During the Spring Festival of 1644, various events were held in all controlled areas of the Far East to celebrate the New Year. As lively and peaceful as ever, whether it is the most grassroots ordinary farmers, or the factories and mines in major towns, every household is immersed in the joy of the festival.

The festival of Shenyang is even more lively, this is the heart of the Far East Company, so the company is also sparing no effort to create a festive atmosphere.

This year, the company's various celebrations in Shenyang are arranged in the suburbs of Shenyang along the Hunhe River. Compared with the past, because of the large area of the Hunhe area on the outskirts of the city, some relatively large garden party activities can be gathered together.

In the past, during the Spring Festival in Shenyang, although there were many celebrations, the location was scattered, which made it difficult for the citizens of Shenyang to watch them one by one, and they did not have enough fun.

This year, all the activities were arranged on the outskirts of the city, which not only facilitated management, but also maximized the use of resources. The most important thing is to let all the citizens have a good time along the Hunhe River, the whole process is a dragon down, and it often takes a few days to have fun.

In the urban area, each street and square is decorated with a variety of ice lanterns, lanterns and other festive decorations, focusing on highlighting the festive atmosphere, and can also greatly alleviate the chaotic safety problems such as crowding in the urban area.

In addition to the ********, lantern exhibitions, Spring Festival temple fairs, lion and dragon dances, lantern riddle parties and other activities along the Hunhe River, a lot of resources have been invested in various celebrations along the banks of the Hunhe River this year.

Although it cannot be compared with the well-known Harbin ice lanterns in modern society, it still caused a great sensation in Shenyang, and countless citizens came with their families, forming a grand scene of thousands of empty alleys to see ice lanterns.

In addition, various grassroots units have also organized a variety of colorful activities, all of which are arranged here. The Yangko team organized by the farmers from the Liao people, the waist drum team organized by the farmers from the Shanxi people, and various competitions such as tug-of-war, singing competitions, and group dances.

Moreover, the venue for the Spring Festival celebration is larger, accommodating more people, and it is also very convenient for the grassroots farmers around Shenyang. The company also issued a notice to all grassroots units around Shenyang, hoping that the majority of farmers would come to participate in the Spring Festival celebrations.

Of course, the unforeseen happened. Although the company's notice only notified some relatively close grassroots units around Shenyang. Who would have thought that the news would spread rapidly to the surrounding areas at an alarming speed.

Every household in the Chinese New Year's Eve needs to eat and observe the New Year, so they can't go out at night, but since the beginning of the new year, grassroots farmers everywhere have begun to take action. The peasant households in the surrounding areas of Shenyang came spontaneously or were organized by the squadron and gathered in Shenyang from all directions.

Many peasant households set out in the middle of the night, braving the harsh cold winds, in temperatures of minus twenty or thirty degrees, driving ox carts for several hours, and rushing to the banks of the Hunhe River to participate in this large-scale Chinese New Year celebration. There are farmers who drive the sleigh for a day and a night, or even longer, just to join in the fun.

Of course, in such a distant area, they were all organized by their respective squadrons, and often the whole village was mobilized, leaving only a few families, and the rest of the old and young masters rushed to Shenyang.

They are all tightly wrapped, with autumn clothes and autumn pants inside, and then cotton jackets and cotton pants, and finally a cotton coat, a cotton hat on their heads, thick cotton hands on their hands, a thick woolen scarf around their faces, and thick wool socks and raw wool cotton leather shoes on their feet, even if it is cold, they are not afraid.

Even the ploughing oxen pulling the cart were covered with thick felt, and the man still carried a small bottle of liquor in his arms, and when he couldn't stand it anymore, he raised his head and took a sip to warm his body.

Women and children also have a way, the wooden box on the ox cart is wrapped with a thick cover inside and outside three layers, which are filled with hot food, all of which are out of the pot before departure, there are large meat buns, large pieces of steamed meat, stacks of sugar cakes and other high-calorie things, when it is cold, take a bite, and instantly resurrect with full blood.

From midnight on the first day of the Lunar New Year, there was a spectacular scene in the area around Shenyang.

Countless lights and stars slowly converged together, forming a series of fire dragons, gathering overwhelmingly towards Shenyang from all directions.

The airship detachment that was on strategic duty in Shenyang was the first to see this scene, and the officers and men were all frightened, and their first reaction was to think that the enemy was besieging Shenyang.

One by one, the telegrams were sent back to the duty room of the Shenyang Military Commission, and they were also transmitted to the board of directors and committees through the reports from one level to the next. Gao Jianguo, Wang He, and others were all woken up from their sleep in the middle of the night, and rushed to the combat duty room of the Military Commission one by one.

