In the sound of firecrackers, the year ended, and the spring breeze sent warmth into Tusu. Every day, thousands of families will exchange new peaches for old talismans.
In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival was coming. As she had just arrived in Country Y last year, she was unfamiliar with the place and did not celebrate the New Year. Now that he had been in Country Y for a whole year, he understood that Country Y's celebration of the Chinese New Year seemed to be even more lively than China's. People in the country became richer, and the countryside gradually lost the rustic atmosphere of the past New Year. People began to miss the old times, but there were various restrictions such as not being able to set off firecrackers in the city, and the demolition of local temples.
There were still two days before the Lunar New Year, and they could already feel the atmosphere of the Spring Festival when they went out. Many shops on the street had red lanterns hanging outside their doors. The most lively ones were Tianchao City and the City Hall, which were filled with red lanterns. New Year zodiac mascots could be seen everywhere. The festive atmosphere filled every corner of Manchester City. There were always foreigners wishing him a happy new year while walking on the streets.
Luo Li asked Gao Yi to go shopping at the big supermarket in Tianchao City. She bought some New Year's items, including all kinds of dishes, drinks, and snacks. She also specially bought some dumplings and dumplings, and all kinds of fireworks. She planned to invite her friends to play on New Year's Day.
It was New Year's Eve, and there was no class on the weekend. In the morning, he cleaned the dormitory and kitchen and pasted a couplet on the door. Due to the time difference, the Spring Festival Gala in Country Y started at one or two o'clock in the afternoon. She called Gao Yi over, drew the curtains, and pretended to be in the dark. She placed all kinds of snacks on the table and started to watch the Spring Festival Gala on the computer. Halfway through, she video-called her parents to wish her grandparents a happy new year.
Gao Yi and Luo Li teared up when they saw the Spring Festival Gala's New Year greetings to the Chinese people from all over the country. No matter where you go, the motherland will never forget you. After watching the Spring Festival Gala, it was almost dark. Edward, Emily, and Kelly also came. Everyone made dumplings together. Luo Li personally demonstrated for everyone to see. Unfortunately, she was a foreigner after all, and the dumplings were made like buns. Gao Yi was busy preparing various dishes when the kitchen door opened.
"Brother Zhengguo!" Luo Li ran up excitedly and gave him a hug." Why are you here? You didn't even say anything."
"Of course we have to go together for the New Year. I didn't tell you because I wanted to surprise you.”Wang Zhengguo said.
"Come, come, let's make dumplings together."”Luo Li said.
At this moment, Gao Yi took out the packaged frozen spring rolls and began to fry them. The fragrance wafted in the air. Kelly leaned over and said,"Wow, it smells so good. What are you busy with?"”
Gao Yi introduced," This is spring roll. Spring rolls are eaten in the south of China during the Chinese New Year. The dumplings you guys are busy with are eaten in the north of China."”
"Then do you make dumplings or fried spring rolls in Hong Kong?" Luo Li asked Gao Yi.”
Gao Yi raised his head and thought for a moment." When I was young, my family made dumplings. But Hong Kong is in the south. I don't know much about it, but I know that Hong Kong eats rice cakes during Chinese New Year. That's why I bought rice cakes."”
Luo Li said,"I'm from the south. We also eat rice cakes and steamed buns during Chinese New Year."”
"We still want to eat Yuanxiao in the north. Did you buy it?" Wang Zhengguo asked.。”
The few of them looked at each other. Luo Li said,"I'm sorry, we didn't know you were coming. What if we didn't buy it? Why don't we go buy it now?"
"No need, it's getting dark. It's the same if we eat dumplings and spring rolls."”
After that, Gao Yi busied himself with the delicacies from all over the world. The dumplings and rice cakes that everyone had made were steamed in the pot.
After that, it was the wedding banquet. Luo Li also invited Shanka to have dinner with her, and she even specifically told him not to chase the girls away. Luo Li specially went back to her room to change into a red dress to celebrate.
Everyone ate their food, drank their cola, and drank their red wine. They chatted about how awesome they were from all over the world. They were in a harmonious mood.
After dinner, everyone set up the table and started playing mahjong. The amazing thing was that Edward knew mahjong. He said that he knew it since he was very young, and many of his friends knew how to play mahjong.
