Chapter 68: Christmas
When Lan Jiawei and his wife, who never seemed to have children, warmly teased their children, or played musical instruments, and lived happily with their parents and family. The racecourse's waltz has also returned from Europe, reclaiming several major races and earning a lot of prize money. Once again, the town of Turner celebrated. But this time, it was Chiyo Tachibana, the owner of the horse, who came forward to entertain, and her photo with the two horses became the cover of the new issue of Time Magazine.
Tachibana Taro and his wife finally entrusted the restaurant to an agent, and for the first time, they visited their grandson at their son-in-law's farm and spent Christmas together. Mr. and Mrs. Zongsheng also accompanied their two children, who were already in school.
The current elven farm has become extremely beautiful due to the influence of the tree of life and the care of the elemental elves, and although in winter, the crops are not completely decaying, but are strong to release a patch of emerald green in the cold snow.
Two days before Tachibana Tachibana's family arrived, there was a heavy snowfall, and the white of the farm after the snow could not hide the green that represented life, like the hope that erupted under the endless white blanket.
Due to the large number of people, Lan Jiawei drove a Ford business car to pick up his father-in-law's family, and the main road on the farm and the snow around the manor had already been quietly cleaned by Chiyo with magic, and everyone was sent to the door of the villa, before Lan Jiawei turned around and parked the car in the garage again.
After reading his grandson, Taro and his wife and Zongsheng's family boasted that they were good-looking, and their faces had the marks of their parents, but they were more like Lan Jiawei, and Yoko was even more reluctant to let go of Xiaowen. But the family was speechless at Lan's mother's insistence on wearing open crotch pants for the child.
Zong Sheng's dragon and phoenix fetal children began to look for Qiuqiu and Xiaojin after sitting for a long time, and Lan Jiawei told them that because they had to take care of Xiaowen at night, the two little raccoons had to sleep during the day. Sokatsu knew about the ball, but they didn't know about the roll, when Chiyo explained. Taro's family even called "demon", thinking it was too incredible.
Xiao Jin took his spouse to hide in the attic to avoid the cold, and he wouldn't come to the manor if he had nothing to do.
Chiyo made a cup of tea from the farm for his parents and family, and the tea leaves were quickly picked by Mu Ling, and Lan Jiawei fried them by himself, and because of the effect of the spring water of the moon, it can be regarded as the top tea.
Tachibana Taro took a sip: "Well, it's really good tea, Jiawei, Chiyo, I don't want anything else there in the future, this tea has to be sent over every year"
After watching everyone laugh, Lan Jiawei said: "Father-in-law, there are some more, you can take them away when the time comes", Tachibana Taro said happily: "Okay"
The house was as warm as spring, and after visiting the house and having lunch, Lan Dad, Taro, and Sokatsu sat together and chatted in the large living room, while Chiyo sat next to the two mothers as translators, taking care of his son Xiaowen, and Aiying was listening.
Lan Jiawei took Zong Sheng's two children out to cut down small pine trees to make Christmas trees, and specially prepared biscuits for the two children, and there were often squirrels coming out to beg for food at the edge of the woods. Sure enough, when Lan Jiawei was about to cut down a small tree, he heard the sound of "giggling", and a squirrel was graciously taking the biscuits from the children's hands.
Julie, the twin girl, asked Lan Jiawei childishly, "Uncle Jiawei, why don't we give more squirrels?" You're gone", he spread out his little hands.
Lan Jiawei smiled and touched the cute head of the little Lori: "Julie, no matter how much you give, it will be taken back and collected, and this is not the remuneration it gets through work." Hmmm..., give less, and you'll see it again next time, won't you? ”
The little boy Benson nodded his head and agreed with Uncle Javy's words that maybe he would see the squirrel again next time.
After cutting down the tree, he returned to the house with two children in bright winter clothes, decorated the Christmas tree, and decorated the manor with two little tails. I'm just waiting for Christmas Eve tomorrow night.
For dinner, Mama Lan took out her mastery and made a standard Huaiyang cuisine dinner, because there were various condiments brought back from San Francisco and Los Angeles, it was full of color, flavor and flavor, and the Tachibana Taro family who ate it was full of praise. Even Taro asked Mama Lan for advice on how to make a few dishes, and was ready to add them to the recipes of his restaurant, which made Mama Lan feel embarrassed for a while.
On Christmas Eve, Lan Jiawei and Chiyo took their two children to build a big snowman outside their house, with carrots for their noses, two black stones for their eyes, straw hats and brooms. At night, after Qiuqiu and Curly slept on their feet, they finally appeared, and naturally it was funny again, making a steady Tachibana Taro can't help but laugh.
