Chapter 386: The Most Beloved Table Tennis Ball
Wang Zhihong is talking about Zhou Heng's new video.
In the video, Edward dragged his family to their local big museum to celebrate the "Foreign Festival" - that is, our Spring Festival.
To date, Edward is still Zhou Heng's largest customer in the United States, and the five-year exclusive agent they signed at that time will of course continue to work together.
In fact, Edward's business is running very well, and the purchase of local chickens has increased significantly every year, which shows that he has managed well in the United States and has fully opened up the market.
This also proves his original vision and courage, and directly negotiated with Zhou Heng about the cooperation plan of the national agent.
Agents have money to make, Zhou Heng can also make money, and China's high-end local chickens have gone abroad in advance and occupied the market, which is obviously a win-win cooperation.
Zhou Heng sent them blessings for Christmas, New Year's Day and New Year's Day, and Edward was also very interested in participating in the "Chinese New Year" organized by the local state government.
Don't look at the fact that many Chinese people are celebrating "Valentine's Day" and "Christmas" in the ocean, in fact, they also have a strong interest in Chinese culture.
It was a "Chinese New Year" party organized by Edward's California government in collaboration with a larger local museum, and was free for any citizen.
We have almost all of the festivals now called "shopping festivals", but they seem to take it very seriously, and the venue is arranged in the museum.
Edward began to understand Chinese culture almost after working with Zhou Heng, and as the cooperation deepened, he became more and more willing to learn more about it.
During this year's Chinese New Year, they did not travel to other places, but took their whole family to participate in this New Year's event.
For this reason, he also specially took a video record.
Judging from the situation at the scene, there were quite a lot of people involved, the audience was all full, Edward didn't mix up the seats, there was only one seat left, and he let his son sit.
Not to mention, this "Chinese New Year" event, they really did it seriously, the show was performed very seriously, they were all blonde, blue-eyed and high-nosed white people, wearing Chinese opera water sleeves and dancing Chinese dance music.
There are also those who perform lion dances, those who perform Chinese kung fu, those who break bricks with their palms, those who break bricks with their heads, etc., although they are not so perfect, but it can be seen that they are really taking it seriously.
In addition to these, there are several Chinese in the United States next to them, writing calligraphy for free on the spot, and many people who know little about Chinese, or who don't know anything about it, have come to join in and ask for a calligraphy written on the spot to take home.
After the party, there are some Chinese buffets to choose from, dumplings, rice cakes and the like, which are very lively and atmospheric.
After Edward took the video, he happily uploaded it to the Internet, but Zhou Heng saw it and unceremoniously asked to reprint it.
When Zhou Heng saw it for the first time, he was very surprised, and then he had some national pride, and he always saw the Chinese people celebrating the Chinese Festival, and this time he saw the Chinese people celebrating the Chinese Festival.
It can be seen that the times are really different.
Chinese New Year culture is also a kind of Chinese culture, and now it has been spread to the other side of the ocean. It's a really special feeling.
It can be said that the self-confidence of our national culture is being made up for little by little.
Zhou Heng was particularly impressed by the fact that there was a foreigner singing Jay Chou's song, "Blue and White Porcelain", all the foreigners who sang and danced were foreigners, singing and dancing averagely, but the foreigner audience couldn't understand it anyway, and they were quite engaged in listening.
These cultures are slowly being exported and being looked at by more people.
The time difference between the United States and China was 12 hours later, and Edward finished filming the video, edited it a little and uploaded it, and it was the second year of junior high school.
Here Zhou Heng found out after a night, and then with medium subtitles, a little post, and re-uploaded to his video website, it was already the third year of junior high school.
However, that doesn't stop fans from having fun.
Like Zhou Heng's mood, they were also surprised to see that foreign devils attached so much importance to our Spring Festival, and they were happy and proud.
Some people pick on the thorns, saying that it is very informal, that the lion dance has no momentum at all, there is no plum blossom pile, there is no soul at all, and the bricks are broken with the palm, and at first glance it is a prop brick, etc., and watching the performance of Chinese kung fu is like dancing, which is particularly ugly, and so on.
There are also people who refute and disagree - let's celebrate Christmas, is it very formal? Isn't it just a shopping festival, and merchants are also taking the opportunity to do a promotion.
Besides, the Chinese New Year that they did like this is obviously carefully rehearsed, and it is not so commercial, even the address is held in a place like a museum.
From these details, it can be seen that they are serious about this, and as for the shortcomings they said, they don't need to be so serious.
And foreigners have not been exposed to Chinese culture since childhood, it would be good to be able to practice to this point, and many people who are typing on the keyboard may not be able to reach their level.
The two sides have their own opinions, and the quarrel is very lively, and it is obvious that this kind of thing can really arouse the national feelings of some people.
Wang Zhihong also saw this issue from Zhou Heng's video, and suddenly mentioned it with great feeling, feeling that it was worth having a drink to celebrate.
Eating and drinking, this meal was eaten for a long time.
In the afternoon, Zhou Heng proposed to take the little pomegranate back, but the little girl hadn't played enough with her sister and didn't want to go back.
Wang Siqi also kept her and didn't let her go.
Well, let's stay overnight. Play for another day, and then I'm ready to go to my grandparents' for ten days and half a month.
