Chapter 284 Going home
Scott helped Ron and Nadya buy their train tickets home, and that afternoon, they got on the train home. In the slightly swaying carriage, the night passed quickly. Then it was dawn,
They got on the bus, and just like last time, as soon as the three white people, Ron, Nadya, and Scott, got on the bus, a large group of black people immediately ran to the back of the bus.
Obviously, although Nadya has been in the United States for a long time and she is already aware of this strange law, she is still not used to this situation. "The evil racial discrimination! The evil capitalism." From then on.
This Russian sentence came out of her mouth quietly.
Ron could only smile at this. He knew that although legal equality could be used to cleanse the United States, according to the law, if a white person sits at the back of the bus, then as long as a black person gets on
car, he also had to get to the front compartment. However, Ron himself did not
If you agree with this apartheid system, you will naturally not clean up the system. And even if you do, Nadya, who has been taught by the party, will say, "The law uses its sacred equality and prohibits the poor at the same time."
The rich are prohibited from begging on the streets and sleeping in streets and bridges.
However, Nadya just complained and had no real intention to stand up and lead a civil rights movement. She just muttered in a low voice and said nothing more. And not long after, her attention was attracted by the scenery outside.
.
At this time, the bus was driving along the interstate highway. At this time, the car had entered the mountainous area and began to climb higher and higher. The light blue wet mist outside the window gradually faded and disappeared. The dark blue sky appeared.
When you come out, you can still see a silvery moon, but the faint morning light has already appeared in the eastern sky.
Ron touched Nadya's shoulder and said, "Hey, look over there! Below 9 o'clock." At the same time, he stretched out his hand to point in a lower direction.
Nadya didn't immediately realize what "below 9 o'clock" meant. But Ron's stretched out finger solved the problem. Looking in this direction, Nadya discovered that the morning fog had not dispersed.
, it still shrouds the earth, like a thick quilt, covering the earth that is still sleeping. I just saw the fog dissipate just because the car I was riding in had climbed high enough and was higher than the ground.
It's just the layer of mist on it.
"It's so beautiful!" Nadya said. Looking at it from the current angle, the entire land is covered with an endless stretch of slightly undulating blue mist, like a vast sea, and the peaks far and near look like
Islands floating in the sea.
"Look over there." Ron pointed towards the left front of the car. There was a high mountain over there. It was still dark at the foot of the mountain, but the top part was already sparkling with sunlight.
"After crossing this mountain range, we'll be home." Ron held Nadya's waist and whispered in her ear.
…
The bus bypassed a red maple forest and stopped on the roadside. From here, you can see Ron's house in the distance. Ron's parents were already waiting on the roadside. As soon as the bus turned off
After stopping, they came out to welcome him. Yesterday, Ron sent another telegram to his family, so they all came out to welcome him now.
As soon as the car stopped, Nadya helped Ron get out of the car. Old Sean and Lucy who came over noticed Ron's abnormal gait and the incredibly beautiful woman next to him.
"Ron, what's wrong with your legs?" Old Sean spoke first, "And this is Miss Nadya you mentioned?"
"Dad, it's nothing. I accidentally got bitten by a small mosquito." Ron deliberately pretended not to care, "The doctor said, it's absolutely fine, it's just a little inconvenient for a short time. Well,
This is my girlfriend, Nadya. This is my lieutenant, Scott. Well, Nadya, this is my dad - he's an old fogy. This beautiful lady is my mom, Ms. Lucy. And there are two...
"Ron then began to introduce his family to Nadya.
"I know, these two children must be Katie and Mary." Nadya knelt down, stretched out her hand and touched the faces of the two little girls, "You are so cute. Let me guess, um, you
It’s my sister,” Nadya patted the taller one on the left, “You are Katie.” Then she touched the face of the shorter girl, “You are Mary, right?”
"How do you know?" the shorter girl replied.
"Idiot, that's because I'm taller than you, so I'm your sister."
"Mom said, I'm not stupid, and I will be taller than you in the future!" Little Mary pouted and retorted.
"Now you're just not as tall as me!" Katie said, then turned to Nadya, "Hello, Auntie! Auntie is so beautiful!"
"Okay, it's windy outside, so we'd better go inside and talk." Old Sean said.
…
Ron's return home this time made old Sean and Lucy happy and sad. Fortunately, their son not only came back with a gold star on his shoulder, but also brought back a beautiful girlfriend.
