42. Go home (ask for collection)

Peggy quietly watched John playing the guitar, remembering that the first time she heard John perform was at a charity fundraiser in a small town in Texas.

It's just that he is not the lead singer, but silently behind the stage.....

At that time, I rebelled and lost the direction of my life. It was only after the exchange with John at Shelton's house that he realized that maybe his parents divorced was a good thing.

There has been a gap in the relationship between them for a long time, and he may be the fuse of their marriage, but the real reason is that their love is defeated by the trivialities of life......

Soon, Linda returned.

Linda went to the mall to buy some supplies for Christmas and give Peggy a little personal space.

John stayed at Peggy's house for dinner, Linda cooked, and Peggy did. Originally, John wanted to show off his cooking skills, but looking at the smooth cooperation between the mother and daughter, he didn't want to look for a sense of existence...

What's more, their tastes may not be the same as their own.....

After the meal, John said that he would take his leave. Thanks says:

"Thank you, Mrs. Linda, for your hospitality. I've got a plane to catch tomorrow, so I won't bother you. It's almost Christmas, so I guess I wish you, Peggy, and your loved ones a happy holiday in advance."

Linda expressed her gratitude to John for the blessing.....

Peggy silently took off the coat and hat from the hanger and handed it to John, who took the coat and hat and put it on, saying goodbye to Peggy's mother.

Due to the heavy snow outside, John told Peggy not to send it, and he had already called for a car.

John took the initiative to hug Peggy and said softly:

"It's cold outside, you come in. I'll go first, thank you for the dinner.... Bye-bye"

Peggy smiled and said:

"Then stay safe, bye-bye"

John walked to the taxi on the side of the road....

Peggy watched as John's figure at the back of the car faded into the snow.....

The next day, John took a taxi and went to the airport alone with the gifts he had prepared, Christmas had not yet arrived, but various shopping malls and office buildings were decorated with Christmas decorations......

As it was close to Christmas, the airport was crowded. People come and go endlessly, some people are carrying suitcases, looking at the check-in time of each flight on the big screen of the airport, some people are holding eye-catching cardboard with the name of the person to be picked up, their faces are surprised or anxious, some people are reluctant or full of anticipation hugging their friends or lovers, and some people are waiting without care..........

John took his boarding pass and went through security. Thinking that in a few hours, I would fly from the east of the United States to the south and arrive at my hometown.......

Soon John boarded the plane to Austin, Texas, and under the instructions of the flight attendant, John took his place.

In those days, there was no entertainment on the plane, at most just a magazine or a movie. Before smartphones were available, there were only a few ways for people to spend their time.

So John packed his luggage, sat down in his seat, took out the blindfold strap, and fell into a deep sleep.

After a while, John vaguely heard the announcement from the crew of the plane that they were about to land in Texas. John got up and walked to the bathroom.....

Although Texas is located in the southern part of the United States, due to the longitudinal distribution of the mountains in the United States, the cold currents from the North Pole will move from the north to the south along the high latitudes to the lower dimensions.

After getting off the plane, John pushed his suitcase and walked out. This time, John didn't inform his grandmother Teresha, he went out of the airport and flagged down a taxi, and after giving the address, the car started to drive in the direction of the town.

John returned home, took out his key to open the door, looked at the familiar home layout and felt the warmth of home, and sighed that it is still the best at home, this feeling is common in ancient and modern China and abroad......

Squeak crunch..

The sound of the front door opening reached John, who was in his room, even though John had gone to school. But Theresa didn't move the contents of John's room, just put the bedding in the closet.

When John heard this, he immediately walked out of the room and saw his grandmother Teresa who had left work.

John excitedly stepped forward and hugged Teresha, after all, this is his own relative, he hasn't seen him for a few months, even John, who has a mature personality, is excited.

You must know that when I first woke up, I didn't know anyone, it was my parents' acquaintance Sister Teresa, who saw the embarrassed John, and couldn't help but feel love, pity this John, who had just lost his parents and suffered a brain trauma.

It was during that time that she worked tirelessly to take care of herself and opened John's closed heart. Accept that you can't see your relatives and friends in your previous life, and accept the grandmother in front of you who takes care of you...

"Grandma, I'm missing you a little. How have you been feeling lately? Eat soundly, sleep soundly? ”

Even though I often call and contact, I can't help but greet a real person after seeing it.

"Good, good. I'm in good health, you go and ask the people at the bowling alley, I'm the senior champion."

With silver hair on her temples and high spirits, Teresa hugged her grandson and said domineeringly....

John's face was a little red and he withdrew his body from his grandmother's arms, feeling that his previous life had been in vain.

Teresa knew John was emotional, and now she's shy...

quipped:

"How did you go to college, and you came back squirming."

John wished there was a crack in the ground so he could get in.

I suddenly thought of the Chinese silk and embroidered silk scarves that I bought from my Chinese boss in Boston's Chinatown.

Turn around and walk to the room and take out the wrapped gift for grandma....

Theresa was pleased and curious about the gifts her grandchildren had brought back from Boston.

John introduced the gift to Teresa, who nodded from time to time as she listened to John's explanation, and smiled in agreement........

In the evening, John used a knife and fork to eat the familiar taste of steak, although he was the soul of Huaguo in his previous life, and the taste was also nourished by Huaguo's food.

But there is no way, in the end, I can only get used to American food according to the locals, of course, sometimes I will make some simple Chinese food to try, and he will not be able to complex (you can learn, but many ingredients can not be found in the United States)...

Eating the familiar taste of steak, John couldn't help but eat a lot more. Usually, John still pays attention to his physical functions, does not overeat, and does not eat on time.

In my previous life, I was a problem of turning the night upside down, and often not eating on time caused stomach pain. Now that I have finally achieved financial freedom in advance (not spending too much, spending indiscriminately), I must pay attention to my physical health, and even often ask about the physical condition of my loved ones.....

Having eaten and drunk to his heart's content, John got up to clean up the dishes and consciously washed them. John has always maintained the ability to do it on his own without the help of others....

Sitting on a couch in front of a wood-burning fireplace, the two exchanged interesting things and people they encountered......

The two burst into laughter from time to time.......
