In addition to West Point's discretion, the national celebration on New Year's Eve and Chinese New Year's Eve was booked on-site at the North Commercial Street Plaza in Long Island New District.

The Lunar New Year festival officially adopted the name of the Ming Dynasty - "Zhengdan". For the traversers, the word "Spring Festival" has been accustomed to it from childhood to adulthood, but some of the literary and young people in the Congress are clinging to the name of reviving China, and considering the identity of the immigrants of the Ming Dynasty, they have to include both terms in the legal festival names of the National Spring Festival.

The Dragon Boat Festival is set as the summer festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival is set as the autumn festival, the winter solstice is set as the winter festival, and the New Year's Day is the Spring Festival.

The large square, which was once regarded by residents as a "large barn", has been decorated one after another. Due to the generous donations of major enterprises, the cost of holding this New Year celebration has been solved by ninety, and the return to be paid is to add "acknowledgement" when broadcasting......

The Chinese immigrants of the Ming Dynasty in their early 4,000s finally showed their customs and charm in this barren North American land. The housewives have made the front of their apartment houses more beautifully decorated, and the few old craftsmen who can write and draw are surrounded by groups of residents who come to ask for couplets to ask for spring posts.

All of a sudden, these festival items, which were the most common in the East, have become the most sought-after items during the Spring Festival in the Chinese and American Republics.

A jubilant couplet and two red lanterns are hung, and the apartment with many modern and simple styles has a stronger oriental atmosphere.

Traditional things such as couplets, peach charms, spring stickers, firecrackers, and rice noodle rice cakes have also aroused great interest among European residents. Under a long-term policy of downplaying cultural belief differences. European residents are also enjoying the Spring Festival holiday, and at the same time, they are also in a lively mood to imitate and participate in these festivals that are most valued by Chinese people.

Major enterprises still obeyed the government's opinions and chose the vouchers issued by the Ministry of Civil Affairs for this year's Spring Festival benefits. According to the profit schedule, whether Chinese or European, each company issued a Lunar New Year fee worth between $5 and $10.

It is said that comparing corporate welfare has also become a means of secret competition between capitalists of major enterprises. After all, there is still a shortage of experienced middle and senior technicians, and if they can let their factory technicians go out to show off, maybe when will they be able to turn over a group of good hands in the future.

This time, Finance Minister Liu Xin was not left depressed. A simple street survey found that the consumption of Chinese residents in the Ming Dynasty finally reached a peak a week before Chinese New Year's Eve. Not only Yang Wenwen's civilian-grade clothing is on sale, but the sales of Daming silk and cloth imported from the Caribbean are also very hot. Although the price is still more than double that of Daming, the Chinese immigrants who have watched this day for a year are obviously much more bold than they were in their hometown.

The city of Shuangwan on the island of Bermuda showed its power at this time, and the first batch of vegetables and fruits produced by planting were loaded into a whole shipload and transported to the capital, adding more green to the table this Spring Festival.

Cheap corn wine and rum, expensive imported wine and brandy, and locally produced fruit wine have all become things that the citizens dare to try.

A batch of pigs, cattle and sheep from the farms under the state-owned Agriculture, Forestry, Fishery and Animal Husbandry Group were also put on the market at the right time, although the prices were higher than usual. But almost every butcher shop sells out on the same day.

According to conservative estimates, the average household consumption in the week leading up to the Chinese New Year exceeded $15, including European households, and this trend will continue for at least half a month.

Heaven, January 31, 1623. On Tuesday, after the wind and snow the night before, the weather on Chinese New Year's Eve was unusually clear.

Snow has been shoveled into the gutters on every street, and the sound of firecrackers has not stopped since daytime. The radio on the North Commercial Street Square in the Changdao New Area has been echoing festive oriental music since the early morning. Many Chinese New Year folk music, which was only born in modern times, made the Chinese citizens of the Ming Dynasty who passed by feel both familiar and unfamiliar.

In addition to sticking to the posts of the police department and the army. Almost all government departments and businesses have declared a week-long spring break.

The government's Chinese New Year's Eve tea party was held in the National Assembly Hall, where staff from various departments gathered to complete the reunion of government agencies on the last day of the Lunar New Year in the spirit of solidarity, friendship and mutual assistance.

The European clerks looked curiously at the various stickers and spring pictures on the walls around the auditorium, while the crowd walked around the large long table connected by several conference tables in the center of the auditorium.

On the long table, rice paper was spread, and several old people were splashing ink, painting, or inscriptions, which caused a group of pseudo-literary youths to applaud.

In this era, aren't these things lacking at home? Without the manuscripts of historical celebrities, you can deceive Congress or a bunch of old guys in the government, and maybe they can be passed on!

