[Gone With the Wind] Daughter Difficult

Before the Rhett family went to the Expo, Atlanta was still full of vitality in the summer, and it was already the end of summer and early autumn when we came back, perfectly avoiding the summer heat in the south.

The front yard and the back yard of the Butler mansion are quite large. The front yard is lush and green, the ground is full of fragrant grasses, flowers are in full bloom, gazebos, stone benches and tables, rockery fountains, small pools with fish swimming, and winding paths. The backyard was originally opened as a horse farm, and the stables were also in the backyard. However, because Bonnie almost died of falling from a horse, the horse farm in the backyard was almost put on hold.

The dense shade of trees shelters the last sweltering heat of the late summer for the huge yard, leaving behind a comfortable coolness.

This time, Bonnie's party was held in the front yard. According to Bonnie's own intention, she wanted to hold a barbecue party, and the place here was spacious enough.

Although Melanie was also helping at the party this time, the little guests this time were all invited by Bonnie herself.

Because Bonnie did bring back a lot of new and fashionable gadgets from Europe——

What she prepares for all the girls is a Parisian silk handkerchief and a small bottle of perfume.And to match it, there is a large bottle of perfume that Scarlett is going to give to those ladies.The designer who designed the perfume bottle had a lot of ideas. When they were in the store, Scarlett and Bonnie fell in love with this one immediately, because they bought too much and enjoyed a relatively favorable discount.

Scarlett was still a little apprehensive. These southern aristocrats never seemed to like to sprinkle some fragrant things on their bodies, just like they thought that putting powder, rouge and lipstick on their faces were all sluts who didn't know self-love and had bad reputation. Something too good a woman would do.

But to be honest, Scarlett didn't really care about their opinions, but she didn't want her daughter to be disappointed.

Bonnie is still young and doesn't know much about the etiquette and upbringing among these women, but Scarlett thinks that she is already well-behaved and sensible when she is so young and knows how to buy gifts for her friends. If she remembers correctly, the last party At that time, Bonnie also gave a lot of small toys to her friends.

After Rhett heard about it, the man went so far as to buy more presents to reward Bonnie for being so considerate of her friends.

Now Scarlett just hoped that they would all come, so that Bonnie's thoughts would not be wasted.

Everyone is making intensive preparations, only one person is a little unhappy.

When Bonnie was preparing gifts for everyone, the sullen Ella was in sharp contrast to Bonnie, who was humming and twisting her butt in high spirits.

Bonnie looked at the small gift box she had put on the table, and felt that there was not much space, so she asked Ella, "Sister, can you help me see it? I think it looks a little weird."

The box on the table has been placed in the shape of a heart, and the veil is placed in the middle of the heart, but it is a bit crooked. Bonnie adjusted the position, but it was always annoying.

"Ella?" Getting no response, Bonnie asked again.

"Bonnie, do you want to give all these away?"

"Huh?" Bonnie turned around puzzled, nodded and said, "Yes,"

"Why? These are ours."

"We already have it." Bonnie took the initiative to walk to Ella's side and took her little hand, "And when I bought these, I wanted to give them to them."

Ella's hair is flaxen, and the carefully groomed hair is not frizzy, which makes her delicate and fair face even more white.Today, her bangs are side-parted, braids on both sides hang down on her chest, and a cute little daisy is inserted in her ear. Wearing the new clothes and pleated skirt bought from Paris, she looks extraordinarily sweet.

Although Ella's father, Scarlett's second husband, Frank, is not good-looking, but Ella is not like her father, but inherits Scarlett's beauty, with slightly raised corners of the eyes, green eyes, With fair skin, it would be nice if she was more cheerful and lively, instead of always hiding in a corner alone playing with her dolls.

At this moment, Ella's expression was gloomy.

Bonnie looked at Ella with a "isn't it right?" expression, "Sister, are you unhappy?"

"I..." Ella couldn't say why, she felt that these things belonged to their family, why those children could get these beautiful and exquisite things without doing anything.

She closed her mouth dumbly, and her little face collapsed.

The adults were not around, and Bonnie felt that Ella's reluctance to give these gifts to others was largely due to possessiveness.

After getting along for so many days, although Bonnie thinks that Ella is still a delicate and withdrawn little girl, she still has a good heart.

Education should start from an early age, so that there is a possibility of turning around. If a selfish concept of eating alone is established from now on, it will only become a selfish person in the future.

