Jossen and Yukson made a reservation. Link smiled and said, "I don't know when you'll come to an agreement." But I have to go home for Halloween with my family!"
Today is the 31st of October, and he promised Hannah to go home. He added: "Maybe we can talk again after you have agreed." โ
Although Jossen and Youxon wanted to complete the land deal, they also knew they couldn't be too anxious. Link said he was going home for the holidays, and that's a strong reason. It doesn't matter if they value their family members or not, they can't ask others to pay attention to them either.
In fact, Link still hopes to buy the mountain. According to the listing price, the land price is not high. Of course, after buying the land, you have to invest in it. But this investment is mainly one-time, and he feels that he can afford it.
He's just not happy with Oregon's demands, and if he follows their demands, he's spending an extra sum of money for nothing, and he's making less land available.
When he finally returned to the castle, Hannah ran and pounced on him when he saw him.
He hurriedly crouched down and picked her up. I only heard her cheerfully say loudly: "Daddy, Kaka bought me elf clothes, so beautiful!"
Link knew it was a costume for Halloween tonight, and he smiled and echoed, "Well, Hannah must be dressed like a pretty elf." โ
"Well, Kaka says I'm pretty, I'll wear it for Daddy!" she said, struggling to get off the ground.
Link put her down. As soon as she got off the ground, she walked on her little short legs and said to Ms. Hemmer, "Lisa, can you help me change my elf clothes?
Jessica then came over and gave him a hug and a kiss and said, "It's done?"
He put his arm around her waist and shook his head as he walked to the sofa and said, "They seem to have made an agreement, but I don't like their agreement." โ
Jessica smiled and said, "If you're really not satisfied, you can raise alpacas on your other farms." โ
After they sat down, Link smiled and said, "It's a bit hot in the desert. It may be possible to breed, but breeding may not be suitable. "There is too much rain in Ozette for alpacas.
"So you're still going to buy that land?"
"If they don't go too far, it's okay to buy it!" If he really plans to start an alpaca industry chain in the United States, the provenance problem must be solved. That would require a large area of land to breed alpacas. Otherwise, the total import will be very costly.
He didn't want to talk about business all the time, so he changed the subject and said, "I've worked hard for you these past few days." Hannah seems to like the outfit you have prepared for her. โ
He's not at home these days, and Jessica has to go to work and prepare things for Halloween.
"That's made-to-order!" Jessica said smugly. "She's sure to amaze all the little ones when she wears it. But the jack-o'-lantern hasn't been done yet. โ
"Pumpkins bought?" Link said as soon as he heard this. If not, I'll buy a few later.
Jessica said with a smile: "When Hannah talked to Barbara on the phone two days ago, she said that there were no pumpkins at home, and Barbara specially selected a dozen of them from Hans Farm, and yesterday Hans Farm sent them by plane. โ
Link stroked his forehead and said with a smile: "It's really extravagant, I can buy at least a hundred pumpkins for fuel costs." โ
But Hannah loved it. One was particularly large, and she said it would be made into a pumpkin boat. โ
As they spoke, Hannah staggered up to Link, a pair of little hands holding the hem of her skirt and turning around awkwardly, and then stared at him.
Link saw that she was wearing a green wreath on her head, and the wreath had two pointed ears of unknown material right next to her ears.
She wore a pink dress with green leaf decorations, and the neckline and cuffs were decorated with small green leaves. The skirt is a light yarn of lotus pink, and there are green ribbons, like a lotus flower. There is also a pair of transparent wings on the back.
He took her to his lap and sat down, kissed her on the little cheek, and said, pretending to be surprised, "Where did this little elf come from?
Hannah twisted her waist and giggled and said, "Daddy, I'm an elf princess!"
"Yes, Hannah is Daddy's little princess too!"
"Daddy, can I take a pumpkin carriage to Fox tonight?"
The pumpkin carriage she says isn't about asking Link to make her a pumpkin carriage, it's a birthday present from Jessica on her second birthday.
"Why do you want to take a carriage?
"But I'm the pumpkin princess! I'm the pumpkin princess in the pumpkin carriage!" Hannah said with a serious face. "Daddy, is that okay?"
Link thought for a moment and said, "Okay." Daddy will help Princess Pumpkin drive the carriage tonight!"
"That's great! I love Daddy!" Hannah laughed, leaving a splash of saliva on his face. "Shall I tell you the story of the pumpkin princess?"
As she spoke, she struggled to get down to the ground, found a picture book in her toy pile, and ran back to sit on his lap.
She flipped through the album. The first is three people dressed in pumpkin clothes, two big and one on the left and one on the right leading a small one. In the background is a large house. The characters can't see the facial features.
