The process of leaving Stone House and heading to the beach was another hectic one. The car that arrived this time was a pickup truck, which could accommodate people and carry cargo. However, because there were too many people, we had to make two trips.
Then there was someone who forgot to take something and went upstairs to get it, so the next group of people went there first. However, the people who passed by found that they had forgotten something, so they followed the car of the next group and came back to get it.
After getting there, he realized that he had forgotten something but was too lazy to come back to get it, so he used the phone to instruct others to help him get it, resulting in a chaotic scene where these people were in a hurry and forgot to pick up the thing.
In fact, the memory of superheroes is not that bad. If Schiller and Nick were kicked out, it shouldn't be so confusing.
Schiller has to prepare a lot of things, and he is almost in charge of all the food, which leads to him sometimes forgetting the sauce and sometimes forgetting the ice cubes.
Nick considers himself the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and feels that he has some management skills. Even though he has arrived at the beach first, he still feels that he is lacking in this and that. He still has to call back to remotely direct others to get things. One moment he wants to get the fishing rod, the other
Also prepare soft slippers.
The commander-in-chief of the house is obviously Pepper. Stark didn't coax little Morgan while he was holding him. He insisted on teasing her and made her cry. Pepper coaxed the child while giving instructions to get things. The instructions were basically ignored by the child.
The cries were muffled, and both parties inside and outside the house could not hear what the other said.
Peter and Gwen, two innocent young people, did whatever others said, and they came to help anyone who needed help, but they were led into chaos by Nick, causing everyone to be in chaos.
Half an hour of chaos passed, and half of the people were still in the Stone House. Schiller saw that the porridge he had cooked was about to get cold, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Luo Ji! Open the portal!"
Luo Ji opened a portal, thinking that Schiller was going to move something inside, but he rushed in, slipped Nick back, and then sent Stark and Pepper through.
After Nick came back, he could finally get the things he felt needed, and the beach was not so busy, so Pepper could concentrate on coaxing the children.
Under Schiller's command, everything was finally packed up. The pickup truck drove people directly through the portal and safely delivered the people and things to the beach.
Having learned the lesson from the start, Schiller divided them into several groups and began to prepare barbecue.
Reed, Susan, Peter, and Gwen, the two childless couples, were responsible for skewering the kebabs, Stark and Pepper, Steve and Carter were responsible for preparing the drinks, and Helen took the two mice to set up the grill.
Matt and Erica prepare the raw diet, Schiller and Edwin Carbon, and Jarvis and Wanda take care of all the kids.
As for Nick, he insisted that the tide conditions were good today and he could catch big fish, so he took his fishing rod and went fishing.
With the division of labor, the efficiency was much higher. The barbecue was ready in less than half an hour, and the sun was setting when everyone started eating.
Today's sunset is a little different. There are a lot of clouds on the horizon, and the sky's glow ignites the clouds, burning like a gorgeous and unknown dream in my youth.
The burning charcoal was blown up by the sea breeze into flaming debris, and drifted down little by little with the sun, like ribbons falling during the curtain call on an unattended stage. Even the California-style jazz music floating from afar was tinged with sadness.
Steve made the simplest balalaika out of palm tree trunk wood and fishing line, and sang a classic American ballad, "Sutter's Mill."
This song tells the story of old John's treasure hunt in the West. John killed people, dueled, and shed blood along the way, but in the end it was all in vain. In front of God, his achievements were worthless. He was born with nothing, and the same is true after death.
This song is reminiscent of the gold rush that once took place in California. The gold diggers also rushed to the beach at such a sunset, with their eyes full of enthusiasm for wealth and longing for a better life after obtaining gold.
In order to be able to pick up their own piece of gold, the gold diggers began to attack each other and spilled blood all over the land. Some people wasted their lives and left disappointed, while some people stayed on this land forever.
To this day, there are still countless immigrants who are as fanatical as gold diggers, braving the hot California sun, sweating all over their bodies, staying in the same dirty and dilapidated motels as they were a century ago, counting the days of today and tomorrow.
Living expenses, I want to risk my future in this land, which is known as the most advanced country in the world.
But if you think of Captain America's past, you will understand that this so-called most advanced country has used war to risk its own future.
If the country will also go to heaven when it is destroyed, how much value will this too young, reckless, passionate eagle have in front of God?
Steve's song may have given him the answer - "When John Sutter died, he was penniless."
The girls sat around on the beach. When Steve finished singing, there was warm applause. Carter hugged him and kissed his cheek gently. It was like a show of love, but more like comfort.
He understood what Steve was sentimental about. If there had been no war, he would not have had to undergo transformation or become Captain America. Although he may have been asleep for a long time, he would have used his own hands to create value that could support his family just like the Americans of that era.