"Why are you unhappy?" Bonnie said persuasively, "I think it is a very happy thing to give gifts to others. Look at these handkerchiefs and perfumes. They are all chosen by my mother, and you and I chose them together." , my brother and Xiao Bo don’t understand these things. Don’t you think they are very beautiful?”

Ella looked at Bonnie blankly, "Of course she is beautiful," so she was reluctant.

"Beautiful things should be admired by everyone. You see, these are all chosen by you, and your mother praises you for your good eyesight. Don't you want them to know that you picked the most beautiful ones?" Bonnie said softly. Said softly.

Everything she said was true.

Scarlett can dress herself. She used to be a fashion editor, and she can tell the quality of patterns and colors at a glance.

Ella is so small, but she can find so many beautiful and temperamental patterns that she and Scarlett didn't notice. This is actually a kind of talent.

All the dolls decorated by Ella are sweet and pleasant, and their shapes are unique. Last time, the children liked the dolls that Ella dressed up very much, but Ella was worried that they would destroy her carefully-cared-for look. Just don't touch anyone, which makes other children seem to be a little alienated from her.

A person with artistic talent always hopes that his works can be approved and recognized by others. After all, people who admire themselves are still a minority.

Bonnie sometimes felt that the gap between her and Ella was the difference between a fashion designer and a fashion magazine editor.Bonnie can see the color matching of styling and clothing, but Ella can integrate all the things that seem to be irrelevant, which is refreshing.

Such talent must never be buried.

Fortunately, Ella is still young. If she works hard to reverse her current obedient personality, her talent may be amazed by the world in the future.

Listening to Bonnie's words, Ella didn't answer. There was never such a concept in her little head.

It's always good that she likes it, so is she willing to let others like what she likes too?

This question seems a bit difficult.

"If everyone likes what you pick, wouldn't it be nice if they would like you too?"

Ella felt that although her sister's words were weird, they seemed to make sense.

She nodded half-understood, and suddenly felt that she was going to send all these out, as if it didn't feel so uncomfortable, and she was even a little excited.

Will they like what they give away?

Soon, it turns out that what Bonnie said is correct.

The barbecue meeting started, and the number of people who came that day was unexpectedly large. Even though Bonnie had been away for such a long time, there was not one person she invited.

This time was the same as last time, Xiao Bo was still by Bonnie's side, but this time there was no need to introduce someone to her.

The gifts for the boys were all prepared by Wade and Xiaobo together.

The lady and the girls gathered together, waiting for the servants to bring them plates of grilled meat that was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and delicious grilled seafood, while sharing the gifts that Scarlett brought back.

"Scarlett, you are very kind." Mrs. Merriwether said, she didn't have much liking for perfume, but she couldn't stand the beauty of the exquisite and unique perfume bottle, and the tassels on it looked elegant and noble, making it difficult Feel disgusted again.

Others also had the same impression, and Melanie helped out a few words, and no one rejected Scarlett, Bonnie, and Ella's intentions.

After the wives accepted it thoroughly, they began to talk about these perfumes. Some opened them and smelled them, some touched the perfume bottles and couldn't put them down, and the new silk handkerchiefs. The handkerchiefs in Atlanta are all plain. nice color.

They are also curious about Paris and Europe. Since the war destroyed their homeland, they have no extra leisure to pay attention to the news from the other side of the Atlantic.

There is no one who doesn't like the gift that Ella chooses, which makes Ella really feel the joy of sharing.

From her resistance at the beginning, she now likes to see others admiring the handkerchief and perfume, and even feels that this can make her feel happy from the bottom of her heart.

Happiness is actually contagious.

And the change is also done unconsciously.

The ladies found that the perfume was not evil, and even praised Scarlett for her decent makeup, which made her look more dignified.

In the days to come, the little girls liked to hang around Bonnie and Ella.

We will talk about the future, but at this moment, Scarlett found another headache.

Early this morning, she, who slept late last night, was woken up by some strange voices. When she got dressed and went downstairs, there were indeed a group of strange people holding rulers and tools in their backyard. I don't know what I'm measuring.

"Mother Hei, what are they doing? Who let them in?" Scarlett asked inexplicably.

"They were all called by Mr. Butler. Miss Scarlett, I don't know exactly what to do, Mama Hei. Didn't Mr. Butler tell you?"

Scarlett frowned and said with a headache, "Where is Rhett? Is he still at home? I'm going to ask him in person."

"Not here, after he let these people come, he went out to work by himself."
