Chapter 28: American-style community gathering


   "Father, I invited a neighbor over tonight, okay?"
   Demi was helping his father carry the oven, and at the same time asked his father, he invited Jin Xiantai, a neighbor, to participate in the evening barbecue.
   "Oh, that's great, it's a little more crowded. 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. He has dark brown hair and big black-rimmed glasses. He is also in good shape. He has no beer belly and fat on his body. At first glance, he is a person who pays attention to exercise.
   There is a very strange phenomenon in this place in the United States, that is, fat people are generally poor, while white-collar and even rich people rarely appear fat, and they will maintain a very good body.
   This phenomenon is somewhat opposite to the East.
  In the East, fat people are mostly rich people, while thin people are poor.
   In fact, the reason and reason are very simple. The rich can spend money on fitness to keep in shape. Of course, the poor have no money to keep in shape.
   Moreover, the rich can buy expensive organic food to eat, while the poor can only eat cheap inorganic food or junk food. Of course, they cannot compare with the rich or even white-collar workers.
   Demi’s father wears big beach shorts and a black T-shirt, which is the standard dress of most American men in their leisure time.
   Demi’s mother is also in jeans and a T-shirt. There is nothing too special about wearing it.
   Speaking of most people in the United States, they are very casual and casual. Even the rich people will dress like this.
   Therefore, Americans are always laughed at by Europeans, saying that the rustic dressing up of Americans is like a hillbilly.
  In this regard, the Americans did not take it seriously.
   Of course, this refers to the formal wear of Americans in their leisure time, when they go to work or attend important meals and parties.
   Generally speaking, when you are at home, everyone wears casual clothes.
   "Dad, the neighbor I invited is only 16 years old and is already the father of a child."
   Demi was still a little girl after all, and finally did not hold back and told her father about the matter.
   "Huh!? Is that a bad boy?"
   Obviously, Demi's father wanted to get crooked, thinking that Kim Hyun Tae was a bad boy.
   Demi shook his head quickly and explained: "It's not what you think, Dad! There are very complicated reasons for this. In short, he is a good boy, and you will understand when you see him."
Humph!
   As for the daughter's explanation, the father is very noncommittal.
   There are children at the age of 16, this is not what a bad boy is!
   In short, Demi's father had already preconceived before meeting Kim Hyun Tae and regarded Kim Hyun Tae as a bad guy.
   At this moment, Kim Hyun Tae came to Demi’s backyard.
   After all, the two families are neighbors, and they are only a few steps away, not far at all.
   Standing outside the fence made of white-painted wooden slats at Demi's home, Kim Hyun-tae held his daughter in one hand, and raised the beer in the other, and greeted Demi and his father.
   Demi saw Kim Hyun Tae and immediately left his father behind, then led Kim Hyun Tae in and came to her father.
   "Hello Sir, I’m William King, you can call me King, I live next door, we are neighbors."
   Kim Hyun Tae put down the beer, Demi carried the beer aside, Kim Hyun Tae stretched out his hand to Demi’s father and introduced himself.
   Although he wanted to give Kim Hyun Tae a cold face, Demi's father responded out of courtesy.
   "I'm Demi's father Nat Harlan, you can call me Mr. Nat, over there is my wife Anna, and my eldest son Jack."
   Nat has one son, one daughter and two children. The eldest son is Jack, who is already in college, and his daughter is Demi who is still in ninth grade.
   and his wife Anna is a full-time housewife.
   Following Nat's introduction, Jin Xiantai greeted both Anna and Jack.
"Come on, kid, help me carry this barbecue box over there." Nat was not seen at all, and started to arouse Kim Hyun-tae, but this is also a normal American personality, so Kim Hyun-tae is not used to anything. , After all, he has lived in this time and space in America for almost a year.
  Holding his daughter in one hand, Jin Xiantai put one hand on the handle of the oven, and Nat and the two moved the barbecue box to the edge of the garden.
   "I heard that you are already the father of a child, and you are only 16 years old?"
After putting down the barbecue box, Nat didn’t need to work on the rest, basically the children or his wife took care of it. So Nat was just idle, so he just talked about it with Kim Hyun Tae. .
   Based on the fake life experience of an alien elementary school student, Kim Hyun-tae answered Nat. After listening to Kim Hyun-tae’s response, Nat understood all the ‘everything’, and finally he had a better impression of Kim Hyun-tae.
  Nath realized that there were some complicated factors in it, not what he thought.
   "It's hard work, take the kids alone."
   Mr. Nat, who has changed his mind about Kim Hyun Tae, has unknowingly softened his tone in the next conversation with Kim Hyun Tae, and has become a lot more friendly.
