Chapter 531: Spring Festival
"Uncle, we want to go to my aunt's concert." Walking around with a group of relatives full of thoughts, a few young guys cheekily approached Zhang Tao and asked, even though they were older than Zhang Tao.
"It's still early, so you can count the number of people and come over together." Zhang Tao was thinking about those women, and naturally he didn't care so much about it, those women left after attending the engagement banquet, and no one said anything to Zhang Tao, not even a text message.
This made Zhang Tao feel more and more that there was a conspiracy here, but he didn't know what the situation would be. That's why I'm struggling now, and I don't know what to do.
As for these guys wanting to watch Zhao Lin's farewell concert, this is not a problem. Although Zhao Lin's farewell concert was only a few, Zhang Tao had no problem getting a few tickets.
Whether it is because he is the boss of the company or his relationship with Zhao Lin, this is just a small matter for him. And Zhao Lin's farewell concert was not held for the purpose of making money, but really for the purpose of bidding farewell to the entertainment industry.
There will be two in China, one on the stick side, one on the island country, two in the United States, and two in Europe. The last one is held here in Shonan, which is considered the end, so it's good to get the ticket for the last one directly.
"Will my aunt attend the opening ceremony of the Olympics next year?" According to the new calendar, it is actually 2008. But according to the lunar calendar commonly used here, that is, the lunar calendar as the saying goes, it is still 2007, so some people ask.
"Definitely, my aunt is now an international movie star and singer, how can I not invite my aunt to participate?" A guy next to him immediately replied without hesitation, the fact is that even if Zhao Lin withdraws, he will be invited to the opening ceremony.
"How's our football team doing?" Zhang Tao remembered a problem at this time, as if he had spent money on so many things, and he hadn't paid much attention to them over the years. After arriving in the United States, he basically didn't pay much attention to sports.
"We are certainly the best! There is no need to compare with those people in China, they are now going to Europe in batches to compete, and their experience is much stronger than those soft-footed shrimp in China. ”
The person asked by Zhang Tao was a relative of his family's generation, who now manages various sports clubs in southern Hunan. These are private clubs that have little to do with the government.
Zhang Tao also acquired a football club in Europe, which was specially used to introduce and train athletes here, so that they could participate in high-level competitions. As for the domestic fake A and fake B events, Zhang Tao has never paid attention to it.
Playing at home will only ruin your own athletes. In recent years, because of the stone turtle, the physical fitness of young people here has improved a lot, and there are many athletes of all kinds, not only football, but also world-class players in other sports events.
Compared with the two sports athletes who spared no effort to promote their side in the previous life, there are too many sports stars in Hunan Province now, and they are not comparable to them at all.
And here is not mean to their own people, there are a lot of rewards, and they are more flexible in what they want to do, so that sports stars are popular in advance, and I also want people here to know that as long as they do well, any job can become popular.
At that time, Comrade Li asked Zhang Tao for his opinion, and he only said it in general, and it was more something they had figured out by themselves. But this is even better than the one Zhang Tao saw in his previous life, and he has nothing to say.
What Zhang Tao is thinking about now is probably when the football here will reach the quarterfinals or something, because this thing is much more promising now than in the previous life, at least there are many good players in Europe here in Xiang Province.
With good players, good systems and management are also needed, this Zhang Tao has no way to interfere, but the whole country is changing in a good direction, and maybe their opportunity to break out of Asia is not far away.
After a heavy snowfall, the Spring Festival is finally here. This Spring Festival is much better than the Spring Festival of Zhang Tao's previous life, because Hunan Province did not suffer from serious snowstorms, which made the north-south traffic much better.
And because of the advance preparation of Zhang Tao's company, their losses in other parts of the country have also been minimized. Therefore, there was no large-scale national price increase this year, because they could not rise.
There are many farmers who cooperate with the Shonan Group, and the large-scale planting, breeding and transportation routes are not completely blocked, and the impact of the transportation of vegetable baskets from the north and south is not so great, so that everyone can have a good New Year.
