Because of Nini, the charity sale brought by the 'Dream Ranch' was sold out in just two hours, and this is when the charity sale at the Municipal Square entered its peak.
A relaxed 'Dream Ranch' doesn't need to act in a large force this time, but plays its own way, and you can drive back to the ranch later.
Xue Lihua and Xiao Jinyang are going to look for some handicraft stalls and buy some to decorate the 'Maple Leaf Castle', after all, the oil paintings in the original castle are not very satisfactory. According to Aunt Maria, this large-scale charity sale will definitely have many Montana handicrafts for sale, including wood carvings, Indian-style decorations, etc., which is quite interesting.
As for Aunt Mary, they are the backbone of the church, and they are ready to go to the church to help when they are free today, and the church has also set up a charity sale and donation point in the municipal square.
Xiao Feng carried Yu'er on his shoulder, held Nini with his left hand, and the family of four walked through the crowd without deliberately buying anything, comfortable and relaxed.
Usually in the ranch, I also see cowboys and staff, it is rare to encounter such a lively scene, Yu'er's two eyes feel that it is not enough, and she turns around.
An ice cream truck was lined up with American children, and the two dolls naturally followed the line, Xu Mengyao and Xiao Feng looked at the pair of children holding hands, looked at each other, and the warm love began to spread.
Neither of them is that kind of workaholic, and for them, the warmth of the family is more important!
The children used their pocket money to invite their parents to eat ice cream, although Xu Mengyao was worried about getting fat, she did not refuse the child's intentions, and started eating with a cone.
In this way, Xiao Feng's family of four, who were eating ice cream and shopping leisurely, brought a hint of a relaxed atmosphere to the busy charity sale scene, and everyone's pace couldn't help but slow down.
Come to the church's receiving point. Nini took out the small bamboo basket that collected the money today, poured all the money on the table, and asked the volunteers to count and receive it.
In a more traditional and conservative area like Montana, the power of the church is actually quite large, regardless of the past, at least the church's actions to help the disadvantaged. It has always been unsparing.
As far as Xiao Feng knows, there were cowboys who worked at the 'Dream Ranch' who relied on the church's food and free apartments in the most difficult times to survive.
Xiao Feng has watched "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" starring Will Smith before, which includes the scene where he takes his children to wait in line for a free bed, which impresses Xiao Feng.
Of course, in modern Chinese history, missionaries and churches have played a less glorious role, but these things are undoubtedly too far away for modern people. Besides. Now Xiao Feng's focus is still on poverty alleviation, and he doesn't think too deeply about many things.
According to statistics, the proceeds from the 'Dream Ranch' charity sale this time were nearly $1,000, and Xiao Feng wrote another check, scraping together $2,000 and handing it over to the volunteers at the scene.
After coming to the United States for more than half a year, Xiao Feng gradually became familiar with the laws of philanthropy in the United States, and it is not that the more money you donate, the better. This kind of thing depends on the occasion.
Churches and local charities like this don't require a lot of money. A few hundred dollars, one or two thousand dollars is fine.
If it is a charity auction organized by a large charitable foundation, it is more of a gathering of the super-rich, political and business celebrities, and entertainment stars.
According to the volunteers at the scene, the proceeds from the charity sale will be used to buy winter clothes, fuel and food for unemployed residents and low-income groups in the Helena area. In addition, the church will provide free accommodation for the homeless in the winter.
Compared to the warm California region, Montana's winters are undoubtedly deadly, and without adequate preparation, some tragedies occur in Montana every year.
When I was in China, some media and public knowledge who were ignorant or who opened their eyes and told nonsense always liked to blow the welfare of European and American countries to the sky. But that's not the case.
The legendary high-welfare society is only implemented in some rich countries with developed economies and sparse populations in Northern and Western Europe, and social security does not cover everyone like the United States. In the United States, at least more than 20% of low-income people, vulnerable people and black households do not have access to unemployment insurance, benefits, etc., provided by the American government and state governments, and they are the dark side behind the glamour of the American superpower.
Because these groups are not able to bring more benefits to the consortium, the media and the government have not paid much attention to this aspect, at most during the general election, people from all walks of life will shout some slogans for votes. But after the election, as usual, no one will run for these people at the bottom of society!
Therefore, the advocacy of 'the moon is rounder in foreign countries' by some public intellectuals in China is not in line with the facts, and even the position of these 'public knowledge' itself is very problematic.
Xiao Feng admits that many places in the United States have their advantages compared with China, but this is not absolute, and there are two sides to everything.
