Chapter 44: Black Friday
After playing the roller coaster safely, under Ye Wei's suggestion, he and Anna's family came to the fantasy kingdom.
Ye Wei originally intended to meet up with his family, and then continue to accompany Anna's family to play, but he didn't expect that after the two families got acquainted, everyone was very close to each other!
After David and Janet met Ye Haogen, Gu Qiao and the lovely Duoduo, the last trace of doubt in their hearts suddenly disappeared, and after learning that Ye Haogen was a doctor, they added even more respect, this is a high-culture, high-literacy upper-class middle-class family, just like them.
Ye Haogen also admires David's profession as an architect, and Gu Qiao and Janet are both full-time housewives and mothers dedicated to their children, and they also have endless topics.
Not to mention, both families are fond of movies, performances and other cultural and entertainment fields, and the Ye family also made a movie......
And Duoduo likes Anna, and Anna also likes Duoduo, and the two girls, one big and one young, quickly became new friends and good friends.
learned that until Christmas, Anna and Janet would be busy auditioning in Los Angeles, and Duoduo kept inviting her to play at home, and Gu Qiao was also enthusiastic. Anna's family naturally accepted the invitation and came to Ye's house as a guest this Saturday.
If you have fun, you'll be family friends, and you'll have a second or third time to play together. There are three types of family friends: mainly men, or women and children. And they, all three are right, very compatible.
Ye Wei watched his father and David laugh and talk, his mother and Janet's parents were short, Duoduo and Anna were tired of holding balloons, and the ...... of Toto and Bella imaginable? !
He was really stunned, he became an outsider, stupid, stupid, it should have been like this a long time ago, it turned out that the most convincing thing was his family!
It turns out that "The Wedding Date is Coming" is also a good signboard! Although it failed at the box office, it was really released, with a production fee of 2oo yuan! For Willis and other big names, this is bullshit, but for ordinary people who love movies......
I am the son of the owner of the film company! Ye Wei shouted in his heart, this identity will still be very useful.
Next, the two families traveled together, watched the Disney character float parade, played a few attractions, and in the evening, they went to the Tomorrowland Terrace to enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner, and also watched a beautiful fireworks show, and confirmed the Saturday guests, and then said goodbye, and everyone had a good time.
In Ye Wei's opinion, Anna's appearance in "Dance of Angels" is 99% of the thing, even if the student short film is not filmed well, it will not have a bad impact, and the "performance experience" that is not written into the resume can really increase the performance experience, why should the agent stop it.
On the way home, Duoduo had fallen asleep soundly, and when she returned, she would be left to Mrs. Langdon, a neighbor and friend, to help take care of her for the night.
Ye Wei, Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao, on the other hand, headed to Costco in Mary Del Rey's Bay for Black Friday, and were perhaps the only Brentwood residents among the participants.
"Black Friday" is the Friday after Thanksgiving, on this day, the major merchants in the United States have greatly discounted, Amazon, Walmart, Costco, Kroger, etc., a few weeks in advance, began to build momentum, the price of many goods on the day is even as low as one discount, two folds, three folds are countless.
Therefore, ordinary people, especially the poor, will not miss the opportunity to grab everything, from daily necessities to expensive electrical appliances that they usually can't afford...... A shopping frenzy!
In recent years, the competition among merchants has become more and more fierce, you open at 6 o'clock in the morning, I open at 4 o'clock, you 4 o'clock, then I 2 o'clock, o o'clock...... Thursday night!
But Costco is a defender of tradition, preferring to miss the peak and open at 6 a.m. because it never worries about customers.
"Oh my ......!"
It was close to midnight, when the three of them came to the parking lot next to Costco, it took a long time to find a place to park the car, and when they walked to the gate, they saw that there were crowds of people from a distance, not a thousand people, but nine hundred, which made them think that they had come early to lose their minds.
Some even set up tents for the night, and many more stood in the cold wind of the night, chatting, playing with their phones, dozing, and waiting......