And some places that were seriously affected by the ice disaster were also much better than in the previous life because of the timely rescue. This is the result that Zhang Tao saw, and he doesn't know what it actually is, but overall, it's a lot better.
"It's the New Year! It's Chinese New Year! "With the sound of firecrackers everywhere, the cheers of children are everywhere, and groups of people with various fireworks and firecrackers are set off in the open area. After all kinds of good news came, the Zhang family's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet also began.
At this time, it is already the time of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the family is reunited for New Year's dinner. Most people don't go out much, they sit at their homes and chat and watch TV, and they won't move around until after Chinese New Year's Eve.
Compared with previous years, this year's Zhang Tao's family has been a more lively year in recent years. Daniel Zhang's family all came here for the New Year, Zhang Tao and Zhao Lin were also at home, and the only regret may be when Zhang Yan got married.
After Zhang Tao's matter was resolved, all the pressure was on Zhang Yan, which made this girl feel very depressed. Especially during the Chinese New Year, most of the young people in the neighborhood have gone home, and her meetings have also increased the frequency.
Zhang Tao's grandparents are still the same as in previous years, looking at the younger generations in their family with a smile. If you count Zhang Tao's aunt and their descendants, Zhang Tao's grandparents are now five generations in the same house, and they are still alive.
Zhang Tao's eldest cousin's child is about the same age as Zhang Tao, but the child's child is older than Daniel Zhang's, and if Zhang Tao's grandparents live for more than ten years, it is estimated that six generations can see it.
The oldest person in the village is actually blind, but his child is still in elementary school, and he is expected to be very satisfied to see three generations in his life.
Over the years, the blind man has become more and more low-key, basically does not go out much, stays at home, and then accompanies his wife and children. The outside thing is basically that his wife is busy, and it is not convenient for him to go out as his wife.
And what makes many people lose their eyes is that they all think that the blind man will die early after marrying his wife, but unfortunately after so many years, the blind man not only did not die, but was more alive than before.
And his child is also more than ten years old, and now he can basically help the family do something, so he doesn't need to do anything. By this time, no one was jealous of the life of the blind man, because everyone's life was basically the same.
The annual dividends in the village can make all the people here live a good life without going to work, and naturally they will not be jealous of other people's lives.
"It's still a good firework, and it's not loud." As the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve gets thicker, fireworks begin to set off all over the town. Because of the impact on the environment, some loud and dangerous fireworks are now restricted.
Fireworks that are loud are not allowed to be set off, and only fireworks that do not have a loud noise are allowed. Firecrackers are not regulated because they are much quieter. Despite this, the atmosphere of the New Year here is still very strong.
If all fireworks are banned, it is estimated that the people here will not do it. If there are no firecrackers and fireworks to decorate the New Year, the New Year's flavor will be much lighter, so what's the point.
But the kind of fireworks that are very loud and non-stop, and a little noisy, especially the kind of behavior that keeps going in order to show that you have money in your family, is even more annoying, and now this kind of scene is just right.
Zhang Tao is now past the age of playing with fireworks, but there are three more little guys who like this kind of thing in the family - Daniel Zhang's triplets.
Compared with the quietness of the sister, the two younger brothers are much more naughty. It's hard for them to buy fireworks in the south, and they're not allowed to set them off there, but they don't have to worry about that when they come here. The two little ones played happily every day, and quickly got together with the children in the village.
In addition to their father Daniel Zhang being able to suppress them, Xiang Zhangtao, Zhang Yan, Zhao Lin, and grandparents and the two ancestors in the family all spoiled them to the sky, as long as it was not too much, they would happily play with them, making the atmosphere at home a lot lively.
Compared with the previous life, Zhang Tao's family now has a lot of relatives to come and go, and there are many relatives who give gifts before the year and pay New Year's greetings after the year. The eldest aunt and second aunt, who should have cut off relations with Zhang Tao's family, are still in contact with Zhang Tao's family, and they are running very diligently.
