Chapter 503: Halloween Preparations
"I want a monster suit, and I want to play the big monster." Xiaoyao shouted with great interest, he was really looking forward to Halloween; It's also because this kid is slowly sensible now, and he naturally knows that those games are very fun now.
"I want a big bear outfit, or a gorilla outfit so I can go out and play games with King Kong and Pooh. We're good buddies, we're exactly the same. "Lele also has his own ideas now, and it seems to be quite reasonable.
"I want the clothes of a big bear, and my brother wants the clothes of a gorilla. We don't want cartoons, we want them to be exactly the same. Xiaoyao made a decision immediately, and also received strong support from his younger brother.
Qi Ping felt that his brain hurt, and he really couldn't cry or laugh now; But looking at these requests from the fat sons, he can only choose to agree. After all, it's a children's holiday.
Halloween, in fact, this is a bit of a Halloween; Compared with the Chinese's avoidance of the Ghost Festival, Americans seem to like this holiday very much, especially children, who are eagerly looking forward to Halloween at the end of the month before October has even begun.
In origin, Halloween is also a religious holiday, which signifies the end of a vibrant summer and the arrival of a cold winter that represents death. On this day, children dress up as all sorts of weird and scary ghosts and knock on their neighbors' doors to ask for candy.
Americans' happy Halloween also has a positive effect on children's psychological growth, allowing children to treat such a serious topic as death with an optimistic attitude. It's also some funerals in the U.S. that look a little different, though it's still sad. But a lot of the time it seems acceptable.
Halloween. It's a children's holiday. their carnival; For adults, they pay more attention to Thanksgiving, which is a festival for the whole family to reunite, which is really similar to the Spring Festival.
For now, don't worry about Thanksgiving yet, it's actually about preparing for Halloween, which is the children's favorite. In fact, Qi Ping also likes to take the children to play together, watching the children have fun and crazy happiness, so it is also a very happy thing for Qi Ping. He's busy coming and going, isn't it just for these lively and fun-loving little naughty ghosts.
Xiaoyao and Lele, the two stinky boys, some of their preferences seem to be relatively normal; Little boys, it's normal to be curious. Besides, they are mixed with King Kong and Pooh all day long, so naturally they have a special affection for their good buddies.
In fact, it is not excluded that these two boys were too modest in their previous Halloween dresses; It's either a cartoon character or a superhero, and it's not fun at all. Now, they need to change their outfits so that they feel fresher. This is in line with the character of these two stinky boys who like the new and hate the old.
The little ones have the ideas of the little ones, and the little boys have the thoughts of the little boys; So little girls. Naturally, they also have their thoughts. Personality, gender, such differences will also lead to some of their different interests and hobbies, and their choices will naturally lead to differences in dress.
The little sweetheart is too small now, the little girl doesn't know some things yet, and the little girl doesn't actually have much concept of the festival now. This can't be helped, who made her just a very small little girl now. She's only two years old now, and it's unrealistic to expect her to know about the holidays now.
Although Sweetheart is a little smaller now, she has a reliable older sister; Now Yoyo just has too many ideas, and the little girl is actually discussing with her sister now, although according to the current model, it is basically her sister who is helping her make decisions.
Princess Barbie, this is what little girls like; And inside the princess, Rapunzel, Mermaid Princess, Swan Princess, and so on. The little girls are busy now, they are picking out their favorite princesses, and now it seems that Yoyo has more ideas.
"Can my sister be a princess of the forest? My sister loves Romeo and Juliet, and she can be friends with Pooh just like I did. She's supposed to be the princess of the forest, because we can all be friends with the little animals, and we're all able to understand what our friends say. ”
Yoyo thought about it for a long time, this is also because she has too many princesses she likes, and now she needs to pick out the most suitable princess for her sister to dress up. In Yoyo's opinion, her sister is the princess of the forest.
"Yes, of course she can be the princess of the forest. Today you can become the princess of the forest or any other princess, in fact, in Daddy's opinion, you have always been my princess. Qi Ping nodded, these little requests of the baby daughters are really not a problem, "My sister has become a princess of the forest, so what kind of princess does my Yoyo want to be?" ”
Kate is also very happy, because Yoyo will really feel sorry for her sister; The princess of the forest, in fact, is also quite fond of Yoyo.
Yoyo is usually a little wilder, she is not a lady at all, she is a naughty bag; But I have to admit that Yoyo is really a good sister. Compared with her brothers, Little Sweetheart will definitely rely more on her sister, because her sister will always take her to play games, but brothers, always run to play games by themselves.
"I like the flower fairy, I want to protect our family, I want to be Sanbelina, so that I can be more powerful and brave, and I can also be quite powerful." After thinking about it for a long time, the little girl finally made her own decision.
Qi Ping and Kate were smiling and listening to their baby daughter's opinions, and the little girl's little ideas naturally needed support; Qi Ping and Kate also think that Yoyo is really powerful, very sensible, and knows how to protect the environment and protect their homeland. And the little girl is not only full of curiosity, she is also quite brave and responsible.
These choices for the little ones are actually quite good; Qi Ping and Kate are quite happy and satisfied, not only because of the innocence of the children, but also because the little ones have now shown good character, even when they are playing games. It also shows that they value their families and know how to protect the forest farm.
