Chapter 3: The Girl with Front Teeth
"Canaan, are you packing your things? We're leaving. ā
"It's almost there, Mom. Canaan, who was in the house, looked out the window at the snow and shook his head.
"Mom, why do we have to go out when it snows so much? We can wait a few days for the snow to stop, and then we can go out." Canaan took his big red hat and rubbed his reddened hands.
"Mom doesn't have that many vacations, and we'll have to move when we get back. And your Aunt Jenny has been urging us for a long time, but we didn't expect it to snow so much today. Helen hurriedly responded. As he spoke, he stuffed two large boxes of red wine into the carriage.
"Alright, come up, your dad has been waiting for a long time. ā
"Okay. ā
Canaan, who had just finished Christmas, thought that he would have a few days off, but he didn't expect his mother to decide to visit a friend on the spot, and I heard that he was a very good friend in college.
Lincoln watched as his son sat listlessly in the car. sighed.
He knew that this meeting was not what he had agreed upon. It's just that his wife sent her son's books to many friends, but I don't know what happened, and this party happened. Even he had to give up his hard-won vacation and be used as a driver.
Seeing that Canaan and Helen were already in the car, Lincoln didn't think much about it and quickly started the old black car.
"Canaan, remember to be polite when you get over there, and call Aunt Jenny and Uncle Wendell. And remember to give them your book, I've wrapped it in a gift box. They have been looking forward to the follow-up plot for a long time. Helen said quickly.
I have to say that the Marvel series of books has been selling well in the past few days, and it has become popular throughout the United Kingdom, and I heard that the publisher is ready to translate many Chinese languages and sell them all over the world. And the next few books have already been printed first, so they were taken by Helen as gifts.
"Okay, Mom, but can we get back in the evening?"
"It's too dangerous to drive at night, we'll squeeze at your Aunt Jenny's house at night. But they have a little girl, and you might want to sleep with her. Helen looked back at Canaan with a smile and blinked.
"Son, come on, it's not impossible to fall in love, Dad supports you. Lincoln chimed in and laughed.
Seeing his parents' ridicule, Canaan laughed a few times and then stopped responding, turning his head to look at the snow outside the window, which was plain and white.
After driving for about three hours, the car came to a small town. Canaan looked up and saw that every house seemed to have a small courtyard and a three-story building. The architectural style is slightly different from London's, it is much more empty, and from a distance, it is more holy and quiet under the background of snow.
"Alright, here we are, Canaan, straighten your hat and straighten your collar. Make a good impression. ā
Looking at his mother, who was sorting out his father's clothes, Canaan moved his stiff body and sighed sadly.
"Ding Ding Ding"
"Click" With the doorbell ringing, the door is quickly opened.
"Helen, Lincoln, long time no see, the last time I saw you was at the wedding!" greeted a tall blonde beauty, and said and gave Helen a huge hug.
"Come in, you're all frozen, there's hot cocoa and dessert in the house. ā
"Is this our genius little writer! so good-looking!" the blonde beauty then looked at Canaan to the side. Holding the gift box, his face was flushed, although he wore a rustic hat, but he couldn't stop Canaan's handsome appearance, and he perfectly inherited the advantages of his parents.
Although it was a fact that he was handsome, this Aunt Jenny's praise still made Canaan happy, and he immediately stopped complaining about waiting in the snow for a long time.
"Pretty Aunt Jenny, just call me Canaan. Canaan was also not stingy with his praise, and his demeanor was very gentle.
"Well, handsome little Canaan, what a polite little fellow. Jenny rubbed Canaan's little face.
"Britney, uh, Hermione, come down, your favorite writer brother is here. Jenny shouted upstairs again.
"Britney!" Canaan was completely attracted by these three words, and completely ignored the next two words. What an interesting name.
"She has loved sweets since she was a child, and we call her Britney, but after she is sensible, she doesn't want us to call her. Jenny laughed and explained.
"There was a patient who had a toothache, Wendell he went to help, he should not be back until later, leave him alone. You have some dessert first, the sugar content is not high, oh, and try my craftsmanship. ā
Canaan sat down on the couch near the stove, ate a few bites of cake, sweet and delicious, and drank a large sip of hot milk to dispel most of the chill in his body, and he felt that Aunt Jenny's craftsmanship was much better than that of Helen.