"It's too late to leave. Ye Wei looked at his parents, because of the experience in the dream, he knew the meaning of "black" the most here, and he really didn't want his parents to step into that battlefield.
"Don't talk stupid, let's assign the target ......" Gu Qiao looked at the shopping list and coupons in his hand, there were all kinds of things on the list, toothpaste, shower gel, dog food, children's winter clothes, Christmas gifts......
The deeper the night, the more people arrived, and the parking lot was soon full, with thousands of people crowded outside the closed gates, and the queue was long gone.
......
London, United Kingdom.
Because of the time difference, it was 2 o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles, but it was 1o o'clock in the morning in London, there was no show atmosphere here, and after Lily arrived yesterday, she went out with her father's family to play, and came to play golf at the Duke Lawn Golf Course in her hometown of Chiswick early this morning.
The blue sky and white clouds, the green grass and trees in the eyes, and a small lake in the distance, such an environment is naturally intoxicating, but Lily is a little absent-minded.
She was dressed in a sturdy white sportswear, holding a golf club in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, Ye Wei's latest text message in the early morning: "I found the actress of the short film! Her name is Anna Sophia Robb, great!" Because it was inconvenient to talk back and forth a lot, although she was very curious and happy, she only replied with a smile.
But now, she wanted to talk to him...... It's just that it's early in the morning, and he should go to sleep.
"Lily?" Phil Collins, who was walking ahead, shouted back to his Asian wife, Orian Sevie, and youngest son, Nicholas, as did his daughter, who was not following him.
"It's coming. Lily put away her phone and walked up quickly, smiling.
She followed behind, watching the family talk and laugh, watching her father teasing Nicholas from time to time, haha laughing so happily...... She couldn't interject, and she didn't want to speak, she waved her club casually, and followed in a daze, and after walking for a long time, she suddenly heard her father's concerned voice: "Lily?"
Phil Collins wrinkled his old face, followed his daughter's steps, and asked, "Why don't you have any energy, and you are still jet lag?" Or are you not feeling well, I heard your mother say that you had a bad cold before?"
"It's okay, I'm fine......" The words of concern made Lily's heart clogged, that severe cold was more than a month ago, what do you ask now...... She hid her affection and was still smiling: "Just thinking about something." ”
"Oh. Phil Collins nodded, and asked with concern, "Is it too hard to live in school?" He has always disliked his daughter's Harvard-Westlake education, which is too strict, and he wants her to go to an art school with a tradition of musical training.
"No, I'm having a good time at school. Lily's smile this time was a little more sincere, her life has changed a lot recently, of course because of VIy......
"That's good. Phil Collins looked at his daughter, he wanted her to be happy, but he couldn't think of any ideas, and suddenly thought of the student atmosphere of Harvard-Westlake, and smiled: "When you are 16 years old, Dad will give you a sports car, you have the final say on what brand, rock and roll!"
"It's still a long time. Lily smiled, not the slightest bit excited, is it the traditional practice of Harvard-Westlake parents to give sports cars to their children, thinking that they will be happy......
"Daddy, Daddy!" At this time, Nicholas shouted from the front, "Come on, come and see!"
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" said Phil Collinston, his old face full of smiles.
Lily swung her club a few more times, frowned slightly, and followed slowly, the more she missed the American side, the more she missed that person......
......
Meanwhile, in Las Vegas, Lev and Bud are frantically pressing slot machines in the Caesars Palace Casino, screaming at the results, in Salt Lake City, where Corwin is asleep, and in Sacramento, Chen Nuo and a group of cousins are singing karaoke.
In Hawaii, Trister and her family are attending a bonfire, in San Diego, Conte is enjoying the night view on a luxury cruise ship, and in New York, Li Ming is waiting in line outside a nightclub, peeking at scantily clad babes and swallowing......
Paris, on the Champs-Élysées, Willis and his three daughters are shopping, shuttling through the flagship stores of luxury brands, one moment Louis Vuitton, the other Valentino......
