201 Trip To Illinois Part 1
May is the season of violets in Illinois. Ross, who has been busy for a year, finally finds some free time and leads Gwen and others to a small town near the Mississippi River for vacation, where Ross's biological mother, Janet, settled after her divorce. It was the first time for Ross to visit the place in person.
Standing on a high place and looking around, there are large golden wheat waves undulating in the hot and dry wind, and the farmlands full of crops are neatly distributed, separated from the green cornfields in the distance by a straight water canal Facing each other in the distance, a few tall white oak trees can be seen on the edge of the wheat field. They have their tough and well-developed roots deep into the soil, and their emerald-like dark green branches and leaves are constantly swaying with the changes in the airflow.
This is a quiet and slow traditional agricultural area, where Janet and her second husband Gregory Sutter jointly run a 250-acre medium-sized farm, and their adopted daughter Skye lives with them. This time, Ross specially took the opportunity of a vacation to send Felicity, a talented female hacker brought back from another world, to let her and Skye do one-on-one special tutoring to improve the sister's computer skills .
The sun is hot outside, the women stay at home to chat and do housework, while the men do heavy physical labor in the fields, and Ross is no exception.
Wearing rough gloves and a wide-brimmed straw hat on his head, Ross tightened his grip on the rope in his hand, tied the half-dried grass that had been harvested by the mower and exposed to the sun for seven or eight days into a bundle, and then swung down the wooden handle of the guillotine , the sharp edge immediately chopped off the alfalfa branches of different lengths, and accompanied by a faint grassy aroma when the pasture was broken, he alone held up the heavy bale, and put it under the surprised and envious eyes of others. It was put into the shed of the mother's house. There, the piled hay will be compressed by workers, packed 777 times, and finally packed into containers, and shipped to pastures or processing plants along the Mississippi River through the farmer's terminal for sale.
"Good strength."
When Ross picked up the haystack and walked away, old Sartre and others cheered loudly behind. They didn't expect Janet, the son of a rich man living in a big city, to have such a good body. Westerners are very particular about this. value.
Gregory Sartre is a stout man in his fifties. His bronzed face is covered with wrinkles like knives. Although he has been exposed to the wind and sun for many years in the wild, he looks old, but he can still see it vaguely. When he was young, he was a heroic and heroic western cowboy, and other people were roughly similar in age to him. They were all Gregory's neighbors and friends in the town, and they came to Sutter's house to do odd jobs during the off-season.
In recent years, the weather in North America has continued to be dry, and the agriculture in the Midwest has suffered heavy blows repeatedly. Fortunately, the Sutter family's life is still passable. After the rise of Ross, although the Janets did not accept his funding, they did not reject various advanced products from cutting-edge laboratories, which provided a lot of convenience for their lives, at least when other families were still spending money on electricity, Sarah The Te family no longer need to think about power saving. The old-fashioned Ark reactor with simple structure and easy repair is enough to provide electricity for the whole town. Naturally, it is more than enough to supply this small and medium-sized farm. This saves a considerable amount of energy for the production and life of the farm. The cost is quite the envy of nearby residents and business owners.
After busying the whole afternoon, several men finally processed all the hay in the field. When the last bale of hay was delivered to the shed, all the strong men were sweating profusely, even the tip of Ross's nose was slightly sweating.
The afterglow of the setting sun made the ground red, and among the undulating wheat waves blown by the evening wind, several slender figures slowly came from a distance.
"You're tired, come and drink some lemon tea made by Gwen." Janet brought a few girls and came to the crowd with a thermos.
Greeting old Sutter, Gwen and Mary Jane smiled and ran to Ross to wipe his sweat, Patty, Skye and others took out large beer glasses one by one, poured ice for everyone A block of homemade drinks, let's all drink together.
After exhaustion, refreshing drinks are most in line with the instinctive needs of human beings. Ross drank a few sips and felt that some salt grains were slightly added in it, which can make the taste more mellow and properly replenish the electrolytes lost by the human body due to a lot of sweating.
This is Gwen's best skill, in fact, the only cooking skill she knows.
After chatting and laughing with Gwen and the others, Sla hopped over with Felicity.
Skye is 16 years old this year. Although this girl has had some very sad experiences before, she now shows a carefree face. Maybe the arrival of Ross has brought some changes to her fate , this girl was not as difficult and rough as he remembered, and her degree of hard work and studious was also greatly inferior. If it wasn't for her appearance and characteristics being exactly the same as Ross remembered, he almost thought he had misunderstood the person.
