"You know, hiccup~ do you know what Martha likes?" Lewis hiccupped and placed the empty glass heavily on the bar.

Jonathan was very discerning and asked Boss Gus to refill it quickly.

"My little Martha, since I was a child, I have loved sweet peas since I was a child, and raspberries in spring, berries in autumn..." Lewis' eyes were a little cloudy, "Oh, of course, and pink cake, since her mother left , little Martha will never..."

Jonathan silently wrote down, these are all very useful things.Pink cake... It seems that he just learned this recipe today?There aren't enough materials yet, but someday there will be.

"But don't you boy, hiccup~ don't underestimate Martha," Lewis gave Jonathan a drunken look again, "Little Martha has been good at taking care of the farm since she was a child, she is no worse than any young man! Ever since she After mom left..."

Time went back to two hours ago.

Jonathan didn't understand. He really fell in love with Martha, or rather Martha's... style of painting.But Uncle Lewis wouldn't be so angry, right?And Shane, Sam, these single bastards in the town, why are they looking at themselves with such pity?

Jonathan, who had been interrogated for more than an hour, finally understood the whole story.

The hot-headed Jonathan didn't think about it before, since Martha is beautiful and has a good personality, it's fine if she doesn't have a boyfriend, why is there no suitor?

In fact, although Martha's appearance in the eyes of others is not as special as that in Jonathan's eyes, she has had many suitors.At least several boys in the town have pursued Martha, but Martha has turned them down.

It's not that Martha doesn't like anyone, but that there is something special about this stubborn girl.

Martha's mother died of illness when she was ten years old, leaving her daughter a farm—yes, that farm actually belonged to Martha's mother, not Uncle Lewis's.

For Martha, who lost her mother since she was a child, this farm carries all her fond memories of her childhood, so she made the same decision as her mother - she didn't want the farm to be renamed.

It was only then that Jonathan found out that Mayor Lewis was not a native of the town. He met Martha's mother when he joined the army, and came back to get married after retiring from the army.

And this farm has been handed down since Martha's grandfather's generation.

Martha's mother was also a stubborn girl. At that time, not long after the end of World War II, even the small town was not as peaceful as it is now.She thinks that she can take care of the farm very well by herself, and she doesn't need to get married at all... But in the end, she agreed under Uncle Lewis' hot (si) (chan) pursuit (lan) pursuit (da), but also made their own demands.

In countries where Christianity and Catholicism are the main beliefs, it is common sense for wives to follow their husbands to change their surnames after marriage. Even in the 21st century, more than ten years later, keeping one's original surname after marriage is enough to be regarded as a privilege. A lone woman.

It is even more unimaginable to ask a husband to follow his own surname.

But Lewis did.

He was originally an orphan, grew up in an orphanage, and joined the army.There is no family influence, and I have no obsession with this aspect.Originally, the people in the town were still wary of him. After all, an outsider agreed to such a condition, and they were afraid that he would have some purpose.

Over the past few decades, Uncle Lewis has put in a lot of sincerity and hard work to fully integrate into the town, win everyone's approval, and even become the mayor of the town.

But not everyone can be like Lewis.

As a father, Lewis naturally supported Martha's decision, but he also felt distressed.Martha, who made the same choice as her mother, may find it more difficult than others to find someone who truly loves her.

The young people in the town who pursued Martha were also willing, but in the end they chose to give up because of family relations.But even so, this small town is still very harmonious. The young people have grown up together since they were young, so naturally they don't watch outsiders bully anyone.

As for outsiders... Martha once dated a boyfriend from outside, but Sam accidentally found out that he was just playing for fun and trying to lie to her farm...

If it weren't for a few young people who tried their best to stop him, the man was almost beaten to death by Uncle Lewis, and he never dared to return to the town.Martha still doesn't know what happened, and has been lost for a long time.

But for Jonathan, agreeing to this kind of condition is not a burden at all, and it is very happy.

Leaving aside the fact that Jonathan has no religious beliefs, the most important thing is... his surname was not "Wayne" originally!

After repeatedly expressing his serious determination, Uncle Lewis finally let him go and entered the "investigation period" for the time being.

Jonathan also invited everyone to drink with pride (xin), and the fat boss Gus narrowed his eyes with a smile.

"So, Uncle, it's because of this that you didn't stay with Aunt Martha?" After drinking with Lewis for a long time, Jonathan also drank a little too much, and his tongue became big.

"No, you, don't talk nonsense," Lewis blushed, "That, that's nothing!"

"Hey, which one of us brothers is with whom? The days to come will be long, so what are you doing with those vain ones?" Jonathan hooked Lewis' shoulder, "We, we two will talk about each other in the future, you, you don't care My name is Brother, I, I call you Dad! If you have anything to say to Brother, Brother will help you to propose a marriage! I will explain to Martha, at worst, we will hold a wedding together!"

