Chapter 139: The Girl and the Dog

A small port in Texas where the sea breeze carries the smell of fish across the dirty docks. A flock of seagulls circled around the pier, turning round and round, refusing to fly far.

Dock workers busily carry goods off the ship, up and down.

During work, workers chatter about news gossip and so on, consciously or unconsciously.

"Hey! Did you hear that Alex is going to have a concert in Houston? ”

"Alex? Which Alex! ”

"No, you don't even know about this news? It's Alex Carpenter! He's on tour to Texas, and it's said that a lot of people are going to hear him sing. ”

"Oh, that Alex you're talking about! I know this, hasn't he been touring for more than a month, and now he's only coming to Houston! ”

The Carpenter brothers have long been household names in the United States, especially after the release of "The Sound of Music", Alex's name has long spread throughout the world. The 16-year-old young director, who broke the box office champion record of "Gone with the Wind" in one movie, looks like a story in a legendary novel.

A lot of attention was paid to Alex's first tour, and his fans wanted to rush to the scene to cheer. These dockers are no exception, and they're Carpenter fans.

"I've heard that concert tickets are very expensive, the cheap ones cost dozens of dollars, and the expensive ones cost hundreds of dollars!"

"No matter how expensive it is, some people will watch it, after all, this is his first tour, and if you want to wait until the next time, I don't know when Lu Dao will be."

"Huh? Why didn't I know that you were a Carpenter fan? ”

"I've been a fan of their brother for a long time, and you know the 'easter egg' in the last movie. It was discovered by a girl from my next door, and Port Arthur was very lively at that time! ”

"Yes, yes! I also watched that easter egg, and it was very touching! I cried when I saw it, the baroness was so pathetic! ”

It's been more than a year since the last sensational "Easter Egg Incident", and Port Arthur has really become a hot place name in the news. Many Americans know that there is a Port Arthur in Texas, and Jennis, the girl who found the "hidden Easter egg", is quickly forgotten.

Jennis, who is a year older, is 15 years old, and she is still so ugly, and the clothes she wears are still so old-fashioned. Looking at her from behind, it will definitely make people mistake her for a boy. If you see her front, many people will think how someone looks so ugly.

Someone would say of Janis's physiognomy as follows: "It's as if God had taken a nap when He created her, and ended up with a featureless defect." ”

When she first discovered the "easter egg", she became "that girl" in everyone's mouth! Many reporters came to interview her and asked her how she found the "easter egg" hidden in the movie!

Originally, she thought that God had finally begun to favor her poor man, and that her life would no longer be ordinary from now on. But I didn't expect that when the heat of this news passed, people still looked at her with the eyes of the past. I think she's still so ugly, and no one wants to get along with her or play with her.

Janis had just had hope for her future life, but unfortunately, she had lost it before she could grasp it in her hands. Feelings of depression, despair, low self-esteem, and self-pity once again shrouded her, and if it weren't for the existence of the music she likes in this world, maybe she wouldn't have been able to hold on for a long time.

Whenever she felt depressed and hopeless, she would run back to listen to music, draw and compose poetry! She especially likes to listen to the Carpenter brothers' songs, and now they have a younger sister and become the Carpenter siblings.

"Ah, how I wish it was their sister!"

Jennith sometimes envies Karen for being so unfair to God for why Karen is so smart, cute and beautiful, and has two good brothers.

"Even if I can't be their sister, then I might as well be their friend! Do you say yes, ugly! ”

Jenniz has no friends because she is so ugly, and her words are addressed to an ugly-looking earth dog next to her.

From childhood to adulthood, no child wants to play with her. Even the children who play with her are people who want to play tricks on her. The more times she was teased, she could quickly tell who was the one who really wanted to be nice to her and who was the one who wanted to trick her.

Ugly is a dog, a dog she picked up.

When the dog was picked up, it was still a puppy. It was on a rainy day, and she was walking alone in the rain when she found the dog, which was crawling like a moving mop, struggling through the rain.

"Dog! Dog, what's wrong with you? ”

Janis crouched down and touched the dog's head with her hand, and soon found that the dog's leg was injured and he couldn't stand up.

"Dog, are you being bullied? Who is so ruthless! ”

"Woohoo!"

The puppy shouted weakly, as if he would die at any moment.

