Rebirth of America, this is my time

Chapter 28 Surprise! (Seeking for further reading)

Now that I have the first pot of gold after traveling through time, what should I do?

Ethan admitted that, except for the sentence Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty. It became a luxury.

However, this is not important, because after getting the check, he already had a plan in his mind.

It was already six o'clock in the evening when Ethan Jones spent forty minutes walking home from the Atari factory.

Thomas, Linda and Evelyn were already enjoying dinner at the table.

Aunt Linda was very surprised by Ethan's appearance and greeted her: Hey~Ethan~ you came back just in time. We just ate not long ago. Come wash your hands and come together. At the same time, she also said with a smile: Thomas was here talking about you just now, and he has been concerned about whether you will come back tonight. If you had arrived a little earlier, you might have been able to see him preaching.

Before she finished speaking, Evelin nodded and echoed: Yes, yes! Dad is just like a fly! You are talking here, Ethan must come back tonight! I will use that car tomorrow Where’s Ford!”

What? What? What?

Evelin's words made Thomas speak suddenly.

Ben was still smiling when his wife was talking. He immediately put on a straight face and said: Evelin! You can't talk nonsense! I was obviously concerned about Ethan's safety just now! I was afraid that something would happen to him outside! Do you want to use it? The car doesn’t matter, right?”

Yeah yeah~ It doesn't matter, I'm the one talking too much.

Oh! What's your attitude? Evelin! Have you ever talked to your father like this? Thomas was a little angry.

Looking at the bickering between the two, Ethan looked happy.

He knew that the two people did not really quarrel. The so-called violent reaction was just the normal communication habits of father and daughter.

As for the pickup truck Thomas was talking about?

The Ford F-150 that Ethan drove was Thomas's treasure. As a farmer, the most common thing he did was drive that thing through the fields and mountains. If Ethan didn't need it urgently, he wouldn't be able to borrow it under normal circumstances. from.

It is precisely because Thomas is so rare about that stuff that every time Ethan drives away, he will talk about it for a long time as if he has lost his soul, and now...

Ethan rubbed his face and sat at the dinner table in a depressed mood.

Thomas, I'm sorry.

Ethan said: There was an accident today. You may not be able to see your Ford car for a short time.

‘! ! ! ’

The sudden words made the three people in the family turn their heads sharply.

What?!!! Aunt Linda raised her voice, stood up directly, and anxiously walked to Ethan, Ethan, what's wrong with you? Was it a car accident? When did it happen? Are you? how's it going?

Her hands flew, trying to find traces of injury on Ethan's body.

Didn't you go to San Francisco to attend some exhibition today? Evelin's eyes widened and she said, Something happened on the road? No! I didn't seem to hear the sound of a car just now!

Bright eyes stared at Ethan, trying to get answers from him.

What did you say? Thomas was even more confused. My car had an accident?

Oh! My old Ford is not strong! Are you okay?

As soon as the words came out, he felt something was wrong and said directly: Wait! When did you get into the car accident? Why didn't you call home? Sxxt! How many times have I told you! As long as you encounter something that you can't solve, then Just tell your family directly! Don’t wait until afterward to tell us!”

What is the situation now? Did you call the police? What is the result? Do I need to find someone?

The sudden concern made the air around him feel stagnant.

The anxious inquiry made Ethan's lips curl up.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost exaggerated, he raised his head sharply.

Dang-dang-dang-dang! he soundtracked to himself.

At the same time, he took out two checks from his pocket, waved them out of thin air, pushed the three-thousand-dollar check in front of Evelin, and thrust the two-thousand-dollar check into Thomas's hand, and laughed: Hahahaha~ You guys They were all deceived by me~

‘? ? ? ’

The sudden change made the three people present stunned for a moment.

And when Ethan told what happened today, they understood and their heads were full of black lines.

Ethan, what you mean is that you sold the game and also sold it to Atari. Because of the celebration, you drank a glass of wine. Because you remembered not to drink while driving and not to drive after drinking, you walked back. , and you originally wanted to celebrate this with us, but after seeing me thinking about the car, you wanted to give us a...surprise by scaring me?

Thomas frowned and summarized Ethan's description.

Yeah! Ethan nodded vigorously, clapped his hands, and said loudly: Surprise!!!

You are Surprise!!! Ethan shouted and earned a slap from Linda.

Ouch~ Ethan shouted in pain.

Linda was merciless and gave Ethan a big dick and said loudly: Celebrate just celebrate, why are you scaring me?

I thought you were in a car accident!

