Chapter 259: Don't forget your roots
(Thanks to the book friend private dney1iu, Haiyuan novel for the reward and encouragement)
After the pleasant dinner, John Woo took his assistant and left. [][]. [23] [x]. [ ] Fortunately, they booked a hotel in Houston, otherwise they wouldn't have dared to let them go so late as they could.
The fat man is reluctant to give up, and he has been sent out far away.
"Yun Xuan, in the past two days, if you have time, you will go to the city to see if there are any sugar melons for sale, and buy some back." After Liu Yunxuan and the others came back, Liu's mother said.
"Mom wants to eat candy? Aren't there a lot of candy left over from the last Halloween purchase? Liu Yunxuan said with some doubts.
"You kid, it's really, it's a little forgetful when you come out." Uncle Zhao said with a smile after hearing this.
This time, Liu Yunxuan was even more confused, why did he forget his roots. And my mother doesn't usually eat much candy.
Liu Yunhai and the fat man were also a little confused.
"You guys, one or two, how long has it been since it came out, I don't know if the 16th is Xiao Nian." Uncle Zhao said angrily.
After receiving Uncle Zhao's reminder, Liu Yunxuan also slapped his head. After I got here, I really forgot about it.
No wonder when I went to buy a car in the morning, I passed by Houston's Chinatown and looked very festive, it turned out that it was almost the Spring Festival.
Twenty-three, a small year.
When I was a child in the Northeast, the custom of eating sugar melons was popular. Mother obviously reminded herself just now, but she didn't even think about it, and she didn't blame Uncle Zhao for saying that she forgot her roots.
"I'll go to Chinatown tomorrow to buy and get some things for the New Year. This is our first Spring Festival abroad, so we have to be festive. ”
Liu Yunxuan said with a grin.
Looking at Liu Yunxuan's funny appearance, Liu's mother glared at him angrily.
"Big, I want to buy more sugar melons, Fangfang likes to eat them very much." Fang Fang said with a small mouth.
After hearing grandma and big they said. Fangfang remembered the maltose melon with sesame seeds that she used to eat every year.
"Okay, I'll buy it for Fangfang tomorrow, but you can't eat more when you come back, otherwise you'll have small worm teeth." Liu Yunxuan said with a smile while scratching Fangfang's little nose.
"Yun Xuan, does the beating really have no effect?" Liu's mother is still a little worried about this matter.
"Mom, don't worry, it's okay." Liu Yunxuan said with a smile.
"Didn't Fergus say it before he left this morning. The one named Yamazaki is out of danger. Let's wait for them to sue now. ”
"Yes, old sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about it." Uncle Zhao was also persuading on the side. "Didn't you listen to what the lawyer said, that little Japanese is racist, so we are not afraid of him suing."
Charlie and the others also followed and persuaded on the side, after all, this kind of injury is too common in the United States, and it is not a problem at all.
With the enlightenment of these people, Liu's mother finally put her mind at ease.
"Okay, Yun Xuan, you can take care of it yourself. If you can't do it, you can accompany the two of you to spend money. Let's all rest early. These two days have been busy enough. ”
Liu Yunxuan also felt a little tired, after all, he used a lot of internal strength to help these children this afternoon.
When I opened my eyes the next morning, I saw Fangfang holding the little fox in her arms, sitting on the edge of her bed, her little head dozing off little by little.
"Why did Fangfang get up so early?" Liu Yunxuan helped Fangfang tidy up her pajamas and asked.
"Great, Fangfang is also going to buy sugar melons with you. I'm afraid you'll leave. Fang Fang said with a small yawn.
"You little ghost, where did you go so early?" After Liu Yunxuan finished speaking, he hugged Fangfang to his bed. "Let's get some sleep here first, and then when we go out in the morning. Big come and call you. ”
With a big guarantee, Fangfang can rest assured. It doesn't matter if the little fox is sleepy or not, anyway, I hugged it and began to sleep back in the cage.
"Where's the little ghost? I wake up early every day, why haven't I come down today? When it was time for breakfast, Liu's mother didn't see Xiao Fangfang and asked.
"I'm going back to sleep now." Liu Yunxuan took a sip of porridge and said simply. "This little girl, she doesn't know what time it is in the morning, so she ran to my house to watch me. I'm afraid I won't take her with me when I go out today. ”
"Andy, we're going to check it out with you today." Charlie also said with great interest on the side.
