Food is hard to find in the winter, and the pigeons who like to stay in the snowy mountain pastures are forced to fly south.

This is an instinct that remains in the genes of the passenger pigeons, and most of them fly to the south, but there is still a small group left, and in the evening when the snow stops, they come out to feed, because Han Xuan's conspicuous tarpaulin spread on the snow successfully attracts the attention of this small group of passenger pigeons.

Patiently waiting for them to enter the rattan basket, Han Xuan immediately pulled the yarn in his hand, and after the wooden stick supporting the rattan basket fell, seven or eight passenger pigeons were covered underneath, flapping their wings to escape, and their companions spread their wings and flew away.

In this winter when there is a lack of food, as long as there are animals to eat, it is easy to catch, and the ingredients for the night are available, but Han Xuan did not take them away.

Today just to have a good time, if it weren't for the cowboys feeding these passenger pigeons, most of the pigeons that did not leave would definitely die, life was already very difficult, looking at the panicked thin pigeons, he was embarrassed to do anything to them......

This year's Christmas Eve dinner has been prepared, and when Han Xuan and his father went home, they found that the pine trees at the door were wrapped with dense small lamps, and there were elk with lights on at the door.

It was embarrassing that there was mistletoe hanging on the door, and when Han Xuan knocked on the door, he found that it was Isabelle who helped open the door, according to the custom of Augusta Town, today no matter what relationship between men and women of the opposite sex, they must kiss when they stand under the wreath woven by this plant.

Mistletoe is known in the West as the "golden bough of life", but in Norse mythology it has become a symbol of death: Bird, the god of peace, son of Odin and Friga, the god of love, was killed by Loki, the god of evil, with a dart made of mistletoe.

Friggia's tears of grief dissolved the evil of mistletoe and saved her son, so she promised that whoever stood under mistletoe would give him a kiss.

Over time, this myth evolved into a Western Christmas tradition: if a woman occasionally passed by or stood where the mistletoe was hanging, a man next to her would walk up and kiss her.

Originally, he and Isabelli were just simple friends, but after Isabelli made that very embarrassing request, the relationship between the two began to sour, or rather, it only changed in Han Xuan's heart.

Isabelle's emotional intelligence is not high, and she is quite calm about it, not even knowing that her request embarrassed Han Xuan.

And Anya, she doesn't care about this, this matter can't be regarded as "cheating" in her mind, maybe it's because she's too young, or maybe it's because American society is too open-minded, she thinks it's just helping.

Han Xuan pretended not to know, and walked directly into the warm room, and as soon as he entered the door, he smelled the aroma of food, and when he saw the fat cat who was roasting by the fireplace and had dirty hair to knots, he understood that the bath was in vain.

Christmas, in the old West, was originally used to commemorate the birth of Jesus, symbolizing new beginnings, everything is so pure, with a warm and romantic atmosphere.

In the eyes of the members of the Han family, who still have a strong oriental concept, Christmas is inseparable from Christmas trees, Santa Claus, and Christmas gifts, and even Chinatowns around the country have long accepted Christmas and treated it as a grand festival second only to the Spring Festival.

Chinese people in the United States actually prefer Christmas, not because of the festival itself, but because there is no holiday during the Spring Festival, but they can get a long holiday and generous bonuses at Christmas, which is determined by the social environment.

After changing his clothes and resting, the Christmas Eve banquet began, in addition to Isabelle, the guest, Han Xuan's childhood hair Balzer was also there, his appearance was almost the same as that of an adult, and he deliberately pretended to be mature and had a mustache.

There is also a dark-skinned little guy, he is a little wild man from the Amazon rainforest, Puprotuo, I haven't seen this little guy for a long time, he has grown a lot taller, and his hairstyle has changed.

Wearing ordinary clothes, he sat there without saying a word, originally he had a lot of words, and he had a deeper understanding of modern society and more people and things, but he was no longer willing to talk more.

Han Xuan didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to bring him back, he might have had a poor material life when he was in the Amazon rainforest, but Puprotao was very happy at that time, and now he doesn't know if he is happy or not, but it doesn't seem to be going well.

His grandfather helped arrange the future of Puproto, but it was not necessarily suitable for this little guy, the child is like a blank piece of paper, what color the elders apply to them, what kind of person they will become when they grow up, so every decision the elders make for the child is important.

It was Han Xuan who brought Puprotuo out of the closed rainforest, and he felt that he had an obligation to take charge of this little guy's life, and he had promised Proproda's grandfather that he would help take care of him.