Fortunately, although not working hard enough, Skye's interest in studying hacking skills has not completely fallen, but the progress is not ideal. According to Janet's description, she spends all day in school thinking about how to play, leading a group of children to fight , Homework is not bad among classmates, but it is completely delusional to become a great genius.
In the past, Ross had high hopes for her. It is not so easy to get a loyal and capable assistant. He really wanted to make Skye the vibe girl he remembered.
Assumed the position of head of the information department of the cutting-edge laboratory.
However, after returning from another world, his needs are no longer urgent. The artificial interactive intelligence Gideon captured from Reverse Lightning can fully meet the management and research needs of cutting-edge laboratories. It is an intelligent butler that is not inferior to J.A.R.V.I.S , Ross is already thinking about how to combine Gideon with another artificial intelligence, Pallas, to make them go one step further and become a brand-new intelligent core with more powerful functions, so his requirements for Skye have been lowered a lot unconsciously, and now The reason why he still sent Felicity was to fulfill the previous promise, and at the same time, he also wanted to see how far Skye, whose fate had changed, could advance on another road.
For a few seconds while Ross was thinking, the two girls on the opposite side rushed over. Because of running too fast just now, Skye's pink face was covered with beads of sweat, and Felicity, who lacked exercise behind her, was even more out of breath by the students. Young people frequently wait and see.
"How is Teacher Si Mo Ke's Ability?" Ross raised the cup to his lips, and casually asked his excited younger sister. Although she used to talk to Ross often, it was the first time in her life that she had contact with him in person. Fortunately, she has a lively nature. She was restless, and soon became familiar after a brief stranger, and dared to play jokes in front of him as a younger sister.
"It's great, Felicity is the best hacker I've ever seen, and I learned a lot from her." Skye replied without thinking, and hugged Felicity's arm tightly with his backhand, two people in different worlds At this moment, I feel like a pair of beautiful sisters.
In fact, at the beginning she was not as enthusiastic as she is now, but after the two had a private contest, the young and inexperienced Skye was dazzled by the various tricks Felicity was good at, and was naturally convinced.
Ross didn't even look at Felicity's demonstratively smug eyes, and just shoved her aside.
"After your foundation is laid, I will introduce you to a better teacher."
Before Skye could answer, Felicity let out a yelp and jumped up like a kitten frizzing.
"Better? Brie Lawan, she's never been better than me!" She chased after Ross angrily, muttering behind Ross.
Ross ignored her, chatted with Patty and others, and was pulled aside by his mother Janet.
While in the middle, Janet has been keeping an eye on her son's news, and she's curious about the girls Ross brought.
Needless to say, Mary Jane, Ross's childhood sweetheart partner and a rising star on Broadway, is often reported in the newspapers.
Not to mention Gwen, she is the daughter of the New York police chief, this identity is enough to awe ordinary people, and she is also a rookie in biology. Awarded a master's degree in an exceptional way, with excellent intelligence and background.
In addition, it is said that there is Betty who was unable to come due to work reasons, and the general's daughter Ability is excellent, and her background is even more noble, and Janet is also very concerned about it.
Compared with them, Patty seems unknown, but from the heart, from the perspective of a mother and housewife, Janet is more optimistic about this girl. She thinks that Patty loves family life more than other girls, and the way she looks at Ross is also different. Extremely dependent.
Her son is surrounded by so many wonderful women, so privately, she wants to know what Ross is thinking, and really hopes that he can find a suitable partner for life.
It is absolutely impossible for Ross to tell her the exact answer. The mother and son chatted for a while and stopped asking. Everything is up to the young people, and the elders can only earn sincere blessings.
The setting sun sank into the horizon, and the sky was getting darker. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face of Ross, Janet was suddenly in a daze. The images of the boy in the past and the young man of today kept spinning in her mind. For a moment, she couldn't tell the difference Which one is the real child in my mind.
When she left her young son, Ross was still a young child who could only speak a few complete sentences. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years later, that lonely child has grown into an extraordinary man today. Even with Tony · The world-recognized genius entrepreneur like Stark is not inferior in comparison.
But how much Ross has paid for growing up alone from an orphan who left her parents to today, Janet really dare not think about it.
It wasn't until this moment that she realized how important she had lost because of a rash decision in her youth.
Gradually, she grabbed Ross's sleeve, tears streaming down her eyes uncontrollably.
"Ross.....It's great that mom can see you grow up healthy..."
Janet buried her head in front of Rossxiong and wept uncontrollably. People not far away saw her revealing her true feelings and opened their distance to allow the mother and child to communicate.
Ross fell silent, he couldn't refuse the mother of this body, he could only hug her stiffly.
At this moment, his consciousness seemed to fly across countless worlds, returning to the long-forgotten years ago. .
