Chapter 1069: Self-help

　　 The sun slowly sinked into the horizon, the sky gradually dimmed, and the lights in the manor were all on in an instant. In the brightly lit restaurant, the housekeeper Nikia brought the servants to bring out plates of exquisite meals from the kitchen.
　　 Jessica Felton directed the servant to put the meal on the table according to her plan.
　　 Tonight is Thanksgiving, Jessica Felton and Ronan spent the first Thanksgiving together, so she has to arrange it.
　　 Cranberry moss jam, sweet potato, corn, pumpkin pie, baked into golden bread, and various fruits and vegetables.
　　 The indispensable turkey is still in the oven and will be served when the dinner starts.
　　 These are all dinners specially prepared in the kitchen according to Jessica Felton's request.
　　 Of course, Jessica Felton didn't cook any meals herself, because she knows herself that what she makes is not poison, but few people can eat it.
　　Nikia brought the servant to bring the meal for the second time.
　　 Jessica Felton sets the table in the style of her hometown.
"Fruits and vegetables are on the periphery." In order to reduce the troubles of the servants, Jessica Felton asked the two servants who brought the big pumpkin: "Is the pumpkin hollowed out? "
　　 The middle-aged maid replied: "It has been emptied."
Jessica Felton pointed to the dining table and ordered: "Put the pumpkin in the middle of the dining table." When the two servants put the pumpkins, they said: "Pumpkins put the dried fruits without shells. Nikia, Where’s the candle you prepared? Put one on top of the pumpkin and let Ronan light it when the meal will start."
　　 Nikia took the candle and came to the table, erected the candle in the slot reserved in advance, and asked, "Is this your custom?"
Jessica Felton said:
It’s the people from my hometown, combined with some habits in Mexico, evolved, and passed on for decades. I’m not very clear about the details. My parents were on Thanksgiving Day. The dining table is arranged like this."
　　 Although it felt a little strange, Nikia didn't say anything, and prepared Thanksgiving dinner exactly in accordance with Jessica Felton's idea.
　　 Jessica Felton looked at the table with satisfaction, and asked Nikia: "How long will the turkey get better."
　　Nikia said, "You can bring it up anytime."
　　 Jessica Felton asked curiously: "How did Ronan spend Thanksgiving before?"
　　 Nikia thought of the beautiful women who had been passing by, and said insincerely: "It's the same as usual."
　　 Jessica Felton did not ask any more, and said: "Bring the turkey up, I'll call Ronan."
　　 A few minutes later, Ronan, accompanied by Jessica Felton, walked into the restaurant. The first thing he saw was the large pumpkin in the center of the table.
　　 "I remember Halloween is over." Ronan came to the table.
　　 Jessica Felton took out a small and exquisite lighter from his pocket, stuffed it into Ronan's hand, and said, "Go ahead and light that candle."
　　 Ronan couldn't figure it out: "What custom is this?"
　　 said that, he still lit the candle according to Jessica Felton's words.
　　 Dinner also started. Ronan picked up the knife, sliced ​​the roasted turkey into dark brown, and carefully sliced ​​Jessica Felton into thin slices.
　　 Jessica Felton has been looking at Ronan, with a charming smile on his beautiful and delicate face.
　　 is the smile of happiness and love.
　　 Then, she also picked up the knife, cut bread and pumpkin pie and other foods, and put them in front of Ronan.
　　 Seeing the cut turkey meat in front of him, Jessica Felton said, "Thank you, dear."
　　 Ronan would take Chinese marinade and salt and pepper with a smile, sprinkle it on his plate of turkey, and ask, "Want to try it?"
　　As a native of Southern California, Jessica Felton didn't like these. She fetched cranberry moss jam and said, "This is better for me."
　　 Food tastes vary greatly depending on the region. Some people’s mouths are super delicious, while others may be very toxic.
　　 This is the simplest and most common phenomenon.
　　 Therefore, Ronan has never allowed Jessica Felton to adapt to his tastes, anyway, he has the conditions, and the kitchen is just a piece of cake for different tastes.
　　 Ronan swallowed the roast turkey in his mouth, pointed to the candle on the pumpkin lantern, and asked, "My dear, what is this for? Why haven't I seen such a Thanksgiving custom in Southern California?"
"I don't know exactly what it is for." Jessica Felton told the truth: "It is roughly related to blessings and the like. My hometown will do this on Thanksgiving, but it is only limited to my parents. The customs of the town where I live are different if I leave that town."
Ronan nodded, expressing his understanding. When living on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, there were too many cases like this. For example, weddings and funerals are important for one person. Not to mention the difference between a city and a city, sometimes two neighboring villages. The customs are different between.
　　 For example, in the two villages across the river, the custom in the south is to hold weddings in large numbers.
