Chapter 527: The Year of the Celebrity
One is in Lianquan Village, there are similar customs.
In the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, New Year's greetings will be held, because in the past, most of the relatives and the like were in a village or neighboring villages, and they got up in the morning to visit the relatives and the elders.
Go to the homes of the elders in the same village to pay New Year's greetings. If you meet those long-lived old people who are over 90 years old, many people of Chen Yuanping's age will bow to each other, and if they are close to each other, they will kneel and kowtow directly.
The earlier your chimney smokes, the earlier you go to pay New Year's greetings, and they are all preaching to the neighbors of Shili and Eight Villages that your family is diligent and starts to light a fire to cook and go out to pay New Year's greetings so early.
The custom was originally a kind of worship between people after dawn, and as time went by, this time became earlier and earlier, and gradually there was a meaning of comparison, who was the earliest, who was the latest.
You have also become an elder, and when you go out to pay New Year's greetings, what should you do if you miss it, at an age like Chen Yuanping, it is he who goes out to let Qiao Xinmei be at home, and at an age like Ma Defu Chen Xue, you can go out with the whole family.
Chen Hao went home at just the right time, four o'clock, the car entered Lianquan Village, the second-hand car trading market on the side of the road at the entrance of the village was pitch black, only two high hanging red lanterns, now the lifting door is there, and the nearby residents are all employees of the trading market, in such a holiday, everyone looks after each other is no problem.
There are cars from the bonded area, there are second-hand cars collected from all over the country, Haozi second-hand car trading market business is very good, and now it has become a second-hand car distribution center within a radius of dozens of kilometers from Meicheng with the original second-hand car trading market, specifically about a lot of things about this trading market, these two days financial people will go to Chen Hao's home to pay New Year's greetings, and talk about specific things by the way.
When the car entered the village, the chimneys of many houses were emitting smoke, and the living standards of the villagers in Lianquan Village this year have generally improved, and the New Year was also lively and festive, and the village was particularly lively in the early morning of the first day of the new year.
The village has not built street lights, at this time the light depends on the lights of every household and the people who come out with flashlights in their hands, in winter such as Lianquan Village, almost no people come out to walk around, the second-hand car trading center is better after the establishment, the appearance of several small restaurants nearby, people are popular, but turn to the road inside, it is still very quiet, only in the early morning of the first day of the new year, you will take advantage of the dim light, see people walking around, if you don't understand the customs here, come here at this time, the picture is actually quite scary, the moonlight spread down in the sky, plus the light of the red lantern, people who hurried to each house one by one, without making a sound, were really quite infiltrating.
All the way back from Yanjing to the 'domineering', the people in the village saw the car, but they didn't expect it to be Haozi, they hadn't seen this car, and they didn't dare to think that he, who was still performing on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala a few hours ago, would return to the village at this moment.
When the car arrived at the door, Chen Yuanping, who was dressed in clothes, was about to go out, and the people of the old Chen family who came to visit the New Year would deliberately delay it for a while, and they would wait until Chen Yuanping came back to pay New Year's greetings.
"Dad, it's New Year's greetings to you. β
Without any hesitation, Chen Hao knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to his father to greet the New Year.
Chen Yuanping's subconscious reaction was to step forward to stop him, but he didn't move anymore when he saw that his son had already knelt down, and he received such a New Year's gift.
"Mom, it's New Year's greetings for you. β
"Grandparents, I kowtow to your second elder, I wish you good health. β
"Grandpa, I have kowtowed to your second elder, I wish you good health. β
Chen Hao didn't take off his clothes or change them, and when he saw the four old people who were already sitting upright and his mother who was making a fire, he knelt down and kowtowed when they met, if it was last year, he greeted the New Year like this, no one would feel how, the children in the countryside still follow the old etiquette, and they have been taught like this since they were young, but today, Chen Hao's behavior makes all the relatives around him nod secretly, this child, no wonder people have a big future, just rush here, few of the children of the old Chen family and the old Qiao family have done it, Xiao Hao's aunt married to the field, and she has always been the best among relatives before her life, look at the two children of her family, that is the baby pimple, come to the countryside for the New Year, except for picking fat and thin, there is nothing else, where is there any respect for the elderly.
The reason for everyone's admiration is very simple, the change of identity brings about a difference in the value of this kneeling.
Most of the people played all night, push-pai-gow, playing cards, and two mahjong machines allowed ladies to play all night. The four old people went to bed at ten o'clock, got up at three o'clock, everyone stopped playing regardless of winning or losing, cleaned up inside and outside, all the lights in the house were lit, and the searchlights in the yard were also lit, Yuanping was the village director, and there must be many people who came to pay New Year's greetings early this morning.
