Chapter 59: New Year's Plans
After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the street lamps that had just been installed for use also played an important role tonight. When night falls, it is still early to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and many children have begun to visit the door to ask for New Year's bags.
Compared with the inland New Year's bags for children, most of them are given to neighbors or related children. In the fishing village, as long as a child enters the door on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, each adult will give a New Year's bag. How much is different, but it can represent the villagers who love each other.
Just finished eating, looking at the few children who were standing at the door of his house and hesitated, Xu Haibao also smiled and said: "Zhuzi, you have eaten well? What are you doing standing at the door, come in quickly!"
"Hello Uncle Bao, hello Grandpa Yan! Happy New Year!"
Looking at the children who were called in, you and I said auspicious words one by one, Xu Liyan also smiled and said: "Baowa, do you have any preparations for the New Year's bag? Xiaoya, get some candy for these babies." ”
For many people in fishing villages, they are guests when they enter the door. What's more, on such a festive day, there are children who come in to ask for New Year's money, which also shows that their own popularity is relatively strong. Giving a few New Year's bags is naturally nothing.
Xu Haibao, who bought a lot of red envelopes in the city before, smiled and went into the house to pack a few New Year's bags, and after giving one to each of these children, he also said with a smile: "Study hard! Don't spend the New Year's money for you, you know?"
"Got it, thank you Uncle Bao!"
Some people call themselves Uncle Bao, and some children call themselves Bao Ye. Listening to the various names of these children, Xu Haibao was also a little crying and laughing. can talk about generation, Xu Haibao is indeed a grandfather for some small characters!
In the face of these children who are looking forward to the New Year every year, Xu Haibao also knows that the Spring Festival is undoubtedly the most anticipated for the children in the village. As soon as the Chinese New Year arrives, these children gather together one after another, and go to each family in groups to ask for New Year's bags.
Even if some people have a family, most of them wrap a piece of two packs, and occasionally some people wrap five pieces and ten pieces. But if the whole village is transferred down, the amount of New Year's bags these children receive in one night is actually quite a lot.
Listening to the child who got the red envelope, he left quickly, and a child in the yard said happily: "Wow, it's 20 yuan! Uncle Bao is so generous, tonight the bag has the most New Year's money." Let's go, go to Grandpa Cheng's house to beg for the New Year's bag. ”
Under normal circumstances, most of the children who beg for the New Year's bag are children under the age of 10. Most of the ten-year-olds are embarrassed to go door-to-door to ask for this kind of exclusive children's New Year's bag.
It's just that many children study in the town and city, and they are still very clear about the role of money. Even if some children get a lot of New Year's bags, they may be confiscated by their parents as soon as they show off their home.
But no matter what, such an experience is enough to make their childhood full of joy. And this kind of visit also makes these children have a greater sense of belonging to the village. After all, if you are not from this village, you can't get this kind of New Year's bag!
Send away a batch, and another batch will come later. For the children in the village, the flow of news between them is also very fast. Knowing that Xu Haibao's New Year's bag had 20 yuan, many children ran to Xu Haibao's house first.
For these children, they are also afraid that they will be late, and the New Year's bag is estimated to be not their share. Once upon a time, Xu Haibao, who was also like these children, actually missed the carefree days when he was a child.
Although in those days, most of the New Year's bags that could be obtained were a few dimes or cents. But no matter how much money there is, this kind of joy of dismantling and pressing the New Year's bag still makes Xu Haibao nostalgic. It's just that now, naturally, I can't feel it.
Along with the children in the village, the prelude to the Chinese New Year's Eve visit began, and many adults who had a good Chinese New Year's Eve dinner also began to gather in twos and threes. As far as Xu Haibao is concerned, he doesn't have much interest in visiting today.
Although in the past few days since he returned to the village, some people have pulled him to play cards from time to time, but Xu Haibao has mostly refused. For him, if he has this all-night time to play cards, it is better to spend more time with his family and stay at home to sleep!
Looking at his father who went out, Xu Haibao didn't say much. For him, the Spring Festival Gala that will start tonight is actually not much to look forward to. But staying at home with my mother is actually not bad for villagers who come to the door.
Thinking that next year is the legendary apocalyptic year, Xu Haibao knew that there was a doomsday movie, but he didn't feel the end. And this year's Spring Festival Gala was later rumored by many people to be the Spring Festival Gala with the most supernatural events.
As for the truth, maybe only those keyboard warriors on the Internet know!
