994. The battle sparked by the red envelope
At night, Qin Shiou took out the prepared firecrackers and fireworks and hung them at the entrance of the fishing ground, on the trees in front of the villa, on the dock and other places.
Canada is compromising with the Chinese, or compromising with the economy,
Qin Shiou watched the news and said that five years ago, Canada did not allow Chinese people to set off fireworks during the Spring Festival, the reason is that we respect your beliefs and festivals, but our Canada is a country of immigrants, and if everyone sets off fireworks on their own festivals, it will not stop for 365 days a year.
But since last year, Chinese people have been allowed to set off fireworks during the Spring Festival, and even the city of Toronto has invited a professional fireworks team from China, and tonight the night sky of Toronto will be lit up with a more dazzling light than the night stars.
This has nothing to do with Qin Shiou, St. John's doesn't have these activities, he just has his own festival.
A large group of people gathered in the villa, especially with so many children, it seemed very lively.
Vivien also stayed on Farewell Island, where she would spend some time with her son, and would not return to Chicago until Weiss had adjusted to the unfamiliar environment and had no physical impairments.
When night fell, Qin Shiou, Mao Weilong, Hou Zixuan and Huang Haojia went to light these firecrackers, and with the crackling sound, the starry sky of Farewell Island bloomed one after another, which was extremely bright.
In the distant sky of St. John's, there are also fireworks shining, although there are not many Chinese here, but there are still after all.
Qin Shiou bought a lot of fireworks, lined up in front of the villa, and all kinds of fireworks competed in the night sky.
The beasts were the most afraid of the sound of firecrackers, and when they sounded, the meaty bullies all crawled under the couch.
Tigers, leopards, bears and wolves also want to run. But seeing the cowardice of the little bullies, they suddenly found a sense of superiority. They gathered together and looked up at the sky.
They weren't interested in fireworks, but they could see everyone looking up at the sky. And they did the same.
But the little bullies weren't alone, and King Simba was hidden under the couch, and even further back - and when the first firecracker sounded, it was in a hurry.
The fireworks lasted for an hour, and after that it was a reunion dinner.
It's not a group of people in the family, and it's very harmonious to talk and laugh together, Qin Shiou feels that this is much more interesting than the previous New Year with three people in their family.
The dishes on the table are sumptuous, a combination of Chinese and Western, Western food, Chinese cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Northeast cuisine and mixed dishes. Dozens of exquisite dishes were put on the table, and Huang Haojia and Hou Zixuan began to scramble to take pictures.
Father Qin happily watched a group of people playing, and said to Qin Shiou: "So many people celebrate the New Year together, it's interesting, right?" β
Qin Shiou nodded and said, "Yes, it's really interesting." β
Father Qin immediately said: "So you have to work hard, son, you and Winnie have five or six children, and then you can make such a fuss every year during the Chinese New Year." β
Qin Shiou was infected by the joyful atmosphere, patted his chest and said, "Your son is fine, it depends on Winnie's wishes." As long as she likes children, let alone five or six, it's no problem to get a football team! β
"How many people are on the soccer team?"
"11 without substitutions!"
"Son, you have ambition!"
Talk and laugh after eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Qin Shiou pulled out the table and called Mao Weilong and his entourage to play mahjong, and stayed up all night tonight. Otherwise, I'm sorry for the New Year.
Winnie took the children to go to bed after eating, according to the rules of Qin Shiou's hometown. I get up very early on the morning of the first day of the new year, and everyone wants to pay New Year's greetings. Of course. There are no relatives or neighbors to visit here, so it doesn't matter if you don't wake up early.
But the children still got up very early, because Qin Shiou said after eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and got up early in the morning to greet his grandparents for the New Year, and there were red envelopes to take.
Qin Shiou is naturally very rich, and when he first accepted his children into the villa, he gave them pocket money every day. Later, Winnie came and told him that he shouldn't educate the children like this, except for Shirley, who was rich in girls, and the boys' pocket money was directly stuck.
Want pocket money? Yes, go to work and make your own money, that's the rule set by Winnie.
Normally, Powell helps the fishery maintain vehicles and fishing boats to make money, while Gordon and Michelle help out on duty or go to the sea to help on holidays, and then mow the lawn and clean up in exchange for pocket money.
Therefore, it is very cool to have free pocket money for the New Year, last year in Qin Shiou's hometown, they have already enjoyed this preferential treatment, this year they are very positive, after getting up in pajamas, they ran down, and the words "Happy New Year" have not been cut off along the way.
Qin Shiou sent red envelopes one by one, and there was a thick wad of money inside, but in fact there was not much, it was only one hundred Canadian dollars.
After receiving the red envelope, Gordon took it out and counted it, at first he was happy, but when he calculated what he wanted to buy, he frowned again.
Weiss didn't care about the money, he didn't want it, Qin Shiou said that this was the New Year's money given by the master, and then he accepted it very happily, as for how much money was in it? It doesn't matter, behind him is the terrifying Carnegie family.
Gordon watched Weiss casually hold the red envelope in his hand, rolled his eyes, and ran over and grinned, "Man, you know what? According to the rules, the New Year's money is only left for the child for a while, and your parents will take it back later, and then help you keep it temporarily. β
"But, it's all nonsense, they won't give it back to you after they take it back, they will say keep it for you to go to college, marry a daughter-in-law, buy a car and a house, they won't give it to you anyway, understand?"
Weiss looked confused: "One hundred yuan, and then I can go to college in the future to marry my daughter-in-law and buy a car and a house?" How did they invest? β
Gordon waved his hand impatiently and said: "Invest in a golden eagle egg, they will not invest, but will spend it themselves." So, you have to keep the money, you know? But you still want to, I suggest you leave it to me for safekeeping, and I will save it for you. β
"What are you saving for?"
Gordon said confidently: "Look, you're still naΓ―ve, right? Of course, it's to save it for you to go to school and pick up girls, or do you like to play games? You have to buy equipment to play games, right? β
"No, no, no, I don't pick up girls, I don't play games, I only practice martial arts!" Weiss took it seriously.
Gordon looked at him carefully and asked tentatively, "Man, are you stupid?" β
Weiss said dissatisfiedly: "You are stupid, I heard that you didn't have a C in your final exam this year!" I don't play with fools, you go to the side! β
Gordon was furious and sneered: "Do you know that in our elementary school, no one has ever dared to talk to me in such a tone!" β
Weiss said: "Then now that I'm saying that, what should I do?" β
"Give me the money, and you apologize!" Gordon shows his fox tail.
Weiss said disdainfully: "That's impossible, this is the New Year's money given to me by Father Silk, I want to save for the construction of Silk Gate, and walk the rivers and lakes in the future, and do chivalrous deeds!" β
Gordon had no patience to play with him, and threatened: "If you don't give me money, I'll beat you!" β
As soon as Weiss heard this, his eyebrows fluttered, his legs squatted and his body leaned back, his hands clapped and then pulled away, shouting: "There is a kind of you come up, see that I don't have to slap you to death with the eighteen palms of the dragon!" (To be continued......)
