For most people in China, New Year's Day is actually not a particularly grand festival, which can be seen from the Chinese government's holiday arrangements for New Year's Day.

Generally speaking, governments at all levels, enterprises and institutions only have a day off on New Year's Day, which is not as long as the Qingming Festival and May Day. As for the school's indifference to New Year's Day, especially when it is exam season in the university, all students are ******** by the exams of various subjects, how can they be in any mood to go to New Year's Day?

The most impressive thing is the New Year's Eve party of each David TV every year, Mango Satellite TV, Dragon TV, Donghai City, Jiangnan Satellite TV and Beiping Satellite TV all invite stars from all walks of life for the sake of ratings, competing to show their strong strength.

Therefore, every Chinese New Year's Eve, many young people are struggling with whether to watch the New Year's Eve party of that TV station, and some people even carefully study the program list, staring at the time and adjusting the channel, in order to be able to see the wonderful performances of their favorite stars.

In the past few years, the deepest impression left on everyone on New Year's Day is probably this.

However, this year, many young people have an additional activity, which is to watch New Year's Eve in New York Times Square on the Internet.

In previous years, the Times Square New Year's Eve celebrations were only a few snippets in the news on New Year's Day, and everyone's knowledge of the world's biggest celebration was limited to impressions on the TV news.

This time, because of Xiao Feng, many fans also want to see what is going on with this grand celebration that gathers nearly two million visitors?

So, at noon on New Year's Day, many young people found the live broadcast signal of the United States through various ways and watched the broadcast of the New Year's Eve ceremony. At the same time, everyone also refreshed the scarf in real time and interacted with Xiao Feng and other fans. It's also very pleasant.

The Chinese New Year's Eve in New York Times Square amazed many Chinese people, and the fireworks display in Haizhou and Xiangjiang was dwarfed by this event attended by millions of people.

Many rich local tyrants have secretly planned in their hearts that they can go to New York for New Year's Eve next year, after all, these many people get together. For Chinese people who like to be lively, it is simply the best place to go.

Of course, looking at the aerial footage of major TV stations, New York Times Square and the surrounding streets are densely packed with human heads, which makes people feel shocking to watch.

Some people who don't have much affection for the United States not only maliciously associate in their hearts, but if a terrorist attack occurs at the scene of the New Year's Eve ceremony, and then causes a stampede, I am afraid that it will become no less vicious than 911.

Of course, this kind of thought is just a flash in everyone's mind. After all, once there is an accident, it is ordinary people who are injured. Although people are not interested in American imperialism, this does not mean that the bottom line of morality and conscience will be breached.

However, the fear is that this is unlikely to happen, and since 911, the U.S. government has increased the security level of major events and celebrations and key buildings by several notches, and it is easy to avoid problems.

In the case of New York's New Year's Eve celebrations in Times Square, the New York City Police Department and the FBI deployed nearly 10,000 police officers in the square and surrounding areas. In addition, traffic control and air traffic control are carried out in the surrounding area to eliminate unstable factors as much as possible.

After 911. The United States has more experience and funding for the prevention of terrorist attacks, especially in the past two years, when terrorism in Europe has been on the rise, and the American government has paid more attention to it.

For this reason, the New Year's Eve celebration in New York Times Square cannot be said to be foolproof, but at least the safety factor is not low. Although the garbage and drunken tourists on the floor after the festival are not a big problem, they are not a problem.

The New Year's Eve ceremony is also the first time to enter the field of vision of Chinese audiences. Everyone finally found out that Lao Mei is also quite slippery when she plays various celebrations, and her entertainment spirit is no worse than that of Chinese people.

Perhaps one day in the future, there will be a similar grand celebration in China, and then the characteristics of the Chinese people who like to be lively can be brought into full play!

This year's Chinese New Year falls on January 28. This also means that after the New Year's Day passes, the whole of China begins to enter the rhythm of preparing for the Spring Festival, and this subtle atmosphere may be felt by Chinese people later.

