Chapter 37: Such a New Year
When I arrived at Anton's old house, everything was like an alarm clock that set the time, and every step was implemented step by step, I have to say that the various etiquettes of country H on traditional festivals such as the Spring Festival are very cumbersome, and the big family is quite solemn and serious, Li Shusheng, the participant who played soy sauce throughout the whole process, felt a little tired, not to mention the main executor-all the women of the Li family.
H people are very particular about Chinese New Year's Eve dinners and eat at home. They believe that the Spring Festival is a major event to pay tribute to ancestors and inherit filial piety. Having a reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve is not only rare, but also symbolizes the prosperity of the family. At this time, even the owner of the restaurant said that since every family went home for the New Year, the chefs and waiters were no exception. Going home to worship ancestors is more important than opening a business to make money. [Although the stick is not pleasing in many aspects, it is indeed more serious than the domestic traditional festival, and the New Year's flavor is becoming less and less is a fact that we have to admit]
On Chinese New Year's Eve, after eating all the women's hard work to prepare all kinds of food for an afternoon, grain rice, muffin cakes, steamed buns, pickles, and barbecue, although I already wanted to vomit, but after dinner was delayed by two hours than the night, hunger and collective dining, Li Shusheng felt for the first time that the original kimchi still had a time to make people feel delicious.
At night, everyone fell asleep very early to meet the busyness of the first day of the first lunar month, Li Shusheng was unimpressed, and was ready to chat with someone, but several women all sent blessing text messages at about 11 o'clock, and then disappeared collectively, and he had to sleep obediently under depression
The next day, as soon as there was a touch of fish belly white in the east, Li Shusheng was awakened by Li Xiuying's shouting voice, rubbing his sleepy eyes, looking at his mother who had finished washing and wearing a red and pink hanbok and the neatly placed blue and ink hanbok next to the bed, he couldn't help but cover his face: "Shit! ”
"No swearing during the Spring Festival!" Li Xiuying rebuked lovingly: "Hurry up and get dressed, we've been up for more than half an hour"
"Hey, I know!"
Li Shusheng's following itinerary is as follows:
7 a.m. Walk to the uphill slope behind the ancient house to worship the ancestors. Because people here believe that the deceased ancestors only return on the first day of the new year to taste the sacrificial food. Therefore, there is a strict saying about worshipping ancestors, and there are rules such as "fish east meat west", "head east tail west", "red east and white west", "jujube chestnut pear persimmon", "raw east and cooked west", "left rice and right soup" and so on, and the procedures of sacrifice are also very strict. During the ceremony, after various foods are offered on the spiritual table with the names of the ancestors written on them, the descendants pour wine and then make a salute. Express gratitude to your ancestors and ask them to bless them with peace and health throughout the year.
At half past eight in the morning, I finally ate my first meal of the day - rice cake soup. Drinking this pure "New Year's meal" that symbolizes the light of the sun and the rebirth of all things, Li Shusheng's limbs, which were frozen by the breeze on the mountain, only regained some consciousness. Facing the first ray of sunshine in 2007, he silently vowed: TMD, next year, who loves to go to the ancestors, can't you choose a better time period when you run to the mountains in the morning to be cold.
Perhaps his disrespect was heard by the ancestors of the Anton Lee clan, and as soon as this thought arose, he immediately sneezed loudly, and the white snot and saliva were mixed together and spewed out far away. It looked extremely obvious under the sunlight, and Li Shusheng immediately took a deep breath and covered his mouth. At the same time, I thought in my heart: No. It's so wicked, let's come back next year."
After worshipping the ancestors and eating breakfast, the younger generations will pay New Year's greetings to the elders. Of course, there is also a strict order of "grandparents→ parents→ uncles. Aunt → uncle. Uncle and aunt → brothers", there is no way to cross the line, and at this time, the adults of several families are returning to their respective rooms and waiting for the visit of the younger generation. Following the customs of the locals, Li Shusheng resisted the urge to tear off his awkward clothes and give New Year's greetings to the elders one by one.
After turning around, he threw the crushed money on the table, and directly took off the burden on his body and got into the quilt. He had decided not to go out except for meal time. Flip through your laptop and talk to yourself
Fortunately, there is still a couple in country H who are idle and bored, Tony and Huang Meiying are almost bored to death in the hotel, because the Spring Festival holiday is 3 days, many shops are closed, and the two of them with big nerves almost didn't starve to death, and finally Tony took her to some neighborhoods where foreigners gather to avoid the tragedy of starvation.
Solved the problem of food and clothing, people are really bored, naturally to explore the deep knowledge of the human body, Huang Meiying grew up in country M, naturally she can let go, and any action can be made under the guidance of Tony, a former theoretical master. But constantly tired and easy to get tired, Tony in order to keep fresh, constantly searching for more love on the Internet. Fun way
So the lonely Li Shusheng and the empty Tony met on the first day of the new year in an online way-
Li Shusheng: "Boring, crazy, irritable, come and come, the battle network is up, 2 black work!" ”
Tony: "Don't make a fuss, you're busy looking for things - no one is playing games during the Chinese New Year"
Li Shusheng: "Don't be funny, this is the Spring Festival in the East, and there are still people playing games at home at Christmas, and the speed is up."
Tony: "I'm lying in bed, how to play, I just had an activity with my sister, and I don't feel good!" ”
Li Shusheng: "The second Ao, the beast." Lao Tzu has been pure and has been lying down for a few days, it's okay, the great god will take you fly! ”
Tony hesitated: "Mind if I use the touchpad to operate"
Li Shusheng quickly replied: "Me too!" Walk you-"
"Dio, you can win this way," Tony typed subtitles into the platform's chat screen.
"Of course, with me, lie down to win" Li Shusheng shook the mouse coaxingly, of course he couldn't just use the touch pad to operate.
Tony lost a few points and was just about to fight back, Huang Meiying had already woken up, and a pink and snow-white lotus root arm stretched out from the quilt and naturally hooked his neck, and then nephrite attacked, and the fragrant wind burst, and the wonderful silkiness rushed into his arms.
"Aren't you sleeping" fluttering eyelashes, Huang Meiying muttered and arched, "Are you playing a game with Shu Sheng OPPA Well, this orc is so Q"
"Honey, it's inconvenient for you to hold me like this," Tony wrapped his head around her and leaned against the hard board of the bedside table.
"Then don't play, go watch a movie with me" Huang Meiying snorted, a large piece of snow-white back fruit was exposed, and this time her hands were directly circled: "Honey, the action just now is so exciting, let's do it again!"
"This game has just started, it's not okay!" What else Tony wanted to say, Huang Meiying had already pouted and kissed deeply, and the poor notebook slid down the sheets
"Hello? Why haven't you been sending troops, the hero has replied to feed people! "Somebody on the other side is crazy.
System Prompt: Player XXX leaves the game.
Li Shusheng looked up to the sky and sighed: "Can you still spend this New Year?" (To be continued......)
