American Life

Chapter 137 Abraham Rossi
"Help me, I don't know what to say?"

While chatting with his adoptive father, Marco Rossi, Charlie receives a message.

The sender was none other than Taylor.

As soon as Charlie looked up, he could see that she was surrounded by three middle-aged women, who were looking at him for help.

"Just say whatever you have to say and relax. After all, we are all old Mark's beloved."

On the surface, this system was publicly abolished by the LDS in 1890, but in fact it has been retained. Charlie even knew that a few years later, this system was actually transferred to a "legal" status, and only a small payment was required. The fine is no different from illegal parking.

This is the fact. On the surface, the United States has a bright and beautiful side, claiming to be a lighthouse and standing at the top of the earth's civilization. However, on the inside, it is an extremely conservative country that can even be called feudal. The list goes on and on.

That night, Mark's family entertained Charlie warmly. Before dinner, Mark and the three ladies held hands and Mark led the chant.

"Dear GOD, thank you for providing us with this delicious meal. Thank you for your grace and love, we are grateful. Please bless this food so that our bodies can be nourished. May we grow closer through this sharing Be at peace with each other. In the name of the Lord, Amen.”

This part of Charlie is often seen in American TV series. Looking back at the history of lds, it is actually just a branch, and each other's gods are the same.

There is no difference before on the table. The main course is grilled chicken legs and grilled steak, and the side dishes are grilled vegetables. It is very simple to chop onions, carrots, broccoli and mix them, apply olive oil, add salt, black pepper, and thyme. and garlic.Desserts were cinnamon rolls and apple pie.

It can be seen that although there are many people in Old Mark's family, there is no progress in terms of food.

After dinner, Lisa and Emily, among the three women, left and returned to their respective residences next door. In fact, the three surrounding houses were all owned by Mark. They would live in this one today and the other one tomorrow.

But Mark didn't have such a good nature tonight, and started asking Charlie about the specific arrangements for tomorrow.

"Do you think my outfit is suitable?" Mark stood in front of Charlie, showing off his clothes, looking very nervous.

"You have to know, I have been waiting for this day for 20 years." Old Mark said.

Not only Charlie, this time Mark also benefited from his adopted son and was able to attend family gatherings.

Charlie stroked his forehead and said a little helplessly: "Actually, there will be a lot of people by then, so there is no need to care about these small details."

A family that has flourished for six generations, the number of the family is very large, plus there are people like Mark, adding up to a hundred people, this is still the simplified number, plus there are people who came to congratulate Ladies and gentlemen, the scene at that time can be called very chaotic.

The reason for this gathering is actually the pastor’s 60th birthday.

Even though Charlie said this, Mark still nagged him tirelessly. In the end, Taylor came over and gave his own suggestions before helping Charlie out and sending Mark away.

"Although this set of pajamas looks like it was designed for an 80-year-old grandma, it is quite comfortable to wear." Taylor sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed.

"It's time for me to go to bed, Taylor, I'm sure I'll be busy tomorrow."

"But Sarah Jenkins didn't offer to prepare an extra room. Let me first say that you are not allowed to touch me tonight. I will keep it until the wedding." Taylor added, pointing at Charlie, as if he was admonishing.

"Okay, turn off the lights and go to bed." Charlie nodded without any further struggle.

"You promised me." Taylor confirmed again and again before turning off the light, then slowly opened the quilt and got in.

Charlie was facing the wall at the moment, with his back to Taylor, and then he felt Taylor approaching slowly and hugging him from behind.

"Why don't you turn around?" Taylor pulled Charlie.

Charlie did as he was told, like a wild beast, and Taylor soon discovered that the situation seemed to be out of his control.

So an episode happened that went much faster than expected...

Early the next morning, Taylor was the first to wake up. He was as docile as a kitten. With his somewhat youthful appearance, Charlie showed him enough compassion.

The same car as yesterday, this time also picked up Mark Rossi and Sarah Jenkins.

"You are so beautiful, girl. Charlie will have a wonderful family."

In the car, Sarah kept praising Taylor.

Today's Taylor is indeed very beautiful, so beautiful that she can amaze everyone. She is like a real classical princess. Although her appearance is not as luxurious as the last time she appeared at the fashion show, Charlie feels that she is even more attractive.

After careful observation, Charlie realized that it was because of his eyes. In the past, Taylor's eyes were more clear, but now... there is more of himself in his eyes, and there is also a little more charm.

This may be the benefit of "growth".

The vehicle entered the center of Salt Lake City, and then moved away from the city center, heading in the completely opposite direction to where it came from. This is the side of Salt Lake City close to the mountains. There are more vegetation on the streets, and it is also the highest terrain around Salt Lake City. It is worthy of its name. wealthy area.

At the end of a secluded and clean sloping road, there is a manor standing on the mountainside.

There were more than a dozen waiters standing at the door alone. They opened the car door naturally and greeted Charlie and Mark respectively, without taking them directly inside.Instead, he first warned Charlie about the etiquette related to the party and checked the attire of several people. Then a man dressed as a butler stepped forward to receive the gifts that Charlie and Mark had prepared in advance.

The interior of the manor has been decorated. Following the waiter, Charlie saw many valuable collections.

Louis Tiffany's stained glass artworks, Cezanne's paintings, and the most valuable ones are several manuscripts of the Divine Comedy by Italian Renaissance poet Dante. They are displayed in the glass counter like works of art, which attracted Taylor's repeated admiration.

Obviously, these should usually be placed in the safe room.

"Even the exhibits in Utah's state museum are not as good as here." Taylor held Charlie's hand a little tighter.

"Actually, many museums in Utah are donated by the Rossi family." Charlie said bluntly.

Along the way, I also saw many valuable cultural relics. The most ancient one is a spear used by the indigenous people of the American continent.

Finally, the two of them arrived at the banquet hall, pushed open the heavy door, and saw many guests.

“It’s Taylor Swift!”

People nearby immediately noticed Taylor, who was wearing a gorgeous evening gown. Several people walked in quickly and chatted enthusiastically with him.

Instead, Charlie was forgotten.

"Our big star is here." A loud voice came.

Charlie turned his head and saw the "priest" himself in the distance, Abraham Carlos Rossi.
