Reborn Shanshui Family

Chapter 201 Birthday Party ([-])

All the cards sent out were accepted, saying that they wanted to go, but they still had to go home and ask their parents if they were free to send them there?This is the result of the school, doing things in an orderly manner and paying attention to rules.

Li Jiabin picked a bunch of grapes at home, washed them casually with tap water, put one in his mouth, and said happily: "This grape tastes really good, our grapes are very good."

"That's natural, and it doesn't matter who puts a lot of thought into it all day long." Qin Qing said proudly, "I've figured it out. There are a lot of grapes. If some students come to the children's birthday party, I will give it to you." Fruit from our yard."

"That's what I thought too. I'm going to buy more than a dozen beautiful flower baskets." Li Jiabin said with a smile, and put a few kinds of fruits in it, which are both delicious and beautiful.

Qin Qing's eyes lit up when she heard this, and said: "There is no need to buy flower baskets at all, Yingzi can weave, and there is a kind of tough rattan not far from our house. We have already woven a lot of frames and are going to store them fruit."

"Hehe, Yingzi is really good." Li Jiabin praised, "There will be a bonus this month."

"It's true. After all, Yingzi only cooks and does housework for us. These extra tasks will be paid out in the form of bonuses. Otherwise, they will not want to pay them alone." Qin Qing was reminded by Li Jiabin , perfected the salary system, will do the calculations later, and provide the work enthusiasm of the people around me.

Yingzi was very happy when she heard that the flower baskets she wove in her free time could be used, and promised to find materials after finishing the housework, and finish them as soon as possible with quality and quantity guaranteed.

It's no wonder that Yinzi is so motivated. Her monthly salary here is [-] US dollars, and her husband's is [-] US dollars. The two add up to [-] US dollars, plus the benefits and bonuses paid during the holidays and New Years. The bonus, on average, is three thousand dollars a month.Although these wages are only the average level in the United States, they are very high wages for them.

They don’t need to spend their own money for food and lodging. Three thousand US dollars converted into RMB is nearly 1 yuan, and they can earn 12 yuan a year, which is much more than in China.

Originally, the two decided to work for a year and then have children, but now Yingzi and Wang Wu have decided not to have children for the time being, and after three or two years, when they earn enough money, they will have children again.

Yingzi moved very quickly, and after three days, twenty flower baskets were woven.According to Qin Qing's request, it is beautiful and elegant, with a larger size, and more fruits can be packed, so Yingzi made a trick, and the woven flower basket has a large gap, because there is a layer of beautiful plastic colored paper underneath.

Of the nine invitation cards sent out by Qin Bao and Qin Bei, one of them was going to the dentist and the other was going to visit his grandparents, so in the end, including Emma, ​​a total of seven people came over.

Qin Qing did the math, this is just right, no more, no less, you can greet me, and it won't be deserted.Children are actually very entertaining, but there are some taboos to be aware of, such as whether they are allergic to certain things.

Just in case, Qin Qing realized some warm reminder cards and asked Qin Bao and Qin Bei to hand them over to their parents.

Seeing the thoughtfulness of the host, the parents were full of curiosity about the Li family and filled out the card carefully.One of the children was allergic to kiwi fruit juice and one was allergic to pollen.

When Qin Qing got the feedback card, she made appropriate adjustments to strive for the perfect birthday party for the children.

Belle likes jigsaw puzzles, and Li Jiabin bought a better-looking and bigger jigsaw puzzle for her; Qin Bao became very interested in stargazing after learning about constellations at school, so he bought a high-powered telescope and installed it on the top floor. In the open-air room, he can observe the stars at any time.

When I saw that the price of this telescope was [-] US dollars, my god, this thing is too expensive.

"Children are so young, you just spoil them." Qin Qing murmured, she bought gifts for children, rarely more than one hundred dollars, such as Qin Bei's dolls, most of which she made by herself.As for Qin Bao, this kid pretends to be deep, and he likes things that are expensive and expensive. Qin Qing rarely buys them, worrying that he is young, and buying them is a waste.

Li Jiabin said indifferently: "When I was young, I heard people say that a person will become a star in the sky when he dies. I was young at that time, and knowing this allusion, I often ran to the top of the highest building in the orphanage, trying to find which The star is my mother's incarnation, how I wish I had a telescope at that time."

"I'm sorry husband, I mentioned your sadness again." Qin Qing said apologetically, not wanting to make her husband sad.

Li Jiabin said indifferently: "Hehe, I have you, I am not sad anymore. I just want to say, since the child wants it and we have the conditions to provide it, why not satisfy him? When he grows up, maybe he won't be able to become an astronomy student." home, but it’s always good to have a hobby. Do you want your child to reach adolescence, with excess energy, sneaking to bars, drinking and playing disco, and learning to smoke marijuana with others?”