Seeing that there was no movement upstairs, Jenny winked at Canaan and said, "Canaan, can you help me call Britney?"
"This little girl loves to read the most, and then she forgets the time. ā
"Yes, Aunt Jenny. ā
Canaan came upstairs, and there was a room with the door ajar and brightly lit.
Walking forward, a little girl was lying on the desk, making a small snoring sound, and there was a book under her hands, the first part of the Marvel series.
It seems that he is still my little fan, but aren't you afraid of catching a cold?
He looked at the facilities in the room, most of them were pink, and it did look like a little girl's room.
What is this? Canaan saw a pencil on the table with a delicate Rapunzel on it, and it looked beautiful. Sure enough, girls love this kind of thing.
He took it in his hand, played with it with some curiosity, and inadvertently used a little force.
Smack-
In the silence of the room, the cracking of pencils is particularly harsh!
Canaan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the quality of this toy pen to be so poor, under his "huge force", the princess doll was directly separated from the pen barrel.
So unsturdy!
Canaan, who was about to destroy the corpse, received an angry gaze, and found that the little girl who had woken up at some point was looking at him with red eyes.
The atmosphere is a little awkward!
"Well, Britney, hello, I'm from your mother's friend'sā" Canaan smiled as he thought he was kind.
Before she finished speaking, the little girl had red eyes and a big grin, revealing two conspicuous front teeth. Then I cried out with a wow, and the tears flowed away.
As soon as Hermione woke up, she saw a boy in a khaki hat, who broke her favorite Christmas present, and called her with a lewd smile, Britney!!
"Wow! you pay my Snow White!
"Don't cry, don't cry, I'll compensate you, I'll go back and buy a big Snow White doll for you, okay?"
"I don't want it, I just want the pen my dad bought for me, you're a bad person. The little girl said as she wiped her tears.
Why is it so hard to coax a seven-year-old?
"Okay, I'll buy it for you later, okay?"
"Woooooooo ā
Afterwards, Canaan apologized to the little girl again and again with a serious attitude, promised a lot of gifts, and promised to give her the new book Harry Potter that was about to be conceived as soon as possible. It was only then that the tragedy was put to an end.
As for the expected sleep, Canaan said that he thought too much, and the bed in the little girl's room was a bunk bed, and Canaan was honored to sleep on the top bunk.
Could it be that Aunt Jenny wants to have a second child?
Early the next morning, the Canaan family was ready to leave for home.
Hermione stood outside the door, waving, "Big bad, remember my gifts and books." ā
"Okay, Britney. Canaan smiled back, and in one night, he knew that the little girl hated being called Britney the most.
......
Before the holiday was over, the Canaan family quickly sorted out their household clutter and prepared to move to a new residence.
"No. 33 Privet Road, this is it. Lincoln expertly drove the cart to the door, followed by a large truck, pulling furniture.
"Let's help move the furniture in," Lincoln commanded, hiring a few temporary workers.
At this time, Canaan, who was sitting in the car, felt that someone seemed to be watching him, and he looked back, and on the second floor of a room opposite, a thin little boy with glasses and unkempt hair was looking at this side.
Wearing glasses at such a young age, isn't it useless to grow up?Canaan thought with some malice.
It is estimated that the movement of the house is too loud, and the surrounding neighbors are noisy. Canaan didn't think much of it either, and he was recently preparing to conceive his new book, the Harry Potter series.
The Marvel series has sold hundreds of thousands of units almost a week since it went on sale, and it has become popular all over the UK. Canaan, who had just reached the age of nine, had become a well-known genius writer. Although he is still a minor, Canaan also has a large amount of pounds that can be squandered freely, and it is estimated that various royalties will also receive hand cramps in the future.
"It seems that my life is as lonely as snow before I work hard. Basking in the sunlight through the car window, Canaan lay lazily in the car seat.
"Invincible, it's so lonely!"
A big hand waved, and Canaan was directly awakened.
"Canaan, what do you want! Come and help, your dad and I are dying of exhaustion. ā
"And how to arrange the furniture in your room, tell a few uncles in advance. ā
"Oh!