Chen Hao's return made the atmosphere of the whole family lively, and the four old people, including Chen Yuanping and his wife, were all dressed in clean and festive new clothes today, and they all had a lot of New Year's money in their pockets.
"Don't be too little, kid. β
The grandparents took out a brand-new red ticket of 100 yuan, and seemed to feel a little embarrassed to give it to their grandson, but Chen Hao took it with joy, he could understand that there are so many children in the younger generation, and the old people used to give more than fifty yuan in the past, and it was usually only twenty yuan.
Grandpa and grandfather are the same, these two families have four generations, can they not give New Year's greetings? When they kneel down and kowtow, they have to give New Year's money, and they basically don't have any expenses in their pockets.
Chen Yuanping and Qiao Xinmei gave Chen Hao a red envelope of 1,000 yuan by one person, this year's children in the family are all this number, and when they reach the little grandson, it is 10,000 yuan, and the younger generations of foreign relatives come to pay New Year's greetings to 200 yuan, and if there is money in the waist, the waist is hard.
"Gangzi, you can drive away, Brother Kang, go to my room to move some gifts, tell my Aunt Dongmei, I'll go to her to greet her when it's empty. β
Chen Gang nodded and was not polite, after greeting the old people, this is just a meeting to greet the New Year, and there will definitely be a formal process with his mother to come to the New Year, and the scale of this New Year's greeting cannot be small.
"Second sister, Brother Kang has handed it over to you, and I will introduce it to my family. β
Chen Hao pushed Kang Yan to the second sister Chen Yu, and now the whole family knew what was going on, and the man who treated this silent man with no sense of existence suddenly became interested, surrounded him, and was first pulled by Chen Hao's grandfather to the big kang in the east house, and enthusiastically held hands and asked for warmth.
Chen Hao followed Chen Yuanping and began to pay New Year's greetings, and every house was received with the highest standard, and those who hid one or two boxes of good cigarettes at home were also taken out to entertain, one was the village director, and the other was the great benevolent person and the leader of getting rich in the village, the song "Always Go Home to See" last night was sung to people's hearts, and it also made everyone more willing to pat their chests and brag to outsiders, the big star Chen Hao was raised by me since I was a child.
There are two centenarians in the village, and the father and son go to give a deep salute to congratulate the old man on his longevity, which also has a metaphor, the more respect you have for the elderly, the more you will get good fortune, and you will also borrow the blessings of others.
The news that the big star is back soon spread throughout the village, on the way to the New Year, I met acquaintances in the village many times, and the greeting and chatting was delayed for twenty or thirty minutes, and when I arrived at each house, I was asked to sit down, and if I didn't sit, it was like not giving face, and when they went home, it was already half past six, and the sky was cloudy, Chen Yuanping's coat pocket, two pockets were stuffed with cigarettes one by one, and everyone handed one when I saw it, not to mention anything else, this way was just tea, and I drank dozens of kinds, and people poured you a cup, how can you take a sipγ
The old Chen family is now the well-deserved No. 1 household in Lianquan Village, and even in the suburbs of nearby Shiliba Village and Meicheng, it is a family that makes people give a thumbs up.
Chen Hao has been busier along the way, he has been photographed countless times, to whose house, those young people who have to be driven away by their parents on the morning of the first day of the new year on weekdays, now they don't have to, they are more active than anyone else, the mobile phone is always holding high to shoot Chen Hao, and even this way to pay New Year's greetings, there are more and more people around them.
Chen Hao didn't regard himself as a star, there are too many people who are too familiar with it, the peers who have played with him since childhood, the group that is three to six or seven years old who are running crazy behind him, including the big three or four-year-old group who have fought more than once with the peers he leads, are now all greeted with a smile on their faces, following themselves on the village road, chatting is full of laughter, how was it back then, who fought with whom, etc., Chen Hao didn't hold it at all, so he invited everyone to go and play with him if he had nothing to do in the past few days, and drink some wine togetherγ
You don't have to listen to whether he is sincere or fake, just this invitation is enough to warm the hearts of the big guys, who is this, is it my playmate when he was a child, and no, he is now a big star who can sing on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and he can also take a cigarette handed over by himself, beckoning himself to play at home, that's it, it's enough, we also have this capital when we go out to brag to others, don't you say I'm bragging, see it, there is a photo of us and Haozi in the mobile phone.
Chen Hao just arrived at home, the family began to come to the village people to pay New Year's greetings, and soon found that not only the villagers, but also the nearby villages and even the city came to a lot of people, the fitness room at home changed to the reception room of the flow of people, the four old people in the east house also continued to pay New Year's greetings, and soon a car appeared in the village, early in the morning the photos and videos taken in the village were uploaded by young people, and now they all knew that Haozi had gone home, and the fans who lived in Meicheng and nearby within twenty or thirty kilometers had the conditions to drive, so they rushed over as soon as possible......
