I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Depp put Jonathan on the ground, and the latter immediately said gratefully, "Thank you both so much for your help."

Jonathan had barely finished speaking when Clark, who had come running over, hugged him tightly.

Jonathan patted Clark on the back reassuringly, gesturing for him to thank Depp and his wife.

As for Martha, she kicked the dog that had abandoned Jonathan and run back alone to the side.

Clark wiped away his tears, extended his hand and said, "Thank you so much, sir, you saved my father's life."

Then, Clark introduced Depp to his family.

“My name is Clark Kent, and this is my father, Jonathan Kent, and my mother, Martha Kent.”

Looking at the young man in front of him, Clark felt that he absolutely could not let Lana, whom he had a crush on, see this guy!

This guy is so handsome, he doesn't want to find himself a new competitor.

As for the girl named Lana Lan whom Clark currently has a crush on, she is not single.

Her boyfriend, Whitney, was also Clark's classmate and the captain of Smallville High School's American football team.

Depp shook Clark's hand and introduced himself: "Hello Clark, I'm Chris Reeves, and this is my wife, Audrey."

Depp did not reveal his true identity, partly because he was unsure whether Jonathan harbored prejudice against the Lex Luthor family, as he did in the Superman prequel.

If that were the case, it would probably be difficult for him, this newly minted big capitalist, to build a good relationship with him.

Jonathan is a very principled person. If he is prejudiced against me, then even if I saved him, he might not change his mind.

Not to mention, Jonathan didn't know that he had dispersed the tornado; he only thought he was a kind passerby who helped him get to the overpass.

As for the second point, once the townspeople know his identity, it will be inconvenient for him to do anything, and he will easily become estranged from the townspeople, just like Lex Luthor.

As for the third point, it's more interesting for him and Selena to enter the town with completely new identities than to become a member of the town as Depp.

As for his new identity and residence, Depp had already made all the necessary arrangements in advance.

Upon hearing this, Clark finally noticed Selena standing next to Depp.

Clark was momentarily stunned when he saw Selena.

My goodness, Mr. Levi's wife is so beautiful!

She seems to be countless times prettier than Lana!

Damn it, how could I think like that?

"Hello, Mrs. Levi."

Clark greeted him politely, but forgot to shake hands.

After all, Selena was too beautiful; her beauty was different from that of the girls in the small-town high school.

Compared to those immature high school students, Selena's beauty is like a ripe, luscious apple.

Furthermore, Selena's maturity is different from that of her mother, Martha, who is middle-aged and dignified.

Selena, in her early twenties, exudes a deadly allure with her maturity.

This left Clark, who was going through puberty, somewhat bewildered.

However, he did not entertain any impolite or presumptuous thoughts.

His devotion to Lana brought him a sense of peace.

After all, Mr. Levi's wife is already so beautiful.

So, he definitely won't try to take Lana away from me, right?

A man in unrequited love sometimes finds himself surrounded by enemies; even a superman is not immune to this.

Depp, seeing the change in Clark's expression, immediately knew what the kid was thinking.

However, Depp had more important things to say to Clark than to the girls.

He patted Clark on the shoulder and said, "You have a good father."

Clark was taken aback by Depp's words, but he immediately agreed, saying, "Yes, I have the best father in the world."

“So you have to protect him, understand?” Depp said. “Protecting the lives of those around you is more important than some trivial secrets, isn’t it?”

Upon hearing this, Clark lowered his head in shame.

He suddenly realized that he had almost watched his father die right in front of him.

I am absolutely capable of saving my father!

The father was willing to give his life to protect his secret from being discovered by others.

But he himself, like a coward, dared not make a move.

But Clark quickly rallied.

He raised his head, his eyes resolute, and said, "I will. I will do my best to protect everyone around me!"

Seeing that his son seemed a little off, Jonathan limped forward a couple of steps and asked, "Mr. Levi, are you and your wife moving to Smallville?"

Depp took Selena's hand, nodded, and said, "That's right, we're about to move into Smallville."

Upon hearing this, Jonathan clapped his hands and said, "We happen to be residents of this small town, and we can show you the way and give you a warm welcome."

"You can follow behind my car..."

Jonathan pointed to his car in the distance, only to find that it had been flattened by other vehicles that had been blown up by the tornado.

