Chapter 289: Greeting the New Year (Wishing Book Friends Prosperity in the Year of the Ox)

Chen Zhaojun took a seven-day holiday for the Spring Festival, and Zhang Guimei, who accompanied the two brothers in Wanning, boarded a plane to the north. accompanied Chen Zhaojun, Chen Zhaoguang and Zhang Guimei to the north, as well as Xue Bing and Wu Fengyao.

Xue Bing is a native of Hong Kong, and although there is also a strong New Year atmosphere in Hong Kong, because Xue Bing's parents are often the busiest time of the year during the Spring Festival, there is no time for the festival. So even if she goes home, she can only have a one-person Spring Festival, which is not interesting at all. Before that, Xue Bing had been studying in Europe every Spring Festival for several years, and on the European side, a group of Chinese gathered together could not be called the New Year at all. Therefore, Xue Bing, who has not experienced the taste of the Spring Festival for a long time, wants to feel the lively festive atmosphere of the New Year again. Therefore, she applied to Zhang Guimei as early as possible to go to Chen's house for the New Year, to experience the long-lost New Year's atmosphere, as well as the family New Year's atmosphere that has hardly appeared, and by the way, to appreciate the difference between the Spring Festival in the mainland and the Spring Festival in Hong Kong.

And Wu Fengyao had no relatives and no place to go, so at the kind invitation of Zhang Guimei, she could only go to Chen's house to spend this Spring Festival together.

Zhang Guimei likes these two girls very much, so she is naturally happy to let them go back to Beijing for the New Year together. In her opinion, when the family celebrates the New Year, the more people, the better, and the more lively the more New Year's flavor. In Zhang Guimei's opinion, these two girls are very well-behaved, even if they are accompanied by friends to have a lively New Year! Moreover, anyway, the family room of the General Staff is large enough. I'm not afraid of having no place to live. Bring the two girls back and let everyone pick them together. Let's see which one is more suitable to be the daughter-in-law of the Chen family. Therefore, in this regard, it is enough for Zhang Guimei to have a complete idea, and Chen Zhaojun is not allowed to interject any sentence.

Chen Zhaojun is also quite helpless about these two girls going home for the New Year together, after all, there is an old mother here, and it is useless to say anything. In fact, for these two girls to go home together for the New Year, add a little bit of lively atmosphere to the New Year. Chen Zhaojun still agrees. It's just that he is quite awkward about Zhang Guimei's idea, this mother treats the two girls as prospective daughters-in-law, and she doesn't know what treatment she will be treated after she goes back. I just hope that after my mother goes back, she won't mess around with the mandarin duck score, and don't express some misunderstood actions to others, so that she can live such a relaxed, happy and happy year. and be content.

This year, the Chen family has more than two girls, Xue Bing and Wu Fengyao. This Spring Festival is also different from usual, at least in terms of the number of people.

Chen Zhaojun's sister-in-law Li Aihong has been rated as one of the most reputable sketch actors in the Spring Festival for several consecutive years, and she is also quite famous in the north and south of the country. Before the Spring Festival, many people were speculating whether she would go to the Spring Festival Gala again this year. This year's results will definitely disappoint the audience, for several years in a row, every year on the Spring Festival Gala, resulting in little time for me to reunite with my family, in Li Aihong's opinion, it is indeed a very regrettable. So, after some consideration. She decided not to go to the Spring Festival Gala this year and to accompany her family for a reunion year.

The disappointment of the national audience does not mean that all people are disappointed, and being able to really have a reunion dinner together as a family is what the Chen family wants to see the most. Li Aihong is willing to retire and rest for a while at this booming moment, and its measurement is really not small. And in the Chen family. The happiest is Chen Lili. Because since she was born, her mother hasn't really had a Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve reunion dinner with her. Every time, I eat the rice in my own bowl, watching my mother on TV and looking forward to her coming back soon, and every time my mother is busy until midnight before coming home. And this year, Chen Lili finally looked forward to it, she could eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with her mother and watch others perform at the Spring Festival Gala.

