The 193rd Festival was warm and solemn

The children were quickly selected, and Zhao Chuanyi was selected because of his fair skin and tall stature - he was one of the very few children who did not come from a peasant family. Let the teenagers be admired for a while. This kind of honor is not something that can be obtained anytime and anywhere.

Suddenly, a puff of white smoke rose from the Fort, as everyone now called it, and a cannon salute rang out. The crowd that was bustling on the docks suddenly fell silent, and the fleet entered the harbor.

Fang Fei glanced at the nurses and the students of the secretary class who had just arrived, they had just finished lining up, and they were still panting one by one, it seemed that this section of the road was Xiǎo running. Fang Fei used to be in charge of SHOWGIRL, and he had a keen sense of how to perform at his best, and he immediately noticed that the dust and sweat seriously affected the face of some people, especially the face of the mouth, which was obviously darkened and did not show a healthy flush. And the dust on the eyebrows and hair is also particularly conspicuous in the sun.

"Grab a máo towel and fetch water." Fang Fei gave an order, and all the indigenous clerks and cadres around him immediately took action. Fang Fei had been prepared for this kind of thing, basins, máo towels, lipsticks, combs, needles and threads...... Everything that might be useful is readily available.

There is a patriarch who is not so prepared to feel that this is an extra move, Fang Fei thought to himself that when Lao Tzu led the team to CHINAJOY, he would bring more than ten times more things than this, and he didn't know how many spare socks he needed.

Fang Fei glanced at the fleet in the harbor that was entering, it would take at least ten minutes to dock and set up a springboard, this time was almost enough, and he gave an order: "Everyone move quickly and clean up the NV children one by one."

As he spoke, he first twisted a handful of máo towels and a handful of combs in his pockets, and ran into the nurses' ranks. A clerk hurriedly followed with a basin.

Fang Fei quickly wiped the face and neck of an NV child, the other party was obviously taken aback, but they had been trained to absolutely obey the authority of their superiors, so they continued to stand motionless. Fang Fei dropped the máo towel, looked at it carefully, and quickly combed the nv child's bangs with a comb, and then he stretched out his hand, and a clerk next to him immediately served a box of lipstick, and he used a xìng cotton swab to pick a little and apply it to his mouth.

"Erase it yourself," he said, and immediately flashed in front of the next person.

This series of movements was as fast as a rabbit, which made the other clerks who were also helping the NV children groom in awe - Director Fang was really extraordinary, and in less than ten minutes, sixty people were roughly cleaned up

Just as Fang Fei breathed a sigh of relief, a jeep suddenly arrived, and stopped behind the customs building with a sudden brake, and it was the Governor who jumped out of the car. The Governor was wearing an old stand-up collar cadre uniform, followed by Hou Wenyong, who was carrying a briefcase, with a serious face, wearing the same four-pocket stand-up collar cadre uniform, and a pencil with a pen cap in his jacket pocket.

After Ma Qianzhuo got out of the car, he glanced at the crowd on the entire dock, and then looked at the fleet flagship that was leaning towards the pier with the full flag. As they strode forward, the indigenous cadres of the office in charge of welcoming the entire wharf hurriedly greeted them and led the way.

30 seconds later, the loudspeaker began to play the "March of Unity and Friendship", and the veterans resting in the rest shed stood up one by one, sorted out the clothes on their bodies, and put on a solemn posture one by one, striding closely with Ma Qianzhu towards the trestle.

On the flagship, the escalator gangplank had been erected, and a neatly dressed sailor salute wearing a special protocol white sè armed belt was stepping down from the battleship, making a beautiful turn and raising his hands in salute. The music stops, and the trumpeter plays the bugle. Dressed in a navy uniform, he waved a little at the mouth of the escalator, then slowly walked down the escalator, and gave a crisp and concise salute as he passed the salute.

Ma Qianzhu came to the springboard about five seconds early, and the two happened to meet each other at this time. The Governor stretched out his hand:

The two shook hands vigorously, and the patriarch behind them could see that they had said a few more words, both of them were full of chūn wind and smiles, but no one heard what they said.

