Yang Dongxu called Dai'er first. Compared to calling Dean or William directly, he undoubtedly believed that Dai'er was his woman after all.
At the same time, despite Australia being the vanguard of the United States in later generations, Britain's influence on Australia is also unparalleled. The Queen of England even has the qualifications to appoint and remove the president of Australia. This incident alone shows that Britain's influence on Australia is unparalleled. Its left and right.
Australia has only become the vanguard of the United States in the international community, and only the United States follows its lead. That's because the United Kingdom and the United States stand on the same line of common interests, so Australia is so active.
If there is a conflict between the interests of the United States and the United Kingdom in Australia, do you think the Australian vanguard will also be extremely conflicted. In the end, they can consider the opinions of the United Kingdom first and then the opinions of the United States.
Of course, it is a fact that the British royal family's influence on Australia is constantly weakening, especially now that the United States has become more and more powerful and implemented hegemony, which has allowed its voice in Australia to continue to increase.
Amid this ebb and flow, Britain's influence on Australia is getting weaker year by year, and it is a fact that it will begin to be inferior to that of the United States in a few years.
Inquiring about information is not that quick. After all, this is not a problem that can be solved with a few phone calls. So this year still has to go through.
On New Year's Eve, the Yang family's house was particularly lively, with grandparents, father-in-law, Mr. Xuan, brother-in-law, Wu Xue's family, and Du Weiwei coming to join in the fun.
It was so full that two tables were opened before there was room to sit down. If the eldest sister Hongying and the younger sister Dandan also gathered to celebrate the New Year, the whole family would have to open at least three tables.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone went to watch the fireworks together. Although the number of fireworks was reduced, it was still possible to have a fireworks show by contributing one of the fireworks purchased by the family and setting them off together.
After all, Yangjiacun is no longer the Yangjiacun it used to be. Not counting the villagers, many people who do business on the street also celebrate the New Year here and do not return to their hometowns.
Each household brings out one firework, and each shop contributes one. The total of these zeros and zeros adds up to a lot, so it is quite lively to set them off together.
Many people raised their mobile phones and kept taking pictures. Children held other gadgets in their hands and set them off and ran around to join in the fun. The entire village and people from the shops gathered, plus people from nearby villages came to watch the fun. . The large area of Wuyang Wuyang is very crowded and spectacular.
"Let's go and play cards!" After the fireworks show, Xiao Wu started to shout for several people to play cards together.
It feels like something is missing if I don’t play a few laps during this Chinese New Year. Now everyone has had the New Year's Eve dinner and watched the fireworks show. They went to play two rounds and stayed up until 12 o'clock at night. People from various countries began to celebrate the New Year. Then they would gather together to pay New Year greetings on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, and then start visiting the graves. Ancestor.
Then on the first day of the Lunar New Year, I did nothing but played. Even on this day, according to the custom in Yangjia Village, I did not sweep the floor or wash the dishes. Apart from the need to maintain personal hygiene, the rest was as decadent as possible.
The implication is that the new year can be as relaxing and enjoyable as this first day. If you do all kinds of work on the first day of the new year, it means that you will be so tired for the entire next year.
You can live a worry-free life by making money by playing all kinds of things when you are too lazy to sleep, and you can make money by being busy and tired all year round. Naturally, everyone has no worries and all choose the former.
In the past, when playing cards here in Yangjiacun, it was basically for gambling, and all kinds of serious people who wanted to win money were serious.
Nowadays, the card games here in Yangjiacun, apart from the fuss and fuss among a few little brats who join in the fun, are basically just for fun and passing the time.
For example, when Yang Dongxu and Xiao Wu play cards, they don't care about winning or losing at all. Winning brings good luck to the new year and I feel good. It doesn't matter if I lose. Everyone's main focus is no longer on playing cards. Basically, they just sit together and chat. Playing cards is just a tool to sit down and chat.
When a few people sit together and play cards, there will be some onlookers, and these people are undoubtedly their peers who are well-known in Yangjia Village.
For example, people like Yinshan, who is of the same generation as Father Yang, do well by sitting with Father Yang and others, playing cards, chatting and having fun.
For example, Gazi from the west end of the village, Sun Li and others of Yang Dongxu's generation, who were well off, would come over to watch, or sit at the card table, and others would not come here at all.
For example, the people sitting down to play cards this year are Yang Dongxu, Xiaowu, Daliang and Gazi. Xiaoliang is Daliang's brother, and the general is his cousin, so this year they did not sit down to play together, but sat on the sidelines and watched.
This year, whether Gazi is in the car repair shop, is in the agricultural machinery business, or heard about Yang Dongxu's battery car, business has been extremely good.
He was even vaguely superior to Xiao Wu and a few others, so he sat down to play cards without anyone having any objections.
In fact, this rule is not explicitly stipulated, but formed slowly and unintentionally.
People who are not doing well would not feel comfortable hanging around here, let alone sitting down to play cards. Therefore, everyone has a strong idea about this rule.
At this time of year, we can play cards and chat. Those who feel they are qualified can come over. Those who are not qualified can just come over and others won’t say anything and they won’t feel comfortable staying there.
Moreover, at this poker venue where Yang Dongxu is present on New Year's Eve, all the people who come here are from Yangjiacun, and the shop owners on the street will not come to join in the fun.
This is not exclusive, but a tacit rule. After all, people in a village are all related to each other for several generations. Why would you, a businessman from outside, come here to join in the fun on New Year's Eve?
So on New Year's Eve, all people from Yangjiacun gather at the card court. When everyone sits down tomorrow on New Year's Day, there will be no rules. If you like it, come over to play cards and chat. If you don't like it, don't come over. No. There will no longer be these particularities.
"East wind." Yang Dongxu threw out a card and said, "After the weather gets warmer next year, it is estimated that the first batch of spring outing tourists will arrive.
Although public security is the responsibility of the police, you guys should take more care of it when you are at home, not just in Yangjia Village, but also in some surrounding villages. Those who are causing trouble and petty thieves should be told to get out in advance, so as not to damage our area. image of. "
Although Xiao Wu and others have not been involved in the world, they have not formed any gangs. But among the people in these eight villages, the name of Yangjiacun is definitely a good thing.
It’s not that the police are not good, Yangjiacun is better than the police. But there are some things that can be handled much more conveniently by Xiao Wu and a few people than by the police.
For example, some gangsters on the street do things that are disgusting and even harass tourists, but they don't break the law. Even if it is in the name of public security regulations, those who were detained for three to five days and a week will be released again, and then continue to cause trouble.
When encountering such people, some unwritten rules of the world are more convenient than directly calling the police.
When you encounter these bastards who are still shameless, you will be fine just sit down and have a drink without bothering the police.
When you meet those who are shameless and think that they are a nobody, even though the public security is very good now, it is not uncommon for them to be beaten with sacks.
At the same time, given the influence of Yangjiacun in eight villages in ten miles, the police can only detain the gangster and then criticize and educate him. But Xiaowu and the others can make these bastards drive away if they can't fight them in their hometown.
In short, when it comes to observing the rules, let the police come. After all, the police need to enforce the law on a public basis. If you don't follow the rules, then follow the rules. In order to harmonize the environment, as long as you make trouble, no matter which one you choose, you will be treated submissively.
