Chapter 114 114 The Festival Is Coming
Joseph looked at the three people who were snickering, confused, and didn't understand what was going on, but he didn't intend to intervene in their conversation. He saw the red costume on Alex's hand at first sight, and also Instead of questioning the content of their conversation, he pointed to the costume, "What is this?"
"Halloween!" Alex raised his hand and cheered happily, obviously, twenty-year-old Alex had been looking forward to Halloween for a long time, "Look, this is a second-hand store I went to How about the clothes I found in the store, it's very good, it's very good!"
"This...is...what?" Hugo looked at the red one-piece shirt with question marks all over his head, "Is this tight?" Hugo saw the material of the dress and strongly doubted that after putting it on Effect.
"Yes." It was Charlize who answered, with a resolute tone that showed her expertise, but the horrified expression wasn't so interesting. Hugo and Charlize looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths twitched.
"Spider-Man, this is Spider-Man, can't you all see it?" Alex was still reluctant to give up hope, his eyes flashed with anticipation, and his eyes kept moving on Charlize, Hugo and Joseph.
Hugo suddenly had a bunch of black lines on his forehead. He could guarantee that if Spider-Man went out wearing such a costume, he would definitely be eliminated as a non-mainstream person, especially since Hugo had seen live-action movies released in the 21st century.” In the case of Spider-Man", then this suit is even more bizarre.
Joseph's reaction was a little better. He looked up and down carefully twice, and nodded reluctantly, "Although it feels a little different from the comics, why don't you choose blue pants?"
Alex also pulled his red trousers regretfully, "Because of the price..."
"Oh..." All three of Joseph suddenly realized, and then Joseph pointed to the sleeve, "What are you going to do with the spider web?" Although there is a spider logo on the chest of the clothes, if there is no spider web, then Not even Spider-Man.
"I have a plan, I'm going to..." Alex saw Joseph's response, and immediately said excitedly, with a long-winded thought.
"You really have been looking forward to Halloween for a long time." Hugo couldn't help but sigh. Although he also participated in Halloween activities before, it was rare for him to be as enthusiastic and proactive as Alex, maybe because in the There is no Halloween tradition in Asia, and the atmosphere in this area is not so strong.
"Of course! I've been looking forward to this day for a long time!" Alex's eyes almost radiated light, "...Aren't you all prepared?" Alex found that none of the three people in front of him responded. , that surprised tone almost broke.
"What are you going to do?" Charlize asked curiously, and she still didn't know enough about American customs. "For candy? But you're past the age of trick-or-treating." In fact, there are quite a few College students also play trick-or-treating on Halloween, but enjoying the atmosphere is more important than candy, and of course, mischief.
"It's a big party, it's not about age!" Alex explained excitedly, but still got no response, "Oh, God! You are all a bunch of boring people! Boring!" Alec Si obviously can't understand why some people don't like Halloween. "You guys are not prepared for Halloween, this is really scary."
Alex complained angrily and walked back to the room with his part in the scene. Looking at Alex's straight back, the three Hugo looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
"It reminds me of my little sister Mary's expectations for Halloween." Joseph recalled his family, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but draw a smile, "She always stood in front of the pumpkins early, waiting for us to dig the pumpkins together. But look After the jack-o-lanterns were decorated, I was so scared that I always wanted to hide behind me, and I had to take her to ask for candy, and even my brother Peter offered to go to her, so every year on Halloween. , I'm always busy."
Joseph's words made Hugo and Charlize smile, which is always the case when talking about family.
"What about this year, do you want to go back?" Hugo asked. In his memory, Joseph didn't seem to go back last year, neither on Halloween, Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Joseph sighed, "Mary has grown up, and she won't need me to take her to get candy for several years." This is very regretful and full of melancholy. "Besides, we should have a promotional event for Halloween." Joseph took a deep breath and adjusted his slightly lost mood, "But Thanksgiving has a holiday, are you going to go back?"
When Joseph asked this question, Hugo's first reaction was to look at Charlize, because he didn't think this was asking himself. Not only did he not go home for ten years, but more importantly, he had no "home" here. "Returnable, he can't go back through time.