“…… Secretary Ma presided over the ceremony at the wharf to solemnly welcome President Wen and Minister Chen, who had returned from the victory of the Battle of Guangzhou, and congratulated them on their great victory in the Pearl River Valley......

Zhang Yu stammered, but Mandarin was fairly standard, and the broadcast was transmitted through wires to the tweeters in many places in Lingao. Of course, the patriarchs in the city immediately turned off the loudspeaker and went about their business, but elsewhere, the natives gathered under the loudspeaker with great interest and listened with relish to the sound coming from the loudspeaker—for them, the sound that could come from the loudspeaker alone made them feel embarrassed.

“…… Children and teenagers present fresh huā ...... to Chairman Moon, Minister Chen, and the heroic Navy, Army, and Navy soldiers."

Steward Zhao smoked a cigarette in the account room, looking at the ledger while listening to the live broadcast of the tweeter in the county town. The loudspeaker in Lingao County has gradually become an important and influential facility in the county. Residents also went from being surprised and curious to becoming accustomed to it. Everyone has become accustomed to the "Athletes' March", which starts at 5 o'clock every morning, and the punctual time announcement of the Alpine Ridge time station that comes with it. In addition to the emergency notice of temporary chā broadcasting, the broadcast is broadcast from five o'clock in the morning to twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and then from four o'clock in the afternoon to eight o'clock in the evening. Most of the time music and opera are played, and the rest of the time news, agricultural programmes, supply and demand news, news of ships sailing and arriving in port, and advertisements are also played - mainly Australians themselves, of course.

Steward Zhao is used to this kind of chatter in his ears, and sometimes he will hum a few times along with the music. He didn't quite understand what was being played, except that it was about the return of some Australian official and the others being at the dock to greet him. He was more interested in the local opera columns that followed, broadcasting so-called "Cantonese opera" - the so-called Cantonese opera. Steward Zhao is not a native of Lingao, and he doesn't know much about puppet shows sung in Lingao dialect. But I still have a soft spot for Cantonese opera. Of course, the Cantonese opera that the Australian put on was not quite the same as what he had heard: the biggest difference was that it was sung in Cantonese instead of the official dialect of the theatre - which made him sound more pleasant to the ear, and secondly, not only was the tune and singing different, but the repertoire was much more ornate and mellow, and it sounded much better than the famous actors he had heard in Guangdong when he was a teenager. Steward Zhao has always thought it was strange, is there someone in Australia who sings Cantonese opera?

He carefully wrote down his expenses in a ledger - an important responsibility as a steward. The Liu Mansion is not a particularly wealthy family, and the land collected for rent is not much, and the annual income can only be regarded as roughly supporting the expenses of the mén household. There are twenty or thirty big xiǎo house slaves at home, and Master Liu also has to ask someone to buy books and four treasures from Qiongshan and Guangzhou; to the needy people, scholars, clansmen, and relatives; On weekdays, the scholars and squires in the county usually come to visit, and the necessary entertainment is also indispensable, and Master Liu also goes to Qiongshan, Danzhou and other places every year to visit his teachers and friends in the past...... In all directions, the overhead is considerable. Steward Zhao lived within his means, and it was not easy to barely keep his income and expenditure balanced, and sometimes he had to eat a lot of food. Until the last year, the old man served as the head of the mountain at Jasmine Xuan College, and although he could not often lecture at the college, Australians still paid 300 yuan a month as a travel fee. At first, Liu Dalin refused the income - not because he wanted to draw a clear line, but because he had stated that his position as the head of the mountain was only obligatory. Recently, after Steward Zhao repeatedly complained about the difficulty of family expenses, he was reluctantly allowed to accept the money.

"If there is a big event in the family, I am afraid that the land will be sold." Steward Zhao recorded the expenses of the recent appointment of doctors and the arrest of yào into the ledger. The brow furrowed. This so-called major event is the aftermath of Master Liu.

