Chapter 3089
Chapter 3089
The process of leaving the Stone House and heading to the beach was another hectic one. This time the car was a pickup truck, which could accommodate both passengers and cargo, but because there were a lot of people, it had to be divided into two trips.
Then someone forgot to take something upstairs to get it, so the next group of people went first, but the people who went there found that they had forgotten to take something, so they followed the car that came to take the next group and came back to get it. After arriving there, they found that they had forgotten something but were too lazy to come back to get it, so they used the phone to command others to help them get it, resulting in a chaotic scene where these people were in a hurry and forgot to take things.
In fact, the memory of superheroes is not so bad. If Schiller and Nick were kicked out, it shouldn't be so chaotic.
Schiller had to prepare a lot of things, and he was in charge of almost all the food, which led to him forgetting sauce sometimes and ice cubes sometimes.
Nick claimed to be the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and felt that he had some management skills. He had obviously arrived at the beach first, but he felt that he was missing this and that, and he had to call back to remotely command others to get things, such as taking fishing rods and preparing soft slippers.
Pepper was the chief commander of the house. Stark didn't coax Morgan properly while holding her, but teased her until she cried. Pepper coaxed the child while directing people to get things. The instructions were basically covered by the child's crying, and the two parties inside and outside the house couldn't hear each other clearly.
Peter and Gwen, two simple young people, believed what others said and came whenever they needed help. They were in a mess under Nick's command, which caused everyone to be in chaos.
Half an hour of chaos passed, and half of the people still stayed in the Stone House. Schiller saw that the porridge was about to get cold, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Loki! Open the portal!"
Loki opened a portal. She thought Schiller was going to move things in, but he rushed in, dragged Nick back, and sent Stark and Pepper over.
After Nick came back, he could finally take the things he thought he could use by himself, 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 directly carried people through the portal and sent people and things to the beach safely.
Having learned from the lesson at the start, Schiller divided them into several groups and began to prepare the barbecue.
Reed, Susan and Peter, Gwen, two pairs without children, were responsible for skewering the barbecue, Stark and Pepper, Steve and Carter were responsible for preparing drinks, Helen took two mice to build the grill, Matt and Erica prepared raw food, Schiller and Eddie warmed the carbon, and Jarvis and Wanda were responsible for taking care of all the children.
As for Nick, he insisted that the tide was good today and that he could catch a lot of goods, so he took the 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 it was sunset when everyone started to eat.
Today's sunset was a little different. There were a lot of clouds on the horizon, and the rosy clouds in the sky ignited the clouds, burning like the gorgeous and unknown dream of youth.
The burning charcoal was blown up by the sea breeze, and the debris with fire fell little by little with the sun, like the ribbons falling at the curtain call of a stage without people. Even the jazz music with California style coming from afar was stained with sadness.
Steve made a simple three-stringed guitar with the wood of palm tree trunks and fishing lines, and sang a classic American folk song "Sutter's Mill".
This song sings the story of old John's treasure hunt in the West. John killed people, dueled, and bled along the way, but in the end it was all in vain. In front of God, his achievements were worthless. He had nothing when he was born, and the same is true after death.
This song reminds people of the gold rush that once swept 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 pick up their own piece of gold, the gold diggers began to attack each other constantly, spilling blood all over the land. Some people wasted their lives and left in disappointment, while some people stayed on this land forever.
To this day, there are still countless immigrants who are as enthusiastic as gold diggers, braving the hot sun of California, sweating all over, living in dirty and dilapidated motels like a century ago, counting today's and tomorrow's living expenses, and want to fight for their future in this land that 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 is not fighting for its own future with war.
If the country will go to heaven when it is destroyed, how much will this too young, reckless, and hot-blooded eagle be worth in front of God?
Steve's singing may have given his answer - "When John Sutter left the world, he was penniless."
The girls sat on the beach. When Steve finished singing, there was warm applause. Carter hugged him and kissed his cheek gently. This was like a declaration of love, but more like comfort.
He understood what Steve was sad about. If there was no war, he would not have to accept transformation and become Captain America. Although he might have died long ago, he would have created value to support his family with his own hands, enjoyed family happiness, and spent his life peacefully, just like the Americans of that era.
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 anyone present has the deepest sympathy for Steve, it's probably not Nick, who has the same experience as him, but Stark, who was born in a new era.
If there is someone who is good at empathy and transmitting fire between hearts, then Stark is like a pine velvet that catches fire at a moment's notice. He can turn other people's little emotional stream 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 United States, but what he thinks the United States should be like.
Some people hate the United States because they think the country is so bad, but others hate the United States because they feel 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 it is a pity that even with the promotion of the Radiance Alliance, science and technology have made great progress, the convenience of life of 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 paradise 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 passing moment is fleeting.
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. Next to 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 came over holding little Morgan. 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 has always believed that seeing is believing, and suddenly he felt that he saw the light at the birth of the universe with his own eyes.
"...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 his "mind reading".
Susan looked a little nervous, but she still closed her eyes and used her fingers to draw random patterns on the sand. 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? Certainly 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 take this very seriously. If your partner cannot show 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.
