Chapter 341: Christmas Parade (1st Shift)
On December 23, the group of alliances set off from Langshan at 9 a.m., passed through the town, refueled the car, had lunch, continued to drive for two hours, and finally arrived at Ottawa, the capital of Canada, at one o'clock in the afternoon, and stayed at the Fairmont Hotel near the city center.
The hotel is a castle-like hotel, with a light grey spire filled with the Canadian maple leaf flag, fluttering in the wind.
The hotel is close to the Otta River, looking out the window, you can see the snow-white glacier, the towering clock tower, and it is also a good place to enjoy the scenery.
Nan Sichen booked himself a suite as usual, but this time, it was not the kind of design with a living room and a kitchen, but a cloakroom and a small study separated by dark blue velvet curtains, which was quite elegant.
The large bed and cabinets in the room are all in a gorgeous style with dark coffee background and gold edges, but they are very modern.
Putting down the luggage, Nan Sichen took the coffee pot and made himself a cup of coffee, and brought it into the quiet and claustrophobic small study.
To the south of the room, there is a whole wall of floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and on the west side is a large desk with a large screen computer on it.
Nan Sichen took a sip of coffee in a soothing manner, then put down the cup, turned on the computer, and connected it to the mobile phone.
Then, his slender fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, giving two instructions in the alliance group:
[At half past two, everyone gathered in the hotel lobby. 】
[Today's itinerary, go to the City Hall Square and watch the Christmas parade that starts at three o'clock. 】
Everyone: [Roger, leader!] 】
"Wow, there's a Christmas parade today!" In the room, as soon as Tian Lulu saw the new news, she couldn't help but have her eyes shining.
Lan Nianyun pursed her lips and smiled, she knew Nan Sichen, and she would do her homework in advance wherever she went.
For today's trip, he must have inquired about some large-scale Christmas events in Ottawa before the trip departed, and had already made arrangements.
Turn your head out the window and you can see the city hall, the landmark of Ottawa City.
In the nearby streets, beautiful Christmas trees are placed along the street, and colorful Christmas balls are hung everywhere, rendering a lively festive atmosphere.
The two girls were in a happy mood and smiling brightly, like two happy birds, and after packing their luggage, they took the elevator down to the ground floor lobby to meet the others.
Along the way, everyone talked and laughed, walked along the Otta River, then crossed the King's Bridge, and walked for fifteen minutes to the open square in front of the town hall.
At this time, many people had gathered in the square.
Nan Sichen took Lan Nianyun by the hand, covered her cold little hands warmly, put them in the pocket of her coat, and led her into the crowd, standing in a row with the rest of the alliance group.
The bodyguards stood behind them, closely watching the movements around them, and saw the crowd in the square, many wearing Santa hats, smearing bright oil paint on their faces, and talking happily in French, and children laughing and laughing, looking forward to the arrival of the procession.
Three o'clock, "When, when, when-"
In the distance in the bell tower, the melodious bell rang, and people began to cheer, wave after wave, one after another.
Suddenly, a crisp and loud sound of music reached everyone's ears.
Tian Lulu stood next to Lan Nianyun, hooked her elbows, and shouted excitedly, "Cindy, Cindy, the Christmas parade has begun!" ”
Lan Nianyun followed her gaze and saw a team wearing top hats and straight red uniforms, walking along the avenue in front of the square with neat steps, there were flutes, trumpets, trumpets, drums, and all kinds of musical instruments.
Lan Nianyun looked sideways and said to Nan Sichen with a smile: "Lawrence, this team is the honor guard of the Christmas parade, it is quite imposing as soon as it appears!" ”
Nan Sichen smiled softly, lowered her eyes to look at her, and saw that the girl was so excited that her little face was flushed, and she was very cute.
He ran his fingers through the slit of her hand, pinched the back of her hand, and said softly: "Baby, this is just the beginning, the wonderful is in the back, the tour cars will be one after another, endlessly!" ”
When the words fell, I saw that the honor guard was followed by a huge inflatable Mickey Mouse, swaying from side to side with a smile, one hand still swinging.
The children in the crowd burst into laughter, raised their arms, and waved to Mickey Mouse, "Hello, Mickey, Merry Christmas!" ”
In the midst of laughter, the atmosphere gradually rose.
Jolene and Lisa stood together, this was the first time they had seen such a grand parade since they arrived in Canada, after seeing the inflatable Mickey Mouse walk by, it was a red boat-shaped car, on the bow of the boat sat a man and a woman wearing Christmas courtesy dolls, a circle of green balloons were inserted along the side of the car, and a huge red sock was erected in the center of the balloon, which was full of dazzling colors and Christmas gifts.
Lisa's eyes widened and she exclaimed, "Wow, this sock is so big, it must contain a lot of Santa Claus gifts!" ”
As he was talking, a crisp bell sounded, and suddenly, the mouth of the sock was like a fountain, spilling out a lot of candy crutches!
Many parents stretched out their hands to catch the lucky candy sent by the Christmas stockings, and when they received it, they gave it to their children, and the children also "giggled" and laughed.
Since then, one after another, the unique parade cars have passed in front of everyone.
There are reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh; There are clowns in maple leaf suits, wigs and colorful stripes; There are girls wearing pink flowers and beating gongs and drums; There are also actors dressed in green Christmas tree costumes; The most interesting team is the team rich in Chinese folk customs, everyone in the team wears a hood of a big-headed doll and holds a long golden dragon in their hands.
For a time, the whole long street, car after car, people with people, dizzying.
In this celebratory atmosphere, a different kind of tour car slowly approached.
Before the tour car reached the front of the alliance group, Jill was the first to see it clearly, and couldn't help but admire, "Wow, this tour car is so special, there are a pair of knights and princesses on it!" ”
As soon as they heard the sensitive words "knight" and "princess", Nan Sichen and Nan Haoyu's faces suddenly changed, and they followed Jile's gaze.
Next to Nan Sichen, Lan Nianyun's eyes also widened, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "Lawrence, look at the shape of that traveling car!" ”
