You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 602 The Hill Family

Thursday, July 1999, 11.

This day is Thanksgiving in the United States. Whether as a Chinese or an Australian, Mo Mengchen’s biggest memory of this festival is to eat turkey on this day.

The protein content of turkey meat is 20% higher than that of other poultry, while the fat content is 21% lower, and the cholesterol content is low.Moreover, the meat is fresh and tender, with no odor, no drug residue, pure and delicious taste, suitable for all ages. It can not only adapt to high-end dining tables, but also meet the needs of ordinary families. It is a good product with both nourishment and food.

This year, he's spending Thanksgiving at Hill's house.

For this reason, Ephraim was preparing a day in advance.She and Adrian will go to Hill's house with Mo Mengchen for the holiday.

Every time she wants to go out with Mo Mengchen, Ephraim will always dress herself up carefully.

Although Mo Mengchen has reminded her many times: "In fact, you don't need to dress up too beautifully, because your usual appearance is already too beautiful."

Will any woman refuse to make herself more beautiful, at the cost of wasting an extra quarter and a half of time?The answer is no.

"Doctor Mo, what are Grant's parents like?" Adrian asked curiously.

Mo Mengchen had only been there a few times, so he didn't have a deep impression.

"It's very big, like a palace, with a court, a swimming pool, a painting exhibition hall, and some things I haven't seen before. It's much better than the Garryton Apartment."

Although he felt that Adrian was not interested in these things, he hoped that this kid behaved decently, after all, he was a big family.

At noon, Mo Mengchen took the Oorina brothers and sisters out.

After about 10 minutes' drive, they came to Hill House.

It is also called home. Compared with this place, the only advantage of Garleton Apartment is that it occupies a larger area.

But the Garleton apartment is an apartment after all, there are other residents besides Mo Mengchen, but this is the harbor of the Hill family.

"I will never understand why they live in such a big house." Mo Mengchen parked the car in the parking lot.

Hill was waiting outside the parking lot. He was very busy, but hospitality is indispensable. I have to say that the hospitality of big families is different.

Mo Mengchen smiled lightly: "I was just thinking about what you can do, why are you so busy?"

"What can I do?"

This sentence sounds deeply discriminatory, and Hill strongly objected: "It seems that I must let you know how important I am to this family."

"I would like to hear the details." Mo Mengchen looked like a student.

At this time, Tamia also came out. She hugged Mo Mengchen first, kissed each other on the cheek, and then hugged Ephraim again. There is always endless talk between women.

"Has Rashad come?" Mo Mengchen couldn't forget this temporary worker.

"Come on, this guy is really hard at work." It seems that Hill is very satisfied with this selfless second-year student.
A group of people walked while talking, and entered the mansion. When they came to such a place, Mo Mengchen sometimes had the idea of ​​moving. After all, compared with Hill, his home is really no different from a commoner's house.

But the heart of comparison is not important, these are false, he lives very comfortably in the Carleton apartment, and he also plans to buy nearby shops to open some shops, of course, this is a matter of the future.

Entering Hill's house and walking down a long road, Mo Mengchen once again felt the difference between the big family.

Then, he met the two old men who had raised the idiot Grant Hill to look like this.

Calvin Hill and Janet Hill.

Janet is white. Although she is old, she can vaguely tell that she was a great beauty when she was young. Otherwise, with the old Hill's appearance, Mo Mengchen couldn't help but wonder if Hill's genes were pure.

The Hill family is a family of sports, and Devil Mountain's outstanding athletic ability is inextricably linked to his father.

Old Hill was an NFL superstar in the 70s. He has retired for many years, but his figure is not out of shape. Mo Mengchen was surprised by his exposed muscles.

"Ethan, sit down." Old Hill smiled casually.

The TV was on and Hill Sr. was clearly watching the game.

However, there should be no live broadcast of the game at this time, so Mo Mengchen guessed it was a recording.

"Then you sit down first, I will go to the garden to weed." Hill said loudly.

weeding?just you?Mo Mengchen was worried that he would hurt herself.

Seeing Mo Mengchen's worried face, Old Hill laughed: "Leave him alone, you should know him very well."

In terms of the ability to slap people in the face and pretend to be fat, Hill is indeed one of the best people Mo Mengchen has ever met.

Old Hill broke Mo Mengchen's impression of some black people in the 70s and [-]s. He was quite talkative, elegant and easy-going.

Hill is personable on the court, and he treats others with humility off the court, which is inseparable from the education of the old Hill.

"I often play the Pistons. My favorite is not Grant, but you. Grant always gets into trouble with me because of this incident." Old Hill laughed.

