The 2-meter-high Christmas tree is placed in the center of the living room. When it was shipped in, it took a lot of effort just to get in the door, but the things that cost hundreds of dollars to decorate can only be used once for Christmas.
The whole dining table has been filled with a feast of roast turkey, and the heating in the house has been turned on early. With the colorful decorations and soft lights, the whole room is full of hot cooked meat. Fragrant, and the sweet smell of cake biscuits.
The baked bacon and eggplant cake is buried in the egg liquid and the fragrant and soft cheese. When you pick the thin, crispy outer skin, you can smell a sweet aroma mixed with the salty aroma of bacon and the fragrance of eggplant. come.
The turkey is golden and plump, and its bulging stomach is filled with various fillings, such as mushrooms, nuts, vegetables, etc. Just looking at it makes people feel a sense of satisfaction that can't wait.
The brownish-yellow gingerbread figurines are baked crispy and delicious. The slight pungentness of ginger and the sweetness of honey are perfectly blended together. The outlines of clothes and facial features are carefully drawn with cream on the body. Each one is cute and attractive, full of a big plate...
Antonis cleaned up the room and tidied up himself by the way, took a shower and changed clothes before coming out of the room. At this time, the sky outside had already darkened, Han Chu brought his computer with a gingerbread man in his mouth, and was looking at a page full of unknown information, while Ye Shuang was beside him with great interest Unpacking a palm-sized gift box... Antonis hadn't seen this before, and it was probably a gift that Han Chu prepared for the agent by the way.
Han Chu's eyebrows are clean and beautiful, and the clothes on his body are always bright and tidy. Ye Shuang's appearance is exquisite. Although she only wears simple home clothes, she feels just right under such quiet and soft light. Add to that the delicious food stuffed on the table and the warm, inviting scents wafting in the air…
Antonis was taken aback for a moment, he just wanted to make an embarrassing request as a prank. He didn't expect to get a perfect Christmas Eve beyond imagination in the end. As long as he didn't step out of this room, he even felt as if he was really attending someone's family reunion in America.
"It looks really good." He walked over and tentatively took a gingerbread man and stuffed it into his mouth. With a "click", Antonis bit his head off like Han Chu did. After eating a few mouthfuls, he licked his fingers in surprise: "Xiao Shuang, have you ever lived in America?"
"No, no money." Ye Shuang answered smoothly and at the same time opened the gift, she took out a car key in surprise: "Brother Han, this is for me?!" Are you sure the gift is in the right box? !
Han Chu raised his head: "The car is still in my name, and I still have a copy of the key here, but I can let you drive it in Shanlin City. Anyway, I won't live here all the time." Just like a house, it belongs to Han Chu every day. The necessary equipment will be prepared when you stop in a place for a short time. Even if it wasn't for Ye Shuang, he would give Yao Zhixing or Antonis the spare key when he wasn't around. Anyway, the car would be rusty if it wasn't running.
"It's fine if you can open it." Ye Shuang smiled openly. Although it is not her own thing, it is enough for her to use it casually.
"Where's my gift?" Antonis puffed his cheeks, and then asked with a cute big smile: "Han, you must have prepared a gift for me, right?"
"..." Han Chu silently ate a biscuit and pretended not to hear.
Prepare to fuck! He just prepared a gift, who knew that when he came to Antonis, he could see Ye Shuang being a cook? ! Originally, he had prepared a gift for the agent, but the problem was a pair of diamond earrings. He only ordered the preparations before going to the store to get them back the next day... so that's it. The bad guy will confiscate the gift, and he can take the earrings back home and send them to relatives.
"Han, you're too eccentric!" Antonis waited for a while but didn't get the gift. Immediately, the background of the whole person was dark, depressed like a large golden retriever abandoned by its owner, accusing him of grievance.
Ye Shuang couldn't bear it, but put away the key more quickly, and handed over a piece of gingerbread to try to hide the fact that she was the biggest winner tonight: "Here, a gift."
Who cares about such a cheap gift! Antonis snatched the gingerbread angrily, and took a bite as if venting his anger.
Han Chu acted as if he hadn't seen anything, removed his notebook, picked up a knife, cut off the turkey and put it on his plate, Antonis quickly cut off a bigger piece, not wanting to be forgotten, and after a short while, the table was unexpectedly delicious The Christmas dinner quickly attracted everyone's attention. In the scramble to enjoy the delicious food, this year's Christmas Eve was spent lively and cheerfully.
…
Han Chu took a shower before going to bed. When she came out of the room to pour water, she unexpectedly found that Ye Shuang, whose home was next door, hadn't returned yet.
The table is already cleared. There was almost half of the turkey left, which was also wrapped in plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator. Of course, the pasta and mashed potatoes were eaten cleanly, and the plate was thrown into the sink by Ye Shuang to wait for the next day. domestic helper cleans.
