Chapter 664: I'm Not That Old
"Osky, which one do you think is good-looking? Is that one who wears red shoes? You have a good eye for your father, you like big breasts and big butts, it's too vulgar, I still think that the figure with words written on the belly is the best! Let's get closer......" Coming out of the underground parking lot, walking through an intersection, Hong Tao saw the swimsuit parade. The black lad was right, it was a swimsuit parade, but it was not a professional one, but it was spontaneous by the citizens, and the sign they were holding should be a charity event, as if it was a fundraiser for sick children or something.
These Canadians are really good, the snow has just finished in winter, the outdoor temperature is only minus 8 degrees, and there is a small wind, they are all dressed in swimsuits, regardless of men and women, young and old, and they are all red, and they are wearing a certain Santa hat on their heads, and they are still smiling while running, and they can't see the meaning of cold at all. Is it really not cold or pretending not to be cold? Hong Tao didn't know, anyway, he felt that if he only wore a pair of swimming trunks, it was estimated that his lips would turn purple in ten minutes.
There were only one or two hundred people marching, and they soon ran south along Yonge Street, followed by those who followed, and watched the excitement, anyway, this street was not going to pass for an hour, and the decision to walk was still very correct.
"These people just sleep on the street, no one cares?" Su Miaomiao found a more novel place, under the walls of many shopping malls, there would be a person lying or sitting, most of them were men, not too young. Some of them are covered with sleeping bags, some are just a few pieces of clothing, and there will be some paper bags and other miscellaneous items on the side.
"Well, no one cares, but it won't be driven away, there are some air outlets from the heating wells, so it's warmer, if you blow them all away. In this weather, it is estimated that they will all freeze to death overnight. "Hong Tao is no stranger to these homeless people, there are more of these people in the later life, but they are not beggars, they are just looking for a place to sleep and rest, don't use the leftover food you eat to pity them, then you will be scolded, they still have basic self-esteem.
"Then they don't have a home? parents, wives and children, brothers, and sisters will always have them, right? Won't so many of them be singles?" Su Miaomiao is very similar to Hong Tao, she is too curious and likes to get to the bottom of it.
"How can I say it? They also have benefits to receive, but they can't afford to rent or don't want to rent a house, which is also a way of life for them. It's not the same as a beggar. If they are begging here, the police will soon come and take them away. You'll figure it out if you stay a few more months, but if you just look at them, capitalism is really rotten. Hong Tao really couldn't explain the living conditions of these people to Su Miaomiao, because he didn't understand it very well. There are some things that you don't try for yourself. You will never be able to understand it thoroughly. Hong Tao felt that if he had time, he should also try to be a homeless man for a month. See what's so beautiful about this lifestyle.
Before you reach Blau Street, all kinds of shops begin to appear on both sides. So this rhythm is not that Hong Tao is leading the group in front, but that Hong Tao is carrying Oski and Heizi leading Oya and others outside the door, and the four ladies are flowing between the various stores. It's just a kilometer away. After walking for an hour, there were still more than 200 meters left, and the big signboard of the Eaton Center could already be seen in the distance, but Oski had already begun to cry out for hunger.
Since Oski had to eat fried noodles, Hong Tao specially chose a Japanese restaurant that sells noodles, called Teri Yaki. If you come to Yonge Street in Toronto, don't treat the Japanese restaurants here as authentic, they are all Chinese, Koreans, Vietnamese, not a single Japanese open. The taste is enough for the simple Canadians, and for Osco, who is just over three years old, a bowl of ramen is also said by Hong Tao to be fried noodles, and it tastes quite fragrant.
There are two kinds of shopping malls in North America, one is where all the merchants are in the same enclosed building, called a mall, and the other is where all the merchants are gathered in a non-enclosed space, such as a plaza, called a plaza.
The Eaton Centre is a typical mall, and it is the largest mall in Ontario. There are more than 300 shops on the upper and lower floors, including thebay, Canada's largest department store chain. Above the third floor is a world-class hotel called MarriottHotel.
Canadians are very fond of sports, especially ice hockey, and in winter, the central corridor of the mall is transformed into an in-town ice rink, where many families are wearing skates and running laps or playing ice hockey, even if you don't visit the mall, it's fun to watch them play.
Hong Tao only walked half the floor, bought all the clothes and shoes he wanted to buy, and by the way, he also bought a new pair of boots for Xiao Oya and Xiao Oski as Christmas gifts. His shopping mall mode is very simple, every time he passes by a store, he will only stand at the door and take a look at the style and color system inside, and he will stop and scan twice if he meets his appetite.
