Chapter 473: Under the Ballet Competition
Located in southern Montana, Billings is the largest city in Montana with a population of over 100,000. Lehan arrived at Billings at noon, taking a little longer than expected.
When I came to the hotel, it was close to half past eleven when I put my luggage, and the little ones who were excited to play all the way were tired at this time. Li Han arranged the room, called Lena and Madame Augustus separately to tell them that they had arrived, returned to the room, smiled and rubbed a few little ones. "I'm tired, take a rest for a while, and Dad will help you order." ”
"Hmm. ”
Dudu hugged Li Han and rubbed it, and he was really tired from riding in the car all the way. Zhang Xiuying packed her luggage and said when she saw Li Hangang coming in and going out again. "Why don't you stop the meeting, drive for five or six hours. ”
"Mom, it's okay, it's not early, I'll go talk to the restaurant. ”
Li Han had just noticed that there was a Chinese restaurant next to the hotel, which may be why Jennifer chose the room here. The hotel is not big, just an ordinary hotel, but there is a Chinese restaurant on the side. "Wait a little while, Madame Augustus will come and invite someone to dinner. ”
Zhang Xiuying said that her granddaughter and granddaughter have been bothered to teach others for many days, and they haven't eaten a single meal, which is a little unreasonable. "I just called, Madame Augustus is dining, I've already said okay, please, evening. ”
"It's okay, noon seems too rushed. Zhang Xiuying nodded. "This is also, Mom, you will rest, I'll go down and order, okay, come up and call you. ”
Li Han got out of the hotel and came to the Chinese restaurant on the side, there are too many Chinese restaurants in Montana, but there is no one in Mixing Town so far, even in the small town of Buton. "Boss, where are you?" Li Han chatted with the boss for a while and asked with a smile.
"Blessing Province, young man, are you traveling to Billings, it's not a good time of year. "Did you meet the country? The boss was also happy to say a few more words.
"My hometown is Shaanxi Province, and I have been in the United States for several years. Li Han took the menu and ordered a few things, and said to the boss with a smile. "Taste focus. ”
"Don't worry, I brought this craft from my hometown, and the young man got a green card?" asked the chef on the side with a smile, it turned out that the chef and the boss, plus a few waiters, were all family. "Just got it last year. "Okay, young man, it's not easy to get a green card in the past few years. "Except for the owner of this shop, who has a green card, no one else has applied yet.
No wonder I was surprised to see Li Hanxiao young with this green card. Li Han smiled, this is also luck, and thanks to Tom and Ronald Sr., Marbury helped.
Li Han chatted with the boss for a while, and there were a few half-sized children on the side, who were the boss's sons, who were now studying in a public high school, and now they had just come back from a round of play during the holidays, and it was too cold in winter. For the children who grew up in the south, some of them were not very adaptable. "Shaanxi Province loves noodles, and I will try our seafood noodles for a while, and the taste is not bad. Unfortunately, this is not Los Angeles, where the seafood is not only cheap, but also relatively fresh. ”
Li Han nodded. "The owner had been in Los Angeles before. "I'll stay for a few years, and I'll tell you nothing. Our generation has come to the United States with a bad number of roads, but it is good to work harder. finally has an identity, his son and wife have taken over, although life in Montana is not as good as Los Angeles, but the situation here is better than Los Angeles. ”
This is also the fact that the population here is relatively small, the competition is small, and the cost of living is relatively much less. "I've been chatting for so long, and I haven't asked your surname yet. "Hehe, you are too polite, don't give your surname Li, Muzi Li. ”
"Hey, we're still a family. The boss clapped his hands and said happily. Li Han didn't expect that the boss was also surnamed Li, a family, and the two of them spoke more casually now.
It is not easy to meet a compatriot who speaks Chinese abroad, especially in a place like Montana, let alone a compatriot with a surname. This chat was half an hour, and the dish ordered by Li Han was almost ready. Li Han returned to the hotel and called everyone down to eat, and Dudu and the baby saw the shop with Chinese characters.
The two little ones are quite curious, pig's trotters, duck necks and other things, Dudu has not eaten yet. The boss also has braised meat, and Li Hanrang cut two large pig's trotters, plus duck necks and phoenix feet.
Seafood noodles, three dishes and one soup, plus a few braised pork, Li Han shouted to the boss to eat and drink some wine. "Okay, wait until I'm done cutting the beef. ”
I sent a plate of braised platter, donkey meat, venison, beef. "Nothing good, good donkey meat. The boss cut the vegetables, clapped his hands, smiled and moved a chair to sit over.
Zhang Xiuying chatted with the boss for a while, taking care of a few children, and had no time to speak, Li Han and Boss Li, the two of them drank wine, ate braised meat, and chatted.
Both of them are in a good mood, and it is good to be able to drink abroad, talk about things in their hometowns, and talk about life in the United States from time to time. At the checkout, Boss Li was stunned that he had undercounted the wine money, and he was embarrassed to make trouble with Li Han. "I'll have time tomorrow, I'll ask you. "Okay, let's make sure, we'll have a good drink tomorrow." ”
Very good, Li Han said on the way back to the hotel, his mother. "He's a good guy. "Back at the hotel, Li Han packed his luggage, ballet costumes, etc.
