On 18 September 1999, China's State Council revised and promulgated the Measures for National Holidays and Anniversaries, stipulating that the Spring Festival, Labour Day, National Day and New Year are "all citizens' holidays", of which the Spring Festival, Labour Day and National Day are three days, and New Year's Day is one day;
Since the National Day holiday in 2000, the vacation time of the three festivals of National Day, Spring Festival and Labor Day has been uniformly adjusted, and the two weekends and four days before and after the holiday and the three days of statutory holidays have been moved, so that a total of 7 days has been taken. Since then, this holiday system has been introduced, and the holidays on each of these three holidays are called "long holidays", usually preceded by the name of the holiday. Such as: National Day holiday, Labor Day holiday, and so on.
The National Day of 2000 is the first long holiday enjoyed by all citizens after the promulgation of the "National Festival and Memorial Day Holiday Measures" by the State Council of China, according to the notice of the Huxian Education Bureau, Hushan Middle School will be closed from October 1 (Sunday) to October 7 (Saturday), and students will return to school on October 8 (Sunday).
The seven-day holiday can be regarded as a real long vacation, and the teachers in the compound of Toyama Middle School plan to relax according to their own situation, or visit relatives and friends, or go on vacation, or relax at home, anyway, they plan to enjoy this rare holiday in various forms.
Other teachers in the school can go out to play or rest during the National Day holiday, but not in the spring, because on the day of the National Day, there will be something big happening in the old Chun's family, and the spring is indispensable to follow the busy work.

This matter started more than half a month ago.
The big event that is about to happen in Lao Chun's family is a great joy, in fact, Chunyu's younger brother Chunyu will marry his beloved girlfriend He Xinyan on National Day.
Chunyu and He Xinyan have been acquaintances, acquaintances and lovers for more than a year, and the two get along very well, and they have also identified each other as the objects they can trust for life. Moreover, the old people of the two families are also very satisfied with Chunyu and He Xinyan, and they have long urged the two to get married early. However, because Chunyu and He Xinyan were busy with their respective work, the marriage was postponed again and again until September 2000. In the end, at the urging of the two families, Chunyu and He Xinyan hurriedly decided to schedule the wedding date for the National Day in 2000.
Originally, according to the meaning of the two old people, the marriage of Chunyu and He Xinyan still had to follow the marriage customs and customs of the Hushan area, and they had to go through a series of trivial procedures such as "fixing marriage", "sending the day", "watching three" and "returning to four". However, Chunyu and He Xinyan firmly oppose this practice, saying that they are a new generation of young people with a new education, and they have the obligation to take the lead in curbing bad habits in the countryside and advocating a new style of civilization. Therefore, Chunyu and He Xinyan decided not to take the cumbersome etiquette of "fixing marriage", "sending the day" and "watching three" and "returning to four", and planned to hold a simple wedding ceremony in Shimengouzi Village on the day of the National Day, and then the two of them were ready to take advantage of the National Day holiday to come to a tourist marriage, and the tickets and hotels had already been booked in advance.
Regarding Chunyu and He Xinyan's decision, the two old people were resolutely opposed at first. Especially the old-brained Chun Shuli, who was even more annoyed by this, claiming that if Chunyu and He Xinyan dared to do this, he would cut off the father-son relationship with Chunyu.
Although there was a lot of pressure from the opposition of the families on both sides, Chunyu and He Xinyan were determined to do so. So, the two of them had to show their powers and find someone to do the ideological work of both parents.
In the face of his father's stubbornness and persistence, the only person Chunyu can turn to for help is Spring, who is his brother. Because Spring, as the eldest son in the family, his father still gives Spring face in many things.
Although Spring also approved of Chunyu and He Xinyan doing this in his heart, Chun knew his father's temper and guessed that the reason why his father did this was probably not because he was imprisoned in the rules and regulations of those traditional marriage customs, but because he wanted to let the old Chun family have a good time in front of the villagers by making Chunyu's big wedding, just like his father did his best to manage the wedding for Chun. In the eyes of many people, weddings and funerals are a "face project", so many people have to borrow debts to make the wedding or funeral beautiful even if they break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs. However, in the Hushan area, especially in those remote villages, the style of weddings and funerals is even more prevalent, if the red and white ceremonies of the family are too simple and shabby, at least the village neighbors will point fingers behind the back and pay attention to the first half of the year, and even will be used as a "model" for destroying customs and habits. Spring estimates that his father may also be afraid of this, if his father connived at Chunyu to do some kind of travel and marriage, then he must not be scolded to death by those brainless old people in the village?