She found that the dog was too ugly, as ugly as she was. Maybe that's why he was abandoned by his master and was injured. She picked up the dog and brought it home.

At first, the family was reluctant to raise such an ugly dog. They felt that it was difficult for them to eat enough, and how could they take care of an ugly puppy. The dog was also injured, and I don't know when he will die.

"No, no! Mom and Dad, I'll keep it! I'm going to make money to raise it! ”

The little girl, who was only 10 years old at the time, cried as if she had been abandoned, which was really sad for those who heard it.

In the end, her parents were reluctant to allow the ugly earth dog to be kept. After four or five years of raising it like this, it is still an ugly dog when it grows up.

Jennis's name the dog was "Ugly"! She treats the dog very well, very well.

Every time she had something to eat, she would always give it to Ugly. But even so, Ah Chou still can't eat, but fortunately, he knows how to run out of Lu to find something to eat. Eat whatever you see, Ugly is never a picky eater.

In five years, the ugly girl grew into an ugly girl, and the ugly puppy grew into an ugly big dog.

In the past five years, Jennis has experienced many things, such as liking listening to music, painting, writing poetry, and so on. Then there's shaving your head, pretending to be a boy and wanting to blend in with the boys, or falling in love with the Carpenter brothers' songs and discovering mysterious easter eggs in their movies.

In the eyes of others, Janis has not only become ugly, but also very strange, with a somewhat extreme personality, and people don't like to be with her anymore.

With Ugly by her side, those who don't like her are even farther away from her. That's fine, no one will bully her ugly anymore.

Ugly is very fierce, whoever dares to bully Janis will bark at that person, if he is not afraid of this, Ugly will bite. It's really going to bite.,Once I almost bit out of an accident.,Fortunately, the other party didn't have a problem.,A false alarm.。

The news of Alex's tour this time, she has been paying attention to it for a long time.

Jennis, who has been saving money, also wants to go to concerts, see for herself what Alex looks like, and listen to Alex's songs.

Now she works three jobs at the same time, and she is busy from morning to morning every day, just to save enough money to go to the concert. This is her biggest goal in life, she must go to Alex's concert!

Perhaps because he liked the music of the same person, Janis found a partner. It's not true to say that they are partners, in fact, they just work in the same place, and the two sides don't know each other very well.

Jennis, who works as a salesperson in the same shop as Jenny, arrives later than she does.

Jenny was a beautiful blonde girl, fifteen years old, just like Jennis. They only met because of work, and at the beginning, Jenny didn't know much about work, so she asked Jennis about this.

After chatting a few times, they realized that everyone liked Carpenter's songs. This brought the two closer a lot, after all, they had a common topic.

"Naa! I think Alex's song "An Angel" is better than Richard's "Mommy Says". What do you think! ”

Jenny is a girl who talks a lot, and every time she has free time, she talks about Alex or Richard, which one sings better, and which one writes more beautiful songs.

Janis also likes Richard, only she prefers Alex. Every time she argued, she would always be on Alex's side. She felt that every song of Alex would be unexpected and good.

Jenny was different, she liked Richard more than Alex. In her words, Richard is so cute and cute, of course Richard is better!

There were two of them, one was ugly, the other was pretty, the other was old-fashioned, and the other was fashionable. But they came together because of the same topic and became good friends who talked about everything.

But the time of this kind of good friend is limited to working hours, and once she gets off work, Jenny will be far away from Jennis, she is always on dates, and she is always chased. Jenny spends a lot more money on eating, drinking, and having fun every day than Jennis.

"Hey, Jennis, why don't you have to buy good clothes with the money you earn from your part-time job. You're too saving, aren't you? ”

Jenny sometimes asks like this, in her opinion, girls should dress beautifully. In this way, the value of women will be reflected, and men will chase them. If you make so much money and don't spend a penny, you're so sorry for yourself.

"I still have to save money to watch Alex's concert, and I can't spend money indiscriminately!"

"Huh? You're also going to a concert, and it's expensive to pay for travel and tickets! You can't do without $200! ”

Indeed, the ticket price of Alex's concert is not affordable for ordinary people. If you add in the cost of travel, lodging, and other miscellaneous expenses, $200 is not enough for Janis to go to the concert.