In the past month or so, Master Liu's body has been getting worse day by day, and he has gradually begun to lie down. Although the doctors were sent everywhere, the doctors were still invited from Xu Wen for a lot of money - there were no decent doctors in Lingao, and the most hode doctor in the county in the past was Yang Shixiang, the shopkeeper of Runshitang, but recently he went to Anguo, as for the Australians to open hospitals, although I have heard that their medical skills are wonderful, and they can even disembowel and treat people, but this reputation is not too poor or sick to death, but for the gentry, it makes them prohibitive. People still believe in Chinese medicine.

But the doctor who was invited with a lot of money didn't see that he was ugly, and after saying something that everyone didn't understand, he opened the prescription and left. After eating yào according to the recipe for more than ten days, it didn't work, and the illness gradually became serious. According to the rules of large families, it is necessary to prepare for the future in advance, one is "Chongxi", and the other is afraid that once you die of illness, you will be laughed at by others. Where did the expenses come from for Liu Dalin's funeral has become a nerve-wracking thing for Steward Zhao recently.

With Liu Dalin's prestige and status in the county, this aftermath must not be too shabby -- all the people in the county who have heads and faces have to come to pay their respects, and they are too shabby to be treated, and at least more than 100 silver will be required to spend it.

Steward Zhao counted and counted the numbers in the ledger, and counted and counted, but he couldn't find a place to find a spare amount of money. The Liu family has no rich relatives to borrow, and the family motto is absolutely not allowed to borrow money. After thinking about it, the only way to do it was to sell the land. However, the Liu family's land was originally not much, and the price of land in Lingao was not high. After selling some more land, the Liu family's household expenses will become more and more difficult.

"Alas" Steward Zhao thought about it for a long time, couldn't think of any clever plan, sighed, "I had to mend the sores."

However, it is not easy to mend sores, and the fields on the high ground are not very valuable, and there are even fewer buyers. In a hurry, it is not possible to sell anytime and anywhere. Steward Zhao was at a loss for a while, and Zuihou thought of the Australians.

Although Master Liu is not allowed to ask for it from Australians, selling land to Australians is something you are willing to do, and the Liu family has no benefits from Australians, so they can't leave any truth. Thinking of this, he decided to go to Bairen City in the next few days, meet his son, discuss the matter with him, and implement this matter as soon as possible.

Faintly came out of the tweeter...... Coming to Bopu today to attend the welcome ceremony were: Ma Qianzhu, Secretary of State of the Central Government Council, Wu De, President of the Planning Institute, Ma Jia, President of the Arbitration Tribunal, and Xiao Zishan, Director of the General Office of the Executive Committee、...... Li Sunqian, deacon of the Lingao County Advisory Bureau, and members Huang Yukun, Zhang Youfu, Lin Quanan, and Fu Baiwen...... and others attended the welcoming ceremony...... Chairman Wen cordially talked with the committee members. Member Li Sunqian said: Chairman Wen, you have worked hard. Chairman Wen said: I don't work hard, your body looks very healthy, you should pay more attention to rest......"

The members of the county advisory bureau were also among the welcoming crowds, and even the Lingao county government sent Wang Zhaomin to act as a representative, and Wen Deji shook hands with the members of the county advisory bureau. For a while, the gongs and drums were noisy, and he, along with others, continued to accept the welcome of the masses from all walks of life in Lingao. Zuihou, the gongs and drums stopped, and the chorus of Lingao Seminary sang "Jerusalem" composed by Dean Wu.

Zuihou, where the students of Parkview Green sang "Land of Glory and Hope". Wen Desi and the others listened to the singing with smiles on their faces, and expressed their gratitude to the choir, students, and everyone who attended the welcoming ceremony, and then he and Chen Haiyang and other veterans got into the carriage separately, and one after another black red flag carriages were escorted to Bairen City under the escort of the electric car ridden by the commander of the special investigation team.

Fang Fei watched the convoy leave and breathed a sigh of relief. There were no major problems with the whole welcome ceremony. While communicating with Ran Yao, he began to evacuate the people, and on the other hand, he took care of Ji Denggao and others to pack up the equipment and equipment that should be welcomed, and put them in the warehouse one by one. Especially those banners, they are all cotton, and it is not easy to apply for them, and it will be troublesome to steal them.

