HP's Chinese Parents

Chapter 7 Magic Violence

There are so many joys to be gained this holiday, which makes the days of returning to normal rhythm due to the end of the holiday seem too flat and boring.

Back in his bedroom in London, Tom propped his chin and looked at the two gifts he had received on the table - a Christmas present and a birthday present from Nick - the key to a cottage in Iceland and a hardcover book featuring himself as the protagonist. Hand drawn portraits set.

It was that Christmas Eve when Nick volunteered for the first time his eldest brother, Tom's father.Nick told Tom that this small villa in Iceland was a gift from Tom's grandfather to his eldest son. Ten years ago, Tom's father took Nick to play and gave the villa to Nick.

Then Nick pulled out the key and said, "Now it's yours. Merry Christmas, Tom."

In the orphanage, every child who suffers from insomnia because of hunger has imagined that his relatives will take him home, or that he will be adopted by a rich old lady or something, and Tom is no exception. However, even in the most absurd dream , he didn't expect to get this either.

Nagini was eager to try to swallow the third big white rat. Tom glanced at it, ignored it, and tapped the cover of the portrait book with strange patterns with his index finger.The golden hook kisses in the yard had covered the shelves, and the golden yellow flowers were blooming against the wind and snow. He got up and opened the window, and the sweet fragrance of flowers and the goose-feather snowflakes poured in together.He saw someone push open the courtyard door, but it wasn't Nick he was waiting for but his tutor Miss Su Yan.This made him a little disappointed. After returning from Iceland, Nick had been leaving early and returning late. For a whole week, they only spoke 3 words.

Downstairs, Anna and Su Yan were happily greeting each other.Next to it, Nagini has already started trying to challenge the fourth white rat.

[Nana, you will be exhausted sooner or later. 】Tom beckoned helplessly, and floated the stupid snake with its mouth wide open into the air. This was a trick he had tried many times when he frightened other children in order to compete for food. Like his snake language, it was the same as his snake language. The innate talent is also the basis for him to firmly believe that he has an extraordinary bloodline.

Since his mother died in childbirth, he once believed that this ability was inherited from his parents.But Nick's performance made him confused and disappointed. He didn't respond to Parseltongue, and he didn't show any special abilities at ordinary times. It seemed that he was just an ordinary rich man.

At this point, rich Nick is running for investments and bank loans.Although penicillin has been one step ahead in France, which is across the sea, it has magically become popular through hunger marketing, which has made him a lot of money, but pharmaceutical factories need to be built, research institutes need to be expanded, researchers need to be hired, high-yield strains need to be screened, and other antibiotics To research and develop... all kinds of things, one by one is more expensive.In particular, the screening of bacteria strains simply belongs to the category of metaphysics, and there is no other way than krypton gold.The answer to the question of where the high-yielding bacteria is may only be known to God. It may be in the mud of the tropical rainforest, it may be in the wet swamp of the temperate zone, it may be on the bark of the opposite side of the world, or it may be in your neighbor's garden the surface of the pumpkin!

Fortunately, good news spread frequently in the research institute. Not only did they prepare a cheap and easy-to-obtain mold culture medium, a few days ago, researchers also successfully extracted streptomycin from the culture medium of actinomycetes!This is a big killer that can treat tuberculosis and prolong the average human life span.Historically, before the discovery of streptomycin, cancers that were prone to occur in the elderly were still a rare disease, and tuberculosis was the real terminal disease.Even the British and French people once believed that tuberculosis must be cured through the touch of the king. Nicknames such as "Evil of the King", "White Plague", "Captain of Human Death" and so on each express the despair of human beings in the face of tuberculosis.

Nick was very pleasantly surprised when he learned about it. Although he had circled actinomycetes in his research direction before, he never thought that he could harvest the results so quickly.This also made him busier, and his partner, or Roland, who could already be called a close friend, suddenly became unreliable. He seemed to be stuck in France for some reason that was inconvenient to describe in the telegram. , Even if the holiday is over, there is no way to rush back.He added a part of the investment and helped to find a relationship to solve a part of the loan in exchange for the shares of the pharmaceutical factory, but the other more cumbersome, formalities and interpersonal communication were all thrown to Nick.This part, which is itself a test of endurance, is made more difficult by Nick's age, which is a headache.

The busy days seemed to have no end, and the months passed by in a hurry. When summer came, he suddenly realized that it was time to find a school for Tom.

During this period of time, it seemed that he was neglected too much. Nick reflected on himself. He made an exception and spared two full days on the weekend to stay at home and not go anywhere. .He found that Tom had grown taller without knowing it, at least he had changed from a small bean to a bean sprout, so he hired a tailor to customize new clothes for the whole family.

When he spread the school materials on the study table, the atmosphere at home was still good. Anna returned to the room humming softly after washing the dishes, and the three pets ran to the yard to cool off after eating and drinking. Tom, who was a little gloomy, became happy again because of the company of these two days.

But when Nick says he wants Tom to choose boarding school, they have an argument.This was the first disagreement between the two, and he tried to explain to Tom that he would be very busy in the future, even busier than he is now, that he might travel frequently to and from other countries and would not have time to take care of him.But Tom has obviously had a long-standing grudge because of the previous neglect, and no one can reason with a child who lost his temper.

"You don't want me anymore!" Tom yelled, "Yes! It's good for everyone if I go to a boarding school. I will go to a boarding elementary school first, and then to a public boarding school. We will only meet a few times during the holidays!"

"Oh! I was wrong! You may have to travel frequently to and from other countries during your holidays, how can you make time to see me?" His tone was full of sarcasm, and the expression on his face became distorted and ferocious due to anger up.Nick had never seen Tom like this before, and he was speechless, feeling frightened.

But the bigger scare is yet to come.

There was a loud and clear sound of glass breaking, and at the same time Tom yelled out the last word, the chandelier, glass windows, and glasses in the room were all smashed by invisible forces.The windows of the study were not spared either. Sharp shards of glass fell on the grass and flower stands in the courtyard, reflecting the sunlight brightly.A second later, in the guest room on the first floor, Anna let out a piercing scream.If it wasn't for the fear of embarrassment and the fear of irritating Tom, Nick would have wanted to scream with Anna when he thought of the mess that would be cleaned up later.But he could only look at Tom with an expression that he didn't know and didn't want to distinguish, and tried hard to say something soothing.

Nick saw that for a moment, there was a trace of panic in Tom's eyes, but soon the anger occupied his eyes again. He gave Nick a hard look, and then ran back to his room, bang The door was slammed shut.