Linda glared at Ethan angrily, then made fists with both hands, hit Ethan's arm a few times, and said loudly: Next time you dare to do this again, I will whip you with the kitchen broom! I swear! I swear to God!

Okay, okay. Linda, stop hitting him.

Seeing his wife's volcanic eruption, Thomas quickly stopped.

Although he didn't think Ethan's joke was very funny, but looking at his nephew who was beaten so badly by his wife, he let it go, put away his worries, showed curiosity, shook the check in his hand, and his red cheeks The upper body flashes with joy.

Ethan, these two thousand knives are for us?

Thomas' question made Ethan poke his neck.

After seeing Linda had returned to her seat, he felt that he would no longer be threatened by the iron fist and he got excited again, Of course!

Ethan twisted his body and said, A little thought, thank you, thank you for taking care of me.

Hahaha~

Thomas leaned back, rubbed his belly and laughed.

Yeah~Yeah~Yeah~ I like your thanks. As for the gift...

Thomas hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted it, Put it here with us first, and I'll let Linda keep it for you.

At the same time, he also said: If you put aside the shock just now, this is indeed a surprise!

I admit, I'm happy for you now!

Thomas' acceptance made Ethan very happy, and when he moved his eyes to Evelin, the girl who was looking at the check kicked him first and muttered: Surprise? Then she shook again. Check, asked: Why do I have one thousand more than you? Didn't I agree to split it half and half?

Evelin's venting made Ethan's mouth twitch, but after catching the smile that he tried to hide on the girl's face, Ethan also sat down and said while enjoying dinner: Oh ~ Evelin ~ this matter is interesting. It’s grown…”

That's right, after receiving the check from Nolan Bushnell, what Ethan wanted to do most was to spend it all!

He didn't want to buy anything, he just wanted to hand over these checks to Thomas and Linda!

Just like what he said, this is to thank the two of them for taking care of him these days!

In other words, the family atmosphere in the Johnson family made him very happy.

He likes this relaxed environment and this feeling of being loved.

And he is willing to devote his own strength to maintaining all this.

As for the behavior of making money and making friends, is it a bit oriental?

oh!

Ethan never worried about this.

Because when he first set foot in the United States in his previous life, he discovered that the families here were different from what was advertised in the media.

What kind of children will be ignored by their families when they reach adulthood, and have to rely on themselves to support themselves in everything?

That's nonsense!

Family first is the core value here!

It doesn’t take much to drive your kids to college in a pickup truck and help pay for tuition and living expenses!

Even Hollywood works must be shot according to this routine!

Take Fast and Furious as an example. The plot has already begun with space racing, and Vin Diesel still has to embrace his family after returning.

This is especially true in various American TV series. The positive protagonist always has a bunch of family members who are holding him back, but even so, the protagonist still has to We are a family~

Wow, that kind of tolerance is like a holy goddess!

The eyelids of those who watched it jumped!

Therefore, after discovering that he had traveled through time, what Ethan longed for most was to not fall into the ground.

He really couldn't imagine that he would be entangled with a bunch of rotten relatives in the process of hard work.

Now, a harmonious environment is simply heaven to him!

With Ethan's narration, Thomas and the others also understood what Ethan had experienced today.

After learning that six thousand is just the down payment, there will be more after that.

Thomas even opened two bottles of wine, wanting to have a good drink with Ethan.

Of course, Ethan, who was equally happy, would not refuse such a proposal.

After gulping down a few bottles, when he woke up again, it was already noon the next day.

The sunny weather made him feel good physically and mentally.

I took a shower, grabbed some food, and then lay in the backyard, basking in the sun and reading a book.

It's not that he doesn't want to entertain, it's just that there is no entertainment in this era.

When a person has become accustomed to the Internet age, where he can enjoy the life of a king by opening short videos, the old-school activities of this era, such as billiards, bowling, and disco, are no longer interesting.

As for working hard to make money?

This is not playing Anno. The market's consumption power is limited.

An unlimited supply of ideas will only cause an industry to collapse in an instant.

And just when Ethan was wondering whether he could still go to the orchard at home to play in the past few days before the game was released, he hadn't even laid down for a while. Evelin, who was resting at home because of the weekend, It did give him some fun.

stand up.

Evelin, who was wearing a floral shirt and black trousers, kicked Ethan's feet.

What are you doing?

Ethan moved the book away, a little confused.

Take you somewhere.

Where?

It's a fun place, remember to bring your driver's license.

Evelin’s ambiguous words made Ethan a little confused.

But he followed anyway.

About half an hour later, Evelin, who was driving, stopped in front of a store in San Jose.

At this time, a huge logo also appeared in front of Ethan——

Big 5 Sporting Goods.
