Chapter 24

On Christmas Eve, Karenin's department will also open earlier, and it will end at noon.

On this day, every family was immersed in the festive atmosphere.

When she got up in the morning, Anna heard Sarah, the cook, say that it might snow in the evening.

"It would be fun if it snowed."

Russia is still warm this year, and the first snow has not fallen.

Anna has always liked winter. Although she can't help dressing up, she has been living in the south. Snow is always a luxury.

"It's no fun to have a heavy snow. If it snows, a lot of crops will be damaged." Sasha muttered, and Anna walked away and said no more.

"I seem to have said something wrong. Maybe I should wait for the spring to find a time to walk in the field." Anna told Karenin that the latter was reading the morning paper and waiting for breakfast.

"If you want, I remember that your brother, skier, knew a man who had a lot of land in the country."

"Now promise me what to do next year." Anna said with a smile.

Karenin looked up at her and said, "it's nothing. At the beginning of spring, I used to go to the hot springs in Germany to have a rest. We could come back a few days earlier."

"Travel, there are still a few months to go. Now you say it, and I'm looking forward to it."

"Not travel."

"Does grachov say you're not in good health?" Anna asked nervously. She walked up to Karenin with a worried look in her eyes.

Karenin looked soft and said, "don't worry, it's just a routine inspection."

"I'm not in my twenties anymore, and grachov said that hot springs with lots of bubbles are good for my legs."

Anna touched her knee, then tilted her head and said, "you must be old. But he is right. There is no harm in paying more attention to health. "

Seeing that Anna was convinced, Karenin no longer looked at her, but put his eyes back on the official newspapers in the Yamen.

What he didn't know was that Anna was reminded.

"I'm going to prepare dinner with Sasha. Turkey cooking. I'm going to learn from her." Anna laughs at Karenin. She reports on her work during the day.

"If you think it's fun."

"Oh, of course, Alexis, cooking is also a pleasure."

After hearing Anna's reply, Karenin stopped talking about it. Although there were few ladies who loved to cook turkey in the kitchen from his rich experience, it was not a big deal.

After Karenin left, Anna wore a long, dirty dress. Her cat went to the kitchen to help Sasha prepare dinner materials.

Lunch will be simpler, after all, today's finale is the turkey on the table.

When Sasha tied the wings and legs of the turkey with a string, Anna smacked her tongue: "Oh, poor Turkey."

She reached out and poked at the fat, honey coated Turkey, anuska chuckled, and the cook rolled up her sleeves to say they were going to have a big fight.

At noon, Karenin came back and they had a simple lunch together.

Apart from Karenin's day off, Anna never enjoyed lunch with him on such a day. And perhaps because of the atmosphere of the festival, Karenin also seems to speak a little more than usual.

They were having a meal, and soon cabidonec, the porter, came to tell Anna that it was snowing outside.

"I want to see it." Anna said, but the man was up.

Generally, no one of them would leave the table suddenly during the meal, which was not appropriate, but the urgency of snow at the moment made Anna unable to manage the etiquette.

She went to the French window, through the glass, saw the snowflakes flying outside.

Anna gently turned to Karenin and said with a bright smile, "it looks like there will be snow soon."

Karenin didn't react much.

"There will be a lot of snow." Anna repeated, this time for Karenin's troubled sight.

"And then?"

Anna opened her eyes wide and finally lowered her head to sigh.

"Well, forget it for a while. We'll wait until there's snow." She sat back in her chair, continued to enjoy her food, and looked super happy.

Karenin still looked at his wife in some confusion for a while, and finally continued to eat.

Mushroom, food, bad smell, energy.

Beef, food, energy.

Carrots, food, taste sweet, energy.

……

Why is she so happy because of the snow?

Clear food, always let people do not understand the wife, Karenin still some do not understand.

In the afternoon, Karenin stayed in his study to deal with some government affairs. Maybe ordinary officials can relax in this day, but Karenin always has a variety of things, and Anna has no opinion about it. After all, if when Karenin chooses to break up with his work, Anna will start to worry.Maybe she had to suspect that her husband might have been abducted by aliens?

In short, the couple have their own business.

"Madame, is this one?" Anuska found out what Anna wanted, which was put in Anna's dowry. Skier gave her the leather material, golden brown fox skin, which felt very good.

"Yes, that's it." Anna nodded happily, and then she daubed and altered the paper, and then drew to anushikabi that she needed to do this.

"I've never seen anything like that." Anuska was a little surprised.

