699. Harmonious atmosphere
Hamilton is a quaint old town, and many of its public buildings are also ancient.
For example, this light rail station is small and inconspicuous, ordinary and simple, with two ticket windows and a circle of waiting seats in the lobby, and the floor is paved with pale yellow bricks, which contrasts sharply with the scarlet color on the edge of the platform.
The edge of the platform is slightly higher than the rest of the station, which is an ingenious design that reminds passengers to be aware of the track in front of them and not to fall down.
There are not many people who take the light rail, there is no crowding and no queue, which is different from the country, Hamilton has few people and almost every household has a car, and the reason for taking the light rail is as Liu Shuyan said, convenient.
The domestic light rail and subway are much more crowded, and there is no way, because these means of transportation are used differently, Canada is for convenience, and China is for relieving traffic pressure.
Seeing Liu Shuyan sitting quietly in the seat, Qin Shiou added a little appreciation, even if some women know that it is more convenient and faster to take a bus or subway, they will not take it, they would rather choose a taxi, in their opinion, taking a bus or the like is a loss of face.
At least Liu Shuyan is not this kind of person, Mao Weilong's vision is still good.
After five quick stops on the light rail, Walmart supermarket station will arrive.
This Wal-Mart supermarket is one of the two largest supermarkets in Hamilton, covering an area of more than 20,000 square meters together with the plaza, the main building is divided into floors, and the supermarket is a basement floor, and the complete range of items is unparalleled.
When I entered the supermarket, a young white woman with three children in a stroller followed behind, and Liu Shuyan helped open the door to let them go in first. The young woman nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you." ”
"It should be done." Liu Shuyan nodded in response, and then sighed: "It's not easy for Canadian mothers to listen. ”
Go shopping in Canada and go to the supermarket. It is not uncommon to see a mother with several children, sometimes even pushing a stroller and a toddler. It looks like it's struggling.
This is difficult to understand in the eyes of the Chinese people, if the child is too young, let them sleep at home, why bring it out?
Canadian mothers actually want to do this, but the law does not allow it, Canada has a law that children under the age of 12 are not allowed to stay at home or travel alone, if the police find out this situation, then the parents or guardians may lose custody or even go to prison.
Liu Shuyan pushed the cart in to buy vegetables, and Qin Shiou was in charge of buying wine. The two soldiers are divided into two ways, so it is also quick to do this.
Qin Shiou habitually drank Newfoundland cold beer, and when he went to the beer area, he saw that there was no such beer, and then he remembered that this kind of beer was not popular in other places, so he chose some high-end puree and dark beer.
Drinks, beer, red wine and white wine, he picked a few, and most of them were expensive.
Because Qin Shiou had already understood on the road, this was the first time that Mao Weilong had a party to entertain his neighbors after buying the farm, so he couldn't lose face to his brother. The wine is good, and it is not bad money anyway.
When swiping the card to pay, Qin Shiou used a black gold centurion, and the little girl at the cashier looked at him in surprise. actually took out his mobile phone and took a photo, and asked for a photo with Qin Shiou.
Qin Shiou smiled bitterly, and secretly said that Wal-Mart's cashier training work is not doing well. This is a problem for the discerning consumer.
You have to rely on a taxi to go back, not to mention a lot of red, yellow and white wine here in Qin Shiou. Just look at Liu Shuyan's side, with five big bags and small bags. Vegetables, meat, grains, oils, condiments, that is called a rich.
The taxi speed is much faster than the minibus, and there is no need to stop, the driver is still a veteran, directly chose a closer path, and the time to go home is half less than when he came, which is worth the money.
On the farm, Mao Weilong had already prepared the barbecue grill, the strong smell of coffee wafted in the yard, there were people brewing coffee in the coffee hut, and there were five or six people sitting outside, talking and laughing loudly.
Seeing Qin Shiou, Mao Weilong brought him over and introduced him to the group that had arrived, this is a family, the farm is not far from Mother Earth, and the owner's name is Kadlaman, a Mexican immigrant.
After a while, John, whom he had seen before, came with his wife and a large Scottish shepherd, which was brilliantly tamed, and had a cake box in his mouth.
John Pu and Mao Weilong hugged and said happily: "My wife baked a cake and brought it over for everyone to taste." ”
Kadlaman said in a loud voice, "I must eat one more piece of Mrs. John's cake, and I still remember how delicious it was, hi, little John, come here, come to me." ”
The second half of the sentence was said to the big sheepdog, but the sheepdog was obviously not interested in him, and after Mao Weilong took the cake box, he looked at the little bullies not far away with interest.
Although the bully dogs are still small, they are not small, and the shepherd dogs are staring at them, not to be outdone, wrinkling their noses to look at the sheepdogs.
After watching it for a while, the shepherd dog came to be interested, leaned over with elegant steps, and licked the little white flower bully dog in the lead with his tongue.
Little White Flower sneezed and waved her fat paws to push the sheepdog's mouth, and the sheepdog insisted on licking it, but Blossom went over to get in front of Little White Flower and opened her arms to stop the sheepdog.
Seeing this, John Puhaha laughed and said, "Look, our little girl is protecting her child, come, little John, sit down at Daddy's." ”
Dogs are good helpers for farmers, and these farmers are good at raising dogs, so they started chatting around the bully dogs, Qin Shiou saw that Mao Weilong was busy barbecuing, so he went over to replace him and asked him to chat with other farmers.
As it got late, there were more people who came to the PARTY, basically all of them dragged their families and some of them with their friends, so although only six or seven families came, there were thirty or forty people, and the courtyard quickly became lively.
Mexicans have a bold temperament, they like barbecue and music, and Cadraman's pickup truck has a speaker on it, and he pulls the cord over and starts playing songs, very loud music. Suddenly, the young man in the courtyard was holding a beer bottle and writhing his body while screaming.
Qin Shiou stayed with Sha Ke, not to mention anything else, he was good at barbecue, and soon after he took over the grill, the aroma of barbecue meat spread.
A few children ran over and looked at the meat on the grill in a daze, and the little bullies also shook off the flowers, and ran around Qin Shiou in a hurry, and there was still a huff in their mouths.
Qin Shiou laughed, squatted down to flick the little bullies one by one, and said with a smile: "You want to eat meat just after weaning?" No, no, no, this is too anxious, go play with your Duoduo sister and see how anxious she is. ”
He was teasing the little bully dog, a big red BMW 760 drove in, and when he saw the car, the farmers who were originally drinking and chatting suddenly turned down and looked at the car with dissatisfaction. (To be continued......)
