Hong Kong Movie: Pretty Boy and Bad Guy

Chapter 234
The siblings had been busy all day before they managed to keep the house in order. First, Ah Zhen sat on the sofa in the living room and waited with Xiao Ling to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.

Dong Yi was lying on the lounge chair in the living room happily reading his novel.

This is something he is thankful for. Fortunately, the novels he read in his previous life were all online articles, otherwise he would not even have any entertainment now.

watch TV?
There are indeed countless high-quality TV dramas and movies in this era, but in the eyes of Dong Yi, who has experienced the baptism of the information explosion in his previous life, they are equivalent to chewing wax and tasteless!
Listening to music, it’s okay, but you can’t listen to music every day!
Dong Yi is not interested in playing games and arcade machines. In front of the triple-A masterpieces in his previous life, this arcade machine is really boring.

Nowadays, Dong Yi's means of entertainment are really lacking, and he can only immerse himself in it by reading the novels of this era.

Except for Xiaoling, the family has nothing to do, immersed in the joy of celebrating the Spring Festival.

Dong Biao is also very busy. After all, as the Chief Superintendent of the Western District, some human relations are inevitable. He has been busy attending the dinner these two days.

The fat mom is busy making reunion dinners!

The reunion dinner on Hong Kong Island requires a lot of energy compared to making a dumpling in the north, but any family that pays attention to it will spend a lot of effort preparing the meal for the whole family to eat on New Year's Eve.

Fat Mom is very particular about food, which can be seen from her figure. She has been busy for a week preparing this New Year's Eve dish.

Traditional culture attaches great importance to human relations. The most important program of the New Year on Hong Kong Island is of course family reunion dinner and New Year greetings.

During the Chinese New Year on Hong Kong Island, the whole family gathers in small groups to eat authentic Chinese New Year-style Poon Choi, just like eating dumplings in the north. It is a custom passed down from generation to generation!

Poon Choi, a typical South China cuisine!

The top layer is usually placed with high-end ingredients such as abalone, prawns, oysters, dried oysters, etc., followed by mushrooms, hair vegetables, etc., the middle layer is braised pork, and the bottom layer is squid, bamboo sticks and other ingredients that can easily absorb the soup.

A large pot is just preparing the ingredients, and then it's done, it really can't be taken down without spending a little time.

As time went by, when Dong Biao came home in the evening, the fat mother asked, "I've already made the poon choi, can you still eat it?"

Dong Biao took off his coat, hung it on the hanger, and sat down on the sofa: "Of course I can eat it, I'm so hungry!"

Xiaoling on the side was puzzled: "Dad, aren't you having a party with your former colleagues? How can you still be hungry?"

"No way, those old guys are like me. They have to attend a lot of parties before the Chinese New Year. They are getting old. Now they are starting to maintain their health. In the past, the big fish and the meat didn't go home without getting drunk. Now they drink tea instead!
At the end of the day, I didn't eat a few bites, but I went to the toilet a lot! "

Speaking of this, Dong Biao picked up the remote control and turned on the TV. At this time, a message was broadcast on the TV news. Outside a bank building, a group of depositors were crying and screaming, dying!

On the TV screen, many people gathered outside the bank, crying for their fathers and mothers, looking miserable. The voice of the host came from the screen: "According to the latest news, the person in charge of Hong Kong Island HSBC Bank died when the Longxin Building exploded, and was There is a major crisis in the internal funds, and it is declared bankrupt today!

The deposits of the depositors evaporated overnight, and the economic losses of the depositors are expected..."

Seeing this, Dong Biao and Fat Ma were taken aback, and they couldn't help turning their heads to look at Dong Yi who was reading the novel not far away with an obsessive expression on his face.

Dong Biao said: "Ah Yi, look, HSBC Bank has collapsed!"

Dong Yi put away the novel in front of him and stared in confusion: "HSBC? What HSBC!"

"This is the HSBC bank where you cried and screamed and asked me to take the money out!"

Dong Yi straightened his back suddenly, got up immediately and came to the TV, muttering in his mouth: "Tsk tsk tsk... Good guy, such a big bank closes down as soon as it says it goes bankrupt. It's really a fickle thing. It's pitiful for these people to deposit money in it." I don’t know how many people on Hong Kong Island can only live on the CSSA!”

Dong Biao also looked sad when he heard this: "Yes! It's true that no matter what era, in the end, most of the people who bear the risks are ordinary people!"

The fat mother looked at the sad look of the father and son, the rabbit died and the fox, and comforted her with a smile: "Okay, you two, don't worry about the spring and autumn, just be careful, the money is outside the body, and the money goes to the people, as long as our family is happy." Being happy is more important than anything else!

Although our family can't compare with those real wealthy families, we are doing very well, more than enough than the top and not enough compared to the bottom! "

Dong Biao let out a long sigh: "That's right!
The most important thing is to live a happy life as a family. I have an excellent son, two beautiful daughters, and a wife who is so understanding. If I can live to this extent, what is there to be dissatisfied with!
Okay, no more watching TV, wife, let’s have a family reunion dinner! "

Immediately, the family happily sat around the dining table in the restaurant, and the fat mother took out the poon choi that had been prepared earlier, and the five of them busily ate.

"Come on, Ayi, Azhen, Xiaoling, eat a prawn, laugh haha!"

Dong Biao picked up the prawns in the Poon Choi and put them in the bowls of the three brothers and sisters.

The pronunciation of "shrimp" in Cantonese is the same as "Ha" in Mandarin

"Thank you dad, I wish dad and mom a lot of money and good luck." The three brothers and sisters Dong Yi put the oysters into their parents' bowls.

The pronunciation of "oyster sauce" in Cantonese is the same as "good thing" in Mandarin.

A pot of vegetables, in the expectation of every household, is fried, boiled, stewed and stewed, served on each table, not only for the taste, but also for a "harmony".

The taste and the people are also harmonious, and the family is neat and tidy, eating a full, round, and happy Poon Choi, and all the good intentions of the previous year are the standard for the New Year.

The five people were chatting while eating, and the fat mother immediately said: "By the way, A-Zhen and A-Yi remember to get up early tomorrow!"

Ah Zhen was puzzled: "What's the matter, mom?"

"What else can...

Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, before dawn you and A Yi will go grab the first prize for me!
Remember to come back after burning incense, we have to go to New Year's greetings! "

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, every household in Hong Kong Island will go to grab the first incense sticks, hoping for a smooth sailing in the coming year. Usually, they go to the Wong Tai Sin Temple to offer incense sticks. This is the most intense activity during the Chinese New Year.

In fact, in the middle of the night of the New Year's Eve, many people had already arrived outside the Wong Tai Sin Temple and waited for the dawn, hoping to offer the first stick of incense to the temple before the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Dong Yi shook his head: "What are you doing grabbing such a stick of incense, it's crowded, you're half dead from exhaustion, and you have to get up early in the morning!"

"What do you know, if you are told to go, you can go!" Fat Mom was not in a good mood.

Dong Biao immediately reminded: "Amin's parents, remember to visit Amin's parents during the Chinese New Year!"

Dong Yi nodded: "On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Amin and I have discussed that we will visit her parents at her home!"

"Husband, are you ready for the presents for my parents?" Fat Mom asked Dong Biao, who was beside her.
