America 1979

Chapter 28
After washing up in the bathroom with considerable delay, Bill, who was wearing a second-hand T-shirt and sports shorts bought a few days ago, walked out with wet hair that had been wiped with a dry towel, and went to the living room to shake hands and say hello to the guests.

The state of wet hair depends on the appearance. If it is ugly, it is called dry hair, and if it is handsome, it is the youthful look of wet hair.

Fortunately, Bill belongs to the latter category.

"Forgive me for not welcoming you at home immediately." Bill spread his hands exaggeratedly, making a helpless gesture, "I really can't get away from the training on the weekend. After I played tight end this semester, the schedule has become even worse. full."

There are two sofas in the living room of the uncle’s house, the long one is where the three members of the Connery family are sitting upright, and the short one is on the right side, with Aunt and Dorothy squeezed on it.

After explaining, Mr. Ferrari pulled a chair by the dining table to the left of the couch and joined the chat.

"Wow, football player, school star!" Susan Connelly repeated politely.

"It's a good thing Bill was a strong football player, or my wife would have been miserable that night." Gerard continued the conversation.

Just now they chatted happily on Dorothy's college application. After Bill, the owner to thank, came, the atmosphere was not as good as before.

"This is what any Catholic with a sense of justice in his heart should do, regardless of the game. Even if I was a five-foot, 120-pound little guy, I would have stepped forward at that time and place to stop the lawlessness of the gangsters. "

Bill tried his best to put on a sense of righteousness and awe-inspiring mission, and made eye contact with the Connery couple many times during his speech.

Gerard is a middle-aged white man with a beard, wearing a Ralph Lauren polo shirt and unidentified sweatpants, with a muscular physique suitable for a wealthy middle class.

Rumor has it that he is Catholic, and it just so happens that Bill's family are, so Mr. Ferrari said.

"Christ my Lord!" Gerard made the sign of the sign of the cross hastily upon hearing this.

Then came the very polite words of thanks.

It's just that Gerard was talking, and found that Bill was staring at his beautiful daughter, so he tentatively asked, "Mr. Ferrari?"

Of course Bill would not be so gaffe, he stared at little Jennifer mainly for two reasons, one is to see Jennifer's flourishing beauty face to face on the spot, and the other is to pick up the plane and give Gerard Connelly some advice.

Jennifer, who is more than nine years old and almost ten years old, is a beautiful age when her aura is just beginning to emerge. She has black hair and thick eyebrows, and her facial features have a classic aristocratic temperament, but her straight nose brings girlish innocence, sweetness and self-willedness to her face.

"To be honest, this is the first time I have seen such a beautiful girl at such a close distance. Forgive my gaffe, please allow me to use a set of words to describe her..."

Bill's right hand was flying in the air, and after a few swipes, he pretended to think of it suddenly: "The girl next door in the advertiser's dream is the kind of candy sweetheart temperament."

Gerard's mentality changed from embarrassment at the beginning to joy, "I've always thought so, Jenny's face was born for advertisements, look at those female stars and models on TV, Which one is as beautiful as my daughter?"

It has always been his long-cherished wish to let his daughter enter the show business circle to become a star, but his wife Susan always believes that going to college and getting good grades is more important, and the two have conflicts in this regard.

"Just because our daughter is prettier than the stars, we have to keep her out of school? Which big shot do you think has a community college degree?" Susan Connery didn't budge at all, even during her visit.

As she spoke, she pulled her daughter towards her, for fear of getting her husband's bad luck.

"Ms. Susan, maybe you have misunderstood. Going to school is still what children of Jennifer's age should do, but after class, you can let her participate in some fashion shows and guest movies. These extracurricular activities are very important for applying for college. Very big points, Dorothy, and you have experience in this line, don't you think?"

After talking for a long time, Bill looked at his sister.

Although Dorothy didn't know what the hell her brother was doing, she continued to talk: "Yes, the Ivy League schools put a lot of emphasis on extracurricular items, which are about the same level as SAT scores, because the admissions teachers We believe that extracurricular social experience reflects a person's comprehensive ability."

"Really?" Susan asked suspiciously.

"Yes, yes." The aunt immediately climbed the pole and praised her niece, "This is how Dorothy applied to Columbia University. Extracurricular experience is very important, no less than SAT scores."

Although she doesn't know what the SAT is.

Their topic just now was Dorothy's studies, and Dorothy's horrible SAT score of 1548 made Dorothy's words particularly convincing, and her endorsement also made Bill's suggestion a little bit more reasonable.

"What's more, our Ferrari and Conti families are both literary and artistic families. Our great-great-great-grandparents once helped Michelangelo design churches. I knew at a glance that Jennifer was expected to be a movie star. Look at this face, long Just like the nobility of the Roman Empire."

Bill started talking nonsense.

My aunt was a little puzzled, "Didn't our great-great-great-grandfather paint for Da Vinci? How did it become Michelangelo?"

Bill resolutely said: "Both, both masters have cooperated with our ancestors, after all, they are from a family of literature and art!"

Gerard patted his thigh. "That's right, what Bill from the Literary Family said! Our Jenny was born to be a star."

As he spoke, he tilted his head and asked his daughter beside him, "Little Jenny, do you want to go outside in a little skirt?"

The little girl stroked her black hair obediently, "Daddy, I want to wear a small skirt."

With his daughter's reply, Gerard became more confident, "Look, Susan, Jenny chose it by herself. I'll contact some agents of the fashion show to see if they want such a beautiful girl."

"Don't forget to make an appearance in a movie, such as the literary works of well-known Italian directors, it's just a cameo, even if scouts come to scout Jennifer, don't agree, it's better to focus on the courses in the school."

Bill continued to suggest.

Gerard nodded approvingly, and every word of this strong high school student reached his heart.

At this time, the uncle who had been busy in the kitchen area for a long time announced that the lunch was ready and asked his family to help.So a bunch of people went to help, some persuaded the guests to move the table, and some continued to chat.

"The film director, the one we know is from the mixed crew. He knows quite a few great directors." The uncle also joined the topic.

Although he didn't say who "that who" is, according to the habits of Italians, this person exists, but there is no human relationship between the two, and he knows that there is such a person.

"Really?" Gerard was even more happy. Italians are always famous for their teamwork. Well-known Italian directors always use people from their own circles. Even big Hollywood companies can't get involved in the crew of Italian directors. , can only invest money, and then be ruined by the directors in various names.

If someone recommends to the directors, her daughter's stardom will be smooth sailing.
