It is difficult to play with fireworks in New Zealand, and there are very few opportunities to see fireworks, because this country attaches great importance to environmental protection, and the air pollution caused by fireworks and firecrackers is very serious.
The only time a year that little girls can play with fireworks is during the Fireworks Festival. This is a traditional British festival that takes place on November 5th every year. Fireworks can be set off for four days before and after. And even during these four days, you can't just put it anywhere, you have to go to a designated place.
New Zealand's Fireworks Festival commemorates the Gunpowder Plot, a historical event in British history in which a small group of Catholic rebels plotted to blow up the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, London, while the king was meeting to discuss Catholic reforms. matters.
However, the plot was foiled when a guard discovered Guy Fawkes in the vaults of the Houses of Parliament, surrounded by barrels of explosives.
In fact, this is a very cruel festival. According to Wang Bo's knowledge, Guy Fawkes, who was tortured during that historical event, confessed everything. As a result, those who conspired to rebel were arrested and punished as traitors according to the laws of the time. They were all sentenced to hanging and dismembered.
In November last year, Hani once suggested that he hold a fireworks festival in the town, but Wang Bo refused. He felt that it was not an opportunity to celebrate.
He saw on the news that when Britain and New Zealand celebrated this holiday, they would make a "Guy"—a dummy stuffed with old clothes and then burn it on a bonfire. The dummy was filled with fireworks, and finally, when the gorgeous fireworks were set off, everyone began to celebrate...
Speaking of which, China is much better. Fireworks commemorate happy historical events.
This time Wang Bo bought it for little Loli to prepare for New Year's Eve.
On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, it is routine to sweep the graves of our ancestors.
There were not many people in Lao Wang's family, and there were many in Grandpa Wang Bo's generation, with a total of five brothers and four sisters. However, there was a war. Except for his grandfather, the other four of the five brothers participated in the war, and there was no news about them all. .
Grandpa Wang Bo and his four sisters were left. The sisters got married and had little contact with their descendants after two generations. However, his grandfather only had two sons. Wang Bo also had a brother-in-law, but he died in his youth.
In this way, from his grandfather to him, the three generations passed down, although it is not a single inheritance, it is no different from a single inheritance.
After entering the ancestral grave, Wang Bo kowtowed to his grandfather. His father hung up firecrackers and burned incense while saying: "Dad, I brought Xiao Bo to see you and your mother. Xiao Bo is developing very well now. This time even his wife I brought it back. Today I will take you back to see my grandson-in-law. You and my mother will bless their little couple in heaven."
After finishing speaking, Bo's father had tears in his eyes.
Wang Bo has little memory of his grandparents. Before he was born, his grandfather passed away and died in the sea. However, according to Bo's father, the old man was very kind to him and Bo's mother during his lifetime, and his only wish was to have grandchildren.
Bo's mom takes Eva to cook at home. Eva is very spiritual in other areas, but she really has no talent in cooking. She can cut vegetables and meat well, but when she puts in seasonings, she either has too much or too much. not enough.
The little Loli was happily holding fireworks and waiting for the night. When she saw her sister cooking, she suddenly panicked and ran in and said: "Auntie, don't let my sister cook. She has a scale, a timer, I can’t make thermometers, measuring cups, or measuring spoons well…”
Eva stared at her with murderous eyes. The little loli pouted, hugged the fireworks and ran away again.
In fact, the beautiful teacher wanted to show off her baking skills, but she didn’t have the tools to show off her skills!
When Wang Bo and Bo Dad came back, five seafood cold dishes were already on the table: crispy fish, eggplant with hoisin sauce, appetizer fish fillet, conch mixed with bitter chrysanthemum and walnuts, and raw pickled shrimp with garlic paste.
The strong man was circling around the table. When he saw Wang Bo coming back, he quickly lowered his head and pretended to be looking for something on the ground. However, when Wang Bo picked up a piece of crispy fish, the laughter from the corner of his mouth still flowed.
While changing clothes, Dad Bo smiled and said, "This dog is quite interesting. It starts drooling without even looking at it. Did it smell that you picked up the fish?"
Wang Bo fed it to the young man and said, "No, it saw my movements with its peripheral vision."
The next few hot dishes are also prepared, very simple dishes, boiled shrimp, steamed crab, yellow croaker stewed with tofu, salt and pepper mantis shrimp and iron pot miscellaneous fish. The miscellaneous fish contains small catfish, which still means there is always more than enough.
Wang Bo peeled a crab and gave it to Bo's mother. Bo's mother blocked him halfway and motioned with her eyes to give it to Eva. Wang Bo smiled and said: "Eva only eats crab paste. You can eat this. Yi and I Let’s work together to eat the ones from the back.”
The little Loli devoured the food, and Bo's father touched her little head distressedly and said, "Die'er is starving."
Dai'er choked, rolled her eyes and said, "No, Dai'er just wanted to set off fireworks as soon as she finished eating..."
Wang Bo prepared fruits for the army commander and brought the fat cat and the strong man to the dining table together. Bo's father said that either the cat or the dog would eat at the table. Wang Bo said that we are a family.
Eva explained for him, saying: "He just went to New Zealand and got together with the young man. At that time, he had no friends. The young man was his family."
Hearing what her daughter-in-law said, Bo's mother felt sorry for Wang Bo and said that you were really lonely in a foreign country.
Wang Bo chuckled: "It's okay, I won't be alone this year. After the New Year, you hand over the ship and cold storage to Dabao and the others, and you go to New Zealand with me."
Bo's father decisively refused, and Wang Bo said first, "I have to go. You guys will come back when the weather is warm. This time you go to avoid the limelight. Who knows if Leng Si has any friends or brothers outside?"
Bo's mother ate the food and said, "Okay, let's go stay with Xiao Bo for a while, and then we can talk about it after the whole thing is over."
"I'm done eating!" Little Loli put down her fork, grabbed a handful of Sky Monkeys and ran out.
The strong man was also full, so he went out to play with him. Not long after he went out, he ran back quickly, whining with panic on his face.
Wang Bo could guess with his knees that the little loli must have used fireworks to scare it.
After he came back, the strong man rushed to his feet, put his head between his legs, and kept moaning, his voice sounded like he was aggrieved.
Bo's mother asked Wang Bo to go out and accompany the little Lolita. It was too dangerous to play with fireworks alone, especially for children of a few years old.
As soon as Wang Bo went out, a flying monkey came towards him with a scream.
The strong man following him turned around and ran away. The fat cat brother was still behind him, and the second fat man was behind him, but he was knocked away by it.
The second fat man got up very dissatisfied and yelled at the strong man's back. He turned around, and the big fat man knocked him over again, and then ran away...
"Woo!" Big Fatty shouted in dissatisfaction. He turned around and saw a flying monkey flying towards him and exploding on his butt.
Immediately, the big fat man started to run away like a wolf, rolling, crawling, jumping, and running so fast! (.)
