Chapter 51 Christmas Eve



The next day, it was still snowing heavily. Many people were reluctant to go out because of the snow on the road, but Cheng Hao still arrived at Old George's house on time.

Old George gets up very late every day and trains with Claude first.

These days, Cheng Hao is very strict with Claude, and his method of teaching Claude has also changed.

It is impossible to explain it to Claude slowly, as he will forget it, but you can teach him directly.

Just as animals can develop the instinct to hunt, Claude can certainly develop the instinct to box.

When he treated Claude as a child, he felt that it was not nice to hit Claude, but Claude could not remain a child forever.

So, Cheng Hao simply taught Claude through actual combat.

If he had done this from the beginning, Claude might not have accepted it. After all, boxing would hurt and it would be painful. Claude was not smart enough to understand other people's verbal ridicule, but he would not not fight back after being beaten.

But now, he has regarded this place as his home, is willing to listen to Cheng Hao, and is afraid of being kicked out...so he plays very well.

Cheng Hao also had an excellent sparring partner.

Cheng Hao is not lacking in experience, but his body is not strong enough. If you want to strengthen your body, there is nothing more motivating than having a muscular and powerful person by your side!

Cheng Hao could have defeated Claude quickly with his experience, but he didn't do that. Instead, he competed with Claude in physical strength. So when Old George woke up and came down from upstairs, Cheng Hao was already exhausted.

He looked like he couldn't even get up, and he lay on the ground, sweating profusely and gasping for breath.

Claude was not in much better condition. He was also exhausted and lay next to Cheng Hao without saying a word.

Old George and Arabella were used to this. Arabella said, "It's time for breakfast!"

Then the two people lying on the ground got up together and walked to the dining table with difficulty to eat.

After dinner, they will be heroes again!

As Cheng Hao ate, his body recovered a little, but the bruises on his arm where he had used to block Claude's fist were still there.

At this time, Cheng Hao looked at Old George and said, "Old George, I have something to ask of you."

"What's the matter?" asked Old George. Old George liked Cheng Hao more and more every day.

On the one hand, it is because Cheng Hao is very strong, and on the other hand, it is because Cheng Hao values ​​feelings.

He liked the fact that Cheng Hao valued feelings. In fact, he chose to keep Cheng Hao because Cheng Hao refused to give up his two younger brothers.

He had been betrayed by a boxer he had coached before, and he didn't want to encounter such a thing again.

"George, Tony wants to go to college, so there will be no one to take care of Danny. I want to bring him to live here." Cheng Hao said.

In fact, Old George had invited him before, inviting him to live with Lin Yuxun and Danny.

Old George had no shortage of money and plenty of rooms at home, so he didn't mind raising two more children.

But Cheng Hao did not agree.

Living in someone else's house is never very convenient, and more importantly, he doesn't want to trouble old George.

But now... I have to make trouble.

Old George agreed and asked some more questions about Lin Yuxun's situation.

Cheng Hao once again... showed off Lin Yuxun.

Cheng Hao really thinks Lin Yuxun is amazing.

He can no longer understand the book that Lin Yuxun is reading!

Cheng Hao doesn't think he is stupid. If he didn't practice boxing and focused on studying, he would definitely be able to get a bachelor's degree in China with a little effort. But he is just an ordinary person, while Lin Yuxun is a genius.

Moreover, he treated Lin Yuxun as his younger brother, which made him particularly want to show off Lin Yuxun to others, just like some parents like to show off their children to others.

"He's really great!" Arabella was very flattering, but old George said nothing.

After dinner, Cheng Hao avoided A Cappella and went to find Old George: "Old George, I think I can go out and play more games..."

"You want to make money?" asked Old George.

Cheng Hao nodded. He really wanted to make money.

Lin Yuxun needs money to study, and besides... he always feels embarrassed to eat and live for free at Old George's place. He hopes he can make money for Old George.

Old George said, "You should be more careful and not always be so kind to others... Even if you are kind to others, they may not necessarily return the favor."

Cheng Hao smiled and said, "He is a good boy."

Cheng Hao felt that Lin Yuxun was truly the best kid around and he had never seen anyone so hardworking.

Moreover, he could feel that Lin Yuxun regarded him as very important.

"Okay." Old George didn't say much.

Cheng Hao always cares about others. He cares not only about Lin Yuxun and Danny, but also about himself, Arabella and Claude.

Just recently, Cheng Hao insisted that he and Arabella go to the hospital for a full-body checkup.

