Since she had decided to go back to the Dickens' house, Christina stopped wandering on the street and called a taxi immediately.
When Betty opened the door and saw her, her face showed an expression of surprise and joy.
"Just now, Patrick called to ask if you had returned to the Dickens‘ house... How did you get here so fast?"
Betty quickly took her hand into the room and happily pushed her to the kitchen, where Grandma and Donald were eating soup.
"Christina, welcome back."
Mrs. Dickens was overjoyed and quickly got up from her chair.
Betty complained in the kitchen, holding a bowl of soup. "Why didn't you tell me you are going home in advance? I didn't do the grocery shopping today."
She put a bowl of ginseng conch soup on the table and said to Christina, "Go wash your hands and eat it before it's cold."
As she spoke, Betty was busy rummaging through the fridge and lockers to see if there were any ingredients to prepare a sumptuous dinner tonight.
Donald looked at her daughter who was still standing there and urged, "Are you in a daze? Didn't you hear your aunt asking you to wash your hands? Hurry up." His tone was not gentle, as always a strict father's style.
"Hey, Donald, it's been a long time for your daughter to come. Can you speak gently..." Mrs. Dickens looked at him discontentedly.
"You're spoiling her."
Donald's expression was a little complicated and he turned to continue to eat the soup.
When a girl in a family grew up, got married, and occasionally went back to her family home, her family would be very happy. The happiness of the elders was very simple.
Christina went to wash her hands and sat down to eat soup.
The soup Betty cooked tasted very good. Although she was not as professional as the cook of Dickens' family, she liked it very much and her heart was warm.
Connie said she should hate her mother, but she didn't.
Whether what they said was true or not, even if her mother was an unforgivable woman, Donald and Connie might be qualified to hate her, and Betty might be qualified to blame her.
But Christina thought that at least she thanked her for giving birth to her and letting her come to this world as her daughter.
She was a contented girl.
After fiddling in the kitchen for a while, Betty decided to go out and buy groceries.
Grandma was in her eighties, still in very good health. The market was very near. Grandma and Betty went out together with baskets.
Christina would like to join them and help pick up the baskets, but Betty didn't allow it. She said that Christina might be tired and need a rest at home.
"As soon as she comes back, you all serve her like this. You hope her to be lazy in Hopkins family..."
Donald was usually serious at home. If the whole family had spoiled her since she was a child, she would have become an unruly girl.
Christina had been used to it.
When there were only the father and daughter left in the house, Christina sat warmly beside her father, took the ancient coin out of her pocket, and told him seriously, "Dad, let me tell you, this ancient coin is a little weird."
Donald had never thought of her approaching him so warmly before, her relationship with him really improved a lot.
He was old and no longer chased after fame. Seeing that his daughter was willing to be close to him, his eyes were wet.
But no matter how old his daughter was, she was still like this to make him angry. "Weird? You're talking nonsense."
"No, I'm serious. It has always been following me."
Christina knew that he didn't believe her and was in a hurry to explain, "Charles threw it into the lotus pond in Hopkins family last night, but it appeared in front of me again when I came to C City today."
"Dad, what I said is the truth. I'm not lying."
Christina raised her head, and looked at him with sparkling eyes, and said firmly.
Donald looked at her serious face and thought that was funny.
He found that his daughter had lived for more than 20 years without increasing her IQ and EQ.
"Why don't you find a piece of gold? Then tell me that you used it to buy things, and it will come back automatically." It was unusual for Donald to show a sense of humor.
Christina was very depressed. "I'm telling the truth."
"That must be Charles' mischief last night. He didn't throw the coin into the pool and secretly put it back in your pocket."
"No, I saw him throwing the coin into the pool and heard a thud." Christina tried her best to defend herself.
"Things are not what they seem, not to mention the big lotus pond in Hopkins family. If Charles threw a stone, you wouldn't know."
Listening for a while, Christina also thought that her father had a point.
But she didn't understand, "Why did Charles tease me? He was very serious at the time, and he threw it ..."
Donald sighed resignedly. He knew his daughter's obsessiveness very well. She would take one idea and beat it to death since she was a child.
"Dad, when I grow up, can I catch the planes in the sky?"
Donald remembered that on the first day he sent her to kindergarten, a big plane happened to fly by. She was wearing a small floral dress with two braids. She was small, only at the height of his knees, holding his hand and asked.
"Will I grow very tall in the future? "
"No." He replied. She thought she would become a giant.
