"Yes." Joe answered it. He didn’t say much.
Seeing this, Jersey asked curiously, "Don’t you want to know her?"
"What for?" Joe casually took a magazine and read. He didn’t look at Jersey, "I am not the one to get married."
"Now you suddenly have an eighteen-year-old nephew. Won’t you feel strange?"
Joe said, "My big brother’s son Sam Luo is nineteen. My second sister’s son Mike Luo and daughter Hebe Luo are seventeen. If I feel it strange, I have already been."
"It is not the same." Jersey argued. He was even more worried than Joe. "If I suddenly have such a young nephew, I will feel awkward.
Jersey was boring in the hospital. Now Joe came to see him. Definitely he wanted to have conversations with Joe.
Lately in their circle the biggest thing was that Richard Luo would get married soon. Joe was the third son of family Luo. Jersey was thirst to ask him some questions.
He asked with curiosity, "Have you seen this little nephew?"
"I haven’t." Joe replied.
"Will you feel embarrassed when you see him?"
"No, I won’t."
"What if he looks taller? What if he is stronger more handsome and more mature than you? Will you respond if he calls you uncle?"
Joe only showed Jersey his poker face.
While Jersey didn’t see that. He kept saying, "What if he is timid. He would cry if you scare him. You always look cold. You don’ even need to speak. You just stand there and look at him. He will cry. As his uncle, you need to comfort…"
"Shut up." Joe stopped Jersey. He didn’t know why Jersey was so imaginable.
He couldn’t bear that Jersey was so noisy. He couldn’t bear these questions either.
The future nephew had nothing to do with him.
Joe threw the magazine on the sofa and stood up. "You rest here. I will go."
Hearing this, Jersey pretended to cry, "Joe you can’t just meanly leave me. Have you forgot our friendship? Joe you are so..."
Joe tried to control himself not to beat Jersey. He walked out of the room.
Jersey was still there persuading Joe to stay.
Joe came back to the company and worked for an afternoon. At night he hesitated. He didn’t go back to his own flat. He drove back to his father’s house.
Only Richard Luo and his father lived there. His sister got married and he had his own flat.
He parked his car. At the garage he saw his sister’s car. His sister Nancy also came back.
At the moment Joe came in, he heard his brother’s laugh. "Today I have seen Jane’s son. He is more excellent than my boy. He is modest. I also heard that he is good at studying. I got a picture from Jane."
"Brother, because she is about to be your wife. You definitely would think he is great." Nancy said this with some meaning.
Richard didn’t want to explain. He said with a little proud, "When you saw Michael, you will know how great he is. He is much better than your son and daughter."
Hearing this, Nancy was not happy. She kept saying something to stop Richard from talking.
Hearing this, Joe frowned. He walked to them and asked, "Where is father?"
Nancy heard Joe’s voice, she stopped arguing. Richard stoop up from the sofa and said, "Joe you come back. Father went to the garden of family Yue. He has stayed there for several days. I made a call to him. He said that he would come back after a few days. It seems that he has fallen in love with that place."
"Joe you must come to visit father. I am, too. But he is not here now." Nancy also stood up from the sofa and said happily, "Our father was old now. He only loves to grow vegetables or walk with a bird now."
Joe came and the former conversation was ended.
Richard sat on the table. He saw Joe changed his clothes and went downstairs. He said, "It seems that you won’t go back to your flat tonight."
"Yes." Joe answered. He walked to the table, sat down and said, "The day after tomorrow I will go abroad for a week. So I come back home for one night."
Richard was shocked. "Can you come back at weekend?"
Joe didn’t respond. He asked, "What? Do you have anything want to do?"
"Before I get married, I want our family to see Jane and her son. We eat a dinner together."
Joe nodded, "I will come back in time."
"It doesn’t matter. We still have many chances. Work is more important." Richard patted Joe’s shoulder and said.
The age between Joe and Richard was more than twenty. But they always kept a good relationship. Joe was the youngest son in family Luo. Not only his father, his brother Richard also treated him well.
Though Richard only saw Michael for a time. They didn’t talk much. He did have a good impression on Michael. While they were eating, Richard mentioned about Michael again.
Joe didn’t talk much. He wasn’t that mean as his sister. Richard said, and he just heard it. From time to time he would say something.
After dinner, Richard asked Joe, "Do you want to see Michael’s photo?"
Joe didn’t know what he should say. He just nodded.
"Wait a moment. I will take it for you." Richard went upstairs to take the photo.
After a while, Richard came back. He took a picture in his hand and said, "This photo I asked from Jane today. I haven’t found the frames to put in it.
Richard showed Joe the photo. Joe took the photo. He saw a young man cross his legs sitting on the grass and smile with a "Yes" gesture.
The casual smile, the familiar face, Joe looked at the picture. He thought that the world was small.
"Is he sister in law’s son?" Joe asked.
It was the first time that Richard heard his brother called Jane sister in law. He answered happily, "Yes, this is Michael. Just seeing from the photo, you will know that he is a good kid."