Because of Li Aihong, the Chen family finally achieved a real reunion during the Spring Festival this year. At the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner this year, the family sat around the big table and happily ate this meal symbolizing reunion.

For such a family atmosphere, Chen Zhaojun had a warm smile on his face from beginning to end of this meal, he liked to see this scene very much, no matter who served whom the dishes, it contained the taste of family affection. Not only Chen Zhaojun, but also Xue Bing and Wu Fengyao, the two girls, were all moved by this rich family atmosphere, and they all said under Zhang Guimei's kindness that they would try their best to celebrate the New Year with everyone in the future.

There was a constant burst of laughter at the dinner table, and there was a constant joke about one another, and almost everyone hoped that time would freeze in this moment and make them feel the atmosphere for a little longer. It's as if Chen Lili's words here made a little ripple in the hearts of all the people at the dinner table, she said a witty remark after Li Aihong sandwiched a piece of chicken leg for her: "Mom! If you can't spend the Spring Festival with us every year in the future, can you stop eating so fast? Let's eat a little longer! It's only one time, so I can remember it a little bit more clearly, okay? ”

Chen Lili's words moved everyone at the dinner table, and Li Aihong was almost moved to tears, so she could only answer in a row!

Therefore, this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of the Chen family has been eaten for a long time!

The Chen family has a traditional custom for the New Year, that is, after eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, kowtow to the two elders of the family to receive red envelopes. Moreover, there is a strict order for this kowtow to receive red envelopes, at home, first children, then grandchildren, granddaughters, and finally daughters-in-law. The order is not messed up at all, and the procedures are very strict.

Kowtowing to his parents for the New Year to receive red envelopes is Chen Zhaojun's favorite scene. Perhaps, it was the excitement of receiving the New Year's money in my childhood. After coming back to life, Chen Zhaojun, who once again experienced this feeling, was naturally unwilling to let go of every moment of this moment. In his opinion, kowtowing to receive New Year's money is one of the most memorable things, and it is also the happiest and happiest moment for every New Year. When I was an assistant to the mayor of FJ Province. It was because he talked to his second brother about kowtowing to receive red envelopes during the New Year that Chen Zhaojun was so moved that he couldn't help crying for a while. led to the injury of the last second brother. In short, speaking of which, compared to the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Chen Zhaojun hopes that the moment of kowtowing to the red envelope can be extended. Just like Chen Lili said before, a longer time can make him feel more of this warm taste.

The Chen family's procedure of kowtowing to receive red envelopes is proceeding in an orderly manner, first the three brothers of the Chen family, and then Chen Lili. Finally, Li Aihong and He Jianling kowtowed in front of Chen Weixiong and Zhang Guimei one by one in order, and then got a very symbolic red envelope and New Year's message from them.

It's just that the difference between this year and previous years is that not only Li Aihong is back, but also in this scene, there are two people who are not suitable for participation. They are Xue Bing and Wu Fengyao. It was nothing for them to come to the Chen family to celebrate the New Year together. Like Zhang Guimei understands. The more lively, the better. It's just that the custom of kowtowing to receive red envelopes can only be carried out by a real family.

Regarding the Spring Festival custom of kowtowing to receive red envelopes, Wu Fengyao still knows a little about it, but she just watched quietly from the sidelines. But Xue Bing, who was also watching from the side, couldn't figure it out, no one dared to speak in this scene, and no one told her before, the silent and quite serious scene made her at a loss. And that's not all. The point is that she misunderstood because of this. In the past, when I was in Hong Kong, I was also able to receive the New Year's money, and my father's, uncles, aunts, aunts, etc., were all given by the elders to the younger generations. It is a kind of care and blessing from the elders to the younger generations. It's just that there is no kowtow in this room. Now, in her opinion. Kowtow should be a kind of respect and blessing from the younger generation to the elders, right?

