139. Uninvited guests

“…… I'll be there in fifteen minutes, and I just want to know, can you get a waiter to replace me? I'm learning nursing at the hospital and no, can't tell Peter because he'll be worried about ......"

Peter took a few steps to put on his shoes, and his keen hearing made him hear Aunt May through the wall. Confusion drove him to pick up his shoes and walk out directly to face Aunt Mei.

"Oh, okay, okay, two shifts on Thursday, okay, goodbye......" Aunt May hung up the phone decisively and stared at Peter, who came out.

The two looked at each other speechlessly.

When Peter was very young, his parents gave him to Ben and May to raise. Compared to his biological parents, Ben and May are more like Peter's parents, even if they are not biological, Ben and May have raised Peter as their own sons, until now.

Peter was too familiar with Aunt May to have a problem.

"Two shifts?" Peter looked suspiciously.

"Well, that's the case occasionally...... I liked the girl that day, and Ben always prepared a cookie for me before he died. Aunt Mei stiffly changed the subject.

"Well, I've made some money by selling some pictures to the Clarion Daily......" Peter picked up a glass of water that had been poured long ago, and drank more than half of it in one gulp.

Aunt Mei subconsciously frowned: "It would really help if that person was willing to pay you a reasonable salary." ”

"James paid very reasonably, especially with this salary in 1961, which is very appropriate." Peter's tone was self-deprecating.

What can you do with this little salary? If you are not convinced, you can find another job?

is very helpless, at this stage, Peter can only make money by playing tricky selling Spider-Man photos. It's a terrible feeling to pose for himself, and if it weren't for the family's real lack of money, he wouldn't have done it.

"Peter, it's time to wash your clothes, I'll wash you, the last time you washed your clothes, you dyed all your clothes red, blue, and blue!" Aunt Mei said.

"I was washing the national flag...... I'm a college student now, and I wash all my clothes myself. Peter was shocked and refused, his spider costume was all in his bedroom bag, in order to protect Aunt May, she could not find out.

"What? Who will wash the flag? Since you were a child, Ben and I have been taking care of you, wiping your nose and washing your toothbrush, it's the two of us who take care of you, and you, nothing ......"

Aunt Mei spoke quickly, and her emotions became more and more excited: "It's me who asked you to do your homework and help you do your laundry, it's me!" It's your stupid, uneducated aunt who can't even make ends meet, taking care of you, and even because of your age, in order to earn money for your college, you can only study nursing classes with a 22-year-old child......"

Peter froze there, still holding a steaming cup in his hand. He looked at Aunt Mei with a wrinkled face, and couldn't help but feel a little sad. After Ben's death, only Aunt Mei and him were left to rely on each other, and before she knew it, Aunt Mei was already old.

The two looked at each other like this, silent, and Aunt Mei's eyes were even redder.

Emotions are very magical, I don't know when the grievances and pain in my heart will explode at one time, and it is impossible for people to control themselves at that time.

Just as the two looked at each other, there was a knock on the door.

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!

Peter glanced at Aunt May unexpectedly: "Looking for you?" ”

"No, it's supposed to be you, maybe it's Gwen's girl, go open the door." Aunt Mei turned her back and continued to wipe the table with a rag.

The moment Peter opened the door, he slammed it shut, and with astonishment and nervousness, he used surprisingly great force to close the door with an astonishing noise.

Aunt Mei hurriedly ran out to see.

The knock on the door, after a moment of silence, continued to sound firmly.

Peter's expression was pale, for some reason his spider sense didn't react at all, he pushed Aunt Mei and said quickly: "You hide quickly, don't look at me like this, there are very dangerous people coming!" Find a place to hide......"

The door crept open, and a head came in, looking at the two of them in amazement.

"I thought I had found the wrong door, and the door was not locked, so it was convenient for me to enter?" Donnie showed his head and looked at Peter and Aunt May with a smile, looking harmless to humans and animals.

"Why are you here? No, who are you looking for? Get out! Peter's muscles were tensed, the other party was a complete dangerous person, could it be that he found out his true identity and came to seek revenge?

But the spider still hasn't reacted at all.

"You know me? It seems to be familiar to me. Donnie said, pretending to be surprised.

Peter took two breaths, calmed his emotions, and said in a deep voice: "This gentleman, I think you have found the wrong person, we are just ordinary people......"

"No, I'm not mistaken, Peter Parker, a gifted high school student." Donnie paused deliberately, successfully causing the other party's nervousness and vigilance, "Our Stark Group is very optimistic about you, and after discussion, we decided to provide you with a special grant of $10,000. ”

"What?"

"What? Really, sir, Stark Group is willing to offer Peter a bursary? ”

Two voices rang out, Peter's astonishment, and Aunt May's surprise.

"A $10,000 annual stipend, and if Mr. Parker can achieve scientific research results, we will add to this as appropriate." "Mr. Parker is part of our Stark Group's new Talent Acquisition Program today, along with 99 other high school graduates who are also eligible for our special bursaries. ”

Downey was smiling throughout, pushing his Twitter glasses without a trace.

Aunt Mei asked, "So what does Stark Group want my child to do?" ”

"Quite simply, when we are employed in four years' time, we want to prioritize our Stark Group. You can think of this as an investment – while it's rude to say that, it's true, and many large companies have a similar plan to rush talent ahead of time. After many investigations, Mr. Peter Parker met our criteria. Donnie smiled, kindly.

Peter scolded in his heart I believe that you are a ghost, and just wanted to refuse, but Aunt Mei, who was already excited, agreed first.

Aunt Mei's idea is also very simple, verbally promised and there is no loss, and then she will definitely call the Stark Group to verify the identity of this stranger, the scammer may have, but their family is poor and white, what are you cheating? What if it's true?

Aunt May's financial pressure is indeed very great, and she urgently needs such a sum of money for Peter's tuition.

"So, lady, would it be convenient for me and Mr. Parker a little time? I would also like to make a final comprehensive assessment of Mr. Parker...... Of course, it was just some academic questions, and according to the company's prescribed process, I had to do this. Downey gently apologized, and directly took out the relevant documents in his briefcase and the official article of Stark Group.

After Aunt Mei looked closely, she went out directly, claiming that she was going to buy groceries, making enough space for Donnie and Peter. Academically, she is at ease with his nephew. She also had to take the opportunity to call and confirm the authenticity with the Stark Group - and it turned out to be true, of course.

Aunt Mei was completely relieved, and the moment she put down the phone, she secretly wiped her tears and couldn't cry.

In the house, after Aunt Mei gradually moved away, Donnie stopped pretending, took off his thick glasses directly, and threw them on the table.

The first words he said made Peter's face change dramatically.

"It's not a friendly way to greet me...... Little bugs! ”
