Hong Tao followed the local customs and prepared several gifts. For Zhou Xiaoli, he gave a set of Chinese dining table tools, including 2 chopping boards of different sizes and a set of 3 rolling pins; for Mrs. Bulcock, he gave a Chinese style
Double-breasted cotton tops were originally made for
Zhou Xiaoli bought it, but the size was a lot too big. Zhou Xiaoli wore it like a coat, but it fit Mrs. Bulcock just right. What Old Gale got was a piece of cloud brought by Hong Tao from China; the two children each got one.
Woolen hat and gloves.
These things were all bought at Pacific Place. Only the cloud smoke was bought by Hong Tao from the Japanese airport. He has never been willing to smoke it. If Old Gale hadn't promised to take him to target shooting, he would definitely not have given it away. Isn't it because of this?
How expensive are cigarettes? But you can’t buy foreign cigarettes in Canada at all. The cigarettes here are all made in Canada. The taste is too bland and the price is very expensive. The most common ones cost about 6 Canadian dollars a box. It’s too deceiving.
.
Correspondingly, Hong Tao also received a lot of gifts, including a Seiko waterproof watch from Zhou Xiaoli and a deerskin wallet from Mrs. Bulcock. Among them, Old Gale's gift was the most satisfying, which was a hunting belt with very thick leather.
Not only does it have a place for inserting bullets, but it also comes with a sheathed knife, which is no longer than a hand and is extremely sharp.
"This was made by Joe from the leather of the first horned deer he hunted back then. This knife is also handmade. They have been kept in the storage room for these years. Every year I take them out, oil them, and maintain them.
Now they belong to you. You not only brought happiness to Joan and Bloom, but also
It makes me feel like I have returned to the past, thank you and Miss Yoko." Old Gale was still holding his big pipe, but his tone and expression were not so heavy. It was obvious that this old man had figured out something and abandoned it.
Something, something he wanted to pursue.
"Soldier, you should be ready!" Early the next morning, when Hong Tao came to Old Gale's house at the agreed time, the old man was sitting in an unusually tall Chevrolet pickup truck. When he saw Hong Tao
, raised his wrist and looked at his watch to make sure that Hong Tao was not late, then bared his teeth and smiled.
"Mr. Captain, you are very handsome today, especially with this hat. You are so energetic." Hong Tao is really not a flatterer. Today, Old Gale is no longer the old man at home wearing a plaid shirt and jeans. He wears a full
Wearing earthy gray clothes and a pair of high-waisted combat boots, he looks very much like a military uniform. Moreover, his cowboy hat is knotted with a leather strip, and with a big beard, he looks like a tough guy in the movie.
.
"I look more handsome in a navy uniform. It's a pity that you came a little late. During Thanksgiving, we veterans will have a big parade, and I usually walk in the first row." The old man was not modest at all, and pushed himself hard.
Put gold on your face.
"Okay, let's go!" Old Gale seemed to be using the car as a warship, and gave an order before starting it.
After the car left the residential area, it took the same highway as it did to the city of Doludo, but in the opposite direction. It should be traveling north. The highway today was a bit normal, and cars could be seen from time to time.
, there were mostly several people sitting inside, probably locals taking their whole family out to play, but Hong Tao was wondering, what can be done on this snowy day?
"Mr. Captain, what do the young people here do in winter?" Hong Tao saw that Old Gale didn't seem to understand what he meant, so he added: "What do they play?"
"Oh, there are so many things to play, such as hunting, skiing, skating, fishing, traveling, and basketball, but the most popular one is ice hockey. Do you know about ice hockey?" Old Gale talked about a lot of winter sports.
"I know a little bit about skating, but I have never played ice hockey." Hong Tao dared to say that his skating was pretty good in China. After seeing Zhou Xiaoli's skating skills, he only dared to say that he could skate. When he came to Lao Gaier, he automatically downgraded his skills.
Level one.