These are really not what Qi Ping and Kate deliberately asked the children to do. Because these truths cannot be said dryly and asked children to do them. More. It is still up to the children to accept it themselves; This is also something that needs to be taught by words and deeds, because they are the best teachers for children.
Take the kids to buy their weird gear, and since it's all about to be dressed up for Halloween, you should have professional gear. Every Halloween is like this, and the streets are full of children dressed up as various mythological and cartoon characters.
Even some adults like this kind of game very much, so these young people with bigger brains can show a strange appearance, that is, a complete group of demons dancing.
"Dad, I still want a bell. Pooh and King Kong: They both have bells. I'm going to bring the bells with me, and I'm going to go to town with them to play games. ”
In the supermarket, the little ones are really starting to have fun; Especially when it comes to shopping for all sorts of weird clothes, it's definitely more fun to see people of all sizes busy wearing some interesting clothes. At this time, the children have also entered the state, and they are now starting to imagine and look forward to it.
"Yes, when the time comes, you can go to grandma, so that you can get the bell you want. But now it's hard for Dad to find the right monster clothes for you, and it's free. You may not know that such doll costumes are still a bit hot and stuffy. "Qi Ping is also starting to have a headache now. The general doll clothes are worn by adults, and they are only worn by some part-time people, so such clothes are definitely uncomfortable.
And now, Qi Ping can't find a cartoon puppet suitable for Xiaoyao and Lele's liking; They don't want the cartoon genre, they want 'realism'. As a result, it is naturally much more difficult, and it is difficult to find fully enclosed doll costumes for children, especially bear and chimpanzee costumes.
"I'm not afraid of the heat at all, I'm not afraid of it at all. Pooh and I said okay, we're going to be exactly the same, we're going to go to town together. I also agreed with King Kong that we would have to take all the candy away when the time came. We all said okay, we all have to go together, this time you and your mother are not allowed to follow, my brother will take us there. ”
Hearing Xiaoyao's words, Qi Ping and Kate were stunned suddenly; They really didn't expect that the children already had some of their own little plans, and this still excluded mom and dad.
I quickly asked, this is the children's plan; Under the leadership of Benben, the eldest child, plus the Qi Ping family, Luo Yi's family, and Steve's kids, this is going to organize a Boy Scout, and they are going to take Pooh and a few people to the town together, this time they plan to run all the families in the town, so that they can carry a lot of chocolate or candy home.
That's not allowed, the kids are still a little too young now; Although Benben is now ten years old, this is only half the size. It is definitely not enough to expect him to take care of so many younger siblings at once, and the youngest sister, Little Sweetheart, has only learned to run for a short time; And the second son of Luo Yi's family is actually not very old.
If a group of children with an average age of about five years old are released to go out and make trouble, it must be quite inappropriate. Benben itself is still at an age where he needs to be taken care of and protected by others, let alone taking care of so many younger brothers and sisters, which is definitely not good.
Although, now King Kong and Pooh are also going to go with them, but such a strong bodyguard can protect everyone on the side of force. But they are not smart enough to be smarter than others, they only execute, but they simply don't have much ability to judge things, so it's certainly not appropriate.
Speaking of which, Halloween in the small town of La Mona now has one more feature this year; Although Halloween is a swarm of demons dancing all over the United States, many places have some characteristics. But this year's Ramona is definitely different.
King Kong and Pooh are now invited to Halloween; The residents of Ramona are aware of the existence of King Kong, although they have only heard of them in the past few years, but gradually they have also seen that they will participate in some group activities, and they are actually quite popular.
In the past, it was just some simple jumping markets to go, and sometimes it would still run out of the forest farm under the leadership of Qi Ping; Then it was fun and interesting to follow the forest farmer on horseback to run to the pasture. Although it is necessary to cross some streets, the residents of La Mona are no strangers, and it is the billionaire Ziping who takes his partner to the ranch to investigate.
So Qi Ping was also very happy after getting the invitation, although it seemed a little dangerous or something, but as long as he paid a little attention. As for Pooh's character, Qi Ping is quite knowledgeable; When the time comes, the family will follow, and it will be about the same; Besides, since it was an invitation from the residents of Ramona, it must also show that they were prepared.
This thing is definitely not about making a name for tourism in the town of La Mona; Although many people now know that La Mona has a wildlife sanctuary with a lot of animals, and they are still relatively rare and intelligent types, this has indeed slowly become a calling card of this small California town.
But that wasn't really a reason for Zippin to take Pooh and them to advertise for a small California town, he just wanted a game like this to make Pooh and the others quite happy. That's all, as for making Ramona get some fame or something, such a thing can only be said to be a gift, and this matter is irrelevant to Qi Ping anyway.
What Qi Ping likes and cares about is his family; As for contributing to society and the community, it is within one's ability that such a capacity should be established on the premise that it does not harm one's interests. Speaking of which, it's just a pitiful few, and Qi Ping doesn't care much about those things at all.
Now that Pooh and the Poohs are able to go to Halloween in the bright light, and can go to the party with the children, such news must be good for them. Although their lives in the forest farm are happy and interesting, Qi Ping thinks that Pooh can get more interesting experiences, and as long as he can do it, he will go all out to do better.
