Christmas Eve, December 24th.
Annie's house has a large rectangular table. Annie's family, Zhen Fan and Christine sat around the table. There were a lot of exquisite food on the table. Of course, the most important thing was roast turkey, as well as roast tuǐ, three fish, pudding, plums, and mince pies. , milky mashed potatoes, steak, cabbage, and a big meal prepared by Zhen Fan-roast pork.
The two families were chatting and laughing, and they seemed to be in harmony, which made Claire, who didn't know it, very happy. She had already climbed onto the table, and she was just drooling and staring at the very human-looking roast suckling pig.
"Claire, don't forget, we still have a pre-dinner prayer!"
Annie reminded her in time.
"Yes, mother!"
"Okay, Claire, we are waiting for you, you come to pray first, and then you can eat delicious food!" Christine looked at Claire and pinched her nose.
This action made Claire frowned, and then began to pray in a low voice: "Thank God for my father, mother, Uncle Zhen, and of course Aunt Christine..."
Everyone made exaggerated expressions at Christine, amused and trying to comfort her. Christine shrugged indifferently, and Claire made her feel happy.
"...Thank God for giving me turkey, stuffed pie, Christmas pudding and roast pig..." Then Claire closed her mouth, raised her head, looked at the crowd, and cast her eyes on Anne's face.
"Mom, will God know I'm lying if I say I thank God for the cabbage?"
Everyone couldn't help laughing, Anne touched Claire's small face, and said with a smile: "Yes, God is omnipotent. Since you thank God, then eat the cabbage with a pious heart!"
"Okay then, Mom!"
Claire pouted, it was obvious that she was resistant to cabbages.
This is a very good episode, which made the atmosphere very harmonious. The sumptuous food, coupled with Zhen Fan's top-quality fruit wine, opened up everyone's topic.
Christine talked about some interesting things she encountered while filming, which made Thomas laugh out loud from time to time, while Anne pursed her lips and smiled gently.
"...I've never seen such a childish side of a big director like Bit, you know, when he said he wanted Zhen's fruit wine and came to exchange it with me, I was stunned. Reminds me of Shane Ulf's bald head... muscular guy funny, looks hilarious..."
"Ha, I've never seen such a side of Bit, maybe I shouldn't have given him those wines so easily!" Zhen Fan couldn't help laughing.
"Of course, if it wasn't for Christine, you are sitting across from me now, and I would have never imagined that I would sit with a Hollywood star and have a Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve." Thomas said to Christine Offer a small courtesy, then raise your glass, "Why don't we have a drink for this!"
"Don't,
Thomas, you are Zhen's friends, that is, my friends, how about... let's have a toast to Claire's prayer! "
Christine smiled and raised her glass.
"Okay, raise your glass!"
Thomas was a little embarrassed, but he quickly adjusted and smiled at Christine. Several people raised their glasses and took a sip.
Claire was the most excited. She fought hard against the roast pork. Zhen Fan cut her into slices, put them on her plate one by one, and then told her how to dip the sauce—pure Chinese sauce juice.
The topic changed casually. Zhen Fan talked about some interesting things about going to Yosemite National Park with Annie's family. Annie recalled the past of falling in love with Thomas and some memorable days when Claire was born. .
Thomas excitedly talked about how he managed to strategize in the company and was promoted quickly, looking a little high-spirited.
Zhen Fan looked at him, then at Annie.
Annie's brows were slightly frowned. Obviously, everything just now seemed to be casual, but in fact, it was a waste of intentional chat. Thomas didn't show nostalgia for those beautiful days, and he didn't seem to be particularly fond of Annie because of it. intimate look.
The Christmas dinner was over, Anne and Christine cleaned up the table, Claire jumped over to help, the little girl was really happy today.
Zhen Fan and Thomas sat on the sofa in the living room, drinking tea and chatting.
"Claire is such an angel!"
Zhen Fan spoke quite emotionally.
"I know, I don't want to do this either!" Thomas looked at Zhen Fan, "I know what you are going to say, yes, I have changed, but so what? Fifty percent of American families have Not complete, I'm just a part of it, and...forget it, let's not talk about it, but I still want to thank you for everything!"
"What about Claire?"
"I will visit them often, you know, I love Claire, but that's not the reason why I can't leave Anne, Zhen, you are a good person, and you are also very capable... that is, the kind of ability that ordinary people cannot I'm so sorry for that..."