After a happy and warm Christmas, Lan Jiawei and his wife followed their father-in-law's house back to San Francisco, and the young couple planned to take their son with them, but Lan Dad and Lan Mom said that they would not say anything, and they must leave their grandson at home to take care of themselves.
After returning to San Francisco, the Zongsheng family drove back to Los Angeles in their own car. Lan Jiawei hadn't gone shopping with his wife for a long time, and took the initiative to ask to go out with her, and as for work, he didn't plan to deal with it in a hurry. The machines have been delivered to the factory one after another, just waiting for the last batch of spare parts from Germany to arrive.
The winter in San Francisco is much warmer, both of them have good physique, only wear a thin jacket and drive a Porsche around, in the past, Lan Jiawei basically played most of the San Francisco attractions under his wife's guide, such as: Fisherman's Wharf, Alamira and so on. But this is the first time the two have walked the streets of San Francisco hand in hand since they got married, and it feels very special.
Lan Jiawei and Chiyo both enjoy the feeling of going anywhere with their lovers, and the security in San Francisco is very good, although there are many gangs, but not as arrogant as New York or Miami.
When she wanted to walk into a fork in the road, Chiyo grabbed her husband and told him to turn back. Lan Jiawei was stunned: "Honey, can't you go in here?" Chiyo looked at her husband with a smile: "You're not gay, go in and find trouble?" ”。
Then he came to his senses and walked the other way with his wife, "Damn, I don't know what these people think, they spend Christmas with the Bible in their hands, but they go to do this thing, don't they know that homosexuality is the original sin in the Bible?" Not afraid of blasphemy? ”
Chiyo also smiled helplessly: "The United States is like this, in the name of freedom, it has brought strength, but it has also covered up too many evils, and it is not something we can control"
On CaliforniaStreet, where many movies have been made, the two found a passer-by and helped take a lot of group photos, in fact, if Lan Jiawei is willing, there will be various images in front of him that Ash has come out virtually and can only be seen by himself, and photography is also one of the basic functions.
Chiyo liked the feeling of following her husband around like this, and the next day she didn't even drive, and continued to wander around leisurely with the excellent physique of the two, and only when she crossed the bridge across the sea did she take out the Bugatti in the ring and drive back and forth, heading to Auckland to continue pressing the road.
When passing by Lake Merritt Park in the afternoon, I saw a music feature on San Francisco TV, with many well-known singers performing live, and the two of them bought ice cream and Coke with great interest, and stood a little away to enjoy it.
But even though they were all wearing sunglasses, they were still found by sharp-eyed reporters to be the owners of two famous horses, musk and waltz. So a large number of reporters diverted their attention and began to besiege Lan Jiawei and the two singers, leaving behind the sad singers.
After pulling his wife to escape from the encirclement and running a long distance, the two laughed together, and the ice cream was thrown away after eating half of it, and the soda was not drunk, and it was thrown into the trash in order to escape.
Back in San Francisco, the two continued to hold hands and go shopping, and unconsciously walked to Chinatown, Lan Jiawei remembered the ginseng harvested from the greenhouse a few days ago, "Honey, there are too many ginseng in my laboratory, I'll go find a medicinal herb store and sell some", Chiyo grabbed her husband with both hands like a little girl, and smiled like a flower: "Okay, make some extra money."
Under the cover of Chiyo, Lan Jiawei used a cloth bag to hold more than 10 ginseng in the ring. The two of them found it in Chinatown, walked some way, and finally saw a Chinese medicine store with a plaque of "China Time-honored Brand" and walked in.
The boss opened the cloth bag that Lan Jiawei took out, and was almost stunned, "I said, Mr. Lan, you have too much, almost all of them can be regarded as ginseng for more than a thousand years."
Lan Jiawei didn't hide it: "Boss Hu, you should have heard of Mir Fruit, I am the owner of the farm." The ginseng is all cultivated by me with my own technology, without any chemical residue, and the effect is even more than the thousand-year-old ginseng you said."
Boss Hu knew that this fruit is very popular in the United States, especially on the West Coast: "Oh, it turns out that Mr. Lan is a biological scientist, so it's no wonder, but this ......"
Lan Jiawei raised a palm and stopped Boss Hu from saying: "That's it, Boss Hu, I'm also doing it in my spare time, you can give 20,000 US dollars, I'll leave a phone number for you, I still have some there, you can contact me again if you need it."
Boss Hu was secretly happy in his heart, such a good quality ginseng would cost more than $300,000 a piece, of course he was willing.
Ginseng is indeed a product of Lan Jiawei's hand, and he is very satisfied with earning hundreds of thousands of dollars, and Chiyo is even happier, although the money is not much, but it is also the annual income of a senior white-collar worker.
