Chapter 2961 Leisure Time (Thirty-one)

A little later, everyone returned to the hot spring cabin. The maintenance worker had already repaired the water valve, and most people went back to sleep before continuing to soak in the hot spring.

The temperature was lower at night, and it was more comfortable to soak in the hot springs, but before the party started, Schiller drove out for a trip and soon brought back someone everyone was familiar with - Peter Parker.

Peter came in and took off his coat, sighed and said, "I just came back from the fighting world. I have to say, some universes are really unlucky. I don't know how they got into such a big trouble."

"Which universe did you go to?" Schiller helped him hang up his coat. Peter went into the locker room to change clothes and said, "I don't know how to put it. Anyway, the Red Skull stole Professor X's brain, a red biochemical crisis broke out in the valley, mutants and the Avengers fought, and the little Hulk caused chaos in the universe..."

Schiller went over the corresponding cartoons in his mind and sighed, "You are too efficient."

Then Schiller thought again, you gave the spider ability to Miles, what should you do after you enter the copy?

"It's not necessary to have superpowers to complete the task, right?" Peter changed into his swimming trunks and was obviously a little cold. He rubbed his arms and jumped into the pool.

Everyone else had taken a bath and were now resting in the house. Only Schiller and Peter were left outside, and the water in the hot spring had just been changed.

"I heard that you don't have superpowers now, doctor, are you really not in danger?" Peter asked, "The several copies I participated in were very dangerous. Even if I could use some magic and had other Spider-Men to help me, I still felt very tired."

Schiller shook his head and said, "Spider-Man always wants to save the world, so he feels very tired. I am different from you."

"That's right." Peter said with a smile.

He entered the hot spring pool and let out a long breath. Schiller brought over a tray with cold beer and fresh fruit on it. He pushed the tray over the water and brought himself a can of cold beer.

"It feels so good to be home." Peter collapsed in the water. Suddenly he remembered something and sat up and said, "Xu Shangqi called me and asked if he could join the Spider-Man team. He seemed to have a big conflict with his counterpart..."

"Normal." Schiller seemed to have known about this for a long time. He said, "He is a real Chinese. His counterparts are either Banana Man or traitors. It would be strange if they can get along well with each other. I plan to let him go to the S.H.I.P.D."

"That's good." Peter was relieved again, nodded and said, "Every time he goes to China, he brings us a lot of local specialties. Gwen likes to eat the duck meat he brings."

"Salted Duck?"

"It seems so." Peter thought about the pronunciation, but his Chinese was not very good, so he could only describe the appearance of the duck, and then said: "He gave me a few cigarettes and asked me to give them to Chief George, but Gwen said her father was trying to quit smoking recently, so I should wait until he failed to quit smoking before giving them to him."

"He always fails." Schiller also laughed and said, "He tried to quit smoking in the first half of the year, but failed in the second half. You will have a chance to give him a gift soon."

"Tony is getting married soon," Schiller asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to do it after him so you could learn from him?"

"Don't mention it." Peter frowned and said, "The way he held the wedding is not suitable for us. There are too many people and it will cost too much money. Gwen and I have discussed holding an ordinary wedding in New York and only inviting familiar friends. We can use the remaining money to travel to Australia."

"That's not bad, but even if they are your acquaintances, it's still a huge number."

"Yeah, so Harry is helping me plan this."

"How are he and Mary Jane?"

"They broke up and got back together six times in half a year." Peter was obviously speechless. He said, "They can't separate, but they always quarrel. After the quarrel, they want to break up, but they can't separate..."

Schiller rubbed his forehead and said, "I guess they started quarreling again while helping you plan your wedding."

"Yes, they have very different views on marriage and always clash over the details of the wedding, but that's not the case with Gwen and I. We always hit it off."

"There are two kinds of couples in the world, one is like you and Gwen, and the other is like Harry and Mary. Although it seems that you and Gwen are more in love, Harry and Mary quarrel every day, but they still can't live without each other. It's hard to say that they don't love each other."

"Who says it's not?" Peter sighed and said, "I thought we could hold a wedding with both of them at the same time, but now it seems that they still have a lot of problems to solve between them. I'm afraid it won't be possible in the next few years."

"By the way, how's the baby?" Schiller asked, referring to the baby that was in Gwen's belly and later went to Lisa's place.

"Not bad, they are a happy family of three. In fact, we have been thinking about this issue recently." Peter touched his chin and said, "People are really amazing. We didn't want to have a child before, but recently we think it's good to have a child."

"What changes has Lisa's family brought to you?"

"Not exactly, but the half month we spent on the Texas farm did give us a big shock. Traditional families in the Midwest are different from many families on the East Coast. They are like living in a fairy tale."

