Chapter 33: The Gift
Evan drove home with an idiot-like smile on his face the whole time. Fortunately, there was no one sitting next to him, otherwise he would have been either startled or vomited nausea.
Hey, hey!
Although it's just like a dragonfly touching water, it's kissing on the mouth!
No brushing your teeth tonight!
The snow was getting heavier, and Evan was back at the mansion before the road conditions deteriorated.
As soon as he got home, Evan received a call from Carl. Knowing that Evan was fine, that nothing had happened, and that the car was fine, Carl hung up the phone.
As for whether Evan got it done, Carl didn't care at all.
It's better not to succeed, otherwise even Evan, a minor, has company by his side, and he has a handsome face, but he can only spend Christmas alone, wouldn't it seem too much of a failure.
When Evan returned home, the Christmas dinner had long since ended, and the younger generations had already gone back to their rooms to rest.
After talking to Carl on the phone, Evan came to the living room and sat down obediently.
Earl and Nina sat side by side on the couch, Earl holding a pamphlet in her hand, and Nina with a straight face, not angry.
Evan silently said in his heart: "Ascension!"
The next moment, Nina opened her mouth and asked, "Say, Evan, where did you leave the venue halfway?"
Evan sat upright, and couldn't have replied with a good attitude: "Dear Nina, I confess, I'm going to find you a daughter-in-law!"
"Daughter-in-law!" Evan's confession left Nina speechless, other people's children will hide this kind of thing between men and women, and they can't wait to hide it from everyone, why do you admit it so happily when you come here?
It's a lot less fun!
However, for Evan, this is normal.
Earl was right, he was already an adult. Adults are useless about men and women.
Nina glanced at Evan helplessly, and didn't say anything about the lesson she had prepared, but asked, "Evan, are you going to see Audrey?"
Evan nodded.
Nina asked again, "Do you think it's her?"
"You know, you are only sixteen years old now, she is definitely not very old, and the future is still ...... long"
"Uh-huh!" Nina was about to start preaching mode when Earl interrupted her, "To get to the point, Evan knows in his heart, it's late, it's time to go to bed." ”
Nina glared at her husband hatefully, and when he interjected like this, there was no majesty left.
Evan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.
As soon as Nina turned around, Evan immediately retracted his expression.
"Anyway, I won't say anything about your relationship with Audrey. There are only two things that I want you to promise me and your father. ”
"First, emotional things come and go quickly, I hope you can pay attention to it, don't hurt your feelings when you arrive. ”
"Second, pay attention to the body, pay attention to the scale, and don't kill people. If there's anything you don't understand, ask Dr. House. ”
Evan blushed and nodded in agreement.
Good guy, worthy of being someone else's parent, it's really straightforward!
On the other side, Audrey returned home, washed up, and sat on the edge of the bed with a music box. She stared blankly at the solo "self", thought for a moment, and put her dance partner up. Audrey stared at the two "little swans" that were finally complete, her eyes could hook her soul, and her smile was as sweet as honey.
This night, someone was running a horse in a dream.
The next day, Evan was woken up by a quick knock on the door.
It's Dora who is at fault.
"Get up, get up. ”
"Divide the gifts, divide the gifts!"
When it comes to Christmas gifts, it is customary for the Warrens to prepare a gift for each child, and the children to prepare a gift for their parents together. Then each child will prepare another gift to put under the Christmas tree, and on Christmas morning, it will be "divided" in some way that everyone agrees.
That is, each child in the Warren family will have two Christmas presents.
As for the way of distributing gifts, it varies from year to year, and it is decided by on-site proposal and on-site voting.
Evan went downstairs after taking a shower. When he put his clothes in the basket in the laundry room, he also deliberately hid his washed underwear underneath.
Recalling last night's dream, Evan was in a state of mind again, and it took a long time to recite the "Heart Sutra" before he regained his calm.
When he arrived in the living room, the four siblings were chattering about how to divide the gifts this year.
Dora proposed: "Blindfold and touch whichever you want, in order of age, from the smallest to the largest." ”
Virginia immediately shook her head when she heard this, "No, I don't have a choice if you come like this." ”
If Big Brother Colin is still almost.
It doesn't matter what the gift is, it's important to choose it yourself.
After Dora's proposal was rejected, Virginia proposed one of her own, but it still didn't get through.
After tossing and turning for more than half an hour, when Nina came to urge breakfast, everyone agreed to use a simple game to decide the ownership of the gift.
The game goes like this, the five brothers and sisters come to the piano room and line up, each takes a gift, and Nina, who is friendly and assists, plays the piano with her back to everyone. When the piano sounds, each person gives the gift to the other person in a clockwise direction, and at the same time takes the gift from the previous person, and so on until Nina stops randomly and as she likes. The moment Nina stopped playing, each person had in their hands whichever belonged to him.
In this way, when Nina finished playing half of "Song of Love", the owner of the gift was finally decided.
Everyone walked towards the restaurant while opening the gift box.
Dora eats one of Nina's "chestnuts" by throwing the ribbon on the ground.
Virginia was the first to unpack and get a wood carving of a rooster. She frowned and asked, "Who prepared this?"
Virginia looked around, only to see Evan raise his right hand and say, "That's called 'The Golden Rooster Announces the Dawn', which can bring you luck." According to the Eastern calendar, next year is the Year of the Rooster. ”
"I got it from Chinatown. ”
After saying that, the gift that Evan got also revealed its true face, it was an alarm clock!
Seeing this, Evan subconsciously looked at Virginia. I saw Virginia laugh and said happily: "That was what I prepared, but I didn't expect it to be picked up by the person who needed it most." ”
Evan's face darkened, and he gave Virginia a blank look.
Alas, "New Year's Day", why do our sisters and brothers hurt each other here.
Of the remaining three siblings, Robert was given a ceramic piggy bank, which Dorothy had prepared. Dorothy's is a blank album that Dora has prepared. As for Dora, what she got was a Rubik's cube, which Robert copied with his own hands, which was one size smaller than the original.
When she saw that she was a Rubik's cube, Dora was disappointed, she had no interest in this kind of toy that used her brain.
Robert was saddened by this.
