The British still attach great importance to New Year's Day, and dinner is also very rich. However, Li Han's attention was not on food at all, although he had met Count Lance a few times, it was the first time he came to see him as the boyfriend of Count Lance's daughter, which made Li Han feel nervous and embarrassed, and suddenly experienced the feeling of a hairy foot son-in-law meeting his father-in-law.

The Count of Reims looked faint, and did not know whether they were for or against being together. However, since he didn't scold and didn't kick Li Han out, Li Han took it as if he agreed to have a relationship with Lydia.

Thinking like this, although Li Han was still a little nervous, he was in the mood to take a look at what he was eating. Although there were only three people, there was still a whole roast suckling pig on the table, which had been divided by the Count of Reims, and there was still a large piece on Li Han's plate, and the honey-coated pork was roasted on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant and sweet.

In addition, there is a large roast goose, and the bread crumbs in the belly of the goose are wrapped in the aroma of meat, and all the essence is melted into it. There are also pan-fried lamb chops and stewed crispy chicken nuggets.

Surprised, he blurted out, "Why is it all meat?" ”

Count Lance glanced at him and didn't speak, Li Han looked at the expression of his future father-in-law, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Lydia relieved him by saying, "What we ask for for the New Year is meat on the table and wine in the cupboard. ”

Li Han turned his head and glanced at the wine cabinet in the restaurant, which contained more wine than he had in the previous two visits, including red wine, white wine, champagne, brandy, whiskey, etc., and a bottle of Moutai that Li Han gave last time.

Li Han told Lydia about the customs of Huangguo: "There may be some differences between our places, but the custom in my hometown is that chickens, ducks, fish and pork should be there, especially fish, which means that there is more than enough every year. In addition, you can't eat all the dishes, so you have to continue eating them until the next day. In addition to these, we also make foods made with pork, such as bacon and sausages. Bacon is also different from place to place, we use pork with a lot of salt to dry, and some people smoke it. It's that smoky taste. Sausages are pork minced into meat filling, mixed with various seasonings, scraped thin with cleaned pig intestines, and then stuffed into the casing, many people like to eat. He paused, and his feelings suddenly fell a little, "My grandfather still likes to make taro balls to eat." It is made with sun-dried sweet potato flour and boiled taro. Next time you come to my place, I'll make it for you, I haven't eaten it in years. There is also a sweet soup made of red dates, white fungus and raisins, and I, a person with a non-sweet tooth, can drink a big bowl every time. ”

Lydia knew that he was brought up by his grandfather, but unfortunately his grandfather died when he was in college, so she said, "Then if I eat it, I think it tastes good." You're going to teach me how to do it. ”

Li Han smiled: "Okay, you can make it for me in the New Year in the future." ”

The Earl of Lance saw that this kid was actually with his daughter ** in front of him, cleared his throat unhappily, and diverted the topic: "Will you go to see the New Year's Day parade in London tomorrow?" "I regret it as soon as I finish speaking, isn't this a reminder to go on a date? What's so good about this kid? Isn't it just that the medical skills are more powerful? It turned out that Lydia was fascinated.

Lydia naturally didn't know what her father was thinking, and said with a smile: "Go, go early tomorrow morning." Daddy, are you going along? ”

The earl's face was very unsightly, but he still said: "On this cold day, I am too lazy to go out, so I won't go, you guys have fun." He sorted out the food on the plate, stood up, and said, "I'm a little tired." You eat slowly. ”

Watching him slowly walk out of the restaurant, Li Han and Lydia looked at each other. Li Han didn't have any family ties, so he didn't understand the single father's reluctance to his daughter, and he didn't know why the earl was suddenly in a bad mood. Lydia could guess some of her father's feelings, but she didn't know how to comfort him.

Li Han hesitated for a moment, lowered his voice and asked, "Do you want to comfort the earl?" ”

Lydia nodded, shoving the last few bites of dessert into her mouth, "Then you go back to your room first." I'll be here in a moment. ”

Li Han waited in the room until after 12 o'clock before Lydia returned, and her face became much more relaxed. She played two games of chess with her father and welcomed the New Year together. The father was relieved, and he slept happily before coming back. At this time, she also felt that she was too tired to do anything, so she hurriedly took a bath and went to sleep.

At breakfast the next day, the Count of Reims looked much better at Li Han's face, and personally sent them to the door and watched them drive back to London to see the New Year's parade.

The parade starts from Piccadilly Avenue in central London, passes through famous buildings and areas such as Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall and finally arrives at Parliament Avenue, a two-mile long procession. By the time they reached Piccadilly Street, the procession had already been out, but it was long enough that they mixed in with the front third of the procession and followed.

