Chapter 244: New Year's Greetings
"Yes, Chunlan, Mengqi, you guys also come to eat a bowl of rice balls!" At this moment, Li Wenrong walked out of the house, and when he saw the two girls, he greeted him warmly.
"Auntie, no need, we've all had breakfast, and we're full!" Yin Chunlan wanted to chase after the poor man bravely, but was interrupted by Li Wenrong, and she was embarrassed to go into the house to collect debts for a while.
"Okay, let's sit in the house for a while." After finishing speaking, Li Wenrong was not welcome and went back to the back room to eat.
"Sister, I think it's okay, don't be too greedy, I think this jade pendant is really not simple. It's great that someone else can give one to each of us! Wang Mengqi was more empathetic and persuaded Yin Chunlan.
"Okay, I see, but you don't know how slippery this kid is, and he can only take half of his word. I'll have to beat it for a while, and I can't count it out of something good. Hee-hee! Yin Chunlan smiled wickedly at Wang Mengqi.
Yang Jiya's three sisters and brothers quickly eliminated a large bowl of rice balls, and then everyone happily walked out of the courtyard and came outside to start happily playing the game of building snowmen and snowball fights.
Playing and playing, people are playing more and more, not only the little pot friends like this snow scene, but even the adults also like it very much, joining the snowman and snowball fight.
And many people in the city under the mountain have also climbed up the mountain to enjoy the snow, this person is more and more gathered, the more fun the more lively. Fortunately, the sky is beautiful, in response to Yang Jibin's request, the snow is getting bigger and bigger, quite powerful, the snow on the ground is getting thicker and thicker, many children directly find basins from home, and the snow is poured towards the crowd one by one, which is really fun.

Today is the first day of the first lunar month, and it is also a good day to worship the New Year.
New Year's greetings are a traditional Chinese folk custom, which refers to the New Year's greeting to the elders of the family and congratulating relatives and friends. It is a form of people visiting each other to congratulate the Spring Festival and express farewell to the old and welcome the new.
What we usually know is that on the first day of the first lunar month, the head of the family leads the juniors out to meet relatives, friends, and elders. Celebrate the New Year to each other in auspicious words, and the lowly must kowtow, which is called "New Year's greetings". The host family is warmly entertained with snacks, sweets, red envelopes, etc.
The custom of Chinese New Year's greetings has been practiced for a long time. In ancient times, there was a distinction between New Year's greetings and New Year's greetings: New Year's greetings were to bow to the elders; The Chinese New Year is a time for peers to congratulate each other. Later, some institutions, group holidays, enterprises, and schools gathered together to congratulate each other, which was called "group worship".
New Year's greetings, in fact, there is also a legend. A lot of people have probably heard of it.
Legend has it that in ancient times there was a kind of sprinkling. The head nail has a long horn, and the mouth is like a blood basin, and people call it "Nian". On the 30th night of the lunar month, it will rush out of the mountains and forests. Predator eats man. People had to prepare some meat and put it outside the door, then close the door and hide in their homes until the morning of the first day of the new year. After the "year" is full of meals, people open the door to see each other. Congratulations to the minister.
And in the dictionary of the people of Tianfu. In fact, New Year's greetings are "leaving the household". Relatives and friends visit each other's doors, and people set up banquets for each other, as if they want to eat the feast of the year in these ten days.
The so-called "walkers" are usually visiting elderly and senior relatives, and they should bring chickens, eggs, thin strips of flour, wine, cigarettes/tobacco leaves, and other promising gifts. The daughter-in-law and aunt went back to their parents' homes and stayed for a few days in the countryside. The bazaars and teahouses are very lively, there are many performances such as Sichuan opera and storytelling, and the city goes to the lantern festival at night.
The little pot friends in Yangjiazhai all know that they go to the old Yang family to pay New Year's greetings. Affirming that the oil and water are abundant, the first stop in the group went to the Yang family's ancestral house to pay New Year's greetings to Yang Yiren and Feng and others.
"Grandpa Yang. Happy New Year, Grandma Feng! A group of children shouted loudly, and their movements were very consistent, bowing to Yang Yiren and Feng Shi and others, and they were very polite, and they all fought hard for the sake of benefits.
Yang Yiren happily took out a large stack of change bills. One yuan per person, Feng Shi took out a big box, which contained a lot of things, melon seeds, oil horns, biscuits, winter melon candy, lotus root candy, etc., for the children to take. The little ones are not welcome, either. He reached out and grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his pocket.
I also ate things and took red envelopes. The little ones had no intention of lingering, and continued to set off for other places, apparently preparing to tour the village. Crowds, continue to sweep the work!
In fact, New Year's greetings are also very particular about time, it is best to find a suitable time and learn to control the time.
Choosing the right time is the first element of New Year's greetings. Due to the usual hard work. If you come to the door too early to pay New Year's greetings, it often catches the owner off guard. Some people like to choose to pay New Year's greetings at night, and sitting for several hours will inevitably affect the owner's rest. The length of stay is generally half an hour to 40 minutes, so as not to be polite and not to interfere with the host to receive other guests. When greeting the New Year, if you enter the door to say "Happy New Year" and then leave in a hurry, it will give people a feeling of "lack of sincerity".
Of course, today is also the time to practice your eloquence, your stomach is out of stock, and it will look boring if it is a good New Year. In fact, there are also a lot of New Year's greeting words, as if what is smooth sailing, two dragons take off, three sheep open Thailand, four seasons of peace, five blessings, six six Shun, seven stars shine, eight directions to wealth, ninety-nine concentric, perfect.
The three Yang Jiya sisters and brothers also visited many people's homes under the leadership of adults, and visited the elders in the family, which made Yang Jishun complain a little and delayed his time for eating and having fun.
New Year's gifts, Yang Jibin naturally will not forget his master, more than twice as many spiritual objects as he usually respects, and the best quality spiritual tea, spiritual herbs, and spiritual liquids are selected, which makes the old Taoist smile and praise Yang Jibin again and again.
Although Lao Dao has long learned to make a divine hoe, and has transformed a large piece of spiritual soil, and the quality of the tea and herbs planted has been greatly improved, there is still a world of difference between it and these spiritual objects sent by Yang Jibin.
Lao Dao can be regarded as touching the threshold of cultivation, not only needs to deeply understand the Taoist principles, but also needs a large amount of spiritual energy support, Yang Jibin's continuous supply of spiritual objects, so that he has complete hope to go to the next level.
During the winter vacation, Yang Jibin often went to the Yaowang Temple to accompany the master to taste tea, drink, chat, discuss medical skills, and so on. For the rapid development of Yang Jibin's various abilities, and for his blue and better than the blue, Lao Dao was very surprised and happy, and he has unconsciously regarded him as an equal person in the recent discussion.
Time for joy always flies quickly, and today is February 26th.
In the Charmmaster Apprentice-level Trial of the Trial Cave the night before yesterday, although Xiao Zi's setting was very perverted, Yang Jibin had the last laugh with his solid skills and passed with a perfect five-star completion.
Since then, Yang Jibin's six professional levels have all reached the apprentice level, and what makes him angry is that the time for the next level of trial has suddenly changed from the original one month to three months to a trial cave. (To be continued.) )
