“You’re giving yourself up?” A voice came to my ear.
I raised my eyes and saw that it was Dennis, who was standing not far away looking at me, with a few helpless eyebrows, my instinctive reaction was to get up from the ground.
But after thinking about it or give up, anyway, have seen, now save the image is useless.
Some did not have the good grace to say, “Do not you care!”
He walked up and stood aside and said, “I don’t want to control you, but these easy to pick pears, you plan to just spoil?”
I pursed my lips, paused, and picked up all the fruit that had been covered with mud and water, and looked at him and said, “Are you satisfied?”
He looked at me, recently with a few moments of seemingly absent laughter, seems to be holding back a laugh.
He did not reach out to pick it up, just looked at me and said, “Get up, Grandpa Anthony is still waiting to eat it!”
After saying that, he went away by himself, should be no intention to help me, I almost didn’t come up with a breath for a while, feelings this goods is to come over to see me make a fool of myself?
I have been completely a mud man, to the base, Rudolph sitting on the steps to rest, see me for a time open mouth, do not hide their exaggerated expression.
“Miss Kennedy, did you fall in the pit?”
I pursed my lips, wanting to cry, “Sort of!”
He still has a conscience, holding back his laughter from my hands to carry away those mud-covered fruits to wash.
Look at me, “there are bathrooms on this side of the base, you hurry to wash, but you did not bring a change of clothes, if you do not mind, use my first to make up for it!”
In addition to this, I can’t think of any other way for a while.
Nodded and said, “Okay, thank you!”
He laughed and said, “You’re welcome, go on!”
I was covered in mud, everywhere I went, there were people who looked over, that look, the feeling that I rolled in the mud in general.
It was hard to get to the bathroom and Toby looked at me in the makeshift shower area and said, “Miss Kennedy, Dennis asked me to bring you some clothes!”
I could see that he was holding back a laugh.
I couldn’t help but hold my tongue, and didn’t continue to pretend, taking the clothes from his hands, I held my temper for half a day and said in a bad mood, “You tell Dennis, I’m not going to thank him for the clothes he sent me, I’m like this because of him, count on him to have a conscience, and know to send me clothes.”
Toby nodded, his face held a smile and spoke, “Miss Kennedy, you go in first and wash up, I’m here to keep watch for you, go ahead!”
Because this side of the base is all men, so there is no division between men and women, the good thing is that the bathrooms are all separate.
I nodded and saw Rudolph carrying clothes over, I thanked him very much and said, “There are clothes over here, thank you!”
He saw this, smiled and said, “It’s okay, it’s okay, I’ll get busy then.”
I went into the bathroom to wash and came out, my clothes were all muddy, I rinsed them, but because there was no place to cool them, I had to fold them and put them in a bag.
When I came out Toby looked at me and saw that I was normal and said seriously, “Miss Kennedy, I’ll go first.”
I nodded and said thank you!
After a busy day, I was planning to go back directly, halfway to meet Rudolph, he said, “Miss Kennedy, Toby just came to inform, said later together with dinner, you do not rush back!”
I frowned, “Didn’t we just eat together this morning?”
He smiled, “Anthony is not an old man, I think Dennis is thinking of calling a few more people, we eat together also lively, I heard that Anthony is usually living alone, occasionally is his own granddaughter over to see, the old man is old, like our younger generation together, lively.”
That’s true!
I nodded and agreed, “Okay, or the attractions area?”
He nodded, “I will pull the goods over later, it may be a bit much, Dennis they drove, you will sit with them later!”
“Okay, okay!”
After a pause he said, “By the way, Anthony heard about the fruit you picked and asked you to go and eat it together? You go!”
I was stunned, “I picked a lot of them, have you eaten them?”
He nodded, “Yes, I did. Toby brought us a big bag, we’re tired of eating in the orchard every day, so don’t miss us.”
After saying hello to him, I went straight to Anthony’s office.
Before I went in, I heard a cheerful voice from inside at the door.
It was Anthony’s voice, “Sheila, you’re really good at talking, I haven’t been this happy as an old man in a long time.”
Sheila returned, “Grandpa Anthony you can not say so, you your old man will say, we young generation, can accompany you to talk, is already an honor, if you can make you happy, that is already a great blessing!”
The words fell, inevitably led to another sound of laughter, can not deny that Sheila will indeed deal with human relations than me.
I raised my hand and knocked on the door, the voice inside continued, is Anthony said, “Fu boy, you and Sheila when you got married that year, when I was sick this old bones, tossing back and forth for fear of not being able to withstand, so did not go.”
Said, then from the pocket of the Zhongshan suit pulled out a fine small box, handed to Sheila said, “Sheila, this is my old man prepared a little token of appreciation, not expensive, is when I went to Zuy to fight, the war, my wife sent me, these years I have been saving, is a pile of dragon and phoenix bracelets, you take, as a little token of my appreciation. ”
Sheila is a little flattered, looked at Dennis, the meaning is clear, is to ask if he can take.
Dennis probably did not expect that Anthony would suddenly give something, after a slight freeze, he reached out and took the box from Anthony’s hand, and said, “Grandpa, we appreciate your feelings, but this bracelet is your memory of grandma, I can’t accept it!”
The old man saw him push back, some upset, “Who let you accept, this thing is my gift to thd George family’s granddaughter-in-law, you do not get, let Sheila come!”
Said himself opened the box, took out the bracelet inside, put it on Sheila’s wrist, and laughed, “Sheila, you in the future, ah, to be good with this brat!”
Sheila probably did not expect that she would suddenly receive such a gift, some confused look at Dennis.
Dennis frowned slightly, but looking at the old man seemed to be very happy, it is not good to say more.
I originally knocked on the door, but saw that the people inside seemed to be quite preoccupied, so I thought it would be a bad idea to disturb them, so I simply turned around and prepared to leave.
“Mrs. George, you’re here!” Toby suddenly appeared behind me with a plate of peeled fruit and looked at me and said.
I was taken aback and eased up a bit before speaking, “Are you going to peel the fruit?”