On the 5th of January, it is the Laba Festival, which is the footsteps of the Spring Festival for many families in the north, starting from this day, is getting closer and closer!

Early in the morning, every family has to get up to make laba porridge, and the materials are different, but the meaning they want to express is the same.

The Chinese nation may be the world's best at using a variety of cuisines to express feelings, and simple Laba porridge can derive a rich variety of traditions and folk culture from the selection of ingredients, boiling methods and eating habits.

The origin of the Xiao family is the Central Plains, and even though they have lived in northwest Yunnan for more than 300 years, some traditions have never changed.

In the early morning of the Laba Festival, Mrs. Xiao began to lead Xue Lihua, Xu Mengyao and others to cook today's Laba porridge, and all kinds of selected raw materials sent from the farm were already ready, waiting for the fire.

Since the old lady married into the Xiao family, she will boil a big pot of laba porridge for the whole family to eat every year, and has rich experience.

As for Xu Mengyao, she is still a new daughter-in-law, and she has to study with her mother-in-law behind the old lady from this year, but she is also quite attentive.

When the children wake up in the morning, the kitchen is filled with a strong aroma, and after a few hours of mixing and boiling with top-quality ingredients, it naturally gives off a charming taste.

Now, in addition to the top-quality products purchased from the Xiao family's kitchen, the entire 'Jinghu Group' also carefully selects the best products and sends them to the 'Dream Manor', which is also the tradition of the farming family.

In the past, no matter how financially difficult the Xiao family was, all kinds of ingredients in the fields, fish ponds and mountains would keep the best part for themselves to eat, and sell only medium-quality ones.

In fact, this is also a practice of traditional Chinese farming families. Farmers have always been good at saving their best harvest to reward their hard work for a year's work.

This point is carried forward in the Xiao family, all the ingredients of the whole family are the best part of the group, and the ingredients purchased from the outside world are also the best of the best, which is an attitude to life!

Today is Thursday. Lao Mei didn't have the tradition of giving the children a holiday because of Laba porridge, so Nini drank a big bowl of fragrant and delicious Laba porridge in the restaurant, and went out to school in the company of white clouds and black soil.

The paparazzi squatting outside the 'Dream Manor' are no strangers to the scene of Nini and the two big dogs waiting for the school bus at the door, and they don't even bother to take pictures.

Because of the strict underage child protection policy in the United States, paparazzi taking photos of underage children are not protected by law, let alone not exciting news, and reporters naturally will not be bored.

Don't look at Nini standing alone at the door waiting for the school bus, but the reporters all know that there are two groups of security personnel on standby at all times on the two modified Audi Q7s parked on the side, without affecting Nini's normal state. Make sure she's safe.

With the increasing wealth of the Xiao family, the security forces around the important people of the family are also increasing, and the scale of the security company under the name of the Xiao family is also getting bigger and bigger.

As a country where nine presidents have been assassinated, four have died in office, and guns are rampant, the law and order situation in the United States cannot be said to be much better, even in the most upscale residential area, Beverly Hills.

Therefore, it is normal for celebrities and super-rich people to come and go with a large number of bodyguards. The media and the public are used to this.

Nini, as Xiao Feng's eldest daughter, does not mention the huge wealth that she will be able to inherit in the future. The assets she now has alone can afford the close protection of two groups of security personnel.

Xiao Feng didn't use a convoy or helicopter to send Nini to school, which was already quite low-key. The two groups of security guards will take turns guarding the perimeter of Beverly Elementary School until Nini returns from school to Manor Dreamland.

Nini came out and waited less than five minutes when the big yellow car slowly drove by. After Nini bent down and hugged her two friends goodbye, one of them jumped on the school bus, greeted Mr. Antonio, an Italian, sweetly, and then laughed with her classmates.

After the school bus restarted, two Audi Q7s on standby also followed the school bus one after the other. All the way to the school, which has become a daily sight in Beverly Hills.

