39. Shopping (ask for collection)
When John's car drove away, Peggy turned and walked home.
Peggy's mother, Linda, saw her daughter coming back and couldn't help but joke about her baby daughter:
"John went back, and you see the gift he bought for me, it seems to be a silk scarf. It seems that your friend bought a gift that took a lot of thought out of him. The flowers sent were also very good."
Linda took the silk scarf in her hand and held it over her shoulders and looked carefully at the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the bedroom...
Peggy held the flower that John had given her, and her face couldn't help but smile, unaffected by her mother's jokes.....
Linda watched her daughter's performance and said that she was talking more, her daughter has been smart and sensible since she was a child, and she does everything step by step, unlike her sister.
The most ignorant time was when she divorced her ex-husband, and Peggy showed her rebellion as a teenager.
But soon she came out of the shadow of her parents' divorce and separation.
Even considering the impact on him after the breakdown of his last marriage, he took the initiative to ask himself to accompany her from her hometown in Texas in the south of the United States to Boston in the east....
Sometimes Peggy doesn't take the initiative to communicate with herself, but she feels her own feelings as a mother, and now she finally has a friend of the same age who has come to Harvard University from her hometown of Texas, and she won't interfere.......
John returned home and called Peggy's landline, saying he had arrived home safely, and left his phone number........
In the days after entering the university, the academic pressure of Harvard's law school was relatively heavy in the eyes of ordinary people, while John's unusual energy and physical strength were quite easy to deal with......
John's performance in the class was not as outstanding as in high school, one is that Harvard University is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the world's pride of heaven gathers here, and the other is that John is clumsy and doesn't want to be a bird....
Al Woods has been doing badly lately, with the rest of her classmates alienating her, and the professors who teach her dislike the fact that this is out of step with Harvard Law School traditions, and feel that this student is glamorous and beautifully dressed every day.....
Most of the professors who taught were older and old-fashioned and old-fashioned, while Al Woods was immature and naΓ―ve, believing that people should be good people and that studying law was to make the world a better place.
But most people study for the high salary and social class of the lawyer....
In the library, John is looking for books for the next lesson.
John saw that Al was standing on tiptoe to find a book, and he couldn't read it anymore, so he reached out and helped her take it out and said:
"You should ask the caretaker for a footing box, don't shave your face."
Most law books are heavy, and the covers of the books are hard, and if you accidentally fall off the shelves, you may hurt people, so there are ladder-like boxes for libraries that are not tall enough.....
"Thank you, John Grayson. I've seen you in class."
Al Woods' thin shrill voice rang in John's ears in surprise....
In the library, you need to be quiet....
The corner of John's mouth smiled:
"Hello, Al Woods-san, you can call John. It seems that Professor Will is going to be impressed with you. β
Professor Will was the one who kicked Al Woods out of the classroom on the first day.....
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Al Woods' face, and then he smiled at John and said:
"Looks like I've made a bad impression on you. My friends call me Al, and Professor Will is right, I should be ready."
John shook his shoulders and said with a smile:
"It's alright, Al. Professor Will's teaching methods may be a bit old-fashioned, but she has no malicious intentions. If there is anything we don't understand in the future, we will discuss it together and learn together."
After that, John picked up his book and turned around and walked to the review area....
Al screamed a little touched and said:
"Thank you, John!"
Al sensed that there were good people on campus besides Emmett, the senior of the next class she met on a bench under a large tree downstairs in the teaching building after being kicked out of the classroom by Professor Will.
She was so ashamed that she wanted to drop out of school and go back to Los Angeles on the West Coast. At that time, he was about to cry, and after being accidentally discovered by Emmett, he comforted Al and said that after he was harassed by Professor Will for the first time, he endured the humiliation in his heart and ran to his dormitory before crying loudly, Al couldn't help laughing after hearing the question....
Al knew that Emmett might be trying to make fun of herself, so she recognized Emmett on the Harvard campus as the only friend besides her ex-boyfriend.
Just now, I had the recognition of another classmate, and it is very complicated to know that my situation in the class.....
The days that followed, John had a very pleasant life.
On weekdays, he has regular classes, libraries, dormitories, and occasionally participates in campus club activities.....
On weekends, he sometimes walks with Peggy, plays, and goes shopping.
Peggy on the commercial street remembers that his parents were divorced at that time, and he deliberately rebelled against the gangsters who studied TV.
He was also stealing things from the mall and framing Shelton, thinking about this Peggy's face with a look of chagrin, and looked at the overwhelmed John reproachfully.
