"Stella, this is a gift for you."

After a while of small talk, Hannah took a gun case out of her suitcase and placed it on the table.

A pair of young children in the Walker family have perfectly inherited their mother's beauty and their father's height, especially the eldest daughter, Stella, who is slim and slim, with two long legs that are not inferior to Hannah, who is also a Texas girl, and from her lively demeanor, it seems to be more like her father.

The little girl let out a scream of surprise and took a look at the box, which was a Beretta BU9Nano semi-automatic pocket pistol, with a blue shell and a laser handle patch, which was very in line with the aesthetics of a little girl of her age.

Jack had prepared a pink one for Kara, but before he could give it away, Hannah thought it was a good pistol for little girls, and bought one as a gift.

"AUGGIE, YOUR GIFT IS TOO BIG TO ARRIVE TOMORROW, IT'S A BRAD PAISLEY SIGNATURE GUITAR."

Hannah turned to look at Augie, a little apologetic.

As a younger brother, Augie is a head taller than Stella, but he looks a little more bookish than his sister, and feels more like their mother.

He covered his mouth, unable to hide his expression, and finally the little boy took the initiative to hug Hannah a little shyly to express his gratitude.

"Little Hannah, you're going to spoil the two of them like this."

Aunt Molly brought a teatray in front of them, a teapot and two cups of lavender tea that had been poured, steaming with the characteristic floral fragrance of lavender.

"Try this, it's the first lavender to bloom in our garden this year, and drinking a little bit is very good for a night's sleep."

Sending guns to girls and musical instruments to boys, isn't this also a unique way to give gifts in Texas?

Jack complained silently in his heart, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and unexpectedly found that the taste was quite good, in addition to the floral fragrance, some honey was added to it, which was not very sweet, but the aroma of honey and the floral fragrance of lavender were combined just right.

"It's amazing, it's the best flower tea I've ever had."

Jack gave a heartfelt compliment, and the old lady was so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut.

"We've got enough materials ready to repair the Stephens house together tomorrow, why don't you come together?"

Walker's father, Bonham, had a smirk.

"Hey, old fellow, don't embarrass young people, you should learn to respect guests."

Although Aunt Molly said this, there was a hint of cunning in her eyes, and the whole family turned their eyes to Jack, as if they wanted to see his reaction, giving people the feeling that her mother's family was testing her son-in-law for the first time.

"I happen to be a good carpenter, so I should be able to help a little."

Jack nodded happily in agreement, he was still very confident in his current craft.

"Aha, that's it." Walker clapped his hands and rubbed them, as if he couldn't wait.

"Can I go and help too? Bonham has taught me quite a bit lately. Augie raised his hand and looked at his mother, Emily.

Emily looked at her son, smiled and nodded, and turned to look at Hannah: "Let them men be busy, let's go to the city together tomorrow afternoon, I want to buy some supplies, and go shopping together by the way." ”

Hannah looked very happy, and immediately thought of something, and asked, "Walker said that you have been too busy to take care of him lately, does it have anything to do with the supplies you want to procure?" ”

Emily glared at her husband and explained, "We've built a caravanserai in the middle of the desert, and it's on the routes that the immigrants go through, and every week we're going to replenish the caravanserai with some water and food, and you know, the number of people sneaking in from Mexico has been growing over the years. ”

"The day after tomorrow is the day of replenishment, and I won't be able to accompany you then."

Jack never judges the good people who actually put it into action, at least Emily's act of relief is much more practical than the 'Virgins' who give out 'special packets'.

So he just deliberately pretended not to understand and asked, "Isn't that a dangerous route?" I think there will be people who use those routes to do some illegal things. ”

"So we only set up our supply points on the route approved by the Walker Mounties." Emily smiled and looked at her husband again.

"That's to keep you safe." Walker looked serious.

"Okay, you're a little too worried."

Emily grabbed his tie so that he had to lower his head and kiss him mouth-to-mouth.

Walker seemed to be a little unsatisfied, and wanted to continue, but was knocked on the head by his own mother, and the family laughed.

Although I don't know if it happened this time in the original plot, Jack decided to fool Hannah to follow him once, and he had to find a way to stir up the follow-up of this incident in order to save Emily's life.

"Then why don't we follow the day after tomorrow, I haven't camped in the desert yet, so for this road trip, I specially prepared a tent and a sleeping bag, just enough to use."

Hearing Jack's proposal, Hannah, who was eager to spend time with Emilydo, immediately voted in favor, but because the two children also had to join in the fun, Walker had to join in, which eventually led to an impromptu family camp.

"Cordell and Emily have been together for so many years, and their relationship is still so good."

Late at night, sleeping in the guest room that the Walker family helped clean up, Hannah nestled in Jack's arms and let out a sigh of envy.

Jack hesitated, and echoed with some trepidation, "The relationship between old Walker and his wife is also very good, and it reminds me of Mr. and Mrs. Hunter." ”

Hannah snorted, and instead of continuing the conversation, she asked him to tell the story of the encounter with the ogres in detail.

"In the end, I worked with the SEAL team to kill all the ogres, and I wiped out the bad guys in the Eugene family, and finally found the gold in the trunks of two off-road vehicles."

"That all-natural gold nugget is so beautiful that you can keep it as an ornament."

Jack racked his brains to finish the whole thing by avoiding the important and trivial, saying everything that should be said and omitting everything that should not be said.

"So, you've been very heroic in a few battles, and even those seals aren't as many ogres you've killed."

Hannah's eyes rolled as if she were asking unintentionally.

"Of course, if you don't count the ones they took out with the mini-Vulcan cannon on the Black Hawk, I'm the MVP, and the first time I encountered an ogre, I emptied three magazines."

Jack didn't notice that the chick was playing tricks on him, and boasted to himself.

"Tell me, then, how did you deal with the after-effects of your adrenaline outburst? And those seals? ”

Hannah saw the dagger and sneered and grabbed Jack's handle.

"Ahh Jack was dumbfounded, "Would you believe me if I said I wasn't that nervous?" ”

"No, honey, you can't use teeth there."
