Chapter 1644 That Encounter

Like various garden activities before the Spring Festival in China, San Jose's Central Park is also filled with a joyful holiday atmosphere today. Amidst the endless Christmas carols, many people are talking and laughing as a family unit, or playing and playing. We happily took photos under the Christmas trees decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and next to the fairy tale houses with distinctive features and lifelike shapes.

The joke is that adults have been busy for a year and it is finally time to take a break, or they are very satisfied with the salary they just received.

The ones making the fuss are the children, big and small, who are still at a stage where they are easily satisfied. Just so many people and so many highly entertaining and entertaining facilities can make them happy. .

It seems that he was infected by such an atmosphere, or because he has rarely been to such a crowded place recently, Vincent was particularly relaxed today, his smile was particularly bright, and he talked a lot. From time to time, he would face a Christmas tree, or A fairy tale house, I shouted happily, "Mom, mom,"

Such a lively Vincent is really a lovable little guy. Not only did the mothers look at him with curiosity, but they would also tease him. After a while, several children of the same age gathered around him, but among them The little guy is still a little shy in front of these strangers. When faced with the overly enthusiastic behavior of some children, he will still habitually ask his mother for help.

When a little girl wanted to take him to see Snow White, he simply ran back to his mother.

"Go play with the kids," Ma Ling said, looking at the little guy holding her hand.

Vincent held her hand and shook it, a little shy, but when he looked at the other children's parents, especially the father, there was obvious envy in his eyes.

"Dad will be back in two days," Ma Ling picked up her son and walked towards the largest Christmas tree in the middle. She also wanted to look for the Christmas tree sponsored by Facebook for the exhibition.

Near the center, Ma Ling finally found the Christmas tree, which was a tree covered with Christmas cards.

There are more than 300 of these Christmas cards, registered users of Facebook from more than 80 countries on five continents. At this time, beside the tree, many people are browsing the contents of those cards, and more people are taking photos. Posing for photos, it is obvious that residents of Silicon Valley have a very favorable impression of the most successful product in Silicon Valley this year.

"Look, this tree is...," Ma Ling and Vincent approached a greeting card and were about to explain to him that this was sponsored by his father, Feng Yiping's company, a pleasant and somewhat familiar tree. The voice cut through the noise around them and reached the ears of mother and son, "Little brother,"

Marlington trembled, didn't he?

Vincent turned his head happily, and then smacked Ma Ling's face hard, "Mom,"

Ma Ling looked back, and over there, wearing a red hooded sweatshirt with a furry panda embroidered on the front, and a Christmas hat, Amanda was holding her mother's hand and pointing towards them in surprise. .

Ma Ling looked around. There were many people. Are he and Vincent so outstanding?

Also, why are they here tonight?

She looked at the Christmas tree in front of her. Yes, she really shouldn't be here.

Amanda had already run over happily and stretched out her little hand towards Vincent who was still being held by Ma Ling, "Hi Vincent,"

"Mom," Vincent called.

Ma Ling put him on the ground, "Hello Amanda, you are so beautiful today,"

"Thank you, you are very beautiful too." Amanda has already taught you this in a good way. "Vincent, let's play together. There are many beautiful fairy tale houses here."

"Okay," Vincent didn't hesitate this time and grabbed Amanda's hand happily, "I just saw a very mighty soldier guarding several big treasures."

"I don't want to see Soldiers, I want to see Snow White," Amanda said.

"Then let's go see Snow White," Vincent said calmly.

"Then let's go see Snow White first, and then go see the soldier you like, okay?" Amanda said.

"Okay," Vincent smiled happily and looked back at Ma Ling, "Mom,"

"Then go," Ma Ling was a little helpless. Why didn't two girls show up this time?

"Hey, what a coincidence!" Huang Jingping also came over at this time, and her words were similar to what she said in Chinatown last Thanksgiving.

"Yes, it's quite a coincidence," Ma Lingxin said. This is such a coincidence, okay? Although they all come to this Christmas tree, why is it such a coincidence that they all choose today and this time?

With the hustle and bustle around us, even if we were to miss it for a few minutes, we wouldn't bump into each other again.

"They seem to really like each other," Huang Jingping said, looking at the two little guys holding hands and walking side by side.

"Yes," Ma Ling's thoughts were a little complicated.

"You see Amanda was so happy. After that Thanksgiving, she mentioned Vincent many times. Every time she took her out, she always looked forward to seeing that 'beautiful Vincent' again. I was still the first I saw her being so obsessed with a friend once," Huang Jingping said.

"Just now, there was a little girl who wanted to take Vincent to see Snow White. He didn't agree with anything." At this time, he happened to walk to Snow White's cabin and looked at the two people surrounding Snow White, chattering. Guy, Marling said.

"Haha, I'm glad they both like each other so much," Huang Jingping said.

Ma Ling felt a little guilty again. If you knew about their relationship, you wouldn't be so happy.

"I'm also happy that Vincent has a new friend,"

"By the way, I left in a hurry last time and forgot to introduce myself. Huang Jingping, you can call me Huang,"

"Hello, I'm Ma Ling." Ma Ling, who was still hesitating whether to tell her real name, habitually said her name, "Nice to meet you,"

"Nice to meet you," the two gave a brief hug.

To be honest, Ma Ling really didn't want this.

She really didn't want to have such close contact with Huang Jingping. She knew that the more this happened, the more sad Huang Jingping would be if she knew the truth in the future.

Moreover, Ma Ling is indeed a person who is not good at pretending.

