Chapter 3078: Romantic

The process of leaving the Stone House for the beach was another mess. The car driven this time was a pickup truck, which could just sit people and carry goods, but because there were a lot of people, it had to be divided into two trips.

Then there was a chaotic scene where someone forgot to take something and went upstairs to get it, so the next group left first, but the people who went over found that they had forgotten to take something, followed the car that came to pick up the next group and came back to get it, and after arriving there, they found they forgot things but were too lazy to come back to get them, using the phone to command others to help them get them, leading to these people being in a panic and also forgetting to take things.

Actually, the memory of superheroes is not that bad. If Wei En and Nick were kicked out, it shouldn't be so chaotic.

Wei En had to prepare a lot of things. Almost all the food was managed by him, which led to forgetting sauces sometimes and forgetting ice cubes sometimes.

Nick claimed to be the director of S. H. I. E. L. D. and felt that he had some management talent. Even though he had already arrived at the beach first, he felt that this and that were missing, and he had to call back to remotely command others to get things. One moment he wanted to get a fishing rod, and the next moment he wanted to prepare soft slippers.

The general commander on the house side was clearly Pepper. Stark held little Morgan and didn't coax her well, but had to tease her, making her cry. Pepper coaxed the child while commanding to get things. The instructions were basically covered by the child's crying, and both sides inside and outside the house couldn't hear what the other side was saying.

Peter and Gwen, these two simple young people, did whatever others said. Whoever needed help, they both came, but they were commanded by Nick into a mess, leading to everyone being in chaos.

Half an hour of chaos passed, and half of the people were still staying at the Stone House. Wei En saw that the porridge he boiled was about to get cold and really couldn't bear it anymore.

"Loki! Open a portal!"

Loki opened a portal. She thought Wei En was going to move things into it, but he rushed in, lifted Nick back, and sent Stark and Pepper over.

After Nick came back, he could finally get the things he thought were useful himself, and the beach side was not so busy, and Pepper could focus on coaxing the child.

Under Wei En's command, the things were finally packed up. The pickup truck carried people directly through the portal and sent people and things safely to the beach.

Learning from the lessons of departure, Wei En divided them into several groups and started preparing barbecue.

Reed, Susan, Peter, and Gwen, these two couples without children, were responsible for stringing the barbecue skewers. Stark, Pepper, Steve, and Carter were responsible for preparing drinks. Helen took the two mice to set up the grill. Matt and Elektra prepared raw food. Wei En and Eddie set up the charcoal. Jarvis and Wanda were responsible for bringing all the children.

As for Nick, he insisted that the tide was good today and he could catch big goods, so he took the fishing rod and went fishing.

After the division of labor, the efficiency was much higher. In less than half an hour, the barbecue was ready. When everyone started to eat, it was sunset.

Today's sunset was a bit different. A large amount of clouds accumulated on the horizon, and the sky full of sunset glow ignited the clouds, burning like a gorgeous and unknown dream of youth.

The burning charcoal was blown up by the sea breeze with glowing sparks, accompanied by the sun falling bit by bit, as if it were the ribbons falling when the stage where no one stopped was curtained. Even the jazz music with California style drifting from afar could not help but be stained with sadness.

Steve used the wood of the palm tree trunk and fishing line to make the simplest three-stringed instrument and sang a classic American folk song, "Sutter's Mill."

This song sings about the story of old John searching for treasure in the West. John killed, dueled, and bled all the way, but in the end, it was all for nothing. Before God, the achievements he made were worthless. He was born with nothing, and died the same.

This song reminds people of the gold rush that once set off in California. The gold diggers also rushed to the beach in such a sunset, their eyes full of fanaticism for wealth and longing for a beautiful life after getting gold.

In order to be able to pick up their own piece of gold, the gold diggers began to attack each other constantly, spilling blood all over this land. Some spent their lives leaving in disappointment, while some stayed on this land forever.

To this day, there are still countless immigrants as fanatical as gold diggers facing the hot sun of California, sweating all over, living in dirty and dilapidated motels like a century ago, counting the living expenses of today and tomorrow, wanting to fight for their future on the land of this country known as the most advanced in the world.

But if you think about Captain America's past, you will understand that this so-called most advanced country is not also fighting for its future with war.

If the country also goes to heaven when it perishes, how much will this eagle, which is too young, reckless, and hot-blooded, be worth before God?

Steve's singing may have given his answer—"When John Sutter left the world, he was penniless."

The girls sat around on the beach. When Steve finished singing, warm applause sounded around. Carter hugged him and kissed his cheek gently. This was like a show of love, but more like comfort.

