Chapter 1954 Where Is the Family, the Haven of Peace

"Boom, boom, boom..." There was a knock on the door, and after hearing the sound, an old woman rushed to the door and opened it, as if she was out of her wits.

She thought she was hallucinating again, or another disappointing answer. But what she didn't expect was that the child she had been thinking about day and night appeared in front of her eyes, and showed her a long-lost smile.

"Long time no see, Aunt Mei."

"Peter? Oh, my God, where the hell have you been?"

Aunt Mei exclaimed, and immediately hugged her nephew with tears in her eyes. Although they were not affected by Dormammu in Huiyao City, it didn't mean that they wouldn't worry about their nephew who was far away in Canada.

It is still unclear what Peter's real job is. Ben and May, the old couple, really thought that he was a teacher at a university in Canada. And in the face of overwhelming global catastrophic reports in the news, it is natural for them to worry about the safety of their nephew.

If it weren't for the disaster that caused the traffic paralysis and the global airport shutdown, the old couple would have gone all the way to Canada. And it was precisely because of all the insurmountable obstacles in the middle, and Gwen's constant persuasion, that they finally let go of such thoughts, and chose to wait worriedly.

This kind of pinning hope on unreliable luck is really a tormenting thing. It has almost become normal for the two old people not to think about tea, food, or their homes because of this. But today, Peter's sudden return finally made the two of them completely relieved, so that even a stable person like Ben couldn't help but burst into tears.

Of course, he still wanted to preserve his dignity as an elder in front of Peter. So he took the opportunity of cleaning his glasses to quickly wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then pretended to be calm and said this to Peter.

"It's good when you come back, it's good when you come back. I said a long time ago that Canada is too unreliable. If you want to teach at a university, isn't it good to be in the United States? Besides, the universities in Huiyao City are not good now. You’ve done a great job, staying here will bring you closer to home.”

He babbled on a lot of nonsense, and the only core of the whole sentence was the last sentence. He wished Peter would stay, stay closer to home.

This kind of ardent hope can only be experienced by someone like him who is thousands of miles away from home and hardly has time to go home. As for his expectations, Peter grinned and gave an affirmative answer.

"I know.

I came back this time just to find a job near home and start over. "

"Yes, that's what you should do." After hearing this answer that made her overjoyed, Mei immediately responded happily. She took Peter's arm and dragged him into the house. As he walked, he started nagging at him. "The world is so chaotic now, you shouldn't run to such a place that is too far from home. Let's not worry about it, the most important thing is that it is not safe. Don't look at Canada's territory is quite large, in fact, they are a group of weak chickens. If you expect the police there to protect you, you might as well expect me to carry your uncle's shotgun to protect you!"

Even though Mei is almost seventy years old, she can still say such unrestrained bold words, which makes Peter smile bitterly on his face, but at the same time, he is also inevitably touched in his heart. Although it is a bit of a joke to say this, but if you experience it carefully, you can still feel the inextricable family affection.

"You can still play with shotguns? I remember you were not one of the members of the anti-gun organization?"

He joked about it. After all, Aunt Mei's sudden reversal as a member of the anti-gun organization is really big news in this family. Facing his teasing, Aunt Mei slapped him angrily, and blamed Uncle Ben.

"It's all the old guy's fault. I was doing well at home, but he insisted on taking me to go hunting in the wild. He also taught me to use his new 486 shotgun. I didn't want to play such a rough game, but I didn't. Come to think of it, I seem to have a talent for it. You know what, Peter. The first time I played with this kind of shotgun, I managed to take down two wild ducks. It took only three shots!"

Putting up two fingers in front of Peter's face, Aunt Mei expressed her attitude of asking for credit in the most direct way. Of course, Peter would not let her down. He hugged Aunt May's shoulders and put on a surprised look.

"Whoa, that's awesome. I remember when Uncle Ben took me to the amusement park to play shooting games when I was a kid. He took ten shots and only got two. Compared to him, you are the sharpshooter in our family. "

"That's because that bastard at the amusement park saw his heart. If he didn't do anything, I could bring back a teddy bear you wanted one day."

With a stinky face, Uncle Ben, who never expected that Peter would reveal such an old story, could only justify himself in this way. Of course, his excuse is not valid for Aunt Mei. She simply ignored his defense. After realizing this problem, he could only sigh and changed the subject.

"Can we not talk about this problem? Tell me about Peter, how did you come back, and did you encounter any danger over there?"

"Me? I came back by motorcycle." Of course Peter didn't dare to tell them his experience. He didn't dare to mention such things as arm wrestling with Satan and life-and-death fights with monsters in the void. For this, he had to invent a lie. And according to his previous rhetoric, he could only respond like this. "I tried my best to avoid the city and those traffic arteries. Although I suffered a lot in doing so, at least I didn't encounter any danger. Of course, the road is really bad. If you don't see it with your own eyes If I hadn't, I wouldn't have believed that such a terrible thing could have happened in the world."

"Yeah, I watched the news and it was just horrific."

Speaking of the previous disaster, Aunt Mei obviously still had lingering fears. As an old woman who didn't have much education and couldn't keep up with the times, she couldn't imagine such horror at all. And when all this was placed in front of her, she naturally resisted subconsciously.

"If there are monsters like this in the universe, then what is the purpose of our vigorous development of spaceflight? Are these monsters brought to the earth? If this is the case, I would rather transfer these taxes to other places. Where it is useful. I think civilians in war-torn areas need them very much.”