The gingerbread figurine baked in two ovens. With the capacity of Han Chu's built-in oven that can handle even a turkey, the biscuits in the two ovens are naturally quite considerable. Except for the three people who ate that day, the rest About a dozen small bags can be divided, and each bag looks like more than ten pieces... Half of them were put into the refrigerator by Ye Shuang as snacks for Han Chu and the other half, and she packed the other half and prepared to take them back. give away.
Antonis had already gone back to his room. It wasn't sure if he was sleeping or finding friends online to hook up, but it meant he was resting anyway. Han Chu originally thought that Ye Shuang should go back, but when he came out, he found Ye Shuang sitting cross-legged by the bay window in the corner of the room, with a thick plush carpet under his body, and a small blanket covering his legs, bowing his head Flying needle shuttle.
"... Wearing a woolen hat?!" It took Han Chu a full three minutes to see what the other party was doing.
"Yeah." Ye Shuang said casually without raising her head, "Didn't Tony want a Christmas gift? Anyway, it won't take much effort, so I'll just type it up..." On the laptop next to him, an exploded diagram showing how to knit a woolen hat was brought up. Well, Ye Shuang will figure it out after a while, anyway, she doesn't need many stitches, that is to say, most people's finger coordination is not as good as hers, so it will take more time.
Han Chu was also speechless. There are young girls who can wear scarves these days, but those who can wear hats can be said to have disappeared. Taking a closer look, the knitting needle in the opponent's hand seemed to be hard to prepare, and it was not obvious that it had the texture of his double-noodle long chopsticks.
It's amazing, what did she use to split the pair of chopsticks so that they became smooth after a while
Han Chu was watching silently, when Ye Shuang thought of something and said embarrassingly: "I'm sorry, Brother Han, I just went home and unwrapped a scarf that a little girl gave to my brother, so I don't have any extra for now, your gift I'll make it up for you tomorrow."
"..." Han Chu lit a stick of wax for the little girl and little brother Ye: "It doesn't matter, I don't care about this."
After he finished speaking, he went into the kitchen and poured water out. After a while, he saw that a finger-width hat had been woven. After thinking about it, he simply sat down and said, "How long will this take? If it's too late, forget it. Tony wants a gift." In fact, it’s just arguing for fun.”
"Probably over an hour." Ye Shuang said with a smile and said, "It can be seen that Tony is not short of money, but the gift is just a meaning... For example, our domestic elders give their children New Year's money, and foreigners probably don't like Christmas gifts. Very important."
There seemed to be some warm smell of ginger candy left in the air. Han Chu took a sip of warm white water, looked out of the window sideways, and said casually, "Tony is more willful and prone to whimsical ideas. It really takes a lot to take care of him." Strength...you worked hard today, except for you, probably no one thought of putting a hat on him himself."
"Well, foreigners probably don't like this kind of handwork." Ye Shuang expressed her understanding.
"Hand-knitted sweaters actually originated in Europe, and it was spread to our country after the Opium War." Han Chu shook his head: "Tony is from Northern Ireland, and there are many elders there who knit sweaters for younger generations...but he was five years old. He was thrown into an orphanage, so I'm afraid he has never received such a gift before."
The needle almost went astray, Ye Shuang raised her head in surprise: "Orphan?!"
I can't see that the golden retriever has such a background at all, are the orphans so awesome now? !
"In fact, he should have a mother. After all, he has started to remember things at the age of 5, but later he didn't want to check." Han Chu slowly turned the cup in his hand: "So the only holiday he can celebrate is Christmas. Besides that, I don’t even remember my own birthday.”
After thinking about it, Ye Shuang felt strange: "I remember that he seemed to fill in his birthday in the file?!"
"... Didn't you notice that that birthday is exactly the same as mine?!" Han Chu snorted sullenly.
Which friend would be so shameless as his friend? ! Ever since we met, he has robbed his parents, not to mention his birthday, and used his baby face to compete for favor in front of the elders all day long. Han Chu was almost compared to a rebellious son at home.
Ye Shuang coughed, she knew what a fart! Han Chu's information will not be stored in the database, so where does she go to find out the other party's birthday.
Han Chu is used to spending Christmas with Antonis every year, but at home, he can only accompany him to eat out, and abroad, he goes to other people's family dinners.
Like this kind of Christmas that is completely Antonis's own, with turkey and gingerbread and all the traditional holiday things, and finally you can get a hand-knitted hat as a holiday gift, but it is still a real first. .
So Han Chu, while comforting his friend, also clearly realized a fact...
The time this bastard bastard will stay in the Celestial Dynasty will definitely be extended! ! !
