Chapter 28

"Father, I invited a neighbor to come over this evening, will you? "

Demi was helping her father carry the oven and asked her father about inviting Jin Xiantai, a neighbor, to join the barbecue in the evening.

"Oh, that's good. It's a bit more lively with more people. Anyway, if you don't invite me, you have to invite many neighbors. No problem. "

Demi's father is a typical white middle-aged man with dark brown hair and big black frame glasses. He is also in good shape. He doesn't have beer belly and fat on his body. He is a person who pays attention to exercise at ordinary times.

There is a strange phenomenon in this part of the United States, that is, the fat people are generally poor, while the white-collar class and even the rich class seldom have fat people, and their figure will be very good.

This phenomenon is somewhat contrary to that in the East.

In the East, fat people are mostly rich people, while thin people are poor people.

In fact, the reason is very simple. The rich can spend money to keep fit, while the poor have no money to keep fit.

Moreover, the rich can buy expensive organic food to eat, while the poor can only eat cheap inorganic food or junk food. Of course, it can't be compared with the rich and even white-collar workers.

Demi's father wore beach shorts and a black T-shirt, the standard casual look of most American family men.

Demi's mother is also jeans, T-shirt, wearing nothing too out of line.

Speaking of the majority of the people in the United States, they are very casual and casual, even those rich people will also wear this way to go out.

As a result, Americans are always laughed at by Europeans that they dress up as rustic people.

In this regard, the Americans did not pay attention to it. They did not care how comfortable they were. They did not care about other people's opinions and opinions.

Of course, this means that Americans wear formal clothes in their spare time, when they go to work or attend important dinners and parties.

Generally speaking, people dress casually at home.

"Dad, the neighbor I invited is only 16 years old and already the father of a child."

After all, Demi was still a little girl, but she didn't hold back and told her father about it.

"Well!? Is it a bad boy? "

Obviously, Demi's father thought that Jin Xiantai was a bad boy.

Demi shook her head and explained, "it's not what you think, Dad! There are complicated reasons. In short, he is a good boy. You will understand when you see him

Hum!

For the daughter's explanation, the father is very noncommittal.

Having children at the age of 16 is not a bad boy!

In short, before seeing Jin Xiantai, Demi's father had been preconceived and regarded Jin Xiantai as a bad guy.

At this time, Jin Xiantai came to Demi's backyard.

After all, the two families are neighbors. It's only a few steps away. It's not far.

Standing outside the fence of Demi's white painted wooden bars, Jin Xiantai holds her daughter in one hand, raises beer in the other, and says hello to Demi and his father.

When Demi saw Jin Xiantai, she immediately left her father behind, and then led Jin Xiantai in front of her father.

"Hello, sir. I'm William king. You can call me king. I live next door. We are neighbors. "

Jin Xiantai put the beer down, Demi took the beer aside, and Jin Xiantai extended his hand to Demi's father and introduced himself.

Although he wanted to give Kim a cold face, Demi's father responded out of politeness.

"I'm Nath Harlan, Demi's father. You can call me Mr. Nate. Over there are my wife, Anna, and my eldest son, Jack. "

Nate has a son, a daughter and two children. The eldest son is Jack, who has already gone to college, and her daughter is Demi, who is still in the ninth grade.

His wife, Anna, is a full-time housewife.

With Nate's introduction, Kim said hello to Anna and Jack.

"Come on boy, help me carry this barbecue box over there. "But Nate didn't seem to be out of the ordinary. He began to use Kim Hyun Tai, but this is also the normal personality of Americans, so Jin Xiantai is not unaccustomed to. After all, he has been living in the United States in this time and space for nearly a year.

Holding her daughter in one hand, Jin Xiantai put the other on the handle of the oven, and Nate moved the oven to the edge of the garden and put it away.

"I heard that you are already the father of a child, and you are only 16 years old yourself? "

after putting down the oven, the rest of the work is basically done by the children or the wife, so Nate is free to talk about it with Jin Xiantai.According to the fake life experience of an alien primary school student, Jin Xiantai answers Nate. After listening to Jin Xiantai's response, Nate understands all the "everything" and finally has a change in his impression of Jin Xiantai.

Nath realized that there were some complicated factors in it, not what he thought.

"It's hard work, with the kids alone. "

Mr. Nate, who has changed his outlook on Jin Xiantai, unconsciously became more gentle and friendly.

"It was very hard. After all, I was still a student at that time. I had to go to school and take care of the children at the same time. "Jin Xiantai continues to answer Nate based on the fake experience of alien primary school students.

