At five forty o'clock, when all the workers of the manor sat down around the long table.

When the gifts that everyone had picked out from under the Christmas tree had not yet been opened, when Harris placed a box of delicate chocolates in front of each worker, the guest.

Just in case, walk to the piano and sit down.

With a smile, he said, "Today is Christmas Eve, and I am very happy to spend it with all of you...... This is a piano piece I just learned in the morning, and I hope you will enjoy it. ”

Just when Lin Meijun was dumbfounded, a song "Silent Night" composed by Mozart gently flowed out from Wanyi's fingers.

The soft melody in this snowy festival suddenly sets off a warm atmosphere, making people feel the warmth and tranquility of Christmas Eve.

Just in case the Adagio began to be played, Harris whispered, "You can open the gifts." ”

So, everyone gently held the gift in front of them and carefully tore open a corner......

Just when the breath of the crowd became rapid and rough.

In case the sound of the piano slowly faded away, and in the midst of the exclamations of the crowd, his performance ended with an excited and cheerful rhythm.

The candle flame on the table was gently flickering, illuminating everyone's face, filled with surprise and joy.

I saw that each worker's gift was different, some were a silk scarf, some were a cashmere sweater, and some were a watch......

Again, each gift contains a brand new hundred dollars.

Even Lin Meijun and Utu's gift box had a hundred dollars, and Lin Meijun picked up a note with a string of letters and numbers written on it, and let out an exclamation.

"Oh my God, you really gave them to me, it's the best gift I've ever received."

Although there is another gift box in front of her, which is the latest style of silk scarf in Athens this year, Lin Meijun only has these three game accounts in her eyes.

In case he put down the lid of the piano and whispered, "This is not for you, it is a gift you chose yourself from under the Christmas tree." ”

Utu hugged Wanyi tightly and exclaimed, "I can't believe you just started learning to play the piano this morning." ”

In case of a faint smile, he raised the toast in front of him and said, "Let's prepare for the new year together, happy holidays!" ”

All of them raised their glasses at this moment: "Happy Holidays!" ”

……

Thinking that he didn't have to leave tonight, Utuduo drank two glasses of wine, and even Lin Meijun was faintly drunk.

After Harris cleaned up the mess on the table with the workers, he said goodnight to Wan and took Nicole back to the house to watch TV.

The three of them surrounded the fireplace, and if two pieces of chopping wood were added to it, Lin Meijun instantly felt warmer.

While grinding the coffee beans she brought, Lin Meijun planned to brew a cup of Mandheling for the three of them.

It was only at this time that Lin Meijun remembered, looked at Wan Yi and asked, "Why did all of us open Christmas gifts and you didn't?" ”

Utu glanced at the two of them, but said nothing.

In case he thought about it, he replied, "This is not my holiday, I don't need to open any gifts, as long as you are all happy." ”

Utu sighed softly, but his eyes were fixed on the coffee pot in Lin Meijun's hand, and he smiled: "Be careful." ”

Lin Meijun nodded and began to concentrate on the work in her hands.

It wasn't until the three of them held a cup of fragrant Mandheling in their hands that they continued to ask: "Is it difficult, do you want to celebrate New Year's Day?" ”

Shaking his head, he continued to reply: "No, I don't have the habit of celebrating festivals, and if I want to live, I will be with everyone." ”

Lin Meijun sighed faintly: "I may not be able to wait for New Year's Day, and I will have to return to China, otherwise I can accompany you here for a few more days." ”

Thinking about it, he then asked, "You won't live here forever, will you, you don't have to go to school?" ”

In case you take a sip of coffee and have a satisfied smile on your face.

"This coffee is really good, I live here, don't loosen the soil for the vines after spring, I can be a serious farmer." ”

Looking at Lin Meijun's disbelief, Wan Yi smiled amusedly: "I still have some things that I haven't done well, otherwise I will also return to China before New Year's Day." ”

"I see?"

Lin Meijun's eyes rolled, and she suddenly asked, "Why don't I refund the ticket and wait for you to go back together, in other words, which city do you want to go back to?" ”

"Don't wait for me, I'm used to being alone."

In case I glanced at Utu, my mood was a little low.

He said quietly: "I still have some personal debts to repay in China, and when I repay those debts, I will become a farmer in the future, and it just so happens that there is land here." ”

"Are you poor? Need to move to a friend's estate to work as a farmer to earn money? ”

Lin Meijun frowned slightly, and said seriously: "Actually, I can pay you eight thousand dollars for these three accounts, but I don't have the money ...... now."

In case he heard this, he was stunned at first, and then smiled slightly.

Pointing to Utu, he said, "I said I'll make you a Christmas gift, you don't have to worry about it, if I really lack money, I can borrow it from Dr. Utu first." ”

Lin Meijun breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "It's hard to find a girl who shares a house, otherwise I can refund your rent to you." ”

In case Wen Yan frowned slightly, and asked, "Are you short of money?" If that rent is important to you, I can rent it forever. ”

Lin Meijun sighed: "Originally, there was no shortage of money, didn't I have a small café...... It's just that this trip back to China, if you calculate it, you will have to spend a sum of money, and it seems that you will become poor. ”

In case I couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, where can I imagine where a woman spends money.