The company still encourages and supports farmers from all over the world to participate in this event, but it did not expect to develop into such a situation. In the face of such a severe emergency, everyone smiled bitterly, and knew that this Spring Festival was not to stop. With so many peasant households from all over the country rushing to Shenyang, the number of them is already hundreds of thousands, and if we don't organize and manage them well, there may be a big mess.

The Spring Festival is a festive and peaceful festival, even if any child is squeezed, it is a disappointment. What's more, if so many farmers gather in Shenyang, in case of a stampede, the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable.

One committee member proposed to set up barricades to persuade the farmers to go back. But in an instant, everyone was sprayed wildly, especially Gao Jianguo, whose foaming star almost sprayed on the face of this commissioner.

Paralyzed, is it easy for the Far East to get to where it is today?

If the company really does this, it will inevitably lose a lot of people's hearts. For the Chinese New Year, the majority of farmers have been preparing for today, and their wives and children may have been looking forward to it for a few days.

They got up in the middle of the night at the beginning of the Lunar New Year and started to set off, rushed over, and then were stopped, and actually asked them to rush back the same way.

The root cause of this emergency is that the company's own work has not been done well, and it has a relationship with farmers in various places.

Fortunately, the company's organizational ability and ability to deal with emergencies have been tested over the years. After a short period of research and discussion, a series of countermeasures were immediately formulated.

The first to act was the Military Commission, and Gao Jianguo and others urgently mobilized the garrison troops around Shenyang.

With the sound of rapid sirens, the officers and men of the various barracks were awakened from their sleep. This was followed by a series of rapid whistles, and the leading cadres of each detachment instantly entered the state, picked up the whistle and blew it.

The officers and men of the Far East, who had been conducting emergency assembly training all year round, dressed themselves as quickly as possible, packed their backpacks, and rushed out of the barracks to line up in the playground.

Emergency reception centers have been set up on various traffic arteries around Shenyang.

The emergency reception center is fully equipped, including a central office equipped with various radio stations, and a temporary wired telephone set up by the communications unit to connect to the emergency headquarters in Shenyang.

Each emergency center is surrounded by a parking lot for ox carts, a rest area for farmers, a central service area, a medical assistance area, an awareness activity area, and a children's playground.

Of course, most of the areas have only been vacated, and all kinds of facilities and personnel are being rapidly transferred from the Ethnic Affairs Committee on a large scale.

When Li Laogen drove the ox cart to the outskirts of Shenyang, the sky was already dark. He snuggled up to the North Korean woman in his family, and the two children had long since lost their legs, and they were sleeping on the ox cart.

They were covered with two layers of felt under them, and several thick layers of coverings on their bodies, which were tightly covered so that only two small faces were exposed, and they could exhale a long haze with each breath. The two of them shielded their two sons from the cold wind, and even though it was so cold, they still slept soundly.

The woman was carrying one on her back. has two sons one after another, and finally looks forward to a daughter, who is less than a year old, Li Laogen is rare.

Since getting the news, the family has been preparing since childhood, especially the two sons who are excited and can't sleep every day. One may wonder why farmers in the Far East are so excited.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that these hard-pressed low-level farmers from the Ming Dynasty, every Spring Festival, their biggest wish is to be able to eat a decent full meal. But even such a simple idea is often impossible for most of them to achieve.

Since coming to the Far East, life has been getting better and better, first solving the problem of food and clothing, then having a woman, and finally having children, and completing the biggest thing in their lives, that is, to let their dead parents smile and succeed in passing on the lineage.

After all this was realized, the vast number of peasant households in the Far East began to have new aspirations, and gambling and alcoholism also appeared one after another in the vast number of grassroots rural areas, and even in some urban areas, some peasant households were even contaminated with the vice of soliciting prostitution.

As a matter of fact, these are all hidden among the peasant households by some bad elements who have been organized by demagoguery through various illegal means. They used to be some local scoundrels and ruffians in Daming, or they engaged in and participated in some shady livelihoods. Although the company carefully screened in the early stage of winter training, in the face of so many displaced people, it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net.

After the company found out about these situations, of course, it had to deal with it with a heavy hand, and ruthlessly cleaned up a group of typical diehards, and the methods were very cruel, which greatly deterred some lawbreakers, and many farmers who tried to embark on the wrong path slowly extinguished their restless thoughts.

However, this can only solve the problem temporarily, and it is a symptom rather than a cure. In fact, the root cause of the problem is that the amateur cultural life in the rural areas is relatively closed, and the vast number of rural households in eastern Liaoning and the outer northeast region have been idle for several months in the long winter.
