Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 565 Godfather and Folklore

The manager of Mitsui Fudosan immediately and consciously withdrew from the main venue after the performance of "showing loyalty".Standing aside, like a waiter, serving tea and water to everyone present
It was as if the matter of reporting income to Carter just now did not exist at all.Since, he didn't mention it, Carter didn't pursue it either.
The dinner is just like what Shoichiro Toyoda said, if you say it is to make friends, then it must be to make friends!As for what's going on behind the scenes, at least at the dinner, everyone was talking nonsense, and there was nothing dry about it.As an accompanying guest, Carter, who is also regarded as the host, has a smiling face, chatting with this person for a while, chatting with that person for a while
As a person who may be younger than their children, he is also the focus of this dinner.Ears are filled with praises of "young and promising", and there are glasses of drinks on the lips. If the manager of Mitsui Fudosan didn't help to block the drinks, Carter felt that he might drink to death at this kind of dinner.
After a nutritious meal, Carter did not foolishly wait for the Japanese in New York to express.Waking up from the hotel room at noon the next day, after a simple wash, he boarded his private jet and returned to his hometown in Texas
After a few years of absence, when I return to Texas, the people here are still very enthusiastic!
Grandpa took a few unscrupulous uncles to deal with the so-called good wild boar in the backyard of the hut.The children ran around Carter in ROTC uniform
Except for his cousin Levine, who was a policeman in Douglas, the other brothers and sisters who were about the same age were watching Carter, who was showing his grandma to his grandma, with interest.

"Muscle is still a little less!"

"A lot, much better than when I came back two years ago!"

"Besides, Carter is an officer, and an officer from a prestigious university can compare with a soldier like you who is at the bottom of high school? He is playing with his brain!"

"Grandma, have you seen enough?"

After being watched like a monkey for a while, Carter lamented helplessly.The old man's thoughts are not good or not satisfied, but...
"Not enough, not enough, no matter how I look at it, my grandson is not enough!"

The old lady walking around Carter stretched out her hands for a while to pull the cuffs and the hem of Carter's military uniform.
"You can retract the thread here, so that it looks more upright! Come on, take it off first, grandma will change it for you!"

"Grandma. You really don't need to worry about it. This uniform will have to be changed after a few years!"

"Being able to wear it for a year is also the first military officer of our Black family. The dress must not be bad! Let the old guy in Potsdam always show off his captain's son to me. Your two uncles are not up to date, and Levante is no good. Brainless bastard, now grandma is counting on you to save face for me!"

After almost forcibly stripping off Carter's clothes, the old lady turned around to look for a needle and thread, while chanting.In addition to those children who are interested in the colorful medals on the military uniforms, Levante and others, who are known for their lack of brains, are also running away
The warm family life continued until night fell.With the arrival of Jenny and Melis, the bonfire dinner started again.
There are still the same people, but this year, Grace, who raises cattle, has added a newcomer.The babbling baby, with big eyes blinking, burrowed straight into Carter's arms
"It's over, it looks like my daughter can't keep it!"

Seeing his daughter who cried when I hugged him and Carter who laughed when I hugged him, Uncle Grace burst into tears with laughter
"Carter, how about you come to be the godfather of this little guy?"

"Me? Let me forget it. I don't even have a girlfriend. How can I be a godfather? And how old am I?"

Looking at the baby with a silly grin in his arms, Carter declined with a smile.In European and American countries, although the meaning of godfather is not limited to the priest who baptizes children as before, or is only responsible for their religious education
But the responsibility it has to bear is far heavier than that of the foster father in China.Although the little girl was cute, Carter didn't want to put an extra burden on himself if possible.It's just that the family's thoughts often run counter to their own thoughts
"Age is nothing. You are 18 years older than little Christian. In the past, you were old enough to be a father! Besides, you are the most promising around us. Godfather, you can do everything!"

Mrs. Grace was very moved by her husband's proposal.
After all, the Black family knew each other well, having been neighbors for many years.Don't worry about the other party's character. If it's just like this, it's fine, but this Black family unexpectedly produced a Carter.
The last time I saw you was two years ago.At the beginning, the young man who had to drive over [-] hours to come here has already used a private jet in just two years. In the eyes of the Sri Lankan, it is an extremely correct and very rewarding quasi-military officer status
If the child can have such a godfather, it will be of great benefit to her future and the future of her family!
"I also think this proposal is good, Carter! You have bought the plane now, and you can come back often to accompany your grandparents in the future. When the time comes, take care of little Christian. It can be regarded as learning how to be a father in advance! You should be ready to consider starting a family thing!"

Seeing Carter holding the child in his arms, Jenny's eyes were a little red.Looking at Little Christian, it's like looking at his granddaughter
As for Carter's only 19. Sorry, 19 is legally a dad in Texas!It's not too early!

"Okay, okay! Then am I going to be an aunt? Little guy, call me aunt!"

In addition to the thoughts of the adults, Melis also eagerly teased the little guy with her fingers.
The grandparents did not express their opinions, but the smiles between their eyebrows showed the old man's thoughts vividly and delicately.The elderly are already old, but they don't care about the too long future.In their view, as long as Carter, a promising grandson, can often come back to accompany them and slowly return to family life in Texas, that would be the happiest thing.
Facing such a group of relatives in this world, Carter had no choice but to compromise.He nodded and accepted the matter. As for the baptism of the baby, it is naturally arranged by the "knowledgeable" uncles.

From a certain point of view, this can be regarded as a kind of folk custom in the United States.
The concept of clan may not be strong in the United States, but think about it carefully.
Here in Texas is a treasure land!

There seems to be nothing wrong with integrating into Texas.
