Chapter 417: New Year's Pass

ps: Since it has been on the shelves for more than two years, this week ushered in the first test of the recommended position, I hope you will vote more! Thank you so much!

Time and distance have created different scenes of life in South America and the Far East, but what has not changed is the cultural customs that have been passed down for thousands of years.

The end of the year is approaching, and the people who have been busy for a year have temporarily put down the work at hand and began to prepare for the new year.

Killing chickens and sheep, the adults in the village opened their pigsty, selected a fat pig, tied four hooves, put them on a two-wheeled cart, pulled to the center of the village, shaved and slaughtered.

There are many kinds of livestock raised by local farmers, the most common are chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, alpacas, camels, wild deer, pheasants and other animals, among these animals, in addition to the beef cattle and sheep mainly exported to overseas areas, each farmer's family will generally raise a few or dozens of water and water, domestic pigs, buffalo has mild habits, has a history of domestication for nearly 10,000 years, and is often used as a supplement to steam machinery, used for the main labor of farmers in the field, and domestic pigs are one of the main sources of meat for the people, during the New Year's holidays, Slaughtering one head is to change the taste of the children in the family, and it is also the main meat to entertain relatives and friends.

Near Yangzhou Xinjingfu, a rural mountain village near the sea, because of the earliest base of the Han Kingdom and the government's policy of encouraging childbirth, the original primitive and desolate Jingbian Town, the population has exceeded 10,000, and the local economic scene is becoming more and more prosperous.

In the center of the town, more than a dozen Chinese men ranging in their twenties to their forties were busy boiling water, killing pigs, shaving their hair, etc., while around the busy Chinese men, hundreds of men and women, with young children in their arms, stood near the two-wheeled cart used to pull pigs, watching the men kill pigs while chatting with each other about the harvest of the past year.

Children with pigtails, paper windmills, small bells and other small toys in their hands, ranging in age from three to five to eight or nine, regardless of the scolding and shouting of adults, are like ducklings in the water, running back and forth near the crowd.

The center of the town was bustling with activity, and the people who were familiar with it and unfamiliar with it in the past were all smiling and chatting happily with each other.

At this time, on the outskirts of the pig killing man, on the country road leading to the town's bazaar, there were twenty or thirty Chinese people pulling two-wheeled frame carts, and the carts were full of goods.

They are fishermen living in Xincuo Village, Jingbian Township, and their two-wheeled carts are loaded with recently caught fish.

"In recent years, God has enjoyed food, the crops, cattle and sheep in the fields and pastures have grown well, and the sea has been smooth, and I have gone out to sea to fish, and I have not encountered strong winds and waves. Living in South America is really a blessing for Your Majesty. ”

In the middle of the crowd, a middle-aged Chinese sighed.

"Compared with the time in the Far East, in South America, life is not known how many times better, just like we went to sea to fish a few days ago, drifted in the sea near the village for a day, and salvaged a boatload of sea fish, originally just thinking about the New Year, to the sea to catch a little fish, so that the children at home and the villagers and neighbors to change their tastes, who knows that we are lucky, more than 20 people went to sea, brought back a full twenty-seven full of fishing boats, the population of Xincuo Village is only seven or eight hundred, each family divided dozens of catties of sea fish, There are more than ten boats of fishing left, and the remaining sea fish can not be eaten and put away is also a waste, so the town market is not far from Xincuo Town, and it is not close to the sea, so the remaining sea fish are pulled to the town, and the remaining sea fish are sold in a hurry for the New Year, maybe they can earn a few more Han Yuan, and buy a few more fun gadgets for the children at home. ”

Another man who was over forty years old and had some dark skin, with a Rongcheng accent, asked with a smile: "Brother Yang, the three brothers Guangzong, Guangcheng, and Guanghai are all promising, and that kid of Guangzong is even more amazing, and now he is a big officer in the navy, and I heard that commanding an ironclad ship alone is a great big man, it is said that the three sons are so promising, you should stay at home, take care of the old age and enjoy the blessings, why do you still follow us and go to the sea to fish?" ”

"Hehe, it's not as good as Brother Zhou said, the captain of the naval destroyer who was just promoted by Boss Guangzong the year before last, and his military rank is still major, so he is not a big man."

Yang Kaifu was happy in his heart, and said with a smile on his face.

"The high-achieving students who graduated from the Naval Military Academy are not ordinary people, our new Beijing Mansion is the land of His Majesty's Longxing, with a population of seven or eight hundred thousand, but the students who can be admitted to the Navy Military Academy every year are only eighty or ninety people, although there is no imperial examination in our Han Kingdom, but through the intermediate school graduation examination, enter the pre-university study, but it is similar to the previous imperial examination, as long as you can graduate from the university, apply for an official in the government, and become a technical manager in a state-owned enterprise, you have a great chance of success. Moreover, the naval officer school is not the same as an ordinary university, after graduation, he directly becomes an officer who eats royal meals, and the identity and treatment are not comparable to ordinary college graduates. ”

"The navy's salary and treatment is called a good, ordinary soldiers pay a month plus subsidies, a month can get 30 Han Yuan, almost three months of wages for workers in the city, my second child entered the Navy Atlantic Fleet service, the first month to the family remitted back 21 Han Yuan, to now, the second child has been in the Navy for more than half a year, remitted home the money has 130 Han Yuan, I keep these money, just wait for a few days after the New Year, when the second child comes back from annual leave, use this money, Holding a good-mouthed matchmaker and helping the second child talk about a family affair can be regarded as the end of my and my family's heart. ”

"My family Guangzong has been in the army all these years, and he is not young, and after the New Year, it is time to give him a family affair."

Thinking of his eldest son, Yang Kaifu spoke.

"That kid from Guangzong is now an official of the imperial court, a girl from an ordinary family, can he look at it?"

"Brother Wang's words are not right, even if the boss is an official now, he is also the seed of the old Yang family, and the girl introduced by his father and mother, does he dare to dislike it?"

"That's right, it's different now than before, His Majesty the Emperor of our Great Han Kingdom advocates the equality of the people, although he is supported by people when he becomes an official, but he is not like the officials of the previous dynasty with his head to the sky, and he looks down on ordinary people."

The swarthy man nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "The boy of the Yang family grew up with me, what kind of temperament does that kid have, I still don't know, if you want me to say, the boss of the Yang family and the second girl of my family also grew up together, it is better to wait for Guangzong to come back from vacation, arrange for them to meet, contact the previous relationship, rich brother, right?" ”

"Brother Shiro, Songlan's girl is well-behaved and obedient, I and the two members of the family like her very much, but is Songlan a little younger?"

"It's not small, after the fifteenth year, in another three years, it will be eighteen years old, wait for Guangzong to come back, arrange for them to meet first, if the two children feel suitable, first settle the family affairs, and wait until three years later, Songlan will enter the door of the Yang family again, it is not too late."

"Well, when I said it a year ago, I couldn't give Songlan to other people's families, and when the boss came back, let them meet immediately."

"It must be, my Songlan is usually well-behaved and sensible, except for your Yang family Guangzong's kid, I am not happy to let my daughter out."

The swarthy man laughed and said happily: "Don't look at me, Wu Shilang, who has been adrift at sea for a long time, and looks dark, my daughter is fair-skinned and beautiful, and it is just right to match your boss." ”…………
