Chapter 232: After the Return
On November 3, the dust settled on the general election.
Truman defeated Dewey by a large margin and was successfully re-elected. Although he had been prepared, Dewey, who was still unwilling, delayed for a while before sending congratulations to his competitors.
On November 4, Thomas Lamont, former chairman of JP Morgan, passed away.
Lamont has been on the sick bed for some time, and in the meantime, he has already made arrangements for his inheritance. According to his will, most of his property, with the exception of some real estate, would be donated to the community, benefiting numerous universities and libraries.
As a core part of his estate, his stake in JP Morgan will be sold, part of which will go to Evan Warren.
This is an agreement that was made in October last year.
Saturday, November 6th.
Sacramento.
In the morning, the governor's motorcade drove into the official residence, and the reporters who had been waiting outside tried to block the door with their bodies, but they were stopped by the staff and the large iron gate.
The car stopped, and Earl and his wife stepped out of the back seat, Earl walked to the gate alone, while Nina directed the entourage to carry the luggage.
Well, she's brought back a lot of things, including the electric cooker.
Earl pushed the door open, and Susan was the first to meet him.
Earl handed Susan the blazer and asked in surprise, "What about the kids?"
It's Saturday, and they don't have to go to class, so why didn't they come down to greet them?
Have they all gone out to play?
Probably not, how can I say that Nina and I have been out for a while, don't the children want us?
Thinking of this, Earl couldn't help but feel a little sad, as the child grew older, he became less and less close to his parents.
Susan replied, "Sorry sir, I don't know. ”
With a calm face, Earl walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. In recent months, he has been on the move, rarely spending time at the residence. He looked at the living room, the TV was covered with cloth, and the gramophone was quietly in place, and the furnishings were the same as before, but he felt a little strange.
After a while, Nina walked into the house with her luggage.
"This one is in the kitchen. ”
"This one will be put in the living room first. ”
"Oh, dear, why are you sitting here alone?"
At this moment, the door of the study connected to the living room suddenly opened, and several figures rushed out like flowing water.
Two shadows rushed to the couch, surrounding Earl from behind, one left and one right, as two bouquets of flowers appeared in front of him.
"Saprais, welcome back, Daddy. ”
The two sisters, whose faces were like molds, shouted in unison in Earl's ear.
Earl was stunned for a moment, then smiled and hugged the good sisters to the couch, "Oh, what a big surprise. ”
Another shadow rushed towards Nina, but he was not as "brave" as his sisters, and he also held a bouquet of flowers in his hand, but he couldn't speak for a long time.
Seeing this, Nina smiled and said, "Robert, is this for me?"
Robert hesitated for a long time before he spoke, "Yes, Mom, you have worked hard. ”
Robert handed over the bouquet, and Nina took it happily, then hugged Robert and kissed him on the cheek: "Thank you, my dear son." ”
"What a nice surprise. ”
"I'm curious, though, who came up with the idea?" Nina sniffed the flowers, then curiously looked back and forth between Robert and the twin sisters.
Dora broke free from Earl's arms, raised her arms, and said, "It's me, it's me!"
Nina shook her head without thinking, "No, it's not you. ”
Dora lowered her arm and asked in surprise, "Why?"
Nina walked over to a cabinet next to the TV with a vase on it, and she unwrapped the bouquet as she replied, "It's simple, it's not your style." ”
"My style?" Dora asked, confused, "What is my style?"
Nina put the flower in the vase, then turned to look at Dora, and said with a smile: "If it was your idea, I guess it should be directly behind the door and scare us when we enter......"
Before Nina could finish speaking, Dorothy and Robert laughed in unison, and Dora's eyes widened in surprise.
Nina smiled, "I guess I'm right." ”
Dora nodded violently, "Mom is amazing, but, Mom, can you guess who came up with this idea?"
Nina sat down on Earl's right hand side and grabbed Dorothy at the same time, "I guess, it's definitely not Dorothy......
Then she looked at Robert, "Well, you're not like that." ”
"So, come out, little Evan, I know it's you. ”
Nina shouted, "Virginia won't be so boring, and that's all that is left of you, the naughty one......"
As Nina's voice fell, there was a slight movement in the study, and after a while, Evan and Virginia walked out of the room.
With a smile on his face that he didn't want money, Evan opened his arms and walked towards Nina who was sitting on the sofa in a hug.
"Oh, my dear mother, long time no see, you are young again. ”
This flattering appearance made Dora feel a chill, and she couldn't help but look at Dorothy, "Brother is so thick-skinned. ”
Dorothy couldn't help but nod.
Nina raised her eyebrows, smiled and hugged her son, and after touching her cheeks, she said angrily: "Evan, although I also want to be younger, I know that this is impossible. ”
"Also, put away your fake face. ”
"Yes!" Evan immediately closed his face, but after a moment he couldn't help but laugh.
The next moment, everyone in the living room burst into cheerful laughter.
……
Although it took a long time to take the train, Nina still cooked a table of good dishes at noon, and the family had lunch happily.
After lunch, Evan and Earl avoid the others and talk in the study.
"JP Morgan's stock is here?"
"It's here. ”
"Ready to work with the Morgan?"
"That's all there is to it for now. ”
"I spoke to Henry Morgan in New York, and he had a good opinion of you. ”
"Henry Morgan, Morgan, he knows me?"
"I guess, he said he's been to Los Angeles. ”
"But I haven't seen him, huh...... It should be when talking about the loan, it is estimated that he will appear in person. ”
"Maybe, it doesn't matter. ”
"Old Earl, the election is over, what are you going to do next?"
"What else can I do, do what my governor should do. ”
"Those people don't deal with it? You know, California was blue in the election. Dewey must have been disappointed when he learned of this result, right? You must have been the governor of California, and California was supposed to be your solid backing, but you turned against you......
“…… You don't have to worry about that, it's my business. ”
