"Sister Lingjun, the work is done."
Ji Lingjun smiled happily and said:
"Well, I'm done, and it looks like you're not done yet."
"Yes, I went to the shipyard this afternoon to inspect it, and I spent a lot of time squeezing out my daily work time. Let's go, let's eat first, and then work overtime after eating, and get the work done. ”
After eating, Zhao Weidong did not rest, and immediately went to the office to continue to work overtime, and did not finish the work until more than ten o'clock, he knew that he must practice qigong well today, otherwise the work of opening up the two veins of appointment and supervision for the apprentice tomorrow could not be completed.
Time is quietly spent in tension and busy, today is December 23, 1976, tomorrow is Christmas Eve, Hong Kong is a British colony, so Christmas is the legal New Year, the atmosphere is very strong, now there is their own home, in this festival full of dreams, we must carefully decorate every corner of the home, to create a cheerful festive atmosphere, to have a good Christmas.
Zhao Weidong has never had the habit of Christmas, and he doesn't know how to prepare, so he asked his housekeeper Yu Wenling to prepare, he picked up the phone and hung up home, and it happened that Yu Wenling was the one who answered the phone, Zhao Weidong told her to prepare all the matters for Christmas, and asked her to carefully decorate every corner of the house, and to have a strong Christmas atmosphere.

Leaving the company and coming to the street, Zhao Weidong immediately felt that Christmas was the most lively in Hong Kong, and Christmas was the most solemn festival in Hong Kong, the tall buildings on both sides of Victoria Harbour were arranged with colorful lights more than a month in advance, and the shops were also decorated with Christmas decorations.
At this time, Hong Kong shows the most glorious cityscape, and the most prosperous time in Hong Kong is Christmas. The most lively is Christmas Eve, where there is a holy Christmas Eve Mass in churches, and choirs in some hotels and shopping malls sing Christmas songs, and people all over Hong Kong flock to the streets.
Another indispensable aspect of Christmas in Hong Kong is, of course, Christmas lighting. Located in the Tongtian Plaza on the 4th floor of Langham Place, the "Sky City" was lit up as early as the end of November.
This 10-metre-high fairytale castle is made of 30,000 dazzling lights. The castle is home to four angels who bring good news to the world at Christmas, one plays the harp, one plays the trumpet, one plays the violin, and one sings hymns.
In the center of the castle is a Christmas tree made of 888 glass mirror balls, which reflect different colors every second. In front of the castle, there is a "wishing star" that makes a wish to raise money for children who are affected by illness, and it shines with colorful lights.
Back home, they were immediately surrounded by the atmosphere of Christmas, outside the villa, everywhere hung with lanterns, ribbons, hanging a lot of trinkets on the trees, and also hanging a lot of white snowflakes on many trees, a large number of snowflakes hanging on the roof, in Hong Kong, where there has never been snow, you can enjoy the feeling of heavy snow outside the villa.
Christmas gates are also made on the gate, decorated with Christmas wreaths, Christmas knots, Christmas light balls, etc., and two life-size inflatable Santa Claus are placed on the left and right sides of the villa gate, which is so beautiful.
Walking into the villa, there is a large 2-meter-high Christmas tree in the middle of the hall, which is made of plastic feather leaves wrapped around metal supports, but the branches are not arranged neatly, but it looks quite natural.
There is a golden five-pointed star at the top of the Christmas tree, the top star is a star inserted in the Christmas tree, just like the crown of the Christmas tree, with the dress of the top star of the tree, the Christmas tree with the "crown" will naturally be quite fairy, and the top star of the tree can also be energized and glowing, a twinkle is very eye-catching, the Christmas tree is also full of colorful lights, gifts and paper flowers, with these, Zhao Weidong feels that the Christmas atmosphere at home is immediately revealed.

After the green Christmas tree is hung with decorations of various colors, there are also many white snowflakes hanging on it, and there is a large ornament of a small deer sledding in front of the Christmas tree, Zhao Weidong also saw that there are Christmas wreaths on the wall behind the Christmas tree surrounded by several conspicuous English characters: Merry Christmas.
Zhao Weidong thought that in this dreamy festival, if you want to create a cheerful festive atmosphere, you must pay special attention to the Christmas dinner, which is as important as our domestic Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, he wants to see the preparation, walked to the restaurant, there is a roaring fire in the fireplace, flowers everywhere are fragrant, wine is fragrant, today the whole family will gather together to spend this happy time together.
