Chapter 5 The Toledo Family

Blue sky and white clouds, cracked asphalt road, the classic Dodge Challenger stopped in front of a standard American-style single-family house. .shung

The housing prices in Los Angeles are not low, after all, Hollywood is not far away, but the housing prices here are not very high, after all, this is Los Angeles, not Hollywood.

Naginitang's mood has been low, but Irving is full of energy.

He believed that with his own efforts, Naginitang would definitely accept it and integrate into this family.

It was already afternoon when I came back from Angel Orphanage.

Irving did not go to the auto repair shop. He had many things to deal with today. It was important to bring Naginitang home, and it was equally important for his family to accept Naginitang.

The youngest daughter Mia is an obedient and well-behaved child. Owen is not very worried. He believes that in a month at most, Mia and Naginitang will become a loving family.

But oldest son Dominic Toledo?

To be honest, since his son entered the rebellious period, he has become less and less willing to worry about himself.

He doesn't study hard on weekdays, and either fights or hangs out with those unscrupulous gangsters. Fortunately, with Vincent on the same street, even if Nick gets into trouble, he won't get into too much trouble.

I opened the refrigerator, grabbed a bottle of beer, and unscrewed the cap. The cold beer instantly dispelled the heat of Los Angeles. There weren't many things in the refrigerator.

Mainly milk, vegetables, and a few types of fruits.

In addition, there is also beef marinated by himself yesterday. In Owen's opinion, the best way to integrate into the new environment is food. He believes that there is nothing that a bbq cannot solve. If so, then two bbq barbecues!

He was holding a plate full of marinated beef, all large pieces of steak, marinated with celery, onions, tomatoes, black pepper, salt and other seasonings.

He looked at Naginitang who was sitting on the sofa in a daze, and invited with a warm smile on his face: "Nagini, do you want to help?"

Naginitang looked up at Owen, with a flash of hesitation in his eyes: "Is that okay? Uncle Owen."

Owen smiled heartily and happily, with even a bit of pride in his eyes: "Of course, before I got my first car, my dream was to become a barbecue chef."

"Then why didn't you become a barbecue cook, Uncle Owen."

"It's simple, because the sound of the engine is so charming. But anyway, my cooking skills are very good."

Relationships between people are always built on taking and giving from each other.

Whether it's Irving or Naginitang, they are both good at this.

Conversations with smart people are always enjoyable.

Naginitang was surprised. He didn't expect that Owen, who seemed "vicious" and didn't want to be a good person, actually had some ink in his belly.

His conversation, knowledge, and way of dealing with the world, as well as the unique humor and optimism of black people, make people feel good about him.

Unlike Naginitang's surprise, Owen's mood at this moment can even be described as frightened.

Is this a six-year-old?

You tell me, this guy who told me about the current national conditions, economic development trends, changes in music styles, and the future rise of the Internet is just a six-year-old boy?

For a normal six-year-old child, he only needs to be able to communicate normally and have a certain understanding of the world to be considered a qualified six-year-old child. After all, most children only think about TV and toys at this time.

If he hadn't known that Naginitang was just a six-year-old child, if he hadn't witnessed the other party talking to him with his own eyes, and those remarks that were unrealistic and even fanciful.

Owen even thought he was talking to an adult.

But even with those fanciful stories, Naginitang is now even more mature mentally than his own son who has entered the rebellious period.

Is this genius?

For the first time, Owen felt that the gap between ordinary people and geniuses was so huge!

However, everything in the world has two sides.

Naginitang is a genius. His mind is very mature. He should not look at the other person like a six-year-old child. This means that Naginitang does not have to worry about himself. It also means that Naginitang is very independent. .

Through the conversation while cooking, Owen could sense that Naginitang was not in a very good condition, which meant that the way he treated ordinary children hardly worked here.

Staring at Naginitang in front of him, Owen patted his shoulder.

His palm is very big, or Naginitang is still too small right now, so that the opponent's palm can not only wrap half of Naginitang's shoulder, but also leave a smaller half of his palm: "Nagini, I know if I leave Sa Mrs. Mansha will make you feel very uncomfortable, but trust me, you don’t need to be nervous, you don’t need to be nervous at all, just treat this place as home.”

