Chapter 304 Bad luck(1/2)

 January 19, 1966, tomorrow is New Year’s Eve.

The Chinese New Year is finally here!

In the final exam that just passed, Xiaoxian and the others maintained perfect scores.

The two little guys, Liangwanzhu and Zhou Xiaobai, who were sitting in the audience, were a little delayed.

It’s not like last year’s score of 80 or 90, but barely over 70 and less than 80.

Probably too playful.

Despite this, Zhou Jimin still sent them to Enston Ranch for vacation.

It's summer there, and the beachside villas also hang up red lanterns, put up window grilles, couplets, etc., creating a very festive atmosphere for the Spring Festival.

He asked the children, but they were not very willing to spend the Spring Festival here at the ranch because there was no festive atmosphere here.

The entire ranch is almost isolated from the rest of the world, and there is no festive atmosphere, which is normal.

However, although they don't really want to spend the Spring Festival at the beach villa, they still like to spend their vacation here.

So, dress up and lighten the mood.

If it weren't for the general Spring Festival atmosphere in Chinatowns everywhere, Zhou Jimin would really take his children to go shopping.

"Well, after dinner, dad will take you to the island for a walk."

On the night of New Year's Eve, Zhou Jimin, who had just arrived home, said this to his children.

He had just returned from the small town of June 4th and was going to take the children back to the capital for the festival.

A few days ago, he spent a few nights with Xiaoyue and the others walking around the bustling streets such as Admiralty and Causeway Bay, and he had a deep impression of the New Year flavor on the island.

Although Cantonese was not very popular on the island at this time, the majority of people spoke Cantonese.

Therefore, Zhou Jimin helped arrange the songs and produced a Cantonese version of the New Year album. There were not many songs, but each one was very sophisticated.

Gong Xi Fa Cai, Spring Flowers, God of Wealth Arrives, Happy New Year, etc. are all super festive New Year songs.

The album went on sale at the end of December, and once it was released, it immediately became popular throughout Hong Kong.

In just half a month, 300,000 albums were sold in just one small island city, which was an explosion.

Moreover, with the arrival of the Spring Festival, album sales continue to rise and have not dropped.

Even Zhou Jimin himself was surprised. Are there already so many wealthy people on the island?

Needless to say, every song in the entire Spring Festival album is very good, very suitable for this festive festival, and therefore, the New Year flavor of the island is directly pushed to its peak.

Foreign media have reported on this phenomenon, and the title of Oriental Entertainment Capital appeared in newspapers for the first time.

However, because it is a Cantonese song, in overseas markets such as Southeast Asia, the album sales are not as high as in childhood, not even half.

Moreover, this album is time-sensitive. Once the Spring Festival passes, the sales of the album will definitely drop significantly.

In fact, at this time, this album has already made Zhou Jimin a lot of money.

"Dad, is it true? Great, Mom, we are going shopping."

After receiving their father's confirmation, the children immediately cheered and ran back to the bedroom to report the good news to their mother.

After a while, Ding Qiunan came out holding the little fat pig and asked why he suddenly went shopping there?

"The New Year's flavor is better over there. The New Year songs played at home these days are actually from the island. You will know when you go shopping later..."

"Okay, let's eat first and then set off later."

Here at the beach villa, Xu Yiming's family and the seven sisters of the Huang family are all here, as is Nanyi's family.

The total number of people is not small.

The Ding family didn't know the existence of the beach villa yet, so they didn't bring them here.

The main reason is that Ding Xiaochuan works in the special department, and Ding Rushan, the father-in-law, has somewhat complicated thoughts, so Zhou Jimin does not intend to let them know this.

On the contrary, Xu Yiming and Nan Yi are both honest people, and he trusts them more.

In addition, Xu Yiming was docile and docile by Zhou Shuqing and Huang Xiaohua, and they did not have complicated family backgrounds, making it difficult for them to leak secrets.

A group of people had dinner, then boarded the 65 supersonic plane and flew directly to the southern island.

In a manor villa located in Repulse Bay, the yacht slowly docked at the pier, and everyone got off the boat.

This is the place Zhou Jimin purchased. He rarely comes here on weekdays, but he comes here every now and then to clean.

