Chapter 4 Evelyn Johnson

The sudden call made Ethan Jones' eyes shine when he remembered his plan.

He went downstairs decisively, and when he came to the living room on the first floor, he happened to see a girl walking into the room with a handbag.

The girl wears a cloche hat and has thick, orange-red hair flowing down her shoulders.

The upper body is wearing a white sweater with ERA printed on the left sleeve and PEACE printed on the right sleeve. The lower body is wearing a pair of blue slim-fit jeans and a pair of brown and white saddle shoes on the feet.

At first glance, it gives people a feeling of vitality.

Seeing Thomas and Linda approaching, the girl decisively opened her arms and gave them a big hug.

"Dad! Linda! I miss you guys!"

"We miss you too, Evelyn."

Thomas and Linda kissed the girl on the cheek, showing their love unscrupulously.

Linda even said: "Oh, Evelyn, you came back just in time. I have already prepared dinner. I made Dungeness crab and clam soup tonight, by the way! Didn't you say that San Francisco has Is the California roll in a Liben restaurant good? I asked someone to find out. The California roll in their home is not sashimi but processed avocado, so it tastes very crispy. , I also tried to make some today, you go and wash your hands."

"Really?" The girl's eyes lit up, "I really love you to death! Linda!"

"I love you too baby."

Just as the girl was bouncing about to enter the restaurant, Ethan, who was standing behind Thomas and Linda, also entered her field of vision.

When Ethan found out, the girl finally set her eyes on him.

He also showed a happy smile and took the initiative to say hello, "Hi, Evelyn, good evening."

"I'm not good, Ethan."

However, the girl immediately put away her smile and kept a straight face.

That attitude of no one entering was like Ethan owed her millions.

"How did you talk to Ethan?" Thomas was a little unhappy.

"He's your brother," he emphasized.

"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!"

Thomas' words made Evelyn raise her voice and rolled her eyes, "I know! Ethan is my brother! But I don't want to be the sister of this idiot! Okay?"

With that said, she turned around and went straight upstairs.

The sudden movement of turning around made Thomas' face stiff, and Linda also wanted to ease the atmosphere: "Evelyn, it's time to eat."

"I won't eat! Seeing him would make me so angry!" Evelyn said loudly.

At the same time, she stomped her feet vigorously.

The sound of "bang bang bang~" is the whine of the wooden stairs being overwhelmed.

This scene made Thomas very angry, and roared, "Forget it if you don't eat! You won't starve to death with just this meal!"

Then, he turned his attention to Ethan and Linda, "Come on, let's eat."

Ethan raised his head and glanced upstairs.

The disappearing figure in that instant made him raise his eyebrows.

As Thomas said, Evelyn is him, or the older sister of the original owner of the body, but the relationship between the two...

Well, in the memory of the original owner of the body, the relationship between them was actually not so rigid at first.

Evelyn's full name is Evelyn Johnson, born in 1954, is the daughter of Ethan Jones' uncle Thomas Johnson and his late wife.In the same year of Evelyn's birth, her mother died of an illness caused by Serratia marcescens.

The death of his beloved wife made Thomas very sad. Since he had no experience in raising children and was still a man with a male physiology and self-awareness, he asked Linda, who was farming in his orchard at the time, to help take care of the children. Feelings developed, and Linda became Evelyn's stepmother as a matter of course.

Because Evelyn was brought up by Linda, their relationship is very good. In addition, Linda has fertility problems, and Thomas has no children of her own, so she has always regarded Evelyn as her own. , Therefore, the worries of the rich family are completely gone.

In this case, when Ethan Jones was picked up by Linda because of the death of his parents, Evelyn also took great care of this little brother, going to and from school with him, doing homework with him, and letting him His father Thomas enrolled them in the same interest class, and accompanied Ethan to learn karate and horseback riding, and went to the SAT cram school together.

In Evelyn's opinion, if nothing else happens, Ethan Jones will get into a good university with her own help, because she applied for university a year earlier than Ethan, and she got into Stanford near her home.

But who knows, this guy Ethan gave up his studies after finishing high school, listened to some anti-intellectual remarks, and wanted to get into the society with all his brains.

This behavior made Evelyn so angry that she didn't give Ethan any good looks in the next three years.

For Evelyn's approach, Ethan, who has traveled through time, actually agrees very much.