Naginitang opened his mouth. He wanted to explain that it was not because of Mrs. Samantha, but after thinking about it, Naginitang finally sighed.

At the same time, from the street in the backyard, a seven or eight-year-old little Lolita who looked quirky came up.

She has long brown-black hair and beautiful eyes, as clear as the water of Lake Baikal. Her facial features are not open, but judging from the outline, she will definitely be a great beauty in the future.

Looking at each other, Naginitang looked at the little loli in front of him, but the other party ignored Naginitang. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Owen not far away arrogantly: "Dad, I'm back."

There was a smile on Owen's face, and he patted Nagini Tang on the shoulder: "Let me introduce you, this is your sister Mia, and this is your brother Nagini."

Little Loli was stunned for a moment, with a flash of surprise in her eyes: "Brother? Didn't you mean sister?"

But then, the little Loli shook her head and looked at Owen with a bit of coquettishness: "Forget it, I don't care about this. Dad, there is actually a barbecue today. You are a little biased. Do you not love me anymore?"

Owen flipped the steak with a smile on his face: "It depends on whether you listen or not."

But the little Loli looked at Owen with contempt: "Tch, I'm not a child anymore."

Owen didn't pay attention and asked casually: "Where is your brother?"

The little Loli shook her head, a hint of cunning flashed in her bright eyes: "I don't know, I guess you'll be back soon, right?"

Owen was stunned for a moment, then became annoyed: "Being back in a moment? Don't think I don't know. He didn't go to school at all today. Nick has become more and more disobedient recently. I told him clearly to come back early today."

Although I don’t know the specific situation, how smart is Nagini Don?

He is not a six-year-old kid.

It is certain that Irving is in favor of adopting him, but the future overlord of Los Angeles' underground racing scene, that is, the strong and bull-like Toledo, does not seem to be very interested in him.

As for the little Lolita, that is, the Mia who has not yet grown up, her attitude should be half and half.

A slight smile flashed across the corner of his mouth, and he secretly said something interesting. Naginitang looked at his adoptive father Owen next to him: "Uncle Owen, it's okay."

The little Loli was stunned for a moment, then she defended her brother: "Dad, look, Nagini said it's fine."

Owen sighed, with a flash of helplessness in his eyes: "Every one of you makes me worry-free."

Time passed by, and Naginitang's affinity was really strong. Perhaps because of his good looks, he quickly became familiar with Mia.

This made Owen a little depressed. He always felt that the relationship between Naginitang and Mia was better than his relationship with Nagini.

Is it because I am getting older and my appearance has declined?

It shouldn't be. Two days ago, Kaili asked me to treat her to dessert in the neighborhood (an American hint of consent to a relationship), but she refused because of her children.

Dinner was barbecue and a vegetable salad made by Mia herself. Although it was just mixing, Mia still felt very accomplished.

As for Toledo?

Sorry, he didn't show up during dinner.

Naginitang ate a lot, and his appetite surprised Irving. Six-year-old Naginitang ate almost three times as much as eight-year-old Mia, and even more than Irving.

If it weren't for the fact that Naginitang looked normal and showed no pain, Owen would have almost taken him to the hospital.

In fact, Naginitang didn't want to do this, but he had no choice. He had just turned into a basilisk and his body was consumed a lot. Moreover, both Naginitang as a human and Naginitang as a basilisk were at high speed. During the growth period, the body needs a lot of food.

Just like that, at about seven or eight o'clock in the night, Owen was holding Naginitang and Mia watching Tom and Jerry, and then the door to the house was pushed open.

Toledo walked in, and he was more than % similar to the Dominic Toledo in Naginitang's memory. Westerners develop faster. Although his face is a little childish and his body is not tall enough, Nagini Tang Nitang was sure that the other party was the street car king who would become famous in Los Angeles more than ten years later.

But compared to the wise and domineering big man in his memory, Toledo is obviously too young now.

He glanced around and saw Naginitang sitting on the sofa. Then he frowned and left without saying a word, leaving Owen with a helpless expression and smiling dryly to ease the awkward atmosphere.