Last night, I heard that the most important traditional festival in China was coming, and Charlie and Robert, who had planned to leave in a few days, discussed it and decided to leave after the festival and follow the experience.
Wait until it's almost 9 o'clock. Fangfang finally woke up, rubbed her eyes and walked downstairs, and saw that Liu Yunxuan really didn't leave, so she went to wash up with confidence.
This time, there were many people, many cars, and two large pickup trucks also drove over. Liu Yunxuan is ready to purchase New Year's goods.
Michelle and the Americans are no worse than Xiao Fangfang.
CCTV has overseas channels, and the Spring Festival Gala over the years has also been broadcast live simultaneously, and they will occasionally watch it.
Unlike the galas on their side, which are mainly based on songs, the Spring Festival Gala has a wide variety of programs, which also makes them sigh.
When you come to Chinatown, you will see a festive red. Red lanterns are hung at the entrances of each shop, and customers are greeted in traditional costumes.
"Wow, big, sugar gourd, Fangfang wants to eat sugar gourd."
Just when everyone felt that their eyes couldn't see it, Fangfang shouted loudly.
There was even a restaurant that launched a sugar gourd, which was suddenly given by the sharp-eyed Xiao Fangfang.
Fangfang couldn't move when she saw it, she used to eat it often in the mountain village, sweet and sour. But after I got here, I didn't eat it once.
Not only Fangfang, but Liu Yunxuan couldn't help but tap their mouths a few times, savoring the taste of the rock sugar gourd chewing in their mouths, and their saliva unconsciously filled their mouths.
One person has a large string of rock sugar gourds, and they are very happy to eat. After Charlie finished eating one bunch himself, he went to buy a few more. However, Liu Yunxuan didn't dare to let him eat more, and his stomach was a little uncomfortable after eating too much.
"Xuanzi, let's buy some hawthorn when the time comes, and dip it ourselves when we get home." The fat man said vaguely while biting on the sugar gourd.
"Okay, when we go back to the ranch, let's try it too, and if it doesn't work, let's try it a few more times." Liu Yunxuan said with a smile.
Make some sugar gourds, presumably the people in the ranch will also like it.
It is not difficult to make a rock sugar gourd, and the only thing to master is the heat of boiling sugar water. When you get old, you will be bitter, and your teeth will be tender.
The group didn't take long to buy a lot of things. Charlie takes Fangfang, as long as he sees something interesting, it is a word "buy".
Liu Yunxuan and the others were not idle, and they bought more than forty red lanterns alone. He's going to fill all the villas on Michelle's Ranch.
"Brother, these clothes are very beautiful, should we buy a set for each person?" When he came to the door of a Tang costume store, Liu Yunhai pointed to the Tang costume displayed in the window and asked.
"Let's go, go in and see, I haven't worn any of these Tang costumes." Liu Yunxuan walked into the store first.
When I came to the store, the business was really hot.
There are not only a lot of Chinese, but also a lot of foreign friends who are buying, and the clerks are a little too busy to walk.
Although I didn't know any of these people, they all greeted each other.
Because of Liu Yunxuan, they all greeted each other in Huaxia, and the boss also received them in person.
After talking with the boss, I learned that this boss is already the third generation here, but this ancestral craft has not been lost.
Especially in the past few years, there are many people who buy Tang costumes, and a lot of inventory is prepared in advance every year, but when the Spring Festival is approaching, there are still some insufficient sales.
Originally, Liu Yunxuan and the others planned to buy more, and when the time came, they would also go down to the cowboys on the ranch, but there were not so many at all, and there were still many sizes that were not suitable.
Now I can't even get together a few of them.
"That's it, Mr. Liu, I'll measure the size for everyone in a while, and I'll rush to work in the evening, and I'll make it in three or five days." The boss thought about it for a moment and said.
He now also knows that Liu Yunxuan and the others have not been in the United States for a long time, and after following them to inquire about some domestic situations, they chatted very well.
In addition, Liu Yunxuan was the first time they were visiting, so they decided to drive them out even if they worked harder.
Liu Yunxuan and they are naturally very grateful, after all, after watching this meeting, they also know that the boss's orders must be full.
After paying the deposit, everyone is looking forward to wearing these Tang costumes in the future. (To be continued......)
