At the dinner table, Mary had been secretly observing Dan, as if she wanted to study Little Sheldon's friend thoroughly.
Seeing Dan whispering to little Sheldon, the sensitive mother's face suddenly turned serious.
She pinched her husband, who was just drinking beer next to her, and whispered, "George~"
and then motioned to her husband to see Sheldon and his friends.
George thought Mary was worried that Sheldon's friend was being left out. So he said carelessly: "Dan, which country is your name?"
Dan looked up and saw George's kind face, and explained: "This is the name of Yuenan, sir."
It can be seen that he was still a little reserved.
When George heard that Dan was from Vietnam, he became interested. When he was young, he served in the military and went to fight in Vietnam. He had his own views on that small and backward country.
However, as two different parties, they naturally have different feelings about the war. George simply couldn't understand how traumatic the war had been for Dan and his family.
As he watched, George seemed to be unaware and chatted with Dan about the war.
Grandma Connie on the side suddenly shouted: "George~"
George stopped talking, turned his head and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"I want to drink cold beer, go get me a bottle." Grandma Connie A bossy look.
"Well, you are really good at asking people." George was defeated by Grandma Connie's eyes and complained and walked to the refrigerator.
Mike quietly gave Grandma Connie a thumbs up. Others at the table may not understand what Grandma Connie meant, but Mike knew that although Grandma Connie seemed to be "bullying" George, she was actually taking care of Dan. guest's feelings.
Mary on the side seemed even more uneasy after learning that Dan was from Yuenan.
When she was thinking about how to "question" Dan, Mike took the lead and said: "Dan, which class are you in? Do you have any hobbies?"
Mike, a handsome man who is excellent in all aspects, is very interested in For Dan, it is an existence that needs to be "looked up to".
Seeing Mike taking the initiative to talk to him, Dan felt a little flattered.
Seeing that the other party's tone was very friendly, Dan was so excited that he stupidly revealed all his information.
Then, under Mike's deliberate guidance, Dan, a simple child, revealed information about his family.
Finally, in a friendly atmosphere, Dan took the initiative to talk about the hardships he suffered as a child.
"I'm so sorry about what happened to you," Mike said after hearing Dan's story.
"Thank you~" Dan felt Mike's kindness, and after talking to him, he seemed to feel much better and more at ease.
Little Sheldon beside him, his emotional intelligence seemed to suddenly come online at this time, and he immediately expressed his concern for Dan.
As Little Sheldon's caring words came out, the relationship between these two equally innocent friends seemed to have deepened at this moment.
When George came back with a cold beer, he found that the dining table was already a happy scene.
George: Finally I don't need to liven things up anymore!
After placing the cold beer in front of Grandma Connie, George, who was happy and relaxed, also drank the beer comfortably.
As for Mary, after fully understanding Dan's situation, she gradually accepted Little Sheldon's friend.
...
At the same time, a conversation was also going on at Katie's dining table.
Katie has been acting a little weird since she came back today. She rummaged through the wardrobe, which she never cared about, and hummed a tune in her room.
This kind of active performance was completely different from her previous two weeks.
At the dinner table, Katie's mother asked carefully: "Katie, how was your day at school?"
"Not bad~" Katie had a smile on her face.
Katie's parents saw their daughter smiling and looked at each other in understanding. Katie's mother continued to ask, "Did you encounter anything good at school?" "
I had my first friend, and his name was Mike. , He is a very good person." Katie said, thinking of Mike's handsome face, her little face couldn't help but feel a little hot.
The name Mike sounded like a boy. Seeing his daughter's shy look, Katie's father immediately became alert.
He pretended to be casual and said: "What grade is Mike in? Do you have any bad habits? At home..."
"Dad!" Seeing that her father was getting more and more outrageous with his questions, Katie immediately interrupted him, and then said dissatisfied: "We just just Got it!!"
In order not to arouse his daughter's rebellious psychology, Katie's father could only look at Katie's mother for help.
Katie's mother understood and said gently to her daughter: "Katie, tell us, how did you meet Mike?"
Katie also felt that the process of getting to know Mike today was very dreamy, so she happily shared it with her mother. at this time.
On the side, Katie's father couldn't stop smiling when his daughter mentioned the boy named Mike.
This old father couldn't help but exude a sour smell.
His daughter couldn't make friends at school before, which made him very distressed. Now that his daughter has made friends and seems to be "obsessed" with each other, this time Katie's father is not only distressed, but also a little sad.
While Katie was still praising Mike, he whispered to his wife: "Katie has never participated in a group life. We have to check her first friend. Maybe that kid named Mike is a bad person. Yeah!"
Seeing her husband's nervous look, Katie's mother advised, "It's a good thing for my daughter to make friends at school, but your reaction is too much."
"Aren't you curious about what kind of person that Mike is? Katie's father asked rhetorically.
Katie, who had been studying at home, was suddenly sent to school.
In fact, Katie's mother is worried about her daughter's safety just like other mothers who have just sent their little girls to kindergarten.
Hearing her husband's question, Katie's mother was shaken: "Maybe we should meet Mike to see if he is as good as our daughter said."
"That's right." Katie's father concluded: "In a while Just find an opportunity and ask your daughter to invite that Mike to your home. We can also see each other's character..."
Just at this moment, Katie had just finished talking about how she and Mike got to know each other.
Katie's mother took this opportunity and said, "Katie, your father and I are very happy for you that you can
make friends. In this way, you can invite Mike to your home tomorrow. Your father and I can do the same for you." Treat your friends."
On the side, Katie's father saw his wife completing the task so quickly. After quietly giving a thumbs up, he echoed: "Yes, I will treat your friends well."
Katie did not Hearing the ambiguity in her father's words, she thought for a moment and said, "Wouldn't it be too abrupt..."
Just when Katie's parents were about to be disappointed, she heard Katie say again: "Why don't we change it to the weekend? There is plenty of time."
"Okay, that's it, it just so happens that your dad and I are both free on weekends." Katie's mother said with a smile.
In fact, Katie's parents are both zoologists and have their own independent studio, so there is no need to clock in for work.
So no matter what time Katie invited Mike to her home, they always made time.
...
On the other side, dinner at the Cooper family had just ended. Mike, who was carrying his football protective gear and preparing to go back, met little Sheldon and Dan at the door.
The two were preparing to go to the garage to study rockets.
Perhaps because Mike gave him a toy train, little Sheldon unexpectedly invited him: "Mike, do you want to see my homemade rocket?"
Well, Sheldon has been arrogant since he was a kid. Judging from his expression, he was showing off to Mike.
"No, thank you." Mike declined, and then reminded the other party: "If your rocket is equipped with a power system, I advise you to 'launch' in an open place." "
Thank you for the reminder~" Little Sheldon Arrogantly leading Dan, he walked past Mike.
I don't know if the other party listened to my advice.
Mike shook his head and walked toward Grandma Connie's house.
