Chapter 18 The future daughter-in-law's family
Under the threat of my grandfather, Wang Lei stayed in the car and arrived in Boston's Chinatown.
When you come to the entrance of Boston Chinatown, the first thing you see is the familiar Chinese-style archway with double eaves and painted colors. The front is written with the four big words "The world is for the public" and the opposite is written with "propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame". It shows that although the Chinese in Boston Chinatown are far away, they have always adhered to the Chinese cultural traditions in their hearts.
The taxi drove into Chinatown and soon arrived at the building door with the sign "Cuiyuan Restaurant".
There were a few Chinese waiting in front of the restaurant. The leading man in the middle was an old man with white hair and beards, who looked about the same age as Grandpa Wang Lei. Next to the old man was a middle-aged man and a young girl.
Wang Lei, who had gotten off the taxi, looked at the young girl at first sight.
I thought to myself, this is my future wife who was married to me. She looks so beautiful and has a great figure. Her quiet and peaceful temperament is like a traditional beauty that came out of Qiong Yao's novels.
It’s great to have such a beauty to be a wife for herself!
OK, grandpa, I forgive you!
But it is a bit strange. Why does this "daughter-in-law" look older than her? She should be at least eighteen or nineteen years old? Didn't she say she was born three days later than herself? Is she precocious?
"Senior Brother!"
"Junior brother!"
First, the grandfather and the old man greeted each other with excitement, and then the old man blamed him: "Senior brother, why don't you call me earlier if you want to come here? I can go to the airport to pick you up!"
Grandpa Wang Lei waved his hand and said, "You are so old, why should you pick it up? Besides, I don't know the way!"
"What age is that I'm so old that I can't walk!" The old man looked dissatisfied.
"Junior brother, you are still so strong, but we have grown up even our grandchildren, so we can't accept our old age!" Grandpa laughed and shouted at Wang Lei, who was still staying next to the taxi, staring at the "wife", and said, "Boy, what are you standing there? Why don't you get out and call someone? Where are you polite?"
Damn, grandpa, can’t you give me some face in front of your future wife?
Wang Lei thought in his heart, but he came over honestly, bowed to the old man and said, "Hello, Grandpa Zhou!"
"Okay, senior brother, this is Lei Wazi. She is already so old. She was wet on the bed last time when I saw him. Isn't pee anymore?"
Grandpa Zhou responded with a smile, but what he said almost made Wang Lei collapse. The quiet and calm "daughter-in-law" in this article was also amused and laughed "puffed" with a "puff" sound.
Wang Lei's face turned a little dark.
But, you are really my grandfather’s junior brother, why do you embarrass me when you meet?
Wang Lei felt unpleasant, but no one took him seriously. The middle-aged man and woman around Grandpa Zhou and his future "daughter-in-law" greeted his grandpa one after another.
After my grandfather responded one by one with a smile, Wang Lei realized that he had made another joke.
That middle-aged man and woman is Grandpa Zhou Xianhe and daughter-in-law Sun Yuting, right, but the young girl is not his "future daughter-in-law", but his "future daughter-in-law" sister, Zhou Yuqiang, his future "sister-in-law".
His "future wife" Zhou Yuwei is still in school and has not finished school!
No wonder she saw that her eyes were completely different. It turned out to be "sister-in-law"!
Zhou's generals Wang Lei and others welcomed them into the restaurant and asked the kitchen to serve food directly.
Opening a restaurant has this advantage. If guests come, you don’t have to wait and you can serve the table directly.
Sadler, Cruz and Chekov naturally followed in.
Although the people from the Zhou family were a little surprised when they saw these three foreigners, they still asked them to attend the banquet with politeness.
Fortunately, Sadler and the other two lived near Chinatown in San Francisco for many years. They had long been familiar with the custom of Chinese people to invite guests to the table, but no one made a joke. Moreover, Sadler has a good alcohol tolerance and is used to drinking Chinese liquor. He can chat with Grandpa Wang Lei and Grandpa Zhou.
