257 Merry Christmas
Zhang Hao doesn't have much to do, so he can sleep lazy; However, there are not many empty rooms in the old man's house, and he and Christina take Xixi to a room, which is Christina's previous room. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Seeing Zhang Hao come out, Adrian, who was sitting in the living room playing games, turned around and said, "Hey, they went to the mall, they are diligent, they set off early, it's almost an hour." ”
Zhang Hao sweated, but he was at ease, "Oh, they are too diligent and don't understand the beauty of sleeping." How about we play a game, I've been playing Madden NFL lately, and Tina is my loser. ”
Adrian was a little surprised, he didn't expect Zhang Hao to know how to rugby, "Is there a mistake?" Do you know the points rules or touchdowns? Please, she taught me to play rugby and watch games, how could I lose to you, a rookie! ”
Rookie, rookie feels the blow!
Zhang Hao feels that he is not a fool, although he does not play football or baseball, he will occasionally accompany Christina to watch the game, just like Christina is obviously not interested in basketball but will accompany him to drink beer and eat snacks to watch the game.
Besides, playing games is a completely different feeling from playing games, and Zhang Hao is very good at playing games.
underestimated Adrian, and didn't kill this guy by chopping melons and vegetables; So much so that the 'master' Zhang Hao is now beginning to doubt Christina's level of playing games, it is usually very simple to chop melons and vegetables, why is it so difficult to kill half of the eldest Adrian!
Xixi is back, the little girl rushed over as soon as she came back, the little girl was very focused on her identity, she was her father's brainless fan, a little cheerleader.
"Come on, Dad, Daddy beat him down! Squash the big baddies! ”
Seeing Xixi jumping and hopping, Adrian, who was busy poking the buttons, laughed, "Sweetheart, I'm not a big villain!" ”
Xixi turned a deaf ear, still jumping and jumping, "Dad, which one are you?" ”
Well, Xixi hasn't recognized which side of the game Dad is operating, and she hasn't figured out how to cheer Dad on yet. In fact, it's not just that the little girl hasn't recognized the team controlled by her father, she doesn't understand the rules of rugby either.
"The red team is Dad's team, and the white team is Uncle Ade's team."
Happy Xixi began to babble and shout happily; But the little girl didn't figure out the state a little, Zhang Hao was intercepted several times, and his advance was very difficult.
Christina and Kate didn't bother, they went to make breakfast and do the housework; Mark smiled and drank coffee and made comments, it felt good to watch his son and son-in-law playing games here, especially Xixi, a noisy little guy, the atmosphere at home was really great.
Zhang Hao scored twenty-five points, which is neither high nor low; But what about Adrian, he scored thirty-five points, which completely crushed him, making Zhang Hao very embarrassed.
Fortunately, Xixi didn't care, the little girl thought that her father had won, and happily kissed her father several times.
Pretending to be confused and pretending to be a big hero, Zhang Hao felt that he still needed to maintain his glorious and majestic image in Xixi's mind.
"Don't think you're good at winning me all the time, you're best at basketball, you can only win some rookies in football, like me. Recognize the reality, you're not the game boss. ”
The frustrated Zhang Hao didn't listen to Christina's words, he just lost the game and didn't know how hard to lose, and now he was pulled out by Christina to taunt him, and he was embarrassed.
It's more interesting to go for coffee, go and talk to the old man, "Mark, is your coffee freshly ground?" ”
Mark was a little proud, and felt that he must have something to say to Zhang Hao, "Of course, I have a lot of research on these coffees." I have a lot of coffee beans, some of which are very good. Would you like to check it out, I heard you've been enjoying coffee lately. ”
Of course, you can have a good chat, Zhang Hao really likes coffee, he does have a lot of coffee beans, and now he is quite particular. It's just that in the end, it has only been more than a year, and it is very good to communicate with more people.
This is very particular, because the coffee equipment is different and the appropriate grinding method is used, and different coffee beans also have different grinding, including brewing......
Many times Zhang Hao is not a very particular person, but sometimes he still feels that there is no harm in compromise.
Xixi dominates the TV, and she continues to watch her cartoons; There's no way to start watching cartoons early in the morning, if it's on the ranch, the little girl can also play games with her friends, but now it's better to watch cartoons, and her mother won't let her go to the kitchen.
Christina and her mother were busy making breakfast in the kitchen and chatting.
