Chapter 82 Self-confidence
At noon, Evan sat on a bench in the small garden, and the sun shone on his body with warm sunshine.
Next to him was a short-haired man in a bronze-colored black suit.
The two of them held a piece of sandwich in their hands, eating and chatting.
Needless to say, the man was one of Colin's comrades.
Accepting Colin's suggestion, there were three comrades who came to join Evan, the one in front of him was Bob Wheeler.
Bob is from Lodi, California. Lodi is located in the Central Valley, California, and is famous for growing grapes. It is a traditional agricultural city. Bob's family has a vineyard, but after taking off his military uniform, he didn't want to go back to the fields to be a farmer, so he came to Los Angeles and became a member of the newly formed SHIELD. He is currently responsible for Evan's personal safety work.
Bob has been with Evan for more than a week, and Evan also has some understanding of his temperament.
"Bob, why don't you go to college with your retirement money?" Evan asked.
According to the Veterans' Rights Act launched by Roosevelt during the period, Bob not only received a considerable amount of retirement funds, but also had many preferential policies to go to college. Because of this bill, American universities are now full of World War II retired soldiers. This is especially true for California Technologies, a well-affiliated relationship with the US military. This group of soldiers who have studied in college have a large number and later became pillars of all walks of life and the main force in driving the economy. It is called the "greatest generation."
Bob's answer made Evan speechless.
"I'm so stupid... I can't learn... I don't know what to learn."
Bob paused three times in one sentence.
"Don't you feel too bored to be with me?"
"meeting!"
"Why don't you find something for yourself? Even if you don't go to school, you can still read the books yourself!"
"I'm dizzy!"
Evan took a look at the All Select Comic magazine that was placed on the chair by Bob (note: this is a comic magazine produced by Marvel's predecessor Timely Comic), and silently put the last sandwich into his mouth.
...
Time flies, and it is another year of election month.
At the last moment of November, fiercely competitive candidates took all kinds of means, speeches canvassing votes, and campaign advertisements were flying all over the sky.
Of course, this is something that only promising candidates or those whose purpose is not to run for election will do.
For example, the 70-year-old man William Naike who stepped onto the campaign stage to save the "Holy City" and was determined to become a living sign.
For Charles Lyon, whose votes were only single digits, this year's election has ended. What is facing him now is not the question of whether his political career can continue, but the question of where to live next.
Is it a luxury villa in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, or a luxurious single room in the prison.
Charles needs to deal with it calmly and look forward to a good result.
Of course, he knew very well that the result was not much to do with him.
...
On Sunday, November 3, Evan and Virginia, who had just finished their midterm exams, rushed back to Sacramento.
The voting day is November 5th two days later. As children, they must not be absent.
This time Audrey didn't go back together - she was going to attend the interview.
Mr. Abbott's "High Heel Button Shoes" has finally entered the preparation stage, and it has been two months since he sent an invitation to Audrey.
Back at the residence, Evan gave Bob and Ray Haynes two days off.
Bob drove along the way.
And Haines is the strong man sent by Evan to Virginia to be in charge of safety.
He did the job of transporting shells in the army, and his arms were thicker than ordinary people's thighs.
There is such a "vicious" existence standing behind Virginia, and it is no wonder that no fly dares to approach her anymore.
On the fourth, Evan went to Magic7. He stayed there for only an hour before leaving.
Magic7 is still booming and there is nothing to say.
However, when leaving, Jean Leon got into Evan's car.
On the car, Leon told Evan: "The workers' opinions were unified. The governor's vote was Mr. Warren's, the lieutenant governor's vote was Mr. Knight's, and the city of North Sacramento is..."
Evan asked: "How did you do it, it won't cause disgust among workers, right?"
Leon promised: "No, in fact, this is the choice of most people who are willing to vote. I just mobilized those who are low in voting."
Evan patted his shoulder and said surely: "Okay, thank you for your hard work!"
"This is what I should do!" Leon replied with his head down.
Is it an election? The votes are the key, and it is a little more.
Evan could not do much, except Leon's side, he also ordered Carl to do some small work.
Although judging from the current situation, Evan's actions are just icing on the cake and Earl will probably be criticized if he finds out, he doesn't care at all.
Earl's seat was empty on the dining table that night.
Warren didn't return from the campaign office until nine o'clock.
In the past, a few young people were driven back to their room to sleep by Nina at this time, but today is an exception.
The family played flying chess made by Evan in the living room, waiting for the return of the head of the family.
Hearing the movement, Dora jumped up from the ground first, and Doroth followed.
"Dad!" Dora took the coat from Earl's hand.
"Daddy!" Dorothy took the hat.
Earl walked into the living room, touched Nina, who was coming, intimately, and pecked her.
Virginia helped the twins hang their coats and hats onto the hanger.
Robert stood beside Evan with reserve.
As Evan turned Earl's eyes to him, he asked with a smile: "Earl, what's the situation? Do I need to prepare a house in advance or clean the old Oakland house?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Virginia knocked his head.
Evan looked back at Virginia with a grim look and said, "Virginia, obviously, I'm joking!"
Virginia replied calmly: "Obviously, I know!"
Robert and Dora next to them both laughed out loud.
Earl sat on the sofa, held Dorothy in his arms, looked at Evan and smiled, "Thank you for your kindness."
"However, let's wait four years before talking about the new house. Anyway, it won't be used for the time being."
"Of course, if you treat it as a gift for the twenty-first anniversary, Nina and I wouldn't refuse."
Earl, who has always been serious, rarely made a joke in front of the children.
The next day, the vote began.
That night, Earl Warren defeated James Roosevelt with more than 90% of the votes, Robert Kenny and other candidates, and was re-elected as governor without any suspense.
Meanwhile, Goodwin Knight was elected as deputy governor.
In Congress, the Republican Party successfully turned around, adding 55 new seats to win the majority control of the House of Representatives, while adding 11 new seats to win the majority in the Senate.
Chapter completed!
