Chapter 602 The Hill Family
Thursday, November 25, 1999.
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.
Turkey has a protein content of 20% higher than that of other poultry, while its fat content is 21% lower, and its cholesterol content is low. Moreover, the meat is tender, no odor, no drug residue, and has pure and thick taste. It is suitable for both young and old. It can not only adapt to high-end dining tables, but also meet the needs of ordinary families. It is a good product that combines nourishing, nutrition and delicious food.
This year, he will spend Thanksgiving at Hill's house.
To this end, Ephraim was preparing one day in advance. She and Adrian will go to Hill's house with Momonchen to celebrate the festival.
Every time he went out with Mommonchen, Ephraim would dress himself up carefully.
Although Mo Mengchen has reminded her many times: "In fact, you don't need to dress up too beautifully, because you are too beautiful in your usual appearance."
Will there be women who refuse to make themselves more beautiful? The price is just to waste one and a half hours of extra time? The answer is no.
"Doctor Mo, what are Grant's parents?" Adrian asked curiously.
Mo Mengchen has only been there a few times and has not been deeply impressed.
"It's big, like a palace, with a court, a swimming pool, a painting exhibition hall, and something I haven't seen before, much better than Galritton's apartment."
Although he felt that Adrian was not interested in these things, he hoped that the kid would act appropriately, after all, that was a wealthy family.
At noon, Mo Mengchen took Orrina and his brothers out.
About twenty minutes' drive, they arrived at Hill House.
Also known as home, the only advantage of Galritton Apartment is that it covers a larger area.
But Galritton Apartment is an apartment after all. Apart from Mo Mengchen, there are other residents, but this is the harbor of Hill's family.
"I will never understand why they live in such a big house." Mo Mengchen parked his car in the parking lot.
Hill was waiting outside the parking lot. He was so busy that he could not miss the hospitality ceremony. It has to be said that the hospitality methods of wealthy families are different.
Mo Mengchen smiled faintly and said, "I was thinking about what you can do just now, and I am so busy?"
"What can I do?"
This sentence sounds deeply discriminatory, and Hill strongly opposes: "It seems that I must let you know how important I am to this home."
"I hope to hear it carefully." Mo Mengchen looked like a student.
At this time, Tamia also came out. She first hugged Mo Mengchen, kissed each other on the cheek, and then hugged Ephraim. There was always endless things to say between the women.
"Is Rashad here?" Mo Mengchen was obsessed with this temporary short-term worker.
"Here, this guy is really hardworking." It seems that Hill is very satisfied with this selfless and dedicated second-year student.
As the group talked and walked, they 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 was really no different from a civilian house.
But the desire to compete is unsatisfactory, and these are all false. He lived in Galritton's apartment very comfortably, and he also planned to buy nearby stores to open some stores. Of course, this will happen in the future.
After entering Hill's home and walking a long road, Mo Mengchen once again sighed at the differences between wealthy families.
Then, he met two old men who raised Grant Hill, the nerd, into this way.
Calvin Hill and Janet Hill.
Janet is a white man. Although he is old, he can vaguely see that he was a great beauty when he was young. Otherwise, with the appearance of Old Hill, Mo Mengchen could not help but wonder whether Hill's genes were pure.
The Hill family is a sports family, and the outstanding athletic ability of Devil Mountain is closely related to his father.
Old Hill was an NFL superstar in the 1970s. He retired for many years, but his figure was not distorted. Mo Mengchen was shocked by his muscles.
"Ethan, sit down." Old Hill smiled casually.
The TV was on, and Old Hill was obviously watching the game.
However, there should be no live broadcast of the game at this time, so Mo Mengchen guessed it was a recording broadcast.
"Then you sit down first, I'll go to the garden to weed." Hill said loudly.
Weeding? You are the only one? Mo Mengchen is worried that he will hurt himself.
Seeing Mo Mengchen's worried look, Old Hill smiled: "For him, you should know him very well."
In terms of the ability to slap in the face, Hill is indeed one of the best people Mo Mengchen has ever seen.
Old Hill broke Mo Mengchen's impression of some black men for sixty or seventy years. He was quite talkative and elegant and easy-going.
Hill is graceful on the court and treats others humbly off the court, which is inseparable from Old Hill's education.
"I often play the Pistons. My favorite thing is not Grant, but you. Grant always has a quarrel with me because of this." Old Hill smiled.
