Chapter 112: It's New Year's Day
After a few days of acclimatization, Mandy settled in New York in '04.
Su Chen didn't let her live in the manor with him, and besides, he didn't live here permanently, not to mention that James and Vespa always looked at him with strange eyes, just to say where did you get one again.
In order to prevent James and Vespa from leaking out their old background - the main thing is that the sweetheart's storage ZĂ i must not let Mandy know - so Su Chen is going to buy another small manor on Long Island, the area is not too large, the main thing is to facilitate him to "hide the golden house".
Mandy has never been a person who is happy to enjoy, and keeps asking when he can teach her the complete gun fighting technique, Su Chen is not stingy and reluctant to teach, it is really because he has no time.
After a few days in the world of King Haibian, when he left, the real world happened to be New Year's Day on January 1, 15, and he had to go home.
However, it seemed a bit unreasonable to leave Mandy like this, Su Chen thought about it carefully, and decided to send her to the world of [Torn Doom], preparing for her to learn gun fighting skills there for three months, which was just the right time for him to do something else.
The super killer girl was very satisfied with Su Chen's arrangement, she also wanted to see what the future world would be like, Su Chen prepared some small props for her, including power exoskeleton equipment that can enhance physical fitness, and told her never to kill people in that world, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
This time it went back and forth, and it took more than an hour to get in.
On the other side of the torn apocalypse, the whole world has completely changed, just like the dark ages of the European Middle Ages. After the end of the dictatorship of Jehovah's Church, including John. All were trying to learn and accept the arrival of the Renaissance.
John welcomed Su Chen's arrival. It's just that when Su Chen asked him to teach Mandy the art of gun fighting, he hesitated for a while, but finally agreed.
The reason is simple: in this new era of peace, the Church and the clergy would have been a thing of the past. The identity of the pioneer and savior may be judged by the newly formed federal government.
In fact, if Su Chen didn't appear again, John had planned to completely forget about his past. This naturally also includes the "gun fighting technique" he has learned.
However, after all, he still thanked Su Chen for the help he gave at the beginning, and this kindness was something he couldn't repay, so John promised that he would do his best to pass on what he had learned to Mandy.
Before leaving, Su Chenwu was a little uneasy, and quietly dragged John and asked him to help take care of Mandy, not only to guard against others, but also to himself. This girl belongs to me, and you can't let people run away.
John listened and smiled heartily, "Leave it to me." I'll let Mary take care of her. â
Mary is the woman who was caught and burned at the stake by John in the movie, and she is also the love of John's partner Patterje. People, Su Chen put his mind at ease. After saying hello to Mandy, he returned directly to the real world.
Finally got a Lori in his hand. But he was immediately sent elsewhere, which seemed to be more than worth the loss. Especially before he had time to eat the super killer girl, Su Chen always felt a loss in his heart.
Today in the real world is New Year's Day, schools, factories, and enterprises are all on holiday, and the Marine Research Institute, where Su Chen's parents work, is naturally no exception.
When Su Chen arrived home, his father Su Kuian and mother Ye Huilan had already returned early, and the two asked him where he had gone.
Su Chen's face did not change and his heart did not beat, he wanted to go outside to find a restaurant to order food just now, but he found that the better restaurant was overcrowded, and he could only eat at home today.
"New Year's Day is to eat at home to have an atmosphere, and celebrate the New Year!" Ye Huilan poked her husband with a smile, and Su Kuian also smiled and took out a cardboard box from the bag on the table.
"It's for you, it's a New Year's gift."
Su Chen took it and took a look and found that it was a watch.
Su Kuian explained: "We didn't catch up with your birthday, and besides, you are sixteen this year, and you have your ID card, so in the future, your mother and I will treat you as adults." The watch is just a symbol that helps us remind you to think twice about whatever you do when you grow up, and not to act recklessly when you get hot. â
Su's father is relatively fond of preaching, but he has always been to the point, and Su's mother has always been Xiao Gui Cao Cao on the issue of educating her children, and has never stood on the opposite side of her husband.
Su Chen listened quietly, without the slightest impatience, he grew up in this way when he was a child, and he never felt that there was anything wrong with what his parents said.
There are fewer and fewer people wearing watches these years, but the watch itself represents a lot of different meanings, and Su Chen also understands what his parents mean in his heart, which is nothing more than to remind him that as he grows older, he needs someone around him to stand up at a critical moment and remind him what to do, just because the Su family is in a special situation, his parents can only use this watch to replace this heart.
When the watch is worn on the wrist, it invisibly means that there is an extra layer of restraint on his body.
Su Chen smiled bitterly in his heart, if he let his parents know what happened to him in the past few months, he didn't know if they would be disappointed or proud.
