Li Han prepared the car, put away all the little pumpkins, and returned to the living room. "Sister, are you okay? It's getting late." "Okay, look at how beautiful it is." "Haha, sister, you are all a little pumpkin.
"Li Han smiled and looked at the two minion dolls, wearing pumpkin hats, pumpkin-shaped clothes and pumpkin shoes, they really became little pumpkin people.
Li Mei smiled. "It was in yesterday's gift, I didn't expect it, it's really good." The elder sister didn't see Dudu and Baobao pouting with their little mouths as if they were old men. The two little guys were resentful and glanced at Li Han.
, I had to hold back my laughter. "Dudu and Baobao are so beautiful today." "Dad, is it true?" "Of course, Dudu and Baobao are the most beautiful." "But, the hat is so heavy.
." Dudu touched the pumpkin hat and pursed his lips.
"Dudu will be fine after wearing it for a while." Li Han smiled and rubbed the pumpkin hat. It felt good and the fabric was quite good. "Let's go, my mother called me just now, and I'm almost in town now."
"Uncle Willy just said that the town is very lively and there are many children." After Li Han said this, the two little guys' minds wandered to the small town, shouting to hurry up. Li Han and Li Mei smiled,
The little guy ran and waved to the two people. "Sister, Mom and Aunt Xu just called. The car can't come out. Let's eat in town for lunch." Zhang Xiuying went to buy vegetables early in the morning and didn't expect so many people at the Pumpkin Festival.
, who thought that the car could not get out after it was parked.
"Dad, aunt, hurry up, Dudu is already seated." Dudu and the baby climbed into the car and fastened their seat belts obediently, waiting for dad to drive. "I know, sit tight, we're going to drive." "Yeah.
"The car left the small farm, and the closer it got to the town, the more cars there were. "Dad, hurry up."
Traffic jams are rare. I didn’t expect that there would be so many people at the Pumpkin Festival this year. Economic crisis, drought, insect infestation, and rat infestation. The residents of the small town have endured a huge test. Although everything has not passed, the economic crisis is still shrouded. But the small town needs a fun and exciting party.
The festival dispels the dark clouds that have shrouded the town for many days. The Pumpkin Festival is not only a small festival in October, but also the beginning of the season, kicking off the three-month festival in the town. There are not many old ladies and grandfathers out here driving their beloved cars.
The classic car is here.
Tractors were hung with carts. There were carriages with various decorations, and many of the pumpkin carts turned out to be old-fashioned wooden carts. There were large and small pumpkins piled on the gray and white wooden boards, and the owner's wife and children were sitting in the pumpkin circles.
Dudu and Baobao were very anxious at first, urging Li Han to hurry up, but soon they were attracted by pumpkin carvings at various old horse farms outside. As they walked along, there were giant pumpkins placed on the roadside near the center of the town.
, decorated with small pumpkins and chrysanthemums, and rows of small pumpkins covering both sides of the road, arranged in various patterns. "It's so interesting." The old lady took out her camera and kept taking pictures of the roadside scenery. It was so interesting.
.
Dudu and Bao Baobao took out Polaroids and took pictures of the big pumpkins carved into various patterns. "Little man, stop a moment, what a beautiful painting, it turns out to be a dragon and a phoenix." Li Mei exclaimed in surprise,
Li Han slowed down the car slightly. "Mom, flower." Here, Li Mei had just taken a picture of a large painted pumpkin with dragons and phoenixes in auspicious shapes. The baby pointed at the giant pumpkin carved into flowers on the roadside, about 1.5 meters tall, and shouted cheeringly.
.
Along the way, various pumpkins were carved. There were many Chinese elements, which was really surprising. Li Mei exclaimed from time to time. "Little Han, what's going on?" There were all blue and white paintings in a row. Li Han smiled. "
Sister, you forgot. This Pumpkin Festival, there are many tourists from China."
Chris Manor has received more than 100 Chinese tourists this time. Don’t underestimate these more than 100 people. Maybe one person spends ten or two thousand US dollars, which is a small amount. Compared with people in small towns, they are more sensible. Especially the impact of the economic crisis
, they may be very economical. These people carve pumpkins with Chinese elements presumably to attract Chinese tourists. When Li Han explained this, Li Mei understood. "This is treating the Chinese as fat sheep."
"I can't help it. The United States is very poor now." Li Han said with a smile. It seemed that the car could not reach the central square of the town, so Li Han looked for a parking lot. "Dudu, baby, come down." "But it's not there yet.
.”
The two little guys didn't want to get out of the car, and Li Han was a little helpless. "The car can't go in, be good, get out quickly." Li Han tried his best to persuade the two stubborn little guys to get out of the car. There were too many pumpkin cars. Fortunately, Li Han
Han prepares to push the cart.
“It’s so lively.”
There were pumpkins on both sides of the road. On the road, adults and children were chatting and laughing as they headed towards the central square of the town. There was a huge procession. The children in the procession were led, carried on their backs, held in their arms, and pushed by strollers.
, no matter how big or small, all are dressed up, and they are all beautiful and radiant. Some parents also wear makeup. The most eye-catching ones are the various and strange costumes. There are little princesses, little knights, little cowboys and other characters.
There are monsters with gaping teeth and cracked mouths, skeletons, headless devils, kittens, puppies, chickens, rabbits, foxes and other animals. Most of them are dressed up as small animals, and it almost becomes an animal costume parade. There are also
They were creatively dressed as some kind of appliance with a chimney that could be opened and closed. Dudu and the baby's pumpkin costume seemed to be quite popular. My camera never stopped and I kept taking pictures, especially of cute little guys, little lolita, and little ladies.