It seems that the housekeeper Yu Wenling is indeed very well prepared, the layout of the dining table is very good, the decoration of the dining table is also very beautiful, the colorful tableware, the elegant floral arrangement, the delicate and meticulous napkin buckles, each color and shape can be matched with each other, and the holiday table is arranged extremely richly.
The most important thing in the setting of the table is to use the tablecloth and the dining body to show the focal point, and create a warm atmosphere with a combination of colors.
The Christmas table is an indispensable highlight of Christmas Eve, where wonderful food and warm wishes are presented. a tablecloth with a Christmas tree pattern;
a coaster with a Santa Claus expression; Or a set of exquisite Western-style tableware, which can outline the taste of Christmas in the details, and fully reflect the theme in the combination of patterns and colors.
Urbanites who pay attention to quality will not ignore any detail, from the style and temperament of a living room to the cup and plate on the table, bit by bit, all of which are the embodiment of the owner's taste.
A delicate colorful polka dot cup: embellished with colorful polka dot three-dimensional patterns, selected acrylic material, with the clear texture of glass, and not afraid of falling.
Bright and cheerful colors, jelly-like transparency, unique design, make your Christmas table more colorful, increase the fun of eating. It is a cup cushion used alone, combined, it becomes a good helper in the kitchen - soup pot mat, heat-resistant material, wavy surface, considerate anti-slip function, so that it will not fall over because of small vibrations, beautiful decoration on the dining table, usually can also be used as a part of the home decorations, creative ingenuity, to create a taste of life.
For Christmas dinner, the spicer on the table is indispensable. Zhao Weidong saw this interesting spice grinder on the table, and they sat on the table smiling, not only looking cute, but also helping to grind granules of salt and pepper. Twins with different colors, even if they are placed together, they will not be mistaken, seeing the careful arrangement of the housekeeper Yu Wenling, the Christmas dinner that Zhao Weidong is looking forward to will become more enjoyable because of them.
Zhao Weidong saw Christmas wreaths, Christmas colored balls, big bows, Christmas bells, Christmas snowflakes, deer sleigh stickers, Santa Claus stickers, Merry Christmas Chinese stickers and so on everywhere in the villa.
Back to his master bedroom, he was startled, thinking that he had gone to the wrong room, and when he looked at it carefully, it was his own room, which was completely different from the original, the four-piece set on the fiery red bed, embroidered with gold silk flowers, in line with the warm and romantic atmosphere of Christmas Eve, there was a small plastic Christmas tree 1.5 meters high in one corner of the room, and a few electric candles were placed in different places, and some Christmas ornaments were also decorated in the room, just right.
Soon it was time for Christmas dinner, Zhao Weidong, Ye Qianru, and Di Lingjun all came to the restaurant, and sat down in their respective positions, Zhao Weidong looked at the scene in front of him, with thousands of thoughts, the life through is really incomparably wonderful, and the experience of life is more profound, he must cherish it more, looking at the two beautiful little girls in front of him, he felt that he was very happy, Zhao Weidong said:
"Sister, sister, Merry Christmas!"
Ye Qianru said happily: "Brother, sister, Merry Christmas!" ”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhao Weidong's mature face with a little immaturity, she thought about it, a year and a half ago, two young boys and girls fell in love at first sight in the dilapidated mud house of Liu Yuan's brigade, and the two spent a happy time together, she felt very happy,
In just a year and a half, he looks like an adult, and at the same time she also has some regrets, his brother is the same age as him, he is still in school, he is already in business, how did he do it, how can there be so much work that can not be done, his work is too busy, like an adult, there is a lot less time together, he is like a fan deeply attracted to himself, and he is more and more inseparable from him.
"Brother and sister-in-law, Merry Christmas!"
Ji Lingjun also said happily, she knew that the two of them would definitely enter the palace of marriage, and the two of them were like a pair of golden boys and girls, very compatible, if she wanted to be his woman, she must have a good relationship with her, if there is a conflict that will make him very embarrassed, she will never let him be embarrassed, she must have a good relationship with her.
Zhao Weidong saw that they were happy, so he said to them: "Sister, sister, discuss something with you, today is Christmas Eve, do we call everyone here, let's spend Christmas together, what do you say?" ”