As for Cruise and Chekov, although they also wanted to try Chinese liquor, they were unfortunately not yet old enough to drink, so they could only drink drinks with Wang Lei.
In China, no one cares about drinking for minors, but the United States announced a "People's Youngest Age Drinking Act" in 1984, prohibiting teenagers under the age of 21 from drinking.
"Cuiyuan Restaurant" is a hotel and must abide by this law, otherwise the license may be revoked.
So even though Grandpa Wang Lei and Grandpa Zhou both disagreed with this rule, for example, when Wang Lei was a child, he secretly drank wine, but his grandfather didn't care about him when he saw it. But in front of Sadler, the foreigner, it was not easy for Chekov and Cruise to drink.
Wang Lei's seat was between Zhou Yuqiang and Cruise, and opposite him were Zhou Yuqiang's parents. The future "father-in-law and mother-in-law" was toasting and chatting with the neighbor Ouyang Ming, while constantly looking at Wang Lei with his eyes.
Wang Lei felt uncomfortable all over, but Cruz on the left acted as if he had never eaten Chinese food in his eight lives. He was eating with his head covered and didn't talk to him at all. In desperation, Wang Lei had to chat with Zhou Yuqiang on the right.
"Sister Yu Qiang, when will your sister get out of school?"
Zhou Yuqiang smiled and replied, "It's about half an hour left. Xiaowei has always been late for school!"
"Oh, then isn't it good for us to have dinner so early?"
"You can't let the two old men wait for her, right?"
"That's right, what grade she's in this year?"
“Twelfth Grade.”
Actually, I'm a first grade older than me?
Wang Lei was a little surprised and asked again: "Where are you, Sister Yu Qiang?"
Zhou Yuqiang smiled and said, "I'm already in college!"
"Really, which university?"
"Harvard, not far from home, I can come back at any time."
"Wow, Harvard University, Sister Yu Qiang, you are a top student!"
"What's the meaning?"
"It means that you are very good at studying and can dominate your grades!"
"Oh, thank you, I'm just lucky!"
"Sister Yu Qiang, what department are you studying?"
“Law School.”
"Oh, Sister Yu Qiang, do you want to be a lawyer?"
"I don't want to, but my parents ask, I can't refuse to follow."
"Sister Yu Qiang, what did you originally want to do?"
"It's nothing to tell you, but don't say it out." Zhou Yuqiang said in a low voice: "I originally wanted to go to the Film Academy of Southern California and go to Hollywood to be an actor after graduation, but my grandfather firmly opposed it and believed that actors are cheap careers, so I can only go to Harvard to study law!"
"Uh, what a coincidence!" Wang Lei was stunned for a while before saying, "Sister Yu Qiang, I'm going to tell you that I plan to study at the Film Academy of Southern California, but I want to learn to be a screenwriter and director, not acting, so neither my grandfather nor my parents objected."
"Is that so? Didn't your grandfather just now say you are here to box?" Zhou Yuqiang asked strangely.
"That's right, but boxing is just my stepping stone to enter Hollywood!" Wang Lei said seriously: "I find that racism in the United States is very serious, especially in Hollywood. It is difficult for Chinese people to make a name for themselves in Hollywood. Only one Bruce Lee has been involved in Hollywood for so many years, and the road is also very rough. If you and me are famous, they will only gain the rewards of rolling their eyes and blows. That's why I decided to box first. As long as I become the world boxing champion in the future and have a super high reputation, it will be much easier to enter Hollywood!"
"World boxing champion, do you have confidence?" Zhou Yuqiang asked in surprise.
"It's not just me that I have confidence, my grandfather and my coach are very confident in me. If you don't believe me, go and ask them!"
After a pause, Wang Lei said again: "Sister Yu Qiang, I think you have a very celebrity temperament. If you have a good script and an excellent director, you will definitely become famous when you make a movie. Why not do this? I will write a script to let you be the heroine. As long as the movie is shot, it will definitely become popular after it is released. If you don't have to speak, Hollywood may invite you to join!"
