Chapter 43: The First Spring Festival
The sun is setting. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info Xu Lang, Sun Tianhao, Cheng Yiyi, Jiang Beiming, Zhang Hai and several people sat on the beach by the sea and stared at the sea.
"Xu Lang, I've seen stubbornness, but I've never seen you so stubborn." Jiang Beiming sighed helplessly.
Sun Tianhao stood up and threw a stone in his hand into the sea with a "bang", clapped his hands again and said, "Brother Xu, why are you doing this, do it or not, there will definitely be an explanation when the conference is held in the future." β
"That's it." Zhang Hai leaned over, "Brother Xu, why bother to stiffen the relationship, aren't you quite easy-going?" β
Xu Lang didn't answer, and looked at Cheng Yiyi: "Why don't you speak." β
"You're doing the right thing, and I'm here for you." Cheng Yiyi's words stunned the other three people.
"Yiyi, you γγγγγγ" Sun Tianhao shouted.
"You guys." Cheng Yiyi pointed to Jiang Beiming and a few people, "The husband is true to his word, this is a true gentleman." β
"Those who know me say I am worried, and those who don't know me say what I want. Hello sky, who is this! Xu Lang returned to his usual cynicism, "Miss Cheng and I have a close relationship, please accept Xiaosheng's worship." β
"Okay, okay, I know that you have a high culture, don't show off?" Jiang Beiming made Xu Lang cry and laugh, "What do you want to do next?" β
"What else can I do?" Xu Lang stood up and pretended to be strange and said, "Go back to your own home, find your own mother, resist strictness, and go home for the New Year." β
At the same time, Lu Tianxiang and the rest of the committee members gathered in the conference room.
"Old Lu, you have to get an idea." Sun Dalei said.
"Daigo empowerment." Lu Tianxiang said slowly, "In vain, I Lu Tianxiang is a fool, I call myself an expert, and my knowledge is far inferior to that of a junior who has been standing for a long time." I have decided to resign from all positions on the Committee. Ladies and gentlemen, do it yourself. β
The Spring Festival has arrived. Less than half of the more than 1,000 Ming Dynasty people went home for the New Year, and more than half stayed in Yulin Bay, because many of them were refugees from Guangzhou and had nowhere to go. Originally, the committee decided to have only three days off, but from the beginning of the year, whether it was the Ming Dynasty or the travelers, they had no heart to work, so the committee had to decide to start from the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month and put it on the seventh day of the first month.
This is the first Spring Festival after the crossing, in order to relieve the homesickness that the travelers may break out again, and at the same time in order to be able to envelop the Ming Dynasty people in Yulin Bay, the committee decided to hold a big Spring Festival this time. Since childhood, streamers and lanterns have been hung all over Yulin Bay. In order to catch up with the peak of consumption at the end of the year, Huang Yuansheng's restaurant and business opened in advance, and Huang Yuansheng also stayed in Yulin Bay for the New Year. Early in the morning of the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, as soon as the sky was bright, there was a long queue at the door of Huang Yuansheng's auspicious business. All the people of the Ming Dynasty were 5 catties of meat, half a catty of oil, and 1 catty of wine per person. Yulin Bay didn't have the energy to buy, so it was all entrusted to Huang Yuansheng.
Everyone else was carrying baskets and bags to receive things, but Ye Sunquan came directly with a wheelbarrow. Ye Sunquan has earned 5,6 taels of silver in the past few months, and when he has money in his pocket, he has to enjoy it.
"Master, you're here, you're old and rich." Huang Sanxiang greeted Ye Sunquan hard.
Ye Sunquan didn't react at once: "What did you call me just now?" β
"Master. Now who in this Yulin Bay doesn't know your master. I've prepared your old stuff for you, and I'll move it to you later. Huang Sanxiang finished complimenting and began to sell the goods vigorously, "Look at what else you need, we have all of them, or you can tear up a few feet of cloth and make a new dress for the children for the New Year." β
Ye Sunquan was sent to the clouds by Huang Sanxiang's words, and unconsciously straightened his chest, opened his voice and said in a voice that could be heard by everyone around: "Borrow the auspicious words of the Huang shopkeeper." But it's been a few months of hard work, and it's time to relax after the New Year. Thanks to the old men of Yulin Bay, there are also some scattered silver in this pocket, and the yellow shopkeeper will not think my silver is broken for a while. β
"Look at what you keep saying." Huang Sanxiang turned to one side, "Master Quan, please inside." β
"Hmph, the villain has a will." Ye Sun Quan was just about to enter the house, but he heard someone behind him.
