Happy New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai.

After the city was closed at night, Chinatown was still very lively. Many restaurants wore vests and Tang suits and cooked Yuanxiao at their doorsteps. As long as passers-by asked for it, they would serve a bowl to each other. Speaking the previous words in Chinese, I didn't feel any tension or fear.

Chinese New Year's Eve is also known as New Year's Eve, and lucky money is also called shock money, and copper coins are said to have the effect of exorcising evil spirits.

According to Lu Shi Chunqiu·Ji Dong Ji, the ancients used the method of beating drums to drive away the ghost of epidemic disease on the eve of the New Year. The beast, short of food due to the heavy snow in winter, often went to the nearby villages to find food. Because of its large body, bad temper, and abnormal ferocity, it brought great disasters to the villagers. At the end of the twelfth lunar month, people tidy up their clothes, help the old and the young, and go to the nearby bamboo forest to escape the evening.

Later, there was a clever child who invented firecrackers and scared the vicious Xi away. This clever child was named Nian. Because Xi is not dead, there is a habit of setting off firecrackers every year on the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month. On that night, the whole family will get together to have a New Year's Eve dinner, and stay up late at night to watch the year. It's almost time. At this time, a pot of steaming dumplings will be cooked for supper. Everyone will continue to watch the night. When it is dawn, everyone will visit each other and say some auspicious words, such as surprise and fortune.

Before the end of the Lantern Festival, the Spring Festival in China is not over, and the Lantern Festival is different from New Year's Eve, and the night snack has also been changed from dumplings to glutinous rice balls. Food can bring people a feeling of happiness, especially the sweet glutinous rice balls. While eating this sweet taste, Pomona patrolled her neighborhood. Many children are still setting off firecrackers at this time, and the upstairs neighbors opened The window was roaring, those little bastards didn't take it seriously at all, they put a Sky-Speeding Monkey at the window and ran away.

The dragon and lion dance team is rehearsing for tomorrow's event. This is a traditional program they have done for many years, but this year's situation is different from previous years. Some streets and alleys have been blocked, and there are traps arranged there. Don't be caught by wolves Instead, he pitted himself into it.

This is the biggest difference between Eastern Muggles and Western Muggles. They never deny the existence of magic. In fact, many of their folk customs are related to witchcraft and sacrifices. Dragon dance is one of the social fire performances. .

In the primitive society, human beings survived to defeat wild beasts. They often celebrated after hunting beasts, or pretended to be beasts at parties to celebrate. The dragons in the Muggle dance were spliced ​​out of imagination, which was different from Chinese fireballs. The custom has always existed. In the face of disasters and difficulties, it is extremely important to have an optimistic attitude. The fire entertains the gods and the people with incense. This kind of parade is different from the float parade, and it has a prayer meaning of praying for blessings.

Walking on such a street makes people feel energetic, unlike the deserted street, which gives people a deserted feeling like a ghost town.

Sugar was a luxury in ancient times, and ordinary people could not afford it, but now it is very cheap.

Glutinous rice and sesame seeds are not expensive, but this bowl of cheap glutinous rice balls makes the night watchmen feel very happy, and their efforts have been rewarded. This kind of warm human touch is rarely encountered in cold cities. that's it.

Cho Chang is a girl, but she is a Ravenclaw Seeker. She has to compete with the boys, and she is always bruised and bruised. Cedric often takes care of her. The boy is fair to all girls. , the result instead caused conflicts among the girls.

The Asian boys didn't see anyone going to Hogwarts. Pomona thought of the photo she saw in Ma Qingchen's wallet, maybe they all went to study in that fairy mountain.

The idea that men are superior to women in that country is very serious. Some skills are passed on to men but not to women. Of course, this is unfair to girls, but every country has its own troubles. For example, the British wizarding world discriminates against Muggles. This problem is common in the Chinese wizarding world. nonexistent.

This time the Quidditch World Cup, if it hadn't caught up with the Indonesian tsunami, the Chinese team might have become the favorite to win the championship, but it was a pity that it had to be postponed to the next one due to natural disasters, and she was looking forward to their performance.

Don't ruin my Kung Pao Chicken, Muggle Prime Minister! After eating the glutinous rice balls, she threw the disposable paper bowl into the trash can. Lily said that paper can be degraded, not as difficult to degrade as plastic.

She sincerely hopes that the world will become a little better.

When passing by a tea restaurant, the sound of music came from inside. She looked in through the window, and a group of elderly Chinese were practicing chorus.

What they sang was not a hymn, but a Chinese song:

A big river has wide waves, and the wind blows the fragrance of rice and flowers on both sides

My family lives on the shore, and I am used to listening to the boatman's chant and seeing the white sails on the boat.

This is a beautiful motherland, where I grew up

In this vast land, there are bright scenery everywhere

The girl is like a flower, the young man is so broad-minded

In order to open up a new world, I awakened the sleeping mountain and changed the shape of the river

This is the motherland of heroes, where I grew up

In this ancient land, the power of youth is everywhere

Good mountains, good water, good place, all roads are spacious

When a friend comes, there is good wine. If the jackal comes, there is a shotgun to meet him.

uh-huh.

Pomona was fascinated by the sound, when she suddenly heard this annoying, soft-spoken voice, she followed the voice expressionlessly, and she saw Doris Umbridge, the pink toad, She was holding a wand in her hand.

The prison disaster and the difficulties in her official career did not affect her much. She was no different from when she left Hogwarts, and time seemed to leave no trace on her.

Excuse me, may I have a look at your wand? she said in a girlishly sweet voice.

Of course. Pomona said with a sweet smile, drawing out her beech wand.

Oh. She pretended to be surprised and said, I'm really sorry, you look very unfamiliar, is it an Auror or a member of the werewolf special operations team?

Neither, I think you and I both know, 'Who am I'.

Umbridge looked up and down Pomona with blue eyes. It was perhaps the only beautiful face on that broad, flabby face, but the blue was so blue that it looked like Fake.

I heard from 'Sir' that I will have a colleague, is that you?

I think so. Pomona crossed her arms and looked at her warily. I heard that you tortured Harry.

I think I have explained clearly to the hearing that I did not use the Cruciatus Curse on Mr. Director, and he also forgave me. Umbridge praised in a tone like looking up at the stars in the sky, What a man he is Great and kind young man.

I think you should know the plan. If you find werewolves, drive them in the direction of Jureux Street. Pomona interrupted Umbridge coldly, and her goosebumps were about to stand on end.

Yes, I know, I have thirteen subordinates, how many do you have? She raised her voice and said triumphantly.

Only me.

Umbridge immediately made a fuss and laughed.

why are you laughing?

Oh, my dear, how can you hold a street by yourself. She said with a big laugh.

Oh, my dear, I think you may not really know who I am. Pomona sneered and said, You can call me Watson, in case there is an emergency, you don't even know what to call for help. !

The smirk on Umbridge's face disappeared, and her cheeks puffed up with anger, making her look more like a toad.

Pomona didn't bother to pay attention to her, turned around and continued wandering in the street, the chorus was still singing the song behind her.

Look, the Chinese still understand that when a friend comes, he has good wine, and when a jackal comes to greet him, he has a shotgun, but she can't figure it out, if a big river should be the Yellow River, the wheat should be planted along the Yellow River, when will the two sides of the Yellow River start planting rice? Which river does that river refer to?

Today my broom stood up, did yours stand up?