The little girl's little finger pointed to the adult who smiled into a curved eye and a triangular smile on the painting, and said in a milky voice: "Once upon a time, there was a castle in which the Pumpkin King's family lived. The king's name is Daddy, the queen's name is Kaka, and they have a lovely little princess named Hannah......"
Link saw Jessica covering her mouth and smiling, and knew she was teaching Hannah. And the origin of the story of the pumpkin princess has to start with Hannah's birthday.
Jessica gives a pumpkin cart as a gift. Link dresses up the little one as a little princess, and when she appears in front of her little friend in a pumpkin carriage drawn by two black and white horses, Stephen's dead child calls her Pumpkin Princess.
Hannah stumbled through seven or eight drawings and finished the story, then looked at Link and blinked. Link hurriedly applauded: "Hannah said it so well. This painting is also well painted. Did Hannah paint it herself?"
Children love to hear compliments from adults. Hearing Link say that she tells stories well and draws well, her eyes narrowed into slits, and her little body twisted and giggled in Link's words, "Kaka taught me how to draw! I'm going to tell Stephen a story tonight!"
"Well, he must like to hear it!"
Jessica then said, "If we're going to go out in a carriage, we'll probably have to have dinner early." โ
Link thought for a moment and said, "You're right. "The pumpkin carriage might have been able to carry a few people, but the four little wheels, plus two and a half sized ponies. I'm afraid it won't be fast. "We'll go out after dinner!"
"No, no!" Hannah said, waving her little hand. "Stephen is coming to our house to ask for candy! He'll be trick-or-treating if he doesn't give candy!"
Link was also stunned when he saw Jessica, he nodded Hannah's nose unfunny, and said, "Okay, let's wait for Stephen to finish the mess before leaving!"
Hannah winked and said, "Give him candy and he won't be trick-or-treated!"
Jessica added, "We're going to have to prepare a warming pot and get the milk for Hannah." It's best to bring a small snack. โ
"We'll get ready. Link should be glad that Hannah doesn't need diapers except for sleeping at night, otherwise she would have taken a lot of things with her when she goes out.
Then he started making jack-o'-lanterns. Barbara chose sixteen pumpkins and sent them. One of them was very large, and Link weighed it, and it was about a hundred and fifty pounds, while the others were smaller. There are four more that are less than a foot in diameter, and all about the same size.
Hannah leaned on the edge of the table and said, "The youngest of the four, Grandma said could be hung on the pumpkin cart." โ
Link thought it was, so he got the four little pumpkins first. He had a cute smile on all sides. Jessica, on the other hand, dug out the melon bag inside and fixed the windproof candle that she had bought back to fix it inside.
She saw Link digging up the half-sized ones and asked, "What are you going to do with the biggest one?"
"I want to get the pumpkin pie the most. โ
Hannah wouldn't agree. Right, Hannah!"
Hannah nodded again and again, "No, no, no! Stephen has one, and Hannah wants it too. โ
Link just smiled and responded. To say that to make a pumpkin boat, it is still too small. Insecurity!
After he had dug up all the pumpkins, Hannah looked at a dozen different pumpkin faces and asked Link, "Are we going to hang them in the doorway?"
"Of course, they're going to welcome guests tonight!"
In fact, Link feels that a holiday like Halloween also has a benefit. At least it will make the child less afraid of ghosts. He thinks that maybe it is because American children see those ghosts dressed in horror on Halloween when they are not sensible, so they dare to sleep alone since they were young.
They hung lamps outside the castle, and it was getting dark. After Hannah and Jessica frolicked and took pictures with the lights, the butler came to ask if they had started the meal.
After eating, they prepare to go out. However, before going out, they had to wait for Song Xian and his family to arrive. Because Stephen's kid is coming. Before that, Song Xianhe also called Link in advance. The family's car was needed to enter the Ozette farm.
At about 7:45, the four members of the Song family arrived. When the doorbell rang, Hannah flapped her calves to open the door. However, with her small height, she can only wait for adults to open the door for her.
As soon as the door opened, Stephen's boy jumped in and shouted, "Trouble if you don't give candy!"
Hannah also turned around and jumped and shouted to Link, "Trouble if you don't give candy!"
Link gave the prepared candy to Stephen and her sister! Hannah got a few too.
Song Xianhe hugged his daughter and said to Link: "This stinky boy said that he had an appointment with Hannah, and he must come!"
Link also smiled and said, "I just heard from Hannah this afternoon that she and Stephen made an appointment to take the carriage to Fox. โ
He looked at Stephen's outfit, a druid. The funniest thing is that he also has a small crown on his head.