And he also has a problem, that is, what he likes at first sight, he will like it more, after a simple trial, if the effect is good and fits, then buy two or three sets of exactly the same at once. In this way, you can wear it for several years at once, and you don't have to worry about clothes and shoes every year, and you won't grow your body anymore anyway.
"You can walk around by yourself, I don't have anything to buy, Kuroko will be a porter for you, I'll take the kids to skate, and you'll go to the south of the ice rink to find us when you're done." Carrying a dozen big bags and small bags, Hong Tao began to play tricks, this time he gave up the sunspot, and then used the two children as a shield, and got out of the way.
There are cabinets for storing luggage next to the ice rink, all of which are coin-operated, Hong Tao opened five cabinets in one go, and then stuffed the clothes he bought and the clothes of the two children into it, and then took the two little ones to rent two sets of protective gear and skates, and began to teach them to skate. Little Oya and Little Oski are not afraid of ice at all, Hong Tao doesn't teach them at all, it is completely self-taught, falling, getting up, falling again, getting up again...... If you fall, you will stand, and you can walk after a while, anyway, there is a protective gear, and it doesn't hurt too much if you fall, so he just lies on the railing and streaks at the child so as not to lose it.
Kuroko was still pondering what he said to him in the morning, and if he wanted to open a construction company here, it would not be impossible, but in this way, he and Sergei's construction company would be repeated, and there was no point. Hong Tao chose this profession for Sergei at that time, just to find a place for his subordinates and colleagues, otherwise their smugglers with neither legal identity nor legitimate occupation would be easily discovered by the police.
Now Kuroko and Xiao Wu want to get all the people around them over, and it will be too troublesome to open another construction company, so it is better to let Sergei give up the construction company to Kuroko, and his subordinates will endure it first, and when his nightclub begins to build, it will be over with him to the nightclub.
But think about it this way, the nightclub hasn't been a word yet, whether Sergei will agree to give it up, and whether Heizi is willing to take over or not has to be said, the biggest question is, how should those buddies from Heizi and Xiaowu come over? Smuggling is certain, Hong Tao doesn't have the funds to get them all over with legal procedures, so he can only get here first. But Hong Tao has never played this thing at all, and now there are no domestic tour groups, most of the people who can come here are public parties, like their guys who are more fashionable, I'm afraid they can't get a work visa, it's really troublesome!
"Hey, Oski, don't pull the other children's braids! If you like her, go over and tell her, maybe she'll give you a hug!" Although he was thinking about things all the time, Hong Tao's eyes kept staring at the two children in the ice rink.
Oya was brave and persevering, and she was still tirelessly falling and getting up, but Oski had turned his attention to a little girl about his age. He crawled over, but he didn't dare to talk to anyone, he only dared to reach out and pull the little girl's pigtails. Hong Tao felt that this part of the gene was definitely not passed down by Nina, but 100% from the sunspot.
"The way you educate your child is very special, his name is Oski, is it her mother's name?" At this moment, someone suddenly spoke behind Hong Tao, and a woman who was almost as tall as Hong Tao stood there at some point. Judging by her age, she should be around thirty years old, with a typical white appearance, long chestnut hair, black eyes, not fat but very strong, and a white woolen hat.
"It's his uncle's name...... Hello, I'm Hong!" Someone has to answer when talking to him, no matter what the reason is, especially if the other party is a woman, he has to be polite.
"Hello, Eliza Cuthbert, just call me Elisa, that's my daughter Vanessa. The woman took the initiative to reach out and introduce herself, and by the way, pointed to the little girl who was being pulled by Oski's pigtails.
"Oh, I'm sorry, your daughter is very cute, but Oski is very naughty, but you see, he has corrected it......" Hong Tao then understood why this Elisa took the initiative to talk to him, it turned out that someone's daughter was bullied.
"Hah, are the two of them hugging? Your son is really skillful, it seems that he has charmed Vanessa, hahahaha......" The mother saw her daughter let a stinky boy of about the same age hold her, and she was not angry at all, and she smiled very happily.
"Does he look like me? wouldn't he...... It's my friend's kid, they've gone to the mall, and there's one over there, they're twins. Hong Tao admired this mother's eyes, she could actually see her three- or four-year-old child as her own, could she be so anxious? (。 ))