"Well, you can write scripts?" Zhou Yuqiang was surprised again.
"Of course, I didn't say it just now. I've written several scripts, but I didn't bring them all in San Francisco. Otherwise, I'll definitely enjoy it for you first!"
Wang Lei is worthy of his big words. In fact, the so-called scripts are just simple summary of content, and some even have only one movie name. Wang Lei did this because he was afraid that he would forget the wonderful movies he had seen in his previous life over time, so he simply wrote down some movie names and contents he had seen in his previous life, and planned to write them slowly into the script when he had time in the future.
Zhou Yuqiang didn't know the truth and mistakenly thought that Wang Lei had really written many scripts, so he couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
"By the way, Sister Yu Qiang, what type of movie do you like to watch?" Wang Lei asked again.
"I'm afraid you won't believe it. I like watching horror movies. Not only me, but Xiaowei also likes it. Three years ago, I secretly took Xiaowei to the cinema to watch a low-cost horror movie called "Ghost Player". Although Xiaowei was so scared, she became obsessed with horror movies because of it. I often asked me to take her to watch it! By the way, have you ever watched "Ghost Player"?"
"I've seen it, directed by Sam Remy. I heard that the sequel is about to be released. I guess I'll see it next year or the year after!"
Wang Lei was a little speechless. He didn't expect that his sister-in-law would like to watch horror movies and also influenced his future wife. He is really not good at appearance!
Zhou Yuqiang asked again: "Is the script you wrote terrifying?"
"Of course there is, it is guaranteed to be more terrifying than "Ghost Player", and it takes the lead with the heroine. If Sister Yu Qiang plays the heroine, it will be popular!"
"Is that true, what's the name of this movie?"
"Midnight Bell!" Wang Lei's eyes showed a strange smile.
His notepad does include "Midnight Bell". In my memory, this most classic horror film in Japan was filmed in 1998. It was also remade in Hollywood, and it has won a good box office and reputation.
The key is that the original novel of "Midnight Bell" seems to have been written in the 1990s. Wang Lei can't remember that it was written in the 1990s, so he planned to write the complete script and shoot the movie before 1990s, so he would not "collide".
Zhou Yuqiang has excellent looks and temperament, and she looks a bit similar to the Japanese heroine Naoko Matsushima in the movie "Midnight Bell". If her acting skills are acceptable, it would be better for her to play the heroine of "Midnight Bell". As long as she is not worse than the American remake in her previous life, she can't even be popular.
Zhou Yuqiang was indeed a little interested and couldn't help asking about the content of "Midnight Bell".
Wang Lei then briefly explained the content of "Midnight Bell" to Zhou Yuqiang.
They bit their ears and talked in a low voice, but they didn't notice that Zhou Yuqiang's mother Sun Yuting, who was sitting opposite and staring at them, had a little ugly face.
After frowning and staring at the eldest daughter and Wang Lei for a long time, Sun Yuting finally couldn't stand it. She lowered her voice and said to her husband sitting next to her: "Xianhe, look at Yu Qiang and Wang Lei, isn't it good for them to do this?"
"What's wrong with them?" Zhou Xianhe, who had been chatting with Ouyang Ming, couldn't react.
"What's wrong? Didn't you notice that Wang Lei is seducing Yu Qiang? Did you say Uncle Wang didn't tell him that Yu Wei was the one who had a baby kiss with him, making him think that Yu Qiang was his future wife? Or was this kid not a good thing, and he still wanted to attack Yu Qiang after he had Yu Wei?" Sun Yuting said a little "gripping her teeth".
"Uh, are you thinking too much?" Zhou Xianhe was a little amused.
Sun Yuting said angrily: "Why am I thinking too much? Didn't you see Yu Qiang talking and laughing with that boy? I see you go to call Yu Wei's school and urge the girl to come back soon, otherwise her future husband will cheat!"