"Hey, it's a prize, it's a prize! Dare to write, smile and be generous! ”

Supreme Judge Zhong Jinshan's calligraphy is the best, a pair of cursive writing of "winter goes to spring to say goodbye to the old year", which has been greatly praised by Premier Qi Jianjun, and the old man Zhong Jinshan waved his hand humbly.

"Good words, good words! I look at Wang Xizhi in the past, and that's just the case! The old book of Zhongge, the dragon and snake leap, the Luan Xiang phoenix, can be called rare in the world! ”

As soon as the prime minister expressed his position, Tong Sheng Changkun, who is the Department of Chinese Immigration Affairs Management, hurriedly shook his head and commented on the side. As he spoke, he deliberately used his hands to manipulate the rice paper left and right, looking like a literary giant who was literate in the literary world.

Such an explicit sycophant made the old man Zhong Jinshan stunned, and his old face was half red.

On the other side, the vigorous and powerful "New Wind of Min'an Guotai Tree" by President of the Senate Liu Lao was also completed, and this time, even Su Zining, who didn't know calligraphy, couldn't help but clap his hands.

"Oops......"

Chang Kun was surprised again, his hand trembled and pointed to the desk, slowly circled, blushed, gasped, and then tidied up his clothes, and bowed solemnly to the rice paper written by Liu Lao, causing Liu Lao, Zhong Jinshan and others to look at each other.

"The pen is full of ink, the iron is painted with silver hooks, and the wood is divided into three points, and Liu Ge's heart of worrying about the country and the people jumps on the paper. The feeling of ardent governance arises spontaneously, and Chang Kun should always remember this book as an official! Cheekily begged the elder of the pavilion to give this book, Chang Kun must be hanging in the main hall, reflecting every day! ”

"Lord Sitai! Liu Ge Lao can be called the Fan Zhongyan of the world! ”

A round of applause rang out, it was Chang Kun's four followers building momentum, Chang Kun's face was full of red light, and he was quite complacent.

Chang Kun's contrived movements and expressions. It's really out of place with the people who travel through the scene, but in the end, all they say are beautiful compliments.

"Yan Xiaosong, where did you get such a superb product? I used to think that the two of us could be able to talk about it......" Su Zining stabbed the young man next to him. Whispered.

"Well, it's a less disciplined product, I'll tell him about it later." Yan Xiaosong also looked helpless.

"I think it's good. It's a person who can keep up with the upper shape shì. It's still useful to fix some faults. Su Zining smiled and stopped.

Chang Kun himself also began to paint after a period of modesty, a pair of ink landscapes, wild brushstrokes, the skills are not bad, and everyone looks attentive.

Finally, at night, the Spring Festival Celebration Square, the light pillars of eight searchlights dismantled from sea ships were used as celebration spotlights. A light bridge was erected over the square, and the street lamps around the square were temporarily connected with a group of energy-saving lamps, like plum blossoms of light in full bloom around the square.

In the distance in the army camp in the Changdao New Area, six fireworks mortar salutes lined up and began to release fireworks. There is no modern fireworks process. Basically, it is all black gunpowder salute cannons, although the color is much less, but the momentum is enough.

Many of the Chinese or European residents of the Ming Dynasty who watched the excitement in the square were shocked by the huge light and rumbling roar that unfolded above the night, and then erupted in bursts of cheers.

"The national prestige is mighty, and the spirit runs through Changhong!"

Chang Kun took his family with him. In the crowd again, it was amazed. His words caused a nod of Ying among the surrounding Chinese immigrants of the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention anything else, just this pomp, how can you see it in Daming? The "sky lantern" that is not oil or candle, and the "sound drum" that no one sings on itself, which one is not a rare thing?

Even more fun began, when a group of European girls in colorful off-the-shoulder dresses braved the freezing cold and ran into the square in a neat queue and danced to the cheerful rhythm of the square's loudspeaker.

Twisting his waist and stretching his arms, and shaking his legs with his chest straight, he saw the faces of the Ming Dynasty lords around the square, and even the European residents widened their eyes.

"Tsk, the national style is refreshing, and the people are relaxed. In my opinion, it seems to have something to do with the neon dress and phoenix dance of Daming Palace in the Tang Dynasty! ”

Chang Kun was also stunned, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still made up a good story. The surrounding residents nodded again.

I wonder if Cheng Daxiong, the program organizer of this Spring Festival and Chinese New Year's Eve celebration, will fall on the spot after hearing this.

The ensemble dance program was followed by clown juggling by several European guest actors, which drew bursts of laughter from onlookers.

Then a group of drums performed by military soldiers shocked the onlookers. Dozens of cowhide drums are neatly beating the famous drum song "Chinese Dragon" of later generations. The combination of light and heavy, tight and slow, the surging drums and the neat shouts of the soldiers are integrated.