   "It was very hard. After all, I was still a student at that time. It was indeed a little powerless to take care of the children while going to school." Kim Hyun Tae continued to answer Nat based on the fake experience of the alien elementary school students.
   "So I had to drop out of school and do two jobs a day to support myself and my children. I also had to leave the orphanage."
   Following Kim Hyun Tae's remarks, Nat seemed to empathize with him, raising his hand and patting him on the shoulder.
   "Everything is for the children. If I were you, I might have made such a choice, and maybe even I am not as good as you."
   For Kim Hyun Tae’s experience, Mr. Nath is very sympathetic.
   "Mr. Nat, it's nothing, my financial conditions have improved a lot now, much better than a few months ago, otherwise I can't live in this community." Kim Hyun Tae smiled at Nat.
   "Oh? What's the matter?"
   Nat looked at Kim Hyun Tae curiously.
Kim Hyun-tae smiled and said to Nat:
It’s no big deal. A novel I wrote using my part-time job was picked up by California Cultural Press and published. The royalties for the novel after publication have relieved me of financial pressure. chant."
   Oh, I really can’t tell, this boy is still a writer!
   At this time, Nat had to take a look at Kim Hyun Tae Ko.
   "Really, you really worked hard."
   Nat said to Kim Hyun Tae very sincerely.
Jin Xiantai sighed and said, "There is no way, people are forced out. I have to work hard to succeed, otherwise there is no way to change my destiny. Besides, I have a daughter, and I have to work hard for her. Isn’t it a success? Generally speaking, my luck is wrong, and the novel is fancy, otherwise I don’t know how long I will struggle."
   "The novel is fancy because you wrote it well, it has nothing to do with luck, I think you are a little humble." Nat interrupted in a timely manner.
   During the chat between the two men, one big and one small, Demi, her mother and brother had already prepared the barbecue meat and other things, so Demi walked over and interrupted the conversation between the two men.
   "Dad, Jin, everything is ready over there, you can go and have a barbecue while chatting."
   Hearing this, Mr. Nut looked at Kim Hyun Tae: "Come on, boy, let's go over there and eat and talk."
   "Come on! Just take care of the baby, I will take care of the baby very well." Demi volunteered to hug Coco.
Seeing that his daughter was going to take care of Kim Hyun-tae’s daughter, Mr. Nat laughed and said to Kim Hyun-tae: "Give the child to Demi, no problem. My daughter always uses her free time to help some people in the community take care of the children. She earns pocket money, so she is very good at taking care of children."
  Since Mr. Nat said so, Kim Hyun-tae had no reason to refuse, so he handed the little guy to Demi.
   After being held in Demi's arms, the little guy began to chuckle and laugh, and at the same time two little hands began to touch Demi's full-bodied breasts.
"Haha, little guys are like this. Demi touched her mom like this when she was a child." After all, he raised two children, so when Mr. Nut saw Coco's behavior, his face showed nostalgia. The look of the past, and then revealed her daughter's old bottom, causing Demi to suddenly make a big blush.
   Fortunately, Demi is really experienced in taking care of children, so she also knows that most children as old as Coco will be like this, but she is not angry.
   smiled apologetically to Demi, and Kim Hyun-tae followed Nat to the dining table.
  Nath introduced Kim Hyun Tae to his family, and told his family that Kim Hyun Tae was still a young novelist. His wife Anna, son Jack, and even Demi showed unexpected expressions.
   Nat’s wife Anna is very enthusiastic and keeps greeting Kim Hyun Tae to eat. The eldest son Jack is a big boy who looks a little shy and doesn’t like to talk much.
   Because Demi wants to take care of Coco, her attention and energy are put on the little guy's side.
   It's Kim Hyun Tae and Mr. Nat who have a very active chat here.
As the barbecue dinner at the Nat’s family began, Mr. Nat began to ask his son Jack to invite the neighbors around one by one. The invited neighbors also gladly brought his wife and children to the Nat’s house. Backyard~EbookFREE.me~ According to Mr. Nat, there are so many people, he likes it!

   The next thing is simple. Everyone eats barbecue and drinks beer. A bunch of middle-aged men begin to behave arrogantly. Among them is a ‘young man’ like Kim Hyun Tae.
   But Jin Xiantai has been accepted by these middle-aged men. After all, according to Nat, he is already a father, so he cannot be treated as a boy.
  This statement was agreed by all middle-aged men who became presumptuous because of the effects of alcohol.
   Therefore, Jin Xiantai also became a member of the carnival middle-aged group.