After a while, the students from the Student Union came to pay their New Year's greetings. A group of people dressed in red down jackets brought dumplings. Unfortunately, Luo Li and the others had just finished eating the dumplings and put the dumplings in the fridge. The Student Union invited them to Tianchao City tomorrow to celebrate.
After that, Luo Li brought over a computer and connected it to the sound system. She opened the karaoke software and everyone started playing mahjong and karaoke. It was very lively.
Wang Zhengguo said that there was nothing different about life in Cambridge. It was just that there were celebrities from all over the world, handsome men and beautiful women everywhere, and it was obviously more difficult to pick up girls. Luo Li asked him if he had gone to the Kang Bridge to explore the gentle waves of the Kang River and the pool under the shade. Poor Wang Zhengguo asked Luo Li what Kang Qiao was.
When it was almost midnight, everyone set up fireworks outside the house. Emily and Kelly were holding fireworks. Everyone counted down from 10, 9, 8, 7... At that moment, fireworks flew into the night sky with a bang. The firecrackers exploded. Under the background of the fireworks, everyone revealed happy faces and looked forward to the new year.
Everyone left at one o'clock in the morning, and Wang Zhengguo returned to the hotel.
The next morning, the weather cleared up and the sun shone brightly, but the winter sun was cold, just like the summer rain was hot and stuffy. Luo Li and her group arrived at Celestial Empire City. Walking on the streets that were hung with red lanterns, they felt like they had arrived at a small town in ancient Celestial Empire. It also felt like a gathering at the Confucius Temple. Each shop had a door sign with the word "Fu Xi" on it. Many foreigners dressed in traditional Chinese clothes, such as Han clothes, were holding candied haws and chattering in the crowd. In the distance, a monkey was performing. When he got closer, he saw Sun Wukong. He was playing with a stick, looking very lively like a six-year-old boy. People from all over the world were clapping and cheering.
Walking further, they arrived at Lai Fu Sichuan Cuisine Restaurant. There was a dragon dance in front of the door, and a flood dragon was galloping through the crowd. Beside it, the gongs and drums were beating loudly, and the dragon eyes and dragon whiskers were moving with the rhythm, giving people a majestic feeling. Luo Li saw Boss Wu standing in front of the restaurant, smoking and chatting with the people around him. Luo Li walked over and greeted him,"Mr. Wu, congratulations on making a fortune. I wish your birthday will be more and more popular and prosperous.”
Boss Wu's face was full of joy as he said with a smile,"Aiyo, Xiao Luo, I wish you progress in your studies and find a girlfriend soon, hahaha.”
Luo Li smiled and stood beside Boss Wu to watch the dragon dance. "What a coincidence, dancing in front of your door. How much business did it bring you?" asked Luo Li.”
Boss Wu laughed and said," Of course, the dragon dance team I invited will dance in front of my door. Dragon dance brings good luck in the new year."”
Luo Li said," That's right. Your business for the next year will be like a dragon soaring into the clouds. Are you looking for a southern dragon or a northern dragon?"”
Boss Wu continued to smile and said," Alright, I hope you're happy. This is a Southern Dragon. The Southern Dragon has a strong aura. This is the longest type with 13 knots."”
As he was speaking, the dragon's body suddenly dropped. A dragon dancer in a yellow robe fell sideways." Aiyoyo," he shouted. Then, the dragon stopped. Boss Wu immediately ran up and asked,"Brother, what's wrong? Sprain your ankle?"
"Aiyoyo, I sprained my ankle. It hurts, aiyoyo, it hurts.”the dragon dancer said.
"Quick, quick, quick. Someone help him in.”As he spoke, some waiters helped the person in.
At this time, the leader came over and said,"Boss, there are no preparations. It's just a few of us."”
"Then what should we do? I spent money to invite you here. If you do this, I won't give you money.”Boss Wu was a little annoyed, and everyone was at a loss.
At this moment, Luo Li came forward and said,"Let me do it. I'll help you dance."”
"How can you do that?" Boss Wu said.”
The leader said," It's not impossible. You just have to follow the person in front of you. Wherever he dances, you have to follow him. Just run with your feet."”
"Is it okay?" Boss Wu asked in disbelief. Don't let anything happen again."
Luo Li took off her coat and patted Boss Wu's shoulder.""Don't worry, it'll be fine."
Wang Zhengguo and Edward were also eager to join in the fun, so the leader let the other two rest for a while. The three of them took their coats, put on their yellow coats, and got into the dragon's body.
