Bella's journey to Forks was very smooth. The train did not derail, there were no bombs on the train, and she was not smashed into a meat pie by billboards, telephone poles, etc. while eating. There was no short circuit in the wires, no explosion, and a safe journey.
It was on the train that the conversation between father and daughter was a little awkward.
Charlie thought she was too frightened, expressed his understanding, and took very good care of her.
The initial conversation between the two was basically awkward.
"Your hair has grown longer?"
"Oh, yes, I haven't cut it since I last saw you."
"It grows so fast."
And so on.
Bella didn't know what topics her predecessor had talked about with her father, and she was worried about being exposed. She was very silent about past events. Fortunately, the toy car incident and the Flight 180 incident were her personal experiences, so she could talk about them.
In order to resolve the embarrassment, she consciously led the topic to Natasha's mother. Men are all big pigs, and it's definitely right to talk about women with them!
It turns out that even Charlie, who is very introverted, would not refuse this topic.
After listening to Bella talk about how she knocked down the robber with anti-wolf spray and how Natasha's mother knocked down the enemy with an over-the-shoulder throw, the relationship between father and daughter became noticeably warmer.
In addition to dealing with Charlie's various concerns on the road, Bella has also been thinking about saving herself.
She doesn't believe in God, and God will not bless her. The only person she can rely on is herself.
"We're here. Do you still remember? The cafe at the intersection, we used to eat together?" Charlie drove Bella home in a police car.
There are only more than 3,000 people in Forks, a typical place with a large area and a small population.
To be honest, the town is still very beautiful. Looking around, the sight is all green, the moss on the tree trunks is green, the leaves are green, and even the ferns are green. The air is very fresh, a veritable primeval forest.
Charlie himself has a small white house in the town. This is the house he bought when he and Bella's mother got married. This marriage lasted only a little over a year. The style of the house is a bit old-fashioned, with two floors and a lawn in front of the door. Cars can be parked anywhere.
There is no concept of garages in the town.
Bella looked around. Unlike the apartments in Arizona, there are many houses in Forks, but at a glance, you can find that everyone's house style is different, and the color is different. Maybe being different from others' houses is a symbol of freedom and individuality? She didn't really understand
Bella living in the bedroom on the second floor facing the front yard. The modern floor and dark red walls showed that Charlie had made some arrangements in advance. Many graffiti, photos, and star posters of Bella's childhood were hung on the wall.
The pillows, quilts, and table lamps were all new. The room was a little small, with a second-hand computer, and the basic necessities of life were all there.
"This is for you. I don't know if you like it." Seeing that Charlie was about to leave, Bella quickly took out the small gift she had bought at the airport. She was busy talking about a lot of things, and she almost forgot about it.
"Oh, thank you! Very beautiful!" Small gifts can increase feelings. Bella then went to town for dinner, and Charlie agreed very happily.
"Beep beep" the horn sounded outside the house, and Charlie couldn't help laughing: "It's my old friend, come on, let's go down together."
The father and daughter came outside the house.
This pleasant journey made Charlie feel that his daughter had some good changes. He solemnly introduced his friends to his daughter.
"This is Billy Black, my old friend, and this is my daughter Bella. Do you still remember?" The person he introduced was a middle-aged man in a wheelchair.
If you ignore the wheelchair, the middle-aged man's figure can be said to be extremely burly. He has brown skin, a square face, and long hair. He is an Indian with very obvious characteristics.
However, Indian is a discriminatory term now.
According to official requirements, this title cannot be used. They are now collectively referred to as "Native Americans".
Bella respects him very much, even a little too much.
The first rule of Marvel survival is that you must never underestimate anyone in a wheelchair in the Marvel world.
The probability of such a person being a big boss is very high!
People with healthy hands and feet like Bella live on thin ice, but a disabled person can live a comfortable life in a wheelchair without relying on heaven, earth, or the government. This is ability!
She showed a generous and decent smile:
"Uncle Black, hello."
The middle-aged Indian shook hands with her gently, but at the moment of finger contact, his face covered by the cowboy hat still showed a little abnormality that was difficult to detect.
"You are getting more and more beautiful. Charlie has been talking since he knew you were coming." The middle-aged Indian smiled and teased his old friend.
Charlie tilted his head and looked aside, seeming a little embarrassed.
He whispered: "If you keep talking nonsense, I will push you into the mud."
"Then I will break your legs first!" The middle-aged Indian in the wheelchair and Charlie started to play like children.
The two middle-aged men consciously made room for each other, so the young man who had been holding the wheelchair had the opportunity to take two steps forward.
Seeing that the other party was unusually shy, Bella took the initiative to say: "Hi, are you Jacob? I remember you, you are much stronger than when you were a child, I almost can't recognize you."
This is a typical universal opening line in a chat. It is basically not wrong to use it on young men. After all, there are very few people who are willing to be told that you are more feminine than when you were a child.
The young man has the unique appearance of an Indian. At this time, he was extremely embarrassed by Bella's opening remarks, and his dog-licking attitude was undoubtedly revealed.
"You are also more..." He wanted to say compliments such as more beautiful, but when the words came to his lips, he was a little embarrassed to speak.
In the original time and space, the two young people were very embarrassed with each other, so the conversation ended after two sentences, but at this time Bella had some ideas of her own, and she still firmly grasped the initiative of the topic.
"I remember that you liked to study those mechanical equipment when you were a child. Do you still play with them now? Can you modify a motorcycle?" She asked with curiosity.
Hearing the goddess talking to him in such a gentle voice, the young dog Jacob was so excited that he almost jumped into a tree. He didn't have confidence when it came to other things, but modifying motorcycles? This is what he is best at!
"Do you like it too? Do you want to go to my workshop and take a look?" He asked excitedly.
Bella had an obvious hesitation: "Is it appropriate for me to go?"
There is a problem of the Indian reservation here. The former indigenous people, the former masters, are now "protected" by the American people. If Bella enters the reservation without permission and is caught, it will be illegal.