Depp smiled and said, "Perhaps I can give you a ride home; there's still room in the car."

Jonathan said awkwardly, "Thank you very much!"

In the afternoon, Depp drove to the Kent family's farm.

The Kent family had been farmers for generations, and Jonathan hoped that Clark would carry on the family tradition.

The Kent family's farm is not small; they mainly make a living by growing corn.

In fact, most farms in the entire town of Smallville grow corn.

This place was once the largest corn-growing region in the United States.

However, due to its failure to keep up with economic and technological trends, the corn industry in Smallville has gradually declined in recent years.

Many farmers have opted for bank loans due to disruptions in their economic supply chains.

Ultimately, because they were unable to repay the loan on time, the bank seized their house and farm.

These bankrupt farmers were forced to move away from the town.

“Your farm is really nice!” Depp exclaimed.

Jonathan had Clark help his mother move her luggage while he chatted with Depp.

"This is a farm that has been passed down through generations of the Kent family. It used to be much more lively than it is now."

“In my grandfather’s time, our family would hire up to six helpers to help with the harvest.”

“And now…” Jonathan shrugged helplessly, “it’s just the three of us left.”

Isn't that because your son is better in one quarter than in six?

However, Depp didn't call Jonathan out on his words. He said, "Don't worry, Jonathan, everything will be alright. After all, you have a very good son."

Upon hearing this, Jonathan pointed to Clark behind him with his thumb and said with a proud expression, "That kid? Well, that kid is indeed very outstanding, and most importantly, he is also very kind."

“Just like you,” Depp said.

Jonathan laughed heartily upon hearing this and said, "That's right, just like you!"

Behind them, Martha dusted off her hands and said, "Everything's been moved inside. Shouldn't this limping man go in and take a look too?"

Selena then came over and hugged Depp's arm, as docile as a kitten.

Jonathan gave Depp a knowing look, then limped back into the house.

At this moment, Martha walked over to Depp and Selena, tears welling in her eyes, and said, "Thank you so much for saving Jonathan. To be honest, if anything had happened to him, I can't even imagine what my life with Clark would have been like."

This middle-aged woman, though still charming, has gained a little weight.

He was clearly not as composed as he appeared in front of his family.

In order not to worry her family, she finally showed her vulnerable side in front of Depp and Selena Gomez.

Selena put her arm around Martha and gently stroked her back, trying her best to calm her down.

Depp comforted him, saying, "But Jonathan is perfectly fine now. The tornado just suddenly disappeared. At most, Jonathan only suffered a minor foot injury, right? I think... it must be fate."

“It’s fate…” Martha wiped away her tears, composed herself, and said, “Yes, Jonathan and Clark are both safe and sound now, so what do I have to be sad about?”

Martha's emotions gradually calmed down, and she said, "Speaking of fate, perhaps meeting you two incredibly beautiful couples today is also fate. I think we should have a meal together to celebrate fate, right here at my house!"

This woman, who shares the same name as Bruce's mother, extended an invitation to Depp.

Depp had no reason to refuse; this was a great opportunity to build a good relationship with Superman.

“We would love to,” Depp said. “However, I think you could choose to let me cook.”

"You can cook?"

When Martha said this, she didn't look at Depp, but at Selena.

After all, you can't use the testimony of the person involved to prove their innocence.

Selena nodded and said, "Yes, my husband usually cooks at home. I'm not good at cooking."

Martha remained skeptical after hearing Selena's words.

After all, in the whole town, it's almost always women who do the cooking.

Aside from work, the men would just sit at the table like giant babies, waiting for the women to bring them the food they had prepared.

Fifteen minutes later, Depp drove back to the Kent family's farm, this time bringing ingredients and seasonings he had bought from the store and going straight into the Kent family's kitchen.

Ten minutes later, the Kent family of three were all crouching by the kitchen, watching Depp and Selena's performance.

Depp was the head chef, while Selena pulled out a large Chinese cleaver and swiftly chopped the ingredients.

During this time, she had been trained by Depp to be proficient in using various Chinese kitchen knives.

In the kitchen, every time Depp flipped the wok, Clark would let out a gasp of amazement as the flames rose from the pan.
