After spending two nights and one day at sea, Qin Shiou used the consciousness of the sea god to patrol the water, changed two places, took his parents, sisters and others to fish in different places, caught different fish and shrimp, and felt the life of a fisherman at sea.

The weather has been good in the past two days, the sea is calm, the sea water at this time is peaceful like a big blue mirror, boundless, clean and clear, occasionally when the sea is particularly calm, Qin Shiou wants to stand on the sea.

Father Qin and the others had to praise from time to time, and when they finally returned to the offshore waters, the brother-in-law took Xiaohui to kayak on the sea. The water is shallow and clean, the sunlight casts down, the clear waters seem to be non-existent, they are like rowing in the air.

After that, life was plain and comfortable, Qin Shiou got up in the morning to exercise, the teenagers were on vacation, and the work of cleaning up the stables was attributed to Gordon, Xiaohui was later bewitched by Gordon, and he also ran to shovel horse manure, Qin's father and Qin's mother played with melons, so he had nothing to do.

When the fishery is on track, Shaq will arrange for the fishermen to go out to sea to catch the catch, because the fishery is rich in resources, so they don't have to go to the open sea to fish, which is safe and trouble-free. There was nothing wrong with the Fishery Alliance, Qin Shiou's hot hand suppressed the fish thieves, and there were no more fish thieves for more than ten days, and the fishermen finally put their minds at ease.

Qin Shiou enjoys such a quiet life very much, because Winnie is about to give birth, Qin's father and Qin's mother, Miranda Mario and the arriving sister's family have taken over the chores in the family, he doesn't have to care about anything, he just needs to accompany Winnie well.

Starting on the twentieth day of the lunar month, various cities in Canada began to hold New Year fairs, which is a tradition brought by the Chinese. But it has been carried forward by local vendors, especially in the big cities of Ottawa, Vancouver and Toronto. The vendors all know that the Chinese are making good money these days, and they will hold various activities to promote Chinese people on these days.

In this context. Some cities have a Chinese New Year Sale Week, which is a bit similar to the pre-Christmas sale, where items are cheap and affordable, attracting a large number of Chinese to buy, and then there are more people like a Chinese New Year fair.

It just so happens that the economic situation in various places is not good, and the government simply took this opportunity to formulate a festival, called the New Year Shopping Festival, which has a total of two days, and the time is not uniform in various places. The purpose is the same, to take money out of the pockets of wealthy Chinese.

The Chinese are the most thrifty and industrious people in the world, and there may not be one of them, no matter what kind of work the Chinese in Canada does, they have more savings than native white and other colored immigrants.

On the 24th and 25th of the lunar month, St. John's also held a New Year shopping festival. In fact, there are not many Chinese here, but this is the largest city in Newfoundland and the only city that can be put on the table, so when there are activities for Chinese here, Chinese people from all over Newfoundland will come. The scale is not small.

Qin Shiou received a notice from the city government to attend the festival as a guest of honor, and Yan Donglei, the president of the Newfoundland Chinese Mutual Aid Association, was also invited, and Qin Shiou felt that such an event would help improve the status of Chinese in Newfoundland. I gladly agreed.

On the morning of the 24th of the lunar month, he took his family by boat and rushed to St. John's. Even the tiger and the leopard were brought, and the whole family went over to play.

Winnie also got on the boat with a big belly. She accompanied Qin Shiou as a guest to attend, and when the time came, she could leave, just in time to go to St. Mary's Hospital for the last fertility check-up, if there is no problem, she should give birth after the year.

Perhaps spurred on by successful shopping festivals in places like Toronto and Vancouver, St. John's was greeted on the first day by a large number of vendors, many of whom came by car or boat from other provinces, and the city of St. John's deliberately mimicked the annual fairs in rural China, closing a wide street for vendors to use.

Qin Shiou and Hamley met and hugged, Hamley smiled and said in Chinese: "Happy New Year, Qin, Happy New Year, Winnie, I wish you all the best in the coming year, come, this is a red envelope, a big red envelope for Hathaway, a small purse for the little guy in your stomach." ”

Winnie took the purse and thanked her, the street was very noisy, Qin Shiou asked her if she felt very noisy, if not, send her to the hospital for examination first.

Winnie shook her head and said it was okay, just let him and Hamlet start the ceremony of the festival that they were going to meet.

After Hamlet met and hugged the two of them, he went to greet Qin's father, Qin's mother, and his brother-in-law's family one by one. Miranda and Mario felt that this was normal, Qin's father and Qin's mother felt very flattered when they learned that this well-dressed middle-aged man was the mayor, and when they shook hands with Hamlet, they shook hands with both hands, and Qin's father also thanked Hamlet: "Thanks to the government and the leadership, our life is getting better and better." ”

Hamley's Chinese level is touching, rote memorization is good for the New Year and good health, Qin's father's dialect version of Mandarin is similar to an alien language to him, he continued to smile and nodded repeatedly, and then quietly asked the accompanying translator what the two old men said.

The interpreter was embarrassed, so he vaguely said that the two old men praised you for your excellent governance and wished you a smooth career, and Hamlet hurriedly went back to thank the two old men for their blessings.

The festival kick-off ceremony is very simple, some regional festivals in Newfoundland have their own LOGO, Hamlet took the city councilor, Qin Shiou and local Chinese representatives to unveil the red satin to reveal the LOGO, and then symbolically say a few words of blessing, and the sales festival officially began.

Qin Shiou asked Qin's father, Qin's mother and others to form a group to purchase, Qin's father saw that there were many people, and he was worried that someone would steal the melon, Qin Shiou didn't care, and said: "You give me the child, don't worry, you can't lose it, there are tigers and leopards." ”

Father Qin worried: "Don't expect dogs for everything, no matter how smart tigers and leopards are, they are also livestock, and there are so many people, adults can squeeze around, let alone dogs and children?" ”

Qin Shiou carried the melon and said that you can rest assured that you will go, and he will definitely be optimistic about the child.

Qin's father and Qin's mother told him again and again, and then followed Sister Qin and the teenagers to go shopping and buy things.

When his parents left, Qin Shiou put down the melon on his shoulder and handed it to Huzi and Leopard, patted the heads of the two little ones and said, "Do you know what the little princess is optimistic about?" If you really lose it, I'll eat you two stew. ”

The tiger and the leopard stuck out their tongues stupidly to sell cuteness in front of him, and the melon was bent on going shopping to see the excitement, and whenever she went out, the tiger and the leopard would drive her back. (To be continued.) )
