"Father, I invited a neighbor over in the evening, is that okay?"

Demi was helping her father carry the oven and asked her father about inviting Kim Hyun-tae, a neighbor, to the barbecue in the evening.

"Oh, that's good, it's a little more lively when there are more people. Anyway, if you don't invite me, you'll invite a lot of neighbors, no problem. ”

Demi's father is a typical white middle-aged man, with dark brown hair, big black-framed glasses, and a good figure, without beer belly and fat on his body.

There is a very strange phenomenon in this part of the United States, that is, fat people are generally poor, while people in the white-collar class and even the rich class rarely appear fat, and they will maintain a very good figure.

This phenomenon is somewhat opposite to that of the East.

In the East, the fat are mostly rich, while the thin are poor.

In fact, the reason and reason for this are also very simple, rich people can spend money on fitness to keep in shape, and poor people certainly don't have the money to go to fitness to stay in shape.

In addition, the rich can buy expensive organic food to eat, while the poor can only eat cheap inorganic food or junk food, of course, they cannot be compared with the rich or even the white-collar class.

Demi's father wore big beach shorts and a black T-shirt, the standard casual attire for most men in American families.

Demi's mother is also in jeans, T-shirts, and nothing too out of place to wear.

When it comes to the way most people in the United States dress, they are very casual and casual, and even those rich people will go out in such a dress.

So, Americans are always laughed at by Europeans, saying that Americans dress up rustic like hillbillies.

The Americans did not take this to heart, they did as they were comfortable, and they did not care at all about other people's opinions and statements.

Of course, this means that when they are not working, when they go to work or attend important dinners and gatherings, Americans still dress very formally.

In general, when you are at home, everyone will dress very casually.

"Dad, the neighbor I invited is only 16 years old and is already a father of a child. ”

Demi was still a little girl after all, and finally she couldn't hold back and told her father about it.

"Huh!?Is it a bad boy?"

Obviously, Demi's father thought crookedly, thinking that Kim Hyun-tae was a bad boy.

Demi quickly shook her head and explained, "It's not what you think, Dad! There's a complicated reason for this, it's a nice boy, and you'll understand when you see him." ”

Hum!

Regarding his daughter's explanation, the father is very noncommittal.

Having a child at the age of 16 is not what a bad boy is!

In short, before he met Kim Hyun-tae, Demi's father had a preconceived idea of Kim Hyun-tae as a bad guy.

It was at this time that Kim Hyun-tae came to the backyard of Demi's house.

After all, the two families are neighbors, and they are only a few steps away, not far at all.

Standing outside the fence of Demi's home made of white-painted wooden strips, Kim Hyun-tae greeted Demi and his father with his daughter in one hand and beer in the other.

When Demi saw Kim Hyun-tae, she immediately left her father, and then led Kim Hyun-tae in and came to her father.

"Hello sir, I'm William King, you can call me King, I live next door, we're neighbors. “

Kim Hyun Tae put the beer down, Demi took it aside, and Kim Hyun Tae extended his hand to Demi's father and introduced himself at the same time.

Although he wanted to give Kim Hyun Tae a cold face, Demi's father responded out of politeness.

"I'm Demi's father, Natharon, and you can call me Mr. Nat, and over there is my wife, Anna, and my eldest son, Jack. “

Nat has a son and a daughter, the eldest son is Jack, who is already in college, and the daughter is Demi, who is still in the ninth grade.

And his wife, Anna, is a full-time housewife.

With Nat's introduction, Kim Hyun Tae greeted both Anna and Jack.

"Come on boy, help me carry this barbecue box over there. Nat didn't see it at all, and began to arouse Kim Hyun Tae, but this is also a normal personality of Americans, so Kim Hyun Tae is not used to it, after all, he has lived in the United States in this time and space for almost a year.

Holding his daughter in one hand, Kim Hyun-tae put one hand on the handle of the oven, and the two of them moved the barbecue box to the edge of the garden and put it away.

"I heard that you are already the father of a child, and you yourself are only 16 years old?"

After putting down the barbecue box, the rest of the things basically don't need to be done by Nat anymore, and the children or his wife basically do it, so Nat is idle, and he simply chatted with Kim Hyun Tae about it.

Based on the life experience of the alien elementary school student, Kim Hyun Tae answers Nat, and after listening to Kim Hyun Tae's response, Nat understands all the 'everything', and finally has a change in his impression of Kim Hyun Tae.

As a result, Nat realized that there were some complicated factors involved, not what he imagined.

"It's hard, it's hard to be alone with a child. “

Mr. Nate, who has changed his opinion of Kim Hyun Tae, and Kim Hyun Tae's next conversation, the tone has unconsciously softened a lot and made a lot more friendly.

"It was quite hard, after all, I was still a student at the time, and it was really difficult to take care of the children while going to school. Kim Hyun-tae continues to answer Nat based on the alien elementary school student's fake experience.

