Chapter 60

The smell of blueberry pie appeals to everyone.

When the three little guys saw Karenin sitting on the table, they were surprised, especially Andre and Charlie. They even squeezed each other's eyes.

How could Karenin not see their small movements? He just pretended not to know.

"If someone is slow, I can't guarantee that this delicious blueberry pie will be left for him." Anna blinked.

It's not much fun to say, even if there's no one to cooperate, it's a little funny.

But it's neither Moscow nor Petersburg, and no one is asking the children to behave as if they were at a party. What's more, no matter how mischievous they are, they won't suddenly become wild children in the mud.

Charlie cheered and ran first. Andre fought for it, but Alexey remained a little reserved.

"Etiquette." Karenin frowned.

Charlie and Andre are soon seated properly, but Yu Guang looks at Anna.

Anna smiles and pinches each other's fingers as she passes by Karenin. The small movement is caught by several children and laughs stealthily.

Karenin looked a little embarrassed. He clenched his right hand into a fist and coughed.

"Eat, Petersburg rules are not enough for you to enjoy." Anna said she sat next to Karenin, who gave her a disapproving look, but said nothing more.

Charlie grinned. He was always the boldest one. He told Andre about the games they played in the afternoon and he said he had won several games.

"I thought Alexei was very good. He just looked very smart." Charlie said without malice.

"He let you, fool." Andre swallows the food in his mouth and uncovers it calmly.

Charlie was a little surprised. His green eyes were wide.

"It's impossible!" He said, then looked at Alexei as if he were a little embarrassed.

"You lied to me." Charlie's mouth shriveled and he looked unhappy.

Alexei looked a little confused. His pale face had disappeared at the moment.

"Don't make fun of him." Andre swallows the blueberry pie again, calmly debunking his friend's lies.

Sure enough, the little devil with blonde hair and green eyes put away his pathetic deceptive disguise and grinned: "but I'm really sad. You can win me, but you let me. Oh, my God! It's too small of me. I'm not Andre. I cry when I lose. "

"I didn't cry!" Andre didn't swallow the blueberry pie this time. He raised his fork and hissed a little impolitely to defend himself.

"That's because I hit my toe when I turned around. It hurt!"

Charlie waved, a perfunctory expression: "well, yes, it should be painful." I know you can't afford to lose, so I won't stimulate you.

Andre knew it was intentional, but he just couldn't help it. Charlie's expression was too much to beat.

"Well, stop arguing nonsense." Karenin said that the farce just now did not stop him from enjoying his afternoon tea.

He took a sip of tea, then looked at the blonde and said, "it's necessary to hide your strength, but it can only trick stupid people."

"The smartest thing to do is to give what others want to see."

It means that in the face of stupid and arrogant people, belittle yourself to please them. In the face of smart people, revealing one or two real talents can satisfy their desire for control.

The boys remember that.

After Karenin returned to his study, Charlie sighed, "I envy you that you have such an uncle, and I envy you, Alexei. Mr. Karenin is your uncle."

Andre wanted to keep his face expressionless, but he couldn't help bending the corners of his mouth.

Anna asked these children to help clean up. She didn't want to cultivate a group of young masters who didn't work hard. Where the upper class can't see them, at least they have to learn a little survival skills.

"Oh, he's my husband, OK?" Anna said leisurely to the three boys.

For the first time, the three boys thought to themselves: "woman, you are really jealous and overweight!"

"Boys, come and help with the dishes!"

"Coming!" Andrea answered unhappily, but got up, as they promised.

In addition to a few happy days of play, but also to be a good child, and the so-called good child is to help do housework.

At first, Andre refused.

"Servants will do these things." He didn't understand why they were robbing servants.

"If we do what they do, they won't have a job?" Charlie was a little puzzled.

"You don't always have servants with you. At any time, if you are alone, you have a pile of food in front of you, and you are starved to death because you can't live and cook? Don't you think it's funny? "It seemed reasonable, but it was not enough to persuade these stubborn boys, so Anna said again at that time.

"No one is born to serve others. We're just a little bit luckier than them, and they need it to buy bread

"Oh, of course, I just want you to remember that, although I might prefer you to understand, it's a bit too much. So just remember, OK? Of course, what I asked you to do should not be known to others when you step into society. It will be very difficult to explain. "

"Once you step into society, you represent not only yourself, but your family. So, that's why some people prefer to go to the party hungry and have a decent dress. Although it's ridiculous, they can't change these rules for the time being. "

These nagging words make Andre think that this aunt is really very strange, and, inexplicably, he also began to have a sense of mysterious awe of Anna.

In his young mind, he seemed to understand the obvious difference between his aunt and other ladies.

Although he couldn't fully understand it, in short, the child's intuition told him that it was good, so he completely believed it.

Then all they have to do is wash the dishes.

"I still don't think it's very good." Sasha said some nagging, always can't help but want to take those dishes.

"Dear Sasha, give the boys a little trust."

"But they may break." Sasha complained that what she really cared about was the dishes, not the young men's white hands.

Anna said with a smile, "you heard me."

"We're not idiots." Charlie complained, then slipped his hand.

"Be careful!"

Alexei took the plate.

Anna was relieved, too.

Andre said without expression, "I'll correct it. It's us, not idiots." He pointed to himself and Alexei and excluded Charlie.

"Hey, it's rude. It's just an accident!" Charlie looks for steps for himself. "My hands are very slippery. You can't blame me." Then he made a face. He laughed and finally even Alexei couldn't help smiling.

After the dishes were washed, Andrea and they rushed to the back garden to destroy the creatures. Alexei volunteered to stay to help Anna and them dry the dishes.

"Do you like them?" Anna asked, passing a plate.

Alexei took the plate, wiped it and said, "it's like a brother."

"I'm glad you really feel that way." Anna said with a smile, then asked uncertainly, "are you really?"

"Yes." Alexei showed a gentle smile. The smile was still fragile on his delicate but thin face, as if the wind would blow away, but it was a sincere smile, dazzling like the sunrise.

"Just like it." Anna said, smiling back.

Good, she thought, to see Alexei's smile was like seeing Karenin.

She hoped that at that time, there was a person who could make him smile as much as possible, even if that person was not her. She just doesn't want to be lonely and helpless, even if no one has ever encouraged him, even if he seems to have more than ordinary people, or he seems to be much stronger than many adults.

"Alexei."

"What?"

The boy raised his eyes and looked at her, the light pupil color is no longer so gray, but has a trace of anger.

She felt very happy about this, so she said: "if you feel happy now, in the future, when you meet people in need, under the protection of your own safety, try to help others."

The blonde boy slowly put on a smile, which was very beautiful. He answered.

"I'm glad you're happy now, you're a good kid, and you've got a lot better than your intelligence. You have a kind heart, so please protect it. At the same time, let more worthy people see it. Because it is so precious and shining, it should become more shining in this world

Anna didn't tell Alexei that. It was given to him with a gift.

In the next long time, almost accompany the youth's life.

After that, he also left a sentence in his own handwriting:

"no matter what the original intention of doing good is. Maybe it's not noble, it's just a kind of selfish desire, but if one or two people benefit from it, we shouldn't forcibly analyze one's original intention of doing good. Good hearts should not be criticized. At least, they should not be denied by irrelevant people. If there are one or two people who are not smart enough to take into account their own safety and cause misfortune and pain, we can blame them for their stupidity and carelessness, but only those who really love them, not us, irrelevant people. Don't rush to deny a good deed. Just let him know that you care more about him than others. So next time, please protect yourself and love others.