At this moment, he helped cut the steak on the plate, exchanged plates with Puproto, who was sitting next to him, and asked him, "How is your school life lately?" ”

“…… It's boring and I hate going to school. Puproda replied in English with a thick accent, which sounded a little strange.

It is strange that aborigines, who are accustomed to freedom, can like monotonous school life, Han Xuan was not surprised, and replied with a smile: "But you can only study at your current age, and books can enrich your knowledge."

The school is very useful for you, you didn't know English before, but now you have learned it, which allows you to communicate with others smoothly.

I believe that because of school, you also know a lot of things that you didn't know before, and you don't need to learn specific chemistry and physics, but you should know what kind of world you live in.

Later, you can walk around, but if you stay in the rainforest, you may only be able to live in a small area, and the furthest you have ever been is in a nearby town.

Your grandfather was worried that this would happen, so he asked you to come out and have a look. ”

After finishing speaking, he ate a bite of steak, the taste was exceptionally tender, Han Xuan smiled and continued, "What do you think?

When you're done in high school, I can take you around the world and then decide your own life.

My father said you want to go home, and I think it's better to wait until you're an adult to think about it, and then you can do whatever you want. ”

Pupro often heard Han Xuan's name, and the closest person in the modern world was also Han Xuan, so after thinking about it for a while, he nodded and said, "I listen to you, but I want to go back and see my grandfather." ”

"Today is Christmas, I promise you, next time you can go back with someone from my company, it will be my Christmas gift to you."

Han Xuan said in a casual tone, before eating, his father said that Puprotuo always wanted to go home, and because he had lost his temper, he took the opportunity to enlighten him.

A young child has been away from his family for a long time, it is indeed not suitable, it is good to go back and see it often, with the continuous mining of gold from the rainforest, Puprotao already has a wealth in his name that ordinary people can't earn in a lifetime, about six million dollars, the quality of that diamond mine is very high, and it often mines large diamonds of more than ten carats, helping Han Xuan make a lot of money.

Nowadays, in addition to diamonds, there is also a product called "moissanite" on the market, which mainly refers to man-made diamonds, and a small number of them appear in craters, but there is not much difference in appearance, and even the instrument can not distinguish it, but if you look closely, you will find that the fire of Moissanite is stronger than that of diamonds.

In the test under professional instruments, the fire of Moissanite is 2.5 times that of diamond, in terms of dispersion value, diamond is 0.044, Moissanite is 0.104, in terms of refraction, diamond is 2.417, Moissanite is 2.65, Moissanite dispersion value and refraction are more than diamond, that is to say, Moissanite color is more brilliant and colorful.

On the Mohs scale, diamond is 10 and moissanite is 9.25, which is much higher than other gemstones, which means that if diamond and moissanite collide, moissanite will be damaged, and diamonds will not be much better, almost "kill 1,000 enemies and hurt 800 yourself".

It is the most perfect alternative to diamonds, a five-carat moissanite, the value is only a few tenths of the diamond, fortunately people pursue diamonds, under the subtle influence of many business speculation, think that diamonds and love are linked, and then the price continues to speculate to a high level, otherwise these diamond merchants and jewelry sales companies represented by Han Xuan will not make so much money from it.

Han Xuan has always believed that using diamonds to represent love, and closely linking diamond rings to marriage is one of the most outstanding marketing strategies in human history, and the side has also verified the phrase "women's money is the best to earn", if you can use a certain product to attract the attention of women, and then let men pay obediently through them, then a company almost does not have to worry about making money.

He is doing the same now, Act diet pills, Sheln cosmetics, the market value of these two industries is greater than diamonds, some time ago Alexander, that is, the cowboy who gave him a deer leg, asked Han Xuan to help buy a diamond of about three carats, and he suggested that Alexander said that it was better to keep the money and go out for a honeymoon.

People who do their own diamond business generally do not recommend that people around them buy diamonds, because they are too unpretended, and aside from the value that people impose on diamonds, man-made diamonds, which are also known as moissanite, can actually be produced in a steady stream, leaving aside processing and research and development, labor costs, raw materials are not valuable.

Compared with Puproto, Balzer, who got a new life after coming out of prison, made Han Xuan feel much more at ease, and he was telling Mr. Han about his fishing intentions in Seattle, and said: "Now I am saving money, and I plan to wait until next year or the year after next to contract a fishing ground in the northeast of Canada to raise fish."

Agriculture Canada and Marine Fisheries Canada have recently secured the future of Canada's wild fisheries by implementing conservation and management measures aimed at sustainable development and orderly fishing.

They gave me a great tax break, and I plan to raise salmon-based seafood and sell it through my own channels, which should be very ......marketable."