Soon, the drums and gongs began to beat. It was indeed very simple. It was not difficult at all to follow the people in front. Wang Zhengguo was in front of Luo Li, and Edward followed closely behind her. The few of them were dancing very lively. It was the first time in their lives that they had danced the dragon dance.
As she danced, she suddenly heard a puchi sound. Then, the smell of stinky tofu assaulted her. Luo Li said,"F * ck, it stinks. Who farted?”
"I'm sorry, I ate too much yesterday and haven't digested it yet." Wang Zhengguo laughed.”
Then he heard Edward curse from behind,"“fxxx,ohmygod,whatthefxxx!。”
He endured the stench and danced until the stench dissipated. Only then did he feel refreshed. He danced until his head was covered in sweat, and the stick in his hand was wet and slippery from the sweat.
Finally, it was time for a break. Luo Li walked into the restaurant with only her underwear left. Boss Wu had already prepared tea and cakes. The few of them picked up their cups and drank them all in one gulp. Boss Wu smiled and asked,"Haha, are we going to continue dancing later, everyone?。”
Luo Li waved her hand, took a sip of tea, and said,"No, I'm exhausted. Let's take a break and go out for a walk.”
" Alright then, you guys rest and eat more pastries for good luck. I'll get going first." Boss Wu patted Luo Li's shoulder and left. Luo Li and Edward Gao Yi rested for a while. After their sweat evaporated, they put on their clothes and walked out.
In front of them, there were a few girls performing acrobatics and lion dances. After that, the Chinese Association started a parade in Albert Square, and the atmosphere reached its climax with fireworks.
When it was lively, they were always worried about forgetting each other. If there was a gathering, there would be a parting, and if there was a parting, there would be a wound. There was no need to gather together. Luo Li did not like this kind of liveliness. What she liked was the night. The moon was high in the sky, and she danced to see how the shadows seemed to be in the human world. Gao Yi didn't seem to be very interested either. There were temple festivals everywhere in the Celestial Empire, and this wasn't much different. It was just that there were more white faces.
Only Edward and his girlfriend were interested. The two of them stopped at various stalls and played with all kinds of objects. These stalls only sold things like dolls with the style of the Heavenly Dynasty. King Luo Li and Gao Yi followed them. When they left the Heavenly Dynasty City, Edward was already carrying a big bag full of dolls.
After that, the few of them found a restaurant and ate casually before going home.
Since the next day was Monday, Wang Zhengguo took the train back to Cambridge that afternoon.
It was good to feel the atmosphere of the new year. The focus was still on studying. Luo Li spent the entire afternoon revising her lessons. In the evening, she went out for a walk alone. When she walked to the bar street, she realized that the previous few bars were closed. Logically speaking, bars were open all night. There was only a small bar left. Many of the signboards of the bars had been changed to clothing stores. Luo Li entered the small bar and realized that they were actually selling Tsingtao beer. She bought a bottle. While drinking, a girl with heavy makeup from Country Y sat down beside Luo Li and said,"Hello, dear, buy me a drink.”
Luo Li didn't look at him. She raised her wine bottle and took a gulp, muttering to herself,"The domestic beer is still tastier."
The girl was about to leave when Luo Li stopped her."Wait a minute."
The girl turned around and said coldly,"What's wrong?"”
"Why are all the other bars on this street closed?" asked Luo Li.”
The girl replied," It's all because your lousy school wants to rectify the order on campus. The government doesn't allow bars to sell student alcohol. If there's no business, it will close down.”
Luo Li took out a ten-pound note and handed it to the girl. The girl happily took the money and turned around to sit down. However, Luo Li said,"Please don't sit next to me. I want to be alone.”
The girl rolled her eyes and left.
Luo Li finished her drink and paid the bill. She walked back along the bar street. It was deserted. She recalled the lively scene when she came here with Wang Zhengguo and Gao Yi. It was like heaven and earth. Luo Li thought that those bar owners must have sold their shops. It was not a big loss. What about those fireworks girls? They had no skills and no knowledge. How could they make a living in the future? Then he thought of Wang Zhengguo's ex-girlfriend, Peni, a girl who was welcomed and sent away with money. The moonlight shone down on the bar street, but it did not shine brightly. Luo Li took out her phone and typed:
