Chapter 48: Invitation (2/2)


    rks body tensed, then softened again and hugged Mike hard.


    Mike bared his teeth and pped rks head, saying, Boy, lighten up, my old back is going to break from your strangtion.


    rk grinned andughed.


    Dad, I need to go on a trip and find answers.


    But not now.


    Well, I know.


    Silence


    Dad, what kind of goodies are you guys stealing here?


    Charles and Eric appeared in the doorway.


    Mikes eyes twitched as he put the floor back in ce and said, Are you guys full? Was the food good?


    Delicious! Especially


    Charles held Erics mouth as he whispered, Dumbass, what did you say?


    Eric blinked, and Charles turned and ran.


    Go ahead, go watch TV with them.


    Mike patted rks head.


    Yeah!


    rk responded and walked away quickly.


    Mike walked out of the basement after restoring it to its original state.


    There was no moon tonight, but there was a bright gxy hanging in the sky.


    Heh, the stars are nice tonight!


    Looking up at the sky, Mike sighed quietly.


    He remembered that there was such a Milky Way on the night the airship rk hadnded.


    Had it been so long already?


    rk is ten years old, I


    After a pause, the corners of Mikes mouth twitched: Damn, Im almost forty? Id like to take after the old popsicle to keep it fresh


    Mike pinched his fingers.


    When Iron Man, the Avengers, these big events appear, he has


    Shit!


    Mike cursed and walked toward home.


    ..


    The life of Mikes family, back to normal.


    Send the children to school, idle in the farm around, nothing to go to the bar to see, although the town bar during the day there is not much people, but asionally still can talk about life with a beautiful girl, collision of passion.


    This is Mikes favourite rhythm of life.


    After looking at the time and declining a girls bed ticket, Mike walked towards the supermarket.


    At this time, its time to go grocery shopping.


    He is a dutiful father, although the girl is very good, but still the childrens meal is important.


    The big deal is to wait for the kids to go to bed at night and thene out!


    The instantaneous movement of the cards is still very good.


    To make the best use of it.


    Buy the food, back to school to pick up the children, listen to the children talk about what happened today, the family happily rushed home.


    After dinner, the young and old sat on the sofa and watched TV.


    Dad, Hope said that his dad wants to invite us to his house for dinner.


    Their house? Mike looked at rk and said, Where?


    In town.


    Although there was a short distance between Hankspany and the town, Hope insisted on staying in town.


    Well  Mike mused, are you sure youre going to his house for dinner?


    Sure!


    Can he cook?


    I think  he will!


    rk was a little unsure.


    When? When?


    Charles asked eagerly as he stuck his head between the two men.


    Saturday night.


    Yoo-hoo!


    Eric let out a cheer.


    Okay, then! You reply to Hope tomorrow.


    Mike made the decision, rushed the kids to bed, and was about to turn off the TV when a news item was inserted on the TV.


    A mutant criminal escaped?


    Scanning the other side of the picture, Mike felt to himself that this kind of thing has little to do with himself as a farmer, and turned off the TV.
