Chapter 952: It’s not a waste but it seems like a waste
At noon on New Year’s Eve.
The geothermal heat in Palm Springs was very strong, and the whole house was warm. There was a gap in the window, and a faint smoke drifted from the balcony where ancestors were worshipped.
It was a specially made small table with two pieces of red paper on it.
One is written about the eight generations of poor peasants of the Yao family's ancestors, and the other is Mr. Hu and Mrs. Hu.
This is the Baojiaxian from the Northeast. It used to be attached to the old residence of Yao Yuemin and Yuan Liping. In recent years, it has been invited to Yao Yuan's home. I don't know if the grandpa and grandma have entered the customs. How can it be used in this imperial city...
Incense, candles, fruits, fish, meat, rice, and big white steamed buns with rouge have been placed on the table. The lights will be turned on at night until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
"..."
In the living room, a human cub woke up from its sleep, neither crying nor fussing, and seemed to be thinking.
From her perspective, she could only see directly above, but she could hear the sound of pulling and pulling, coming and going for a while - she knew that it was a giant walking.
These giants tower into the clouds, their faces shrouded in mist, mysterious and awe-inspiring. From time to time, they will bring their big faces close to them, stare at them, and make terrible laughter.
Only two giants will make themselves feel close to each other. One is like a warm harbor, and the other is like a big ship in the harbor, able to ride the wind and waves.
"..."
She lay quietly for a while, seeming to feel a little bored, so she tilted her head, exerted force on her hands and feet, and her whole body, accompanied by a babbling sound, like a tortoise turning out of its shell.
He actually turned over on his own!
From lying on the front to lying on the stomach.
Then I started to poop quietly again. After a while, I seemed to feel uncomfortable, and I tried to turn over again, but this time I failed. I just gave up after a few gurglings.
Forget it, I’m so tired.
"Yeah, she turned over on her own!"
Suddenly, the terrifying cry of the giant came again, followed by many shadows, all staring at the 70-centimeter-tall, 10-kilogram-weight human cub.
This is an age when anyone who poops smoothly will be praised.
The nanny was on vacation, and the six people from both sides gathered around the crib and were excited for a long time. Yinyin brought a big box and said, "Come here, just in time to change her into it."
"what?"
"Clothes, this is Xiaobao's first Spring Festival, I want to keep it as a souvenir."
The parents went back to cooking. Yao Yuan and Yinyin stayed and started to tinker with the children. Oh no, they started to change the children's clothes. Furry little red socks, red and white clothes and pants, and a hood.
There are two ram’s horns, it’s the Year of the Sheep!
"it's so cute!"
"Where's the camera? Where's the camera?"
Yinyin found a camera, put her daughter in various poses, and took pictures. Children are very pitiful nowadays. Even the dark history is in high definition.
"Here, you hold her and I'll take a picture for you."
"Dad! Mom! Let's take a family photo!"
After arranging and combining them for a long time, everyone's interest finally subsided.
Yao Xiaobao's clothes were thick and could not be worn for long, so he took them off and put on regular clothes, threw them on the crib, and the adults continued to work. Fortunately, she couldn't speak, otherwise she would have scolded her.
…………
It’s the Spring Festival again.
Every time at this time, Yao Yuan would sigh, "Oh, it's already 2015, and it will be 2019 in four years."
In fact, it is related: it was in May this year that Wuhan won the right to host the 2019 Military World Games!
When an "unknown infection" appeared in the South China Seafood Market, the gears of fate began to turn, and we ushered in three years that were unforgettable and that we seemed unable to recall anything.
It is customary to have a good meal during the day.
Yao Yuan drank two bottles of white wine and six bottles of beer with his father and father-in-law. Yin Yin and Yuan Liping also got a little drunk. Finally, Liu Shuping sobered up. After all, she still had children to take care of.
I slept until evening, got up and tidied up, and received New Year greeting calls and news from various people.
Zheng Nanling is always keeping an eye on the situation of gathering the five blessings. In the past few days, only a few thousand people had gathered. Yesterday, the number of people gathered was increased. So far, it has soared to 360,000 people.