Ye Sunquan couldn't help but be furious: "Who is so short-sighted, you have to get along with me?" β
turned around, but saw Wu Chengzong also standing in the crowd, and there were several people from the construction team next to him, who also pushed a wheelbarrow.
Ye Sun Quanden was angry: "Wu Chengzong, you have to find fault with me, right?" β
Wu Chengzong snorted lightly: "I'm talking to myself, can you handle it?" β
"Master Quan, Master Wu." Huang Sanxiang hurriedly stood between the two, "This New Year's Day, give me a face, it's not good for the old man to know." β
Ye Sunquan pushed Huang Sanxiang away, and was about to get angry, but saw Ye Da hurriedly running over from not far away.
"Boss, you've come just in time. Teach me a lesson, this guy. β
"Dad, don't make trouble." Ye Da lowered his voice and said, "I'm on duty, don't make it difficult for me." β
"Huh." Wu Chengzong smiled at the subordinates next to him, "The way of the world has really changed, and Lao Tzu has to listen to his son." β
"Master Quan, Master Quan, come in and have a look, the new cotton cloth is good." Huang Sanxiang dragged Ye Sunquan into the house with a drag.
This episode between the two did not affect the interest of others. In addition to the New Year's goods per person, all the people in Yulin Bay got their due wages. After a few months of hard work, the family always has to pull new clothes for the Buddha children, and wear a few months of nondescript 29 overalls, and the New Year always has to wear the clothes of the Ming Dynasty, although the clothes of the Ming Dynasty are indeed not as convenient as 29 overalls. If you are single, you are full and the whole family is not hungry, although you don't have to worry about that, but you have to be worthy of your stomach, and you always have to let go of your belly and eat wine and meat for a few days. The door of the auspicious business gradually became lively, and those who selected goods, bargained, went and came, and they were puzzled.
Sun Tianhao, Xia Yang, Di Chong and others stood not far away and looked at these Ming Dynasty people with happy faces.
"Alas, the down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken." Sun Tianhao patted his pocket.
Xia Yang looked at him strangely: "Who is down, are you down?" I think you're much better than a chicken. β
"Hey, Lao Xia, are you praising me or scolding me? Look at people, it's the New Year, don't say anything, you can buy whatever you want, look at us. Sun Tianhao tore open the pocket of his clothes: "It's empty." β
"That's right." Di Chong nodded, "Don't say anything else, just those Ming Dynasty people in our construction group, sit in the teahouse after work, chat, drink tea, and eat whatever you want." It's like us, the canteen has only a few things all day long, radish pickles, pickles and turnips. I have a big team leader, and if I want to improve the food, I have to ask them to borrow money, what do you call it? β
"You're good, at least someone will lend you for you." Sun Tianhao said, "What about me, it sounds good, the leader of the trade group, and I'm still alone." β
"Hey, have you heard?" Xia Yang said.
"What did you hear?" Sun Tianhao and Di Chong asked at the same time.
"I've heard that the committee has discussed that rationing may be abolished after the New Year. Tianhao, you live in the same room with Xu Lang, he didn't tell you? β
"Him?" Sun Tianhao pursed his mouth, "He doesn't know what he's busy with now, he doesn't say a few words when he goes back every day, he writes all day long, and he doesn't let me read it." β
"He's not really leaving, is he?" Di Chong asked.
"Let's go? No way. Where is he going? Sun Tianhao shook his head again and again, "But don't say it, I really admire him after being in contact with him for the past few months." I also did business for a few years in my previous life, and I haven't seen anyone, whether it is now or in my previous life, there are not many people like him who still insist on their beliefs. β
"yes." Xia Yang and Di Chong nodded frequently, "Xu Lang is capable and willing to take responsibility, but he is a little tough." β
"Is the committee really going to be all down?" Di Chong asked again.
