Chapter 27: Demi's Invitation
Ninth grader?
When Jin Xiantai heard the words, he thought about it quickly. He knew a little bit about the school situation in the United States, and knew that it was different from the school in China.
Here in the United States in a parallel time and space, elementary school is divided into five grades, and then there are four grades of junior high school, and then there are three grades of high school, a total of twelve grades.
Although there are some differences, as long as this is figured out, it is still easy to distinguish the students.
Well, according to Demi, she should be a junior high school student.
Oh, I'm only in the third grade of junior high school, so I can be considered a little kid.
At least in Kim Hyun-tae's eyes, Demi can also be regarded as a kind of brat.
After all, he has the soul of a thirty-six-year-old man, even though his physical and biological age is that of a 16-year-old boy.
"You can call me 'Jin', hey, this is the money for ordering newspapers for you, and your commission." While talking, Kim Hyun-tae took out his wallet from his pocket, and counted a few A 10-yuan bill and several small 1-yuan bills were handed to Demi.
After receiving the money, Demi smiled brightly, and made a series of guarantees to Kim Hyun-tae, such as that she would not delay the delivery of the paper no matter the wind or rain, and that the service would be the best, etc.
At this time, her daughter Ke Ke stood up on the crib behind Kim Hyun-tae. She first looked around sleepily, then rubbed her eyes with her small hands, and finally looked in the direction where her father was standing.
"Mother!"
Unexpectedly, when the little guy saw Kim Hyun-tae, he also saw Demi.
And yelled 'Mom'.
Demi didn't think too much, because she didn't think it was calling herself, but Kim Hyun-tae knew who the little guy was calling.
"Are you helping someone take care of the children?"
Demi asked a very casual question.
At this time, Kim Hyun-tae, apologizing, quickly turned around and walked to his daughter, picked her up from the crib, held her horizontally in his arms, and patted her on the back lightly, at the same time softly Said to the little guy: "Don't shout, that's not your mother."
Then he responded to Demi: "No, this is my daughter, her name is Coco, don't you think she is very cute." After speaking, Kim Hyun-tae also showed the daughter in his arms frontally to Demi.
What! what!
This... this... this is your child!
You are not kidding me!
Demi's freckled face was full of disbelief, and she looked straight at Kim Hyun-tae, as if hoping to get a response like 'I'm just joking' from him.
The daughter in Kim Hyun-tae's arms kept twisting her body, obviously unwilling to be hugged by her father, and the little guy kept looking at Demi, blinking her big eyes, looking very cute.
With a wry smile, he put down his daughter writhing like a caterpillar in his arms, and then Kim Hyun-tae said to Demi: "I'm not kidding, this is really my daughter, it's just like a fake."
"How is this possible? How can you become a father when you look so young? You must be joking, right?"
Demi still couldn't believe it.
"Yes, I'm only 16 years old, but I'm also the father of a child. As for why I became a father..." The corner of Jin Xiantai's mouth twitched, but he continued, "You should understand that this is an impulsive teenager in adolescence The result after that."
After saying this, Jin Xiantai really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in, because it was too embarrassing, okay?
The excuse is pretty good, but it's a little bit of that.
Demi nodded with a look of shock, and seemed to believe Kim Hyun-tae's explanation and excuse.
"Where is the mother of the child?"
Demi is very gossip.
ah! Why are you so ignorant girl, why are you gossiping like this, is this what you should ask!
Kim Hyun-tae really wanted to yell at Demi loudly, but his good-natured personality, coupled with the personality of a middle-aged man, still prevented him from doing so, but responded patiently.
"The mother of the child passed away, it was an accident, so now I am alone with the child."
"Oh! I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked these questions." Demi apologized repeatedly.
Seeing the little girl repeatedly apologizing, with an apologetic look on her face, Jin Xiantai said: "It's nothing, you didn't mean it, I won't be angry."
Demi glanced quickly and found that Kim Hyun-tae was standing there with a smile on his face. She was really not angry, and she was relieved.
He has a really good personality, if it were someone else, he would probably be angry already.
Demi thought secretly in her heart.
"Well, in order to apologize, I invite you to my family barbecue party for a while, so that I can apologize to you."
Originally, Jin Xiantai thought that the little girl could leave now, but unexpectedly the little girl changed the subject and invited him.
After all, they are my neighbors, living so close to each other, it seems that it would not be very good if I refuse to let go.
And living here, it is also necessary to build good relations with neighbors, at least to get acquainted with each other.
Thinking of this, Kim Hyun-tae nodded with a smile, and accepted Demi's invitation.
"No problem, I'll bring a beer tonight."
Demi's eyes widened again for a moment, looking at Kim Hyun-tae as if looking at an alien.
