Chapter 144: Annie's Work (Asking for a Ticket to Burst the Chrysanthemum)
When Anne came over, Zhen Fan was already preparing dinner in the kitchen, Anne and Claire came over together, Julia opened the door and hugged Claire over, Claire was very obedient and did not play, but watched TV very quietly, and did not go to the kitchen to happily "harass" Zhen Fan.
Julia is one of the people Anne can talk to, and of course Zhen Fan. There is really no one else else, even Angela, the two of them do not have such a personal close friend. I always feel that I am a little worse than Zhen Fan and Julia.
"Damn it!" Julia was a little dissatisfied with Thomas's empathy and divorce decision, although the divorce rate in the United States accounted for about 50 percent, for many American children, Juilliard still felt sympathy for Anne because of the family form that their parents were not family.
"Leave Thomas alone, I think you deserve a fresh start!" Julia began to give Anne an idea, "Claire can't just live with you, she has to have a whole family!" ”
"I know!" Anne smiled wryly, "I haven't thought about a new life yet, I don't have time to think about it, everything is too urgent, really, Julie, I still have to listen to Claire's opinion, after all, she is always the first in my life now!" ”
"Well, she's going to have to be satisfied, she's too young now!" Julia sighed, shook her head, and stroked Claire's hair.
Claire, who was watching TV, looked up at Julia, pursed her lips, and suddenly asked, "Aunt Julie." Are you introducing a boyfriend to your mom? I know, Daddy is moving out! ”
"yes, Claire needs to find another father who likes you. All right? Julia smiled, but reluctantly.
Claire nodded, looked at Julia very seriously, and seemed to have a somewhat pleading tone: "Aunt Julie, Uncle Zhen likes Claire very much, Claire also likes Uncle Zhen very much, and Uncle Zhen is also a man like Dad." Can he be mom's boyfriend? ”
"Ugh!" Julia looked at Claire in amazement, as if choked on something, and her mouth opened. No sound came out.
Anne had already blushed and glared at Claire fiercely, but she looked at the back of Zhen Fan, who was busy in the kitchen, with a little weakness, and her heart became flustered for no reason. Jump fast.
"Claire. Don't talk nonsense, how can Uncle Zhen be his mother's boyfriend? Anne pressed her heart and said to Claire very seriously, "Also, Uncle Zhen is Aunt Christine's boyfriend, so she can't do it anymore...... What about someone else's boyfriend? I can't say anything like that again! ”
Anne hated to say it, but in front of Julia and Claire, she had to. It can also be used to hide your panicked look.
"But...... But I like Uncle Zhen! Claire's eyes flickered for a long time, and then she said this sentence very aggrievedly. Then he looked at Anne pleadingly.
"Alright, Claire, don't bother Mommy!" Julia hurriedly relieved Anne, "A woman can't have two boyfriends at the same time, and in the same way, a man can't have two girlfriends at the same time. Since Uncle Zhen is Aunt Stuart's boyfriend, he can't be his mother's girlfriend! Do you understand? ”
Claire nodded, and then shook her head blankly: "I like Uncle Zhen!" ”
"I like Claire too!" Just as Zhen Fan came out with the dishes, he heard Claire's words, couldn't help laughing, put the dishes on the table, and then walked to the living room and kissed Claire's face. Then he got up and was about to go to the kitchen to continue the fight, when Claire stopped him.
"Uncle Zhen!" Seeing that Zhen Fan was leaving, Claire hurriedly shouted.
"Claire!"
Anne and Julia both screamed nervously, so loudly that Claire was startled that her open mouth didn't make a sound. This voice also stunned Zhen Fan, what's wrong? These two women.
"Mom. I didn't say anything! Claire turned to look at Anne and then at Julia, "Are you nervous?" Aunt Julie, weishenme, your face is so red too? ”
"Well, Claire, you win!" Julia really blushed, "As long as you don't speak, okay?" That's the only requirement for me to throw in the towel! ”
"I see, where's Mom?"
"What do you want? Claire! Anne touched Claire's head and asked with a smile.
"I don't want anything, Mom." Claire turned around and hugged Anne's waist, "Including Mommy's new boyfriend." Claire has a mother, Uncle Zhen, and Aunt Julie! ”
"New boyfriend?" Zhen Fan couldn't understand what these three women were talking about? But he still heard the "new boyfriend", and couldn't help but look at Anne differently, why didn't he know anything about it?
"No, there's no such thing as a new boyfriend!" Anne's face flushed again.