"So I had to drop out of school and work two jobs a day to support myself and my children. And I had to leave the orphanage. "

with Jin Xiantai's narration, Nate seemed to feel the same and raised his hand to pat him on the shoulder.

"It's all for the children. If I were you, I might have made such a choice. Maybe I'm not as good as you. "

for Jin Xiantai's experience, Mr. Nate is very sympathetic.

"It's nothing, Mr. Nate. My economic condition has improved a lot, much better than a few months ago. Otherwise, I can't live in this community. "Jin Xiantai smiles at Nate.

"Oh? What's going on? "

Nate looked at Jin Xiantai curiously.

Jin Xiantai said to Nate with a smile: "it's no big deal. A novel I wrote in my spare time was read and published by the California Culture Press. After publishing, the royalty sharing of the novel let me get rid of the economic pressure."

Oh, I really can't see that this young man is still a writer!

This time, we had to make Nate take a high look at Jin Xiantai.

"Well, you're really trying."

I'm very sincere with Nath.

Jin Xiantai sighed and said, "there is no way, people are forced out. I have to work hard to make progress, otherwise there is no way to change my destiny. Besides, I have a daughter. I have to work hard for her, don't I. On the whole, my luck is wrong. The novel has been read. Otherwise, I don't know how long I have to struggle. "

" it's not about luck that you write the novel well. I think you are a little modest. " Nath chimed in at the right moment.

In the small chat between the two men, Demi and her mother and brother had already finished the barbecue meat and other things, so Demi came over and interrupted the two men's conversation.

"Dad, Kim, it's all ready over there. You can go and have a chat over the barbecue."

Smell speech, Mr. Nate looked at Jin Xiantai: "come on, boy, let's go over there and eat and talk."

"Come on! Just look after the baby for me. I'm good at it Demi volunteered to hold cocoa.

Seeing that his daughter was going to look after Jin Xiantai's daughter, Mr. Nate laughed and said to Kim, "give the baby to Demi. There's no problem. My daughter always uses her spare time to help some people in the community look after children and earn pocket money, so she is very good at taking care of children. "

since Mr. Nate said so, Jin Xiantai had no reason to refuse, so he gave the little guy to Demi.

After being held in her arms by Demi, the little guy began to "giggle" and keep laughing. At the same time, her two small hands began to touch her plump chest.

"Haha, that's what happens to all the kids, and that's how Demi touched her mother when she was a child." After all, he raised two children, so when Mr. Nutt saw Coco's behavior, he looked nostalgic for the past. Then he uncovered his daughter's background, which made Demi suddenly blush.

Fortunately, Demi is really experienced in taking care of children, so she also knows that most children of Coco's age will be like this, but she is not angry.

Sorry to Demi, she smiles, and Jin Xiantai follows Nate to the dining table.

Nate introduced Jin Xiantai to his family and told them that Jin Xiantai was still a young novelist. His wife Anna, son Jack and even Demi showed unexpected expressions.

Nate's wife, Anna, is very enthusiastic and keeps asking Jin Xiantai to eat. Jack, the eldest son, seems to be a little shy and doesn't like to talk.

Because Demi had to look after coco, her attention and energy were on the little guy's side.

It was Jin Xiantai and Mr. Nate, who had a very lively conversation here.

With the start of the barbecue dinner, Mr. Nutt began to ask his son Jack to invite all the neighbors around him one by one. The invited neighbors also happily brought their wives and children to the Nath's backyard.

According to Mr. Nutter, there are so many people and he likes it!In this way, more and more people.

At the same time, Jin Xiantai was also introduced to the neighbors by Mr. Nate as usual, so that everyone can know that they have a little writer, a single father, and a 16-year-old boy neighbor.

The next thing was simple. Everyone ate barbecue and drank beer, and a group of middle-aged men began to be wild, mixed with a "young man" like Jin Xiantai.

But Jin Xiantai has been accepted by these middle-aged men. After all, according to Nate, he is already a father, so he can't be treated as a boy.

This statement has been agreed by all the middle-aged men who have become presumptuous because of the effect of alcohol.

Therefore, Jin Xiantai also became a member of the carnival middle-aged group.

However, the wives brought by those guys gather together to talk about gossip, such as whose wife is out of the wall in the community, whose husband has a mistress outside. In short, housewives in the white community basically talk about gossip, which is a bit boring, but they are always enjoying it.

The children are playing around, playing with each other.

This is a very happy night, also let Jin Xiantai start a little bit to understand the content of American community life, and began to a little bit into it.

Even after drinking too much wine, Mr. Nate took Jin Xiantai with him and several neighbors who had good relations with him. After the party, he went to the strip shop near the community and made a lot of jokes
