Chapter 17 17 [Birthday Party]
"Well, Rajesh, introduce me to this Penny. How old is she, where is she from, what does she do, when did you get together, and when did you think about getting married?" Mrs. Kusapari asked repeatedly. .
"MAMA, Penny is the same age as me, both 26 years old. She is an actress from Omaha. We have just been together for a short time, and we haven't considered getting married yet." Xiang Nan explained.
"Omaha?! Where is that? She is not Indian? Rajesh, you must know that you are going to marry an Indian." Mrs. Kusapari said anxiously when she heard that.
"I'm sorry, MAMA, I want to make my own decisions about feelings." Xiang Nan refused firmly.
Mrs. Kusapari was suddenly a little unhappy.
"Rajesh, you must be cautious about getting married." Dr. Kusapari answered the phone and persuaded him earnestly, "Just try the local snacks in the United States, and don't treat them as a meal."
"OK, PAPA, it's forty in the morning, I'm really going to rest." Xiang Nan quickly hung up the phone, "Always remember, I love you all, goodbye!"
"Haney, what do your parents mean?" Back on the bed, Penny stared at him and asked.
It's really disrespectful to compare her to a snack.
"Don't worry about them. Their thinking is relatively backward, and they always want to interfere in their children's marriage, but I won't listen to them." Xiang Nan comforted.
"Okay." Penny nodded, but still reluctantly said, "But the next time you talk to them, you have to tell them for me that it is their blessing that I marry you."
"Okay, don't think too much, go to sleep." Xiang Nan nodded and said.
…
Woke up in the morning, and after breakfast, Xiang Nan began to prepare for the evening party.
In addition to alcohol, drinks, snacks, fruits, etc., he also bought some game props.
Parties in the United States are not always as passionate and unrestrained as described in movies and TV dramas. The most common parties are just drinking, chatting, listening to music, and dancing.
In the afternoon, Xiang Nan started to arrange the party, hanging up colorful flags, tying balloons, and serving food. After the arrangement is complete, the atmosphere of the party has been rendered.
The party is scheduled to be held at six o'clock in the evening, and Leonard, Sheldon, and Howard have arrived at six five.
"Welcome." Xiang Nan opened the door and smiled.
"Happy birthday, Raj!" Leonard smiled, and presented a big gift bag with both hands, "This is a gift from me."
"Happy birthday, buddy, this gift is from me." Howard also smiled and handed over a gift.
Only Sheldon stood there, making no expression.
"Sheldon, we agreed when we came." Leonard saw this and quickly reminded.
"Oh, I hate exchanging gifts the most. The whole gift-giving mechanism is meaningless." Shelton frowned and said, "For example, if I want to give you a gift worth fifty dollars, you will give me five dollars in return in the future." Ten dollar gifts. Repeatedly, until one of us dies and an old man with fifty dollars is left.
Besides, when I give you a gift, I have to try my best to guess what you want, and you already know the answer. This creates a lot of wasted brainpower.
In the end, the gift I gave may not be what you need, and the gift you gave may not be what I need, which also caused a lot of waste of money. "
Xiang Nan nodded after hearing this, "Thank you Sheldon, your high-level remarks have inspired me a lot. I think you can write a paper on this, and it will definitely change the social mode of the world."
"You are right, I should do this." Shelton's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he said eagerly.
"Sheldon, Raj is joking." Leonard sighed, "Take out the gift you prepared."
"Okay, but let me state in advance that Leonard forced me to buy this gift. If you don't like it, don't look for me, go find Leonard." Shelton handed the gift from behind.
"It doesn't matter what the gift is, the heart is the most important." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "In short, thank you, everyone, please come in!"
…
"Wow, the layout is not bad." After entering, Howard grabbed a handful of pretzels and looked at them while eating.
"Thank you, I arranged this myself." Xiang Nan smiled.
"What about Penny, she has an appointment with a friend, won't she miss the appointment?" Howard worried.
"Penny has to go to work today, so I won't bring my friends here until later. Don't worry, I won't forget what I promised you." Xiang Nan explained, and then frowned, "However, you two just wear like this clothes?"
Although Howard wore a suit, he still wore leggings, a turtleneck sweater, a Beatles hairstyle, and a hot belt buckle.
Leonard was wearing an old-fashioned corduroy suit, and he looked like an unearthed cultural relic, at least a hundred years old.
"What's wrong? This is my best dress." Leonard wondered.
"I've changed it too. I'm wearing a suit." Howard also explained, "I can't change too much at once, it will give my mother a heart attack. But thinking about it, I should change a little more .”
"Okay, it's too late to change it now." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "If tonight goes well, you can invite your girlfriends to accompany you to buy clothes tomorrow.
If things don’t go well tonight, I’ll ask Panny to take you shopping for clothes tomorrow. It's really unacceptable for you to dress like this. "
Hearing what he said, Leonard and Howard nodded.
If they both fail tonight, it's time for a change of look.
…
After nearly half an hour, other guests arrived one after another, most of whom were university colleagues,
Everyone gathered together, talking and chatting, and it was quite lively.
When Penny arrived with a dozen of her female friends, the atmosphere at the party reached its peak.
"Raj, help us." After seeing these beauties arriving, they were quickly divided up by other guests. Leonard and Howard hurriedly found Xiang Nandao.
Both of them are not good at picking up girls. They can only watch other people pick up girls, but they can't do anything.
Xiang Nan nodded, and quickly found Penny, "Penny, which two are you going to introduce to Leonard and Howard?"
"Leonard, let me introduce you. This is Gripka." Penny introduced a tall, long-legged black-haired beauty to Leonard.
This made Leonard almost have an asthma attack. He quickly took out the aerosol and sprayed it a few times. And this move surprised Gripka.
"Howard, let me introduce you. This is my friend Carol." Penny introduced another beautiful woman with curly blonde hair to Howard.
"Honorable Madam, it's great to see you." When Howard saw it, he immediately stepped forward and bowed, speaking in French.
This move made Kyroll frown.
"Howie, I warned you not to do this." Seeing this, Xiang Nan couldn't help feeling a little headache.