　　 The custom in the north is to hold a funeral. A funeral for half a month costs more than 100,000 to 200,000 yuan.
　　 Many people have returned to poverty because of marriage, and many have returned to poverty because of funerals.
　　 "What do you think?" Jessica Felton asked.
　　 Ronan recovered and asked, "I rarely hear you talk about your parents."
　　 Jessica Felton said simply: "They live in a small town in San Diego and have a good time. I will visit them every two months."
　　 Luo Nan raised the cup: "I wish them happy and healthy."
　　 "Thank you." Jessica Felton raised the glass and touched Ronan.
Ronan didn’t ask about Jessica Felton’s parents again. There are a lot of old people here, and there are also a lot of independent people. There are even a considerable proportion of people who rarely contact their parents after they reach adulthood, like Jie There are not many people like Sika Felton who do not live in the same city as their parents, but visit their parents regularly.
　　 In a warm atmosphere, the two enjoyed a Thanksgiving dinner and then went for a walk in the garden together.
　　 The sky is completely dark, the sky is good tonight, the bright moon is in the sky, and the ground is full of brilliance.
　　 Walking on the garden path covered with moonlight, on both sides are blooming irises, and the faint fragrance of flowers is constantly floating, which is very romantic.
　　 The two held hands tightly, and no one spoke to break the rare peace and warmth.
　　 They all know very well that it is not easy to get together, and they cherish it very much.
　　Mature people, although they don't have the desperate impulse when feelings erupt, they know how to get along better.
　　 In this world, the more violent feelings that burst out at the beginning, the faster they end.
　　 The sudden ringing of the telephone ring broke the tranquility and warmth between Ronan and Jessica Felton, and the musical ringtones spread far and wide in the empty garden.
　　 Ronan reluctantly took out his cell phone, looked at the number, and said, "Tom."
　　 Jessica Felton knows who this Tom is, one of Ronan’s best friends-Tom Cruise.
　　 Luo Ann walked a few steps forward alone, and then answered the phone: "Hi, Tom, something?"
　　 "It's okay." Tom Cruise didn't sound very emotional: "I'm depressed after drinking and I want to find someone to chat with."
　　 Ronan thought that today is Thanksgiving, and asked: "Are you alone tonight?"
　　 Although he retired from the ranks of lumberjacks, Tom Cruise is still a very active lumberjack. With his reputation and ability, it is not difficult to find someone to spend Thanksgiving night together.
Tom Cruise said in a low voice: "I had an appointment, but I received a call in the afternoon. Nicole Kidman invited my lonely ex-husband over to spend Thanksgiving with her and her current husband. The interest was gone, and the appointment was turned off."
Ronan really didn’t know what to say for a while. In this place in the United States, similar situations are not uncommon. If the relationship is good enough, it’s normal for a couple to invite a partner’s ex as a guest, but more often they happen. To the child's family.
　　 Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, do they really want to entangle themselves for a lifetime?
　　 "You know, Ronan! I'm going crazy, I've had enough!" Tom Cruise's voice is not too high, but he speaks quickly: "I'm so sick and want to vomit!"
　　 Ronan could only relieved: "Calm down, Tom. Calm down, it's useless to be excited."
There was silence on the phone for a while, and Tom Cruise’s voice returned to normal: "I’m all ill. Ronan, I see... No, I just have to think about it, blonde, fair skin, tall, as long as Thinking of this kind of woman makes me sick..."
　　This kind of reaction ~EbookFREE.me~ Ronan can fully understand that under Nicole Kidman's tireless efforts, Tom Cruise has suffered from ex-wife syndrome.
　　 Tom Cruise's questioning voice rang in his ears: "Ronan, what should I do? Am I out of help?"
　　 Hearing the successive questions, Ronan thought for a while, pretending to be serious, and said, "Tom, I'll give you a suggestion to help yourself."
　　 "What advice?" Tom Cruise asked.
　　 Ronan said in a very solemn tone: "Go and find a black a date."
"Uh..." Tom Cruise over there understood the cold joke, couldn't help but laughed, and said, "By the way, what did Will say about Sister Williams? I don't want to turn off the light. Can see the teeth."
　　 Tom Cruise improved significantly, and said, "Is there something tonight? How about we go to the bar?"
　　 Ronan said: "You can ask Will, I won't be with you."
　　 Tom Cruise understands: "Well, a good man who loves, let's accompany his girlfriend."
　　 Hanging up, Ronan put away his phone, returned to Jessica Felton, and said, "Wait in a hurry?"
　　 Jessica Felton shook her head: "It's okay."
　　 Ronan said simply: "Tom is in a bad mood, I have a few more chats with him."
　　 Jessica Felton nodded slightly: "Let's go, let's go back."
　　 "Well, go back." Ronan pulled her up and left: "This is such a beautiful night, we can't waste time, we must cherish every minute and every second."