He understood what Steve was sad about. If there were no war, he wouldn't have to undergo modification at all, wouldn't have to become Captain America. Although he might have been asleep for a long time, he would be like the Americans of that era, using his own hands to create value that could support his family, enjoy family happiness, and spend his life safely.

Steve smiled at Carter, but didn't say much. Even if someone told him what would happen after he accepted the modification before he accepted it, he would still go. He would even feel surprised, because he didn't die on the operating table, but really became a useful person, and even had his own legend. Like many Americans of that era, he felt sad, nostalgic, but also proud.

If you say who empathizes with Steve the most among the people present, it is probably not Nick who has the same experience as him, but Stark who was born in the new era.

If you say someone is good at empathy and passing fire between hearts, then Stark is like a piece of pine fluff that ignites at a touch. He can turn other people's tiny streams of emotion into a flood pouring down.

Stark's attitude toward this country is very complicated. He calls himself a patriot, but anyone can see that what he loves is not the current United States, but the way he thinks the United States should be in his mind.

Some people hate the United States because they think this country is too bad, but there are also some people who hate the United States because they think this country could have been better.

Humans have been pursuing utopia. A group of people think that the United States had a chance to become a utopia, but they played a good hand 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 stronger than the United States are not as young as the United States. Collecting geniuses from all over the world and eating up the dividends of the era, this country should have been countless times better than it is now, even infinitely close to the utopia that humans pursue.

But unfortunately, even with the promotion of the Glorious Alliance, technology has made great progress, the convenience of life for most people has been greatly improved, welfare has been restored, and losses from various disasters have been reduced to a minimum. The lives of ordinary people have become better, but there are still various thorny problems that cannot be solved, or even cannot be started.

People with thoughts like Stark, rather than saying they hate it, it is better to say they feel sorry for it. How many more opportunities do humans have to concentrate the resources of the era and build the heaven they yearn for?

Humans have existed for more than two million years, but it is only a shallow footprint in the two hundred million years of dinosaur rule on Earth, a tiny snow-mud goose claw in the 4.6 billion years of Earth's existence, and a fleeting moment in the 13.8 billion years of the universe.

Stark's thinking began to diverge gradually. When he came back to his senses, the crowd had dispersed, and it was dark. The white beach reflected the night sky and turned into a deep blue. For a moment, he seemed to have returned to the side of the asphalt road in New York, looking up at the thousands of lights of high-rise buildings.

Stark turned his head and saw others setting up a bonfire nearby. Susan and Wanda were both wearing swimsuits, not knowing what they were talking about, giggling. The golden and red hair was blown up by the sea breeze at night, which was more dazzling than the flames.

He wanted to stand up, but found his legs a bit numb. At this time, Pepper, who was holding little Morgan, came over. Morgan seemed to have inherited Stark's IQ and was precocious compared to other children. Seeing her father's funny posture of stopping because his legs were numb, she laughed out of breath.

Stark suddenly laughed too. He hammered his legs hard, staggered to stand up, took his white and fat little daughter, and looked at her shining eyes reflecting the light of the bonfire. He, who had always believed in seeing is believing, suddenly felt that he saw the light of the moment the universe was born with his own eyes.

"... Yes, Miss, just draw a pattern, it's best to close your eyes and follow your heart..."

Wei En was facing Susan. This is an indispensable part of the Avengers or Glorious Alliance gatherings. Wei En showed his "mind-reading".

Susan looked a bit nervous, but still closed her eyes and drew a pattern on the sand at will. After she opened her eyes, she covered her mouth in surprise and said, "My God, I drew a mess. Is this really okay? Doctor."

"No problem, Miss. Let me see... God, you have a lot of hesitation recently. Are you thinking about the balance between career and family? Is this a bit early?"

Susan was even more shocked. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Wei En in disbelief, but didn't expect Wei En to hesitate for a moment and then say, "But if you are considering a partner, it's normal to think about these things. But what makes you hesitate about a partner? Of course, it's not shallow things like money, appearance, or common topics."

"... You want a child, this is not strange at all, so maybe it's the sense of responsibility for the family. You hope that your future partner can have sufficient sense of responsibility for the offspring..."

Susan had a bit of a playful mood at first, but now she was staring at Wei En with concern and said, "Yes, Doctor, of course I would think so. I think everyone considering establishing an intimate relationship would think of this point."

"No, you attach special importance to this point. If your partner cannot show a sense of responsibility, you will absolutely not be able to accept him."

Reed, who was sitting next to him, clenched his fists instantly. ===== CHAPTER 3079 =====