He had been busy for a whole week for this scene. It was more than 100 times more difficult to play in the 17th century than in the 21st century. People in the 21st century have at least seen this kind of scene, and the natives here have no concept at all, and can only do some mechanical work. Even a little bit of xiǎo must be done yourself. And there is another big event in front of Fang Fei's brain, that is, the annual meeting.

The annual meeting of Zhujie that was originally planned to be co-organized with the Mid-Autumn Festival was postponed due to the "Pearl River Battle" and was postponed until November. This time, the Standing Committee of the Senate decided not to postpone it and to hold a large-scale celebration banquet in the name of celebrating the "double victory of the sea and land." Of course, the reason why this celebration was put on the agenda so quickly has an important connection with the active activities of the leaders of the North American rudder. Several of these people were elected to the Standing Committee of the Senate. Their dissatisfaction with the current state of politics and their eagerness to expand the influence of the North American Department through the annual meeting have led them to make this happen.

Fang Fei didn't know that Weishenme Qian Shuiting and others were so enthusiastic about this annual meeting, especially after Zheng Shangjie withdrew from Guangzhou, in addition to discussing with Li Mei every day about the Lingao version of Ziming Building, he was planning this annual meeting. She also proposed a whole set of proposals for the annual meeting - completely in American style. Ten times more complex than the original plan.

However, Zheng Shangjie's plan received widespread support in the Senate, and everyone hoped to take advantage of this great victory to relax and relax. Find an excuse to eat, drink, and be merry. Many people have already bought "life secretaries" and are eager to show off the "Australian lifestyle" to these NV children.

These factors were combined, and finally the General Office finally approved Zheng Shangjie's plan to hold a "big party".

Of course, Fang Fei didn't care too much about certain things so he couldn't figure it out. Anyone who has even the slightest attention to the association activities within the group will know what the North American rudder attempt is.

Since Du Wen won the right of free association of the patriarchs at the plenary meeting, a complete association bill followed. This bill is roughly copied from Austria, but it has been changed according to the specific situation of the crossing group, the two main articles are: the association is only allowed to accept the patriarch as a member, and the second is that the fund of the association adopts a quota system, that is, the funds paid by each member must be the same, and the amount of membership dues must be submitted to the general office for approval. Without permission, it is not allowed to donate large sums of money to the association, nor is it allowed to give property to the association.

The vest is clear: the end result of the association is the formation of xiǎo groups with different political demands within the traversal group. This prospect is probably inevitable. Even without the so-called right of association, factions and hills will form on their own. Having an association or not doesn't change much. Some factions did not form societies at all. The clause that only the senators were allowed to join was mainly to prevent the senators from using the indigenous shili to oppress the other factions of the senate. The limitation of membership fees is to prevent the misuse of resources by associations.

On the whole, the senators were not very interested in the association itself - most were not interested in politics, much less in the activities of the society after work, and as for the management of the association, it was a matter of great admiration and insensitivity to it - where could the elders of the governing equality be relieved to manage the aborigines who were respectful. Therefore, almost a year after the passage of the Association Law, the only associations registered in the General Office are: the Spartacist Regiment, the Fùnv Federation, the Association for the Protection of Indigenous Rights, the Law Club, the Scale Model Club, the Steampunk Regiment, and the Otaku Party.

Among them, the initiator and president of the Spartacus Regiment and the Fùnv Federation are Du Wen. The former is, of course, the so-called "left-wing political faction", and the latter is the "fùnv rights protection organization". However, so far, the former is almost Du Wen's one-person club, and the latter, through her active activities, has almost brought in all the NV veterans and carried out some activities. In addition, the most lively is the otaku party.

The Otaku Party was formed shortly after the conclusion of the Second Plenary Session. The North American rudder, who had rushed to the political system established by the Second Plenary Assembly, gathered on the Feiyun yacht in Bopu on a dark and windy night.
