Chapter 2 Dinner
Evening.
It was already dark outside, and the Joe family was sitting at the dining table preparing to eat.
Joe's mother, Mary, had already prepared dinner.
"I'll serve the food." Carol noticed that Joe had been staring at her, and felt weak, and slipped away with the next sentence. Now that Qiao is angry, she naturally has to avoid Qiao if she does something bad, although it is all on the ground at home, but she can hide for a while.
Soon, Carol and Mary had all the food ready.
After sitting down separately, Mary saw that Joe had not moved the utensils for a long time, and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter, Joe?" Why don't you eat? I made your favorite grilled lamb chops today, is it because you have a bad appetite? ”
"I don't really want to eat it." Joe replied sullenly, his little money was taken by someone and a half, and he was distressed to death, and he had no appetite at all.
"My baby, what's wrong with you?" Mary was very worried when she heard that Joe didn't want to eat, because Joe usually eats a lot, and today she suddenly didn't want to eat, so she thought Joe was sick. "Baby, are you sick? Come, let me touch your head, will you have a fever? ”
"No, I'm in good health, but I'm sick and can't eat," Joe replied.
"Kid, what's wrong with you?" Mary felt that Joe was very abnormal today, this situation is rare, usually Joe is well-behaved and obedient, and he is in good health, unless...
Mary thought of a possibility, and she looked at John, who was snickering there. So she understood. "It must have been Carol who did it."
"Carol, what did you do to your brother?" Mary asked.
"I didn't do anything, I just used a little of him." Carol replied a little weakly.
"What did you use Joe?" Mary continued to ask.
"Yes, yes..." Carol was embarrassed to speak.
"She used the money I saved, it was three dollars, and I was lucky enough to save it, and she used a small half of it." Seeing that Carol didn't say anything, Joe couldn't help it and said it out loud. Joe is so angry, this bear child sister, it's too pitiful! Where is the younger brother's money, isn't it all the sister who gives the younger brother's money? That money is the principal of your future development!
"You spent Joe's money?" Mary asked. "Not yet." Joe added on the side.
"Mary, you know, last time Pamir invited me to eat, I will definitely invite it back, I have run out of money recently, so I happened to use Joe's little money" Carol knew that what she did was wrong, she was very weak, and gestured with her hand, "I took a little bit, Joe still has a lot, besides, I will definitely return it to Joe." ”
"I don't believe it," shouted Joe, "the last time Carol borrowed money from me, I haven't paid it back!" Joe didn't believe it at all, Carol spends money every day, how can he have the money to pay him back? This time Carol has gone even further, and it is already considered stealing! , he decided to teach this little girl a lesson, otherwise, his little savings would be spent by Carol sooner or later. He still needs money to be used as start-up capital in the future! , I am not stingy, for the future, save a little more money now, and I will have more money in the future! They are all relatives, and if they have money in the future, Carol will be rich! Now Carol is too young to understand these truths, but she will know when she grows up. Joe thought silently to himself.
"Carol, apologize to Joe!" Mary thinks it's not a trivial matter, there isn't much money, but Carol's behavior is serious. "You're stealing!" Mary repeated.
"I don't!" Carol was taken aback by Mary's stern tone, but then the temper came, "I said I would pay him back!" Carol yelled.
"But you took Joe's money without his consent!" Mary continued. "You're not doing the right thing"
"I, I," Carol realized, too, but she loved face and didn't want to apologize to her brother, but the first time Mary was so stern, she was a little anxious, and there were tears rolling in her eyes.
Seeing that this thing is a little off, and let it develop, even if Carol apologizes, she will hate herself to death, Joe thinks that she will accept it when she sees it, "Carol, you will give me back the money, right?"
"Of course, I will definitely pay you back this time, and I will go to deliver the newspaper on the weekend and earn money to pay you back!" Carol said to Joe angrily, after all, she was still a child, even if she knew that she had made a mistake, but she blamed Joe for being taught a lesson by her mother, so her tone was a little bad.
"You..." Mary was about to say something when Joe interrupted her. "Okay, you must pay me back, let's eat" Seeing that Joe didn't mind anymore, Mary didn't know what to say.
"Wow, Mom, your grilled lamb chops are getting better and better!" Seeing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Joe came out to be active.
"Really? Eat more if you like. ”
"Okay, I'll take care of the rest!" Joe exclaimed.
"I want it too!" Carol was eating depressed there, and when she saw that Joe was going to add lamb chops, she was not to be outdone. She also loves Mary's grilled lamb chops, but she can't be cheaper Joe! , Carol thought to herself.
"Okay, I'll add it to both of you!" Mary saw that the two children were all right, and her mood was much happier, so she said gently.
"Ahem" Someone saw that he was being ignored, so he coughed twice. "Yours too," Mary gave John a blank look, then got up and walked to the kitchen.
After eating, the family sat on the sofa in the living room and chatted.
"By the way," John seemed to think of something, "I'm going to Boston tomorrow, are you going?" Joe hasn't been out of town yet, so how about taking you out tomorrow? ”
"Okay," was Carol's voice.
"Good," replied Joe, who was eager to go out and see it too.
"That's it, I'll take you tomorrow to see my idol Steve Rogers," John laughed.
"You want to see it yourself!" Mary mended the knife on the side. She doesn't know her husband yet?
"This is a tradition of our Danfoss family!" John said, "The tradition that will be inherited from me!" ”
"Steve Rogers, Captain America?" Joe thought to himself that he often heard John mention the name, "I didn't expect John to be a comic book fan"
"Dad, shall we go to the playground tomorrow?" Carol asked if she had been to the playground since the last time she had been there, and that Joe hadn't been there last time.
"Go, go," John said with a smile.
"yes, that's great," Carol almost didn't jump.
They chatted a little longer, mainly Carol chirping, and then went back to their rooms. Before returning to the room, Carol blushed and threw a "sorry" at Joe and ran back to the room.
Lying in bed, Joe had some insomnia. Tomorrow is going to the city of this era, I don't know what the situation is, Joe is looking forward to it, in the future, it will be the front station for him to show his talents.
After thinking about it for a while, Joe was a little sleepy. He wanted to sleep.
"Good night," Joe shouted to Carol's room next to her, which Carol had requested. No, no.
"Good Night"