When she went to bed at night, Little Pomegranate had to sleep with her sister, and the two little sisters pulled it, and they were reluctant to let go.
The little pomegranate wears a rabbit hairpin on his head, stinks and is beautiful in front of the mirror, squeezes his eyebrows from time to time, and comes to show off to his father: "How many rabbits are there...... Lou Lou is a rabbit ......"
The little guy who can't speak is the funniest thing to say.
Zhou Heng squatted down and said, "Borrow it from your father to wear it, okay?"
"Good. Little Pomegranate said generously.
Then he plucked it from his head and pestled it on his father's head. It's a pity that the little hands don't have much accuracy, and the pestle can't be reached after a few strokes.
Zhou Heng said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Dad, thank you, the baby will wear it himself." ”
Then, gently put it on for her again.
The little one happily ran to his sister and joined her.
Jiang Xiaoxuan looked at the time, it's not early, it's time to sleep. If it continues to be lively like this, she can stay excited and play until late, then tomorrow's biological clock will be broken, and she can't develop bad habits.
"Baby, let's go, can we go to bed?" she said softly.
"Don't. The little pomegranate ran away with a grin, not letting the old lady catch her.
She ran to a very narrow place to hide, thinking that the old lady couldn't catch her, and then she found that there was a ball hidden there, so she took it out and played with it.
It was a table tennis ball, the little pomegranate threw the ball to the ground, and then the ball bounced high, this time won her heart, and played happily, laughing very well, the old lady urged her to sleep before, to forget all about it.
It's terrible, she has to sleep with a table tennis ball when she sleeps, I feel like this is a great toy, and it's my sister's.
Table tennis may have been played by Wang Rui at home before, and I don't know when it fell there, plus the place is narrow and can't be cleaned, so it's always been there, and the little pomegranate is still like a treasure.
Jiang Xiaoxuan didn't take it seriously, after all, the child is forgetful, and if she is a treasure today, she may forget it all tomorrow, so if she loves to play, she can play with it.
Later, she had to let the little pomegranate lie on Wang Siqi's bed, and the two little sisters had to hug each other when they played, and they didn't want to be separated, so let her fall asleep first, and then take it away.
To go to bed, you have to take off your clothes first, after Jiang Xiaoxuan took off the down jacket outside for the little pomegranate, and then she was about to take off the sweater, the little pomegranate grabbed it tightly and shouted not to take it off - this is her sister's sweater, she is wearing it happily, and she doesn't want to take it off at all!
Jiang Xiaoxuan and Zhou Ying smiled at each other, both speechless.
Zhou Ying has a lot of Wang Siqi's childhood clothes here, many of which are small after only one or two wears, and some are small when they are bought, and they are not willing to throw them away.
Originally, she was going to wear them for her younger brothers and sisters, but considering that her brother is not short of money now, and she is also worried that her brother and daughter-in-law will dislike them, she is embarrassed to say these old clothes.
As a result, now, people are reluctant to take it off.
Jiang Xiaoxuan actually didn't dislike it, she said with a smile: "Then when we go back tomorrow, let's get a few of my sister's clothes for Little Pomegranate, okay?"
Wang Siqi readily agreed: "Auntie, I had a lot of clothes when I was a child. ”
The little pomegranate pinched the pattern on the sweater with her hand and smiled so happily.
There were so many people playing with her, she didn't want to sleep at all.
In the end, Wang Siqi listened to Zhou Ying's words, took out a small picture book from the past, and told his sister a bedtime story - it can be regarded as saving Jiang Xiaoxuan's trouble.
By the time the two little ones finally fell asleep, it was already two hours later than before.
The next morning, the little pomegranate woke up next to the old lady, but she had long forgotten where she slept last night, but the miraculous thing was that she still remembered the table tennis ball she picked up last night, and she wanted to play as soon as she got out of bed.
In the end, when I went back, in addition to bringing a few clothes from Wang Siqi's childhood, I also brought back table tennis, which was very fruitful.
Next, Zhou Heng's family went to the child's grandparents' house as planned, planning to play for the last week.
My grandparents waited for the little pomegranate at home, and the little guy's mouth was very sweet, so my grandfather was happy and invited the family to go abroad to play and eat seafood in New Zealand.
New Zealand is the southern hemisphere, the climate is the opposite of the northern hemisphere, the Chinese New Year, their side is summer, the climate is suitable, just to play.
Moreover, New Zealand is an island country, which can be said to be isolated from the world, with its own independent ecosystem, and many animals that were transferred to the island from other continents hundreds of millions of years ago have survived there and evolved differently from other places.
Therefore, they are now more strict about entering the country, and they don't want any alien species to invade and affect their ecology.
It's a beautiful place, with four seasons by the sea, the best seafood market, and the right season, so as long as you can afford it, you can taste any fine seafood delicacies.
It's summer, the climate is pleasant, it's perfect for a holiday, and it's comfortable to spend a few more days here.
The little pomegranate saw the sea for the first time, and she was stunned by the endless sea, the soft sand, and the flocks of ocean birds.
She is still quite adaptable, although she travels from the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere, and even the climate is reversed all of a sudden, she has nothing to do.
She also brought her favorite table tennis ball, and she doesn't forget to play with this toy here.
