Chapter 409 Another Spring Festival
On New Year's Eve, everyone was eating a reunion dinner while watching the Spring Festival Gala.
In the eyes of many Chinese people, the new year has not begun until the Lunar New Year's Eve.
For most people, the Chinese New Year does not refer to New Year's Day, but to the Spring Festival.
It is not so easy to change this culture that has been passed down for a long time.
Not to mention, everyone is not willing to change this traditional custom.
This year's Spring Festival Gala is very different from the past.
Last year's Spring Festival Gala invited singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan to perform. The representative singer from Hong Kong was Alan Tam, and the representative singer from Taiwan was Zhang Min.
This year's Spring Festival Gala was directly held jointly by CCTV and Hong Kong TVB.
Because Hong Kong is under British rule, the atmosphere of the New Year is weaker than that in the mainland, but most companies still have four and a half days of public holidays.
Because it is held jointly, this year's Spring Festival Gala is full of new ideas.
Hong Kong can learn more about the mainland, and the mainland can also learn more about Hong Kong.
Liu Tao saw young Hong Kong stars, such as Zhou Runfa, Zhao Yazhi, etc.
This year, "The Bund" was introduced to the mainland for broadcast. As soon as it was broadcast, it triggered a viewing frenzy. Xu Wenqiang and Feng Chengcheng, the classic screen CP, were deeply remembered by the mainland audience.
In addition to "The Bund", another TV series introduced to the mainland for broadcast this year is "Chu Liuxiang".
This year, TVB has also made great efforts for this year's Spring Festival Gala.
With the overall situation in 1987 determined, all parties are desperately standing in line.
Only a small number of people really choose to emigrate.
The vast majority of people still stay in Hong Kong.
Although the Hong Kong government makes some small moves from time to time, the overall market is as stable as Mount Tai.
The two thousand people of the security company have been in Hong Kong for a long time, which is the Dinghaishenzhen needle.
Liu Tao also carefully feels the charm of Hong Kong stars in this era.
Zhou Runfa is still a greasy boy, and Zhao Yazhi, although 32 years old, still has a stunning face.
Zheng Shaoqiu is still the "Xiang Shuai" Chu Liuxiang.
Alan Tam is still the singer with great influence and status in the Hong Kong music scene.
Everyone ate the reunion dinner while watching the Spring Festival Gala and then discussed it.
Until the countdown began, the Spring Festival Gala ended with a song "Unforgettable Tonight".
Last night, it snowed heavily, covering the entire courtyard with a layer of silver.
In the morning, Chen Fang and others used brooms to sweep the snow aside, revealing a path that could be walked.
This snow caused the temperature to drop, and everyone wore thick down jackets.
Liu Tao was refreshed and walked out of the master bedroom with Zhu Lin, who had a rosy face.
When they came to the living room, there were already many people.
This year is more special than in the past, and all the relatives came to Liu Tao's courtyard.
Liu Tao's grandfather had a total of three sons and two daughters. And Liu Tao's generation, on average, each family gave birth to four, which means that Liu Tao's generation has a total of twenty cousins.
In the past, only Liu Zhenbang was in the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building. Although Liu Qi's father, Liu Zhenguo, was also in Beijing, he was actually in a factory in the suburbs.
As for Liu Zhenhua, Liu Xinglan, and Liu Xingmei, they were all in other places.
This time, they all returned to Beijing and gathered in Liu Tao's courtyard.
Liu Tao has become the one with the most say. Liu Tao has the highest administrative level. Even Liu Zhenbang is far behind Liu Tao.
Not to mention others. The highest Liu Zhenguo is a deputy director, and he has just been promoted for less than two years, which is far behind Liu Tao.
The table was full of melon seeds, cakes, candies, and various drinks.
Chen Fang, Liu Hongying and others were busy in the kitchen, washing vegetables, or preparing dishes.
The children were playing. The older ones were already in junior high school, and the younger ones were only two years old. There were more than 60 children, which was a lively scene.
In Liu Tao's generation, the most had four or five children, and the least had two.
"I support those who want to quit their jobs and start their own business, but you should also know that doing business is risky and may not necessarily make money. Moreover, you will only get one chance. If you miss it, I will not help you again." Liu Tao said.
He needs to set rules and make it clear to everyone.
So as not to lose money and then blame him.
Liu Tao will only give one chance.
Whether it is his cousins, brothers and sisters, or his two brothers-in-law, it is the same.
If you can't help it, then you really can't help it.
In this era, there are start-up funds and invisible assistance. If you still can't get up, then there is a problem with your personal ability.
"If you lose money, then you can be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life in the future." Liu Tao said.
There is nothing wrong with being an ordinary person and living an ordinary life.
This time, Liu Qi played a demonstration role, and ten people wanted to quit their jobs and go to the sea.
Liu Tao's suggestion is very simple. Some people go to the north to fight with Liu Qi, and some people go to Yangcheng and Pengcheng to fight with Qian Huaqiang.
In this wild era, as long as you dare to fight and fight, as long as you are brave enough, there is almost no one who will not get rich.
All walks of life are developing madly.
At noon, we eat hot pot directly.
Beef hot pot, mutton hot pot.
There is no problem of cold dishes, everyone either drinks alcohol or soda.
It was not until the evening that the courtyard regained some quietness.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, early in the morning, Liu Tao personally drove Chen Weimin, Liu Honglei and their family to the airport.
This year they are going back to Shanghai, and this is the first time they have been back in Shanghai in so many years.
In addition to their luggage, there are also gifts prepared by Liu Tao in the car.
They will stay in Shanghai until the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, and then take a plane directly from Shanghai to Kunming.
As the Boeing aircraft purchased by China from the United States continue to arrive and be put into use, China's flights have increased, and it has become easier to fly.
Of course, a plane ticket is expensive, and ordinary people are reluctant to fly.
Chen Weimin and Liu Hongying's plane tickets can be reimbursed, so they are willing to fly.
"Sister, if you have anything, remember to call home, or call the number I gave you." Liu Tao reminded.
Liu Honglei said: "I know, what can happen in a trip to Shanghai."
He personally sent them into the airport and waved to them before Liu Tao left the airport.
When he returned home, Zhu Lin was ready.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, he naturally had to accompany his wife back to her parents' home, move the things into the car, and Zhu Lin got in the car with the child.
Liu Tao drove the car himself.
It was very close to Zhu Lin's mother's house, and it didn't take long to get there.
When we got home, Zhu Lin's mother was preparing lunch.
Zhu Xiongxin was watching TV and making tea with others.
There was already a home phone, a color TV, and a Jinlong computer installed here.
This configuration was better than most families in China today.
Liu Tao put the wine, tea, and cigarettes aside, and Zhu Lin took the initiative to help, and Liu Tao took the child to the sofa.
