Chapter 103: Suspicion
Christmas, the most important holiday in the entire Western world. Pen~fun~Ge www.biquge.info or strictly speaking, it is the most important festival in Western countries where the Christian sect of God is the dominant culture. They consider December 25 to be the day of the birth of the Lord of their faith, a new beginning, and so it is given almost the same meaning as the Chinese New Year.
The Christmas holiday is also the largest holiday in the United States, and many people choose to take their annual leave in this month, in addition to the seven-day legal rest period stipulated by the state. So this month, the United States is almost in the warm atmosphere of relaxing, resting and preparing for the holiday. Christmas is a lively holiday that Americans yearn for, and it is taken as seriously by Americans as China treats the Spring Festival.
Christmas gifts, preparing roast turkeys, Christmas trees, American Christmas customs are not at all a few. Christmas in the United States has a very strong romantic atmosphere, and it takes a lot of effort to prepare for Christmas, celebrate Christmas, and have many customs, such as eating turkey at Christmas, giving candy to children, and sending gifts to close people to express blessings.
During the Christmas season, according to a rough estimate, U.S. stores account for a quarter of the year's merchandise sales during the Christmas period. Some stores even account for half of it. Every shop is full of people, and the merchants are working very hard to sell their various goods, and ordinary people are willing to take the opportunity to abandon the old and renew.
Of course, money is everything in a capitalist society, and in this country that is known as open and free and everyone is equal, the gap between the rich and the poor is still huge.
Many people who have nothing can only sigh when faced with the expensive gifts of Christmas. But for most people, shopping is the main theme these days.
Not to mention the crowds of major stores, at least they are shoulder to shoulder.
"You really don't have to dress up like this, few people know you!" Duan Tianqin helplessly looked at Duan Tianqing, who was fully armed with sunglasses, masks, and caps.
"Cut, will you be responsible if the scene is out of control at that time?! I'm a star of tomorrow! Duan Tianqing proudly described him by the local media in Golden State.
“。。。 How old did you be, so shameless?! Duan Tianqin said with his forehead raised.
"Hey, hey!"
"Don't ink, hurry up, buy gifts, don't you have to go to Stephen's house for a party at night, I don't know how Ayesha is preparing, let's go help early!" After speaking, Duan Tianqin pulled him and rushed into the crowd.
"Oh, good!"
Just as the major supermarkets in China are full at the end of the year, the major shopping malls in San Francisco are also crowded. The Chinese in the Golden State generally came to this land several generations ago, so they also have a tradition of celebrating Christmas.
In the mall, there are white Americans, blacks, Chinese, mixed-race guys of all colors. It is a good reflection of the characteristics of the United States, which is a country of immigrants where people of all races from all over the world gather and live together.
Duan Tianqing didn't take off his mask, hat, and sunglasses even when he was indoors, looking nervous.
"Hey, you said it would be okay to buy one for Phil?!" Duan Tianqin asked, pointing to an expensive Barbie doll suit in the window. There are several girls lying outside the window looking longingly, and each girl has a princess dream.
"I remember when I was a kid like this!" Duan Tianqin said nostalgically.
"Yes, and then you played for less than a week and all of them were destroyed, and if you were afraid of being beaten, you would blame me, crying and crying, and almost even I believed it!" Duan Tianqing said indignantly.
"I will never forget it for the rest of my life, this is the first time in my life that I have been wronged so much, and I will apologize to you if I am not beaten!" Duan Tianqing was so angry that his eyes turned red.
"Haha, it's all when I was a child, why are you still mentioning him?" Duan Tianqin was a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect Duan Tianqing to remember this.
"This is the shadow of my childhood!" Duan Tianqing said with an ugly face.
"Hehe, hey, boss, how much is this?! Is there a discount for me to buy two? Duan Tianqin hurriedly changed the topic.
Seeing Duan Tianqin, he seemed to be very interested in a global limited edition Barbie doll set, which cost tens of thousands of dollars, which is not something that ordinary salaried people can afford at all. So it was lying alone in a shop window, no one cared about it for a long time, and the boss just regarded Duan Tianqin and their sister and brother as casual looks.
But Duan Tianqing didn't think so, "Sister, you don't have to buy this for Phil, she doesn't like it!" ”
"How do you know she doesn't like it, every girl loves Barbie!" Duan Tianqin rolled his eyes and said.
"She really doesn't like it, she doesn't even have a stuffed animal at home." Duan Tianqing said helplessly.
"And what does she like?!" There are only a few things that the little girl likes, and Duan Tianqin actually doesn't know much about Phil, a little girl, after all, she spends most of her time in New York.
"I like zombies, I like cars, basketballs, all kinds of weapons, I read comics, and I eat!" Duan Tianqing recalled.
“。。。 Are you a girl?! The taste is too heavy! Duan Tianqin was speechless.
"What can I do? I'm also helpless! Duan Tianqing spread his hands.
In the end, Duan Tianqin still bought the expensive Barbie doll. The boss kept being courteous and recommending some other products. As a result, Duan Tianqin waved his hand again and bought a house and a few sets of clothes for his Barbie doll.
When swiping the card, Duan Tianqin indifferently took out Duan Tianqing's card, and the price on it made Duan Tianqing's face twitch.
"It's so expensive, why are you buying it, sister?!"
"Can't I keep it for myself?!" Duan Tianqin gave him a blank look.
"Huh?! You want to mail it? China... Duan Tianqing sneaked to the place where Duan Tianqin was filling in a list.
Duan Tianqin slapped his palms to cover the list, and said angrily: "Who let you watch it?!" ”
"What are you sending back home for?!" Duan Tianqing felt that something was wrong. It seemed that Duan Tianqin was hiding something from him.
"You want to take care of it?!" Duan Tianqin's eyes widened angrily.
"Uh, okay." Seeing that Duan Tianqin was about to get angry, Duan Tianqing immediately became intimidated.
Coming out of the mall, it's almost night. The two stuffed the entire buggy with gifts, and a portion of Isabellato's Christmas essentials they bought. Today, at Phil's request, Li Bin went to the countryside to pull a real tree to make a Christmas tree, and he is still processing it.
"Hey, Drummond? We'll be there soon, don't rush! Duan Tianqing listened to Green's strange screams on the phone.
"Bang!" Duan Tianqin closed the trunk.
"Let's go!" Duan Tianqing jumped into the car, and the car drove into the night. Christmas music is already playing on the streets, and the bells around the reindeer's necks are about to ring.