, so cute.
"dad."
Dudu smiled and waved a little pumpkin head in his hand. When he saw it, Li Han was startled. "Hehe." "Where did it come from?" "A young lady gave it to Dudu." "Really?"
""Um."
The little grimace was painted on a small pumpkin. The pumpkin was still stuck with corn silk, and the corn stalks were dyed green. Li Han pointed along Dudu, and there were several women and teenage girls on the side of the road, holding in their hands
There are a lot of them, and there are donation boxes next to them. "Dudu, help dad donate twenty dollars to my sister." It's hard to collect donations on the roadside, especially during the economic crisis. Dudu then ran to deliver the twenty dollars from his father.
In front of Sister Du Xiaoguitou, "Sister, Pandora donates money."
"Thank you, little sister." The girl did not accept it, Dudu blinked. "Sister." "Please accept it, thank you for your hard work." Li Han smiled and said. "Thank you, sir, I wish you a good time."
of pleasure.”
When I walked into Li Han, I realized that the girls were nothing more than 11 or 12. They not only sent little ghosts off, raised funds, but also performed music, although it was not very good. "Dudu, let's go." "Sister, goodbye.
"
Dudu waved the little ghost in his hand, and Li Han pushed the pumpkin cart and followed Dudu. "Slow down." "Uh-huh." Dudu said. But he didn't slow down at all, and all kinds of things happened along the way.
Such little devils.
There are many people gathered in the central square of the town. I have to say that the promotion of Chris Manor is really good. At least 30% of the tourists are in the central square. The central square is completely decorated with pumpkins. I can’t believe it. The pumpkin boat competition has just ended. These pumpkins are
was moved to this side of the town. "Dad, baby sister and aunt are missing." Dudu took the photo and remembered that aunt and baby sister were missing. "It's okay, dad and aunt made an appointment to wait here."
This Pumpkin Festival is more lively than the previous ones. Li Han didn’t ask yesterday, otherwise he would not have thought it strange. This year’s Pumpkin Festival jointly held by three small towns, coupled with the depreciation of the US dollar and the promotion of Chris Manor, attracted tourists
Big increase.
The Pumpkin Festival is not just about pumpkins, but there are also sheds selling souvenirs. Not far from Lihan, there are stalls selling riding boots. Riding boots are almost as common as daily necessities in the western United States. They are worn by both cowboys and ordinary residents. They are made of cowhide.
Ostrich skin, crocodile skin, snake skin, etc., after embossing and coloring, the boots have high soles, thin soles, and solid heels, which not only feel good on the feet, but are also very beautiful. A pair of high-quality Western boots can be worn twice.
It will not lose its shape for thirty years, and the general price ranges from US$180 to US$500.
Li Han thought that his sister would be returning to China in a few days. The riding boots here looked good, and they would be good for her brother-in-law and father to wear in the winter. "Sir, look at these high-quality crocodile leather riding boots." "What is a crocodile?
uncle."
Dudu followed his father and lay down behind him, exposing his little head. The bearded uncle looked so scary. "What is a crocodile?" The bearded man was stunned and couldn't explain it for a long time. Li Han smiled and said, "I'm sorry, bearded man."
I don’t even know. It’s a lie. Dudu looked suspicious and glanced at the bearded uncle. The bearded uncle was very depressed. Li Han chose two pairs of boots for this little guy and said with a smile. "These two pairs are good, help me."
Keep it, I’ll come back and get it when I get back.”
The bearded man nodded and stuffed it into a corner. "Dad, Dudu also wants crocodile boots." Although Dudu didn't know what crocodile boots were, they sounded very powerful. "Okay, Dudu wants them too, for myself."
Take your pick.”
"Han." Li Mei took the baby and looked around. She saw Li Han and Dudu, father and daughter, by the boot stall. They squatted with their buttocks sticking out and were choosing boots. "Sister, the riding boots here are quite tall.
Not bad.” “Is it genuine leather?”
Li Mei was a little uncomfortable with the boots on the stall. Although the bearded man couldn't understand, the expression on Li Mei's face could still be understood. "Miss Beautiful, Heikam never lies." "Sister, here I am.
I just saw it, it’s real leather.”
Don't listen to the honesty of Americans. In fact, there are many liars. Honesty is mostly for the rich or good people. Poverty breeds evil, and the truth remains unchanged through the ages, regardless of race or country. "Really?" The old lady became interested.
stand up.
Although there are not many small stalls in Cam, there are many kinds of skins such as crocodile, cowhide, deerskin, and snake skin, and they are all handmade. "Sir, you can try it, and Cam can correct it for you for free." Li Hanyi
Stunned, he said to Li Mei with some joy. "Sister, this is a shoemaker. We can choose a good pair of riding boots. Cam can tailor the most suitable and comfortable style according to our foot shape." "Really? It's not easy to customize.
Is it the same?"
"That's right, and it's not cheap."
Not to mention Li Han, Li Mei, Dudu and the little guy each chose a pair. When Jennifer and Lingna came over, Cam was repairing Dudu's shoes. "Beautiful lady, your feet are really a gift from God.
"
The shape of Dudu's feet was completely perfect. It was the first time for Cam to see such enviable little feet. Dudu giggled. The fat and white feet formed small waves one by one. "Dudu, don't be naughty." "Han,
What are you doing?"
Lingna asked with a smile. Dudu sat on a small stool and turned around to face Lingna and Jennifer with a big smile. "Mom, Aunt Lingna, Dudu is going to buy boots. The bearded uncle is helping Dudu make boots."
Li Han stood up and explained with a smile, Jennifer and Lingna, Yile.