Schiller turned and stared at Peter. Peter shook his head gently and said, "Gwen and I have never felt such a big family atmosphere, with humorous and kind grandparents, happy and loving parents, brothers and sisters who support each other and have warm gatherings, and even obedient and capable dogs and cute cats."

"You haven't had any of these?"

"Yes." Peter opened his mouth and paused before saying, "My uncle and aunt were very good to me. They completely replaced the responsibilities of my parents, but they were all city people and had no connection with the previous generation. I didn't have any brothers or sisters. Due to the economic situation, my family couldn't keep pets. In my teenage years, I was always alone."

"Gwen is similar. She was raised by her father, but the sheriff's job is very busy. She has been going to and from school on her own since elementary school and has never participated in any activities that can be called family gatherings."

"After we got together, Sheriff George and my uncle met once and exchanged a few pleasantries, but there wasn't much to say. They didn't want to interfere too much in the affairs of their juniors."

"But during those few days in Texas, Lisa's family talked about almost everything. They were so close, lively, friendly, and beautiful..."

"This has changed some of Gwen's and my views. City life is indeed very convenient, but people are always a little indifferent to each other. The descendants of our friends and colleagues, apart from learning various skills every day, just participate in social activities step by step. They are excellent, but not happy enough."

"I think if Gwen and I could have a farm, maybe we could give our children a happy childhood like Lisa and her friends did, but I know neither of us can really be farmers. We have unfulfilled responsibilities to the world."

"But in short, the atmosphere of that big family is worth learning from, and it also makes us a little envious. This makes us really start to think about the possibility of adding a few more family members."

"Maybe you can start with a pet," Schiller suggested. "You've never had a pet before? Pikachu doesn't count because it talks too much."

"Yes, Gwen and I have never raised a dog." Peter nodded and said, "Gwen had a kitten in her childhood, but it was very weak when she was rescued and died not long after. My neighbor had a dog, but it was a very fierce big dog, which made me not have a good impression of dogs as a species."

"I don't recommend you to get a pet dog, because you two obviously don't have that much time to walk the dog. A cat would be a good choice. It requires little space and doesn't require much activity. It's very suitable for your apartment."

"That's what we were thinking. Gwen is already looking at adoption conditions. We want to get a normal local cat, and if possible, start small, preferably under three months old."

"Then you have to ask Dick." Schiller turned around, waved at Dick behind the window and said, "Where's Qiuqiu? Is she asleep again?"

"Yes, it played for a while before, and now it's exhausted." Dick walked out and entered the hot spring pool again, then said, "It seems that all mammal cubs are like this. They play very crazy, but they get tired after a while."

"Did you adopt a kitten? What breed? How old is it?"

"Yes, it's a Siberian Forest Cat, just a few months old, it's still a tiny one..."

The two people talked about kittens with great interest.

Schiller could actually see that neither Dick nor Peter were the kind of people who needed pets to relieve stress and soothe their emotions. Their purpose in keeping pets was to experience another kind of intimate relationship.

Dick, Peter and Gwen are all children from very typical small families. The so-called small family is a family of three who live in an ordinary city building. They have a small social circle, and the only acquaintances they know are colleagues and classmates. Their neighborhood relations are very weak.

A relatively large family is similar to Lisa's family. Even Schiller comes from a large family. There are many people around him, including grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters, and even neighbors, uncles and aunts, elders and friends from the same village. He has lived in a lively social circle since he was a child.

These two kinds of growth environments will bring subtle differences, more like an alternative siege, and both sides feel that the other's environment is better.

Especially in a country like the United States, where rural areas are more developed, large families do not mean poverty and may even mean wealthier families. Although cities are convenient, the pressure of life is greater, so children born in small families are more likely to envy children from large families.

Because of this envy, some people would rather build a big family for themselves. Although the situation of their parents cannot be changed, they can have their own children.

If you don't have the conditions to have children, then keep more pets. Schiller has met many such people during his consultation process. They really treat their pets as family members and as the lively social circle that they missed in their childhood and adolescence.

Although Dick came from a small family at first, after going to Wayne Manor, he had Thomas and Martha, Bruce and Selina, several brothers and sisters, and a caring old butler, which made up for some of his childhood regrets.

But Peter and Gwen were loners before, and after they got together, they just had a companion. His teammates in the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D., and even Dr. Schiller, who had a great influence on him, could not make up for his regret for a close and lively family relationship.

If you have never seen the light, you will naturally not be afraid of the darkness. After seeing Lisa's family, Peter and Gwen naturally felt a little empty. The first step they took after choosing to change was to get a pet.