Charlize didn't react, she was stunned, she thought she was asking Hugo, but why did the question come to her, "No, I won't go back, I'll go to New York at Christmas, and my mother and I made an agreement. All right. What about you?" Charlize threw the question back to Hugo.
It was only then that Hugo realized that, no, he has a home here to go back to. Hugo Lancaster is not an orphan, on the contrary, his parents are still alive. However, the problem is that it has been ten months since Hugo has crossed over, but he has never spoken to his parents on the phone, let alone met, and the memory of the family in his mind is still only a few scattered and vague fragments, except for Knowing that his parents divorced, there is not much specific information.
So according to common sense, is it not obvious that parents have not contacted their children for up to ten months? The relationship between parents and children is very bad, no matter who is right or wrong, but at least there is no sign of warming now. Therefore, after Charlize threw the question over, Hugo was stunned for a few seconds, not knowing how to answer.
Joseph looked at the silent Hugo. He also had very limited knowledge of Hugo's family affairs. It is estimated that Ron Mayer or Tracy Jacobs would know more, but Joseph and Hugo have been together for more than a year. During the time, Hugo had hardly contacted his parents. The only few contacts seemed to be before Christmas last year, and they all broke up unhappily. Family is not a frequent keyword in Hugo's conversation dictionary.
"Hugo, why don't you try to give your father a call?" Joseph suggested uncertainly. If it was before, Joseph would not have given Hugo any family advice at all, because he didn't bother to pay attention to Hugo's personal life. Life, Hugo is not worth it; but since this year, Hugo has changed a lot, and the two people get along a lot better, so Joseph tentatively gave a suggestion.
Sure enough, after hearing this suggestion, Hugo didn't get angry like Joseph was worried, but pondered for a while, "Why don't I try it?"
But what to say after the call? Don't talk about the father who has never met, even if it is Hugo's parents before the time travel, he has not been in contact for a long time, and even if there is contact, it is always with his mother. Suddenly Hugo noticed that what Joseph proposed was to Father contact, not mother, is there any reason for this?
Furthermore, Hugo did not have the habit of celebrating Thanksgiving. He knew that the tradition of Thanksgiving in the United States was family gatherings, and then complained and quarreled with each other. Many family conflicts in American movies broke out on Thanksgiving. Hugo did not know it was a movie. Exaggeration or real life; so Hugo didn't know what to say after calling his father, "Let's have a meal together?" Or "Should we get together this Thanksgiving?"
Hugo rubbed his temples, and he had a headache before he called. Joseph got some courage from Hugo's affirmative reply just now, and then said, "You can say hello and see what plans he has for Thanksgiving. As for the rest...you will have an idea during the call."
"Phew...I see." Hugo adjusted his breath, "Phone number, my father's phone number...do you have it?" Hugo wrinkled his nose, "I don't remember." Levels that don't admit, because Hugo doesn't have any clues in his head.
Joseph didn't have any surprises, it seemed to be a matter of course, "I remember there seems to be a note in your wallet, if not, you can check the script of the 'Dead Poets Society', you are always used to putting some important information in the Inside, or simply record it on it." Hugo used to be a little superstitious, thinking that the "Dead Poets Society" brought him good luck, so he was always used to saving some important things in the script.
Hugo frowned, "Okay, I see. Anyway, it's still a while before Thanksgiving, so don't worry." It would be great if he could recall more about the family during this time. At least you have to know what is going on with your mother. If you can brew up the content of the conversation with your father, it will be more perfect.
"So, what's for dinner tonight?" Hugo looked at the vegetables on the table. Charlize sorted all the vegetables on the table for a long time, but never put them in the refrigerator.
Charlize knew that Hugo was changing the subject, but she did not pierce Hugo, but lowered her head to look at the vegetables on the table, "There are still some clams in the refrigerator, so let's prepare pasta. In fact, if you buy more When some potatoes come back, we can also make mashed potatoes. It's a pity that there are only three..." Charlize reluctantly rolled over the three lonely potatoes on the table.
"Why did you only buy three potatoes?" Joseph asked with a surprised face, which suddenly brought the topic back to the topic before Joseph entered the door. Hugo and Charlize looked at each other and laughed.