Although 99 did not attend the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, it has two major platforms, WeChat and Weibo, so it is easy to promote whatever you want.
"Hey, it's 8 o'clock, let's watch the Spring Festival Gala!"
"What's there to see? Your son has already fixed several of them!"
"Then we have to take a look. How can it be done if the family is not popular on New Year's Eve?"
Yuan Liping insisted on tuning to CCTV 1. This is what many people think. Even if they don’t watch TV, they have to turn it on because New Year’s Eve needs to be lively and cannot be deserted.
Yinyin was preparing to make dumplings, while Yao Yuan held his daughter and glanced at her.
This year the hosts are still Zhu Jun, Dong Qing, Kang Hui and other old faces, including Lao Bi.
The Spring Festival Gala has become an eight-legged essay.
The opening must be a crowd tactic, with 18 people singing a song, and the music comes up loudly and goes down loudly.
The third program must be language-based, as a warm-up.
There must be children's performances, there must be martial arts, there must be opera, there must be performances from ethnic minorities, there must be grassroots representatives, there must be celebrities from cross-strait, three places or overseas, there must be programs to praise the elderly...
Yao Yuan was stunned because he had no memory and only had some impressions of the two programs.
One is Mo Wenwei's "When You Get Old", and the other is Jia Ling and Qu Ying's sketch "Happy Street". Jia Ling is the one who copied South Korea, the goddess and the tomboy, the goddess and the tomboy...
"Ouch!"
My parents were so miserable that they complained from time to time: "What kind of show is this?"
"It's really not as good as the party held by Xiao Yuan!"
"Hey, Xiaoyuan, why don't you take part in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala? Let the people have fun."
"Forget it, the water is too deep there, and behind every person who delivers lunch is a ministerial leader!"
Yao Yuan didn't want to do it. He held his daughter's two little hands, shook them, and teased: "Xiaobao, isn't the Spring Festival Gala awkward?"
"Yeah!"
"When you grow up, you want to serve the people and bring joy to the masses. Don't imitate them, okay?"
"Da da!"
"Okay, then it's settled!"
He pulled the hook unilaterally.
At about 10 o'clock, we started eating dumplings, fish and pig's trotters.
Yinyin asked the four old people to sit down and put Yao Xiaobao down on the ground, and then kowtowed, and took many more photos. She is now addicted to tinkering with her children, and she wants to take pictures no matter what she does.
On the stage, Feng Gong, Li Yuchun, Liu Huan, Chopstick Brothers, Phoenix Legend, etc. appeared in a flowing stream, old and young, good-looking and bad-looking, and powerful idols, performing the roles of being pure at birth and ugly at the end.
This year we got another mascot, a sheep named Yangyang.
Why!
Yao Yuan became upset when he saw these two words, which was extremely unlucky.
Especially this sheep is still there: "The following is the red envelope interactive session that everyone is looking forward to. Just like last year, we have prepared..."
Okay, I wish Alibaba is as prosperous as this sheep.
This year Lao Ma has prepared 1 billion red envelopes, which is double that of last year. He is full of confidence and wants to do something big. It is true that the masses are grabbing red envelopes, but they also do not forget to collect the five blessings while grabbing red envelopes.
"Dang Dang Dang!"
The bell rang at 12 o'clock, and countless people collected their five blessings and happily divided the cash.
Lao Ma’s 1 billion seems to have been spent in vain, but it seems to have been spent in vain, because it has not widened the gap with WeChat. At most, it is a tie. In short, it is very subtle.
Yao Yuan took his wife and children to bed first, and Zheng Nanling stayed up all night until dawn. He called to report on the first day of the new year, and then announced on Weibo:
"A total of over 300 million people participated in the event, and a total of 820,000 people collected the five blessings and shared 200 million in cash, with an average of 243.9 yuan per person!"
"Thank you for everyone's enthusiastic participation. We have received millions of feedbacks. In view of this, we have decided to make the Five Blessings Collection a regular Spring Festival event, and prepare richer gameplay and more generous rewards. See you next Spring Festival!"