Zhen Fan couldn't help but smile, he didn't care about these three women, no matter how young Claire was, she had become an elf and eccentric woman, three women in one play, and the United States was no exception.
Dinner was very authentic American. A thick soup is served, followed by steak, ham, fried shrimp, vegetable salad, bread, and cheese.
Zhen Fan also took a bottle of wine out, his own wine. It seems that Anne and Julia need to drink a little, one needs to anesthetize their broken hearts, and the other needs to heal the horrific memories of the past.
Claire didn't jump up and down today, even when she was praying, she seemed very well-behaved, no longer smiling and holding hands with Zhen Fan or making small movements to be funny.
"Mom, I thanked God just now for bringing Uncle Zhen to me!" Claire's first words when she opened her eyes made Anne angry.
"Am I Claire's food?" Zhen Fan smiled and winked at Claire.
"No, it's my favorite food, it's not vegetable salad, it's grilled shrimp!" Claire also winked at Zhen Fan, "And steak and cheese!" ”
Immediately, everyone at the table burst into laughter.
The laughter at dinner diluted a lot of emotions, so the atmosphere was still very pleasant, Zuihou came with a cup of coffee, Zhen Fan talked with them, and talked about Anne's preparation to go out to find a job, and the matter of hiring a nanny.
"Wait, what did you just say?" Julia couldn't help but say to Anne, "You just talked about work?" Is it? Annie! ”
"Yes, what's the problem?" Anne looked at Julia's surprised expression, couldn't help but be stunned, and asked with some hesitation, "I have to prepare for Claire, I don't want to have a hard time." ”
"No, that's not what I meant!" Julia couldn't help but laugh, "I'm just a little surprised, besides, I have a brilliant idea, if Zhen allows it, I'll say it and listen to it." ”
"What idea do you want my permission for?" Zhen Fan looked at Julia, and suddenly pointed at her, as if he understood, and glanced at Anne again, and couldn't help laughing.
"Did you think of a piece?" Anne couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, "Is it about my job search?" ”
"Yes, that's right!" Julia said with some eagerness, "You know I've been working at Zhen's clinic right now, right?" Annie! ”
"Yes, but what does this have to do with me?" Anne looked at Julia with some confusion. She wouldn't have thought of what Julia would say to her.
Julia held her hand and smiled, "It's a job that pays well, it was Zoe who used to do Zhen's guiding and service work, but you know, Zoe has gone to North Carolina, so I took her place, and now I'm going to finish my school, and there's a lot of stuff waiting for me, so I'm leaving too!" ”
"Then the spot will be vacant!" Anne looked at Julia and smiled, "I can take over your job until you or Zoe come back, right?" ”
"If you want, you can retire, and I can also pay you a large pension!" Zhen Fan took it at this time and smiled, "Yes, I did think so just now." You come and help me, I'll pay you, and it saves me the time to hire people again! ”
"I know your intentions, but ...... Can I think again? Anne looked at Zhen Fan's eyes and became more and more gentle, "I do need a job, but I haven't figured out what to do yet, if I'm sure, I'll tell you, it won't be long!" ”
"Haode, Annie, don't push yourself, but don't let yourself avoid something, this job is of course friendship, but it is also the relationship between the employer and the employee. You can distinguish clearly, don't be emotional! Zhen Fan would have expected what Anne might be thinking, so to help her, she had to block her so-called self-esteem.
"I know!" Anne nodded, every time she wanted to think of something, Zhen Fan would always say something that made her feel gratified. After all, she does want a job, but the chances of her finding a job with a good salary are very small, she is really tempted by Zhen Fan and Julia's proposal, but what Zhen Fan thinks, her own self-esteem is at work.
"That's it!" Julia seemed to want to call the shots for Anne, and her tone was unmistakably firm.
Anne hurriedly shook her hand: "Don't, I have to think about it!" ”
"Okay, I'll wait for your reply, you can come and tell me in person, or you can give me a call!" Zhen Fan smiled, "However, I still hope you can tell me in person!" ”
"I will!" Anne nodded, "When I decide again." ”
"Alright, I have to go!" Julia was happy to see that the matter had been settled, so she stood up and took her leave, "Zaijian!" ”
"Remember what you promised me!" Zhen Fan shouted at Julia, who had already arrived at the door.
"Of course, wait for me!"
Anne looked at Zhen Fan suspiciously.
"I'm going to get a driver's license, and she promised to come with me!" Zhen Fan explained.
Anne looked at Zhen Fan's clumsy gesture and smiled: "Actually, you don't have to explain!" (To be continued......)
