"How are you going to spend Christmas next month?"

I don't know if it's because Chandler, noticing that Locke is looking at him, Monica asked.

"I should go back to Texas early, and I'll leave after the final exam." Locke said.

"It's better to be a student when you're still a student, and you can have a vacation early." Chandler said with a bit of nostalgia.

"yes." Rose showed a look of reminiscence: "Do you remember that we used to hang out together on vacation?" What a good old age. ”

"It's wonderful!" Chandler exclaimed.

Chandler and Ross can be said to be small, they have been together since they were children, and they also went to Columbia together in college, so they are definitely iron buddies.

Hearing the two of them sigh there, Monica pursed her lips a little sour, she graduated from high school and didn't go to college, she chose to be a chef, although it is her favorite profession, but now I think about it and there are some faint regrets.

Phoebe has a longing on her face, she lived on the streets because of her family when she was a child, and she didn't even have the opportunity to go to high school.

Joey also came out to be an actor before finishing high school, but he still pretended to be thoughtful and nodded slowly, trying to blend into the atmosphere.

"Locke, aren't you an orphan, why do you have to go back to Texas." Monica asked.

"Ashley, Peggy, and Sheldon's family is in Texas, and you can drop them off, and Alice doesn't want to go home, so she just goes back with me to see where I used to live."

"Sounds good." Joey nodded: "I was thinking of inviting you to our house, we are a big family, and every Christmas is very lively." ”

"I was also thinking of inviting Locke to our house for Christmas." Monica ignored Rose's widening eyes: "It's a shame. ”

"I should have a chance to spend Christmas in New York in the future." Locke smiled.

This is not polite, after all, he is an orphan in this life, and without family reasons, the motivation to go back to Texas for the holidays is not strong.

Like this time, it's mostly to send Peggy and Ashley back.

Tang Wei fell out with her father, and she didn't like Christmas very much, and she missed the Spring Festival when she was a child.

After coming to the United States, her Christmas was actually quite boring, her father often worked overtime in the casino, leaving her alone at home, and she was not familiar with life, even Christmas gifts were often missed.

So this Christmas, she chose to follow Locke.

Speaking of Christmas in the United States, it is not the birth day of Jesus at all.

The reason why it gradually became popular all over the world is entirely the result of the continuous marketing of the United States itself.

It originated from the marketing plan of Fat House Happy Water.

In order to sell better, the company's top brass finally chose Christmas from Europe, redesigned Santa Claus, and then continued to reinforce the concept through marketing campaigns.

After hearing about it, countless merchants also began to follow the trend and promote it, because the concept of Christmas is exactly in the interests of these merchants.

Everyone says that Santa Claus will give gifts to children, but it is not the parents of the children who actually pay for the gifts.

Because of the strong influence of the United States, Christmas continues to grow stronger and bigger, spreading all over the world.

This process is just like the continuous promotion of some businesses in the east in the future, but also to attract people to consume more, year by year, the liveliness even gradually catches up with the trend of the Spring Festival.

It wasn't until it was stopped by the divine beast that this momentum was suppressed.

"Hi, Locke." At this time, a girl came to say hello from afar, and when she saw Chandler and the others, she asked, "Is this your friend?" ”

"Caroline." Locke greeted Martin Johnny's daughter, "Big guy, this is Caroline, this is Monica, Phoebe, Chandler, Ross, and Joey." ”

After meeting her before, Caroline seemed to be very curious about Locke, the person her father admired in private, and she often contacted Locke, and gradually became familiar with it.

This time, I heard that Locke was going to attend a friend's wedding, and it was still held at Locke's manor, so I also wanted to attend.

The well-dressed Caroline is stunning at a glance, and her foundation is first-class, and with the blessing of Franklin, several people are dumbfounded.

Chandler behaved most appropriately and reacted the fastest, reaching out and pushing Ross and Joey.

"Hey." Joey saw Caroline take the initiative to hold Locke's arm, and at this time she also reacted, and did not use the classic Joe-style greeting.

Although Joey is a prodigal son, he is more particular, even if he wants to pursue a friend's ex-girlfriend or something, at least he will say it in advance, and if he encounters opposition, he will probably give up as soon as possible.

However, Rose still hasn't come back to his senses, and the well-dressed Caroline is like a princess, so he has been reluctant to look away.

Monica saw that Caroline was not very old, so she asked, "Caroline, are you also in college?" ”

"I'm still in high school." Caroline shook her head, and then said, "But I've already got an offer from Wharton, and I'll go there next year." ”

"You got an offer from Wharton so early, you're amazing." Monica said.

The Wharton School is also very famous in the United States, especially in economics-related disciplines, and there are many powerful alumni, and the reason why Caroline booked a place so early is naturally because of Martin John's father.

"Actually, it's a lot of pressure." Caroline smiled reservedly.

"It's good to be stressed." Seeing such a beautiful woman as Caroline so close to Locke, he felt very unhappy, and put on a pointing posture:

"If you feel pressured, it means that you are really studying, and the study pressure during high school and undergraduate is really average, and you will know the real pressure when you go to graduate school or even take a PhD in the future!"

Seeing Rose taking Joe there, Locke squeezed Caroline's hand with a wicked smile in his eyes, "I forgot to tell you that you should probably call him Dr. Geller." ”

"It turned out to be Dr. Geller." Getting Locke's hint, Caroline had a decent smile on her face: "I don't know what kind of doctorate you are studying, whether it is science or medicine or law." ”

Rose's originally smug face suddenly froze.

There is a chain of contempt for science, just as Sheldon usually says that geography or archaeology is not really a science, because he has enough confidence that mathematics and physics are the upper reaches of the chain of scientific contempt.

In the eyes of ordinary people, medical doctors and law doctors who can make a lot of money are worthy of respect, but Ross is not touched by either side.

He's just a Ph.D. in archaeology, and he's at the bottom of the chain of scientific contempt, and Sheldon doesn't dare to refute it when he says it's not real science face to face.

The income is average, and working in a museum is at most a decent job.

When Caroline chatted with Locke, she also talked about his friends together, so she naturally knew Rose, she followed her father every day, and her emotional intelligence was extremely high, and a sentence made Rose speechless.

Seeing that Rose didn't dare to speak, Caroline said to Locke: "Are you all the waiters for this wedding?" ”

"Some are employees of the estate, and some are temporary." Locke asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Is there one of them called MAX?" Carolyn asked.
