American Entertainment 1982

Tommy and Martin had dinner at Jeff's house. The tablemates included Jeff, his wife and four children, as well as Jessica's younger sister Gina, who was temporarily staying here, and Jeff's family. Two smart friends who also volunteer as janitors, Zach and Alan.

Everyone was full of curiosity about the camera that was shooting at them not far away, and they glanced in the direction of the camera from time to time, and they didn't even dare to speak. The small actions were filmed and then appeared on the TV, becoming the laughing stock of the audience.

Tommy looked at Martin. Martin got up and asked the cameraman to turn off the machine. Then he sat back and told everyone that today's filming was officially over, and the camera had been turned off and would not continue recording. Only then did everyone at the table relax again.

Jeff's wife, Jessica, was helping the four children distribute food, and asked Martin with a smile: "Mr. Hart, after Jeff signed up for the election, he has to be photographed by this kind of machine every day? We people do it Anything can be filmed and shown on TV?"

"Just call me Martin, it depends on what it is, if it is really necessary to be recorded, it will be included, but if it is such a trivial matter as eating, watching TV, going to bed, I don't think it will appear, LaVine Ma'am." Martin put a mouthful of sweet mashed potatoes into his mouth and said to Jessica with a smile.

As soon as he finished the sentence that he thought was appropriate, Martin felt that there seemed to be something wrong, because he felt that many eyes on the dining table suddenly lit up.

Jeff's ten-year-old eldest son was the first to ask excitedly at this moment: "Will I be photographed if I fart in front of the pool in the backyard, Mr. Martin?"

"I don't think this kind of behavior needs to be recorded." Martin finished dryly, and then realized a problem: "Wait a minute, why are you going to fart in the yard?"

"I heard people say that putting some magnesium powder in the buttocks and spraying it towards the swimming pool can blow up a large splash of water." The child described happily, looking at Martin eagerly: "If I can blow up the splash Splash, can everyone in front of the TV see it?"

"What?" Martin's eyes widened. "Your dad signed up for the election. Are you going to use your ass to set off fireworks to celebrate? Are you going to let all the audience in front of the TV enjoy it together?"

Gina is a 20-year-old Caucasian girl who came to Miami from Tallahassee to find a job. She is currently staying at the house of her sister and her husband. At this time, she also looked at Martin with some expectations: "Can I show the dance to the camera? I I was the main player in the cheerleading team in high school, and I hope to find a job related to dance, or I can change into dance clothes and perform for you myself.”

"It's not a job search show on TV, but if you insist on it... I'd love to appreciate it, I'm not one to say no to people... I mean I'm a few months from now, I'm done working on Jeff's campaign, and I'm probably going to be able to... I can help you." Martin saw that Jeff's sister-in-law was even willing to perform dances for him in order to find a job, but he couldn't keep firm in the words of rejection, and his eyes began to glance at Tommy who was eating mashed potatoes next to him.

If Tommy doesn't object, it won't be a problem for Martin to find a job on BT TV for Gina who is willing to dance for him.

Hearing that Martin was willing to help, Jeff's second son also said immediately: "My chest hair was photographed, and Abigail's family sitting in front of the TV will also see it? I have strong chest hair, just wait for half an hour All right, can I show that machine? Of course, I'd like to show you, like Gina, Mr. Martin."

"Son, what did your mother feed you? If you really grow that thing, you shouldn't look at me, but go to the doctor!" Martin looked at the other party with a suspicious expression on his life.

"So... Bob said that the black stray cat he used to feed was shaved, and you did it?" Jessica reached out and patted her second son on the head, and said sternly: "Listen clearly, I Will withhold your pocket money until the cat grows back hair and replace all that money with cat food to make it up."

The second son said confidently: "I asked Abigail's father yesterday if he could marry Abigail to me. I want to take her home. Her father said that when I grow chest hair, I will no longer be a kid." Afterwards, ask him such punchy questions, he doesn't want to go to jail for violently beating children."

In addition to Jeff's two good elder sons and sister-in-law, Jeff's two smart buddies also excitedly told Martin their wonderful ideas so that the audience in front of the TV could see their heroic appearance .

Tommy, who was not disturbed, quickly finished the dinner carefully prepared by Mrs. Jeff, and then left the table first and walked to the living room, leaving Martin alone, somewhat desperately continuing to deal with the amazing Florida family.

After a while, Jeff came over and saw Tommy standing in the living room, looking at an old photo on the wall, and said, "That's a photo my dad sent from Vietnam."

"Your father was also a soldier?" Tommy looked at the man in military uniform in the photo and asked.

"Yes, not long after he was drafted into the army, the Vietnam War broke out, and then he went to Vietnam. The photo was sent in 1965. I was 9 years old at that time. About two months after receiving the photo, my mother received it again. After hearing the news of his death in Vietnam, my mother remarried and moved out of Miami with my stepfather, leaving me in the care of my grandmother, who raised me with the help of the church and neighbors.” Jeff said to Come over, look at the man in the photo with Tommy, and say:

"By the way, Zach said that you and Martin can live at his house during this time, and he is the only one in his house."

"I remember you said that you also served in the military?" Tommy asked, shifting his gaze from the photo to Jeff's face.

Jeff nodded: "Yes, it belongs to the Thirteenth Military Band of the Florida Army National Guard Miramar Station."

"What? You played the trumpet when you were serving?" Tommy froze on the spot and asked a little frantically.

Jeff immediately explained: "No, I'm not a musician. Musicians need to be specially recruited. I serve in the logistics squadron of the Thirteenth Military Band."

"I will contact the Veterans Association in Miami in the next few days. If the other party agrees, when arranging you to visit those old guys in the association, you must remember clearly. Only tell them that you are serving in the US Army. If you are more specific, it is the US Army The Florida National Guard, if it is more detailed, is serving in the logistics squadron of the National Guard Headquarters. In short, don’t talk about your military career helping to move musical instruments in the military band with pride.” Tommy thought for a while, and said to Jay Husband exhorted.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of going to the Veterans Association?" Jeff showed a face of sudden realization: "We can reveal the truth about the shape of the earth to those soldiers who have really made great sacrifices for this country. cheat."