This is the 28th consecutive year of the New Year's parade in London, and last year Li Han missed the excitement because he accompanied his parents to browse London, but he didn't know that there was such a thing. However, the British people seem to like parades very much, and many festivals like to dress up and gather tens of thousands of people to parade together, often more than half of the front is gone, and the back is not out yet. Later, when he saw the report, Li Han realized that he had underestimated the number of participants, according to statistics, there were tens of thousands of performers alone, and there were 5o thousand tourists from all over the world.

The closest to Li Han and them was a father and son-like person, driving a miniature locomotive and slowly moving along with the procession. The locomotive was steam engine-style, and a small open-top carriage was dragged behind it, and the father and son, one in bright red and the other in bright blue, both wore high red and white striped hats. The son, who was sitting in the carriage, looked no more than eighteen or nine years old, and he still had two small British flags in his hands.

A "snowman" with a carrot nose and black buttoned eyes walked up to him, followed by two beautiful women, both dressed in white plush three-point clothes. Li Han leaned into Lydia's ear and said, "Although the winter in Britain is not cold, it is also a few degrees below zero, right?" They dress like this and are not afraid of catching a cold. ”

Lydia smiled and nudged him, "Isn't it just to feast your eyes?" ”

Li Han was resolute in not making a mistake on this issue, he pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "The figure is much worse than yours." ”

Lydia was amused, the pair of snowman beauties were actually quite good, but she naturally wouldn't refute her boyfriend's praise, she didn't know that Li Han was so good at talking sweetly, and thought he would be the kind of person who does more than he talks and is clumsy.

It was a group of high school cheerleaders who took over them, and if it weren't for Lydia's explanation, Li Han would definitely think that they were all college students. Someone has said before that a Western girl, a 16-year-old looks like a 24-year-old, and that's right.

Next are the veterans of the Royal British Legionnaires' Association, who wear handsome military uniforms, berets and white gloves, carry military flags, and walk neatly and imposingly.

When they were admiring the temperament of the soldiers, the style of painting suddenly changed, and all kinds of cute or funny cartoon character balloons appeared in front of their eyes. Garfield in the shape of a baseball player with a bare fart in a suit. Shares of Donald Duck, inside. Donald Duck worn over his pants......

"I just said that the people of the corrupt country can't be so upright, and sure enough, it's all an illusion just now." Li Han muttered.

Lydia looked at the balloon happily, the voice was noisy, she didn't hear Li Han's words clearly, and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Li Han hurriedly shook his head: "I didn't say anything...... Look, is that a dragon? ”

A huge colored dragon came from afar, covered with colorful thorns, to be honest, although he knew that it was a dragon, Li Han didn't see where it looked like a legendary dragon at all, not even a lizard, okay?

Follow the dragon's fart. The thing behind the strand that suddenly emits white smoke is even more speechless, it is also a small locomotive, there are four aunts sitting on the car, the point is, the locomotive is simulated, the high chimney has been emitting white smoke, I don't know if it is steam, if it is smoke, the pollution is too heavy.

The poor clown followed behind the little locomotive, and his vaudeville show was completely covered in smoke, so that no one who was a little farther away could see his existence.

When Li Han saw the retro carriage, he thought that the carriage would be filled with British dignitaries or royal families, but when he got closer, he realized that the people sitting in the carriage were actually the ambassador and his wife from the Huangguo Embassy in the United Kingdom. I don't know what kind of excitement they came to make, maybe the ambassadors of other countries also came, but he didn't know him.

There is still a donkey breeding association, Li Han never knew that there were people in the UK who raised donkeys, and he couldn't help but start to reflect on whether he was too lonely and unheard.

On the back of a very beautiful donkey is a cute little girl like a doll, and her chubby face is very pink, which makes people look at it and take a bite. She sat calmly on the back of a donkey like a little adult, and waved to the tourists with the members of the association. Although she was still a small person, she attracted everyone's attention, and the other adults of the guild were reduced to the background at this moment.

In Star Wars, a group of white knights escorted by the black knights appeared in front of people's eyes, although their clothes looked a bit like cheap plastic, but the handcuffs on the wrists of the black knights were made like real ones, and the guns in the hands of the white knights did not look like lasers, but like imitation submachine guns. The onlookers were dizzying, but Li Han always felt that something was wrong, but he was still very young when he watched Star Wars, and he was not familiar with the films of this series, so he didn't know what the problem was.

In confusion, the dark warrior suddenly took two quick steps to catch up with the donkey breeding association in front of him, handcuffed one of the women by the neck, and turned to face the white warrior. The tourists next to him all laughed, is the black knight trying to escape?

Although the strangled woman was startled, she was laughing, but gradually her face changed, and she felt that her neck was strangled very tightly. The white warriors, on the other hand, stopped and pulled the bolts in unison.

Li Han's face immediately changed, and they were holding real guns in their hands.