The last drum beat fell, and all the citizens present let out a roaring cheer. Chang Kun suddenly felt that his palms were cold, only to realize that he had involuntarily clenched his fists just now, and now his palms were full of sweat.

"The tiger protects the country and the country, and makes contributions to the marquis of ten thousand households! That's how a husband should be! Chang Kun secretly praised.

The music starts again, this time in a distinctly different style, melodious and soothing, with the sound of a flute, and then suddenly the trumpets and drums are accompanied by rhythm. This time, there were no actors, but live music directly from the radio station's broadcast studio.

……

Ask what is the most beautiful thing in the world, love is definitely a miracle.

I knew there would be a heart waiting for me in the distance.

I'm going to find you, North, South, East and West, and my intuition will guide me.

If I fall in love with you, I will recognize you at first sight, no matter what the reason is.

I'm going to find you, call out your name, and open the box of happiness.

Let me find you, and from that moment on, I will go all the way all the way for a lifetime.

……

The dynamic "I Want to Find You" is a new song that Jenny has been practicing hard for nearly a month. Regardless of whether the theme is related to this Chinese New Year's Eve, and how shameful the lyrics are in this era, Jenny's unique fine soft voice is actually sweet under the fast tempo.

Whether they are Chinese or European, they are all brought by the sweet and cheerful songs, and they can't help but clap their hands along with the rhythm.

"The people's sentiment is hot, all people are united, my China, the United States and the DPRK, it's not simple......"

Seeing the eldest daughter beside him, she was actually singing quietly on the side, and Chang Kun couldn't help but bow her head slightly.

In the military fortress of West Point, on the playground surrounded by canvas, hundreds of officers and soldiers sat around the central campfire, quietly listening to the cheerful songs on the radio.

Rifles and mortars were set up in front of the soldiers in an orderly manner, and even the newly equipped large "pipe organ" 37-tube machine gun stood gloomily on the side of the field.

Even though the military discipline was strict and no one made a sound lightly, almost every soldier tapped his knees neatly to the rhythm.

"I'm going to find you, call out your name, and open the box of happiness. Let me find you, and from that moment on, all the way all the way to the end......"

Scott sang softly in a voice that he could barely hear, and the radio horn in his eyes seemed to show Jenny's shy smile again.

Loud applause erupted, and the Chinese, European, or Indian soldiers cheered all day, clapping their hands desperately, and the officers laughed and clinked glasses with each other.

"Jenny is the princess of our West Point, a goddess!" Corporal Jonah, who had been in the army for a year and a half, was much bolder than he had been at the beginning, and actually stood up with his own jug full of wine.

Dozens of soldiers from West Point also stood up at the same time, and one of them pulled Scott up from the ground.

"That's good! In the words of Corporal Makarov, this chick is very tasty. Qiaoxi, what do you think? Why didn't you hear Cui Ya sing back then? Seeing the European comrades-in-arms cheering, Yu Shan took a sip of the spicy corn wine in the kettle, and muttered to the night sky in a foggy manner.

"Come on, you learn everything slowly, just learn the corporal to speak the most!" Qiao gnawed on the cob and glanced at his fellow countrymen.

"It would be nice if you lived like this every day, with meat, food and clothes to wear, of course, training doesn't count!" Yu Shan snatched the other party's cherished corn cob and took a bite, and forced his own wine to be stuffed, "You said, we are going to fight in a few days, why do you want to choose us for the New Year?" ”

"Corporal Makarov said, it's all because we even have a complaining idiot......" Qiao Yan also learned Makarov's expression, deliberately shaking his head.

"Stop! I'm complaining about our little life! Yu Shan was angry, snatched back the wine, looked at the other party angrily, and then lowered his head, "In case I die, Qiao Yan, you have to help me erect a monument, so that my mother can find me in the future......"

"Frustrated, didn't you hear Sergeant Scott say, those natives are not our opponents at all, they defeated hundreds of people in the past few dozen people! Look at that, what's it called? Erhu or Pipa? Qiao Yan turned his head to look around and pointed to the "Organ" pipe machine gun in the distance.

"It's stupid, it's called the 'Organ' tube machine gun, tsk, the last training, it scared me, and I fired more than a dozen bullets in a breath!" Yu Shan finally regained his sense of superiority.

"Well, yes, organ! There are a few of those things, and I guess even the cavalry of the East slaves outside the Guanwai can't get up! ”

Just as the two of them were muttering to the weapons on the side of the field, new music floated from the radio speakers.

With the accompaniment of several metal percussion instruments, this is Cheng Daxiong's own flute solo "Love in the Snow".

The melodious and clear sound of the flute, echoing in the night sky, penetrated the dense forests and mountains, and slowly drifted north... (To be continued)