, enjoy family happiness and spend your life peacefully.
Steve smiled at Carter, but didn't say much. Even if someone told him what would happen before he underwent the transformation, he would still go. He would even be surprised because he did not die during the operation.
On stage, he really became a useful person and even had his own legend. Like many Americans of that era, he felt sad and nostalgic, but he was also proud.
If there is anyone present who has the deepest sympathy for Steve, it is probably not Nick, who has had the same experience as him, but Stark, who was born in the new era.
If there is someone who is good at empathy and transmitting fire between hearts, then Stark is like a pine velvet who can turn other people's emotional streams into a pouring flood.
Stark's attitude towards this country is very complicated. He claims to be a patriot, but everyone can see that what he loves is not the current America, but what he thinks America should be like.
Some people hate the United States because they think the country is too bad, but others hate the United States because they think the country could be better.
Humanity has always been pursuing utopia. There is a group of people who believe that the United States had a chance to become a utopia, but they played a good hand and ended up like this.
Stark partially agrees with this view. Looking at the world today, those younger than the United States are not as powerful as the United States, and those who are more powerful than the United States are not as young as the United States. With geniuses from all over the world and all the dividends of the times, this country should be countless times better than it is now.
, even infinitely close to the utopia pursued by mankind.
But unfortunately, even with the promotion of the Radiance Alliance, science and technology have made great progress, the convenience of life for most people has been greatly improved, welfare has been restored, losses from various disasters have been minimized, and the lives of ordinary people have become better.
However, there are still various thorny problems that cannot be solved, or even cannot be solved at all.
People who think like Stark don't hate it so much as lament it. How many opportunities do humans have to pool the resources of the times to build the kingdom of heaven they long for?
Human beings have existed for more than two million years, but they are just a shallow footprint in the 200 million years that dinosaurs have ruled the earth. They are invisible claws in the snow and mud during the 4.6 billion years of the earth's existence. They are just a fleeting moment in the 13.8 billion years of the universe's existence.
The fleeting passing moment.
Stark's thoughts began to drift away. When he came back to his senses, the crowd had dispersed, the sky was dark, and the white beach reflected the night sky, turning into a deep blue. For a moment, he seemed to be back in New York again.
Beside the asphalt road, looking up are the lights of thousands of high-rise buildings.
Stark turned his head and saw others setting up a bonfire nearby. Susan and Wanda were both wearing swimsuits. They didn't know what they were talking about. They were giggling. Their golden and red hair was blown up by the sea breeze at night.
More dazzling than fire.
He wanted to stand up, but found that his legs were a little numb. At this time, Pepper, who was holding little Morgan, came over. Morgan seemed to have inherited Stark's IQ and was smarter than other children. He saw that his father was suffering from numbness in his legs.
He stopped in a funny posture, laughing until he was out of breath.
Stark suddenly laughed too. He hammered his legs hard, stood up staggeringly, took over his white and fat little daughter, and looked at her shining eyes reflecting the light of the bonfire.
He had always believed that seeing is believing, and suddenly he felt that he had seen with his own eyes the light at the birth of the universe.
"...Yes, madam, just draw any pattern. It's best to close your eyes and follow your heart..."
Schiller is face to face with Susan. This is an indispensable part of the gathering of the Avengers or the League of Light. Schiller shows off his "mind-reading ability".
Susan seemed a little nervous, but she still closed her eyes and drew random patterns on the sand with her fingers. After she opened her eyes, she covered her mouth in surprise and said, "Oh my god, my drawing is a mess. This
Is it really possible? Doctor."
"No problem, ma'am, let me see... God, you've been hesitating a lot lately. Are you thinking about the balance between career and family? Isn't it a little early?"
Susan was even more shocked. She looked at Schiller with wide eyes and disbelief. Unexpectedly, Schiller hesitated for a moment and then said: "But if you think about your partner again, it's normal to think about these things, but your partner makes you hesitate."
What is it? Of course not something as simple as money, looks, or common topics.”
"...It's not surprising that you want to have a child. Maybe it's because of your sense of responsibility for the family. You want your future partner to have a full sense of responsibility for future generations..."
Susan was in a playful mood at first, but now she was staring at Schiller with concern and said: "Yes, doctor, of course I would think so. I think everyone who is thinking about establishing an intimate relationship will think of this."
.”
"No, you attach great importance to this. If your partner cannot show a sense of responsibility, you will never accept him."
Reid, who was sitting next to him, clenched his fists instantly.
I have to be hungry when I write about food, otherwise it won’t be attractive enough, so after I finished writing, I immediately ran to eat without talking.
