Chapter 26 Martin’s Big Plan
  Although Uncle Martin has worked hard in the United States for many years, his thoughts on education still retain quite a Chinese tradition.

Not to mention things like "trucking class". As long as families with relatively normal educational concepts, whether they are from the East or the West, have a considerable degree of resentment.

So Terry had to hurry up and give an explanation.

"I had a very bizarre nightmare and felt terrible, so I took time off to see the psychiatrist you mentioned."

The explanation was brief, but it made Uncle Martin's face soften.

It was easy to verify the authenticity of such words, and he believed that his nephew would not deceive him.

What's more, Terry does seem to have some mental problems. The mental world scene before transferring to another school was still vivid in Martin Lee's memory.

But unfortunately, that kind of deep-spirited power came from his superpower, and he didn't understand what those inexplicable and wonderful mosaic oceans in his nephew's mind actually represented in reality.

It was all Martin could do to find Terry a psychiatrist ranked among the best in New York.

Martin stretched out his hand and patted the back of Terry's hand on his knee: "Relax, no matter what, uncle will be your support and supporter."

"I'm not spying on you intentionally - the main reason is that both of your cards are my secondary cards, and the fast food restaurant you ate at in the afternoon sent three spam advertising text messages to my phone after you checked out. "

Terry's heart was filled with the happiness of being cared for, which made him almost forget the bad memories from his 'other self' in his mind.

"The swordsmanship gym is very good. It can exercise your body and cultivate your ability to deal with unexpected crises."

"No, no, no, I have no objection to anything you buy. Cultivating hobbies is very important. I support all your legitimate hobbies."

"So I accidentally saw your purchase record..."

Terry's eyes became subtle, and he rubbed his thighs with his hands awkwardly: "I wanted to develop some hobbies, so I went to purchase some alloys to make some handicrafts. Oh, I also signed up for a hotel in the afternoon. Swordsmanship hall.”

"You are free to spend money however you want. Just remember to take care of your health. If you don't have enough money, just tell your uncle."

Almost forgot.

Martin Lee laughed happily at Terry's nervousness.

"Just ask."

Martin held the steering wheel, tilted his head slightly and smiled: "Otherwise, I don't want to let you live freely and eat fast food every day."

Terry opened his mouth to speak, but Martin apologized first.

"Ok!"

After receiving Martin's affirmation, Terry's eyes showed a little confusion: "I... happened to know someone, someone who has the same tragic past as us."

"I sympathize with him, but trying to help him will remind me of the bad things in the past, so I am particularly afraid of contacting him."

Martin drove his newly purchased luxury car into the traffic on the main road.

"Isn't it?"

Ah this.

Terry was a little surprised: "Eating a luxurious meal again? Didn't you just eat it yesterday?"

"Uncle, I have a question."

The silver-white car started slowly, and Martin said he would take Terry to a nice restaurant.

"I don't know what I should do. I'm living a happy life now. Those bad things should be completely forgotten. I don't want to fall into that kind of emotion again, so I don't know what choice I should make."

Martin fell into a brief silence as he listened to Terry's description.

He stared at the endless traffic ahead of the road, carefully considered it in his mind, and finally spoke slowly in a very gentle voice.

“Suffering gives us more than just bad memories.”

"It's about perseverance against all difficulties in the future and cherishing and protecting all the good things in the present."

"I used to teach you to be kind and patient in reaching out to people who were like us, but those were just words of education."

“In fact, our personal abilities are too small to save so many suffering people in this world.” ˆ ˆ ˆ “But remember, our hearts must not be indifferent because of this. Sympathy and compassion have always been gifts given to us by the suffering life - —Strengthen yourself, and then help others to the best of your ability!”

"Make your conscience choice, Terry, that's all."

The car stopped in front of a restaurant whose decoration was no less impressive than the luxurious hotel yesterday.

As soon as Martin Lee parked, two doormen came over to help them open the car door. Martin handed the car key to him with a tip in a slightly unfamiliar manner, and then asked Terry, who was even more embarrassed, to get out of the car.

After all, Peter was by his side yesterday, and the excited whispers of two peers could easily alleviate the embarrassment of a country bumpkin going to town.

But when Martin took him to the front desk to receive something, Terry felt a little unbelievable.

Because Martin actually spent a lot of money to book a long-term membership here, and told him that he could come here for dinner after school.

He stupidly took the membership card, entered the information with the professional smile of the beautiful lady at the front desk, and followed Uncle Martin step by step. Terry's ears repeatedly echoed the price quoted by the beautiful young lady just now.

A three-month membership here is more than his annual pocket money and living expenses combined.

Terry was also certain of something else.

It may be hard to say in Manhattan, but in Queens, my wallet is definitely richer than more than 90% of the residents of Queens, New York.

It's like saying that Uncle Martin booked him a dinner canteen for the next semester in a place where 99% of people can't afford it.

"Don't eat that unclean and nutritious fast food again."

Martin patted Terry on the shoulder and looked at his nephew with the classic kind eyes of an elder: "Maybe if he takes good care of himself, he can grow even taller."

"If you have a girlfriend, remember to invite her here for dinner. Don't be stingy when it comes to love."

"Oh my God, uncle, how big of a fortune did you make?"

Terry carefully placed the black and gold membership card close to his body.

"What words?!"

Martin Li chuckled: "This is what your uncle earned from his hard work in business. Let's eat first. I have some things to tell you slowly."

In the magnificent hall, Martin and Terry sat opposite each other, watching the waiters wearing black uniforms that were more expensive than him take turns to serve the meals respectfully. Martin waved his knife and fork to cut a piece of beef. Drain into Terry's plate.

"I'm sorry, Terry."

Seeing Terry eating the steak happily, Martin's gentle eyes showed a little apology.

“My business has begun to develop in an amazing way that I didn’t even expect. I will be very busy for a long time—maybe so busy that I won’t be able to come and spend it with you on your birthday next month. "

Terry's cheeks paused.

He is seventeen years old this year, and his birthday next month, according to the custom here, should be his coming-of-age ceremony.

The only relative he has is Uncle Martin. It would undoubtedly be a great pity if the coming-of-age ceremony did not have Uncle Martin's blessing.

But Terry still pretended to be relaxed: "No problem, uncle, can I hold a party at home then? Invite my new friends and classmates."

"Of course, when you become an adult, you should have your own more exciting social activities."

Martin pushed a plate of foie gras in front of Terry: "It's not just business. I made a new plan based on the previous plan for managing a charity. Once successful, our uncle and nephew will even be able to enjoy an improvement in social status." !”

Terry didn't know much about business, so he could only nod obediently.

Improving social status has always been Uncle Martin's dream. No matter how rich ordinary yellow people are in business, they are still very fragile and precarious compared to the general environment of the United States.

Uncle Martin needs to devote all his energy to big things, and Terry should naturally give his uncle the moral support he expects.

"Go ahead and do it, uncle, but remember not to let yourself get too tired. As you told me, a balance between work and rest is also important."

Martin nodded solemnly and made a promise to Terry that he had repeated many times: "When uncle succeeds, we will travel and go to the North Pole to see the aurora!"