No way, who made him clear that Ethan's sister Evelyn and aunt Linda were right?

Reading may not be the only chance to change your destiny, but it is the easiest choice to change your life. Educational qualifications may not represent a person's ability, but it can let others know that those with academic qualifications have passed the screening of most assessments.

So, after time travelling, Ethan tried to mend his relationship with his sister who was not blinded by the concept of happy education, but unfortunately, this process did not seem to be satisfactory.

Sighing, he followed his uncle and aunt into the dining room.

Because of his anger, Thomas had a long face when eating, like a shoehorn.

As the head of the family, he didn't say a word, and Linda and Ethan couldn't speak, but when the stagnant atmosphere couldn't bear it, Linda finally stood up.

She put the two-pound Dungeness crab, which was still warm, on the dinner plate, then filled a bowl of clam soup, took a California roll, and said, "I'll get her something to eat."

"Let me do it." Ethan suggested.

"You?" Linda was a little surprised.

Even Thomas shot him a puzzled look.

"Yes, I'll go."

Ethan smiled and said frankly: "Actually, we all know why Evelyn was angry with me these years. She thought my idea of ​​giving up college was naive and immature. Although I still feel that, Reading may not be suitable for me, but I also have to admit that when I dealt with this matter back then, I was a little too capricious, and I owe her an apology, so let me come..."

"Oh, Ethan..."

Linda pursed her lips, tears flashed in her eyes.

"hey-hey……"

Thomas smiled, and reached out to pat Ethan's butt lightly.

"Go on, boy, you're like a Texas cowboy now! I hate those idiots though!"

The support of the two made Ethan go upstairs with the food. Looking at the closed door, he stretched out the tray with one hand and knocked on the door with the other.

After a few "dong dong dong", a brief inquiry came from inside.

"Who?"

"I."

"..."

Two seconds later, a voice came out again.

"Go away, I don't want to see you."

Evelyn's calm voice and irritable words are perfectly combined.

After hearing the word get out, Ethan smiled directly, then leaned against the door and said, "Evelyn, I know you've been angry with me all these years, but I came today because I want to be with you." You celebrated."

"I'm free, I was expelled by Mi Luohua."

"Because of Nolan Bushnell."

Ethan's words received no response.

But he was not discouraged, but continued: "You know what? They didn't want to compensate me in the first place. They used the reason that I caused huge losses to the company to intimidate me to leave the company on my own."

"But I persevered, and in turn intimidated them, so that they gave me 2N+1 compensation."

Having said that, Ethan paused again.

Seeing that there was still no response from Nei Li, he smiled again and said, "Do you know what reason I used to scare them today? It was the content of your chat with Thomas before."

"Do you still remember that a month ago, Thomas complained to us at the dinner table, did those chambers of commerce in Liben deliberately lower the purchase price of our navel oranges? You said at the time that Liben was unwilling to accept the status quo after the war and wanted to be free. A test of sovereignty, I used the idea you said to label them as foreign capital wanting to erode our industry, forcing them to take the initiative to compensate me."

"To be honest, reading can really improve your horizons and broaden your mind."

"Your point is right."

Having said that, Ethan stopped.

After waiting for about two or three seconds, a voice came from the room, "The door is unlocked."

That fact made Ethan grin.

When he opened the door, everything inside was also presented in front of him.

It was a square room of nearly two hundred square feet, with windows on the north and south sides.

Below the south window, there is a bed with a poster of Barbara Streisand on the head of the bed and a closet next to it.

Under the corresponding north window, there is a desk and a bookshelf. On the top of the bookshelf, there are many books, and on the top, there are many tape boxes.

At this moment, Evelyn was sitting at the desk, reading a book under the light of the incandescent lamp.

Maybe Evelyn didn't want Ethan to know what she was looking at, or maybe it was because she was so hungry and wanted to eat.

When footsteps sounded behind her, she immediately closed the book in her hand and sent it to the corner of the table.

This action also allowed Ethan to see the cover of the book clearly.

It was a magazine with a yellow background and a blue label.

On the top of the cover, its name is written——

Popular Electronics.

 Note: ①Barbra Streisand: Orthodox Jewish actress, Tony Award, Oscar, Golden Globe Award, Grammy Grand Slam winner. ②Popular Electronics: Popular Electronics, a monthly magazine, published in the United States in the 50s, a generation of divine books in the field of electronic engineering.