Mo Mengchen was just listening. At this time, he saw the game on TV, the Lions' running position was thrown to the ground by the opponent, it was a very brutal tackle.

"After watching this game, I am convinced once again how right I was to choose to play basketball." Mo Mengchen joked.

In fact, it's not a joke. With his body and bones, if he plays American football, he probably won't play a few games, and he will have to rely on a wheelchair to walk for the rest of his life.

"The game is much softer now, in my era, hey." Then Old Hill started.

No matter how elegant a person is, as long as he talks about his youth, it is inevitable to add embellishments.

Every generation has its own memories, and the old Hill is no exception. He began to tout his own era, and then despise the current NFL.

Mo Mengchen doesn't know much about the NFL, so no matter how old Hill brags about the game that year, he can only nod in agreement.

While talking, Old Hill talked about Mo Mengchen: "You have the vigor of the older generation in you, and I like you, which is also what Grant lacks."

The vigor of the older generation?Is this a compliment?

According to Old Hill, the NFL in the 70s was no different from gang wars in Mo Mengchen's mind. If it is true that the players are rough on the field and their lives are rotten off the field, as Old Hill said.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not that kind of person, that's just my protective color." Mo Mengchen didn't want Old Hill to see him as the kind of person he imagined.

"Ha, Grant told me everything!" Old Hill laughed.

Does this mean that he knows all the "beautiful" things I do on the court?
If this is the case, it may be difficult for Mo Mengchen to have a good image in front of Old Hill.Based on Old Hill's behavior, and the fact that he can educate a child like Hill, he must be decent, and he doesn't see those dirty things. Although he looks like "I like you very much" now, this kind of civilized person has always It's all overtly and secretly doing the same thing, so it can't be taken seriously.

"Grant has a teammate like you, I am very relieved." Old Hill said, "He got my athletic talent, got his mother's looks and wisdom, but he is not perfect enough, he didn't get the most important thing. thing."

For things you don't understand, just keep silent.

There is nothing wrong with being silent.

"As an athlete, he's not competitive enough or vicious enough. These flaws will make him suffer greatly. Fortunately, you are here." Old Hill said something that made Mo Mengchen chill, "You should be together forever."

I must refuse you without hesitation.

Sitting here has become a torment. Old Hill's words became more and more strange. Although Mo Mengchen knew what he meant, he could obviously use a more acceptable way of saying it.

Mo Mengchen only hopes that someone will save him from the fire and water, no matter who it is.

The savior arrived 10 minutes later.

Rashad Lewis came into the house carrying a sealed box, and when he saw Mo Mengchen, he couldn't help shouting: "Daddy!"

Ah, my dear boy!
"It's a pleasure to see you." Mo Mengchen really wanted to hug him, but then he thought about how dirty he had just come back from outside, so he decided to forget it.

Old Hill asked, "Quarwin, did you go to the place I mentioned to buy turkey?"

"Must, sir!" Lewis replied like a soldier.

"Kua Wen?" Mo Mengchen was confused.

Isn't this guy called Rashad Lewis?Kuawen?
"Kawvin my middle name, Pop," Lewis said.

Lewis has a very strange middle name - "Quovon".The pronunciation is close to "kuowen" or "kuawen", which is a rather uncommon word.On the American education channel, there is also a program dedicated to teaching everyone how to pronounce this rare word, because many Americans do not know how to pronounce this word.

As for why Old Hill chose the awkward name of Kuwain instead of Rashad and Lewis, after much deliberation, Mo Mengchen had only one explanation.

Show off!

"Rashad, did you bring the turkey?" Tamia asked, coming over.

Lewis shook the sealed box in his hand: "I will handle the matter, don't worry!"

Mo Mengchen finally found a reason to get out of here: "I can help."

"How can I ask the guests to help? Sit down, Mo, watch TV, and chat with Calvin." Tamia ruthlessly destroyed Mo Mengchen's plan.

Old Hill also said: "That's right, you may not understand the NFL, it's okay, let's find an NBA game, I have a video of the 1969 Finals here, are you interested?"

Mo Mengchen had to work very hard to pretend to be interested.

The 1969 Finals?Mo Mengchen couldn't even figure out who the two sides were facing, but he was basically sure that this was a black and white videotape. There was no three-point line, no flashy changes of direction, no coquettish passes, no powerful dunks, only mediocre With basic skills and outrageous athletic ability, Chamberlain, who is known as the Big Dipper, can only attack with his right hand. Russell, who was given the nickname Lord of the Rings, is just a technically degraded and blue-collar Duncan. significance.

"Have."

Anyway, this game is definitely more interesting than the NFL.