Cheng Hao would also notice that he had trouble sleeping and would help Arabella with housework... Not to mention Claude, the care that Cheng Hao gave Claude was something he could never do no matter what.

He originally took in Cheng Hao just to train him into a powerful boxer, but now, he has treated Cheng Hao as a close junior.

The snow outside was getting heavier. When Cheng Hao left that night, Old George said, "Tell them to move in tomorrow."

"No, Old George." Cheng Hao said, "After Christmas, I'll move in with Danny."

It is always uncomfortable to live in someone else's house, so Cheng Hao decided to wait until Lin Yu left before moving.

Of course, before that, he had to find Mr. Dampier and tell him that they would not rent the house in the future.

That night, Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun went to see Mr. Danpier together.

When Mr. Danpier heard that Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun wanted to cancel the lease, he was a little unhappy. He cursed and asked them to pay an extra week's rent after they moved out.

Cheng Hao agreed.

Mr. Dampier was not a good landlord. He was stingy and irritable, but at least he was not a bad person. When Lin Yuxun and Danny were desperate, he was willing to rent the house to them at a lower price...

Lin Yuxun decided to leave, but his family's life remained the same as before.

They told Danny the next day that Lin Yuxun was leaving.

Danny now has deep feelings for Cheng Hao. After he knew about this, he followed Lin Yuxun around for several days in a row, but did not stop him at all.

In the blink of an eye, twenty days passed and Christmas arrived.

Before Christmas, we celebrate Christmas Eve.

Even in poor communities, there is a strong festive atmosphere on December 24th.

The relief center distributed a large amount of food in the few days before the festival and gave welfare checks to some needy families. Social workers also visited many families and gave them food and heating supplies.

However, all of this stopped on the 24th.

No one went out to work on this day, everyone was waiting for the festival at home.

Even Cheng Hao did not go to Old George's place, but stayed with Lin Yuxun and Danny.

Old George had invited them to celebrate the festival together, but he was very familiar with Old George and the others, while Lin Yuxun and Danny were not familiar with them. If he took Lin Yuxun and Danny to Old George's place, he would definitely ignore Lin Yuxun and the others, and Lin Yuxun and the others would definitely feel uncomfortable.

So, he decided to spend the holiday with Lin Yuxun and Danny.

Before Christmas Eve, there were a large number of turkeys available on the market. Lin Yuxun bought one in advance, coated it with sauce and placed it on the balcony. The weather had been very cold recently, so Lin Yuxun turned off the refrigerator, put the food that needed to be preserved in a box, and then placed the box on the balcony.

The freezing effect is pretty good.

On Christmas Eve, Lin Yuxun took out the turkey, stuffed something into its belly, and then put it in the oven to roast.

Cheng Hao saw him stuffing apples into his mouth and became curious about the taste of baked apples.

In addition to roast turkey, Lin Yuxun also made other foods, including dumplings.

Of course, he doesn’t make pork dumplings now, he makes beef dumplings.

In addition, because Cheng Hao always requires eating a combination of meat and vegetables, vegetables are also indispensable.

These dishes were made by Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun. Their cooking skills were average and the dishes they made looked ordinary, but when the roast turkey was taken out of the oven, they were shocked.

Roast turkey is really delicious!

The whole body of turkey is the same as chicken breast, with a very low fat content and full of protein, so it doesn't taste good. Of course, Cheng Hao wants to gain muscle, and Lin Yuxun and the others have lacked meat to eat before, so they don't dislike it, at most they just don't like it.

But when they smelled the aroma of roasted turkey, they were really a little surprised and began to look forward to turkey for the first time.

However, when they took a bite of the turkey, all their expectations disappeared in an instant...

This turkey...is actually not tasty at all.

It still has that firewood flavor.

But even so, this is still the happiest Christmas Eve that Lin Yuxun has ever had since he could remember.

When he was with his father, his father had never bothered to celebrate holidays, and his mother would never bother with them... Christmas Eve for her mother was a time when she could always get some money and get drunk.

But after Christmas, he will leave.

Lin Yuxun's mood was extremely complicated.

He didn't want to leave, but he wanted a better life and the right to be with Cheng Hao, so he had to leave.

This poor community also organized some activities on Christmas Eve, but neither Cheng Hao nor Lin Yuxun attended.

However, after Cheng Hao had dinner with Lin Yuxun and Danny, he made a special trip to Old George's place to give Christmas Eve gifts to Old George, Arabella and Claude.

He also prepared a copy for Lin Yuxun and Danny, intending to put it in their socks at the head of their beds.
