Chapter 235 Harmony and Beauty

The brother and sister were busy all day before they kept the house in order. Azhen first sat on the sofa in the living room and waited with Xiaoling to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

Dong Yi was lying on the lounge chair in the living room and watching his novel happily.

This is something he deserves to be grateful for. Fortunately, the novels he read in his previous life were all online articles, otherwise he would not even have some entertainment now.

watch TV?

There are indeed countless TV series and movies of this era, but in the eyes of Dong Yi, who has experienced the baptism of information explosion in his previous life, it is equivalent to chewing wax and eating it tastes boring!

It’s okay to listen to music, but you can’t listen to music every day!

Dong Yi was not interested in playing games and playing arcades. In front of three masterpieces in his previous life, this arcade was really boring.

Dong Yi’s entertainment methods are really scarce today. Only by reading novels from this era can he be immersed in it.

Apart from Xiaoling, the family is immersed in the joy of celebrating the Spring Festival and doing nothing.

Dong Biao is also very busy. After all, as the West District Chief Superintendent, some favors are inevitable. He has been busy attending dinners these two days.

Fat mother is busy making the New Year’s Eve dinner!

The New Year’s Eve dinner in Hong Kong Island requires a lot of energy than making dumplings in the north. Any family that pays attention to will spend a lot of effort preparing the meal for the family on New Year’s Eve.

In terms of food, Fat Mom is a very particular person. This can be seen from her figure. She has been busy for a week in order to prepare this reunion dish.

Traditional culture attaches importance to human ethics. The most important program for the Hong Kong New Year is of course the family having a reunion dinner and greetings together.

During the New Year in Hong Kong, a family of three or five are gathered in groups, eating authentic New Year-style pots with a lively atmosphere is just like eating dumplings in the north. It is a custom passed down from generation to generation!

Pot vegetables, typical South China cuisine!

The upper layer is usually placed with high-end ingredients such as abalone, prawns, oysters, fermented oysters, etc., then add mushrooms, hair vegetables, etc., braised pork in the middle layer, and the bottom layer is squid, branches, bamboo and other ingredients that are easy to absorb the soup.

A large pot of food is just prepared and then made, and it is really impossible to take down without taking some time.

As time went by, as the evening approached, Dong Biao returned home. Seeing this, the fat mother asked: "I have prepared the pot of vegetables, can you still eat them?"

Dong Biao took off his coat, hung it on the clothes hanger, and sat on the sofa: "Of course I can eat it, I'm so hungry!"

Xiaoling was puzzled by the side: "Dad, aren't you having a party with your former colleagues? How come you can still be hungry!"

"There is no way. Those old guys are like me. They have to attend many parties before the Chinese New Year. They are all old and are starting to maintain their health. In the past, they used to be big fish and meat and never return home without getting drunk. Now they have changed to drinking tea!

After a day, I didn’t eat a few bites, but I ran to the toilet a lot!”

Speaking of this, Dong Biao picked up the remote control and turned on the TV. At this moment, a message was broadcast on the TV news. Outside a bank building, a group of depositors were crying and shouting, dying!

On the TV screen, many people gathered outside the bank gate, crying for their parents, showing miserable faces. The voice of the host came from the screen: "According to the latest news, the head of the HSBC Bank in Hong Kong was killed in the explosion of Longxin Building, and it was revealed that there was a major internal crisis in internal funds. It was declared bankruptcy today!

The deposits of many depositors evaporated overnight, and the economic losses of depositors are expected..."

Seeing this, Dong Biao and fat mother were stunned and turned her head to look at Dong Yi, who was obsessed with the novel not far away.

Dong Biao said: "Ayi, look, HSBC Bank is going bankrupt!"

Dong Yi took away the novel in front of him, and the mysterious stared with his eyes and wondered: "HSBC? What HSBC!"

"It's the HSBC Bank that you cried and asked me to withdraw the money from it!"

Dong Yi suddenly stood up straight, immediately got up and came to the TV, muttering: "Tsk tsk tsk... What a guy, such a big bank goes bankrupt if it goes bankrupt. It's really impermanent. I'm sorry for these people who deposit money. I don't know how many Hong Kong islanders can only survive by relying on aid to comprehensive aid!"

Dong Biao sighed when he heard this: "Yes! It's really true that no matter what era, most of the people who suffer from risks in the end are ordinary people!"

Fat mother looked at the sad look of father and son, and smiled and comforted her: "Okay, don't be sad about spring and autumn, look at it, money is external to everything, and wealth is happy. As long as we are happy, it is more important than anything else!

Although our family cannot compare with those truly rich families, we have also lived a good life, and we are more than better than the best than the best!"

Dong Biao sighed: “That’s right!

The most important thing is to live happily with the family. I have an excellent son, two beautiful daughters, and my wife is so understanding. If I can live to this point, what else can I feel dissatisfied with!

OK, I won’t watch TV anymore, my wife, let’s have the reunion dinner!”

Then the family sat happily on the dining table of the restaurant. The fat mother took out the pot of vegetables that had been prepared long ago, and the five people started to have a big feast.

"Come on, Ayi, Azhen, Xiaoling, you eat big prawns, laugh haha!"

Dong Biao picked up the prawns from the pot of vegetables and put them into the bowls of the three brothers and sisters.

The pronunciation of "shrimp" in Cantonese is the same as that of "ha" in Mandarin

"Thank you, dad, I wish you good things to make money from vegetables, oysters, and mom." Dong Yi and his sister put oysters into their parents' bowls.

The pronunciation of "oyster bean" in Cantonese is the same as that of Mandarin.

In the expectations of each household, pots of vegetables are fryed, cooked, braised and fried, and served on one dining table. They are not only tasted, but also for a "harmony".

The taste is harmonious, and the family is in tidy, and they eat a lot of pots, reunion and beautiful pots. Besides, all the good intentions of the previous year are the standard for the New Year.

The five people were eating and chatting, and the fat mother immediately said, "By the way, Azhen, Ayi remember to get up earlier tomorrow!"

Azhen wondered: "What's the matter with Mom?"

"What else can be done...

Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Before dawn, you and Ayi will grab the first incense for me!

Remember to come back after burning the incense, and we still have to go to pay New Year’s greetings!”

On the first day of the Chinese New Year, every household in Hong Kong will go to grab the first incense, hoping that the coming year will be smooth. Generally, they go to the Wong Tai Sin Temple to burn incense. This is the most intense activity during the Chinese New Year, and it is comparable to going to the battlefield in war.

In fact, in the middle of the 30th day of the New Year, many people arrived early outside the Wong Tai Sin Temple waiting for the early morning, hoping to present the first incense stick to the temple as the first day of the New Year.

Dong Yi shook his head: "Why are you robbing such an incense stick? It's crowded and tired, and you have to get up early in the morning!"

"What do you know? Just go if you ask me to go!" Fat mother was so angry.

Dong Biao immediately reminded: "Amin's parents, then you should remember to visit the New Year!"

Dong Yi nodded: "On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Amin and I have discussed it and go to her house to visit her parents!"
