EP five hundred and twenty-two. Reminiscing about the past

With the personal relationship between Captain America and Howard Stark, it’s really not too much for Tony to call him uncle.

In fact, if Captain America hadn't crashed into the Arctic Ocean with the plane, he would have suddenly disappeared from Howard's life. Based on their friendship and Cap's reputation at the time, Howard might even let him be Tony's godfather.

He almost called me dad, but calling him uncle meant nothing.

To be honest, Shi Xiaolei really wanted to watch the fun and really wanted to see Tony call Captain America uncle.

Well, actually it’s just a fantasy in my mind.

Thinking about it calmly, Shi Xiaolei also knew that Tony couldn't really do that.

After all, he is a man who is proud to the core. Even if he is just a generation lower than others in terms of title, he will not accept any loss other than that in a practical sense.

Besides, these two are Americans, not fellow countrymen living in Chinatown...

You know, Americans don't have the habit of calling those names from childhood to seniority. Here, even uncles and nephews who are related by blood would only call each other uncle when they were young. When they reach adulthood, out of the desire to be recognized and treated fairly as adults, nephews and nieces often change their names and call the elders in the family directly by their first names.

In other words, even if Howard and his wife are still around, Captain America will naturally age and look like he has white hair, and it is unlikely that he will hear the grown-up Tony call him uncle.

What's more, the American team has been frozen for decades, and now it still looks very young. Just looking at his face, he is a bit younger than Tony himself.

"Tsk." Although he had expected it in his heart, Shi Xiaolei was still somewhat disappointed after confirming it with his own eyes.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." He waved his hand casually, putting aside his random thoughts, and put on a smiling expression again: "Tony, is it just you? Where's Pepper, didn't he come with you? By the way, I Didn’t I ask you to help me bring the guys from my shop with me? Where are they? "

"I came directly from Los Angeles." He took the drink from Pinghai and thanked him politely. Stark gave an explanation: "Pepper is leaving from New York. It will take another two hours. Arrive. As for the guys from your store, they are also on the plane and will come with Pepper in a moment. "

"Okay, I thought you forgot about them."

"Pepper is responsible for handling it. I haven't forgotten it. It's not important." Shrugging, Stark turned his attention back to Captain America again: "Captain, have you celebrated the Chinese Spring Festival... uh, New Year? ?”

"Unfortunately, no." Captain America shook his head and glanced at Shi Xiaolei: "In my time, this kind of thing was not popular."

Not only was it unpopular, in the era when Captain America lived, the country of China in the East was still in turmoil and was far less powerful than it is now. As for Chinese Americans living in the United States, they have no status at all and are completely unable to attract the attention and attention of other ethnic groups.

"Haha." Tony didn't think so much: "Then you must stay for two more days. Do you know? The Chinese are so amazing. No matter what ingredients are used, they can make them into extremely delicious dishes. No matter how much you use your imagination, you still can’t imagine it.”

"Especially during the New Year. I don't even know how to describe it... Let's put it this way, compared with the New Year's dinner made by the Chinese, our Thanksgiving dishes are just like the food of primitive people. There is no way to compare it. Compare. Take last year for example..." As he spoke, Stark pointed back at Shi Xiaolei and swallowed unconsciously: "At that time, I went to China with this guy. I spent the Spring Festival there. Oh my God~! The food was so delicious that it felt like a dream every day. Did you know that I gained ten kilograms in just half a month? ”

"Haha, in our place, there is a saying that 'We gain three pounds on festive occasions'." Listening to Stark's words, Shi Xiaolei laughed proudly: "Although it is just a joke, it still explains the problem. "

"You gained ten kilograms in half a month?" Bruce Banner, who had never spoken to him much, was also attracted by Stark's description.

It's no wonder that when you think about it, Bruce Banner has been having a hard time during the two years he was busy escaping. Not to mention a delicious meal as high as the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, even an American meal that was inferior by a lot was an unattainable luxury for him.

On weekdays, he only eats two hamburgers at most. Hearing the delicious food described by Stark, Bruce Banner would be really weird if he wasn't greedy.

"Basically, you will gain some weight." Shi Xiaolei smiled: "But if someone like Tony gains ten kilograms over the course of a year, I can only say... yes, but that is by no means the norm."

"Hey~!" Hearing the complaint in Shi Xiaolei's words, Stark quickly protested.

"Okay, I won't talk anymore." That's what he said, but Shi Xiaolei couldn't help but tease a little more: "Tony, you have to be more careful this year. I'm not saying that you should eat less. The key is that you Remember to exercise. If you eat it again, Pepper will have to complain to me again."

"About exercise..." Captain America interrupted and took over the conversation: "I can give you some advice. Since I woke up, I have spent a lot of time adjusting to my condition. Although I may not be able to reach the level of an athlete professionally, I can give some guidance. Man, there’s nothing wrong with it.”

"Haha, isn't that good?" Shi Xiaolei laughed: "Speaking of which, Captain, have you coached his father before?"

"Howard?" Captain America seemed to have recalled something and smiled: "Of course."

Looking at Captain America, Stark's eyes were filled with suspicion.

"Like you, Howard also likes to pick up girls." Facing Stark's gaze, Captain America shrugged and gave a most reasonable explanation: "In my time, the whole world was at war. When men and women were dating, Men with strong bodies are far more popular than they are now. Although Howard is rich, you should know that not all girls will be moved by money. Sometimes, a good body is more likely to attract the favor of the opposite sex, such as me. My friend, James Buchanan Barnes, perhaps you have heard his name before..."

"I know." Bruce Banner raised his right hand: "Lieutenant Bucky, right? I've seen it in the book."

"Yes, including me, my friends call him Bucky." With nostalgia for Bucky in his eyes, Captain America nodded and looked at Stark again: "In my opinion, he is The popularity of the girls there is definitely not worse than Howard’s.”