After the Spring Festival Gala started, my father, who went out to visit the house, also came back. For many villagers in the fishing village, the Spring Festival Gala is also one of their favorite programs. Even the program of the Spring Festival Gala is complained about a lot every year.
But most of the people who really love to complain are young people, and the emergence of the Internet era has made young people have more requirements for programs. But for many elderly villagers, watching the Spring Festival Gala on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve has become a habit.
Xu Haibao, who spent the New Year in the city in his previous life, was called outside by Chen Xingcheng after eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Now that I have returned to the village for the Chinese New Year, there is not much I can do at home unless I go to someone to play cards and chat.
After all, on the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, even if the wind and waves are calm, no one will sail to the town or other places to play. On Chinese New Year's Eve in the fishing village, the activity area is more confined to this island.
Young people who don't want to watch TV mostly get together in groups to play cards. Xu Haibao was still interested in his previous life, but after he was reborn, he really had no interest in this kind of gambling game.
Whether you lose or win, Xu Haibao doesn't think it's interesting. With this effort, it is better to stay at home and watch the Spring Festival Gala with your family, and chat by the way. After all, after the New Year, my parents and sister don't have much time at home.
Although Xu Haibao intended to ask his parents to resign and return to the village, his parents still did not agree. In his father's words, unless Xu Haibao's tourism is booming, their jobs can't be resigned casually.
Even if you put away the porcelain at home, you can get a lot of money if you sell one piece. But for Xu's father, he still hopes that Xu Haibao can earn wealth through other means. When you sell antiques, you will sell out one day.
Xu Qingya, who was looking at the sketch 'interview', suddenly said: "Brother, I heard on the Internet that there is no sketch by Uncle Zhao Shanben in this year's Spring Festival Gala, is it true?"
"You ask me, I'll ask who to go! Guo Guangtou's sketch is also good!"
"Without Uncle Yamamoto's Spring Festival Gala, I always feel a little regretful!"
"Uncle Yamamoto is old, and he is also a professional household of the Spring Festival Gala, so it's normal to let the family take a break this year!"
Xu Haibao, who said this, knew in his heart that the Spring Festival Gala would be in the future, but he didn't have the opportunity to see Uncle Yamamoto. Even in the near future, this sketch king, who has many fans among the people, will fall into round after round of trouble.
It's just that compared with the troubles in the entertainment industry, Xu Haibao knows that in the new year, the domestic marine situation will also undergo great changes. The dispute over Yudao and Rock Island will also cause the country to pay more attention to maritime security and control.
In order to strengthen the regulation of the sea, the country will set up a youngest prefecture-level city in the South China Sea. Even because of the changes in the surrounding maritime situation, the country has begun to increase investment in the navy.
The first modified aircraft carrier in China will also officially join the naval combat sequence next year. From then on, the Huaxia Navy will also truly enter the sequence of the blue water navy from coastal defense.
Thinking of these, Xu Haibao feels that next year will be a memorable year for many people. The dispute surrounding Yudao will also once again provoke the hatred of the Chinese people for the Sun Country, and a round of smashing incidents will break out that shocked the Chinese people.
But Xu Haibao has gone through these things more in his mind. He can't help much with these national affairs, and the most important thing is to manage his own one-third of an acre. Next year will also be a very crucial year for him.
Whether the villagers can feel the benefits of tourism development, and whether the municipal and town governments can realize that Fulin Island is suitable for island tourism, depends on Xu Haibao's efforts to improve. Of course, the amount of money invested is not too small.
Thinking about his previous life, he was more involved in major salvage companies, and Xu Haibao didn't really know much about business management and other matters. Whether he can do this career or not, Xu Haibao also feels that he needs to study more and work harder.
Regarding the island tourism development company, Xu Haibao plans to hire a manager to manage it on his behalf. As for the company engaged in salvage, Xu Haibao also needs to think carefully. In China, if you want to open such a company, it will not work without connections.
This also means that if Xu Haibao wants to start a shipwreck salvage company next year, he can only choose to register in other countries. In addition, I am afraid that it will not be possible to engage in shipwreck salvage operations in domestic waters in a short period of time.
Compared with foreign laws on shipwreck salvage, domestic laws on shipwreck salvage are relatively vague. But if you want to enter the foreign marine shipwreck salvage market, there will inevitably be a dragon fight.
After all, the shipwreck salvage industry is far less full of surprises than others think. In fact, any newly established shipwreck salvage company needs to beware of the dangers and sanctions that may be encountered at any time when entering the waters of other countries!
