The French teacher replied quickly, using the most decent letter paper instead of the cheap paper that he had at hand. The words are concise, but every stroke reveals the romance and elegance of French.

Anna put away the paper, held Seryosha's face in both hands and said, "Then you can go and change your clothes." ”

"Am I allowed to?"

"Yes, so hurry up, I think your father hated such a thing as being late all his life."

Seryosha cheered with his dimples out, and he took Anna's hand, indicating that he needed his mother to help him choose the most suitable dress.

Anna tied Seryosha with a dark tweed waistcoat, a dark velvet tuxedo jacket, and a cleanly washed neckline, and Anna tied a dark bow tie for Seryosha, and slightly crooked it to make it more playful in order to match the image of a child.

Seryosha seemed to be interested in the bow tie, which was not boxy, and was still fiddling with them in a small mirror after getting into the carriage.

"I like to look in the mirror, but that's what little girls like to do." Anna deliberately teased him.

Seryosha did not blush, but smiled and said seriously: "I am a gentleman, and I must pay attention to my image at all times." After saying that, he fiddled with it for a while before he put down the mirror in his hand with satisfaction.

"The wax seems to be a bit too much." Anna continued to smile and look at Seryosha's hair, the originally fluffy curls were now fixed by hair wax, and she did look like a meticulous little gentleman, but her face was slightly chubby.

Seryosha touched his hair and frowned: "Actually, it makes me very uncomfortable, but the necessary etiquette is still needed." ”

After speaking, he looked up at Anna seriously, and wondered, "Doesn't my father feel uncomfortable?" ”

"I think he's just used to it."

Seryosha sighed softly, lamenting that he was not yet at home in kung fu, because he was afraid that he would not be able to help scratching his hair later.

Anna listened to Seryosha's fairy tales, and it didn't take long for them to arrive at the door of the theater, and Karenin did not stand in a prominent position, like the kind of man holding a bucket of popcorn waiting for a date, on the contrary, he had already indicated that he would wait for her by the window in the café next door.

When Anna and Seryosha walked up to Karenin, the latter frowned.

"You should have been in class at this time, Seryosha." Karenin said.

Seryosha moved closer to Anna.

"I brought him here, and he did a good job of reciting in the morning, didn't he? And I've already talked to Mr. Brown and Mr. Kolch, and Seryosha promised to write a review in French when I get back. Anna said.

Karenin relaxed his brows, he looked at his son, and said with a stern face: "This is unreasonable, Seryosha, I told you that at your age, the most important thing to do is to restrain your playful nature and learn more knowledge, and in the future, you will always sigh that there is not enough time when you reach my age." ”

After Anna felt Seryosha's little head slowly lower, before she could speak, Karenin said: "There are twenty-five minutes left to leave the scene, and the play has two hours, and since you have missed the afternoon tea time today, you can order your favorite now, and we will go in five minutes early after eating." ”

After listening to Karenin's words, Anna swallowed the words that came to her lips and smiled a little.

She looked down at Seryosha, who also blinked.

"I want a big bird's milk cake." Seryosha said to Karenin.

Karenin realized that his son's words were about wanting and not about him, so he frowned slightly, and then temporarily gave up correcting Seryosha's impolite language, and instead said: "I think you may not be able to eat enough for you." ”

Seryosha didn't like the feeling of being dismissed, especially since he was already happy, so he twisted a little and said, "I think I can finish it, and I really want to." After he finished speaking, he looked at his father, and the same blue eyes were so big that he couldn't bear to refuse.

Karenin looked at Anna: "What do you want to eat?" Anna. ”

"Smukwa." Anna said that when Karenin beckoned the waiter to come and order, she knew that Seryosha had succeeded.

So, who is spreading rumors that these high-ranking officials called Karenin are ruthless and cold-hearted?

Or, his political opponents should look at the weakness of this high-ranking official, the writhing monster who is happy to get a large portion of bird's milk cake.

"If I betray this information to Karenin's political enemies, will I get a fortune?" She amused herself in her heart, and then waited for her dried fruit.

"Aren't you going to have something?" Anna asked, noticing that Karenin didn't give herself anything.

"Not at the moment." Karenin pursed his lips and said.

Anna didn't ask anymore. When the two of them asked for something, she immersed herself in the food in public.

Eight minutes later, Smukva was gone on the table, but a third of the bird's milk cake was still there, and Seryosha looked like he couldn't eat it anymore, and he was slowly reluctant to move his dessert fork.

"You should finish it." Karenin spoke.

Seryosha looked at his cake bitterly, but he just didn't want to move the fork.

Once again, Karenin sternly said: "Wasting food is a very bad act. And I've told you before that it's very likely that you won't be able to finish eating, and you should understand that sometimes you have to listen to other people's opinions properly, and not do something stupid according to your own temperament. ”

Seryosha nodded weakly.

For Karenin to reason with Seryosha, the tone is stricter, but Anna will not care. She didn't want Seryosha to be a little flower in a greenhouse, and her attention was now focused on what would happen to the third of the cake after a while.

Option one, because they are not bad for money so it is wasted.

Option two, Seryosha holds on, and then he may have a little indigestion.

The third option is the conventional treatment method, where someone else eats it, and this person is usually the mother who does it for him. But there was no doubt that this was the least desirable for Anna, because she would not eat it, and given that she would eat or not eat at this point, the bonus points would not bring her much benefit.

So, Anna just watched a little casually, and unlike normal development, as a good mother, in order to avoid wasting food, she put the leftover food from her son's stomach.

It didn't take long for Karenin, after making sure that Seryosha really couldn't eat, he took the plate in front of his son, asked the waiter to take another fork, and then ate them quickly but not ugly, and finally he wiped his lips, still glancing at his son with some reproach.

"I hope that by the time dinner comes, you'll know how to put that into practice and show me. Don't have a next time, Seryosha. ”

Seryosha nodded obediently.

Anna looked at the father and son, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she thought to herself: What drama am I still looking forward to at this time, just in front of me.

And what their family doesn't know is how warm and lovely this qiē is in the eyes of outsiders.
