Chapter 254: Kindergarten Donations
*Wait for another chapter! Okay, the worm is here to give yourself some motivation, so as not to wait and think that it may be a little late, but it will come out before 12 o'clock! Wait a minute, everybody, and I'll ponder the next chapter tomorrow morning.
Early the next morning, the adults brought the little girl to the kindergarten.
According to the practice of previous years, today is Augusta Kindergarten Donation Day, and parents will come over, dozens of dollars and hundreds of dollars, and donate some at will for the construction and maintenance of infrastructure on campus.
This kind of thing, Qin Yi and they naturally can't be absent, it's the same everywhere, donating some small money, not only is they more respected, but their children can also enjoy better treatment.
When they arrived at the kindergarten, many parents had already arrived with their children first, gathered in the class, or chatted or played.
Seeing them coming, Lina said sorry to several parents and greeted them with a smile.
Recently, Lina has been doing very well, working part-time on the farm, making her little waist bag more bulging, and she will be able to buy the new car she likes right away!
It filled her with joy.
The two sides said hello and chatted for a while, and other parents arrived, and Lina went over to say hello.
Although they are familiar with Qin Yi, they can't let other parents have opinions in their hearts, which is not conducive to getting along with the children.
Qin Yi took Susa and Kolo to laugh with the parents who knew each other, Angel ran to play with the children early, and after a while, a group of children gathered around the little girl: Betsy, Jojo, Matthew, and Irene
They are all her best friends, and the parents of these children, such as Becky's mother Jenny, Matthew's father Jones, Jojo's mother Julia, etc., are also gathering around Qin Yi and the three of them, laughing and talking with each other, and the atmosphere is very good.
Everywhere there is a small circle, a common thing.
In the spacious classroom, several desks were set up at this time. There are fruits, nuts and snacks on top, and there are no rules or restrictions, so everyone can take them freely.
Adults only care about talking and laughing, after all, they usually have things to do, and it is difficult to get together, so now they are in touch with their feelings while they are taking advantage of the time.
Children, on the other hand, are the most free, eating their favorite nuts or snacks while playing with toys, playing games, and chattering. Make the whole classroom lively and cheerful.
There were almost 20 children in a small class, and soon they all arrived, and the principal came over to laugh a few words with everyone, and explained the use of last year's donations.
These are kept in a special record so that parents know that their donations will be used for the real thing.
Subsequently, Lina invited some parents to the stage to introduce their experience in educating their children, and the parents in the audience also exchanged their own ideas, and after laughing and talking, they were familiar and unfamiliar. Parents have also drawn into a relationship.
Then we got to the point, and everyone started donating.
There is no comparison in this meaning, everyone is free to choose the amount of donations according to their actual situation.
It's not that the more you donate, the better. Everyone is very rational, if any parent donates more than he can afford, then he is not amazed, but despised and ridiculed!
Even if you are indeed rich. People don't donate a lot, a little more than most parents, which is what it means. It also saves face for parents, and everyone will be satisfied.
Now, most parents donate one or two hundred dollars, a few three or four hundred dollars, and the whole classroom is in harmony.
It's just that when I got to Angel, there was a small episode, because three people came out to donate money, Susa and Kolo both donated $200, and the remaining one was naturally Qin Yi, this guy donated $500!
However, everyone knew that he was a rancher, but he had no opinion, and gave a kind applause.
Although it was a little strange for the three people to come out to donate, the scene was harmonious, and the happiest was of course Angel, the little girl sat on the small bench, her two little legs swaying leisurely, and she was pouting with joy.
At the end of the donation, there was also a children's performance, which was not rehearsed in advance, but Lina guided the children to take the initiative to take the stage.
It is related to the education and living atmosphere that I am usually exposed to, and the children are very enthusiastic to participate, either singing or dancing solo, and some good children will go on stage together.
Basically every kid went up to perform.
The whole process lasted nearly two hours.
When it was almost 11 o'clock, the parents took their children home, and Jones found Qin Yi and expressed his willingness to join the Tourist Farm Alliance.
Qin Yi naturally welcomed this matter, explained some basic rules in general, and then asked him to contact Hobbes.
Hobbes was in charge of all this.
After lunch, Susa and Kolo were busy.
The two took out the two turkeys that had been prepared a long time ago, filled them with potatoes, chestnuts, cabbage, carrots and other fillings, then smeared them with butter, put them in the oven, and began to cook the roast turkey.
That's right, it's time to start preparing for the Christmas Eve dinner!
Roast turkey, as an American dish, is a must-have on important holidays!
However, these two turkeys were not the two stupid turkeys with their heads stuck in the snow that they caught a few days ago, but they were bought by Chloe and Susa at the supermarket together.
As for the two stupid turkeys, they have been sent to the chicken coop by Angel, saying that they will be raised until next year, and they are also named: Big Stupid, Little Stupid!
Naturally, it is a Chinese name, and the reason, in Angel's words: "They are stupid, easy to remember!" ”
For Christmas dinner, a roast turkey is not enough, the turkey is put in the oven, and the two of them start to prepare table decorations, such as yellow circles of fresh orange slices, which means good wishes, as well as roses, walnuts, cinnamon, and brightly colored fruits!
Qin Yi didn't understand this, so he just watched from the side, not to mention, the colors were gorgeous, and it looked pleasing to the eye.
The dining table was set, the family sat on the sofa to watch Christmas movies, play games with the little girl, and played until the evening, when Eagle Eagle II came home, and they began to make the final preparations: the family started to make Christmas pudding together!
This is also a bit allegorical, symbolizing unity and harmony.
Then what corn porridge, fruit platter, snacks and other traditional American food, and then Sousa made some braised beef, venison, pork ribs, and stewed an old hen, and now, the Christmas dinner is ready!
Western cuisine is to respect tradition, Chinese cuisine, naturally, because Angel likes to eat, and the family is also accustomed to daily Chinese food.
Of course, with so many dishes, Qin Yi and they will definitely not be able to eat them, but there are many small animals in the family, and they are all going to celebrate the festival, but they are afraid that they will not be enough, not afraid of too much!
In the evening, Qin Yi first went to the workers' room to have a drink with the cowboys, and as a gift, he gave everyone an extra week's salary, so that everyone was in high spirits.
Back in the main house, Chloe and Susa had already set up the table, so the family sat down happily, and Qin Yi shared the turkey meat with everyone, and a cheerful Christmas dinner began.
The lights flickered inside and outside the house, and at the dining table next to the fireplace, adults, children, and small animals feasted one by one, eating comfortably.
After dinner, Qin Yi took them to the lawn and called Ryan and the cowboys, there is a show tonight - fireworks.
Fireworks are illegal in most parts of the United States, but they are set off in an open place in private, and the general public does not hold officials accountable, especially on major holidays such as Independence Day and Christmas, as long as there is no accident, no one will be held accountable.
In the grass dozens of meters away, Ryan and Burke, father and son, were in charge of the fireworks, and Sousa and Chloe took Susie and Ricky to bring benches, nuts and coffee to the cowboys, making the whole scene lively.
"Chirp"
With a crisp roar, the fireworks that everyone is looking forward to have begun to be set off. (To be continued......)