"Vincent is such a cute kid," Huang Jingping couldn't help but say while looking at Vincent.

Looking at the two little guys holding hands in front of her, she suddenly came up with the idea that it would be a good choice for them, especially Vincent, to become the spokespersons of the baby products company.

"Thank you. I hope he can be as generous and sensible as Amanda. He is always shy in front of strangers. You see, he doesn't know how to say hello when he meets an acquaintance."

Huang Jingping praised Vincent, so Ma Ling should naturally praise Amanda.

"He is still young. When he reaches a certain age, he will know it himself," Huang Jingping said.

She remembered that Feng Yiping seemed to have said that she was like this when she was a child. She was very shy in front of strangers. When she met acquaintances, she didn't like to say hello, but walked by with her head down.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Vincent is three?"

"Yes, I just turned three last month,"

"Oh, she's just half a year older than Amanda. She's in kindergarten, right," Huang Jingping asked.

"Just for this summer,"

"I want Amanda to go to kindergarten until she is three years old,"

The minimum age accepted by kindergartens in the United States is 6 weeks. Children from 6 weeks to 2 years old are called daycare, which is domestic day care. Of course, there will be some behavioral norms and the development of self-care abilities, such as eating by yourself. Drink milk, take turns playing with toys with the children, etc.

After the age of three, it is called preschool, which involves the development of behavioral norms and some preliminary teaching.

Of course, American high school students are so relaxed, especially kindergarten. These teachings are generally very basic, such as letters and numbers, and there are some group activities, such as going to the zoo, going to the farm on Halloween, etc.

In fact, the main thing is to play.

Huang Jingping feels that she can teach her more at home than in kindergarten.

"It would be nice if you have time to take care of her," Ma Ling said.

"I was a stay-at-home mother before," Huang Jingping said. "Her father was always on business trips, so I had to take care of her."

She actually had a question she wanted to ask Ma Ling. You seem to be very young, so why do you have a child? But I only just learned the name, so it’s hard to ask such an intimate question.

Ma Ling was indeed worried that she would ask these questions, so she really didn't know how to answer. Fortunately, Huang Jingping was very American now, and he never asked her why she came here to see the exhibition alone with her children.

This relieved her.

But her optimism was too early.

"Mom, we are going to see that soldier," Vincent held Amanda's hand and walked over. While speaking, he also helped Amanda adjust the hat that was a little tilted on her head.

Ma Ling felt that this was enough. I had never seen you be so warm to other children.

She nodded, "You guys walk slower,"

"No problem," the two little guys held hands and skipped ahead.

Then Amanda's voice came, "Vincent, where's your dad?"

Ma Ling staggered when he heard this, and his heart immediately rose. These two little guys didn't care about privacy at this time. They must have asked whatever came to mind.

"Be careful," Huang Jingping gave her a hand.

"Thank you," Ma Ling thanked Huang Jingping, but her ears were focused on listening to what was going on in front of her.

"My dad is on a business trip and won't be back until Christmas," Vincent said.

fine! Ma Ling breathed another sigh of relief and felt the blood flowing from her head to her body again.

"What a coincidence? My dad is also on a business trip, and he won't be back until Christmas," Amanda also said, "Then, can we play together these days?"

"Okay," Vincent said without thinking.

This will definitely not work, Ma Ling thought.

If these two little guys were allowed to continue chatting like this, they might be betraying each other in the next sentence.

"Man, you are always so busy," Huang Jingping said with a smile.

"Yes," Ma Ling nodded, walked a few steps quickly, interrupted the two little guys' lively chat, pointed to the sculptures on the side and said, "Do you know what this is? Do you know the origin of Christmas? "

As expected, the two little guys stopped and were ready to listen to her explanation.

"This one who was born in the stable is...," Ma Ling told them about the origin of Christmas. In short, it was best for them not to chat.

"These three are the Three Kings from the East who came to congratulate me," Ma Ling finished speaking and Huang Jingping took over.

Just in time, while they were talking and listening, Ma Ling quickly sent a text message to her sister Annie.

Just when Vincent excitedly introduced the soldier he liked to Amanda, the two little ones held hands again and were about to go see other scenery, Ma Ling's phone rang, "Annie?" She said to Vincent with surprise, "Son, Annie called, she came to see us, and now she is at the door, so let's go home, okay?"

"Annie?" Vincent looked at Amanda reluctantly.

"If we don't go back to open the door, Annie can only wait there, what do you say, Vincent,"

"Okay then," Vincent reluctantly let go of Amanda's hand, "Amanda, see you next time,"

Amanda held his hand, "Mom,"

"I'm sorry, my sister said she came to see us, and now she is at my door," Ma Ling explained.

"Oh, that's not good to delay, so can you leave a phone number, maybe next time, let them play together,"

The two little ones were still holding hands, looking at them eagerly.

In this situation, this request cannot be refused anyway, "Yes, we should exchange phone numbers,"

…………

"Mom, can you call Aunt Ma Ling tomorrow?" Vincent and the others were no longer visible, and Amanda finally stopped waving.

"Oh, okay," Huang Jingping was a little silent at this time. Looking at Ma Ling's back, she always felt that she seemed to be under a lot of pressure, or running away from something.

Also, just now, looking at Vincent lying on Ma Ling's shoulder from a distance, she felt very familiar for no reason.

The laughter and joy around continued. Under the reflection of so many Christmas tree lights, the night sky was like a flower, warm and fragrant...
