Chapter 739 The Transformation and Responsibility a Mature Man Should Have! Lin Da Guanren Makes His Decision!
"Whoever you are, get off my darling!" Theron pulled out a Coromby claw knife from somewhere and brandished it at Lin Tian, as if to say, "If this filthy thing doesn't get off, I'll physically drive you away."
Lin Tian ignored him, turned around and opened the trunk of the car, then took out a folding trolley and started putting all sorts of things into it.
Diapers, formula, changing pads, boys' and girls' clothes, small toys, mini basketballs, rocking horses, baby bottles, water bottles, itching powder...
"Is your car's trunk connected to some other dimension?" This time, Theron was truly dumbfounded. This kid was still taking things out? Was it really endless?
Lin Tian busily loaded all the things he had bought into the car, and then strictly refused Theron's idea of continuing to ride a horse, forcibly pulling her to come with him.
Just kidding, she's 7-8 months along, riding a horse?
Even I'm too scared to ride a horse, and you want to ride one?
It's clear that Theron is thoroughly enjoying this unprecedented level of care.
Lin Tian took her hand and led her toward the house.
"Sigh, once you have a wife, you forget your father!" Lin Sen shook his head and sighed, his face full of disappointment, while he held onto the horse's lead tightly, constantly rubbing its mane with his hand: "What a fine breed!"
"This kid, he completely forgot all our instructions! He's definitely going to get taken advantage of by some girl." Lin Jun also looked annoyed at his son's lack of ambition.
Of course, if the old man hadn't been constantly loading, unloading, putting on the safety, aiming, and pretending to pull the trigger with that UTS-15, and had a look on his face that showed he loved it and couldn't wait to go to the shooting range to try it out, then his words would have been quite convincing.
Anyway, those two old men have already fallen for it.
The three members of the same family are all cut from the same cloth.
It's all garbage.
"You're here?" Theron's mother, Gerda, held a small glass of whiskey and looked at Lin Tian with a playful expression. From his boots to his jeans, cowboy hat, and leather vest, he was dressed in a typical Texas cowboy outfit.
This young lady is still so cool.
If Gerda's expression initially carried some hostility, her brows completely relaxed when she saw that Lin Tian was actually pushing a whole stroller full of baby supplies. This little rascal was actually a decent human being after all.
"Gerda, this is a gift for you." After Lin Tian carefully helped Theron sit down, he immediately rummaged through the pile of things and found a big one.
"What is this?" Gerda stood up and took the gift, finding it incredibly heavy, and almost threw it back on the ground.
While asking Lin Tian, she opened the gift box herself.
A gun.
A long-barreled pistol made of wood and silver, covered with intricate carvings, that looks quite exquisite!
"This is a long-barreled pistol handcrafted by John Christopher Peter, a master gunsmith from the early 18th century. It is breech-loading and effectively reduces the gap between the bullet and the barrel, preventing the leakage of gunpowder gas and allowing the bullet to have a more stable trajectory during flight."
"Some say this gun directly changed the entire history of weapons development, representing the most important firearms improvement of the early 18th century. It was entirely handmade by him, and it's estimated that no more than 10 of these guns still exist in the world today!"
Lin Tian had no idea how much of his mother-in-law's introduction he had taken in, because the old lady's eyes were completely drawn to the gun.
Lin Tian was certain: the old lady would like this gift!
"Why did you give her a gun?" Theron pouted, her face full of dissatisfaction. Clearly, the girl didn't like her mother playing with guns.
"Shut up! What business is it of yours how I talk to Lin?" Gerda said disdainfully. "You won't even let me play with guns? Then tell Lin, where did all those guns in my backyard warehouse come from? Did they just grow legs and sneak into my warehouse?"
"I was just telling you to protect yourself." Theron stuck out her tongue in a wronged tone, then rested her head on Lin Tian's shoulder, a rare moment of maternal tenderness, a rare moment of tranquility, relaxation, and gentle, virtuous slowness.
Is this what home feels like?
Bathed in the warm Dallas sunshine of late June, with the occasional soft neighing of cows and sheep nearby, and the faint scent of grass and animal droppings in the air, Lin Tian felt indescribably relaxed and comfortable at that moment.
Then?
"Is this horse Italian? It's so handsome! If it could compete, it would be the king of horses in no time!"
"Where's the firing range? Let's go to the firing range! I want to try this gun! I was fascinated when I saw the prototype a few years ago, but the real thing feels even better! I heard from Xiaotian that they also have RPGs here. I've never used one of those things before, now I'll give it a try!"
Lin Sen and Lin Jun also arrived.
