Before four o'clock, the siblings returned to the governor's official residence in the city, and the home was empty and looked a little deserted.

At this point in time, Mother Nina should be on her way to pick up Robert and the others. Aunt Susan may have gone grocery shopping.

Even without the memory of the original owner, after a month of observation, Evan can guarantee that he will guess accurately.

"Virginia. ”

Evan stopped his sister, who was going upstairs, and threw his bag over. Virginia scrambled to catch it.

“Thanks！”

Virginia laughed and scolded, "One day, you will become the embodiment of Belial." ”

Evan smiled and lay down on the couch in the living room, bored.

In this era, entertainment is poor. Both TV sets and movies are in black and white, the TV screen is not as big as a tablet of later generations, and the three major TV networks are just newborn babies who are toddlers.

As for video games and the Internet?

If you want to relax, you can only make do with listening to music on a vinyl record player.

Evan put his hands behind his head as pillows and lay down in a more comfortable position, his eyes staring at the ceiling, cranky.

He thought of Audrey, fate had made the goddess come to him, should he act?

He thought of his spiritual motherland, which would still be in the shadow of war for several years, far away from the ocean, and he could not do anything to think of it.

He thought of a conversation with Virginia over lunch, and she was working on it with her goal of being a writer. With at least 50 years of world-leading knowledge and technology, you can do almost anything, but which one does you really want to do?

Is it to become a scientist and win the Nobel Prize?

Or will he become a copyist and also take the Nobel Prize to get a soft hand?

Well...... No, none of this is difficult!

It's annoying......

Annoyed Evan couldn't help but do sit-ups on the couch to distract himself.

"Evan, what's wrong with you?"

Virginia, who didn't know when she had gone downstairs, saw the abnormal Evan and said with concern.

Evan stopped, sat upright, and said with a look of blame for you: "Virginia, it's all because you asked me about your life plan at noon, and now I'm also troubled by it." ”

As soon as she heard the reason, Virginia sat down on Evan's sofa, took a cushion and hugged it in her arms, and said with a smile: "Evan, you listened to me at noon, why don't you also confide in me about your troubles?"

"Speaking of which, Evan, you never said what you want to do in the future, do you want to be a politician in your father's footsteps, or do you want to be like a bird and break away from your parents' arms and choose your own career and live your own life?"

Virginia looked at her brother with interest, but saw that Evan was in a hurry, and seemed to be hesitating which one was better, and it seemed that neither choice was good. Virginia thought for a moment, then suddenly her face changed, and asked, "Evan, could it be that you want to join the army as Colin thought?"

How could it be?

I even feel depressed about military training in college, how can I see a place like a military camp.

Evan quickly shook his head and denied, "Virginia, you're thinking too much. ”

"That's good!" Virginia, who was frightened by herself, patted her chest, and then said relaxedly: "Evan, whatever you do, just don't join the army, there is enough Colin for the people you remember every day." ”

"Oh, I see. Evan looked at Virginia, who was terrified, and his heart moved, and he suddenly felt that it seemed good to have such a sister who cared about her family.

Virginia saw that Evan didn't mean to talk about her troubles, so she was no longer reluctant, and happened to see the record player on the side of the living room out of the corner of her eye, so she said: "By the way, Evan, you go and see the record player, it seems that something is wrong, you didn't brag that you would fix it, now the opportunity has come, go quickly!"

Virginia spoke, and Evan, who was his younger brother, was naturally obedient, scratched his hair, and then got up and walked towards the record player, asking as he went: "When was it broken, why don't I know?"

Virginia replied, "It was last night, and everyone said she told you in the morning, but everyone seems to have forgotten." ”

"Really? what's wrong with it?" asked Evan as he put on a reel of film, put the stylus in the starting position, flicked the switch, and the record began to spin automatically, and the sound came from the huge brass-colored horns of the record player. Before Virginia could speak, Evan knew what the problem was as soon as he heard the voice.

The song used to be beautiful is now like a ghost.

It could be a problem with the stylus or a problem with the internal circuitry.

Evan made an initial diagnosis, turned to Virginia and said, "Bring the tools." ”

Soon, Evan got the tools and began to get started, disassembled, and inspected.

Virginia didn't bother him, and watched quietly.

During this time, Nina took the three Robert brothers home. Robert saw that Evan was repairing the record player, and he also liked to dismantle the machine. Dora and Dorothy were not interested, and as soon as they got home, they went to the piano room to practice.

"Evan, I think there's something wrong with this place. ”

From time to time, Robert interjected and pointed fingers. Annoyed Evan threw a look over, "Either you come or shut up." ”

Robert had to keep his mouth shut.

An hour later, the turntable resounded with the correct and beautiful melody.

Hearing the song, Dora and Dorothy ran out of the piano room and praised Evan, who was wiping his sweat: "Brother Evan, you are so good. ”

Although he was very unconvinced, Robert, who realized that he was indeed inferior in technology, also praised and said: "You are amazing." ”

Virginia said half-jokingly and half-praisedly: "Evan, according to your craft, you don't have to worry about what you will do in the future, at least, you won't starve to death." ”

Evan was stunned.

Using your craft to make a living, it seems like it's not bad.

With future life experience, I am worth not only those literary and artistic works and scientific discoveries, but also those countless inventions that can improve my life, make people more and more convenient and lazy.

I'm going to be an inventor!

It's also a hobby to regain the hobby of the previous life.