"So I had to drop out of school and work two jobs a day to support myself and my children. And on the orphanage, I had to leave. “

As Kim Hyun-tae spoke, Nat raised his hand and patted him lightly on the shoulder, as if he felt the same way.

"It's all for the sake of the child, and if I were you, I might have made that choice, and maybe maybe I'd be inferior to you. “

Mr. Nat was sympathetic to Kim Hyun-tae's experience.

"It's nothing, Mr. Nat, my financial situation has improved a lot, much better than it was a few months ago, otherwise I wouldn't be able to live in this community. Kim Hyun-tae smiled at Nat.

"Oh, what's going on?"

Nat looked at Kim Hyun Tae curiously.

Kim Hyun-tae smiled and said to Nate: "It's not a big deal, a novel I wrote in my spare time was favored and published by the California Cultural Publishing House, and the royalty sharing of the novel after publication freed me from financial pressure." ”

Oops, I really can't see that this teenager is still a writer!

This time, Nat had to take a look at Kim Hyun Tae.

"yes, you're really trying. ”

Nat said to Kim Hyun Tae very heartily.

Kim Hyun-tae sighed and said, "There is no way, people are forced out." I have to work hard to get there, or there is no way to change my fate. Besides, I have a daughter, and I have to work hard for her, right? Overall, I was lucky to have mistaken the novel, otherwise I don't know how long I would have struggled. “

"The novel is also valued by you for writing well, and it has nothing to do with luck, I think you are a little modest. Nat interjected at the right time to say a word.

While the two men were chatting, Demi and her mother and brother had already finished the meat and other things for the barbecue, so Demi came over and interrupted the chat.

"Dad, Kim, it's all ready over there, let's go and talk while you barbecue." ”

Hearing this, Mr. Nat looked at Kim Hyun Tae: "Come on, boy, let's go over there and eat and talk." ”

"Come on, just take care of the baby, I'll be very good at taking care of the baby." Demi volunteered to hug Coco.

Seeing that his daughter wanted to take care of Kim Hyun-tae's daughter, Mr. Nat laughed and said to Kim Hyun-tae, "Give the child to Demi, no problem." My daughter always uses her free time to help some people in the community take care of the children and earn pocket money, so she has a knack for taking care of the children. “

Since Mr. Nat said so, Kim Hyun-tae had no reason to refuse, so he handed the little guy to Demi.

After the little one was held in Demi's arms, he began to 'giggle' and laugh non-stop, and at the same time, two little hands began to touch Demi's full breasts.

"Haha, little guys are like this, and Demi touched her mommy like this when she was a child. After all, he raised two children, so when Mr. Nat saw Coco's behavior, he showed a very nostalgic look on his face, and then exposed his daughter's old bottom, which made Demi blush.

Fortunately, Demi is really experienced in taking care of children, so she also knows that most children of Coco's age will be like this, but she is not angry.

Smiling apologetically at Demi, Kim Hyun-tae followed Nat to the table.

Nat introduces Kim Hyun-tae to his family and tells them that Kim Hyun-tae is also a young fiction writer, which causes his wife Anna, son Jack, and even Demi to show a surprised expression.

Nat's wife, Anna, is very enthusiastic and constantly beckons Kim Hyun Tae to eat, while the eldest son, Jack, is a big boy who seems to be a little shy and doesn't like to talk much.

Because Demi has to take care of Coco, her attention and energy are on the little one's side.

It was Kim Hyun-tae and Mr. Nat who were chatting very energetically here.

As the barbecue at the Nat family began, Mr. Nat began to ask his son Jack to invite all the neighbors around him one by one, and the invited neighbors also happily brought their wives and children to the backyard of the Nat family.

According to Mr. Nat, there are so many people, and he likes it!

In this way, there are more and more people.

At the same time, Kim Hyun-tae was also introduced to the neighbors by Mr. Nat as usual, so that everyone knew that now they have a little writer, a single dad, and a boy under the age of 16.

The next thing is simple, everyone eats barbecue and drinks beer, and a bunch of middle-aged men begin to be presumptuous, mixed with a 'young man' like Kim Hyun Tae.

However, Kim Hyun Tae has been accepted by these middle-aged men, after all, according to Nath, he is already a father, so he cannot be treated as a boy.

This statement has won the consent of all middle-aged men who have become presumptuous because of the effects of alcohol.

Therefore, Kim Hyun-tae has also become a part of the carnival middle-aged group.

It's the wives brought by those guys who get together to talk about gossip, such as whose wife Hongxing is out of the wall in the community, whose husband has a mistress outside, in short, the housewives in the white community, the topics of conversation are basically these gossip scandals, which is a bit boring, but they are not tired of it.

The children were playing around like crazy, playing with each other.

It was a very happy night, and it also allowed Kim Hyun-tae to learn a little bit about the content of American community life and began to integrate into it little by little.

Even after drinking too much alcohol, Mr. Nat took Kim Hyun-tae and a few neighbors with whom he had a good relationship to go to the strip parlor on the edge of the neighborhood after the party, making a lot of jokes......
