When they got back to the restaurant, it was already six o’clock in the evening. Jason, the black boy, sat obediently on a chair to the right of the gate, not daring to move. Seeing him staring at Sol, who was lying on the ground lazily, with frightened eyes, one had to imagine that this kid has suffered a lot. Didn’t he see JJ was not looking at him anymore?
A few gangster youths who were dressed to the point that it made people want to bury them in the ground, looked around the street. When they saw Alvin driving back, they wanted to cross the road to talk to Alvin. But before they stepped on the road, they were frightened back by Dom’s cruel eyes when he stood up. Alvin ignored them. This was just a group of gangsters and he had more important things to do.
‘My girl is hungry, I have to feed my girl first, and then I can to chat with these little bastards.’
Holding Ginny in one hand, followed by Jessica, Alvin pushed the door to the restaurant open. All the lights in the restaurant were turned on, and acquaintances from the nearby neighborhood came, brightly lit as if they were having a celebration. When Alvin came in with Ginny in his arms, “Bang, bang, bang” exploded several times, and countless colored ribbons fell from the ceiling.
All the people, led by old Kent, shouted loudly together: “We welcome our princess, the princess of Hell’s Kitchen!”
Ginny was a little afraid of strangers, and buried her head between Alvin’s neck, not daring to look at so many people. Alvin laughed and shouted: “Thank you for coming over today, to celebrate me having a daughter, all beers are free today!” Then he turned to Jessica and shouted: “There is no steak today, girl, play the music and let everyone be happy.”
Excited, Jessica laughed, rushed to an antique jukebox, and turned on the jukebox that Alvin usually did not let her use. Many of the album covers in the jukebox were not clearly visible. Jessica casually picked one and put it on.
Alvin liked old objects, and this record player was part of his collection. What was precious was not the machine, but the records inside, many of which were out of print. Jessica picked one at random and it was a classic.
The magnetic voice of Spaniard Julio Iglesias came from the record player.
Hey!
It’s wonderful to see you once again
To see your smile and hear you call my name
There is so much to say
Hey!
It isn’t accidental that we met
Your love is something that I can’t forget
So I wander your way
……………………
Although the song didn’t match the atmosphere of the scene, whatever, it was really nice to listen to.
Alvin walked into the bar with Ginny in his arms, let Ginny sit on the bar, and poured her a glass of lemonade.
Nick, the naughty rascal, jumped on one foot to find Alvin, grinned with his big mouth with two missing front teeth, and shouted: “Alvin, the attic will belong to me from today, right?”
Alvin rubbed his black curly hair with a smile and said with a smile: “Yes, Mr. Castle, the whole attic belongs to you now. Come and meet our new member, my daughter, Ginny Ye. .” Then he looked at Ginny and said, “Ginny, get to know my good friend, Nick Castle, this is a real tough guy, you should call him big brother or Nick.”
The two little guys looked at each other for a while, and Ginny was especially curious about why Nick only had one leg.
The outgoing Nick happily said to Ginny, “You are my sister, wow~ I have a sister now! Ginny, you are so beautiful, you are prettier than the girls in our class.”
Ginny covered her face a little shyly, spread her fingers with wide gaps, and looked at Nick, who was standing on one leg and kept playing jokes to make her happy. Curiously she asked: “Nick, legs, different?” This simple girl thought that all people who were different from everyone were her own kind.
Nick laughed proudly, and said, “Alvin said that a hero in China cut off an arm in order to practice his peerless swordsmanship and became the number one master in the world, nicknamed “Heaven Destroyer”. I lost a leg, when I grow up, I will practice peerless martial arts, and strive to become the second in the world and my nickname will be “Earth Reducer”. Hahaha, then I will beat up all the people who have bullied me and let them know how great “Earth Reducer” is.”
Ginny looked at this one-legged future second under the heavens with admiration and said, “Nick, amazing.”
It was the first time that Nick was praised so honestly, and he said a little embarrassedly: “I am not that great now, but I will be in the future.”
Alvin saw that the two children got along well and were very happy, but as a Chinese parent in his previous life, he asked disappointedly: “Second best in the world, Mr. Castle, have you finished your homework? “
Whether the homework was done or not, was always a problem for the brat. Nick put his head in his hands and complained bitterly, “Alvin, why didn’t you fire our math teacher? The homework she assigns every day is too much and too difficult. I don’t think I can finish it by tomorrow.”
Alvin looked at his watch, tapped the watch face, and said, “It’s six o’clock, go have fun, eat some pizza, go upstairs to do your homework at 7:30, if you can finish it by 9 o’clock, I guess you can still come down and watch the fun.”
Nick was excited, punched a few times in the air, and shouted: “Wow, Alvin, are you going to teach those idiots outside a lesson? Will you beat them up hard? Woo, I have to write my homework quickly.” He shouted to Jessica, who was being dragged around and chatted with several women: “Jessie, I’m going to do my homework. Can you help me send a few slices of pizza upstairs? I’m in a hurry.”
Jessica was chatting lively and waved impatiently that she knew. Nick jumped upstairs and told Alvin before leaving, “Wait until I finish my homework before you teach them a lesson, be sure to wait for me!”
Ginny watched Nick, who was about her age, leave, and looked at Alvin with a bit of disappointment.
Alvin swiped her little nose with a smile, and said with a smile: “Look at my little princess, what would you like to eat? I’ll make you a pasta that I’m good at, with my special meat sauce, okay?”
Ginny nodded in anticipation, put her hands on her cheeks, and said a little embarrassedly, “Ginny, eat a lot.”
Alvin put his head against Ginny’s forehead, touched hwer nose affectionately, and said with a smile, “Alvin, cook a lot, and Ginny can eat a lot.”
When Ginny devoured the three servings of spaghetti bolognese, Alvin was a little surprised, and lightly tapped Ginny’s slightly bulging belly with his fingers. Ginny’s ticklishly smiled with a “hehe” sound and waved off Alvin’s hands.
Alvin looked at Ginny with a smile, and said, “Ginny is the best. She can eat a lot. Dad is not as good as Ginny. But you can’t eat too much, or your stomach will feel uncomfortable.”
Ginny covered her stomach with both hands, hahad proudly, and said, “Ginny eats, she won’t be hungry for three days, Ginny is amazing. Dad, delicious!”
Alvin felt as if his nose had been smashed by a hammer, and the strong sourness made this self-proclaimed tough guy’s eyes fill with tears.
What the hell kind of life is this, eating one meal for three days at a time! This daddy’s fat son in his previous life had to eat six meals a day and was a picky eater.
He desperately held back his tears, and there was a bitter taste in his mouth.
“Ginny, won’t be hungry in the future. Dad has a lot of delicious food. If you eat too much, your stomach will be broken.” Alvin rubbed Ginny’s head, “Tomorrow, Dad will cook sweet and sour pork ribs and beef stew with tomatoes. Ginny eats, Ginny keeps space in her stomach, and eats better tomorrow.”
Ginny opened her eyes wide, looked at Alvin expectantly, and opened her hands, “Dad, hug. Ginny, like it, Dad.”
