Golden Fishing Village

On Christmas Eve and Christmas, the village held a bonfire party for two consecutive days, which was quite a sensation. Tourists and young people from the surrounding villages came to play.

For two consecutive days, the village was full of joy.

The children received Christmas gifts, and the tourists received peace fruits. As long as they were happy, the atmosphere in the village would be lifted.

Ao Xiaojun was also very happy. Although his father liked to talk to him with his fists, he definitely loved him. On Christmas Day, he got a new Apple mobile phone.

Ao Muyang thought it was good for the village to hold such a festival from time to time, so when New Year's Day came a few days later, he also made serious preparations.

There is nothing special about New Year's Day. In Hongyang, it is called the solar calendar year. It is a legal holiday, but there is no law to celebrate it, so naturally there are no activities to carry out.

So Lao Ao turned his attention to foreign countries. He wanted to see if there was anything to learn from, so he searched for the customs of celebrating New Year's Day in various countries.

He first looked at India. India has a unique custom on New Year's Day, called "crying on New Year's Day". On the morning of New Year's Day, every household cries continuously, and everyone's face is covered with tears.

They are not crying blindly, but lamenting the fleeting time and the shortness of life, and using crying to welcome the new year.

Lao Ao grinned, this custom is a bit literary, although he quite appreciates this method - Lao Ao has also felt that time flies recently, thinking that he is now in his thirties, time is really scary!

But this custom is not suitable for use in the village. On that day, every household cries to tourists together? Wouldn't that scare tourists crazy? I guess new tourists will think they have entered a closed door village...

Thais also attach great importance to New Year's Day. On the first day of the new year, they will put a basin of clean water on the windowsill and door, and every household will go to the rivers in the suburbs to take a New Year bath.

Afterwards, groups of young men and women dressed in colorful folk costumes, beat long drums, sang and danced, and splashed each other with water soaked in bay leaves and spices in silver bowls, wishing their elders health and longevity, and wishing their relatives and friends good luck in the new year. Unmarried young men and women use water splashing to express their love for each other.

After studying it, Lao Ao smacked his lips and thought that this was not reliable. It was too cold. If the village did this, the cold medicine in the town hospital would be sold out in the next month...

The New Year's Day customs in Romania and some European countries are relatively simple. People set off fireworks together in the square to welcome the arrival of the New Year, set up a stage, and then sing and dance while burning fireworks.

This is good. Lao Ao thinks it can be implemented, so he bought a lot of fireworks. It will be beautiful to set off fireworks on the beach at that time.

It is estimated that there is still a lot of gap with reality. The seaside is too cold at night, and the wind is strong. Some fireworks can't fly at all and are blown away by the strong wind.

After trying it in advance and it didn't work, Lao Ao changed the place to set off the fireworks, and held it in the small square of the village committee as usual.

In addition, the significance of New Year's Day is to celebrate the New Year, which must be held at midnight. Ao Muyang felt that not many people could come to participate, so the area of ​​the small square of the village committee was enough.

In order to increase the appeal of the New Year's Eve event, he also temporarily bought a screen-type home theater. Many TV stations had New Year's Eve cultural evenings that night. He propped up a huge screen on the wall of the village committee. After using high-definition signals, the clarity in the middle of the night was not much worse than that of TV.

Unexpectedly, many people came, especially when it was midnight before the New Year, more and more people came, and the small square was packed.

This is because of the popularity accumulated on Christmas Eve and Christmas a few days ago; second, there are more young people in the village, and young people like excitement; third, the children are on vacation, and they finally found a reason to stay up late, so they naturally won't let it go; fourth, New Year's Eve is indeed very ritualistic. The world enters a new year, and people around the world grow one year older. This moment can best make people realize the ruthlessness of time.

It was almost midnight, and the fireworks were lit. Above the earth and under the starry sky, the fireworks were colorful and gorgeous!

Liang Fulai, the master of shell carving, brought his grandson to watch the fireworks. He tried his best to bring his grandson to interact with the crowd, hoping that the child could come out of the autistic world.

Ao Muyang went over and handed him a cup of ginger tea and said, "Grandpa, Happy New Year."

Liang Fulai held the hot paper cup with tears in his eyes: "Happy, leader, you are happy too. Alas, I have never been as happy as this year in my whole life. This village is really a good place."

Ao Fugui's loud voice came from the speaker: "It is now 23:59:30 on December 31, Kyoto time. Well, it's already 25 seconds. Let's not talk too much. Let's count down together and welcome the New Year together!"

The largest firework was lit. This thing was more than half a person tall, like a small platform. After it was lit, there was a loud bang, and a ball of golden flame sprayed into the sky, and then slowly turned into a dragon head with long horns and big eyes.

There was also a golden glow pulling from behind, which then turned into the body of a dragon.

Cheers were heard everywhere, and the sound of countdown also rang out: "Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

At this time, the children who were chasing and playing around started to toss and turn. They found a shaded place, took off their pants and started to pee: "New Year's pee, let's pee for New Year's!"

There were adults scolding them, but Ao Muyang didn't care. When he was in junior high school, they would do such ridiculous things every New Year's Day.

He happily watched the children being chased by adults running around. Some children peed while walking fast, and their hands were also very skilled.

Ao Daguo came over and squatted beside him and said: "Dragon Head, Happy New Year, our village is doing well this year, and here I wish you to lead the village to do better in the New Year."

Ao Muyang smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll borrow Uncle Daguo's good words."

Many people came to him and said Happy New Year. Some tourists even took a bottle of beer and bumped it against his bottle, saying that it was to show his loyalty to his original aspirations and his dedication to serving the people. This made Lao Ao a little embarrassed.

Time passed midnight, a new day arrived, and a new year also arrived.

At this time, the excitement was almost over. The attraction of New Year's Eve lies in the two words "New Year's Eve". Once the New Year has passed, it will be meaningless.

The villagers and tourists left one after another. Ao Muyang was about to pack up his things when two young men came to him and said, "Village chief, Happy New Year."

Ao Muyang looked up and said, "Hey, Daying and Xiaofei, you too have a Happy New Year. Wear more clothes. Why are you still exposing your ankles? Be careful of vasculitis, which is not easy to cure."

Ao Muying said, "Don't worry, village chief, we are giving you a New Year's gift. Guess what it is?"

Ao Muyang's face changed slightly and he asked in surprise, "You won't really find out who slandered me, right?"

When he said that, the two were unhappy. Ao Xiaofei said, "Village chief, what's your tone? Have you always had no confidence in us? My brother Daying..."

"Yes, uncle, I am your uncle." Ao Muying emphasized.

Ao Xiaofei said dissatisfiedly, "You are only five months older than me, and I call you a shit uncle."

Ao Muyang said, "Don't quarrel, don't quarrel, let's talk about business. Have you really found out that you framed me?"
