Chapter 252: Almost Forgotten Again
"Robert, it's your turn. ”
Robert, who felt overshadowed, was not very interested, but at the urging of Nina, he had to speak: "Mom, I am at school, I go to school every day, there is nothing to say." ”
Nina encouraged: "Why not, isn't your little fund running well?" ”
Dora also said, "yes, yes, I made a lot of money." ”
Robert said: "No matter how much you earn, it's only four figures......
Nina understood why Robert was like this, so she no longer insisted, but said earnestly: "Robert, this so-called family meeting is just a whim of mine, in order for me to know more about you as a mother, and by the way, let you brothers and sisters communicate and know each other more." ”
"I'm not saying that you don't love each other, you have a good relationship with each other, I know that. But after all, they are different years and far apart, and relying on phone calls and letters alone is definitely not as effective as face-to-face communication. ”
"Robert, I know why you don't want to speak, it's just that you don't think you've done as good as Evan. It is also true that Evan's current achievements are comparable to few people in the whole world. ”
"But that's not the case in my eyes. Robert, you are my child, and Evan is my child too. In my opinion, you have organized clubs at school, held Rubik's Cube competitions, researched materials, selected stocks, and successfully doubled the capital gains of your fund, all of which give me no less pride than your brother's. You know, Evan is still lazy in bed every day at your age?"
"So, Robert, you don't have to be presumptuous, though you should speak proudly. ”
Nina's words touched Robert and made him a little embarrassed, but he still didn't change his mind.
"Why?"
Robert said helplessly: "Mom, what I want to say has been said by you, so you don't need me to repeat it." ”
Nina didn't react for a while, blinked in confusion, and asked, "Do I have it?"
Evan interjected, "Yes, Nina, clubs, competitions, funds, you just said those three things. ”
"It seems that this is indeed the case. Nina smiled embarrassedly and apologized to Robert, saying, "I'm sorry, Robert. ”
"No, did you listen to what I just said?"
Robert nodded hurriedly.
"Alright, let's ......" Nina looked at the twins who were being held in Earl's arms, "which of you will come first." ”
Dorothy and Dora looked at each other and exchanged words for a brief moment of silence, Dora said, "We've been together almost 24 hours a day, and we've done everything together, so let's talk about it together." ”
"I said the first half of the year, what did we do in the first half of the year? I think about it, there we were, we managed to switch places during the exam and not be noticed, well, three times!"
When Dora was looking proud, Dorothy covered her mouth in shame, "Who told you to say this!"
Dora blinked, "Can't say this?"
Dorothy said, "Of course." ”
Over there, Evan and Virginia were already having fun, Earl was smiling wryly, and Nina resisted the urge to grab Dora and spank her.
"Don't talk about it. I'll ...... instead," Dorothy glanced at Nina and decided not to give Dora a chance to continue to be stupid, "In the first half of the year, Dora and I participated in a piano competition held by the Unified School District and won a gold medal. He also served as a piano accompanist at the graduation ball that year. ”
Well, Dora's success in getting her math score from a failing grade to a B- is also a big thing to remember. ”
"This is!" echoed Evan, "I remember the night I got my report card, Dora was on the phone for half an hour showing off. ”
"That's right. Nina also said happily: "She also asked me to make a cake that day, saying that it was to celebrate." ”
Dora looked embarrassed and said, "Alas, you are not allowed to say ......"
People don't like math, it's rare to do well in the test, can you not make me happy?
"And you, Dorothy, actually dare to laugh at my sister and look at my ......"
As she spoke, Dora was about to tickle Dorothy. Dorothy was naturally unwilling to commit it, so the two started fighting.
"Alright, you two don't mess around......" Evan stopped smiling and said to Dorothy, "You go on." ”
Dorothy paused and continued, "During the summer vacation, under the guidance of Mrs. Pierce, we studied hard and improved our skills a lot, but Virginia's cooking was much worse than that of Mom. ”
Virginia said angrily, "Yo, Dorothy, you little bad girl, you dare to speak ill of me." ”
"I took you to Los Angeles for a week...... No conscience. ”
Dorothy's little face immediately collapsed, "Virginia, I didn't speak ill of you. ”
Nina supported Nina and said, "It's okay, Dorothy, you're right, Virginia doesn't know how to cook." ”
Virginia said unconvinced: "Mom, in Los Angeles, I cook by myself now......
"Oh? really...... In that case, starting tomorrow, the kitchen will be handed over to you, so that I can rest. ”
Virginia was dumbfounded and didn't speak for a long time.
Dorothy glanced at Virginia secretly, smiled gloatingly, and continued: "After going to school, Dora and I formed a band at the school, with a total of five members, Dora is the lead singer and I am the keyboardist. After our band was formed, we used to hold school concerts, and when we were at the festival, we were the most popular program. ”
Evan exclaimed, "Oh, that's amazing, but unfortunately I didn't get to see it with my own eyes." ”
"Why don't you do that, Dorothy, Dora, how about you put on a show for my brother to enjoy now?"
"Yes!" Dorothy agreed, but remembering that there was still a meeting, she looked at Nina.
Nina shook her head and said, "Wait a minute, we're not done here yet?"
Evan was surprised and asked, "Why is it not over?"
Nina sighed, "You guys, Colin has only been out for a few years, and you forgot about him. ”
Evan suddenly realized, "yes, and Colin." ”
"I haven't forgotten that we each have a monthly correspondence. ”
"But Colin is still in the army......"
Virginia and the others nodded in unison, meaning that they hadn't forgotten either.
Nina said, "So what, I can do it for him." ”
"Colin must have sent me more letters than all of you. ”
