Reborn America, this is my time

Chapter 38 Oh~ How did I become someone else's child?
Feelings belong to feelings, business belongs to business.

This is a favorite sentence that Ethan's teacher who taught finance said when he was in school in his previous life.

The original intention of the old professor was to hope that his students would not engage in insider trading after they went to work in the financial field. Although Longchang Enlightenment is very good, it is not worth losing freedom.

But Ethan has always felt that this sentence is infinitely applicable in shopping malls.

A business is a business, and if you mix it with anything, it will spoil it, especially in the United States.

So he won't interfere with Atari's choice, because he believes that as long as he shows kindness, Nolan Bushnell will fight for himself to some extent.

After all, he still remembers the day Steve Jobs told him that Nolan Bushnell pleaded directly with Ralph Bell in court in order to reach a settlement.

Ethan will not show any sympathy for this kind of 'I admit my mistake, but I don't admit punishment'.

But after leaving Nolan Bushnell's office, the corners of Ethan's mouth twitched again.

When he thought that he would become a millionaire in two weeks, he was in a very good mood.

When saying goodbye to Steve Jobs, he even took out the check in his arms and shook it in front of the other party.

That gesture of beating caused Old Qiao, who was waiting to be paid, to raise a fist the size of a sandbag.

"Do you believe that my punch can make you see God?"

"A little bit~"

Ethan stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, and before Jobs raised his fist, he just ran away~
And that sudden roar made him laugh very happily.

After leaving the Atari in his Chevrolet, Ethan didn't go home immediately, but went to San Jose, deposited the check, and drew a thousand dollars in cash, and then he went shopping in this big city in the Bay Area. .

Then, he hummed a tune in the broken car and drove back slowly.

Since the last time he celebrated making money, he turned the surprise into a fright and was directly scolded by Linda, so after making a lot of money this time, he decided not to play tricks, and went back directly with a gift.

On the way, he even imagined how excited Thomas, Linda and Evelyn would be when they saw the gifts on the car, but when he drove the car to the door of the house...

He felt something was wrong.

Ben held the steering wheel with one hand, and Ethan sat up straight with the other on the car window.

He took off the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose directly.

Those clear and flawless pupils were filled with endless bewilderment.

Because in front of him, in front of his house, there were several cars parked.

There are those he can recognize at a glance, the Ford driven by Thomas, the old Buick, the Honda that has only entered the American market in recent years, and the Dodge Ram that Chrysler launched this year, and then there is a...

"Is this special Porsche tractor?"

If it wasn't for the Porsche logo on the big red tractor, Ethan would suspect that his eyes were wrong!
wrong!

Even with the logo, he still feels a little abnormal!
If it wasn't for the fact that the house in front of him was exactly the same as the home he remembered, he would feel that he drove to the wrong place!

Get out of the car carefully, and walk lightly to the door with the gift in hand.

Before he opened the door, bursts of buzzing entered his ears——

"Let me tell you, Ethan was brought up by me alone! If he can succeed, it's because I educated him well!"

"What? William, what do you say? You don't believe it?"

"Oh! I'm telling you this! Ethan is 20 years old now, and he's definitely been with me the longest!"

"His mother is a teacher. He went to school soon after he was born. His father is a soldier. He takes a little vacation every year. So when they are busy, Ethan lives in our house. After all, our family Evelyn is only one year older than him, so his parents are relieved to put him here."

"What happened after that... let alone talk about it, right?"

"So, why was Ethan able to make "Snake Game"? Why was it reported by the "Los Angeles Times?"

"In addition to inheriting his mother's genes, I am more important! I am Thomas Johnson! Good guidance!"

"I'm willing to teach him to study! I'm willing to spend money on his study!"

"It's like growing oranges. Although the seedling cultivation in the early stage is a long and painful process, as long as you cultivate with all your heart, you will be able to harvest perfect fruits!"

"Hi! Michael! What are you laughing at! I mean it!"

"Fxxk! If you don't believe me, you can ask Ethan yourself after he comes back!"

The cursing words made Ethan realize instantly.

Almost at the same time, an unexpected smile appeared on his face.

Because he never expected that before he came back to announce the good news, Thomas had already boasted in front of his friends, and seeing the situation, this guy even praised him as someone else's child.

This kind of thing is really...

Well, he admits, he was unprepared for this sudden gathering.

but……

Life, if there is no accident, is it still life?

Taking two deep breaths, he pursed his dry lips.

He took out the orange key, then pushed the door open and entered.

Although the creaking sound of the wooden door is not inconspicuous in the face of the noise.

