889. Full set of activities (5/5)

"Because I remember a girl who sent Christmas cards every year, and she wanted to find parents who loved her and accompanied her, who wanted to take care of her loved ones, and the Garden of Eden where she could live happily. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info," Santa Claus said.

Eva was surprised, and then turned her head to look at Wang Bo and said, "My God, what he said is completely correct, didn't you just ask this girl to help contact Santa Claus, checked the previous Christmas card information on the computer, and found this?" ”

Lao Wang pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache, and it is not a good thing to have a smart daughter-in-law.

Indeed, when Eva was filling out the Christmas card, he went to the volunteer girl and asked if the previous information had been kept.

The girl said that all the greeting card information was entered into the computer system by hand, and it could be traced all the way back to the 80s.

Eva sent out the Christmas card in the nineties, so you can find the message she left on it at that time.

Wang Bo asks the girl to help contact a Santa Claus to fulfill Eva's Christmas wish, in exchange for his willingness to fund part of the village's running funds.

The whole Santa Claus Village, as a famous tourist attraction, is actually full of commercial atmosphere, and there is a charge for any kind of service, reminding people that fairy tales are fairy tales after all.

Wang Bo checked the news and found that even so, Santa Claus Village was facing a financial crisis.

Due to the economic turmoil in Europe and Russia in recent years, the number of tourists visiting the village has decreased significantly, and tourists from these areas are the main group of tourists here, making Santa Claus Village very difficult and even facing bankruptcy for a time.

As a result, Santa Claus Village began to actively look for business partners, hoping to continue Santa's fairy tales, after all, for the city of Rovaniemi, Santa's fairy tales are an important part of income.

He saw this, Santa Claus Village was going to run, and it cost too much money, and if someone was willing to donate, they would be happy to accept it.

Everything was going according to his plan, but he didn't expect that Eva would be able to guess it as soon as they met.

The beautiful teacher was too familiar with him, and from his actions, she immediately realized that her guess was correct.

However, she was still moved, grabbed Wang Bo's wrist and looked at his eyes with affection, and said softly: "The most correct decision I have ever made in my life may be to leave the northern hemisphere for the southern hemisphere, go to New Zealand, and then wait for you." ”

Santa Claus gave Eva a small brocade box and said, "Please don't open it in advance, girl, wait until you are engaged, it is a small gift for you." ”

Eva smiled, "But I guess it's a big surprise inside." ”

Santa Claus smiled and stroked his beard, and little Lori went up and reached out and touched it, then turned around and said, "This beard is real!" ”

Wang: "......"

The conversation is interrupted by Lori, who talks to Santa Claus, who only speaks Finnish and Swedish, and has started learning other languages after working in the village in order to communicate with guests from all over the world.

Now he is not only proficient in English and Russian, but also in simple Chinese, French, Japanese, etc., of course, the tone is not very pure.

The old man is very kind, he is close to 90 years old, he has experienced the Soviet-Finnish war and the Second World War, and he has his own philosophy and wisdom of life to this day.

Wang Bo sat by the fireplace and drank fragrant hot coffee, watching Eva and Santa Claus chatting, during which there were various innocent questions and answers from Little Lori, and felt that this trip was really worthwhile.

After chatting with Santa Claus, they took another group photo, and then the tour of Santa Claus Village ended.

It was already noon, and when they returned to the city, the grand Christmas parade was about to begin, and on the Corniche, the Christmas market was already open.

The Christmas market is an annual Christmas event that has been held for centuries and was originally used as a common market for people to trade goods, similar to the Chinese New Year fair.

In the last half century, with the determination of the place of Santa Claus, it has become a Christmas market with a strong Christmas flavor.

When Wang Bo passed by the market, he saw that there were Christmas bells, Christmas trees, Christmas flowers, stuffed dolls, antlers, ornaments and other things, all of which were equipped with Christmas gift boxes, and they were packaged when they were purchased.

Walking along the Corniche, there are more than 100 kiosks at work, selling a variety of handicrafts, cotton fabrics, knits, candles, ceramics, clothing and canned food for Christmas tables.

Little Lori felt novelty when she saw these things, but she was just curious and didn't want to buy them.

She spent Christmas in the summer, and the gifts she saw were naturally related to the summer, and the New Zealand customs, and now she saw the pure Nordic customs and gifts, so she was naturally curious.

Wang Bo wanted to buy her something, but little Lori waved her hand and said very sensibly: "Dai'er don't want it, teacher, Dai'er is a big child, don't play with toys anymore, let's save money." ”

After wandering around the market for a while, the Christmas parade began, and the trio joined the procession.

During the previous visit, Wang Bo bought colorful paint, Christmas-colored clothes, which he would use, and the three of them smeared paint on their faces, changed into clothes and joined the team, just like the locals.

Little Lori and Eva wore reindeer hairpins and big fluffy antlers on their heads, laughing as they walked, and Lao Wang dressed up as Santa Claus.

His style took advantage, and the city government prepared a lot of small gifts, all of which were handed to Santa Claus, and after meeting, they only needed to say 'Merry Christmas', and then they could give gifts.

Christmas in Rovaniemi is extraordinarily grand, it is a huge event with a lot of activities.

Sleigh races, Christmas drinking parties, puppet theaters, rides, multimedia shows telling Santa's story, and the streets are filled with Santa Claus.

However, the daylight was too short, and Wang Bo felt that the parade was only halfway away, and the sun was about to set.

Fortunately, Christmas night in Rovaniemi is also a sleepless night, with brilliant lights everywhere and fireworks in the square.

Wang Bo wanted to get involved, but eating and drinking was too boring, and after browsing the menu of festival activities online, he found that the luge competition was a good fit for them to participate in.

In the past, this sled race was a reindeer sled race, but it was not easy to tame the reindeer, and there were too few people participating in the race, so it was expanded to a dog sled race.

Wang Bo came with Zhuang Ding and the queen, originally just to pull a sled pumpkin cart for Xiao Lori, but now it's okay, hugging the grass and beating the rabbit, you can have some other gains.

There are strict regulations on dog sledding in Northern Europe, such as the number of dogs, Finland generally starts with five dogs, otherwise it will be too stressful for dogs.

A certain ice city in China followed foreigners to learn this kind of project, but only arranged one or two dogs to pull sleds, all for the purpose of making money, and did not care about the dogs' lives or deaths.
