boxing for more than half a year!? I was going to win! Unexpected! Don't get complacent! Brat. ”
As early as not long after Shen Chong and Linda entered the door, Shen Chong and Linda's father came to meet! This is the first time the two have really looked at each other face to face! Shen Chong was very cramped, it stands to reason that he should call the old man "Dad!" "But they are not very mature now, and the old man is not as strong as Shen Chong thought. The two also said a few words, and then Linda's father said, "Come with me to the study!" Child. ”
Linda and her own mother were stunned, it was so touching! I didn't think that so soon, my father accepted Shen! They could imagine the two of them sitting on the sofa opposite each other, their words turning from cold to frank, and finally transcending skin color and cultural background, Shen Chong excitedly called out "Dad!" "Just like in the movie, throw yourself into your father's arms, and the two of them may cry! Then the family gathered around to eat roast beef.
Sure enough, there was a burst of noise in the study!
"This is for him! Here you go! Gratuitous! Come on! Don't care! Let the horses go! Bang! ”
After a short while, the door opened! Shen Chong's eyes were blue! Bloodshot nose and corners of the mouth! The jacket on my body is also a little messy! Pretending to smile at Linda, Linda understood at a glance! The beautiful dream just now was awakened by the cruel reality!
"Shen!! Let's go! After Linda finished speaking, she was going to pick up the child and leave!
Shen Chonglian said that he was persuading, and Linda's mother also apologized for this, when Linda's father walked out of the study. I saw him walk out with one eye blue and one eye purple.
And yelled, "It's not over yet!" I am coming! ”
Shen Chong said calmly, "Goodbye, sir." Let her stay with you more, I'm gone, goodbye dear. Listen to your mother's words, little girl, your father is coming to pick you up in more than a month, thinking of calling me! I'll hang up the phone when I get home! ”
Linda watched as Shen Chong got into the car, then drove onto the road and finally disappeared into the road from which he came. For some reason, I felt a little uneasy in my heart.
Is it a woman's intuition?