Lin Tian said: This must be the most amazing scene of the first meeting between the parents and elders of both sides that he has ever seen or heard in his life.
When discussing pregnancy and childbirth, what kind of scene would this be after both sets of parents meet?
They played with guns and horses, but never talked about kids or what happened afterward...
Everything has been let go, everything has been forgotten.
Gerda immediately perked up when she saw Lin Jun's gun-wielding posture and movements.
There is a sense of aura between masters!
I recognized him by his eyes; he knows guns!
"Come on! I'll drive you to my armory. I have lots of good stuff there!" Gerda immediately stood up, indicating that there was no better time than now.
"Can I ride the horse? This guy listens to me so well! He's got a natural intelligence!" Lin Sen held onto the horse tightly, unwilling to let go.
But the most amazing one is Lin Jun.
Theoretically speaking, this old man doesn't understand a word of English except for YES, NO, OK, GOOD, etc. But now, when everyone is speaking English, he can seamlessly join in and completely understand what these people mean.
As soon as Gerda got up, he followed her without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, only Lin Tian and Theron remained on the scene.
"I suddenly feel like we're the two least important people here today," Lin Tian said with a smile, putting his arm around Theron. "Do you think he can hear me right now?"
"He must be so happy to have such a wonderful father." After everyone left, Theron's eyes softened even more. "I thought you would be dismissive, that you would be angry."
"But your performance has truly exceeded my expectations."
"Right now, I only feel apprehensive." Lin Tian, unusually relaxed, opened up completely, saying, "I'm afraid I won't be a good father."
"Is there anything in this world that you can't do? I always feel that as long as you're willing, there's nothing you can't do. At least in my heart, you're omnipotent."
The two stopped talking, leaned against each other, and savored the rare moment of peace.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Tian clearly heard a series of crackling and banging sounds coming from afar.
Needless to say, the group arrived at their destination and began to demonstrate their firepower.
"Your horse..."
"Angel isn't afraid; she's used to it."
"Then we..."
"The doctor said this month is okay, but next month and the month after that, it's definitely not going to work." Theron took Lin Tian's hand and led him into her room.
Outside, artillery fire raged.
Inside, the sounds of gunfire lingered cautiously.
……
For the next two months, Lin Tian stayed on a small farm in Dallas that was almost isolated from the world. He spent his days studying how to be a better father. He clumsily practiced how to quickly put on diapers using a model and used a thermometer to measure the temperature of the milk powder.
Lin Tian is trying his best to be a good father.
And Theron is clearly ready to be a good mother.
Well, on one occasion when Hilton came to Dallas for a meeting, Theron suggested that Lin Tian should go and catch up with his good friends, telling him to hurry up and not be bored. This made Lin Tian feel that he couldn't ask for anything more in his life!
Capitalist education and lifestyle do indeed have their merits and aspects worth learning from!
As for what happened afterward, Lin Tian naturally said that he, Lin Da Guanren, was not that kind of person. He only had Lin Da Guanren in his heart, and he only wanted to be a good father and watch the child be born.
Then he drove off to Dallas to catch up with old friends.
After all... it's really hard to refuse such kindness!
On August 20, two months after Lin Tian arrived in Dallas and almost disappeared from everyone's sight, his first child was born after he rejected all commercial activities, gigs, training camps, and all other related work and invitations this summer.
In one of Dallas’s top private hospitals, Lin Tian held his first child in two lifetimes, his hands trembling slightly.
"What should we name our first daughter?" Theron, still somewhat weak, looked at Lin Tian while leaning against the hospital bed.
"She's like an angel, let's name her Angel." Lin Tian gently placed the baby back on the bed and whispered, "My archangel brought me a little angel."
"But she's my darling, let's call her baby." Theron's face was also full of affection.
"Okay." Lin Tian nodded, then suddenly realized something was wrong. Angel Baby?
No no no.
It can be contagious.
This name is so unlucky.
"I'm not good at naming things, you should do it." Lin Tian quickly shook his head, banishing the strange idea from his mind, indicating that everything was up to him, darling.
"You have a girlfriend named Angel Baby?" Theron looked at Lin Tian warily. "Also, tell me exactly how many good friends you have, right? Did you forget anything?"
"This isn't just our first child, it's your first child too, right?"
"Are you sure you don't have any other children for the time being?"
"If you have children, tell me. If you have more children in the future, tell me too. But if you don't tell me, I will be very angry!"
"Let me tell you, my limit is that I don't care about what happened before, and I won't let you cut ties with them—that's impossible. But I won't allow any new people to appear!"
