174. A Gift for You (Canon, 7/7)
When Qin Shiou returned to the fishing ground, Reyeke was waiting for him, and two employees were busy assembling ATVs.
ATVs don't need to be licensed, whether it's in China or Canada.
Huaxia's "Measures for the Administration of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses of the People's Republic of China" does not have ATVs, which do not belong to ordinary motor vehicles and do not belong to disabled vehicles, so they cannot be licensed and cannot be on the road.
In Canada, there is this type of car, which clearly stipulates that ATVs belong to special vehicles, and special vehicles can only be used in designated places, such as entertainment venues, stadiums, fishing grounds, farms, forests and other places.
Reyeke explained to Qin Shiou that if he wanted to drive this car out to play, he had to put it on the cargo bed behind the pickup truck to run the road, and then unload it to play at the designated place.
Qin Shiou didn't plan to let this car go on the road, just walk around the town a few times, mainly for use in the fishing grounds.
After the Polaris H2 was installed, Reyeke added gasoline to it and asked Qin Shiou to try it.
ATVs are simpler to drive than cars because they don't use a steering wheel, but handlebars like bicycles and motorcycles. In addition, the H2 is an automatic transmission, and the electric engine only needs to press the button, and you can run by pressing the accelerator.
The wheels of the H2 are wide and large, and they won't sink down when driving on the beach, but the center of gravity is too high and a little bumpy, which is also a feature.
After driving a lap on the ATV, Qin Shiou thought it was good, so he asked Mao Weilong to try it, and he and Rejek went to debug the Bombardier S200, which was a gift he gave to the children.
When Rejek learned that Auerbach had adopted four children, he happily said, "I'll have time later." I give each child a small fishing rod, which is the best for fishing, and you can go to me and get it when you have time. ”
Bigfoot Rejek is different from ordinary Canadians, North Americans pay attention to 'human favor is human favor, business is business', and father and son have to settle accounts when doing business. Rayek is similar to the green forest heroes of China. I often like to give things away or discount them.
Shaq's explanation is that they were all descendants of the Vikings, so they were very different in temperament from the white immigrants from mainland Europe.
Later, Iverson walked out of the villa, and when he saw him, Reyek exclaimed. "You guy is really big enough, where did you find this kind of giant?" ”
Qin Shiou greeted Iverson and asked him to go to the beach to play, and then explained the origin of Iverson, in fact, as soon as he heard his name, Reyek knew what was going on. He looked at Rejeke's back with complicated eyes, and said, "It turned out to be Julie's children, they are all so old." ”
"You know?" Qin Shiou asked.
Reyek smiled bitterly and said, "Aren't you surprised that I am so familiar with Shaq and the sea monster?" In fact, fifteen years ago, my family also lived in Farewell Town. When the fishery closed, my father took us to St. John's, and it grew. ”
"I know Ivoson, I took care of him when he was a kid. The reason was his mother, Sister Julie. Reyek sighed at this, "My brother Kent used to be Julie's most fervent suitor. Unfortunately, Julie later committed suicide, and Kent couldn't stand the blow and went to Quebec to serve as a soldier. ”
Qin Shiou nodded silently, what happened back then was not a family.
Sure enough, Reyek then said to him: "What happened to Julie is too unacceptable. At that time, the government announced the closure of Newfoundland's fishing grounds, and Farewell Island became a dead island. These two events made many people particularly disappointed in the town and left the town. ”
Saw Iverson. Reyek's feelings fell, apparently recalling the unbearable memories of his youth.
Qin Shiou looked at Reyeke's age, he should have been a teenager at that time, and he might have a certain affection for Miss Julie.
After drinking a glass of ice wine, Rejek took his leave, and before leaving, he asked, "What do you like now, Iverson?" ”
Qin Shiou was just about to speak, but Reyeke preemptively said: "In addition to eating, man, I know that he likes to eat by looking at his size." ”
After thinking about it carefully, Qin Shiou could only shake his head: "It's gone." ”
Reyek left disappointed, his brow furrowed, not knowing what he was thinking.
In the afternoon, Boris and the four of them ran back happily, and as soon as they saw Qin Shiou, Shirley raised the small purse and said happily: "Qin, look at how much money we have earned?" That's a lot of money! ”
"Congratulations, little bosses." Qin Shiou and the four of them high-fived one by one.
After the high-five, Boris, Gordon and Michelle all looked at Shirley, who shyly took out a blue headscarf from his schoolbag and said, "Qin, this is a gift I bought for you with the money from selling dumplings, will you like it?" ”
Qin Shiou has never had the habit of wearing a headscarf, but fishermen and fishermen have this equipment, and it is inevitable to encounter wind and waves when going to sea, and the headscarf is used to protect the hair from being wet by the sea or freezing cold.