"What a pity. Hockey is a men's sport. Basketball is too soft in comparison. There is a Maple Leafs game the day after tomorrow. I want to take the children to the arena to watch the game. How about I find a way to have sex with you and Yoko?
Get a ticket, do you want to go and see it?" Old Gale seemed very proud of the ticket.
"Of course it would be good if it's not too much trouble." Hong Tao didn't think too much.
"We're here, wait a minute." After driving for a while, Old Gale drove off the highway, walked for 2 kilometers along a road completely submerged in the woods, turned into a fork in the road, and stopped at a
In front of the barbed wire gate.
"This is private land?" Hong Tao didn't understand anything else, but he could clearly see the sign hanging on the barbed wire fence. It was as big as a tabletop, and there was a picture of a pistol firing under the text.
, very intimidating.
"This is a private club for retired military personnel. It is not open to the public." Old Gale said as he stepped on the accelerator again. The barbed wire gate opened automatically, and after their car entered, it closed automatically.
There were still woods inside the gate, but after turning a big bend, Hong Tao was no longer calm, because he heard the sound of gunshots, some were short and crisp, and some were dull and continuous. This sound was like a woman's moan, and he could immediately hear it.
The man's blood burned.
After turning another corner, the view suddenly opened up. There were many people standing under a row of simple sheds. There seemed to be a football field on both sides of the shed. There were many square haystacks piled randomly on the field on the left.
"Hey...Captain Gale, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are finally willing to get out of your volute. Who is this young man? Is he Joan's boyfriend?" The car just stopped, and the two people
He opened the car doors on both sides. On Hong Tao's side was a fat man with a thicker beard than Old Gale. He stared at Hong Tao looking up and down.
"Don't harass him, first mate. He knows Chinese Kung Fu and has a bad temper like me. Watch your chin." Old Gale hugged a tall, thin old man on his side, and then turned back to this side.
shouted.
"Chinese? I don't like Chinese, but I like their food. Welcome, Chinese boy. My name is Pavlovich. Just call me Pavi." The fat old man stretched out his fat hand and said
Hong Tao shook it and pulled Hong Tao off the car seat.
"Hello Pawei, my surname is Hong, Hong Tao." Although the fat old man was very rude, Hong Tao didn't dare to say anything. The guy was at least 1.9 meters tall and weighed more than 200 pounds, and he really didn't know Chinese Kung Fu.
"Let's go, you are the captain's guest. I'm curious, how did you get the captain out of his little room?" The fat old man put his arm on Hong Tao's shoulders like a child, and followed the old Gale and the old man in front of him.
The tall and thin man walked towards the shed.
Old Gale is obviously a regular customer here. Most people know him, and it seems that his status is quite high. A few people even saluted him with a military salute. On the contrary, people here are not very enthusiastic about Hong Tao, a new face.
Some people pretended not to see it, while a few people stared at Hong Tao. Since they all held at least one pistol in their hands, Hong Tao did not dare to look back at him. Fortunately, there was a fat old man supporting him. If Hong Tao was alone, he would probably
My legs were shaking.
"Hong, this is Pixar. He is a damn soldier, but his marksmanship is very good. He is also the owner of this place. He has promised to let you train here. The fat guy next to you is my first mate. His marksmanship is very good.
It sucks, but the fishing is very good. If you have time, you can teach him a lesson on the water to prevent him from bragging to us all the time. You should bring the photos so that he can be honest all day long." Seeing Hong Tao being a little nervous, Old Gale
First, I introduced the boss here to Hong Tao.
"This is Hong, now my neighbor. He is very good at fishing. It's a pity that I didn't bring a photo to show you. He is the champion of fishing competitions between China and Japan. He is a good boy. It's a pity that he can't shoot. You know the reason. This
You can't blame him, but if you are my neighbor and you don't know how to shoot, then we have a big responsibility, what do you think?" Old Gale said as he opened the long iron rod he lifted from the pickup truck.
