Niu Xiaoqiang said curiously: "Auntie, I don't know what the nature of this party is?"

"It's a private gathering between neighbors, there's no theme, everyone gets together to drink and talk. ”

Because of Karina's relationship, Niu Xiaoqiang always seemed a little weak when facing Linda. If it was a gathering of car friends, Niu Xiaoqiang didn't mind being cheeky to inquire about the situation of the modified car. As soon as he heard that it was a neighborhood party, he suddenly lost interest.

"I don't know your neighbors well, so I won't go. ”

Linda was not reluctant, and nodded: "Okay, let's talk about it next time." ”

When she said this, she turned her head and glanced at Zhang Xiaolan, "If you don't mind, can I say a few words to Niu Xiaoqiang alone?"

Zhang Xiaolan immediately nodded: "Of course I won't mind, Xiaoqiang, I'll park the car and wait for you at the entrance of the supermarket." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang agreed, and when Zhang Xiaolan pushed the bicycle away, he looked at Linda with some confusion: "Auntie, what do you want to tell me?"

Linda stared at Niu Xiaoqiang with a smile: "Xiaoqiang, are you hiding something from me?"

Niu Xiaoqiang chuckled in his heart, and said with a dry smile: "I don't know what you mean ......?"

"It's about Karina, have you seen her in private?"

Niu Xiaoqiang stammered: "This, this ......"

Linda waved her hand: "You don't have to be nervous, just take it as a small talk, can you tell Auntie where she is now?"

Niu Xiaoqiang replied: "Auntie, I am curious about a question, how did you know that I had seen her in private?"

Linda smiled: "I had a fight with her that day, she ran away from home in a bad mood, I was worried that something would happen to her, so I secretly followed her, wanting to see where she would stay, but I found out that the place she went to was your rental house, can you tell me why she moved to you?"

Niu Xiaoqiang finally understood, now that everyone already knows, he doesn't need to cover it up: "Kailina happened to be met by me when she had a drunk driving accident, and I helped her get out of trouble, she didn't dare to go home for fear that the matter would be exposed, so she went to my rental house to settle down, and was going to wait until the injury was healed before going back, but she bumped into you when she went home to get a change of clothes, and then you know what happened later." ”

Linda nodded, then asked, "Where is Karina now?"

"She went to help me register the company, and I have already discussed with her and am ready to start a company in partnership. ”

Linda was stunned for a moment before she spoke: "She would actually cooperate with you?

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled dryly: "Maybe she thinks the plan I proposed is very feasible." ”

Linda knew her daughter's character very well, she didn't believe Niu Xiaoqiang's words at all, and after rolling her eyes and looking at Niu Xiaoqiang a few times, she suddenly asked, "Where have you gone with her?"

"Ahh......h

As soon as Linda saw Niu Xiaoqiang's expression, she understood, she smiled and patted Niu Xiaoqiang's shoulder: "Don't worry, I don't mean to blame you, who Karina is willing to be good with is her own choice, Watson and I will never interfere, the reason why I asked this is just to find out the situation." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang sighed in his heart: Fortunately, parents in the United States are more open-minded, but if it were replaced by parents in China, I am afraid that it would be light to beat me violently.

Linda smiled slightly, and then said: "If you have time, go home with Karina for a meal, there is nothing to avoid this kind of thing, even if you can't get together in the future, it will not affect the relationship between us, of course, provided that you can't deliberately hurt Karina." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and nodded: "Auntie, don't worry, I will never deliberately hurt her." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang said this, but secretly thought in his heart: Karina doesn't seem to have any intention of marrying me at all, and my relationship with her is not like a boyfriend and girlfriend, so naturally I can't talk about who hurts whom.

"Well, let's go. ”

The two walked towards the entrance of Walmart together, and after meeting up with Zhang Xiaolan, the three of them went shopping for food together.

During this time, Linda stopped talking about Karina, and the food she purchased was relatively simple and quickly ran out.

Linda then said hello to the two and pushed the shopping cart to leave.

Zhang Xiaolan looked at Linda's slender back, and couldn't help but sigh: "If it weren't for her self-introduction, I wouldn't believe that she was actually Professor Watson's wife, she looked too young." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and nodded: "Aunt Linda looks much younger than the professor, and she really doesn't look like a mother of three children." ”

Zhang Xiaolan was a little dumbfounded: "What are you talking about? She is a mother of three children?"

"Yes, she and Professor Watson have two daughters and a son, the eldest of whom is in her twenties. ”

Zhang Xiaolan was completely speechless, and she didn't speak for a long time.

Niu Xiaoqiang pushed the shopping cart forward and beckoned, "Don't be surprised, let's continue shopping." ”

Zhang Xiaolan followed after a few steps, and sighed: "When I was working in a restaurant, I saw a lot of American housewives, they all looked old after they were over thirty-five years old, especially their skin, which was very rough, and none of them could compare with Linda, so how did Linda maintain it?"

Linda's skin is really good, if she wears work clothes, she looks about forty years old, she deliberately dressed up just now, she looks much younger, if she is only thirty years old, others will definitely not object, no wonder Zhang Xiaolan is so surprised.

"Maybe her physique is different from others. ”

At present, it seems that it can only be explained in this way, Zhang Xiaolan nodded and stopped talking.

Niu Xiaoqiang thought secretly as he walked: When Karina comes back, I will tell her about Wang Xiaoshuang clearly, so as not to end it in the future.

The two of them sped up, spent a quarter of an hour picking up food, and then paid the bill and went home.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, when the two were sitting in the living room watching TV after lunch, the phone rang suddenly. Niu Xiaoqiang hurriedly picked up the earpiece, and before he could speak, Watson's voice rang out: "Xiaoqiang, the laboratory has been applied, we can use it from six o'clock every night to six o'clock the next morning, Zhang Xiaolan, you know, let's start work tonight." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang said happily: "Okay, we must be on time." ”

After hanging up the phone, Niu Xiaoqiang explained the situation to Zhang Xiaolan. Both of them were very happy about this, and both said that they must do a big job.

In order to work overtime, the two went back to the house and slept separately.

At half past five, Niu Xiaoqiang rode a bicycle to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and met Professor Watson at the door of the laboratory.

Professor Watson had a huge wooden box next to him, and Niu Xiaoqiang was curious: "Professor, what is in it?"