After all, the relationship between the two is just a landlord and a tenant who has withdrawn, not so close, and there is no need to be intimate.

After thinking about it, he pointed to Utu and said, "In a few days, my African friend will give me a sum of money, and when the time comes, I will pay you half a year's rent first, and the house will not be rented again." ”

"Why don't you rent it?"

Lin Meijun looked at him and asked puzzledly: "Many people in Athens are like this, two girls share a house together?" ”

In case he shook his head and said softly, "If the girl you share a house with has a boyfriend, if I and the doctor are not there when you have an accident, what will you do?" ”

Utu understood what to expect, and after taking a sip of coffee, he said, "My brother is right, Miss Lin, you are here alone, you have to protect yourself." ”

Lin Meijun then understood, looked at Wan Yi and said fiercely: "But in my eyes, how can you be like a bad person." ”

Shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I'm a bad guy by nature." ”

Just when Lin Meijun was dumbfounded, she sent a holiday greeting made with a baby elephant background to Vincent, the female lawyer, Jones, Lukett and Lisa who were far away in Rosmu.

It was also the most precious photo he took by the river.

Similarly, Lin Meijun and Utu, as well as Harris and Nicole, also received his Christmas Eve wishes.

Finally, in case of a phone call to Pat, two beeps rang, and Pat connected the phone: "Hi my brother, Happy Christmas Eve." ”

In case of replying: "Pat, my brother, I wish you a happy Christmas Eve!" ”

Pat replied, "I'm with Jones, and he's received your greeting, so let me say thank you...... Where are you now? ”

"I'm living in Vincent's estate now, and I'm going back to China in a few days, what about the business Jones?"

In case he cares about what Jones said before, and in his opinion, it has nothing to do with Lin Meijun.

Pat smiled: "My brother, when it's over Christmas, I'll call you and tell you how to do it, don't worry!" ”

In case of relief, he smiled and said, "Please say hello to Jones on my behalf, good night, my brother." ”

"Good night my brother!" Pat replied.

After making the call, Lin Meijun looked at Wan Yi and shouted, "Quickly copy me those photos taken in Africa." ”

After listening to the phone call, he finally believed that this guy had gone to Africa before, otherwise he would not have a friend in Africa and would have to do business.

In case he sighed, looked at her and smiled: "Today is Christmas Eve, even if it is anything, please wait until tomorrow, right?" ”

Lin Meijun then said: "Okay, just tomorrow." ”

After thinking about it, he asked, "Jackwan, when are you going to Africa again, take me with you." ”

……

For the first time, the three of them sat in front of the fireplace, drank coffee and beer, and ate beef jerky and bread hungry until midnight.

Lin Meijun said to Wanyi with satisfaction: "Merry Christmas, I'm going to sleep." ”

Utu also smiled and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, I am very happy this Christmas." ”

In case he waved his hand to the two of them, "Good night!" ”

After the two of them left, in case they turned off all the lights, they kept a candle until it was about to go out, and then they went to their room.

In his opinion, Lin Meijun is finally a woman who knows etiquette, and she didn't ask Harris where she lived, otherwise she would have to wear a gang today.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Meijun, who was lying in bed and didn't want to get up, was woken up by a melodious piano sound, and listened carefully, but it was the famous "To Alice".

Lying on the pillow, I thought to myself, didn't this guy just learn to play the piano yesterday? Who taught him, could it be that Nicole or Harris taught him?

But as a housekeeper, how could she play such a smooth piano sound, she was a little confused.

After washing up and putting on makeup, I walked out of the room with graceful steps and headed for the hall on the first floor.

Just standing on the stairs and looking at the piano sitting by the piano in the hall from a distance, Lin Meijun was stunned.

She couldn't describe the moment, she just stared in amazement at a pair of fingers flying happily on the keys like butterflies through flowers.

And the beautiful sound of the piano was like a stream in the mountains, like a light rain in spring, which instantly wet her restless heart.

He stood on the stairs in a daze, and only then did he clap his palms lightly when he finished playing the song.

smiled gently: "I said Jack, do you sit here and play the song "To Lin Meijun" early in the morning, Jack, you don't sleep early in the morning?" ”

In case he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "You are so thick-skinned, this is for the master to hear, and you have to get up from the coffin and scold you." ”

Lin Meijun smiled faintly: "Isn't it?" I'm finally going to sleep in, you go and sit here and play the piano, and other girls will think so. ”

In case he sighed and said with a wry smile: "I just want to practice the skill I just learned to be more proficient, or go back, where can I find the piano?" ”

Lin Meijun smiled lightly: "I have it at home." ”