"I guess so." Xia Yang replied, "Lu Lao said that he was going to resign, but he didn't do it anymore, who is embarrassed to leave with a shy face." β
"So what are we going to do, are we all down too?"
"We won't do it all, but there may be adjustments." Sun Tianhao said.
"How do you know?"
Xu Lang said. The convention only stipulates that the committee is changed every six months, and does not stipulate how the head of the committee is to be changed. According to him, we call them professionals. Sun Tianhao rubbed his hands, "Anyway, this matter is very troublesome, I guess I will have to make noise during the meeting." β
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the entire Yulin Bay became a sea of joy. From noon, flowing water mats were set up in the open space outside the earthen wall. Huang Sanxiang worked hard for this meal for 3 days, and almost all the women in Yulin Bay went to help. The committee spent a lot of money on chickens, ducks, pigs, cows, sheep, fish, vegetables, eggs, wine, and all of them were enough. It seems that after eating this meal, the next year will not be over. Huang Yuansheng's mouth was almost behind his ears again, and he earned 200 taels of silver for this meal alone
All the traversers were scattered and mixed with the Ming Dynasty. Lin Zhaolong had already drunk 3 tables in a row, and at this time he was pulling a Ming Dynasty man he didn't know with his tongue open: "You, you, righteousness, it was your brother who made this cup." β
Sun Tianhao shook his arm and shouted to Ye Sunquan: "Hello brothers, five leaders." Drink, drink. β
Seeing that Ye Sunquan drank the wine in the bowl, Sun Tianhao turned to Ye Da again: "Come, let's have a punch too, how are the brothersγγγγγγ β
"Wait." Sun Tianhao seemed to remember something again, and shook his head, "I'm a brother with you." He pointed to Ye Sunquan next to him, "He is also a brother, so what are you two?" β
Xu Lang, who was sitting on the side, said straightforwardly: "Who said you were drunk, don't you know it very well." β
Sun Tianhao was thinking about the relationship between the Ye family's father and son, Zeng Guangxian and Han Wantao walked to the dock of Yulin Bay.
"Password!"
"Chinese New Year's Eve."
A sentry "horn" stands upright.
Zeng Guangxian and Han Wantao returned a salute: "Zhou Lei, you are on duty." What's the situation? β
"Report to the two team leaders, everything is normal. The only thing is, when am I going to eat? β
Zeng Guangxian and Han Wantao laughed: "Don't worry, you have something to eat, it's enough today." β
Zeng Guangxian put on a serious expression: "Pay attention to vigilance." β
"Yes!"
The temperature in Hainan in winter during the Xiaoice River period was still a little low, but under the stimulation of alcohol, no one felt cold. It's just that there are far fewer people watching fireworks on the beach at night than eating at noon, because many people are already sleeping under the table. The fireworks and firecrackers of the Ming Dynasty have a fairly high level of production, and there are hundreds of varieties, which can show realistic patterns such as flowers and plants. There are even "fires" that can fly into the sky; "Triple Wave Waves" that make a sound after flying into the sky, and so on. The committee bought several hundred taels of silver from Yazhou and set off fireworks overnight, almost sweeping away the fireworks in Yazhou.
Sun Jiayi followed behind He Yun and Tan Jing, laughing loudly while covering her ears. All people exude satisfaction and happiness from the bottom of their hearts, how many years, there has never been such a fat year.
Early the next morning, under the leadership of Lu Tianxiang, the committee began to worship one by one.
"Shopkeeper Huang has a good New Year. No, it's time to call you Boss Huang. Lu Tianxiang smiled and saluted Huang Yuansheng.
"Old Lu, it's time for me to go and pay your New Year's greetings." Huang Yuansheng also learned from the traversers to call Lu Lao, "You also came to the door in person and killed Huang." β
He Yun and Tan Jing brought the people of the Women's Federation to the garment group. Where there are ducks, there is a lot of dung, and where there are women, there is a lot of talk. This sentence is suitable whether it is placed in the mouth of Qian Zhongshu more than 300 years later, or in the Ming Dynasty. The noise of these women could be heard even from the construction team from afar.
Every place in Yulin Bay is full of laughter.