Looking at the nervous Shirley, Qin Shiou took the headscarf and looked at it, it was a fashionable headscarf, blue in color, and a cartoon calf on the front.
He put the headscarf on his head, hugged Shirley and said, "Thank you, sweetheart, I like it very much, I always wanted to buy a headscarf, but I didn't meet someone I liked, you gave me a great headscarf." ”
Shirley laughed, Qin Shiou let go of her, Gordon walked over and handed him a trinket hanging around his neck, a thin chain, and a small stainless steel conch in the middle: "This is my gift, Qin." ”
Powell took out a big sunglasses from his pocket and gave them to Qin Shiou, and said, "You like to bask in the sun, Qin, these sunglasses can protect your eyes." ”
Michelle was the last, but he took out something that surprised Qin Shiou, it was an arm guard, an arm guard with rough workmanship.
The arm guard was a piece of deerskin, with four belts tied to the arm, and a rough wooden block inlaid in the middle, which was very common among eagle keepers, and was worn on the arm for eagles, golden eagles, and the like to grasp and stand on.
"Qin, I think this arm guard will make your relationship with Nimitz better." Michelle said shyly.
Looking at these gifts, Qin Shiou felt that his eyes were a little hot, and he spread his hands. Michelle's little face turned white all of a sudden, and she asked, "You don't like it?" ”
Qin Shiou held him in his arms, then hugged the other three children, and said, "No, no, I like it." Guys, I love it! This is the best gift I have ever received, the best gift I have ever received in my life! Thank you so much, these gifts are fantastic! ”
He finally understood why men and women must have children after marriage, and this feeling of being cared for cannot be replaced by any feeling.
In the past, although Qin Shiou always bought things for his four children. But in fact, the feeling for them is like treating pets, raising them is more like a task, and the role he gives himself is the guardian.
But now I received a gift. But let him understand that his task is far more than that!
He also understood at this time that the children went to sell dumplings, not because they wanted to exercise themselves or anything, they just wanted to make money to buy gifts for themselves - they didn't have pocket money, and Qin Shiou forgot about it.
Wear a hood and bring the chain around your neck. Putting on sunglasses and tying up his arm guards, Qin Shiou whistled to Nimitz, who was hiding in the shade of a tree to escape the heat.
Nimitz flapped his wings and flew over, grabbed the sheath and stood on his arm. Qin Shiou called Mao Weilong over and asked him to take a picture of him and the children.
In this way, after receiving the children's gifts, he also began to distribute them.
In Boston and Miami, Qin Shiou brought some small gifts to his four children, but he never found the opportunity to distribute them. Now's your chance.
He gave each of the four people a set of jerseys, as well as sports equipment such as autographed photos of the stars and knee and wrist pads. Finally, he took out a Spalding basketball and asked, "Which of you likes basketball?" Play with me later. ”
None of the four children played basketball. Michelle scratched his head, came up to take the basketball and patted his hands awkwardly, and said, "Then I'll play with you in the future, okay, Qin?" ”
"Great." Qin Shiou smiled happily.
The last surprise has not yet been taken out, and when dinner is eaten, Qin Shiou takes his four children to the beach, where the petite but majestic body of the Bombardier S200 is placed.
Qin Shiou walked over with the four children, he asked Powell to sit in the car, and said, "Young man, this is your car, and he will be your race car in the future, do you like it?" ”
Powell had such a guess when he saw this ATV, and when Qin Shiou said it, he still shouted in surprise: "God, my car? Is this my car? Are you sure? It's unbelievable, my God, is this my race car? ”
Qin Shiou took a photo of him and said: "Yes, your car, your first car, your racing road is about to start here, I think one day in the future, you will drive a Ferrari or Ford to the F1 track!" ”
Powell stroked the front of the Bombardier, carefully touching every place, and began to cry as he touched it, and finally began to cry while holding the handle of the car.
Qin Shiou hugged him and comforted: "Don't cry, Powell, you are the eldest brother, you can't cry again in the future, of course, when you get the first professional F1 championship trophy, you can cry again." ”
He can understand Powell, this is the eldest of the four children, in the past wandering road, he needs to take care of his younger brothers and sisters, he has to give them food first, they have been wronged and he has to come out, although he is always beaten and bruised.
Moreover, Powell is still a black man, Canada is not as black as the United States, and the people are conservative, so the discrimination against blacks here is still relatively strict, so you can imagine how miserable his experience was.
After crying for a while, Powell wiped away his tears and smiled: "Qin, can you teach me to drive this car?" ”
"You give it a name first." Qin Shiou said.
Powell thought for a moment and said, "Then call it sea-biscuit, okay?" ”
Sea biscuits, a kind of food, North American sailors and fishermen used to eat the most common food, known for their low cost, poor taste, and energy.
Plus, it's a name that has made a name for itself in the world of horse racing, and it's a name that represents a generation of legends! (To be continued)