The United States is a paradise for the rich, the whole society and even the legal system are for the rich, if you want to live a nourishing life in the United States, it is important to have a huge wealth or a superior technical level!
For the poor without skills, America is never the best place to live!
Leaving from the fundraising point, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao bought some Indian wood carvings, stone carvings and the like, and it was quite interesting to put them in the room or living room.
Of course, if you go back to China, these are not the best gifts!
Montana here is a developed animal husbandry, a variety of leather goods industry is also booming, leather shoes, leather wallets, leather bags, etc. are quite good, last time Xiao Feng swept a lot of home, to classmates, relatives and friends, but won everyone's praise.
This time, 'Brilliant Travel Agency' and 'Mirror Lake Company' plan to develop a ranch tourism project in Montana have also begun to contact some handmade leather goods manufacturers to provide genuine products for Chinese tourists in the future.
If you are in a township market in China, you will definitely encounter villagers who sell all kinds of game, but the protection of wild animals here in the United States is relatively in place, and Xiao Feng has no way to enjoy this kind of surprise.
took his wife and children around the municipal square, and Xiao Feng didn't find anything that could make his eyes shine, so he could only return to the parking lot.
At this time, my parents have already gained a lot, and they are coming back with a smile on their faces!
Without waiting for Aunt Maria and Uncle Anderson, Xiao Feng's family drove two F150s out of Helena Municipal Square and returned to the ranch.
When passing by the Wal-Mart Plaza in the suburbs, Xiao Feng went to the gun shop to buy a batch of bullets, and he and his father played with guns at the shooting range a lot of times, and the consumption of bullets was not small.
As for Mom and Meng Yao, they began to sweep the goods in the Huaxia section of the supermarket, and the shopping carts were full of various seasonings and Huaxia ingredients, and Xiao Feng and Xiao Jinyang soon became porters.
…………
Just when Xiao Feng's family was shopping at Walmart, a video of Nini's wonderful watch at the charity sale had begun to circulate wildly on the Internet.
For Americans, a five-year-old girl can skillfully calculate numbers within a hundred and methodically make change, which is simply magical.
In addition, Nini is slim and elegant, like a little princess in a fairy tale world, which immediately attracted a large number of fans.
In the crowd filmed, there happened to be an international student from Huaxia, she recognized Xiao Feng at the scene, not only explained the identities of Xiao Feng and Nini in the remarks of the video, but also put this video on the largest video website in Huaxia 'Qiwei.com', indicating the video of the richest man and his daughter in the charity sale!
It is precisely because of the gimmick of 'the richest man in China' that it quickly attracted a large number of netizens to click, and the forwarded netizens also expanded like a snowball, and the click rate exceeded one million in a blink of an eye!
Therefore, when Xiao Feng's family left Wal-Mart, Xu Mengyao habitually took out her mobile phone to watch the news, only to find that Nini's video at the charity sale site had become the hottest video on 'UT'.
Many good things media also named Nini 'Genius Princess', thinking that with Nini's qualities, she can be sent to participate in the 'Mensa Test', presumably the results will not be too bad.
In this regard, Xu Mengyao feels that 'listening to the wind is rain' has always been the characteristic of the media, no matter at home or abroad, the world is as black as a crow!
Addition and subtraction within 100 is not too much of a problem for ordinary five-year-old children in China.
After watching it for a while, Xu Mengyao decided to ignore it, anyway, all the videos and photos were mosaiced by the uploader, and they did not violate Nini's privacy.
The power of CPS in the United States is too great, and all netizens subconsciously protect the privacy of minors, and do not expose Nini's appearance positively.
Xu Mengyao didn't expect that the video sent back to China would be very mosaic, and some fans of Xiao Feng and Nini spontaneously joined the ranks of forwarding and publicity after discovering this video, which made the popularity of this video in China continue to rise.
Now is the peak period of Internet access in China at night, more and more people have joined the ranks of forwarding and liking, and the video of 'Little Princess Jinghu' crushing the old American mathematics in the United States has become the hottest topic tonight.
When Xiao Feng's family returned to the ranch, Ruan Lingling even called Xu Mengyao to explain the situation, and then everyone found out that this video actually had a viewing rate of tens of millions, which was comparable to the viewing rate of some popular variety shows.
It can be seen that Xiao Feng and Nini's father and daughter have what kind of appeal they have in the domestic online world and among young people?
In the end, Xiao Feng could only find some photos he took and sent them to the necks of himself and Nini, so that fans could understand the details for the first time.
participated in a charity sale, which actually made her daughter popular on the Internet! (To be continued......
