We think that people who love each other will be together, but reality teaches us that "the right people" should be together. But what should be done is the right thing to do? Because he was spoiled by Joe and Rachel early on (Friends), the more he read, the more sorry for Joe, seeing Laurie and Amy married, knowing that there will be no more reversals, and even wanting to throw the kindle into the refrigerator. Not entirely because the author broke up my beloved cp.
In the evening, the eldest daughter, Mega, was writing to her father, reporting that her mother had arrived home safely.
The second daughter, Joe, quietly went upstairs and came to her mother's side, looking worried and hesitant.
"What's wrong, baby?" Mrs. March asked.
"I want to tell you something, it's not a big deal, but I'm annoyed. Laurie said his governess, Mr. Brooke, liked Meg and was afraid to speak. Meg was young, brooke was so poor. You see, isn't things terrible? ”
"Do you think Meg likes him?" Mrs. March asked worriedly.
"Oh my God! Love is such a boring thing, I don't understand anything! Joe shouted, "In the novel, girls have love, either blushing and heartbeating, or becoming emaciated and haggard." Meg isn't like that yet, but when I talk about the man, she stares at me. ”
Mrs. March asked again, "Then you think Mega doesn't like John?" ”
"Who is John?" Joe asked with wide eyes.
Mrs. March replied, "Mr. Brooke, we started calling him that when we were in the hospital. ”
Joe was furious, "Oh my God! I know. He's nice to Dad, you're not going to send him away. If Meg wanted to, let her marry him. Coaxing Daddy and helping you again, just to deceive your likes, really despicable! ”
Mrs. March smiled, "Well, don't be angry about this, he's very honest about Meg." He told us that he loved Mega and that he was ready to work hard before proposing to her. He's really a nice lad, and we can't refuse his request, but I wouldn't have agreed to let Mega get engaged so young. ”
At the thought that his sister would fall in love, Joe was still angry.
Mrs. March sighed and said, "It is natural for you to start your own families in the future." Mega was only seventeen years old, and it would be years before John was able to start a family. My opinion with your father is that if she and John fall in love, they can wait, and that can also test their love. ”
Joe was puzzled: "Don't you want her to marry a rich man?" ”
Mrs. March looked at Joe solemnly and said, "Money is a very useful good thing, Joe, I don't have the luxury of asking my daughter to marry into a prestigious family." I hope john has a stable and good career. If I'm not mistaken, John is a good man, and that's more precious than money. ”
Christmas is approaching day by day.
On this day, when the weather was clear, Laurie opened the door to the living room and excitedly said, "There's a Christmas present for the March family." After saying this, he quickly flashed away, and a tall man appeared in front of everyone, his head tightly wrapped in a scarf, revealing two eyes, supported by another tall man.
Mr. March is back! Everyone rushed up and hugged Mr. March tightly.
Mrs. March was the first to look back and raise her hand to warn everyone: "Shhh! Don't forget beth on the break! But it was too late, and Beth rushed out of the room and threw herself into her father's arms.
The family was finally reunited. Mr. March said that he had long wanted to surprise everyone, and when the weather cleared and the doctor allowed him to be discharged, he would come back. He spoke of what a righteous and honorable young man Brooke had been taking good care of him.
Mr. March stopped at this point and glanced at Mega, only to see that she was poking the fire hard. He then frowned again with a puzzled face and looked at his wife.
As night falls, the happy family sits around the fire.
The second daughter, Joe, said: "Just a year ago, it was also Christmas Eve, and we were all complaining and complaining about the unfortunate Christmas. Remember that? ”
"The year has been smooth overall!" Meg said with a smile on her face to the fire.
"I think it's been a tough year." Amy said that her days at Aunt March's house were indeed a bit bitter.
Mr. March took Meg's hand, pointed to the rough index finger, the little burn scar on the back of the hand, and the two or three calluses on the palm of his hand, and said: "I remember that this hand used to be white and tender, and in my opinion, it is more beautiful now, because it can bring happiness to the family." ”
"What about Joe?" Please praise her. She was also so hard and so good to me. Beth muttered in her father's ear.
