Chapter 261 Easter
"Are you back?"
"Have you had fun?"
Pushing open the wooden door in the sun, in the open kitchen, Aunt Susan put down the frying pan in her hand, smiled, and looked at her children and pets standing outside the door.
Worried about his parents' concerns and busy looking for Catherine's whereabouts, Lorraine did not tell her parents about Catherine's past being swept away by undercurrents - so in Aunt Susan's opinion, Lorraine just took her girlfriend and two sisters out for a happy time.
Moreover, this period is not long, only a week.
Yes, it was just a week - on the deserted island, Catherine and Ron spent seven days before they encountered Lorraine and her group who had been forced to land due to plane problems. Then, the old captain took back the people who had lived on the deserted island for a full eleven days after two days of leaving Lorraine.
Under some invisible influence, time seemed to have become a naughty boy. His footsteps, which were almost eternal, jumped away from each other's time and were sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and made everyone's clock a little messed up.
However, when he stepped onto the Manta Ray, the old captain who came to rescue, both Lorraine and Christina tacitly adjusted the time of the phone to the same as the news played on the ship.
Anyway, no one will believe it if you say it out, so why not just keep it in your heart as a beautiful memory?
…………
“We had a lot of fun~”
The four of them looked at each other and smiled, answering Aunt Susan's questions in unison.
This was an extraordinary trip, which made the children of the Diesel family closer, and Lorraine and Christina better understand each other.
“Meow~”
We're back ~
As he rushed into the house earlier than everyone, Ron originally planned to go back to the cat nest he hung on the wall to have a good sleep first. On the deserted island, for Catherine's safety, Ron has always used fake sleep instead of sleep, and has not really had a good sleep.
But the rich meaty aroma floating from the frying pan behind Aunt Susan made Ron stop to the corner of the stairs, but turned around and jumped onto the table and chair, lying on the back of the chair, looking at the frying pan.
In the frying pan, five or six slices of meat steaks with chopsticks were steaming. On the plate next to the frying pan, there was also a large basket of various breads and small slices of pink ham.
“Meow?”
What day is today?
"Mom, fry lamb chops, how do you eat this today?"
“And ham and bread!”
For the Diesel family, which Ron knew, this configuration was definitely a big feast. Then the two sisters who walked into the house holding Tingmeng and Tina asked strangely.
"Are you all confused in Hawaii?"
"Today is Easter, Easter!"
Turning over the fried lamb chops in the pot, Aunt Susan hit the edge of the frying pan with a spatula, making a clanging sound.
Lorraine and the other four left Los Angeles and went to Hawaii in the end of March. In addition, they were teased by time and spent more than ten days without records on the deserted island. Naturally, they forgot that their established return time was the first Sunday of the first full moon after the Spring Equinox every year, which was the day when Jesus resurrected.
Eating lamb chops, like Easter eggs, is one of the traditional Easter habits.
“Oh~”
"It turned out to be Easter!"
"No wonder I saw many children getting out on the way here~"
"Many children hold rabbits~"
There are many traditional habits on Easter, the most typical ones are Easter eggs and Resurrection Bunny.
Europeans regard eggs as a symbol of many children and resurrection, while Christians believe that Jesus is buried in the eggs, and future life will break free from it.
On Easter, people often dye eggs red, representing the blood shed during Jesus’ crucifixion and also symbolizing the joy after resurrection.
There is also an ancient custom that the cooked eggs are given to the children on the streets to play games. They roll the eggs forward, and whoever breaks the eggs will win, and all the eggs belong to him.
Rabbits are also one of the symbols of Easter. Because rabbits have strong fertility, people also regard them as one of the manifestations of their vitality.
Adults often tell children that the easter eggs are laid by rabbits on Easter, and put them in the garden and grass for the children to search for them.
…………
“Meow~”
Let the kids get out ~
This meow only needs delicious food ~
The Egg Game and Egg Finding Game are only attractive to children under the age of ten, and both sisters Ron and Catherine are lacking in interest.
However, Aunt Susan was serving lamb chops from the frying pan and making everyone who had been grilled with swordfish for many days.
The fresh and tender ones were sprinkled with pink grilled lamb chops with perilla and rosemary, and poured with the freshly prepared sauce, which was full of temptation.
"Mom, where is Dad?"
"He is very busy and won't come back to have a meal~"
Although he is already behind the scenes of Breg Hardware Co., Ltd., Dad Tim is still working diligently and continues to serve as the company's quality engineer.
Because it is his own industry and has greater dominance, Dad Tim has stricter control over quality. He would rather make less money than make the product achieve sufficient accuracy.
Because of this, in just one or two months, Breg Hardware Co., Ltd.'s products have opened up sales in the high-end market and have begun to provide spare parts for large groups such as General Motors.
"Sit all right~"
"Tina, you sit here~"
"Let's start praying~"
The delicacies on the dining table are still neatly arranged, Ron still has his own place, with the chopped grilled lamb chops in front of him, while Tina and Tingmeng can only eat under the table.
"Our Father in heaven, may men honor your name as holy."
"May your kingdom come, may your will be done on earth, as in heaven."
“…”
Familiar prayers emerged from Aunt Susan's mouth, and both Ron and the Catherine sisters had new feelings.
After praying with the hair claws, everyone enjoyed a delicious Easter meal, and Ron was finally able to have a good sleep.
…………
Sleep from noon until the next morning.
When Ron crawled out of the cat's nest and stretched, he happened to see two familiar backs leaving home - that were Bruce and Selena.
Judging from their intimate state of hand in hand, it is obvious that good things are coming.
“Meow~”
What are they doing?
Are you here to send an invitation?
With a click, he jumped from the cat climbing rack to the sofa, and Ron moaned comfortably. He hadn't done this for a long time.
However, when Ron was about to jump from the couch to the ground, Lorraine picked him up and placed him on the coffee table.
Then put a stack of A4 papers printed with dense handwriting in front of Ron.
"In addition to coming to send invitations."
"They also brought this."