Mo Mengchen just listened. At this time, he saw the game on the TV. The Lions team's running position was knocked to the ground by their opponents. It was a very cruel grapple.
"After watching this game, I was once again sure how correct it was to choose to play basketball." Mo Mengchen joked.
Actually, it’s not a joke. With just his body, if he plays American football, he probably won’t have a few games and he will have to walk in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
"The competition is much softer now, it's my era, hey..." Then Old Hill began.
No matter how elegant a person is, he will inevitably add fuel to the fire when he is young.
Every generation has its own memories, and Old Hill is not immune to the vulgarity. He began to flatter his own era and then despise the current nfl.
Mo Mengchen didn't know much about NFL, so no matter how old Hill boasted about the game that year, he could only nod and said yes.
As he spoke, Old Hill said to Mo Mengchen: "You have the energy of an older generation. I like you. This is what Grant lacks."
The spirit of the older generation? Is this praise?
Through Old Hill's appearance, the nfl in the 1970s was no different from the gang battle in Mo Mengchen's mind. If it was really as Old Hill said, the players had a rough style on the court and their life was corrupt off the court.
"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 said everything to me!" Old Hill smiled.
This means that he knows all the "scenic" things I did on the court?
If this is the case, Mo Mengchen will probably find it difficult to have a good image in front of Old Hill. With Old Hill's character and being able to educate a child like Hill, he is sure to be upright and shameful. Although he now looks like "I like you very much", such civilized people have always been in a secret way and cannot be taken seriously.
"I feel relieved that Grant has teammates like you around him," said Old Hill. "He got my athletic talent, his mother's appearance and wisdom, but he was not perfect enough, he didn't get the most important thing."
For things you don’t understand, just be silent.
There is no mistake in silence.
"As an athlete, he is not competitive and not fierce enough. These defects will cause him to suffer a great loss. Fortunately, you are there." Old Hill said something that made Mo Mengchen feel cold, "You should be together forever."
I must reject you without hesitation.
Sitting here has become a torment, and Old Hill's words become stranger the more he says. Although Mo Mengchen knows what he means, he can clearly use a more acceptable statement.
Mo Mengchen only hopes that someone will save him and the water and fire, and no matter who it is, it will be good.
The savior arrived ten minutes later.
Rashad Lewis came into the room with a sealed box, and when he saw Mo Mengchen, he couldn't help but scream: "Dad!"
Alas, my good boy!
"It's so happy to see you." Mo Mengchen really wanted to hug him, but then he thought that he had just come back from outside and didn't know how dirty this body was, so he would just forget it.
Old Hill asked, "Kuanwen, have you gone to the place I mentioned to buy turkey?"
"Must, sir!" Lewis replied like a soldier.
"Kuanwen?" Mo Mengchen was confused.
Isn’t this guy called Rashad Lewis? Kuawen?
"Kawen my middle name, Dad," said Lewis.
Lewis has a very strange middle name - "quovon". The pronunciation is close to "Kuowen" or "Kuowen", which is a very rare word. On the American education channel, there is also a program that specializes in teaching everyone how to pronounce such rare word, because many Americans don't know how to pronounce this word.
As for why Old Hill didn't call the two names Rashad and Lewis, he had to choose the difficult name Kuawen, Mo Mengchen thought about it and only had one explanation.
Show off your face!
"Rashard, did the turkey bring it?" Tamia asked.
Lewis shook the sealed box on his hand: "Don't worry if I do my business!"
Mo Mengchen finally found a reason to escape from here: "I can help."
"How can you ask the guests to help? You sit down, Mo, watch TV, and chat with Calvin." Tamia ruthlessly destroyed Momonchen's plan.
Old Hill also said: "Yes, you may not understand nfl. It doesn't matter. Let's look for NBA games. I have a video of the 1969 finals. Are you interested?"
Mo Mengchen had to work very hard to pretend to be very interested.
In the finals of 1969? Mo Mengchen couldn't even think of who the two sides were against, but it was basically certain that this was a black and white videotape, without three-point line, no gorgeous change, no coquettish pass, no dunk to pull Mount Tai, only mediocre basic skills and outrageous athletic ability. Chamberlain, known as the Big Beidou, only attacks with his right hand, and Russell, nicknamed Lord of the Rings, is just a degenerate and blue-collar Duncan, who has almost no meaning except looking back on history.
"have."
Anyway, this game is definitely more interesting than nfl.
