Chapter 20: The Quinn Family Visits

When she first arrived in the United States, she had just made a friend of Mrs. Quinn, and when she got up early in the morning, Li Zhoufangmei talked to Mrs. Quinn on the phone and set up an invitation for dinner.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Yigang and his son went out directly to the company after breakfast, while Li Zhoufangmei took the maid Zhou Qin, hugged her grandchildren, got into the car driven by the driver Ham, and drove to the city.

Half an hour later, the car stopped directly at the door of the "Peng's Acupuncture and Massage Hall" in Chinatown, and the sisters and brothers consciously said goodbye to their grandmother, jumped out of the car, and the two small figures rushed into the door of the "Peng's Acupuncture and Massage Hall".

"Ham, now take us to the biggest Chinese supermarket in the city." The hostess gave an order.

"Yes, ma'am." Ham started the car.

There are many Chinese immigrants in the United States, and a group has been formed, and China's food culture has not only trained every Chinese's iron to beat the Chinese stomach, but also the second generation of Chinese in the United States, who have been fed by their parents since childhood, and it is difficult to get rid of China's delicious food. As a result, in large and medium-sized cities and towns in the United States, Chinese supermarkets have also emerged as special stores.

Only in Chinese supermarkets can you buy leek sprouts, bitter gourd, cheap white radish, all kinds of soy products and all kinds of mushrooms, and by the way, pork that has been bloodless! Lao Mei's main meat eater is beef, and steak with blood juice is the favorite of Americans, so Americans never bleed when they kill pigs. Imagine how angry pork is when it doesn't bleed. It's no wonder that American housewives don't like pork.

On one end, Li Zhou Fangmei took the maids to buy in Chinese supermarkets, and on the other hand, the lord of Pei led his younger brother Xiaozhi, and under the gaze of Old Man Peng, he obediently squatted on the horse.

The homework that Mr. Peng gave to the two little ones was to squat for ten minutes every morning, and then take out the Republic of China version of the children's enlightenment books and primary school textbooks to start teaching.

These textbooks are written by Mr. Ye Shengtao and illustrated by Mr. Feng Zikai, the content of the textbooks is lively and interesting, the style is compatible with the competition, the article selects the mode of each body, and the words, sentences and intonation are close to the children's tone to adapt to the children's learning psychology.

A few books are like villain books, with a few illustrations and short rhyming poems, which are catchy to read, and can be recited a few times.

For example, the nursery rhyme that Ash the bear is learning now: Shake the Shake, Willow Strip, Willow Green, Willow Grow, Cauliflower Yellow All Over the Ground. Yellow cauliflower, everyone loves it, bees also fly, butterflies also fly, they all come for love flowers, fly into the flowers and do not fly away. This is a simple and fragrant sentence, and there is a colorful illustration drawn in the textbook, the illustration is very simple, a few soft and boneless green silks, a simple cauliflower with a few bees and butterflies flying on the ground, and the whole illustration is full of natural freshness and infinite vitality.

And the Republic of China version of the primary school textbook in the hands of the master of Peijun is not as simple as what Xiao Zhi is currently learning, and the teaching is a little more in-depth.

The little girl who had finished squatting was shaking her head and reading the textbook at this time: "I have a body, and I am restrained for no reason." I have property, and I have been robbed of it for no reason. I have a speech and writing, and I am interfered with for no reason. Whereas, residence, business, communication, faith, and everything are restricted, and they are not allowed to do what they want. Then the happiness of the living, how much hope does it have? What's more! The embarrassment of not being free. The laws of the Republic shall not infringe upon the liberty of the individual, nor shall the State, nor shall it respect liberty. ”

The two little ones have good learning ability, strong memory, and comprehension ability is higher than that of ordinary children of the same age, and they can teach everything well. For these two little guys, Old Man Peng loves them very much, and he has long thought of cultivating them into closed disciples.

After having lunch at Mr. Peng's place at noon, Mr. Peng was busy entertaining patients, and the two little ones were honestly sitting and painting red. During this time, the neighbors of Chinatown have come to know the two children one after another.

Soon it was three o'clock in the afternoon, and three horns sounded outside the door of the "Peng's Acupuncture and Massage Hall", and Ham came to pick up the children.

Ash let out a happy "oh-" and jumped up from the small bench to his sister. Lord Pei glanced at his younger brother, pointed to the messy paper and pen on his desk, and said, "Clean up yourself!" Then slowly put away the textbooks on his desk and put them in the small schoolbag, the younger brother Xiaozhi saw that his sister ignored him, so he had to honestly return to his desk, sort out the books, paper and pen, the old man raised his eyes and looked at the two little guys, lay on the rocking chair and took a sip of tea and continued to close his eyes.

Ham pushed the door in, and the little ones had already cleaned up the table, "Master, goodbye!" "Master, we'll come back tomorrow!" Ham took the two children's hands and said goodbye to Mr. Peng.

When they returned home, Li Yigang and Li Chenghua had already arrived home, and they were being instructed by the old lady to set up the tableware. The kitchen was filled with the charming aroma of food, and the maid, Aunt Qin, was walking out with a plate of dishes.

The little ones entered the door, said hello, and staggered upstairs. put the little schoolbag back in the room, went downstairs, and the younger brother pulled his sister to Li Zhoufangmei and asked grandma: "Grandma, I also want to help." ”

"You don't need to make a mess, let's play by yourself." The old lady chased away the children.

It was quickly seven o'clock in the evening, and the food was served.

Mrs. Quinn showed up in front of Lee's house on time in her son Mark Quinn's car, and this time, instead of driving the convertible of his bag, Mark was riding a steady Focus.

Also guests were Mrs. Quinn's daughter's family.

"Hey! Watson, how are you doing lately? Mark greeted him with a smile on his face and handed over a bottle of red wine with a red ribbon tied around it.

Mrs. Quinn got out of the car with a little brown-haired and blue-eyed girl, followed by a white man and a woman in their early thirties.

Mrs. Quinn introduced to the Lee family, "Mr. Lee, Mrs. Lee, this is my daughter and son-in-law, Elizabeth and Frank. Then he beckoned to Peipei, "Hey, cute Chinese elf, this is Lillian, my granddaughter, can you take her to visit your home?" ”

"Hello, my name is Lillian Quinn Duma, what's your name?" The brown-haired and blue-eyed foreign Lori asked politely.

"My name is Pei Pei, and this is my brother Pei Zhi." The three-headed little girl took her younger brother to introduce herself.

“pei-jee? It's a weird name. Why don't you have an English name? ”

"I'm Chinese, why use an English name?" The bear child pouted, a little upset.

"Don't stand at the door, let's all come into the house and talk, the food is ready at home." Li Zhoufangmei interrupted the children's greetings.