Jonathan, who was drunk, had circles on his head that were visible to the naked eye, and he was thinking a little too much.

"It's none of Martha's business, it's because I don't want to delay her." Lewis squinted his drunken eyes a little lonely, and glanced around. Except for Boss Gus, who was concentrating on wiping the glass, most of the guests had gone home, "One People who are about to die can't live for more than a year, so how can I delay others? It just so happens that I should go to accompany Martha and her mother..."

"What's going on?" Jonathan was half awakened from the wine, "Uncle, you are in such good health, who said you won't live for a year?"

"Here, there's a damn tumor," Lewis pointed at his head. "Dr. Harvey said there's nothing to cure it...don't tell Martha."

Lewis shook his head: "I'm getting old, and Martha can live well after leaving at this time. I don't want to make her unhappy during the last period."

For a moment, Jonathan didn't even know which Martha he was talking about, but thinking about it... it's the same.

"You boy, remember to take good care of Martha."

This was what Jonathan heard when he sent Uncle Lewis to the door that night.

Also in the winter ten months later, three days before Christmas, I heard Lewis's last words.

This year's Christmas, there was another tombstone in the town's cemetery.The funeral was arranged on Christmas Day. According to the will of Mayor Lewis, everyone came to the funeral wearing festive clothes and smiling.

Jonathan put down the tombstone he made himself, and wiped off the snow for the last time.The tombstone reads: A respectable friend and a reliable elder, Mr. Lewis is buried here.

Until the end, Jonathan still didn't know what Uncle Lewis' last name was.He had long since abandoned his past surname, and after Martha's mother passed away, he no longer used the surname that was full of memories of the two of them.When they first started dating, Jonathan asked Martha out of curiosity, but Martha smiled mischievously and said that he would keep the secret until the wedding of the two, and let Lewis reveal it himself.

Unfortunately, there is no chance now.

A decorated Christmas tree was arranged in the cemetery. Jonathan picked the best pine tree in his own grove and asked Robin, a carpenter, to cut it down.After all, if he cuts it himself, it will only become wood.People exchanged gifts under the tree, and the whole town was as happy and peaceful as the day Jonathan first came.

Except for two people.

In fact, Martha had already noticed that something was wrong with Lewis in the autumn, after all, the majestic old man in the past suddenly became sluggish.Even though her boyfriend Jonathan was making trouble, the careful Martha quickly learned the truth from Dr. Harvey.

Then, without telling anyone, and pretending to be ignorant, they walked with Lewis for the last time.

Only now did Martha finally be able to cry happily with red eyes.

Naturally, Jonathan squeezed the gift box in his hand, but failed to send it out in the end.

For the rest of the winter, Jonathan didn't see Martha, as if the whole person had disappeared.But Jonathan knew it was not. He could see Martha sitting by the window of her house from a distance every day, doing something quietly, or doing nothing.

Fortunately, Christmas is over, and spring is not far away.

On the first day of spring, when Martha opened the door, she saw that a piece of farmland had been reclaimed in front of her house.

"Martha, are you awake?" Jonathan said with a smile, wearing the cowboy hat Lewis gave him before his death, "Come and help spread the fertilizer, we have to water it today."

Martha asked and said nothing... A girl who grew up on the farm was never worse than anyone in her work.

That is to say, from that day on, the wooden fence between the two farms was never repaired, and the broken ones were simply removed. Jonathan made more sprinklers and jam barrels, and Bucky needed to graze more and more animals. more and more...

……

"Uncle Jonathan! Where's our daffodil?" It was another year of the Flower Dance Festival, and Vincent and Jass had been staying here for a long time, waiting to ask Jonathan for a gift.

"I didn't bring daffodils today." Jonathan smiled and took out two pieces of cranberry candies from the grid. "Here, here are the candies."

Of course, Jonathan brought flowers today, poppies, tulips, blues jazz, fairy roses... All the flowers that he had planted in the past year were of the highest quality, and he made a bouquet and brought them here.

But today, Jonathan doesn't plan to send flowers to others... let alone let two little kids give him dog food!

Anyway, he was almost thirty in his past and present lives!

"Martha, I..." At the Flower Dance Festival, Jonathan finally invited his dance partner this time.

Although he still thinks that the pixel art style and the 3D high-definition style dance together... It's really weird.But it doesn't matter, you don't have to look at it yourself anyway.

"I am willing!" Before Jonathan finished speaking, Martha kissed him back, "I, Martha Kent, am willing!"

Jonathan didn't pay attention to what Martha said, and smirked the whole way through the dance.

At the wedding three days later.

"Honey, can you tell me now, what is your full name?"

"Didn't I already say that?" Martha said as she adjusted her veil, "My father used to be called Lewis Clark, but after my mother got married, his name was Kent, so..."

Martha turned around with a smile: "Let's go, the guests are waiting anxiously, Mr. Jonathan Kent."

Jonathan took Martha's arm blankly.