There are video surveillance inside and outside the villa, so there is no need to worry about bad guys breaking in.

Everyone rested in the villa for a few hours, then got up and went shopping.

Everyone has rested on the plane, so they are in good spirits.

It's the morning of New Year's Eve, and many people have gone to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha.

In the early morning of New Year's Eve every year, there will be a long queue at the entrance of Wong Tai Sin Temple, with many citizens holding incense and candles, ready to sprint.

Southerners all like to compete for first place, first in burning incense on New Year’s Eve and first in New Year’s Day.

Because the meaning is very good.

Driving past a nearby temple, Xiaoxian and the others expressed curiosity and confusion when they saw the huge crowds of people.

In the north, there is no such scene at all, only in the south.

To educate children on the differences in clan culture between the north and the south, Zhou Jimin misses his previous life more and more as he goes back to the past.

Ding Qiunan saw his expression, put her hand on his palm, and gave him a gentle smile.

Although she didn't know why he suddenly felt sad, she understood that at this time, he needed her.

Zhou Jimin calmed down and gave her a reassuring smile, feeling relaxed.

Entering the downtown area, the singing flew in through the windows and reached everyone's ears.

"In every street and alley, in everyone's mouth, the first words when meeting are congratulations..."

The catchy lyrics and melody made Xiaoxian and the others couldn't help but hum along.

"Dad, that little girl named Xingyue is so beautiful, and the songs she sings are also very nice."

Xiaobai's face is full of admiration. Xiaoxian and the others all admit that they are very envious of this.

"You are not bad, don't be depressed. When you become an astronaut, you will look at the earth from space, and they will also admire you..."

"Really?"

The children's attention was quickly diverted, and one by one they shouted that they would become astronauts in the future.

Arriving at the bustling streets of Admiralty, the little kids started to have fun.

At this time, the flow of people on the streets of Jinzhong is very dense. To describe it as a sea of ​​people is an understatement.

Anyway, Zhou Jimin’s car waited in line for about half an hour before they arrived at the street, and they couldn’t park.

Because there are no parking spaces nearby, and the road is full of cars and people, it is difficult to move.

The roads on the island are already very narrow, and with millions of people, almost all of them are crowded on both sides of Victoria Harbor. The population density is extremely terrifying.

After all, there are not many high-rise buildings at this time, that is, there are more buildings with more than ten floors, so they will appear more crowded.

Therefore, we could only let Ding Qiunan and the others take the children to visit first, while Zhou Jimin and the others went to park the car.

By the time they met up with Ding Qiunan and the others, it was already an hour later.

Fortunately, there is a PHS right now, so you can contact me at any time, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to find someone.

Admiralty Street is one of the most prosperous neighborhoods on the island. The signal base stations are also the most densely populated here. There is a base station almost every 100 meters. The signal here is always full.

After reuniting, Ding Qiunan and the others had already bought a lot of things, carrying large and small bags, which were quickly transferred to Xu Yiming and Nan Yi.

Zhou Jimin did not relax for long. Soon, he was carrying a lot of loot in both hands.

They are all purchased by Ding Qiunan and the others, including clothes, shoes, food, etc. Some are for personal use and some are given as gifts.

Needless to say, the third and fourth sons have already followed Xu Yiming and the others and given away the spoils of war twice.

I walked around from morning to noon, and just found a restaurant nearby for lunch.

However, after lunch, the flow of people on the street dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Everyone has gone home to prepare New Year’s Eve dinner, so naturally not many people are hanging out.

Therefore, Zhou Jimin and the others were also preparing to return to the capital.

When they arrived home, it was already past three in the afternoon. At this time, there were very few people on the streets of Beijing.

Fortunately, there are many of them, and Huang Xiaohua and her sisters are all good at housework, so they can handle so many New Year's Eve dinners easily.

Mainly, most of the ingredients have been prepared in detail a long time ago.

Compared with previous years, this year’s New Year’s Eve dinner was richer, but the portions were smaller.

Not to mention the sea, land and air, the key is that there are also a lot of snacks from the island.

Moreover, the little brats’ bellies were actually still bulging, and they barely ate much of the New Year’s Eve dinner.