Thomas is determined, Zhen Fan can't say anything more, he doesn't have the ability to change people's minds, he doesn't have the ability to control all people's hearts.
"Then... so be it, these two days, be nice to them and do your part!"
This is the only thing Zhen Fan can do.
"I know, I'm not the kind of person without a conscience, not to mention... I really love Claire."
Thomas looked at Claire, who was walking through the living room and kitchen with a smile, and nodded.
Anne and Christine cleaned up the kitchen, and then everyone sat around the Christmas tree. Claire had a lot of presents packed in stockings and left, hanging on the Christmas tree.
There are those of Zhen Fan, those of Christine, and of course those of Anne and Thomas. And the Raymond family also had a gift for Claire.
Barbie dolls, hairpins, and singing dolls...
All this was a source of joy for Claire.
In the end Claire sang a nice Christmas carol to the family, accompanied by Christine on the violin. Christine had already prepared the instrument.
After frantic play, Claire finally fell asleep. Annie carried her into the room and arranged for her to sleep. Looking at her childish face and the smile on her lips, she couldn't help shedding tears Come.
Thomas sent Zhen Fan and Christine to the door.
"Remember my words, Thomas, I don't want to see Claire's frown on a day like this. You said you love her, so show your sincerity!"
Zhen Fan did not forget to "warn" Thomas.
"I will, promise!"
Thomas respected and feared Zhen Fan, so he didn't dare to agree easily.
The two left, and walked from Thomas' yard to their own yard. Suddenly, Christine looked at Zhen Fan: "What did you say to him?"
"It's nothing, it's just... Do you know that Thomas and Annie are going to separate?"
"So what can it be?"
Christine shrugged. In her opinion, American divorce is indeed a very common thing.
"American families have a fifty percent divorce rate!"
Zhen Fan was taken aback, why did he speak the same way as Thomas, he frowned.
"But...don't forget, Christine, 50 percent of the family is still intact, and I sometimes suddenly think, if I can't give my child a complete family, then...I'd rather Don't touch marriage, that's it, this is my bottom line!"
Christine stopped suddenly, and then looked at Zhen Fan seriously.
"What do you want to say? Zhen, I know what you think, so... If I really want to marry you, I will seriously consider this issue... A complete family, yes, I have to be good think about it!"
Zhen Fan suddenly laughed: "Did I ever say I wanted to marry you?"
Christine blushed immediately, and couldn't help cursing: "You're a bastard!"
Speaking of reaching out to hit Zhen Fan on the shoulder, Zhen Fan ran away and laughed at Christine, "If...you can hit me, maybe I will consider this issue!"
"damn it……"
Christine got angry, and chased after Zhen Fan, raised her hands, and the two chased back and forth in the yard, the yard was filled with the sound of playing and laughing.
Suddenly, the church bell rang.
"Zhen—"
Christine stopped suddenly. She stared at the night sky obsessively, as if the most beautiful dream was hidden there. She raised her slender and fair neck like a proud swan.
"What?"
Zhen Fan also stopped, looking at Christine strangely.
"Listen, the bell—"
"Yes, I heard it!" Zhen Fan obviously hadn't reacted yet. After all, it was the first Christmas, and he didn't have such subconscious behavior.
Zhen Fan approached Christine and stood side by side with her.
"boom--"
There was a loud noise in the sky, and a firework suddenly bloomed in the sky, sparks like the most beautiful flowers in the sky.
The first firework woke up the night sky. Immediately, the continuous sound of fireworks came to mind. Radiant lights shone in the night sky. Amidst the bright fireworks, Christine suddenly put her arms around Zhen Fan's waist, raised her face, There are still bright lights of fireworks in the eyes.
"Zhen—"
"What?"
Zhen Fan looked down at the girl's delicate face reflected in the lights of the fireworks.
"I love you!"
"Wait!" Zhen Fan was stunned, and quickly said, "I have to turn on the recording function in the phone, okay, Christine, you can say it again now!" Zhen Fan pretended to take out the phone and jumped to the recording function Above, facing Christine's mouth.
"You're an asshole!"
The emotions that Christine had finally brewed were instantly wiped out, and she turned around and walked towards the house.
"It's not this sentence, Christine, don't fool me, what I wanted to hear just now is not this, there is a word 'love' in it, Christine—"
Zhen Fan shouted triumphantly behind her, shaking his phone... RS! .