It used to be the older generation running, but now all of them are young people, driving cars together to send New Year's greetings. In the homes of ordinary relatives, they used to sit and have a meal and play, and after arriving at Zhang Tao's house, they would stay for a day before going back.
The relationship between Zhang Tao's father and Zheng Hu is the same, when Zhang Tao was engaged, the people over there came over, and by the way, they did the gift giving the year before, and the next time they came over, they had to wait until after the second day of the new year.
In addition to these people, Zhang Tao Daniel Zhang and Zhang Yan's classmates, as well as friends, some of the relationship between Zheng Hu and his wife will also move around at this time, and their family is full of people every day when the New Year is approaching.
This is probably the so-called poor in the downtown without close relatives, rich in the mountains have distant relatives, anyway, when Zhang Tao was in his previous life, their family did not have this kind of scenic spot.
Some things have been changing since Zhang Tao was reborn, and some things are still the same as before. Zhang Tao himself couldn't tell whether he was used to this kind of changed result, or because he had really let go.
After the family sat together and had a hearty reunion dinner, the elders gave a red envelope to a few young people, which was the New Year's money. Daniel Zhang and Zhang Tao are gone, and their two children are a few years old, and one is about to get married.
Now there is Zhang Yan here, but this girl would rather not, because after receiving the red envelope, the adults in the family have to mention her marriage in pieces. Her current level is one level of Daniel Zhang's children, because only the four of them have red envelopes.
"The matter of keeping the New Year at home will be handed over to you two brothers, your father and I are old, and the world in the future will also be the world of you young people." After giving the red envelope, Zhang Cuihua looked at her two sons and said with a smile, they are now old and can't stay up late.
After sitting in the hall and watching TV for a while, Zhang Tao's grandparents and Zhang Cuihua went back to the room to rest. On this side of the hall, there was Daniel Zhang's family left, then Zhang Tao and Zhao Lin, and Zhang Yan.
Because the three nephews have been in the south for a long time, they have become accustomed to the habit of playing and resting there, and they have been playing with Zheng Shuang and Zhang Yan. Daniel Zhang and Zhang Tao brothers drank wine while chatting about their own affairs.
"This wine is a little lighter, but it's still a little cooler in the army." The wine is a home-brewed glutinous rice wine, the degree is not high, and it is mixed with hot boiling water. Daniel Zhang is now a major, and he has been promoted several ranks after he arrived in the unit.
Graduated from a key military academy, his professional achievements are not bad, coupled with his excellent kung fu and the relationship between his wife's family, Daniel Zhang is mixed in the army. For his age, he is now a major, not to mention the potential in the future.
"The wine in this house is just drinking and playing, can it be compared to yours?" Zhang Tao laughed after hearing this, it seems that after so many years, Daniel Zhang's skills have been thrown by himself again. But this guy is also an official now, and he has a momentum that is not angry but powerful.
But against Zhang Tao, this momentum is much weaker, Zhang Tao's own kung fu can now throw off Daniel Zhang countless streets, plus the challenge of various extreme sports, if his momentum all burst out, Daniel Zhang can not withstand it.
"You haven't thought about entering the system? Or the military? With the cooperation of our two brothers, we may be able to break to a higher level. Daniel Zhang looked at his younger brother with a somewhat complicated expression.
Over the years, his vision has been high, and after so many years in the army, he has seen some things more and more clearly. All the changes in their own family and themselves come from this guy, and if it weren't for Zhang Tao, they don't know what it would be like now.
"I'm not fit to go there, and I'm doing it like that. If all my wealth is really announced, the current richest man in the world is just my mantissa number, do you use it to fight for that? Zhang Tao said with a smile after hearing this.
"It's you, there are more opportunities to crawl on the Internet now, so behave well. Don't stretch out unnecessary hands in some places, our family and your wife's family are not short of money, merit is more important. ”
It was natural for the two brothers to talk about these things, there were no outsiders here, they were all their own family, and they didn't have to guard against anything. And the three women are now playing with the three children, and they didn't come to disturb the two brothers chatting.
