Chapter 210: Windfall (I)
The city of Los Angeles woke up early.
As soon as the day dawned, there was a noise from Evan's villa caused by human activity.
Evan was the last to walk out of the bedroom, and when he hurried to prepare breakfast for his younger siblings, he found that he didn't have to do anything.
Although it was simple, breakfast was already on the table and Dora had even started eating.
"Good morning, Brother Evan. ”
Seeing Evan, Dorothy, who came out of the kitchen, greeted her first, and then couldn't help laughing, "Brother, go wash up." ”
Following Dorothy's gaze, Evan touched his messy hair and understood why she was laughing.
A few minutes later, Evan returns to the table and unceremoniously snatches a sandwich from Dora's plate, causing her to glare angrily, and then tries to snatch it back from Evan with open teeth and claws.
"Jingle bell!"
Just as the brother and sister were having a good time, the phone in the living room rang.
Virginia spoke up, "Dora, stop making trouble. ”
Evan was able to get out and come to the living room with a slice of bread in his mouth.
He picked up the microphone casually, his mouth loosened, and the bread was caught by the other hand, "Hey, this is Evan Warren." ”
The microphone immediately came from the other party's voice, and from the first word of the other party, Evan subconsciously straightened his waist and became extremely focused.
"Good morning, dear Evan, hmm...... I guess I'm right. ”
Evan replied, "Good morning, dear Nina. ”
"You're not mistaken, it's really morning here in Los Angeles. ”
As soon as it was Nina who called, several people at the table looked at Evan. Virginia noticed that Dora, who was smiling brightly a second ago, was a little nervous at the moment.
Nina called, and must have something to do with a few of them.
"Yes, that's right, Dora and the others are here, and Virginia brought them out. ”
"Well, I know why, Mrs. Pierce went on vacation. ”
"It's okay, my sisters are not young, and I know what to do. ”
Hearing Evan's words, Dora's face immediately relaxed.
After all, it's my brother, although it's so annoying to rob myself of food, but, for his sake of helping myself, I won't retaliate against him.
"Do you want to talk to Virginia? Okay, I'll call them over. Evan shook the microphone at a few people in the dining room, "Nina wants to talk to you, who will come first." ”
The four of them looked at each other, and the three little ones didn't want to be the first to go, so Virginia had to stand up on her own.
After handing the microphone to Virginia, Evan returned to the table. He had already finished his bread. Evan was about to reach for it again when Dora gave him a sandwich with peanut butter.
The peanut butter-coated sandwich is Evan's favorite, and it's the kind of sandwich that Dora was snatched up just now.
"Brother Evan, you're the best!"
Evan took the sandwich, took a small bite, glanced at Dora, and scolded with a smile: "Now I know that I am courteous...... I've never seen you treat me so well. ”
Dora grinned and said, "Why, I've always been the best for Brother Evan." ”
"Don't believe you ask Dorothy. ”
Evan shook his head, incredulous.
After Virginia and Nina spoke, the remaining three siblings lined up to take the microphone in order of age.
Dora was the last one.
Only at this time, Dora will not compete with Dorothy about who is bigger.
However, Dora is still the one who has been trained by Nina the longest.
Finally, the microphone was back in Evan's hands.
"Nina, it's me. ”
"Evan, it's okay to go play, but stay safe. ”
"I know. Evan reassured, "With me here, nothing will go wrong." ”
"By the way, Nina, old Warren is in good health. The newspaper said that they had traveled a lot of places together in the past few weeks. ”
"Don't worry, I'm here!"
For Earl Warren, who was busy campaigning, Evan only cared about this small matter, and he didn't ask more. And, even if he asked, Nina wouldn't answer on the phone.
"Alright, that's it, Evan, they're handed over, take care of yourself, love you, my son, bye-bye. ”
"Me too, bye-bye!"
About half an hour later, two cars stopped outside the house. The drivers are Haynes and Bob, who is still working after being taken on vacation by Evan.
Dora, who helped clean up the kitchen, couldn't wait to dry her hands and was the first to run out of the door.
"Hurry up, everyone, it's too hot if it's too late. ”
Dora urged loudly and looked up at the blue and cloudless sky.
"Oh, my hat. ”
Realizing that she had forgotten something, Dora had to run back again, and she and Evan passed by in the passageway. Evan was about to ask, but the man had disappeared like the wind.
Robert, who was not far from Evan, shook his head and said to Evan, "Leave her alone, she must have forgotten something again." ”
Evan didn't say anything more when he heard this, and asked Robert to wait in the car first, and he stood at the gate himself.
It wasn't long before Virginia walked out with a hat in hand, followed by Dorothy.
"Let's get to the car first. Evan pointed to the car, then asked, "What did Dora forget?"
Dorothy shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
As she spoke, Dora ran out of her way through the gap between Evan and Dorothy.
"Alright, you guys go over...... I lock the door. ”
……
The five siblings split into two cars and headed for San Bernardino, east of Los Angeles.
San Bernardino, a car city more than an hour from Los Angeles, is a city with a large area and rich forestry resources. The Mormons brought the first farming and logging techniques to the area, but it became a place that was extremely unfriendly to the Mormons.
Dora proposed to come to San Bernardino for the Citrus Festival. In order to promote local products, such events such as exhibitions and carnivals are common in various parts of the country.
Citrus festivals are well-known in California, having been held every year since 1911, but after a hiatus of several years during World War II, it was restarted last year, and this year marks its second year after World War II.
After the restart, the citrus festival not only lasted a little shorter, it originally lasted at least two weeks, but the last one only lasted for one week, and the scale was also much smaller.
Before nine o'clock, Evan and his party arrived at the main venue of the Citrus Festival, a stadium that could easily accommodate thousands of people.
"Evan, give me money. ”
Under the big sun, the group walked into the stadium. The venue was lined up with different varieties of citrus from hundreds of farms, attracting many people to participate in the event.
Before he could look at a few of them, Dora held out her palm to Evan as if it was his duty to give money.
Evan shook his hand at his sister angrily, and didn't give a single one.
Looking at the crowded venue, Evan, who had never participated in an agricultural product fair, felt a little new and regretful at the same time.
"I'm not a produce, so why did I come to participate in this kind of event?"