In fact, most of the students who go to Beverly Elementary School are children of super-rich or superstar families, and they are more or less protected by security personnel in secret, and the two groups of personnel sent by Xiao Feng for Nini are not too conspicuous.

Since moving to Beverly Hills, Xiao Feng can understand why Brother Chen Long chose to hide the information of his children, after all, living in the spotlight is too stressful for the children.

In order to avoid putting too much pressure on Nini's childhood, these two groups of security personnel will not contact Nini directly when they are not necessary, and will even stay out of Nini's sight as much as possible. However, Nini's mind is still quite mature, and she doesn't have any aversion to the existence of security personnel, but sometimes she deliberately buys something to invite these uncles and aunts.

As a result, it is not uncommon to see several men and women in black suits and sunglasses squatting on the street near Beverly Elementary School holding Häagen-Dazs cones, eating with relish.

These scenes were also filmed and reported by many reporters, which made many people laugh, and they also had a softer impression of the security force of the Xiao family.

Of course, this situation is also deliberately done by Xiao Feng, after all, the scale of the security company established by the Xiao family in the United States has exceeded 200 people, and in addition to providing security services for the important people of the Xiao family, they also have to protect the industry of the 'Jinghu Group' in the United States in an all-round way. Half of the employees of the security company are from China, and they are all retired elites of the Chinese military, and in order to eliminate some sensitive nerves of the American government and the media, some image research is still essential.

…………

The arrival of Laba Festival is like the prelude to the preparation of Chinese people for the Spring Festival, if someone enters Chinatown now, they can feel the strong flavor of the New Year.

Old Lady Xiao, Eldest Lady and Xu Xiangnan, who have been idle all day long, will go to Chinatown every day to find some old Chinese people to play chess and cards under the escort of the convoy, and their lives are quite comfortable.

Xiao Feng was naturally more relieved that the old people could arrange their own lives and become happier and happier, but he was worried that the old people were too boring.

Every day when Nini comes back from school, the convoy of several elderly people also comes back with the back of the school bus, and being able to go home with her grandfather also makes Nini quite happy.

In the past few days, several elderly people are thinking about making red lanterns for the Spring Festival, and the children are also very excited when they see this, and they have become the little tails of the old people.

There are a lot of red lanterns needed for the whole 'Dream Manor', and the old people decided to decorate the manor with a more Chinese New Year flavor, which is not a small project.

Fortunately, with the planning of the old people, William will naturally organize people to prepare various materials by hand, and the staff of the manor are also on standby at any time to provide all kinds of help to the old people.

For example, the bamboo strips used to make the red lanterns are flown in from the 'Ginkgo Village', and the rice paper is procured from the place of origin in southern Anhui and sent in, so as to ensure the best quality.

I have to say that after having a huge wealth, even some hobbies will become quite professional, and many actions that seem to be quite extravagant to ordinary people are just daily behaviors for today's Xiao family.

The old people were busy leading the children to decorate the 'Dream Manor', and Xiao Feng, who was still playing in the NBA, couldn't spare time to prepare various delicacies in person, so he could only arrange it through William.

No matter how busy he is during the New Year, Xiao Feng also hopes that he can personally cook a ton of hearty Chinese New Year's Eve meals for his family, which is also the only contribution that Xiao Feng can make for his family in this year.

Since joining the NBA, Xiao Feng has been able to cook for his family only a handful of times, which makes him feel a little guilty. Since becoming a father, Xiao Feng believes that the best gift for his family is companionship, which cannot be replaced by no amount of wealth.

In the past few years, while he is young, and while his grandparents and parents are still in good health, Xiao Feng has spent more time on the affairs of the team and the group, and when everything is on the right track, he can put down everything to accompany his family.

Sometimes, he can't spend every special moment with the children in the field competition, which makes Xiao Feng also quite regretful, and he hopes that this regret will be less and less in the future!

For Chinese people, the Spring Festival is actually the warmest time for the family! )

PS: PS: In the new month, ask the folks for a guaranteed monthly pass, folks have a happy weekend!