Kate said with some amusement, "It looks like Hao and Mark are finally getting along, and they don't look like enemies anymore." ”
Christina immediately laughed and said with some smugness, "Of course, this will make me happy and proud." They're great people, but they've become hostile to me. ”
Kate patted Christina lightly and said, "He's a great boy, and I'm happy to see your life now." In the past, your dad and I would worry about you, you were sometimes not good at communicating with others, and your vision was a little high. But don't worry about that now, you're doing well now, you're happy. ”
Christina laughed, full of happiness; She does feel quite happy now, and she is very satisfied with her current life.
Seeing her daughter's happy appearance, Kate was of course also very happy, "By the way, this time it's Christmas, will he do Mass with us?" I know he's not a Catholic, does he have faith? ”
This is not a big deal, but in some traditional American cultures, some people feel that people without faith are dangerous. Especially in the United States, whether it is Orthodox or Catholic or Protestant, they are actually Christians.
Christina, of course, knew this, and said without the slightest pressure, "He believes in Taoism, the traditional religion of China. His parents were believers in Buddhism, but not devout believers. ”
chatting about home cooking, eating breakfast, and of course, preparing for Christmas; Although Zhang Hao is not a Christian, although he is not the head of the family, there are some things that cannot be done.
For example, he and Adrian are responsible for decorating the Christmas tree, and for example, he and Christina take Xixi to buy Christmas gifts.
"It's good to give my dad a pen, and a handbag to my mom. Ade, well, I'm not very in favor of it, but I think it's the console that's the best, and he's going to like it. ”
Christina's proposal was very good, and Zhang Hao didn't feel inappropriate; He is rich, so naturally he will not be too stingy. Just giving gifts is not necessarily about giving luxury goods like nouveau riche, this is not the time to show off your wealth, of course, giving gifts needs to be practical.
However, Zhang Hao always felt that something was wrong, and he asked curiously, "Did you prepare a gift for me?" I don't seem to see you preparing a gift for me. Isn't that right, my dear, since we are preparing for Christmas, we need Christmas presents. ”
Christina stared at Zhang Hao with wide eyes and asked strangely, "Don't you have a car, isn't that your Christmas gift?" ”
Well, Zhang Hao thinks Christina is right; His new coupe has been sent back, although it was sent back before Christmas, and he has gone for a ride several times, and it is naturally good to have a great car, which is also a Christmas present.
It's just that Zhang Hao suddenly felt that something was wrong, wasn't that car a gift to himself, didn't it mean that he was rewarded for working hard to make money? Why is it that now that everyone in the family doesn't give them gifts, this shouldn't be!
Very depressed, but Zhang Hao felt that it was very likely that Christina wanted to surprise him; It's better to be patient, Zhang Hao is not like Xixi, this little girl is not ready to like surprises at all now, this little girl is now pointing to the cute doll, and her eyes can't be taken off at all.
Since Mom and Dad said that they would buy a gift for Xixi, the little guy is of course quite happy, and now he has chosen a gift.
After getting the Christmas presents, of course, you also need to buy some new clothes; Xixi is very happy, because the Christmas dinner has Xixi's favorite, although it is corn porridge, but such corn porridge has a layer of cream on top, which is naturally more in line with Xixi's appetite.
Christmas on the ranch is quiet and comfortable, but in the big city there is a different atmosphere.
For example, the Christmas parade, which is also very popular in the United States; There is Santa Claus and dancing Christmas elves, which makes Xixi quite happy, because the little girl rarely experiences such a thing, it is very lively and interesting.
In addition to the Christmas parade and the Christmas party, Mark was very happy to take a large family to the Christmas party; Everyone dressed up, and they basically had a Christmas atmosphere.
Mark's colleagues and good friends have a very harmonious atmosphere; The adults drank and chatted together, and Xixi had already followed other children to play games in the toy room, which was very happy for Xixi, because she still rarely had the opportunity to play games with so many children, so that she still remembered it when she went home.
As for things like Christmas gifts, there is no need to rush, especially Adrian, this kid is basically ready to receive Christmas gifts. As for Xixi, the little girl is very crazy and tired, and she has been having fun for the past two days; And I don't know the concept of Christmas gifts, the little girl sleeps very firmly among her parents and sleeps very soundly.
As for Zhang Hao and Christina, they still have to prepare Christmas gifts for their families; Of course, there is also a little anticipation, looking forward to receiving Christmas gifts.