"Can you still buy wine?"
An embarrassed look appeared on Jin Xiantai's face, and he became a little embarrassed.
In the United States in the original time and space, alcohol was not sold to young people under the age of 20, and it is the same in this parallel time and space.
Therefore, Kim Hyun-tae said that he is now 16 years old, which is still far from 20 years old, so how can he buy alcohol.
Not even beer.
"Don't worry, I have a lot of beer at home, I just take it with me, I don't need to buy it outside."
Kim Hyun-tae had no choice but to explain to Demi a little bit.
And the reason why Kim Hyun-tae had beer at home was that he entrusted Dave to buy it. After all, if he bought it, they would never sell it to him.
"Unexpectedly, you still have a way to get wine. I really can't underestimate you." Demi looked envious.
Indeed, American kids are quite rebellious. Although they are not allowed to buy alcohol under the age of 20, there are still many underage kids who will get wine in various ways, and then hold parties with friends. .
Among them, those who can get wine are definitely the stars in everyone's eyes, and they are also indispensable when young people under the age of 20 hold a party.
Obviously, Kim Hyun-tae is such an existence in Demi's eyes.
It's a pity that Kim Hyun-tae didn't understand Demi's mind, or he would die laughing.
What kind of shit party, I just like to drink beer, so I entrust Dave to find someone to buy it back.
"Okay, I will pass it on to my father, he will definitely welcome you to the barbecue party." With a different kind of careful thought, Demi hurriedly said something to Kim Hyun-tae, and then rode away on her own bicycle up.
As Demi left, Ke Ke, the little guy who was holding on to the wooden door of the backyard with his hands up and looking up at Demi, with a look of disappointment and regret, turned around and shouted at Kim Hyun-tae, "Mom! Mom!"
It was as if his mother had really gone away, which made Kim Hyun-tae dumbfounded, and at the same time very sad.
"Keko is good, that's not my mother." Kim Hyun-tae just explained to Coco that Demi is not her mother, but he couldn't tell Coco that her mother is no longer in this world.
Speaking of it, the daughter is also pitiful. She has no mother at a young age. She grew up drinking milk powder since she was a child. She doesn't look like someone else's child. At least she has some mothers? breastfeeding.
Of course, this also makes Ke Ke not have some bad habits, such as touching her chest indiscriminately, or grabbing a certain place when she sleeps at night, etc.
But Jin Xiantai knew that every time he took his daughter to the street, the little guy's eyes were full of envy when he saw other children with mothers.
Therefore, upon seeing his daughter's expression like this, Kim Hyun-tae's heart was filled with sorrow.
He didn't feel sorry for himself, but for the child without a mother.
"Coco wants mother."
Although my daughter's intellectual development is different from that of her peers, it is much higher than that.
But her mutation is not so obvious now, so she is basically a child's intelligence, so she still can't fully understand what Kim Hyun-tae said.
Therefore, the little guy insisted on expressing his own thoughts, which was to 'want a mother'.
It's not that the little guy wants Demi to be a mother, it's just telling his father that she wants a mother, and it doesn't matter who will be the mother.
Turning his head and wiping the tears left in his eyes, Jin Xiantai felt a little depressed.
No matter how much I care about my daughter and give her the best living conditions and environment, there is no way to make up for the regret that my daughter needs a mother.
He felt a little sorry for his daughter.
"Good! Good! When there is a chance in the future, Dad will definitely find you a mother, Keke is obedient."
The daughter is still too young, and there is no way to understand the anguish in the heart of a father, as well as some helplessness in reality.
My mother said that you can find it if you look for it, but it must be done at the right time and the right person.
Especially for Kim Hyun-tae and Ke Ke, this point must be treated with great caution.
But no matter what, the little guy was finally appeased by Jin Xiantai, maybe his father's words worked, the little guy believed his father's promise, she immediately laughed, her voice was extremely clear.
"Daddy is the best!"
Haw!
The daughter put her small arms around Kim Hyun-tae's neck, and kissed Kim Hyun-tae's cheek as he squatted down, making Kim Hyun-tae's cheeks wet with saliva.
Seeing that his daughter's mood improved, Kim Hyun-tae was also relieved. He was worried that his daughter would keep making troubles about this matter, which would be troublesome.
Fortunately, such worries did not arise, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Across his own garden, Kim Hyun-tae saw that Demi and a middle-aged man were constantly moving some barbecue equipment out of the house. It was obvious that Demi's family had already started preparations.
Kim Hyun-tae thought for a while, picked up his daughter and walked into the room, took out a case of beer from the refrigerator, and walked to Demi's house from the back garden.
At this time, Demi was also telling her father that she had invited someone and told her father some basic information about that person.