It's just that in the previous life, I spent money all over the world to buy antique electrical appliances, and now I need to do it myself.

The next few decades were the era of electronics, with a wide variety of electrical appliances that touched all aspects of life coming out one after another and spreading at a breakneck pace.

During World War II, it was precisely by seizing this wave that he could quickly re-emerge and become the second in the capitalist world.

Thinking of this, Evan unconsciously gritted his teeth, preparing to step on a few feet himself when the time came.

After paying attention, Evan patted Virginia on the shoulder, thanked him, and under the surprised gaze of Virginia and others, he went upstairs and returned to his room, took out his notebook and wrote and drawn. Evan was so engrossed in his attention that he almost forgot the passage of time, until Virginia knocked on the door to find it pitch black outside the window.

Carefully hiding the notebook, Evan walked out of the room, Virginia saw the smile on the corner of his mouth and looked excited, and couldn't help but whisper: "What are you doing in the room, calling you several times, I don't know how to give a response, right...... Writing love letters to Audrey?"

Evan stroked his forehead with a wry smile, glanced at his sister, and said, "Virginia, I didn't! ”

"Really, you didn't lie to me?"

"Believe it or not!"

"I don't believe it!"

Hearing this, Evan stopped on the stairs, looked back at his sister, seemed to be smiling, and said in a threatening voice: "Virginia, what do you want to be in the future at noon?"

Virginia froze for a moment, restrained her gossip heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, I believe you are, let's go, Nina is calling people again." ”

However, on the way, Virginia couldn't help but ask, "You just said that you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

Evan didn't hide it: "Yes, I'm going to be an inventor." ”

Virginia was noncommittal.

After a while, Virginia and Evan walked into the dining room.

Illuminated by the dark yellow chandelier, the dining room is filled with the atmosphere of home.

Dora, Dorothy, and Robert were seated, and Aunt Susan and Nina were sharing the meal.

Evan found that his father's seat was vacant, and casually asked as he sat down, "Is the governor still busy?"

Nina, who answered him by being the most aware of Earl's whereabouts: "Mr. Governor has a matter to discuss with a few councillors tonight, so he can't have dinner with us, and he called back and asked me to apologize to the children on his behalf." ”

"Evan, you'll forgive him, right?"

Evan laughed: "Of course, we all know that Mr. Governor is a busy man and has to apologize almost every week, others don't know, anyway, I'm used to it." ”

After Evan finished speaking, Robert held up his knife and fork and chimed in, "Me too!"

Dora said, "I will forgive my father if he brings me a gift when he returns." ”

Dorothy added, "Not for you, it's for us!"

Of the five siblings, only Virginia did not speak.

After the meal was finished, Nina sat down in her seat and said with a smile: "I will convey your attitude to Mr. Governor, now shut your mouths, and then we will thank the Lord together for the gift." ”

The regular pre-dinner prayer is over, and everyone eats.

There are no special rules on the dining table at Warren's house, everyone eats and chats with each other.

Of course, Nina has been taught not to open your mouth until you have swallowed the food in your mouth.

There is no fixed topic for the family to talk about, and they can say whatever comes to mind.

Dora and Dorothy show off that they are switching classes at school again today but no one notices, and Robert worries that his upcoming voice change period will affect his appearance in the play.

Virginia shook out a beautiful transfer student from Evan's class, causing Evan to roll his eyes.

Everyone talked and laughed, but no one cared about Mr. Governor.

Of these people, Evan is probably the only one who knows that Mr. Governor will be in a state of extreme busyness for a long time to come.

On May 8, 1945, Germany signed the surrender, and on September 2, the Japanese signed the surrender, so that the protracted World War finally ended, with countless casualties and great destruction. What is coming is a pattern of two superpowers pitting each other.

When the war ended, the United States had to make changes in many things, such as the industrial production system that was fully committed to the war effort, such as the large number of troops.

Industrial enterprises need to be transformed, and a large number of soldiers must be retired in an orderly manner.

The former requires little effort on the part of the government, but the latter requires the government to deal with it carefully.

At this time, the total population of the United States is about 140 million, but there are about 11 million military personnel in service, and in the next few years, 9 million of them will take off their uniforms and re-enter society.

With so many military personnel returning to society, whether they can be re-employed, whether it will affect public order, and other issues need to be considered and handled carefully by the government. If you don't get it right, it will lead to endless problems.

As a populous state, California has a large number of soldiers for the military. Therefore, Governor Earle cannot but be cautious and take extra overtime as a matter of course.

You must know that the governor will be re-elected next year, and if this thing goes wrong, then their family will need to change their place of residence next year.

Evan could guess the source of the governor's father's busyness, but he wasn't prepared to get involved.

He didn't think that he was almost a political novice who could handle it better than the governor.

Evan ate the fastest, the first to clear the plate, and after wiping his mouth casually, he looked at Nina: "Nina, your craft has improved again." ”

"Thanks, Evan!" Nina nodded at Evan, her son's praise for not wanting money made her useful, "There's still a kitchen, if you like it, I'll help you get another one." ”

With that, Nina was about to get up.

Evan quickly shook his head and refused: "No, I'm full, really, I swear to God." ”

"Okay......"

"Nina, I'll go upstairs first. ”

"Yes, hot water is ready, be the first to go if you want to take a shower. ”

"Okay. ”

Evan got up, put his chair away, and then left the restaurant.

His plan is not yet ready, and he needs to make persistent efforts.
