Joseph looked at the two people fighting, not understanding what was going on, but that didn't stop him from joining in the play, and he rushed over with a smile.
The three of them immediately started to quarrel.
In less than two minutes, Catherine stood at the entrance of the bedroom in her pajamas, looking at the three laughing guys, and asked helplessly: "Are you all awake? Then I'll make breakfast?"
The three guys continued to laugh, and only Luke took the time to say hello, and then they started to make trouble again.
Five minutes later, Robert got up with a sullen face.
As a result, when I saw the three "children" laughing and playing in the living room, the resentment of being woken up early in the morning suddenly disappeared, and a smile appeared on my face.
This scene is so familiar.
More than a year ago, it appeared frequently at home.
Seeing it again now, it seems like it was a long time ago.
After making a lot of noise for a while, the three of them ended their childish behavior only after Catherine shouted "It's time for breakfast".
After breakfast, everyone went out again and toured New York under the guidance of Luke, the 20-year-old tour guide.
This continued for the next two days.
There was no urgent task at the police station, so Luke was naturally not drafted into the army. He had a leisurely and warm Christmas.
On the morning of the 27th, Luke took everyone to visit Chinatown, and at noon they could go to the familiar roast meat shop to try authentic Chinese local specialties.
Walking in Chinatown, there are people coming and going, it is much more lively than other streets.
Most Chinese people in Chinatown do not celebrate Christmas, at least they do not regard it as a major holiday, but just as a good day to make money.
On Christmas when most restaurants are closed, all the restaurants here are naturally booming.
Fortunately, Luke, a "China expert", was well prepared, and repeat customers also received preferential treatment from the boss.
After paying a high meal fee in advance, the owner of the roast meat shop had already reserved a "private room" for them, so they could stroll around Chinatown leisurely and go directly to eat when it was time for dinner.
After lunch, the whole family wandered around Chinatown, looking at everything curiously.
In the Chinese gift shop, there are all kinds of Chinese knots, window paper-cut stickers, electronic lanterns, electronic firecrackers, Spring Festival couplets, blessing characters, windmills, and kites. Claire and Joseph's eyes and hands are not enough to take in all the sights.
When Luke saw a small shop selling candied haws, he immediately bought some for the whole family.
Claire, who is greedy and loves to eat, even bought two of each of hawthorn, apple and strawberry.
However, she generously allowed Joseph to have a taste of each, and she was responsible for finishing off the rest.
The family did this, wrapping various small things in their hands and sticking them in them, while not forgetting to crunch on the candied haws.
Only Robert was the most depressed.
He chose apples because apples go with Christmas.
But he didn't like sweets very much. The apple under the sugar skin didn't taste sweet, but sour. He also didn't like sour taste, so he had to bite the bullet.
Luke took the most traditional candied hawthorn fruit and ate it slowly, savoring the taste of his previous life, while watching Robert, who had a sad face.
Suddenly, he noticed that Robert froze.
He was extremely quick to react and immediately looked in the direction where Robert was looking. He saw the backs of a man and a woman just standing in a daily necessities store.
Luke raised an eyebrow and moved closer to Robert: "Do you know him?"
Robert turned his head and frowned: "You know him too?"
Neither of them mentioned the woman, they only talked about the man.
Luke nodded slightly. The two of them just happened to walk past the door of the grocery store at this time, and saw the man in the store took out a roll of sealing tape from his pocket, but was forcibly held down by the woman who was traveling with him.
The woman whispered, "Is this what you mean by talk? I thought I was the only one who enjoyed this treatment."
Man: “Because it works.”
The woman's face was filled with horror. "The girl just died. Don't you have any sympathy? At least let me try first, ok?"
The man hesitated for a moment, finally put the sealing tape back into his pocket, and followed the woman in.
At this time, he finally pulled off his woolen hat, revealing a big bald head.
Luke: ...Yeah, that must be the guy.
Two nights ago, this bald gangster faced a team of professional mercenaries alone in a two-story building in North Bergen. He killed fifteen people with just a small pistol. What a violent gangster!
Robert withdrew his gaze and continued to follow Catherine and the others forward without stopping at all.
Luke quickened his pace and chased after him: "Enemy?"
Robert's mouth twitched, and he shook his head decisively, whispering, "That old guy used to be my instructor."
Luke was stunned: "So?"
Robert: "So if you see him, stay as far away from him as possible. This guy has a lot of problems. If you get close to him, you will only get into trouble."
Seeing Luke's thoughtful expression, he sighed and said it more bluntly: "If there are a hundred people who want me dead, then there are at least a thousand people who want him dead... No, there should be about two or three thousand."
Luke's mouth twitched: "...Then why is he still alive?"
Robert curled his lips and said, "I can live, so it's not surprising for him to live and retire. After all, he is a red."
Luke: "What red?"
Robert: "retired, extremely dangerous."
At this point, he noticed Luke's gaze and rolled his eyes: "OK, me too, but not as exaggerated as him."
Luke could only laugh at this.
When the Carlos family went to Shackelford to commit suicide, although Robert only killed a dozen bandits, it was Luke who got there first.
Afterwards, it was Luke who took the lead and went to Mexico to wipe out the Carlos Family.
In fact, Robert just hadn't found a suitable reason to go out, otherwise the Carlos family would have been wiped out a few days later.
Therefore, the degree of "exaggeration" that Robert mentioned is only slightly less than that of the bald boss.
Luke thought about it and simply described the situation of the bald boss being attacked.
Robert was very calm: "There are many people who want to kill him, but in the end, he killed even more idiots. It's not necessary, just pretend you've never seen him."
Luke: "What is absolutely necessary?"
Robert: "For example, if he gets shot several times and is about to die in front of you, it's almost necessary."
Luke: ...Isn't this just turning a blind eye and turning a deaf ear
From these words, Luke also knew that Robert didn't believe that anyone could do anything to his instructor.
Perhaps, someone had been severely punished by this instructor? Luke silently imagined Robert being scolded by the bald boss, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.
Robert suddenly felt an itch on his vest and turned his head to look: "Tell me, what are you thinking about? It must not be a good thing!"