Li Han received a call from Lena on the road, and Jennifer and Lena arrived. "You guys take a break, the game is at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, let's go back and get familiar with the venue. ”
The hotel is not far from the competition venue, Mrs. Augustus is waiting for the door, but unfortunately only the contestants can enter, and Li Han can only wait outside for Dudu and the baby.
At half past two, Li Han and his mother, Maria, Tiffany, Howell and Jennifer, and Lena accompanied Dudu and the baby into the arena. The doodle race is around five o'clock, and the baby is about half past four, and there is still time. "What's the matter, it's okay, Pandora don't be nervous. Jennifer took Dudu's little hand, Dudu wrinkled her little face, and touched her stomach.
"Mom, I want to poop. Doodle blinked, big eyes. "Hehe, okay, mom will take you over. Jennifer and Li Han said goodbye and took Dudu to the bathroom.
"The baby is going to the bathroom, it's going to be a game in a while?"
Li Han touched the baby's little head, compared to Dudu who didn't know what nervousness was, the baby was different, and the little guy's small body was straight. "Hmm. ”
"Mom, I'll take the baby to the bathroom first. ”
There was still a long time to go in the game, Li Han stood outside the bathroom, waited for a while, and the poop came out, but the baby hadn't come out yet. "Dudu is going to help Dad take a look at the baby sister, okay?"
"Hmm. ”
He ran in and came out with the baby in a while. "Sister Baby's fine, Dudu is not afraid. Dudu comforted the nervous baby. "Hmm. ”
Fortunately, toot. Mom, Li Han comforted and soothed, the little black bear and Qiuqiu played funny, and the baby was finally soothed, no longer like just now.
The children's competition is relatively much more relaxed, the baby goes on stage, Dudu and Maria stand on the side to encourage, and even Dudu accompanies the baby to the stage.
Montana has this own ballet company in Bozeman, relatively speaking. Billings' ballet is weaker. However, after all, it is the largest city, and this kind of children's competition is more about external things. Most of the professional competitions will be in Bozeman, and it may be favored to join the Montana Ballet directly.
"Come on, baby sister. ”
The two villains, Dudu and Maria, were not too far away. "Baby Lee can get started. "Hmm. "The talent show competition does not occupy many points, only one point is relatively ten points for ballet performances, which seems very little, but talent shows can increase the judges' favor, which is a small score and a big use.
The baby saxophone is pretty good. However, it is relatively not outstanding, but with the ball on the field, the whole game stage is lively.
Especially as the baby dances a simple ballet, Qiuqiu wears a small ballet suit. followed the ballet and amused the audience. Many people see a big mouse dancing for the first time, especially when they are in the middle of the dance, and the ball is completely dizzy. The baby is puffing up and chasing the ball, as if performing a ballet.
The applause rang out, and the baby's talent ended. At the beginning of the official competition, the baby jumped quite well and there were no mistakes, but compared to the previous child, it was a little worse.
The baby came down, and Dudu and Maria pulled them off the stage. "The baby jumped well, it was awesome. Li Han praised, the baby nodded, and the little girl was very happy.
The score was better than expected, and Madame Augustus felt that the judges were a little favoritic, not to mention the full score of talent, and the ballet score was at least 0.5 points more. The baby got a total score of 8.5 points, which is considered to be the top class, and he ranked third among the six children who had just finished.
Dudu brought Xiao Hei Hei and Qiuqiu together on the field, and the performance was even more amusing, and then the violin performance was very outstanding. Li Han and Jennifer kept applauding, still a little proud in their hearts, and the Dudu performance was atmospheric.
The ballet performance is perfect, the talent is full of points, the ballet performance got a good score of nine points, the twelve children ranked second, there is no way to have an eight-year-old girl, she dances too well, and the ballet score gives the highest score of 9.7 points in the audience. Even Madame Augustus gave ten points, complete little ballet genius.
Even Li Han saw that two judges even gave full marks, not only that, but the Montana Ballet Company even sent out invitations. Dudu has not studied for a long time, and Madame Augustus expected that Dudu would be able to get a very good result in the top ten at this age, but who would have thought that he would be ranked second at this time.
Even the little prodigy who had just danced was very surprised, and after the dance, he dragged the little black bear and Qiuqiu off the stage, and the little black bear looked like a funny audience.
"Sister Pandora is amazing. ”
Maria looked at Dudu with envy.
The baby is too, and the sister of Dudu is dancing well.
Jennifer hugged Dudu and kissed her. "Pandora jumped awesomely. "But it's not as good as the young lady. The score came out quickly, and the little girl pouted because she didn't get the first place. "Dudu is still young, when we grow up, we must be better than the little sister just now. ”
"Hmm. ”
Then the game was less visible, until another eight-year-old girl appeared. "It was perfect. Madame Augustus's eyes lit up, and she stared at the little girl on the stage.
But the talent show was a little worse, otherwise it would definitely surpass the eight-year-old prodigy, Dudu won the third place, and the baby won the best talent award.
The two little ones won the award, the Li Han family was very happy, took pictures, and Jennifer booked a restaurant to invite Mrs. Augustus to dinner. (To be continued......)