Originally, John was shopping with Peggy on the commercial street in Boston, walking, and suddenly there was a coolness behind him, John stopped, turned around and glanced at Peggy who fell behind him, thinking that he didn't have any uncomfortable behavior just now, how did he feel that Peggy was a little wrong? The great aunt is here? .....
If Peggy had known what John was thinking, she would have waved her hand and punched him in the delicate face...
Sheldon is Peggy's sworn enemy, first, because she got her Ph.D. earlier than Shelton, and second, because Peggy beat him.
You must know that Sheldon is so big, although he has a strange temper, he often makes people unable to get off the stage. But everyone sees that he is young, and his appearance is delicate, and he will not care about him generally.
In high school, his brother was a member of the football team, his father was the coach of the football team, his mother was a well-known and warm person, and his sister was a friend all over the world. Grandma is a Texas woman who still has charm, and this kind of person is not easy to mess with in Texas....
But Sheldon was beaten up by Peggy anyway, and everyone thought he did it himself...
Here's how it happened:
At that time, because of her parents' divorce, Peggy secretly found cigarettes from her sister. Thinking about the idea of trying it, he was caught by his mother just before he lit it, and then he was grounded by his mother.
After that, the lockdown was replaced by an outdoor activity at a town church, a special program for children to show the teachings of the Bible and church activities for children.
That day, Peggy was bored in the class she hated (not religious), and then Sheldon and Missy, and Mary came in....
Out of boredom, Peggy tried what she learned from TV, taking lipstick and applying makeup...
Sheldon, the bear child, also looked helpless.........
The pastor was asking, "Children, who knows the Bible?" will not answer.
Sheldon disdainfully said that he knew how old he was, and Peggy didn't care that she did, and that she knew too, and that she said it from front to back according to when each character appeared in the Bible, and Sheldon said competitively that he would.
Peggy smiled and then changed from a witch to a good girl, and said the answer obediently, the priest was surprised and gave the prize to Peggy, and Peggy looked at Sheldon with a mocking face, saying that she was very happy....
You must know that Sheldon's competitiveness is his Kryptonite (Superman's weakness), and he was so angry at the time......
In the next few days, Sheldon took the various versions of the Bible and looked at it carefully, which made the whole family look at him with admiration, of course, except for Missy, everyone knew that Sheldon was disdainful of God, and even Mary, the mother who believed in God, often had headaches.
Now Sheldon is actually reading the Bible, and Missy is watching the excitement from the sidelines...
A few days later, Sheldon continued to attend the event, enthusiastically answering the Reverend's questions, but Peggy was a grim observer, saying that you were happy with irony...
This can anger Sheldon, and then tirelessly harass Peggy, Peggy is to see the tricks and dismantle them one by one, and then Sheldon finds his taboo...
Sheldon said that he was rebellious and sad because of his parents' divorce, and the reason for his parents' divorce was himself, which was a hornet's nest, and Peggy, who couldn't bear it, waved her right hand and punched Shelle directly.
Then Sheldon's left eye turned into a panda eye, and on the way home, Missy didn't forget to sarcastically say that Sheldon had brought it on himself, and Mary also knew the truth, so she could only comfort helplessly.....
Missy told John about this, and John joked with Sheldon about what happened, for which Sheldon ignored John for several days....
In the end, Peggy sees John again at Sheldon's house, and Peggy at that time can be described as a fall in life and underestimation, all kinds of pranks........
Peggy thought about what she had done before, and her face couldn't help but show the emotion of recollection....
John waved his hand in front of Peggy, Peggy rolled her eyes angrily, and walked forward with her own thoughts, John was at a loss.....
β......β
John was speechless and could only chase Peggy to catch up....
Of course, Peggy knew that she was distracted, but she was afraid that John would see her gaffe, so she would lose her temper. It would be incredible if someone who knew Peggy well in college saw it....
On campus, Peggy is a no-go-to gesture to anyone, but now she looks like a little girl of her age, but it's rare....
Peggy slowly slowed down the pace of her steps, waiting for John to step forward and stroll shoulder to shoulder with Peggy through the streets of Boston. John looked at Peggy, who was a little thin, and now that he had entered winter, the weather was a little cold, so John immediately took off the windbreaker on his body, revealing the sweatshirt inside, feeling that he could still carry it.
stepped forward and draped the coat on Peggy's body, the corners of Peggy's mouth went up, and the corners of her eyes smiled with a smile, feeling the residual warmth in the clothes. My heart was pounding......
Then the two of them tacitly walked in the crowd on the street without saying a word.......
