American Ranch

Chapter 255 Kindergarten Donation

*Wait for another chapter!Well, Xiao Chong is talking here to give himself some motivation, lest it may be too late to be lazy later, but he will come out before 12 o'clock!Wait a minute, everyone, and I'll think about the next chapter tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning, the adults brought the little girl to the kindergarten.

This trip is not to go to school. According to the practice of previous years, today is the donation day of Augusta Kindergarten. Parents will come to donate tens of dollars or hundreds of dollars at will for the construction and maintenance of infrastructure in the campus.

Naturally, Qin Yi and the others couldn't be absent for this kind of thing, it's the same everywhere, donating some small money, not only will he be more respected, but his children will also enjoy better treatment.

When they arrived at the kindergarten, many parents had already brought their children there first, gathered in the class, or chatted or played games.

Seeing them coming, Linna apologized to the parents and greeted them with a smile.

Recently, Linna is doing very well. Working part-time on the farm has made her pocket more bulging, and she will soon be able to buy the new car she likes!
It filled her with joy.

The two parties greeted and chatted for a while, and another parent arrived, and Linna went to say hello.

Although they are familiar with Qin Yi and the others, they can't let other parents have opinions in their hearts, which is not conducive to the children's getting along.

Qin Yi led Susa and Ke Luo to chat and laugh with familiar parents. Angel had already gone to play with the children. After a while, a group of children gathered around the little girl: Becky, Jojo, Matthew, Irene .
They are all her best friends, and the parents of these children, such as Becky's mother Jenny, Matthew's father Jones, Jojo's mother Julia, etc., are also gathering around Qin Yi and the three of them, laughing and chatting with each other. good.

There are cliques everywhere, commonplace things.

In the spacious classroom, there are several tables with fruits, nuts and snacks on them. There are no rules or restrictions, and everyone can use them freely.

The adults just talked and laughed. After all, they usually have things to do and it is difficult to get together. Now they are taking advantage of the time to connect with each other.

But the children are the most free. While eating their favorite nuts or snacks, they play with toys and games, and chirp, making the whole classroom very lively and cheerful.

There are only about 20 children in a small class, and they all arrived soon. The principal, Mr. Matt, came over to chat with everyone, explaining the use of the donation last year.

These have special records, so that parents know that their donations will be used in real places.

Later, Lin Na invited some parents to come to the stage to introduce their experience in educating their children. The parents in the audience also communicated with each other.

Then we got down to business, and everyone started donating.

This is not meant to be compared. Everyone can freely choose the amount of donation according to their actual situation.

It’s not that the more donations the better, everyone is very rational, if any parent donates more than he can afford, what he will receive is not admiration, but contempt and ridicule!
Even if they are really rich, everyone will not donate a lot, a little more than most parents, which not only expresses the meaning, but also saves face for the parents, and everyone will be satisfied in their hearts.

This is the case now. Most of the parents donated one or two hundred dollars, and a small number of three or four hundred dollars. The whole classroom is harmonious.

It's just that there was an episode when Angel came here, because three people came out to donate money, Susa and Ke Luo both donated 200 US dollars, and the remaining one, of course, was Qin Yi, who donated 500 US dollars!

But everyone knew that he was a big rancher, so they had no objections and applauded in good faith.

Although it was weird for three people to come out to donate money, the scene was harmonious, and of course Angel was the happiest. The little girl was sitting on a small bench with her legs dangling leisurely, and she was pouting happily.

After the donation is over, there will be a children's performance. This is not a rehearsal in advance, but Linna guides the children to take the initiative to take the stage.

It has something to do with the education and living atmosphere that we usually come into contact with. The children participated enthusiastically, either singing or dancing solo, and some close friends would come on stage together.

Basically every child went up to perform.

It was hilarious, and the whole process lasted for nearly two hours.

When it was almost 11 o'clock, the parents took their children home, and Jones approached Qin Yi and expressed his willingness to join the Tourist Farm Alliance.

Qin Yi naturally welcomes this matter. He briefly explained some basic rules, and then asked him to contact Hobbs.

All matters in this respect were left to Hobbs.

After lunch, Susa and Keluo got busy.

The two took out the two turkeys that had been prepared earlier, stuffed them with potatoes, chestnuts, cabbage, carrots, etc., then spread butter on them, put them in the oven, and started to roast the turkeys.

That's right, it's time to start preparing for Christmas Eve dinner!
As a big dish for Americans, roast turkey is essential in important festivals!

But these two turkeys were not the two stupid turkeys with their heads stuck in the snow that they caught a few days ago, but Colo and Susa went to the supermarket to buy them together.

As for the two stupid turkeys, Angel has already sent them to the chicken coop, saying that they will be raised until next year to eat, and they have been named: Big Stupid, Little Stupid!
Naturally it is a Chinese name, the reason, in Angel's words: "They are inherently stupid, easy to remember!"

For Christmas dinner, a roast turkey is naturally not enough. The turkey is put in the oven, and the two begin to prepare table decorations, such as orange slices in the shape of yellow rings, which means good wishes, and roses, walnuts, cinnamon , and brightly colored fruits!
Qin Yi didn't understand these things, so he just watched from the sidelines, not to mention, the colors were bright and pleasing to the eye.

After the table is set, the family sits on the sofa watching Christmas movies, playing games with the little girl, and playing until the evening. When Ying Daying Er returns home, they start to make the final preparations: the whole family will make Christmas pudding together!
This is also somewhat moral, a symbol of unity and harmony.

Then some traditional American food such as polenta, fruit platter, snacks, etc., and then Susa made some braised beef, venison, ribs, and stewed an old hen. Now, the Christmas dinner with a combination of Chinese and Western is ready. !

Western dishes are made to respect tradition, and Chinese dishes are naturally because Angel likes to eat them, and the family is used to Chinese food every day.

Of course, with so many dishes, Qin Yi and the others will definitely not be able to finish them all, but there are so many small animals in the house, and they all have to celebrate the festival, so I'm afraid it's not enough, but I'm not afraid of too much!
In the evening, Qin Yi went to the worker's room to have a drink with the cowboys. As a gift, he gave everyone an extra week's salary to cheer everyone up.

Back in the main house, Ke Luo and Su Sa had already set the dining table, so the family sat down happily, and Qin Yi shared the turkey meat for everyone, and a cheerful Christmas feast began.

The colorful lights inside and outside the house were flickering, and at the dining table by the fireplace, adults, children and small animals were eating happily one by one, making them feel comfortable.

After dinner, Qin Yi took them to the lawn and called Ryan and the cowboys to come. There is still a show tonight—fireworks.

Fireworks are illegal in most parts of the United States, but they are set off in open places in private, and the general public will not be held accountable, especially on major festivals such as Independence Day and Christmas. As long as there are no accidents, no one will be held accountable.

On the grass tens of meters away, Ryan, Burke and his son were in charge of setting off the fireworks. Susa and Kolo brought Susie and Rachel, and brought benches, nuts and coffee to the cowboys, making the whole scene lively.

"chirp"

With a crisp sound, the fireworks that everyone was looking forward to had already started to go off.
