[British and American Entertainment] Sonnets to Olivia

~~~~~ The hair you lost, the scars of reincarnation, grow flowers. ~~~~~ Because Tom's filming schedule is very tight, the schedule to go to Africa has to be arranged after Christmas.And for Christmas, Olivia was going back to England to see Karen, so Tom also specially adjusted the time and went back to Windsor with her.

Before that, Anderson and Pandora took turns taking care of Karen. After her condition stabilized, she moved into the best nursing home in the town.Naturally, no one took care of the horse farm, but Karen didn't plan to sell it. She just asked the workers to take care of the horses, and it was still open.

The nursing home facilities and services are very good, but Olivia doesn't like it here.Looking at those old people who are sick, unable to take care of themselves, and sitting in wheelchairs with dull eyes, it seems that all she sees is death.

Karen was basking in the sun in the yard, completely disregarding that the current temperature was only about zero degrees.

Olivia walked to her side and pulled the blanket for her.

Since that fall, Karen's body has completely collapsed, and she is now having trouble getting up and walking by herself.

"Oh, my little Ollie, and Tom." Karen opened her eyes, looked at them both, and laughed.

"How are you feeling, Karen?" Olivia sat next to her, and she held her grandma's hand, but she couldn't feel any warmth.She remembered that grandma's hands were soft and warm before, but now they are like a pair of plastic gloves, without warmth and elasticity.

"It's okay, at least here I can find peers who can share the same topics with me." Karen smiled, she stretched out her hand, and pointed to an old man not far away, "That's Albert, than I'm still a year older."

"Let's go home for Christmas." Olivia couldn't bear to leave her grandma alone in the nursing home for Christmas. She wanted to cook a big meal for grandma by herself.

Called and called Anderson back.And my parents couldn't get in touch, so the four of them spent Christmas together.

Olivia sent Anderson to cut trees, while Tom and she were preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Karen sat on the sofa, and she picked out the records, all of which were songs that were very meaningful to her.

Like, remember when she and her husband just met, the song could be heard everywhere in the street.

Then, she gave birth to Pandora, ran the horse farm with her husband, and lived a quiet and happy life.

Then there was oddity, when space competition was the most intense, and everyone wanted to travel in the universe.But Gagarin, who was the first to go into space, stayed there forever.

After the fall of the Berlin Wall, everyone listened to the new version of the wall.

With the advent of the new century, Karen listened to less pop music, and more, she was still looking back on the past.Because her husband did not survive this century, he lay forever in the family cemetery not far from her home.

Tom hummed along to the melody, which he also loved because of his name and David Bowie's talent.

"So, Captain Tom, which team are you supporting now?" Olivia asked casually when she saw that he was singing happily.

"Well... the American team is ready." Tom glanced at Olivia's cooking. Thanks to Jianguo's guidance, her cooking skills are now comparable to half a chef.

It turns out that hard work is also important.

"Anyway, Klinsmann is also a German." Olivia has now become the Mifensi of the German team because of the founding of the country.Anyway, Americans also watch football and basketball, so she doesn't support her country in football.

"The Christmas tree is here!" Anderson's voice came from the door. He carried a pine tree and walked directly into the house.

Tom walked out of the kitchen. He looked at the pine tree that was about as tall as him, and felt that Anderson's strength was almost as strong as that of the mountain gorilla.

"Tom, let's decorate together." Karen stood up slowly, and Tom hurried over to support her.

Anderson didn't know how to cook, so the three picked up various decorations and started hanging them on the tree.

Olivia took the time to take a look into the living room. The fireplace was burning brightly, and the Christmas tree was shining brightly. Tom and Anderson accompanied Karen, looking very warm.

She retracted her head in relief, and started cooking with peace of mind.

Christmas dinner, of course, has a turkey.The cooking method chosen by Olivia is still very traditional, but a lot of effort has been put into the ingredients.The spices are more complex and the taste is more layered.

For side dishes, she made salad, sweet and sour pork ribs, which she was already very good at, and scrambled eggs with tomato.The soup is a thick soup made of chickpeas, potatoes, and beef. It also uses a lot of spices, and the taste is very strong.

For dessert, she made a more traditional rum fruit pudding. Karen likes to eat dessert, and she certainly didn't forget it.

"Oh, my little Ollie, I didn't expect you to cook better than me now." Karen looked at the dishes on the table and couldn't help but praise her granddaughter.

"I still have to ask you about desserts, Karen." Olivia was still very modest in front of her grandma. She turned her head to look at her brother, ready to listen to his opinion.

