A friend passed by today and was exhausted from a crazy day outside.
Just one chapter, and I’ll make up for it with four chapters tomorrow.
In the United States, there is no full-moon ceremony for a newborn baby, only a birth ceremony.
Even the birth ceremony is usually scheduled one or two months before the expected date of birth, and the celebration is in the form of a warm baby shower.
Before, Sousa and Rachel, as expectant mothers, also had such a party.
As usual, the two expectant mothers at that time listed a one-page wish list, which included diapers, small toys, small clothes and other baby supplies, ranging from a few dollars to hundreds or thousands of dollars.
Friends can make a wish list based on the depth of their friendship. , free choice as a gift.
Generally speaking, the baby's grandmother will choose the most expensive wish, such as a good stroller, which costs hundreds or thousands of dollars.
It is the best gift for grandmothers.
This means that the baby shower held in advance by the United States is actually the domestic full-moon wine, and baby supplies have been given before, so the same thing cannot be given to the full-moon wine held this time.
These old American friends will definitely be blinded by the Chinese full-moon wine and so on.
They don’t know what gifts to give and what customs and habits they have.
So in order to avoid this situation, when the invitation letter was sent out before, it also came with some explanations.
As all the good Americans know, this so-called full moon wine is actually a birth gift, designed to be relaxed and festive.
So as you can see now, the friends gathered in the ranch are all dressed casually at home.
On the more dressy side, wear casual golf attire.
If you want to be more casual, just wear short sleeves, big pants and sandals.
There are not too many of the former, and even less of the latter.
Most of them are still dressed in jeans and a shirt, with a pair of red-brown leather shoes on their feet, which looks a bit like a cowboy on vacation.
Men are casual and women dress more casually, but this is just the surface.
On any occasion, don’t ignore the silent war in which women show off their charm and even compete for beauty.
Fitted skinny jeans, shaping short-sleeved T-shirts or plaid shirts are standard accessories for young or intellectual ladies, if they are more confident about their figure.
But if you don’t have this advantage, you can make up for it through other ways.
A loose and refreshing solid color or gradient chiffon shirt, coupled with a pair of slightly loose cotton and linen straight pants, can best show the dignity and elegance of a woman in this cool and comfortable northern golden autumn.
Different from the straightforward evening dress party, in the relaxed barbecue party, the competition between ladies about their own image and charm is covered up by the joyful, relaxed and harmonious atmosphere, without any trace, but it is everywhere.
Of course, just like men like to show off themselves in front of women, everything is just instinct and has nothing to do with good or bad, scheming or anything like that.
This time, the gifts from friends were just as simple.
Angel’s comic books, beautiful clothes, three little guys’ dolls, and souvenirs brought by friends from out of town, such as high-quality wild fungus, edible fungi and other mountain products.
They are not worth much, but they are usually bought in the market.
If not, it’s best to give it as a gift.
Jolie even gave her a set of so-called postpartum aerobics CDs.
But when she came to the ranch and met Sousa and Rachel, who were just as they were before giving birth, she also joked and said bluntly that aerobics were really unnecessary.
At this moment, the lawn is still lively, with the men chatting and laughing while grilling meat, and taking a sip of beer from time to time, showing a bold and free spirit; the ladies are also chatting, and many are preparing salads and desserts.
But look, they were just turning their heads and chatting.
It took more than ten minutes to make a simple cream salad.
If they were in charge of today's lunch, everyone might as well starve to death.
Fortunately, the main meal is barbecue.
Men have to suffer from the smoke and fire, and women only need to enjoy it.
Moreover, most of the salads and desserts are also handled by a group of mothers led by Qin’s mother.
Everything seems lively but leisurely, busy but orderly.
The various ingredients are amazing and the delicious pastries are addictive.
For example, the big men of the Cowboys, who have generous annual salaries, are no strangers to Qin's beef cattle and vegetables, but this is the first time they have tasted desserts made from improved crops and milk.
They have such delicious taste, softness and smoothness.
The taste really makes them want to swallow it with their tongues So on the lively lawn, an exciting "Dessert Eater" tournament was staged.
With everyone watching happily, several big and fat people sat in front of the long table, eating one egg tart after another, half of the palm-sized moon cake in one mouthful, cream egg yolk pie, caramel banana tart, honey osmanthus cake, syrup oil Fried buns, plate after plate, the hands of the big eaters are constantly flying, and the heroic aura of eating the whole table makes people dare not look directly at them.

Of course, the benefits are obvious.
Now the atmosphere is more lively.
Some guests who adhere to the concept of healthy eating and only eat seven to eight cents full can't help but order another large portion of roast venison.
Qin's beef cattle are still sold outside.
This venison is no longer available in this village.
Damn healthy food, go to hell with me.
In addition to delicious food and wine, another highlight today is a variety of delicious freshly squeezed juices.
Various shrub berries such as lantern fruit, rosehips, wild grapes, and wild blueberries are simply processed into juice, and then supplemented with a small amount of white sugar and a trace amount of refined salt, it becomes a sour, sweet and refreshing pure natural drink, coupled with its natural The healthy color tempts people to drink two more cups.
Children like this beautiful and delicious juice the most.
They sit around the small table, gnaw meat and drink juice.
Such a beautiful enjoyment makes them wish they could live here all their lives.
Delicious, delicious, fun God, this is the paradise that children dream of.
After An Qier had roasted the barbecue for more than ten minutes, Qin Yi didn't want her to continue.
The little girl naturally likes to show her skills to everyone, especially if she can get everyone's praise and the admiration of the children.
But this is her family's big treasure, and Qin Yi can't bear to let her work so hard.
"An Qier, you are a big girl, so daddy has to give you an important task."
Qin Yi took Chef Angel and Chef Becky aside and coaxed them with a smile.
Angel, who was originally dissatisfied with her father for delaying her barbecue, suddenly showed anticipation and was very excited: "Don't worry, dad, whatever the task is, I am very powerful, and I will definitely be able to complete dad's task."
"Uncle Yi, Betsy can also help."
Betsy quickly raised her little watch to express her gratitude.
She felt that Uncle Yi often took others to play together and had delicious food, so how could she not help?
Qin Yi rubbed his two little heads, feeling satisfied.
Look, there was no mission mentioned yet.
The children were so active.
Sure enough, their love for them was not in vain.
"Okay, it's like this.
The children are guests, but dad can't even entertain them.
Can you help me, like a little host, so that the children can eat satisfactorily and have fun?"
The girls immediately patted their chests and promised again and again that they would entertain the children well.
Then they ran back to the house, changed into beautiful princess dresses, and took the children to eat, drink and have fun.
Qin Yi was secretly proud of coaxing them to no longer focus on the barbecue.
He couldn't bear to work these two little ones.
How could these guests dare to bother their precious children to cook?
He's so stingy Naturally, no one was waiting for the girls to cook barbecue.
It was all the old men who asked two six-year-old girls to cook for everyone.
They were really not that shameless, so everyone did not put down the barbecue on hand.
Even big names like Congressman Scott and rich man Kroenke selected the ingredients and grilled the meat themselves.
It's rare for them to be so relaxed Time passed slowly and the party was finally coming to an end.
Before the guests left, Qin Yi prepared some return gifts, including a fist-sized truffle and one or two pounds of coffee beans.
They were not worth much to the ranch, but they were valuable to the surprised guests.
