Reborn in Hong Kong in 1982. In this year, the four major foreign trading houses were gradually declining. The top ten financial magnates and the four major families had already stepped onto the hi...
After burning incense and praying at Wong Tai Sin Temple, Mo Zhexuan and his group went to visit the flower market, preparing to decorate their home.
In Hong Kong, it is a custom for every household to buy flowers to decorate their homes during the Chinese New Year, which symbolizes great achievements in the coming year, icing on the cake, etc.
The flower market has all kinds of flowers, including the auspicious and prosperous kumquat, the "Queen of Flowers" Phalaenopsis, the sword-shaped gladiolus, and the shimmering silver willow...
While enjoying the fragrance of various flowers, Mo Zhexuan and others made large purchases. They bought more than a dozen or even dozens of pots of different kinds of flowers, determined to decorate the mansion into a flower paradise.
This is the benefit of money. Money can solve 99% of the troubles in the world, and the other 1% can be solved with more money.
After visiting the flower market, the group went to Victoria Park in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Island, to watch the lion dance event.
Lion dance, also known as lion awakening, has always been one of the most popular and traditional performances in Hong Kong. During the New Year holidays, all Hong Kong people will celebrate the Spring Festival by watching lion dance performances.
In Hong Kong, lion dancing is mostly done by one person dancing the lion's head and one person dancing the lion's tail. Unlike in northern mainland China where two people work together to dance a big lion, one person dancing the lion's head and one person dancing the lion's tail is undoubtedly more convenient in a small space.
After arriving at the playground of Victoria Park, Mo Zhexuan and others were shocked by the huge crowds of people. The dozens of large lions of various colors on the scene were particularly eye-catching and bright.
"Dad! Is that a lion? So majestic and strong." Mo Honghan rode on Mo Zhexuan's shoulders, and looked at the pairs of dancing lions with curiosity in his big eyes. They were as lively as a group of jumping elves.
"Yes!" Mo Zhexuan nodded with a smile, secretly thanking himself for bringing so many bodyguards with him today, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to squeeze in. After squeezing into a good position, he immediately said to Wang Yalin:
"Brother Wang! Go over there and buy us some oranges and lettuce."
"OK."
When performing lion dances in the New Year, citizens usually prepare oranges, tangerines and common lettuces, which will be received by the dancing lions because these items have special meanings and represent the creation of wealth.
Ten minutes later, Wang Yalin bought two convenient bags of oranges and lettuce. Everyone distributed them one by one, and then each prepared a red envelope.
Three lions, mainly red, white and black in appearance, came striding over quickly, posing like cats and looking exceptionally docile. Finally, they blinked their eyes, which sometimes flickered, and opened their bloody mouths.
"Dad, I'll come in person!" Mo Honghan took the red envelope he had packed, quickly tied it together with a bunch of lettuce, stretched out his chubby little hands and threw it into the mouth of a red and white lion.
After a while, the majestic and tall lion spit out the lettuce. Mo Zhexuan took it and handed it to his son. The person holding the lion-spitted lettuce will be considered to have good luck in the new year.
At 6 o'clock in the evening, Mo Zhexuan and his family prepared a sumptuous dinner in their mansion at 33 Repulse Bay. Under the beautiful moonlight, they ate the reunion dinner while admiring the bright lights of the Hong Kong River.
After happily finishing the reunion dinner, Lilia, Guan Jiahui, Mo Zhexuan, and Wang Yalin, exactly four people, put together a set of mahjong and started playing Thirteen Yao. As for Mo Honghan, he watched an animation disc with Wang Jun.
When it was 9 o'clock in the evening, the four people did not choose to continue playing mahjong, but sat in front of the TV to watch the annual Celebrate Tonight hosted by TVB Jade Channel.
Since TVB launched the "Celebrate Tonight: Hong Kong and Taiwan Celebrate the New Year" program in 1980, this program has become more and more popular year by year and has become a must-watch for Hong Kong citizens.
As stars such as Shen Dianying, Liao Qizhi, and Wang Mingquan took the stage one after another, the show officially began. Mo Zhexuan had seen some clips from 1984 in his previous life and knew that this was the most luxurious evening party.
Because the superstars at that time were all young and handsome, you can not only see their beautiful faces in their youth, but also see the unique skills they practiced hard.
"Dad! I want to go see Snow White!" Mo Honghan had just seen the scene where Snow White was poisoned by the evil queen when he was pulled over by Mo Zhexuan. Naturally, he was very unhappy, with a droopy face full of grievance.
"Tangyuan! Today is the day for our family to reunite. Let's watch the gala together now, and then we'll eat Tangyuan together. How about your favorite?"
Mo Zhexuan sometimes really feels that there is a divine will in all things. His son's nickname is Tangyuan, and he didn't expect that the little guy really has a special liking for Tangyuan and likes to eat it very much.
"Okay! I want to eat crab meat dumplings." Mo Honghan licked his lips, and his expression gradually changed from unhappy to cheerful.
"Tangyuan! Aunt Guan wants to test you! Do you know what the special meaning of your nickname is?" Guan Jiahui touched her gradually bulging belly, a hint of disappointment appeared on her face, and then she asked with anticipation.
"Let me think about it. I heard everyone talking about having a reunion dinner tonight. I think it should mean reunion!" Mo Honghan thought for a moment, blinking his big eyes and gave his answer.
"So smart! Absolutely right. Mom will reward you with dried strawberries." Lilia's face lit up with joy when she heard that. She quickly hugged her son in her arms and took out some dried strawberries and handed them to him.
At this moment, the four kings on TV and some stars who have not yet become famous also appeared one after another. The future movie emperor Liang Chaowei, who has always been shy and timid, smiled and sang "It is not a crime to be drunk on the sword", which made everyone laugh.
Next up was Zhang Manyu, the future Oriental goddess, performing aerial acrobatics, followed by Andy Lau's high-altitude roller coaster...
The show ended at midnight, and everyone went back to their rooms to rest amidst laughter and joy. In the past, people would stay up all night on New Year's Eve, but now they basically stay up until 12 o'clock.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, people usually visit relatives to pay New Year's greetings. Since the death of his parents, Mo Zhexuan has been completely alone in Hong Kong, so he has no relatives to visit. That day, he took Mo Honghan to pay homage to his original parents.
Then, until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the whole family went to Hawaii for a good trip. We did not return to Hong Kong until the seventh day, and then officially went to work.