"You are the benevolence of a woman. Spaceflight is an inevitable way to explore the future. One day, human beings will leave the earth and go deeper into the universe. If we do not develop these technologies, then we will always be the universe A group of monkeys in a cage, were thrown bananas to play with. What, do you want such a life?"

As the head of the family, Uncle Ben must of course seek a victory for the face he just lost. And based on Guang Weizheng's standpoint of human beings, his reasoning is indeed irrefutable.

However, Aunt Mei doesn't need to refute this Guang Weizheng topic. As an old couple who have lived together for nearly fifty years, she has a lot of ways to deal with this stubborn old man in her family. So she didn't even answer, she turned her head and said this to Peter.

"You go and call Gwen, tell him you're back, and invite their family to come over for dinner tonight. I'll go out to buy ingredients now, and I'll make you your favorite lemon perch in the evening."

After finishing speaking, she didn't give Peter a chance to refuse or evade, and walked out with her handbag. Seeing his long-time wife walking out of the house happily, Uncle Ben silently lit a cigarette while sighing deeply.

"It's not easy to fool her, is it?"

Peter thought he was talking about himself, and just about to speak, he heard Uncle Ben's words again.

"Don't try to be sloppy with me, Peter. You lie on the same level as your father, and I can tell with my eyes closed if you and your son are talking to me. Just like what you told me before , are you really a teacher at a Canadian university?"

"I......"

"Sometimes you sneak back and think I don't know. Sometimes you are covered in bruises and pretend to be okay with me. I just watch it and don't talk. Peter, after all, I am not your father. I can't and I don't have the right to Watching over you like a father. I thought you were an adult and you had the power to choose your own life. But that doesn't mean you should keep everything to yourself. … .”

"Anyway, we are family. If you have something that you can't bear, I'd be happy to listen to you and share it with you. Of course, if it's too heavy, then we have a tacit understanding and don't let you Auntie knows. Although she loves you as much as I do, you also know that she is not such a person who can be stimulated. "

Having said that, Uncle Ben winked at Peter quietly. Facing the old man's concern, Peter had mixed feelings in his heart for a while.

He didn't expect that Uncle Ben had discovered his little secret a long time ago, and what he didn't expect was that he had been watching him silently from behind since then. Although he may not know exactly what he is doing, judging from his tone and attitude, he obviously believes in himself and believes that he is walking on the right path.

Peter has always believed that he is walking on the right path, and it can be said that he is extremely firm. For this reason, he even did not hesitate to fight against Stark and the whole world. However, although he has not changed his point of view until today, the suffering on this road has exhausted him physically and mentally.

He wasn't sure if he should keep walking, he didn't even know if he could go any further. Returning to his family, returning to his most important people, besides saying that he is worried about their safety, the most important thing is that he needs a safe haven, a place where he can settle down, let him The heart gets a little respite.

Originally, he had no intention of revealing his true identity, but since Uncle Ben had already noticed his little secret, there was no need for him to hide it anymore. He is willing to talk, and also hopes to get the guidance of his uncle Ben, and get some kind of power from his life experience and teachings that can inspire him to move on. However, after he told his experience and told the truth of these years, Uncle Ben's performance was a bit exaggerated.

"What the hell? You say you're Spider-Man? The guy who looks weird and likes to fall on the eaves and fly around?"

"Actually, that kind of dress is not too weird. You know, I sew clothes for myself at the beginning. I think it's pretty good to be able to do that with my craftsmanship alone. And besides, I don't like to fly around the eaves, but in the city, that's the fastest way to move. This is the most efficient option, I have no reason to choose other, is there?"

"Okay, okay. That's your taste, so I won't comment."

After calming down his somewhat excited mood, Uncle Ben stared at his nephew, his eyes still full of disbelief.

"So, the owner of the dry cleaner in Queens once told me that those weird clothes that look like sex toys in my house are yours?"

"Uncle Ben, can we leave this subject?"

"Of course, I'm just a little curious. It doesn't matter if you don't say it." He smacked his lips with some regret, but Uncle Ben finally gave up the idea of ​​continuing to develop this topic.

He had wanted to collect some jokes about Peter. After all, Peter as an adult no longer has so many jokes to offer them as he did when he was a child. However, due to some special needs, he still hopes to dig out some more in case of emergency. But now, unfortunately...

"So, what's bothering you now. Because you're starting to question the choices you've made, or because you can't accept the sacrifice anymore?"

"I..." Peter was at a loss for words for a moment, as if he had a thousand words in his heart, but he couldn't utter a word at all. Seeing his performance like this, Uncle Ben took a puff of cigarette slowly, and then said this to him.

"Since you won't be able to say it for a while, then think about it carefully before answering this question. Rest at home for a few days and have a good time with Gwen. To be honest, you seem to be more indebted than us Just a little Gwen. She's a nice girl, so I don't want you to disappoint her, understand?"

"Of course, I won't let her down." On this question, Peter answered decisively. And just as he answered, there was already a knock on the door.

"It looks like Gwen is here. Your Aunt May won't knock on the door so politely. Go and meet them. Compared with Gwen, I think Mr. Stacey's anger is what you should worry about the most."

When Uncle Ben said this, an inexplicable look flickered in his eyes. And if you look closely, this look is called... schadenfreude.
