888. The gift I once wanted (4/5)

"Because I still remember that there was a girl who sent Christmas cards every year. She wanted to find her parents who loved her, accompanied her, and her relatives who wanted to care for her, and the Garden of Eden that would make her live happily." Santa Claus said.

Eva was surprised, then turned her head suddenly to look at Wang Bo and said, "My God, what he said is completely correct. Did you just ask this girl to help contact Santa Claus, check the past Christmas card information on the computer, and find this?"

Lao Wang pinched his nose with a headache. It was not a good thing to have a smart wife.

Indeed, when Eva filled out her Christmas card, she went to the volunteer girl and asked if the previous information was retained.

The girl said that all the greeting card information was entered into the computer system by a dedicated person and could be traced to the 1980s.

Eva sent Christmas cards in the 1990s, so you can find the messages she left on them at that time.

Wang Bo asked the girl to help contact a Santa Claus to fulfill Eva's former Christmas wish at the cost of his willingness to fund part of the running funds of the Christmas village.

As a famous tourist attraction, the entire Santa Claus Village is actually full of commercial atmosphere. No matter which service you have to charge, it reminds people that fairy tales are fairy tales after all.

Wang Bo checked the news and found that even in this way, Santa Claus Village was facing a financial crisis.

Due to the economic turmoil in Europe and Russia in recent years, the number of tourists coming here has decreased significantly, and tourists in these areas are the main tourist groups here, making life in Santa Claus Village very difficult and even faced the dilemma of bankruptcy at one time.

Therefore, Santa Claus Village began to actively seek business partners, hoping to continue Santa’s fairy tale. After all, for the city of Rovaniemi, Santa’s fairy tale is an important part of income.

He saw this. Santa Claus Village was going to run, and it consumed too much money. If someone was willing to donate, they would be happy to accept it.

Everything was going according to his plan, but he didn't expect Eva to guess it as soon as she met.

The beautiful teacher was so familiar with him that from his actions, she immediately realized that her guess was correct.

However, she was still moved. She grabbed Wang Bo's wrist and looked at his eyes affectionately, and said softly: "The most correct decision I have ever made in my life may be to leave the northern hemisphere and go to the southern hemisphere, go to New Zealand, and wait for you."

Santa Claus gave Eva a small brocade box and said, "Please don't open it in advance, girl, wait until you get engaged, and it's a small gift we give you."

Eva smiled and said, "But I guess, there was a big surprise."

Santa Claus smiled and stroked her beard. The little loli went up and reached out to touch her, and turned around and said, "This beard is real!"

Lao Wang: “…”

The topic was interrupted by the little loli, and then chatted with Santa Claus. The old man originally only spoke Finnish and Swedish. After working in the village, he began to learn other languages ​​in order to communicate with guests from all over the world.

Now he not only can speak English and Russian proficiently, but also communicate in simple Chinese, French, Japanese, etc., of course his tone will not be very pure.

The old man is very kind. He is nearly ninety years old. He has experienced the Sufen War and World War II. He has his own philosophy and wisdom in life.

Wang Bo sat by the fireplace drinking the fragrant hot coffee, watching Eva chatting with Santa Claus, and there were also various innocent questions and answers from the little loli during this period, and felt that this trip was worth it.

After chatting with Santa Claus, they took photos and then the tour of Santa Claus Village ended.

It was already noon. After they returned to the city, the grand Christmas parade was about to begin, and on the Marine Avenue, the Christmas market was already open.

The Christmas market is an annual Christmas event here. This event has appeared for centuries. At first, it was an ordinary market used to trade items, similar to the Chinese New Year market.

In the past half century, with the determination of Santa's place of ownership, it became a Christmas market with a strong Christmas flavor.

When Wang Bo passed by the market, he saw Christmas bells, Christmas trees, Christmas flowers, dolls, antlers, ornaments and other things inside. They all had Christmas gift boxes and packed them when they purchased them.

Walking along the Marine Avenue, there are more than 100 kiosks working, selling a variety of handicrafts, cotton fabrics, knitted fabrics, candles, ceramic products, clothing and canned food to arrange Christmas tables.

The little loli looked at these things and felt novel, but she was just curious and didn't want to buy them.

The Christmas she spent was in summer, and the gifts she saw were naturally related to summer and New Zealand customs. Now, seeing pure Nordic customs gifts, I am naturally curious.

Wang Bo wanted to buy something for her, but the little loli waved her hand and said sensiblely: "Dai'er doesn't want it. Teacher, Dai'er is a big child. If you don't play with toys, you'd better save money."

After wandering around the market for a while, the three of them joined the parade.

When we were on a tour, Wang Bo bought colorful pigments and Christmas-colored clothing. He then used it. The three of them put paint on their faces, changed into clothes and joined the team, just like the locals.

The little loli and Eva were wearing reindeer hairpins, with big furry antlers on their heads, laughing while walking, while Lao Wang dressed up as Santa Claus.

His style took advantage of it. The city government prepared many small gifts and handed them over to Santa Claus. After meeting, you can give the gifts with just a 'Merry Christmas'.

Christmas in Rovaniemi is particularly grand. It is a grand event and there are many activities.

Sleigh competitions, Christmas party, puppet theaters, mobile games, multimedia performances that tell Santa's stories, etc. In addition, Santa Claus is everywhere on the streets.

However, the daytime was too short, and Wang Bo felt that the sun was about to set the mountain after only halfway through the parade.

Fortunately, the Christmas night in Rovaniemi is also a sleepless night, with brilliant lights everywhere, and fireworks are placed in the square.

Wang Bo wanted to participate, but it was too boring to eat and drink. After browsing the menu of festival activities online, he found that the sled competition was very suitable for them to participate.

In the past, this sled competition was a reindeer sled competition, but taming reindeer was not easy, and there were too few people participating in the competition, so it expanded to the dog sled competition.

Wang Bo came with the young man and the queen, and was originally just pulling a sled pumpkin cart for the little loli. Now that I can get some other gains when I get a rabbit.

There are strict regulations for dog sled trucks in Northern Europe, such as the number of cart pullers. Finland generally starts with five dogs, otherwise it will be too much pressure on dogs.

A domestic ice city learned to do such a project with foreigners, but only arranged one or two dogs to pull sleds, which was entirely for making money and didn't care about the life or death of the dog.