What is sad is that his son is obviously injured, and according to him, he will not be able to stay at home for a few days, and may have to go back to the front line in a few days.
However, everyone suppressed these worries and unhappiness in their hearts and only showed happy expressions. Lucy even left Ron aside, held Nadya's hand, and kept talking.
"Mom! You can't be a traitor like this. Can you please stop talking about those bad things about my childhood! And don't sell my sovereignty casually!" I heard my mother talking to Nadya about the things that happened when I was a child.
I have been careless since I was a child. I often buttoned the wrong buttons when I was a child. "Once I put both legs into the same trouser leg, and then I looked around for my other leg."
Crying to my mother, 'My leg is missing'", what... well, it's not a glorious thing anyway. Finally, my mother would like to add: "This silly boy has made people worried since he was born. Fortunately, he is better now.
, I finally have someone who can take over my class and take good care of him. Ron is a good boy, but sometimes he likes to be naughty, so he has to be spanked when it’s time to do so, and he can’t just be spoiled..."
Oh my god, this is even more outrageous. He even said the words "you have to spank when it's time to spank"! Ron quickly added: "Mom! I am your son!"
At this time, Ms. Lucy raised her head, adjusted the reading glasses on the bridge of her nose, and said slowly: "Of course I know. Is there anyone in the world who knows you better than me? I know that all your problems can be corrected."
If it doesn’t work, it’s useless to tell you. Of course, I can only tell Nadya..."
At this time, Nadya also raised her head, smiled naughtily at Ron, and gently waved her fist. Ron was so angry that he was furious in his heart: "I must spank this little girl's ass hard in the future!
"
Since there is no way to stop my mother from continuing to sell her territorial sovereignty, she can only quickly change the subject.
"Mom, Dad, where is the eldest brother? How is he now?" Ron said.
"He'll be back from get off work in two hours. What else can he do? It's good. His life is very regular. Your sister-in-law takes good care of him. Unlike you, who likes to mess around since he was a child and won't let him go at all. It saves people worry.”
Sure enough, Ms. Lucy was fooled, and the topic immediately turned to a less uncomfortable direction. However, seeing that his mother's last sentence meant to continue to accuse him, Ron quickly asked: "What about the second brother?"
Is there any news?"
Ron didn't hold too much hope when he asked this. He knew that his second brother had gone to the guerrilla zones in China, and the news there was not easy to spread back. Generally speaking, as long as there is news about the second brother
, Mom and Dad would mention it in their letters to themselves, but the last letter didn’t mention it. It’s only been two short weeks, so logically there shouldn’t be any new news.
However, this question made both parents excited.
"Don't tell me, your second brother really has new news. God is so good! Just yesterday, he asked someone to send us a message from that place in China where he is..."
"Shandong!" Ms. Lucy added.
"Yes, that's Shandong! He asked someone to bring a letter to us from there, and he also brought back some very small candied dates and a very rotten pistol. The dates are very good and sweet. Tear them open
You can even pull out long golden threads... Lucy, go and get some of that thing out for Nadya and Ron to try."
"Yes, yes, I almost forgot if I didn't tell you!" Ms. Lucy stood up and said to Nadya: "Wait here, I'll get the candied dates." Then she walked towards the kitchen, the two of them
The little girl immediately followed her, shouting as she ran, "Grandma, we also want to eat!"
"This is really good news!" Ron said. Since the war started, the second brother has been uneasy in this family: the eldest brother is an engineer, so the possibility of accidents is very small. Although Ron is on the front line,
He is now a senior commander, and the possibility of dying in battle is also low.
They are already very young, so there is no need to worry. Only the second child went to the guerrilla zone to fight guerrillas. In that kind of place, the enemy must have the upper hand. Fighting there is still so unique.
White people, God, it’s scary to think about old Sean!
"This bad boy also has a letter, which says that he is living a good life in Shandong and is not dangerous at all. The writing is very exaggerated, but I'm worried that this boy is bragging. Ron, you are a senior officer. Can you help me?"
Let me see how much water there is in this bad boy’s letter and squeeze it out!”
Old Sean stood up, walked to a cabinet, opened a drawer, took out a stack of letters from the bottom, looked around, and took out the thickest one. He also took out a
A pistol in a leather holster.
"This is the letter from the second brother, and this gun. The second brother said that he got this from the Japanese. This gun is very bad and can easily misfire, but you don't have to worry about it now. On the way back,