"In colder places, hunters like to use this kind of kneepad to resist the cold." Anna said that anushka would not continue to ask the question.

"That's beautiful, ma'am." Anuska loved Anna's design.

Anna gives things to anushika. Although she can design some things, it is impossible for her to be a modern person who can pick up the needle and thread and be able to fly. What's more, anuska's craftsmanship is very good. It's a waste to leave such a ready-made handicraft unnecessary.

But she blinked and thought, maybe she could learn it herself. After all, the gifts made by ourselves are different from those made by others.

By the time it was nearly seven o'clock, the snow was already thick.

Anna pulled Karenin into the yard after dinner.

"Let's play with the snow." Anna suggested.

Karenin frowned: "Anna, it's late, and it's too cold. You may get sick."

Karenin is always so pragmatic, as well as, a little confused.

So when Karenin came to pull her, she refused.

"At least, make a snowman with me." She struggled.

Therefore, Karenin kept such an awkward movement, as if he was forcing a child to leave her beloved toy.

Karenin quickly looked around, and then saw Sasha. They were in a circle. After seeing his eyes, they all looked away unnaturally. Colney looked unnaturally at Sasha's head and spoke.

Karenin was silent for a moment, then quickly looked up at him. The people headed by Sasha looked at his wife with a kind of "poor hostess", and occasionally looked at him. His eyes changed into "really cruel master".

Karenin's move was too fast for the servants to take back their sight. But in the end, they all looked at it with interest, especially Sasha. She said in a spoiled tone: "Oh, sir, don't be so rigid. I'll make a pot of hot ginger tea for you."

"My God."

Before Karenin reacted, his wife took the lead.

Anna saw Sasha and them. Her face turned red. Then she stood up and said to Karenin, "let's go."

But to her surprise, Karenin said, "if you want, we can make a snowman."

Anna looked at each other in surprise.

Sasha lit the candle on the ground so that more light could shine on them. So Anna was not sure whether it was the light or what was on Karenin's face.

"Come on, Anna." Karenin said that he squatted down, began to make snow into a ball, and finally rolled it up.

This is not a technical job. Although Karenin did not often do this when he was a child, it is not difficult. He made a snowman's body and a snowman's head beside him.

Karenin piled the head of the snowman on top of his body.

Anna didn't know where to make some stones and even a carrot.

"A snowman without a carrot nose doesn't look like a snowman." Anna was shivering with cold, but she still had a good laugh.

Karenin looked at the snowman carefully. It was really ordinary, and he didn't feel much fun until now.

He still didn't understand why his wife liked the cold game.

However, looking at her reddened cheeks and happy smile, Karenin thought that maybe the snowman itself is not interesting, but there will be a bit of fun.

They returned to the hall and began drinking.

Anna poured a glass to Karenin and half a cup to herself. They drank wine. Through the wine, someone began to sing. Karenin saw that it was kabidonec, the porter.

The room was hot and noisy. He drank wine and looked at his wife's flowery smile. At last, he gave a gentle smile and drank the wine when no one was paying attention.

When he put down the glass, he saw his wife looking at him with a kind of bright eyes.

Karenin slowly stretched out his hand under the table, held the small hand, and once again saw his wife's shy smile and felt the finger of the other party's kickback.

"This is my Christmas present for you, Alexis." His wife said so with a sly smile.Karenin felt that his body was steaming with drunkenness, hazy, even his wife's face seemed to have bright stars shining.

He nodded a little and said, "I like this gift."

"You're drunk, Alexis." His wife's sweet and greasy voice rings in his ear.

Karenin said calmly, "I'm not drunk." Of course he wasn't drunk. The world just disappeared, except for his wife.

It was a beautiful Christmas Eve, he thought, and put this memory in his heart, properly kept.

The next day, Karenin found another gift that belonged to him under the Christmas tree. It was a dark blue handmade scarf with his initials at the end, woven with silver gray silk thread. There is also a pair of knee pads, fur material, these three gifts seem to follow the same concept.

The snowman in the yard was only found in the daytime. It was standing in the door abruptly, but no one could bear to move it away. After all, their own husband discovered this shameful thing early in the morning, but he didn't say anything. He just acquiesced in its existence.

It's Christmas and everyone needs a rest.

It's Christmas day, so all the unreasonable actions of their husband are reasonable, including wearing a scarf at home.

Of course. After all, it's Christmas, isn't it? As for all the trouble caused by this scarf, it will be tomorrow.