"It's delicious, Ollie, why don't you open a shop!" Anderson said vaguely while stuffing something into his mouth.

"Okay, don't spray the residue on the table." Olivia pushed the turkey away in disgust, her brother was really going to become a savage.

"Let's have a drink." Tom raised his glass and said to everyone, "to this beautiful and warm night, to this rich and delicious food, and to the two beautiful ladies here, and Anderson."

"Well, cheers to my beautiful sister and elegant grandma!" Anderson wiped his mouth, stood up and said the same.

"For grandma." Olivia doesn't have much wish now, she only hopes that Karen can be healthy.

"For the sake of lovely Ollie, Tom also wants Anderson, cheers." Karen didn't stand up, she was a little tired, so she could only sit and talk.

The wine glasses collided together, and the purple wine swayed gently, which was as intoxicating as the warm fire.

After dinner, everyone went to rest, and Olivia and Tom were still crowded in their own room.I was a little tired today, and the two fell asleep after touching the pillows.

However, Olivia didn't sleep very soundly. She heard some movement in the middle of the night and slowly woke up.

Without waking Tom, she got up alone.

There was a vast expanse of whiteness outside the window, and it was snowing heavily.

She approved a coat and went downstairs.

Karen is sitting under the Christmas tree, not knowing what to do.

"Karen, what are you doing?" Olivia didn't expect Karen to get up in the middle of the night, so she hurried over and supported her.

"A gift for you, my dear." Karen smiled, pointing to a few gifts beside the Christmas tree.

"Oh, Karen, we are not young enough to believe that there is such a thing as Santa Claus." Olivia helped Karen to the sofa, "It's so cold at night, don't get up and do these things It's over."

"Believe in miracles, Ollie." Karen touched Olivia's face kindly, she looked at the ring with a smile, and asked softly, "Have you and Tom made plans yet?"

"We're still young, Karen." Olivia didn't think about getting married at all, she was just finishing her degree.Tom is also on the rise in his career, so it's not a good time to get married.Moreover, such a thing as marriage feels far away from them.

"A 15-year-old girl is qualified to say that she is young." Karen smiled and scratched Olivia's nose. "Okay, my task is done, and I should go to bed."

"Okay." Olivia helped Karen back to the room and covered her with the quilt.

When she left, she looked back, because it was snowing heavily, so it was gray outside.The light from the street lamps reflected on the snow and reflected into the house.The grayish-yellow light enveloped Karen, and she felt like she was floating.

Olivia blinked, but still couldn't see clearly.

At this time she heard the sound of the door opening, it should be Tom came out.She quickly helped Karen close the door and ran up the stairs.

"Olly, where have you been?" Tom rubbed his eyes. He woke up suddenly just now, and then found that Olivia was gone.

"I'm going to see Karen, it's all right, go on to sleep." Olivia walked to the door, she wanted to push the door, but Tom blocked her.

"Wait, Ollie." Tom pointed to the mistletoe hanging on the door, and he laughed. "Give me a kiss."

Only then did Olivia notice that there was a small wreath of mistletoe hanging on each door. No need to guess, this must be Anderson's masterpiece.It's a pity that he seems to do this every year, but he still can't find a girlfriend.

The British believe that mistletoe has a mysterious power. If two people meet under the mistletoe, they must kiss, otherwise bad luck will come.

"If I don't kiss you, will Thor 2's box office drop?" Olivia asked intentionally.

"No." Tom shook his head confidently, "but maybe I'll get fat."

"Haha, that means my cooking skills have improved." Olivia stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips.

Tom picked her up. It was not too early or too late for some exercise.

***

Anderson woke up early, knowing that Karen would definitely prepare a gift for himself.Downstairs, he ran directly under the Christmas tree.Sure enough, he guessed right, there were three gift boxes underneath.

He picked up the box with his name on it and opened it impatiently.

Inside the box was a set of tin soldiers, a toy set from Grandpa's collection that Anderson had always wanted.But Karen wanted to keep some souvenirs for herself, so she was reluctant to give them to him.But this year it was given to him as a Christmas present.

"Olivia!" Anderson shouted excitedly. When he was a child, Olivia had bet him that he would never get this set of toys in his life.

But Olivia ignored him, thinking about it, she has a boyfriend, so she wouldn't wake up so early.

"Karen, thank you!" Anderson yelled again. The old man got up early, so he might already be in the kitchen.

But Karen didn't agree to him either.

Anderson froze for a moment, he couldn't hold the toy box firmly in his hand for a moment, and all the little tin soldiers fell to the ground with a clatter.
