"Happy New Year"

"Happy New Year"

Eight cups clinked together and congratulated each other on New Year's Day.

At home in the middle of the mountain, Aunt Liu and Zhao Anping cooperated to prepare a family dinner with Sichuan cuisine and Garu cuisine. The two families gathered together and spent New Year's Eve happily together.

"Sister, brother-in-law, red envelopes, red envelopes."

"I haven't paid any New Year yet, I want a red envelope without saying anything about my fortune?" Chen Chong smiled and patted her little hand, saying, "I wish you a happy new year to my elders first, come one by one."

"Tianbao, sit down and eat, don't mess around." Aunt Liu glared at Tianbao and said to Zhao Anping: "This is my troublemaker, and I'm not at all safe."

"As a child, you should be more lively. Being active means being energetic and in good health." Zhao Anping smiled and took out a big red paper bag and said, "Come to Tianbao, this is a red envelope for me and your aunt, I will give it to you first."

"It's better for uncle." Tianbao relied on New Year's Eve as a festive day without any big or small, ignored Aunt Liu's eyes, jumped off his seat, ran over to take the red envelope, then bowed and said a bunch of congratulations with a smile: "Uncle, aunt, good luck in the New Year, good health, happy family, wealth..."

"So cute." Jane touched her head and said in English: "It's as cute as Lily when she was a child.

Lily also took out an exquisite red envelope and gave it to Tianbao. Aunt Liu repeatedly pushed her across the table and said, "There is no such rule. If there is no such rule, Lily will put it away quickly."

"Auntie, I'm in the United States and I have nowhere to send it." Lily said with a smile: "This year, I celebrated the festival in Hong Kong for the first time. I'm looking for auspicious, Tianbao, and I'll take it."

"Don't worry too much. If you have a holiday, let the children make trouble, it will be festive." Li Tang said to Aunt Liu, then raised his glass with a smile and said, "Come on, Anping, let's have one, we haven't drunk together for more than 20 years."

"Yes, it's been more than 20 years." Zhao Anping touched him for a moment and sighed: "I remember the last time I drank, I stole it from under my brother-in-law's bed with my sister on my back..."

The previous generation talked about the past, while the younger generation looked forward to the future. After chatting with the Lily and Li Kaiyuan sisters for a while, they asked Chen Chong: "What does Beijing look like? Is it fun?"

"I can't explain it clearly. You will know what it looks like when you go." Chen Chong put down his wine glass and said, "Beijing is a great city. In everyone's eyes, it's different. You will know it when you go. It's colorful and strange, like a kaleidoscope."

"Brother-in-law, I'm going to Beijing too"

"Your brother-in-law and others are going to do serious things, what are you going to do?" Aunt Liu slapped Tianbao, who was so forgot to do, and said, "Be at home and go to school well."

This time, Zhao Anping and his family will follow Chen Chong and Li Kaiyuan to Beijing. He is a patriotic overseas Chinese who has been in the official newspaper and is a shield for Chen Chong to engage in secret operations. Jane and Lili are traveling. They are full of curiosity about Beijing.

"Alan." Lily skillfully picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks, and while carefully picking up the fish bones, she asked: "Is the travel video I recorded in Los Angeles really played on the TV station?"

"Yes." Chen Chong said with a smile: "The mainland is now in a hurry to lack English professionals. They use your one-day tour of Los Angeles as an oral textbook. They not only display it on the TV station, but also pick out the sentences and print them into textbooks for teaching reference."

Lily opened her eyes wide and said in surprise: "I just recorded it casually. Many of the words are not rigorous. How can it be used as a teaching material? And why didn't they notify me?"

"The laws in the mainland are not sound and have no copyright awareness. Besides, the communication between China and the United States is not convenient." Chen Chong picked up a spoon and scooped the soup and said, "The English textbooks in the mainland are still old products from decades ago. Many people can only write and read. Your accent is very standard, and it is better to use it as auxiliary teaching. Moreover, you are beautiful and interesting. It is very popular after the broadcast. It was replayed three or four times. It is said that the TV station has received thousands of letters to you. This time you go to Beijing, you have to prepare a big pocket to put it in."

"Really or not?"

"It's true." Chen Chong picked up a public spoon, scooped a bowl of soup, and said: "In Beijing, you are a superstar, as popular as Barbara Streisand in the United States."

Lily didn't believe it, she said with a smile: "I'm getting more and more curious about Beijing after hearing what you said. I really look forward to going there soon."

"You are lucky." Chen Chong said while drinking the soup: "I went to Beijing last year and took a green train. I got there for two or three days when I was bumpy. This time I took a plane and transferred to Shanghai. I could arrive in one day."

"Actually, I prefer to take the train." Lily said with anticipation, "You can enjoy different scenery along the way."

"Put your beautiful fantasy." Chen Chong shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying: "Training on a train in the United States may be a kind of enjoyment. Taking a train in the mainland is a kind of purgatory torture."

"Why?"

"Because the speed of the car is slow and there are many people, I like to carry bags of luggage, and there is no place to stand. It is even crowded than the sardines in canned food. Once you sit, you will lose at least several kilograms." Zhao Anping heard them and said in his mouth: "Lily, listen to Ah Chong, don't try to take the train."

"Dad, you were in the 40s and it was a war period again." Lily said skeptically: "It's been 19RU now. The last time I went to Guangzhou, I took the train. Except for the smell, everything else in the car is pretty good."

"Lily, you are in the VIP carriage." Li Kaiyuan also advised her, frowned and said, "If you don't mention anything else, it's just that kind of smell. I really can't stand it. The last time I went to Beijing, I didn't have the appetite to eat for two or three days after I sat there. Oh, don't mention this anymore. I still feel disgusting when I think about it."

"Yes, I won't mention it anymore. Anyway, I'm taking a plane this time." Chen Chong greeted: "Eat food, eat, watch the night tonight, eat more, and don't be hungry at that time."

Going to Beijing during the Spring Festival is a plan that Chen Chong has already arranged. First, he has to finish off some of the things he did last year; second, he is to build a network of relationships in the mainland. During the Cultural Congress, he met many great people and potential parties. He must take advantage of the familiarity and walk more to keep his relationships unchanged; third, the Spring Festival has always been the best time to find out the news. In the places of reform and opening up, the situation in the mainland is unpredictable, and communication between Beijing and Hong Kong is inconvenient. For a time traveler, any news may contain great opportunities, so he must go to Beijing in person; fourth, he is finalizing the participants for the Academy Awards Ceremony.
