Before she had a long time to chat, an old woman walked out with a large plate of hot barbecue. She put the plate on the dining table, then wiped her hands and smiled.

"I heard you say bad things about Peter through the living room. Today, there are guests here, so don't always teach Peter a lesson like a child."

"It is because you always protect him that he is not mature at all!" Ben Parker complained, and at the same time walked forward and put his arms around the old woman's shoulder and introduced to Zhou Yi.

"Mr. Zhou, this is my wife, Mei Parker. Dear, this is what I have always told you that Mr. Zhou who saved me, and these two cute little angels, are Mr. Zhou's children."

May Parker held her husband's arm and said to Zhou Yi with a look of gratitude.

"Mr. Zhou, thank you very much. If something happened to my husband, I really don't know how terrible it would be. You saved our family."

"You are so kind, Mrs. Parker. I just happened to it. In that case, I believe that everyone with a conscience will lend a helping hand."

"But you saved him, that's enough. We will always be grateful to you, sir!" The old woman's attitude was very firm. She was so determined that Zhou Yi could not refuse. He could only remain silent and agreed to this statement.

At this time, the old woman turned her attention to the two girls. When she saw these two girls, her wrinkled face instantly stretched out like blooming flowers. What she showed was an unconcealed look of love in her eyes.

"What two cute children, Mr. Zhou. It's God's favor to have such a cute child, and only you can have such a cute little angel."

"I said that Peter should be married early so that we can see his children sooner!" Ben Parker was still muttering obsessed with him at this time, while Mrs. May quietly pinched his waist.

"I'm talking nonsense again, you old guy. Peter hasn't graduated from high school yet. How could he get married so soon? Even if he gets married, he has to wait until he goes to college."

"It's been less than two years since I said this."

Amid the two old men's mutters, Peter ran away in panic. He really couldn't accept being arranged like this, and he could only escape from this place that made him embarrassed under the guise of going to the kitchen.

Zhou Yi enjoys this kind of experience of chatting with others. He is a square person, but he is very humorous. You can always find some fun when chatting with him. Whether it is factual news or some gossip news, the old man can clearly see some of the hidden things. After chatting with him for a while, Zhou Yi has a feeling of benefiting a lot. It cannot be said that he is right, but some of the life values ​​are enough to arouse Zhou Yi's thinking.

Mrs. Mei seemed to be more interested in the two little girls. She kept asking about the two little girls, and even took out snacks and honey to treat the two little guests. It can be seen that the old woman seemed to like them very much, as if she completely regarded them as her own children.

With the guests and hosts having fun, lunch time was already unknowingly. So the group naturally got on the dining table.

The lunch prepared by Parker's family was barbecue, sandwiches and sea bass, and the after-meal dessert was apple pie and biscuits, plus the snacks brought by Zhou Yi.

When they opened a bottle of red wine, several people continued to chat just now while enjoying Mrs. Mei's excellent craftsmanship. Generally speaking, it is not suitable for talking when eating, but the old rule has long since changed with the changes of the times.

Many American families like to talk about interesting things during family dinners, so that they will not make the family dinner seem boring, but also deepen the relationship with guests.

The Parker family may not be rich, but they live happily and fulfillingly. Zhou Yi finally understood why Peter was able to go from a grassroots class to a hero valued by people.

It is not because he is strong enough, but because he is sincere enough. He is not cynical because of poverty, nor seeks personal gain because of his own identity. He is simply doing things to serve others and doing his best to bear the responsibilities he can do.

And in the middle, his family played a very important role. A family of good people provided a real hero for the world with their simple and pure values.

Lunch continued, but Zhou Yi had already begun to be an honest listener, listening to Ben expressing his simple views in a loud voice.

"I don't think there is anything different about mutants. There is no need to impart the dirty thoughts of politicians into ourselves. If you haven't seen others do evil, you don't have the right to blame others. Just do your own duties well. Why do you need to listen to others and change your own opinions?"

"But you know, many people in this world are blind. They will follow the people around them and speak out. This is also the reason why many politicians need to control media and public opinion. They need these to entangle the people's thoughts."

Zhou Yi poured a glass of wine for the old man and expressed his views.

