Chapter 572 New Year's Day
For Chinese people, Chinese New Year is the most grand festival of the year. In economically developed Hong Kong, Chinese New Year is a grand and lively carnival, and setting off fireworks is the most brilliant chapter of this carnival.
The night sky of New Year's Eve slowly fell like a huge piece of black silk, and the whole city seemed to be gently awakened by an invisible hand and gradually began to boil.
The streets are filled with the aroma of the New Year’s Eve dinner, which is the taste of home and the taste of reunion.
At the urging of Wang Yuanchao and Liu Mei, the three little kids at home hurriedly swallowed the last bite of delicious food, and then couldn't wait to grab the fireworks that had been prepared long ago, and rushed to the fireworks display point on the lawn, chirping like a group of happy little birds.
This year's New Year's Eve was very lively at Wang Yuanchao's home. In addition to Wang Yuanchao, Liu Qianqian and other four daughters, and the family of the three little girls,
A New Year's Eve dinner was also arranged for the maid, gardener, cook and Wang Yuanchao's personal bodyguard.
After night fell, a 22-inch color TV was placed in front of Wang Yuanchao's house. "Happy Tonight" was playing on the TV. People at three tables in Wang Yuanchao's house were having New Year's Eve dinner together. While eating the sumptuous meal, they listened to Xu Guanjie singing "Here Comes the God of Wealth" on TV. Everyone was very happy.
““The God of Wealth has arrived, the God of Wealth has arrived, good deeds will be rewarded!”
For this New Year's Eve dinner, Wang Yuanchao specially took out six geese weighing 10 to 20 kilograms from the space and personally instructed Master Liu to add a dish of stewed geese in an iron pot to the New Year's Eve dinner.
Everyone ate goose stewed in an iron pot, drank Royal Salute, chatted and drank, and celebrated the day of family reunion.
At this time, the bustling night sky of Hong Kong city is just a quiet black canvas.
With a crisp "whoosh" sound, the first firework cut through the night sky, like a meteor with a long tail, instantly lighting up the darkness.
Then, with a loud "bang", fireworks bloomed in the sky, turning into countless colorful points of light, like a huge blooming flower, red like fire, pink like clouds, white like snow, illuminating the entire sky like daytime.
The sound of the cannon was like the opening horn of a grand performance, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of the entire city.
In an instant, the sounds of fireworks rang out from all directions, "crackling" and "booming", interweaving into a heart-stirring symphony.
For a moment, the whole city was covered in fireworks, and the sky became a stage for fireworks, with fireworks of various shapes and colors competing with each other for splendor.
Some are like flowers scattered by fairies, with petals fluttering down; some are like peacocks spreading their tails, with colorful feathers sparkling and dazzling; and some are like golden weeping willows, with branches swaying in the wind.
At this moment, it seemed as if people from all over the streets and alleys of Hong Kong walked out of their homes and looked up to admire this beautiful fireworks feast.
The elderly people had satisfied smiles on their faces, reminiscing about the past years; the adults enjoyed the fireworks while talking about the trivialities of life and their expectations for the new year;
The children jumped and cheered excitedly, their eyes sparkling with surprise and joy, and the firework sticks in their hands flashing faint but warm light.
Wang Yuanchao's family was naturally not left behind, and the adults in the family were still eating the New Year's Eve dinner.
With the help of their nanny, Xiaohua and the other three little kids started setting off fireworks at home.
The light of the fireworks illuminated the faces of everyone who was having the New Year’s Eve dinner, and also illuminated every corner of Repulse Bay Road.
Amidst all this splendor, the wealthy areas of Hong Kong, Repulse Bay Road and Deep Water Bay, were ignited. For a moment, the skies of every household in the entire Repulse Bay and Deep Water Bay were lit up with colorful lights. The continuous sounds of fireworks and firecrackers echoed in the valleys of Repulse Bay and Deep Water Bay. The huge sound of firecrackers brought an earth-shaking feeling to Wang Yuanchao's family. At this moment, the whole of Hong Kong, this Oriental Pearl, the entire huge city was immersed in a thick festive atmosphere. There was no trouble, no sorrow, only endless joy and happiness.
At this moment, the gorgeous fireworks not only lit up the night sky, but also warmed people's hearts.
The streets and alleys of the city are like a "fireworks factory" lit up with joy.
On New Year's Eve, when the lights are just coming on and dusk has not yet completely fallen, sporadic fireworks can't wait to rise into the sky.
Soon, more and more families joined in the fireworks display, and for a moment, the sounds of "bang bang" and "hiss" intertwined into a unique symphony.
From narrow alleys to wide main roads, fireworks are rising into the sky everywhere, red like swaying flames, blue like the deep ocean, purple like a mysterious dream, decorating the night sky of the city like a dream, as if it were an overturned palette, colorful.
During the New Year's Eve, Wang Yuanchao's family did not promote anything new or old. They just sat in the front yard of their home, watching TV, drinking tea, eating snacks and fruits, and waiting for the New Year's Eve peacefully.
The three little kids at home seemed to have endless energy. Under the protection of the nanny and the maid,
The three little ones had a lot of fun while setting off fireworks at home.
Even on New Year's Eve, the temperature in Hong Kong is very pleasant, with the Pacific Ocean breeze and the temperature of 22℃.
Wang Yuanchao and his family felt very comfortable sitting on the front yard of their house.
The table in front of the building was filled with various delicacies, with steaming dumplings and glutinous rice balls being the absolute protagonists.
The dumplings were plump, round, white and plump, as if they were telling of the affluence of Wang Yuanchao's family life;
The glutinous rice balls are like white jade pearls, appearing and disappearing in the sugar water, exuding a sweet scent that makes people salivate just by looking at them.
When the New Year's bell rang, Wang Yuanchao took out the red envelopes he had prepared long ago, each of which contained 200 Hong Kong dollars.
After giving out red envelopes to the bodyguard, maid, nanny, and gardener at home, Wang Yuanchao excitedly took the remaining large stack of red envelopes in his hand and threw them into the sky one by one, shouting excitedly: "Grab the red envelopes, grab the red envelopes!!"
When they heard about the red envelope grabbing, the three little ones in the family didn’t even bother to set off fireworks and ran over to grab the red envelopes.
"I got it!"
"I got it!"
The children shouted excitedly, their faces filled with happy smiles, and they held the red envelopes tightly in their hands, as if they were holding on to a whole year's good luck.
The maids, bodyguards, gardeners, nannies, and cooks in the house also joined in the fight to grab the red envelopes.
Wang Yuanchao's family couldn't stop laughing when they saw everyone scrambling for red envelopes.
As the New Year bells ring,
"Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!"
Everyone stood up, hugged and wished each other well. At this warm moment, the family sat together, eating glutinous rice balls and dumplings that symbolize reunion, sharing each other's joy and expectations for the new year.