But at the same time, Ethan also let go of his voice and shouted: "Thomas! Linda! I'm back!"

"Where are you? Come out quickly! I brought you gifts!"

Ethan's call was like a reservoir gate, opening the gate to release the water.

With a bang, a burst of chaotic footsteps rushed to the entrance of the villa as if they heard the whole army attacking.

Thomas' figure also appeared in front of Ethan.

With his appearance, in just a few seconds, Ethan found that heads grew one after another in his living room.

That curious stare like a star in the night sky made him smile.

The red-faced Thomas didn't know how much he had drunk, and after seeing Ethan, he moved over with bright eyes.

"Ethan! Are you back?"

"When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

He rubbed his hands together, wanting to give Ethan a big hug.

But after seeing the pile of things in Ethan's hands, he stopped again.

And Ethan placed the gift he brought back on the shelf in the entrance, then picked up the top wooden box, and handed it to Thomas, "I just came back today, and I'll go to San Jose to buy you gifts after I get back."

"As for the reason..."

"I thought you'd heard? The game I made with Evelyn was in the paper! Or the Los Angeles Times!"

"So...you like to smoke, so I thought of giving you a pipe."

"Zig-Zag, briar, O'Paul style."

"Wear a cowboy hat and put it on, Wow~Thomas! You will definitely be more handsome than Brandy!"

After swiping twice, Thomas had already opened the box.

When the shiny pipe appeared, he couldn't put it down and played with it immediately.

But when he wanted to try it, he turned his head to look at the people in the room as if he remembered something.

After finding that the old guys were all envious, he immediately raised his arms, embraced Ethan, and said, "Ethan~ Thank you for your gift~ I like it very much~ But now is not the time for us to chat."

"It's just in time for you to come back today. Some of my friends are also game lovers. They all played the most popular arcade machine "Snake Game" on the market! After learning that this game was made by you, they couldn't wait to play it. I want to come over to meet you, and I want to know which great person a great game comes from!"

"If it's not troublesome, you..."

Before Thomas finished speaking, Ethan interrupted with a smile, "Oh, Thomas, why is this troublesome?"

"I have always told you that I have always regarded you as my father for so many years!"

"Just tell me if you have anything to do!"

Before the words fell, Thomas's face was shining with infinite joy.

And Ethan also greeted his uncles and uncles under his leadership.

Among them is a landowner who grows an orchard at home, just like Thomas.

There is also a businessman who usually plays with Thomas and has several fishing boats under his name who often go fishing.

There are farmers who raise dairy cows at home and are engaged in animal husbandry.

There are also those who specialize in poultry breeding. I heard that they are the big bosses who supply poultry to McDonald's Bay Area.

Although Ethan had never met them before, everyone was smiling when they met him.

After everyone gets to know each other, proper communication also occurs.

Under their oblique inquiries, Ethan said "Hello my uncle".

The landowner of the orchard asked him how the inspiration for "Snake Game" came from, and Ethan said that he had heard Thomas tell "Aesop's Fables" when he was a child, which contained the story of the farmer and the snake.

A fishery businessman asked him why he was interested in games, and Ethan said that because his parents passed away early, in order to make him happy, Thomas often took him out to relax, and what can children do to relax?Of course I played!

The farmer who raised the cows asked him what he thought after becoming famous, and Ethan said to buy gifts for his family, because the Johnson family has treated him very well since he was a child, respecting his ideas and taking care of his emotions, so he wants to Share the joy with your family.

When this kind of answer appeared, Thomas, who was leaning on the sofa, was almost useless to look at people with his nose!
The other people who looked at that proud look were a little bit itchy!
This situation also made Ethan accept it as soon as it was good.

Smiling at several uncles, he said that he still has something to do and needs to leave, then he gestured to Linda and pulled the helpless aunt out of the scene together.

When he came to the room on the second floor, Ethan directly asked his aunt what was going on downstairs.

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Linda rolled her eyes and said, "What else could it be? You succeeded, so successful that the "Los Angeles Times" reported your game! As soon as Thomas was happy, he called his friends every day to show off !"

"I told someone today, have you read the Los Angeles Times? My child is in the newspaper!"

"Tell someone tomorrow, "Snake Game", do you know? It was made by my children!"

"He's showing off like this, so why don't others just let him treat guests to drinks?"

"And then... Well, you just saw it."

Ok!

Linda's words made Ethan smile and shake his head.

He really didn't expect that Thomas could be so cute!
At the same time, he also took out the gift he bought for Linda and said, "Oh, Aunt Linda, don't be sad, come and see the clothes I bought for you. I have been picking out clothes in San Jose for a long time. The blue material suits you well..."