"Thoughts will not be blinded. People will see everything clearly in the end. No one can always bury the truth. As a person who has lived for most of his life, I can only say that time can make you see more clearly. When encountering such a chaotic situation where you can't even see clearly, waiting is often a better choice. If you really need to make any choice, I can only say that changing your position is also a way."

"You can't make choices on behalf of others. If you really want to do this, think about it from the other person's standpoint. On the other hand, if others force you to do something, think about it from the other person's standpoint. Sometimes, there may be unexpected results."

The old man shook his head and expressed his opinion. This view made Zhou Yi amazed.

"You are right, and the position is the key. To be honest, Mr. Parker, your remarks are really incisive. I feel that you are more skilled than the professors who taught sociology in college. I would like to ask, what kind of job are you doing?"

"I may be disappointed. I have nothing to do with such a noble profession as a university professor. I am just an ordinary worker who has been retired. I have worked sincerely for decades and have my own insights into the world."

"When it comes to this, I would like to thank you again for your work. If you had no help from you, Peter would not have become a formal journalist so easily. You have brought hope to our family."

The old man said nothing about the fact that he had lost his job, and at the end he expressed his gratitude to Zhou Yi, which made him a little confused.

"Sorry, Ben. I don't understand what hope means?"

After looking at his somewhat uneasy nephew, Ben Parker replied with a smile.

"There is nothing to be embarrassed to tell you. Peter's child has always had good grades, so his aunt and I have always hoped that he can go to college. But because I lost my job, the family really couldn't afford his tuition."

"I originally wanted to find some odd jobs and make some money while I was still able to move. But Peter, the child, actually quarreled with me, saying that he would rather not go to college than let me go to work again. Fortunately, you gave him an exclusive interview right, which would allow him to make money from his own work, otherwise our family might have to make trouble for a while!"

"This is not a good thing, Peter. No matter what, you should not disobey your elders." As a member of the elders, especially when the two little guys were on the side, Zhou Yi naturally stood on Ben's side. However, he was very smooth in this matter. "But I can understand your mood, after all, you are also filial. But I think Mr. Parker is in good health and is far from when he is about to retire, so your worries are unnecessary."

"That's right, Peter is just a child, and he always wants to make decisions for us. It's really unreasonable! I know my body very well, and there is no problem with work or anything. Staying at home will make me sick." Ben Parker said with a blushing face. Obviously he was very happy to find someone with the same view as him.

"Uncle!" Peter could only say resentfully. At this time, he could only act as an accusation bag, not even a little refutation.

At this time, Zhou Yi thought about it and took the opportunity to say.

"If Mr. Parker wants to work, I have a job here for you!"

"Is that so good?" Ben opened his mouth and agreed immediately. He hadn't expected such a good thing.

But Peter was unwilling to do so, so he quickly inserted it in.

"Wait for a moment, uncle, at least you have to ask clearly before agreeing to others? It is a big mistake to promise something you can't do, you can tell me."

"Peter!" Ben elongated his voice. It was a very rude thing for Peter to interrupt at this time, although he knew it was for his own good. "You should trust Mr. Zhou, this is a matter of politeness."

"Don't blame him, Mr. Parker. This is what he should do, and he just cares about you. I should make the job clear first."

Zhou Yi waved his hand to stop Ben from scolding Peter.

"This job is like this. You should know that I recently sponsored an event in New York. The mutant guys didn't have a place to stay in downtown New York. So I gave up an apartment under my name. But because of their identity, the original apartment administrator had resigned. So I kept looking for a new administrator."

"The requirements are not high, as long as it does not discriminate against mutants. The daily work is only necessary to prevent some messy people from entering the apartment. If you are treated, everything will be better! How about it, Mr. Parker, are you interested?"

This kind of thing was not needed to be investigated by Zhou Yi, but because everything in the newly established mutant department was monitored by Ada and reported to him at any time, he knew what was happening around these mutants. And just so happened that he remembered the vacancy of this position.

In his opinion, not many people would be more suitable than Ben Parker. This old man wise, sober and clearly expressed his views on treating mutants and humans equally. He would not be hostile to the young people, nor would he be merciful to them. This view is the most important. What's more, he is Spider-Man's uncle.