"And one last thing, if you're considering marriage, if you, this bastard, still want to be a human being, I gave you your first child, so you have to prioritize me!"
"Oh, and also, you need to let your group of close friends know that you have a child! Whether you want to tell the public or not is none of my business. If you say so, I'll accept it; if you don't, the child's father will forever remain a mystery!"
"What I'm telling you now has only one meaning."
"If you do any of the things mentioned above, or anything else I haven't mentioned that has disappointed me, I'll take Claire and leave forever, never to see you again! I will never forgive you."
"Is there a problem?"
"I understand, I promise I've told you everything!" Lin Tian said, then scratched his head sheepishly, adding, "Except for things I really can't remember..."
"Go to hell, you bastard!" Theron simply gave Lin Tian the middle finger, too lazy to pay any more attention to him.
"You bullied Cha again?" Lin Jun walked into the ward upon hearing the voice, followed by Gerda. The two of them had played with all sorts of gadgets in Gerda's armory over the past two months.
They tried everything that they could get their hands on that wasn't illegal.
Even Lin Tian was afraid that with the strength and madness of these two, they might have to go to the Middle East together next month to get a feel for real combat.
That's terrifying.
As for Lin Sen, he has a lot of business and is very busy in China. He only stayed in Dallas for a week before he had to leave, and he is currently on his way to Dallas.
The good news is that the two families get along well and there are no conflicts between them.
Even though Lin Jun and Gerda don't speak the same language, they communicated without any problems!
The reason for not having any obstacles is not because of any innate telepathy or anything like that.
The two communicated using hand gestures used by soldiers on the battlefield.
Lin Tian was also surprised to learn that this thing was actually used worldwide.
Afterwards, when he learned that Theron had named his granddaughter "Klao Er" (meaning "Second Sister"), the old man didn't protest or say anything crazy like, "She's clearly the eldest daughter, why is she called 'Second Sister'? She should be called 'Eldest Sister' instead."
After thinking for a long time, the old man said he had to give the child a Chinese name.
As for what to call it?
"She descended into our home like a fairy, bringing endless joy and warmth to both of our families."
"She's our darling, I think we could call her... a fairy or a darling again?"
Lin Tian felt something was wrong again after listening to Lin Sen's words.
Fairies? Aren't they the angels of China?
Another angel baby?
How many times do you use the same joke about grandma?
Is this never going to end?
Have you run out of ideas? You keep using the same boring joke.
It's terrible.
"You'd better not get involved in naming her," Lin Tian said directly. "We'll think of a name for her slowly, let's call her Claire for now."
"Second brother, second brother, give me a smile, second brother." Lin Jun didn't refute at all, nor did he offer any opinions.
Instead, he quickly ran to Claire's side and started teasing her.
Although the pronunciation is really a headache...
Lin Tian felt he couldn't stand it anymore.
It's not that I think there's a problem with the accent, it's just that the way Lin Jun is called is unlucky!
Very unlucky!
What do you mean, "second son"?
We're the boss!
If you keep yelling like that, you'll keep yelling and yelling.
What if, damn it, a real boss comes out?
Who is responsible?
Especially considering Theron's unexpected win and the fact that she only told him after so long, and even according to Theron's wishes, she wouldn't have told Lin Tian about it if he hadn't announced his retirement! She was really prepared to have the baby and raise it alone, and then wait until Lin Tian found out in a few years before telling him!
After that incident, Lin Tian felt uncertain.
How can he be so confident?
What if other girls do the same?
What if, in two or three years, Julie or someone else brings a teenage boy to you and says, "This is your child..."
No, just thinking about it makes me shudder!
No! This can't be done!
Lin Tian made up his mind; Lin Tian made his decision!
As a father, as a mature man, and as someone who has embarked on a new chapter and entered a new phase, he will never do this again.
He wants to change!
From today onwards, I will absolutely not believe in any crooked or evil ways!
What's this talk about, like the "safe period"...?
You can't believe these things.
We should honestly adopt the most basic, reliable, and safest methods.
This is the responsibility and commitment that a mature man should have!
What happened next was truly astonishing and unexpected for Lin Tian.
He had done a lot of research beforehand, including how to care for women in postpartum confinement.
But just ten days after Claire gave birth, on September 1st, and only three days after Claire and Theron returned to Gerda's farm, Theron suddenly announced: "My break is over, I need to get ready to film."
What?
Looking at Theron, who was all ready to go and had even prepared a strict diet and fitness plan, saying that she would get back to her peak figure within a month and return to the film crew next month, Lin Tian suddenly felt like a useless person.
He's had a really comfortable offseason.
