Tommy and Martin's dinner was eaten at Jeff's house, and the people at the same table were not only Jeff and his wife and their four children, but also Jeff's sister Gina, who was temporarily staying here for the time being, and Jeff's two smart friends who were also volunteer school workers, Zach and Allen.

Everyone was full of curiosity about the camera not far away that was shooting at them, and from time to time they glanced in the direction of the camera, and they didn't even dare to speak, bowing their heads and silently eating their own food, lest some of their small movements be filmed, and then appear on the TV set, becoming the laughing stock of the audience.

Tommy looked at Martin, who got up and asked the cameraman to turn off the machine, and then sat back to tell everyone that after today's shoot was officially over, and the camera had been turned off and would not continue recording, everyone at the table relaxed again.

Jeff's wife, Jessica, helped distribute food to the four children while smiling at Martin and asked, "Mr. Hart, after Jeff signed up for the election, he had to be filmed by this machine every day?" Anything that a group of us do is likely to be filmed and then shown on TV? ”

"Just call me Martin, it depends on what it is, if it does need to be recorded, it will be included, but if it's something as trivial as eating and watching TV and going to bed, I don't think it will come out, Mrs. Lavin." Martin took a mouthful of sweet mashed potatoes and smiled at Jessica.

As soon as he said what he thought was appropriate, Martin felt that something seemed to be wrong, because he felt that many pairs of eyes at the table suddenly lit up.

Jeff's eldest son, who is just 10 years old, is the first to ask, "Will I be filmed farting in front of the pool in the backyard, Mr. Martin?" ”

"I don't feel like this kind of behavior needs to be recorded." Martin said dryly, and then realized a question: "Wait a minute, why are you going to the yard to do such a thing as farting?" ”

"I've heard people say that if you put some magnesium powder in your butt and spray it at the pool, you can make a big splash." The kid happily described, looking at Martin longingly: "If I can blow up the water so that everyone in front of the TV can see it?" ”

“What？” Martin's eyes widened: "Your dad signed up for the election, and you're going to celebrate with a firework on your ass?" Also ready for all the viewers in front of the TV to enjoy together? ”

Gina, a 20-year-old Caucasian girl who came to Miami from Tallahassee to find a job and is currently living at her sister and brother-in-law's house, looked at Martin with some anticipation: "Can I show the dance to the camera?" I was a major member of the cheerleading team in high school, and I wanted to find a dance-related job, or I could change into a dance costume and perform for her. ”

"It's not a TV job search show, but if you insist...... Of course I'm willing to appreciate that I'm not a person who is good at saying no...... I mean, in a few months, I'm done with Jeff's campaign, and I'm ...... Maybe it might help you. Martin saw that Jeff's sister-in-law was even willing to perform a dance for him in order to find a job, and the words of refusal could not continue to remain firm, and his eyes began to glance at Tommy, who was eating mashed potatoes next to him.

If Tommy doesn't object, Martin won't have a problem finding a job on BT TV for Gina, who is willing to dance for him.

Hearing that Martin was willing to help, Jeff's second son also immediately spoke: "The camera caught my chest hair, and the Abigail family sitting in front of the TV will also see it?" I have vigorous chest hair, just wait half an hour, can I show that machine? Of course, I'd like to show you first, Mr. Martin, just like Gina. ”

"Child, what did your mother feed you? If you do have that thing, you shouldn't see me, you should go to the doctor! Martin looked at each other with a skeptical expression.

"So...... Bob said that the black stray cat he often feeds was shaved, did you do it? Jessica reached out and patted her second son's head and said sternly: "Listen clearly, I will withhold your pocket money until the cat grows hair again, and exchange all the money for cat food to compensate it." ”

The second son said confidently: "I asked Abigail's father yesterday if he could marry Abigail to me, and I would take her home, and her father said that after I grew chest hair and was no longer a little child, I would ask him such a bad question, and he didn't want to go to prison for violently beating children." ”

In addition to Jeff's two good sons and sisters-in-law, Jeff's two smart friends also rushed to tell Martin their strange ideas, so that the audience in front of the TV could see their heroic appearance.

Tommy, who was undisturbed, quickly finished the dinner carefully prepared by Mrs. Jeff, and then left the table and walked to the living room, leaving Martin alone, somewhat desperate to continue to deal with the expressive Florida family.

Jeff walked over a moment later and saw Tommy standing in the living room, looking at an old photo hanging on the wall, and saying, "That's a picture my dad sent from Vietnam." ”

"Your dad was a soldier too?" Tommy asked, looking at the man in military uniform in the photo.

"Yes, he was drafted into the army shortly after the Vietnam War broke out, and then he went to Vietnam, the photo was sent in 1965, when I was 9 years old, about two months after receiving the photo, my mother received the news that he died in Vietnam, my mother later remarried, and my stepfather moved out of Miami, leaving me in the care of my grandmother, and with the help of the church and the neighbors, my grandmother raised me as an adult." Jeff said to the man who came over and looked at the man in the photo with Tommy:

"By the way, Zach said that you and Martin can go to live at his house during this time, and he is the only one in his house."

"I remember you said that you also served in the military?" Tommy asked, shifting his gaze from the photo to Jeff's face.

Jeff nodded: "Yes, it belongs to the 13th Military Band of the Florida Army National Guard Station Miramar Station. ”

“What？ You were responsible for blowing the trumpet when you were in the service? Tommy was stunned on the spot and asked a little frantically.

Jeff immediately explained: "No, I'm not a musician, musicians need to be specially recruited, I serve in the logistics squadron of the 13th Military Band. ”

"I will contact the Miami Veterans Association in the next few days, if the other party agrees, when arranging for you to visit those old guys in the association, you must remember clearly, you are only allowed to tell them that you are serving in the US Army, if it is more detailed, it is the Florida National Guard of the US Army, if it is more detailed, it is to serve in the logistics squadron of the National Guard headquarters, in short, don't mention the military career of helping to move musical instruments in the military band with a proud face like at this moment." Tommy thought for a moment and admonished Jeff.

"yes, why didn't I think I'm going to the Veterans Guild?" Jeff showed a look of abrupt realization: "We can reveal the truth about the shape of the earth to those warriors who have truly made great sacrifices for this country, and true heroes should not be deceived. ”