Mr. March looked at Joe, smiled, and said, "Although she has short hair, I see a young lady who doesn't whistle, walks gracefully, and can take care of a child like a mother. ”
Listening to his father's praise, Joe's bright eyes were a little blurry for a moment.
"Now it's Beth's turn." Amy said.
At the thought of almost losing this daughter, the father hugged Beth tightly and said, "It's all right, my Beth, I want you to be safe, may God bless." ”
The father looked at little Amy again and said, "I found that Amy had been running errands for her mother all afternoon, and she was patiently serving everyone this evening." I'm sure she's learned to think more about others, and I'm incredibly proud. ”
The eldest daughter, Mega, has been upset lately. Neighbor Laurie always jokes about her and Mr. Brooke, and the second daughter, Joe, is very hostile to Brooke.
On this day, Brooke comes to March's house to return an umbrella and meets Mega. Just as Brooke takes Mega's hand, which Meg tries to avoid, Aunt March arrives.
Aunt March had come to see Mr. March, and as soon as she entered the door, Mega was startled, and Brooke retreated into the study.
"Oh my God, what the hell is going on?" The old lady looked at the flushed Meige and shouted.
Mega stammered, "That's Daddy's friend." ”
As she sat down, my aunt asked, "What did your father's friend say that made you blush like a peony?" ”
"We were just chatting. Mr. Brooke had come to get an umbrella. ”
The aunt was a little angry: "Brooke? Is that boy's tutor? Ah, I see. Do you want to marry this governess? If it were true, I wouldn't pass on a penny to you. ”
Most of us have a little willfulness in our bones, especially young lovers. If the aunt pleaded with Mega to accept John Brooke, Meg might flatly refuse to accept it.
But if someone asked her not to like John, she would be determined to like him.
Mega seemed very excited and rejected the old lady with extraordinary courage. "I'll marry whomever I love!"
"Unbridled! I'm good-intentioned! Go to the grass house and do your love dream, you will regret it. ”
Mega retorted, "I won't regret it! ”
The aunt found that she was not in a good position, and said as gently as possible: "Good boy, listen to me." I'm doing it for your own good and don't want to see you take the wrong first step and ruin your life. You have to marry a rich man and help your family, and that's your responsibility. ”
"Dad and Mom don't think so. They knew John didn't have any money, but they still liked him. ”
"My baby, your parents, like two little children, don't know anything sophisticated."
The aunt continued to enlighten Meg, but Meg did not want to hear a word, she said to her aunt: "John is very smart, hard-working, sure to do a career, everyone likes him." I'm a little girl, I don't have any money, I don't know anything, but he likes me, and I'm very proud. ”
"He knows you have a relative, a child, and I guess that's why he likes you."
"Auntie, how dare you say that?" Mega shouted angrily, "My John won't marry for money, and neither will I." I believe that I will be happy with him because he loves me. ”
The aunt was very upset, and she was bent on finding a happy marriage for her beautiful niece, but Meige made the old lady feel sad.
"Well, I can leave it alone!" You wayward. I'm so disappointed in you that I don't have the heart to look at your dad anymore. Don't expect anything when you get married, I don't give anything! Then, the aunt slammed the door in front of Mega and left angrily.
Before Meg could return to her senses, Mr. Brooke rushed out of the study, hugged her, and said in one breath, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop, Meg." Thank you for speaking for me. I would also like to thank Aunt March, who confirmed that you really like me a little. ”
"If she doesn't scold you, I don't know how much I like you." Mega said.
So, the love affair between The March family's eldest daughter, Mega, and brooke, the governess next door, was officially determined.
Three years on, not much has changed in the calm home. Mr. March was busy with the affairs of the parish all day.
Mrs. March is still as fiery and optimistic as she used to be.
The eldest daughter, Mega, is married, and although she is poor, the young couple loves each other.
The second daughter, Joe, did not return to Aunt March's house, and the old lady fell in love with Little Amy, and in order to buy her, even offered to hire the best painting teacher for her. Joe devoted himself to literature while taking care of his third daughter, Beth. Although scarlet fever has long been a thing of the past, Beth's body is still very weak.