In just a few months, Su Chen has gradually evolved from an ignorant teenager who has never killed a chicken to today's murderer without blinking an eye - although he kills scum villains, has never killed innocent people, and does not regard killing people as fun, he has still changed a lot.
When he asked about the price of the watch again, Su Chen was suddenly startled.
The watch is Longines, it is said to be a mechanical watch called the "Admiral Series", and the parents paid a total of 23,000 to buy this watch.
Twenty-three thousand is a floating cloud for Su Chen, but this watch is the most expensive gift he has received since he was a child.
Su Chen scratched his head, and finally took off the communicator on his wrist and replaced it with this mechanical watch.
Su Kuian also asked him to throw away the communicator directly, saying that he was such an adult, and he was wearing a cartoon plastic electronic watch that was not uncommon for elementary school students, and he really didn't look presentable.
This made Su Chen smile bitterly in his heart, the communication device of the future world, far beyond the technology products of this era for many years, in the eyes of his parents, it turned out to be just a rag of "primary school students are not rare"?
However, he didn't intend to defend anything, just took the communicator back to the bedroom and stored it.
After a while, Uncle Xie and Aunt Zhou next door also came over, and the two families made an appointment to make dumplings to eat together.
What made Su Chen arrive regretfully and fortunately was that Xie Lili did not go home on New Year's Day because she made an appointment with her best friend to go to Jimo Hot Spring.
However, he also knew that Xie Lili only couldn't see Su Chen on New Year's Day, but when it came to the winter vacation, she had a lot of time to be by Su Chen's side.
"Xiao Chen has changed so much recently, he looks more and more handsome, Lao Xie said yes?"
Xie Lili's mother, Aunt Zhou, pulled Su Chen up and down, the more she looked, the more satisfied she became, and seeing the meaning of her eyes, she almost pulled Su Chen directly to call her son-in-law.
Father Xie shook his head disapprovingly, he was also a beautiful man with thick eyebrows and big eyes when he was young, otherwise he would not have given birth to such a beautiful daughter as Xie Lili, but in his personal opinion, it is not good for a boy to be too handsome, and it is easy to provoke a little girl.
Especially the children of this year, it is completely different from his era, even if Su Chen himself does not take the initiative to provoke, there will still be people pestering him.
As soon as Father Xie said his opinion, the two elders nodded knowingly, and they also looked at Su Chen, but found that this kid looked at him left and right, pretending to be stupid, which made people itch their teeth.
"Huh? I just found out...... Xiaochen, have you grown taller again? Aunt Zhou played a round for Su Chen, and at the same time found another thing that interested her, "Take a tape measure and measure it!" I used to say that you should eat more, and you can grow taller in the future, but now let's see how it is, Aunt Zhou is not wrong, right? â
Su Chen scratched his head and said uncertainly: "It's one meter seventy-six now, right?" Probably still growing. â
Su Kuian is 1.76 meters, the father and son took off their shoes and stood side by side to compare, and found that they were really exactly the same height.
Su's mother Ye Huilan is not tall, only one meter and in her early sixties, because Su Chen has always been thin and small before, and she, as a mother, is still very worried that her son will not grow tall in the future, but now she can finally put her mind at ease.
Su Chen complained bitterly in his heart, Xie Lili was not there, and he, the only junior, became the object of discussion or ridicule between the two elders, but he couldn't ignore it, so he could only sit helplessly on the side, and there was a perfunctory thing without a match.
Finally stayed up until lunch, Xie's father and Xie mother said goodbye and left, Su Chen helped his mother wash the pot and wash the dishes, with a look of wanting to say something.
"Is there something wrong? If you have something, just say it, what else is there to be embarrassed to say with your mother? "Ye Huilan is as her name suggests, Su Kuian just fell in love with her thoughtful personality of Hui Zhilan, so he tried his best to pursue her.
Su Chen snorted, turned his head to look at his father who was smoking on the sofa in the living room, and said softly, "Wait a while, let Dad listen to it too." â
After cleaning up the trivial things in the kitchen, the mother and son came to the living room to sit down, Ye Huilan reached out and picked up the remote control, and turned off the TV directly.
"My son has something to tell us." Without waiting for Su Kuian to protest, Ye Huilan gagged him.
Facing the inquiring eyes of his parents, Su Chen said bluntly: "I'm ready to skip a grade, and I'll take the college entrance examination in half a year!" â
"What!?"
Su's father and Su's mother screamed, thinking that they had heard it wrong.
"Xiao Chen, this is no joke! How can a school like No. 2 Middle School agree to you skipping a grade? Besides, can your grades keep up? You haven't finished the first semester of high school, so it's not a good thing to be ambitious! Su Kuian said very sternly. (To be continued......)
