Chapter 24 (2/2)

”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.
