Chapter 150 Texas’ unique way of giving gifts

"Stella, this is a gift for you."

After chatting for a while, Hannah took out a gun case from the suitcase and placed it on the table.

The two young children of the Walker family perfectly inherited the beauty inherited from their mother and the height from their father, especially the eldest daughter Stella, who is tall and graceful, and her long legs are no less impressive than Hannah, who is also a Texas girl. Judging from her lively demeanor, she seems to be more like her father.

The little girl let out a scream of surprise and took a look at the box. Inside was a Beretta BU9Nano semi-automatic pocket pistol. The blue shell was equipped with a laser gun handle patch, which was very in line with the aesthetics of a little girl of her age. .

Jack had prepared a pink pistol for Kara before, but before he could give it away, Hannah thought that this pistol was very suitable for a little girl, so she also bought one as a gift.

"Auggie, your gift is too big. It won't be delivered until tomorrow. It's a guitar signed by BRAD PAISLEY."

Hannah turned to look at Auggie, her tone apologetic.

As the younger brother, Auggie is a head taller than Stella, but he looks more bookish than his sister, and feels more like their mother.

He covered his mouth, unable to hide his expression of surprise. Finally, the little boy shyly hugged Hannah to express his gratitude.

"Little Hannah, you will spoil them both rotten."

Aunt Molly brought a tea tray and placed it in front of the two of them. Inside was a teapot and two cups of poured lavender tea, which was steaming and exuding the unique and fragrant floral fragrance of lavender.

"Try this, it's the first lavender blooming in our garden this year, a little will be great for a good night's sleep."

Giving guns to girls and musical instruments to boys, could this be a Texas-specific way of giving gifts?

Jack complained silently in his heart, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Unexpectedly, he found that the taste was quite good. In addition to the floral aroma, some honey was added to it. It was not very sweet, but the aroma of honey and the floral aroma of lavender were perfectly combined. .

"Excellent. This is the best scented tea I have ever tasted."

Jack gave a heartfelt compliment, which made the old lady smile from ear to ear.

"We have prepared enough materials and we will repair the Stephens' house together tomorrow. Do you want to come with us?"

Walker's father, Bonham, looked half-smiling.

"Hey, old guy, don't embarrass the young people, you should learn to respect the guests."

Although Aunt Molly said this, there was a hint of cunning in her eyes. The whole family turned their attention to Jack, as if they wanted to see his reaction, giving people the feeling that her parents were testing their first-time son-in-law.

"I happen to be a pretty good carpenter, so I should be able to help."

Jack nodded readily and agreed. He was still very confident in his current skills.

"Ah ha, it's settled then." Walker clapped his hands and rubbed them together, as if he couldn't wait.

"Can I help too? Bonham has taught me a lot recently." Auggie raised his hand and looked at his mother Emily.

Emily looked at her son, smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Hannah: "Let the men do their work. Let's go to the city together tomorrow afternoon. I want to purchase some supplies and go shopping together."

Hannah looked very happy, and then thought of something, and asked: "Walker said that you have been too busy recently to take care of him. Is it related to the supplies you want to purchase?"

Emily glared at her husband and explained: "We built a station in the desert, on the route that the immigrants passed. Every week we would add some water and food to the station. You know, over the years, people from Mexico The number of people sneaking in has been growing.”

"The day after tomorrow is the day to replenish supplies, and I won't be able to accompany you then."

Jack never judged those good people who really took action. At least Emily's rescue actions were much more practical than those 'Madonnas' who distributed 'special packets'.

Therefore, he just deliberately pretended not to understand and asked: "Aren't those routes dangerous? There should be some people using those routes to carry out illegal activities."

"So we only set up supply points on the route approved by Mountie Walker." Emily smiled and looked at her husband again.

"That's to ensure your safety." Walker looked serious.

"Okay, you're a little too worried."

Emily pulled his tie, forcing him to lower his head and kissed him mouth to mouth.

Walker seemed to still have some unfinished ideas and wanted to continue, but was hit on the head by his mother, and the family started laughing.

Although I don’t know if this is what happened in the original plot, Jack decided to trick Hannah into going with him. He had to find a way to mess up the aftermath of the incident in order to save Emily’s life.

"Then why don't we follow along the day after tomorrow? I haven't been camping in the desert yet. For this road trip, I specially prepared a tent and sleeping bag, which are just right for use."

After hearing Jack's proposal, Hannah, who was eager to spend more time with Emily, immediately voted in favor. As a result, because the two children also wanted to join in the fun, Walker had to join in, which ultimately led to an impromptu family camping trip.

"Cordell and Emily have been together for so many years, and their relationship is still so good."

Late at night, sleeping in the guest room that the Walker family helped clean up, Hannah nestled in Jack's arms and let out a sigh of envy.

Jack hesitated for a moment and then echoed with some trepidation, "The relationship between the old Walkers and his wife is also very good. It reminds me of the Hunters."

Hannah snorted lightly and did not continue the topic. Instead, after lingering for a while, she asked him to tell the story of his encounter with the ogres in detail.

"In the end, I cooperated tacitly with the SEAL team and killed all the ogres and all the bad guys in the Eugene family. Finally, I found the gold in the trunks of two off-road vehicles."

"That pure natural gold nugget is very beautiful. You can keep it as a decoration."

Jack racked his brains to tell the whole story in a way that minimized the important points. He spoke loudly about what should be said and omitted everything that shouldn't be said.

"So, your performance in several battles was very heroic. Even that group of seals didn't kill as many ogres as you did."

Hannah's eyes rolled wildly, as if she was asking unintentionally.

"Of course, if you don't count the ones they killed with the mini Vulcan cannon on the Black Hawk, I was the MVP of the game. When I encountered the Ogre for the first time, I emptied three magazines."

Jack didn't realize at all that the girl was playing tricks on him, and he boasted carelessly.

"Then tell me, how did you solve the sequelae of your adrenaline burst? And those seals?"

Hannah saw this and sneered and grabbed Jack's hand.

"Ah, this." Jack was dumbfounded. "If I say that I wasn't that nervous at that time, would you believe it?"

"No, honey, you can't use your teeth there."