Qin Qing shook her head again and again and said: "Of course I don't want to. Instead of that, it's better to cultivate his hobbies as you said. He likes stars, so let him watch them; he likes martial arts. When he grows up, I Take him to Chinatown martial arts school to learn kung fu"

"That's right, that's it." Li Jiabin nodded and smiled, "We meet his request, but he must fulfill his promise to us, just to cultivate the child's habit of self-reliance. If he can't complete it, he won't make other requests .”

Qin Qing has already started to draw inferences from one instance and draw inferences from the other. Yes, having a few good hobbies is better than those bad ones.

On Saturday, Xiaomi and the others came early because they wanted to help arrange the party scene.Yingzi is busy in the kitchen, making different pastries and snacks.As for the big dishes, the ingredients have been prepared, and Wang Wu is cutting them into different shapes according to Qin Qing's request.

As for Qin Bao and Qin Bao, they changed into new clothes early on. Bao Bao was wearing a red silk three-quarter-sleeved Tang suit, while Qin Bei was wearing a red sleeveless cheongsam with a stand-up collar, with exquisite embroidery on it, and her hair was coiled up, looking very pretty , also has the spirit.

To show her solemnity, Qin Qing wore a sapphire blue sleeveless cheongsam with a stand-up collar today, but it was plain without any nice embroidery.Li Jiabin put on a custom-made suit, and the family stood together in a classic atmosphere.

Emma came over early in the morning and brought her gifts, a set of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales for Qin Bei, and a latest car model for Qin Bao.

After 09:30, the children came one after another accompanied by their parents, some were fathers, some were mothers, and some were sent by servants.

The backyard was lined with trees, and Qin Qing placed many tables outside and covered them with white cloth.According to the preferences of foreigners, it is made in the form of a buffet.Pick whatever you like to eat.

The adults exchanged greetings, chatted about the weather, and the financial stock market.But these were greeted by Li Jiabin, and Qin Qing went to greet those little guys.

Seven children, plus Qin Bao and Qin Bei, a total of nine children.Qin Qing just prepared a small round table with some pastries and fruit juices on it.But when these children came to the backyard of the Li family, they were immediately fascinated by the scenery in front of them.

Big apples, pears, and red grapes, why do they look so delicious?Accompanied by Qin Qing, several children visited their family's orchard.

After playing for more than an hour, Qin Qing looked at the watch on her wrist. It was already [-]:[-], so she greeted the children with a smile and said, "It's lunch time, shall we go back?"

"Okay, Mom!" Qin Bao and Qin Bei knew that today was the host and the others were guests, so they had to take the lead in greeting the children.

The children came in a file. Qin Qing prepared a large basin of water outside, and everyone washed their hands. Qin Qing took the opportunity to help them dust off the dust and grass clippings with a towel.

Let them sit on a chair, and put a white square around their necks and a pad on their legs, and start distributing food to the children.

Today's meal is very rich, hot milk, large thin-skinned wontons stuffed with green vegetables and shiitake mushrooms, fried in a pan until browned, with a few eggs beaten on top, delicious.

These children can't use chopsticks, but they can use a knife and fork.Qin Bao and Qin Bei used chopsticks, picked up a fried wonton and ate it.

Delicious!Emma has been with Qin Bao and Qin Bei for three months, and has already learned to use chopsticks. She feels that knives and forks are inconvenient, so she eats with chopsticks directly.

"Alice, why don't you use a knife and fork?" The fork in Charlie's hand was just inserted into the bulging belly of the fried wonton, and he put it in his mouth. It was a bit hot, but it was bearable. Oh, it was delicious.

When he saw the vegetables inside, his eyes widened. He doesn't like to eat vegetables. He always thinks that vegetables have a strange taste, but today he just thinks that the vegetables wrapped in dough are very delicious, and the fried eggs on top are also good. .

"Because I'm Chinese, we all use chopsticks. I only learned to use a knife and fork when I came to the United States." Qin Bei explained, "This fried wonton is very delicious. It tastes great when paired with the apple juice squeezed by my mother. .”

Charlie nodded again and again, and said in agreement: "It's delicious, I like to eat this thing!"

Seeing that Charlie could eat with a fork, the others followed suit and ate with smiles, a ravioli, a sip of apple juice, some like grape juice and pear juice.

The adults ate at the buffet. Although they didn't know what kind of food was cooked in the pot, the smell of the delicious food already made people salivate, and they all chose the food they were interested in.

After lunch, the adults chose to play cards and the children took a nap, but today they were so happy that they were not sleepy at all. They went to the backyard to feed the chickens and ducks, and by the way weed under the fruit trees to feed the rabbits.

Yes, there are four more little rabbits in the house. This is because Xiaomi saw someone selling them, so he bought four and put them in a shoe box.
