Chapter 548: The Proud Ocelot

On October tenth, the golden season, Winslow's Park Carnival began.

Li Du and Sophie stayed for the carnival while Godzilla, Hans, and the others went back to Flagstaff.

As the sports equipment and goods were signed by the famous sports stars, they were extremely valuable. Out of careful consideration, Li Du wanted them to bring their precious finds back home first.

Hans had originally wanted to stay for the carnival, but an official from Homeland Security called him, saying that he had arrived in Flagstaff to check the eight sets of individual combat equipment for the Marines. He had to go back to Flagstaff to handle this.

Although the couple arrived early at the parking lot, there were hardly any parking spaces left.

Sophie seemed a little worried and looked kind of moody when she got out of the Hellcat.

Li Du was baffled. ”What's wrong?”

Sophie's eyebrows creased. She contemplated for a moment before finally saying, ”The sets of Marine equipment you've got—will it be fine? I'm worried there might be trouble with Homeland Security.”

”Don't worry,” Li Du laughed. ”Even if there are some problems, at most they'll just take back the equipment. They can't find fault with us. In fact, we did well by finding the equipment for them.”

As Li said those words with confidence, Sophie gradually became more positive about the situation.

”I'll give my parents a call first,” Li Du said. ”Wait a while for me. Relax, don't worry about anything. Just have some fun with Ah Ow and Ah Meow.”

It was golden October. Back at home was also the autumn harvest, and it was common to work until midnight during this period.

Li Du calculated the time difference. It was around 11 pm—he needed to get his parents to go to bed earlier.

The phone call went through and his parents were indeed still wide awake—they were helping their relatives with the harvesting.

Li Du urged them to rest but his parents were insistent on finishing their work for the day. Li told them that he now had a girlfriend. The two humble folks were so thrilled by the news of a possible daughter-in-law that they listened to their son about going to bed earlier.

Sophie had started to learn Mandarin seriously. But she had only just started and could not understand conversational Mandarin; not to mention Li Du was using a Chinese dialect to talk to his parents.

After hanging up the phone, they went in using the main entrance.

On both sides of the entrance stood several popcorn machines, and the air was filled so strongly with the sweet scent that it made Li Du feel slightly nauseous.

However, Americans loved this stuff. Some people called the American entertainment culture ”popcorn culture” because the snack could be seen in any recreational activity or event.

Li Du bought a bucket of popcorn for Sophie. She chose a sugar-free rainbow flavor. Canines could not eat much sugar and chocolate was off limits to them. So, in order to take care of Ah Ow, they chose a healthier version of popcorn.

Ah Ow had grown up fast; she was growing in size every day. Sophie had some difficulty holding her for long.

Ah Ow, Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles followed behind Sophie. Whenever Sophie ate a piece of popcorn, she would also throw some popcorn for the little ones behind her. The three of them would scramble and grab the popcorn, obviously enjoying themselves.

The park allowed pets to enter. As the purpose of the carnival was to let everyone have a good time and enjoy themselves, they would not reject pets as animals could create a dynamic and lively atmosphere.

Nevertheless, there weren't many people who brought pets to the park. When people saw an ocelot, a wolf pup and a raccoon in the park, Li Du, Sophie and the pets attracted a lot of eyeballs.

The song ”Take It Easy” played in the park as well. It was not playing from a device, but from a band. A few different bands at the carnival performed the song with various styles of music.

Sophie was a music person. She was able to tell Li Du the band's style when she listened to their performance:

”This is country music.

”This is jazz mixed with hip-hop. The rhythm is really cool . . .”
