Chapter 179: Better Tomorrow (Ask for Subscription!) )
Today, Chinese New Year's Eve.
Because of the time difference, after Mike got up early in the morning, he also watched the gala.
As a middle-aged and elderly person who misses the old, he looks at this thing every year, and he always feels that something is missing when he doesn't look at it.
Breakfast was prepared for Gwen, and after sending Gwen to school, she prepared it leisurely by herself.
In the afternoon, after school, Gwen watched Mike busy, and Gwen began to help with great interest.
Gwen said happily but curiously, "Dad, what day is today?" ”
"Spring Festival, an ancient festival in China."
Mike, who was standing in the doorway, explained, pasting the couplet.
"Spring Festival?" Gwen read it, and then smiled happily.
She doesn't care about the festival there, as long as it's a holiday, she is happy.
"Hey! Luke! Uncle John! ”
Gwen turned her head, saw the father and son, waved her hands, and said, "We want to celebrate the Spring Festival." ”
"Spring Festival?"
Luke looked at his father suspiciously.
John smiled, "It's a festival in China. ”
Then he looked at Mike curiously and said, "Mike, why did you celebrate this festival?" ”
Mike smiled and said, "Because it's important to me." ”
John nodded and said, "Is there anything you can help with?" ”
Mike raised the couplet in his hand and said, "Come, paste it together, this represents good luck." ”
Does it represent good luck?
John groaned and walked over with a smile.
After pasting the couplet, John wanted to leave, but Michael felt that it was too cold for him and Gwen, so he left father and son behind.
As it got dark, Mike was busy in the kitchen.
For today's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, he specially made a character card last night.
Finally, when he brought a plate of carved jade dragons and a plate of winged phoenixes made of bean sprouts, the three Gwen were stunned when they looked at the dish that was comparable to a work of art.
"Haha! Don't just look at it! ”
Mike brought a drink and wine and said, "Eat!" ”
"I can't bear to spoil it." John sighed and said, "It's a work of art, Mike you should go to a cooking competition." ”
Mike smiled and said, "The food is made to eat." ”
With that, Mike was the first to make a move, picking up a piece of beef and placing it in Gwen's bowl.
Gwen didn't care about her crumbling front teeth at all, and immediately stuffed the meat into her mouth, but it was burned, her little hand fanned her mouth, and her mouth was still inhaling cold air, but no matter what, she just refused to spit out the beef in her mouth.
"You glutton!"
Mike smiled and nodded Gwen and handed the drink over.
Gwen took a sip and breathed comfortably, seeing John's father and son looking at her, their faces flushed slightly, and they picked up a piece of meat and blew it twice on the side of their mouths, but they didn't think about it......
Let's go!
A front tooth flew out and fell on the table.
The scene was silent, and Gwen turned her head to look at Mike in a daze.
The corners of Mike's mouth twitched, but he couldn't hold back.
"Hahahaha!"
John and Luke, who were on the other side, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Gwen's originally slightly red face instantly became the same as the little monkey's ass.
Mike couldn't help but laugh and said to John, "I'll take care of it." ”
John smiled, picked up the tooth and handed it to Gwen, and said, "Put it away, it is said that the little tooth fairy will come to collect your teeth at night, and then your teeth will slowly grow." ”
Gwen was pleasantly surprised: "Really? ”
"Yes!" John handed his teeth over and said, "However, she will only come in your dreams, so you should sleep well at night!" “
Gwen nodded vigorously.
"Let's go, go rinse your mouth."
After Mike dragged Gwen into the bathroom and asked Gwen to rinse her mouth, he found a small bag, put Gwen's teeth in place, and handed it to Gwen.
Gwen carefully put it away and opened her mouth to smile, and the smile with a missing front tooth was particularly cute.
Back at the dinner table, Gwen continues to wrestle with the delicious Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
Mike, on the other hand, took out two glasses and said to John, "Taste? Huaguo liquor. ”
John hesitated and said, "Okay." ”
After taking a sip of wine, John drank a little violently, choked on a sip, and coughed all over his face, but he felt the spicy heat that rushed directly from his mouth to his stomach, but he was suddenly fascinated by this feeling.
It's painful, but it's refreshing.
He likes it.
I couldn't help but take another sip of my glass.
Mike raised an eyebrow and said, "John, drink slowly." ”
John nodded, his face flushed slightly, and Mike struck up a conversation as he drank his wine.
The more he drank, Mike didn't feel anything, but his neighbor was a little drunk, talked a lot, and told his story.
The family was happy and happy, but on the same morning as usual, the police suddenly came to the door to break the peace, and in front of him and Luke, they arrested his wife for 'murder'.
Although all the evidence points to her wife, her wife insists that she is innocent.
John and his son Luke were also convinced of this, and for the past two years, John has been looking for evidence to try to save his wife.
"Mike, you know what?" John's eyes were blank, he looked down at the clear wine in the glass, and said with difficulty: "Every time I go to the prison to see her, it is a torment for her and for me. ”
Luke lowered his head, his mood quickly lowering.
Mike took the glass, touched John's, and said, "I trust you." ”
John shook his body and said, "Thank you." ”
Mike raised his glass slightly, looked at the current time, and said, "The last glass, you can't drink it again tonight." ”
John smiled innocently and raised his glass.
Mike paused slightly, raised his glass at eight o'clock, and said, "I wish you a better tomorrow." ”
John: "Tomorrow, better!" ”
At the same time, Charles of X Academy, as well as Eric, who was thousands of miles away, and Clark, who was wandering outside, also raised the cup in his hand when the needle of his watch reached eight o'clock, and shook it in the distance with a smile.
In the middle of the jungle, Clark put down the kettle, ate the grilled fish he had made, and nodded in satisfaction.
For so many years, he has not grown anything, but his cooking skills have improved.
He had almost traveled all over the world, and his heart was like a polished gem, becoming more and more dazzling and pure.
On the other side, Charles also put down his wine glass.
The Black Queen is about to start moving, and their plan is about to begin, and if the plan is successful, not only will School X be built, but Eric will also be able to control the Hellfire, and then the two brothers will be able to move on to the next step.
In response to this action of the other side, they formed a squad.
The team is already in place, just waiting for Eric's signal.
"Hopefully something goes well."
Charles was silent, suddenly patted his head, and muttered, "I don't know if my father has prepared New Year's money for us today." ”
