Chapter 14: Jack's Thoughts
Since they have decided to get married, whether it is Jack or Ruth, they are not people who like to procrastinate, plus Ruth is pregnant, if she doesn't get married quickly, it will not be good to be pregnant at that time, so after discussion between the two, the wedding date was quickly set.
The third Saturday of the following month, June 16.
Carefully calculated, it was only 18 days before they got married.
After deciding on the wedding date, because he had to be busy with the marriage next, he didn't have much time to deal with the company's affairs, so the next day, Jack went to the company and gave Andy authorization, authorizing him to take full charge of the company's affairs for the rest of the time.
"Who else are you going to write to?"
In the bedroom, under Ruth's reminder, Jack had already written the invitations to all the families in the community, but she found that Jack did not put down his pen, but took another blank invitation and continued to write.
At this moment, she was curious?
As far as she knew, although Jack was born in Chippervalfoss, Wisconsin, USA, his parents had long since died, and none of his relatives or elders had been killed.
"Could it be...... Is it written to his friends? ”
Ruth guessed in her mind.
In fact, Ruth guessed correctly, Jack was indeed writing to a friend.
Although his parents died, he was not unsociable, and he still had some friends who played since childhood.
As for why he planned to invite those friends?
At first, he actually had the same idea as Ruth, just invite neighbors who were willing to come to the wedding, but then he thought about it and planned to invite those friends from his hometown.
As for whether those friends want to come or not, then he doesn't care.
If someone is willing to come, it will be even better, there is still more than half a month before the wedding, and the remaining time is almost enough for them to come over.
Moreover, there was still an idea in Jack's mind.
Not to mention those who did not come to his wedding, for those who were willing to come to his wedding, they must still regard him as a friend.
Right now, when he is at the beginning of his career, he just lacks people he can trust, and if he can invite one or two people to work for him, then he has earned it.
Because in this era when the professional manager system is not perfect, it is more trustworthy to have a good relationship.
"Are these people your friends?"
Watching Jack write one name after another on which she had never heard of it, in the end, Ruth couldn't hold back and asked Jack questions in her heart.
"Yes." Jack nodded in confirmation of Ruth's guess.
Seeing that Jack confirmed her guess, Ruth smiled, and then, she didn't know what to think, and suddenly sighed.
"Honey, what's wrong?" Seeing this, Jack asked with concern.
"I miss my mother......" Ruth suddenly saved Jack, and tears flowed silently.
After being rescued from the Carpathia, she and Jack spent most of their time hiding in the spare room of the Carpathia's boiler warehouse in order to avoid Carl, and they were afraid that Mrs. Bookett would reveal the news to Carl after learning that she was still alive, so they did not recognize Mrs. Booker.
However, in order to let Mrs. Bookett know that she was still alive, when she arrived in New York, at Jack's suggestion, she and Jack were both registered under their real names.
In this way, when Mrs. Booker, who thought that her daughter had been buried in the Titanic, went to the insurance company to receive her daughter's insurance money, the insurance company that knew that she was not dead would definitely refuse to pay, and then inform Mrs. Bookett of the news that she was still alive.
After knowing the news that her daughter is still alive, knowing that her daughter is deliberately hiding from her Mrs. Booker, she will definitely return to England in the end if she really can't find her daughter.
Now, the wedding date of the two has been set, and she suddenly thought that she could not get her mother's blessing when she got married, so she suddenly became like this.
Ruth didn't know how much Jack had paid for love, so he quickly wiped away her tears, and then said to her: "Wait for me for two years, and after two years, we will go back to Gloucester to visit my mother together, and if she wants, we will bring my mother to the United States and live with us." ”
"Really? Jack, can you say that again. After listening to Jack's decision, Ruth, who was surprised, looked up at Jack and wanted Jack to say it again and let her know that she had heard correctly.
Requirements for Ruth. Naturally, Jack was satisfied, so he said, "I said, wait for me for two years, and in two years, we will go back to Gloucester to see our mother, and if she wishes, our mother will come to America and live with us." ”
"You're so nice, Jack."
After hearing Jack's decision, Ruth suddenly lifted Jack's face, met Jack's lips and kissed her.
This kiss, Ruth seemed to be going to kiss until she was old, and Jack was a little out of breath, so she stopped unsatisfied.
Feeling him look at Ruth, he smiled and said, "Honey, I want to ......"
Hearing this, Ruth shook her head violently, and after stroking her belly, which still couldn't see anything, she refused: "No, the doctor has instructed that you can't ...... during pregnancy."
"Alas......"
……
Time is never subject to human will, and in the blink of an eye, the time is the last day of May.
That morning, Jack looked at a message published in the San Francisco Observer and was silent for a long time.
"Wilbur Wright, one of the inventors of the airplane, died yesterday in Dayton, Ohio."
For the Wright brothers, who appeared in the Chinese textbook, Jack is no stranger.
How to say, in his opinion, the Wright brothers, who have realized the long-awaited dream of human beings to fly, are more like capitalists than inventors.
Although the two brothers invented the airplane and are also known as the father of the airplane by later generations, after the invention of the airplane, they spent all their energy on fighting lawsuits and collecting patent fees, and rarely invested in the research and development of new technologies, so that the aircraft manufacturing technology was gradually surpassed by Europe.
Because of their behavior, the United States has made a joke in the world.
As the country that invented the airplane, during World War I, the United States actually forced the United States to order a large number of planes from France for actual combat because its own aircraft were far behind European aircraft.
"Now that Wilbur Wright is dead, it's not far from Orville Wright selling Wright Corporation!"
"I remember that Orville sold the Wright Company around 1915, and when the time comes, will I have a chance to buy it......"
Jack was distracted.
Although Wright's aircraft manufacturing technology has been backward, as the world's first aircraft manufacturing company, its heritage is still very deep.
If you buy it yourself and then invest a lot of money in research and development, it will not be too difficult to catch up with European aircraft manufacturing technology.
Because European aircraft building technology, although it surpassed the United States, did not surpass it by much.