"Valentino?" When he was about to enter the store, Laroux stopped Laru and said disdainfully: "Can you be a little more low-level? Prada provoked you?" LaRue retorted: "Then Valentino provoked you?" Belle said angrily: "Buy both brands of bags, okay?"
"Smart, this is my daughter!" Willis grinned in his nasolabial folds, and Ramo and LaRue shrugged their shoulders nonchalantly, "That's all bought." ”
......
In Los Angeles, the time is getting closer to 6 a.m., the sky has a little pre-dawn light, in front of the Costco gate, everyone is ready, all the tents are empty, everyone is piled up in front of the door, there are only 5 minutes left......
"Open the door!", "Open the door!" The crowd was not so quiet, and the excited shouts gradually increased, and some middle-aged women of various ethnicities with spherical bodies looked at the rows of shelves through the glass door, like the fat woman "Holy Maiden" in "Pink Flamingo", and her family members who were proud of their dirtiness.
Suddenly, someone began to storm the gate of Costco, and the city employees behind the door shouted with a loudspeaker: "Everyone pay attention to safety and maintain order!"
No one wants to give it away for free! People's fanaticism only rises but does not fall, and more and more people are banging on the door.
Why is it called Black Friday? It's tiring for employees, and it's tiring for customers? Every year, there are fights, beatings, and even tramplings across the United States, resulting in injuries.
Only cheap, no security!!!!......!
There were only 3 minutes left, and Ye Wei and the three of them resisted the impact of the crowd behind them, like a big tree taking root, firmly occupying a position about five meters away from the door.
Suddenly, before the time was reached, the glass gates of the city opened!!
"Ahh
Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao were inexperienced after all, and they were stunned at this critical moment......
"Get out!!" But Ye Wei is different, his eyes are full of murderous aura, his parents came here and stood all night, how can he do it if he doesn't grab something!!! He doesn't care about anything, he rushes forward with all his strength, this time he is playing American football, and he will score a touchdown when he rushes in!
The employees behind the gate hurriedly flashed to the side, all of them were old rivers and lakes, and they were not intimidated by the mad cows surging in.
The goods near the door were some daily necessities, but they were still the objects of robbery, and the "saints" pounced on them, almost taking everything in their arms, anyway, they could return it, and they would grab everything and talk about it!
"Mine, it's mine!", "Give it to me!!", "Fuck you horse bitch!"......
Angry shouts and curses resounded throughout the city, and there were absolutely no children to be found here, but poor people of all races and colors could see that although they were poor, they had the power of a cow, pushing, fighting, fighting, beating and scolding......
Among them, there is a young figure, Ye Wei! He also grabbed red eyes, and grabbed a lot of goods that he didn't know what they were, shopping carts, damn shopping carts!?
"Dad, Mom, where's the shopping cart!?" he looked back, but he didn't see his parents, only a steady stream of people rushing in.
He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and he also came to his senses, and hurried back to look around as he walked, and suddenly saw his mother sitting a few steps through the door......
"Mom!" he exclaimed, throwing away what he was holding, and rushed over, "Mom, how are you, are you alright?!"
Gu Qiao was knocked down by the people who rushed up from behind in the process of charging before, his hands were trampled on a few times, and his arms and palms were in great pain. Ye Haogen helped her up beside him, his face was flushed, and his eyes were full of self-blame......
"What about those things!?" Gu Qiao was nervous about another thing, and just now he saw that Wei grabbed a lot, "Those shower gels ......"
"it! it! it!" Looking at the wolf bèi's parents and the crowd that was still surging around him, Ye Wei gritted his teeth, suddenly burst into a fire in his heart, and shouted with all his might: "it Black Friday! its Costco, Funetbsp; Just for the discounted shower gel, in order to save that little bit of money...... its Kevin Thomas, its "Wedding is Coming", it!
Looking at their son, Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao frowned tightly, their hearts were full of powerlessness and guilt, all they could do was let out a long sigh.
"Whew, whew...... Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, I'm fine, let's go, see if there's any toothpaste left......"