No one could have imagined that Xue Bing would understand the custom of kowtowing to receive red envelopes so much, so no one specifically told her. What others didn't expect was that Xue Bing would do it under the condition of "understanding"! After He Jianling, the second sister-in-law, received the red envelope, she pulled Wu Fengyao, who was standing beside her, took the initiative to step forward, and respectfully knelt down for the second elder in accordance with the procedures done by the people in front of her.

Xue Bing's actions made Wu Fengyao anxious, and like Xue Bing, she had not been informed by anyone before what to do. According to her understanding, the Chen family's kowtow to receive red envelopes during the New Year should be none of their business. However, Xue Bing actually pulled her in the end, making her feel that this might have been told to Xue Bing by Zhang Guimei in advance, but she didn't have time to tell herself, so Xue Bing came to tell her. After all, in the whole process now, others can't talk indiscriminately. Moreover, the time when Xue Bing went out was just the moment when all the juniors of the Chen family received the red envelopes, so Wu Fengyao had to have the illusion that this was the rule of the Chen family, and the younger generations of outsiders had to perform the last step of the procedure.

Therefore, when Xue Bing knelt down, Wu Fengyao also hurriedly walked up to the second elder and respectfully knelt down for the second elder according to the general procedure.

After seeing the two girls kowtowing to the two of them, Zhang Guimei realized that because of her own negligence, the two girls misunderstood, and they actually participated. It's just that this head is knocked down, is it possible that what else can I say about them? What's more, she likes these two girls a lot, and it's nothing to let them participate in this process. So, after Zhang Guimei kowtowed to the two girls, she also said yes to the winning streak like she did with other juniors of the Chen family, and took out the red envelopes that were going to be given to them in advance.

Unlike Zhang Guimei's reaction, Chen Weixiong's eyes widened when he saw it, and he looked at the two girls kneeling in front of him unnaturally, and at the same time that Zhang Guimei gave the two girls red envelopes, he glared at Chen Zhaojun fiercely. Because according to the procedure, the person who kowtows to receive the red envelope now should be the third daughter-in-law of the Chen family. Before, these two girls came to Chen's house, and they both appeared as Chen Zhaojun's friends, and out of politeness, Chen Weixiong treated these two girls like family. However, politeness and family are completely different things, and he didn't know it before! Lao Er is at the age of the object, but what kind of person is he dealing with, what is the situation, this has to be told to the master, right? This is not counting, even if it is the object of Chen Zhaojun's office who comes out now, and wants to surprise him, it is understandable not to tell him in advance. But now Chen Weixiong only received surprise, but he was not happy at all. After all, it's going to come out of two! And judging from Zhang Guimei's happy appearance, it seems that these two are the objects of her old son. That's amazing! It's just that now that the Chinese New Year is over, and in such a serious kowtow to receive red envelopes, it's hard to say anything. Maybe I really misunderstood something! Therefore, Chen Weixiong can only follow the procedure to finish the next procedure. Wait until everything is done before making a decision, otherwise it will be unlucky. I just hope that I have misunderstood, otherwise I will feel better.

Chen Zhaojun ran out recklessly when he saw that these two girls didn't even ask, and he was so anxious that he almost screamed. It's a pity, I don't know if his reaction is too slow, or the two girls' reactions are too fast. Before he could call out, Wu Fengyao had already knelt down. By the time he was about to step forward to pull them up, Zhang Guimei had already said yes. Let him not know what to do for a while. He really couldn't understand what was going on in the minds of these two girls, Xue Bing was a little better, she might not know the customs, but why did Wu Fengyao also run forward? Isn't this sincerity to cause trouble for yourself? What's more, even if Xue Bing doesn't know, you can ask! After Chen Zhaojun saw the two of them receiving the red envelope, he beat a drum in his heart, and looked at Chen Weixiong cautiously, but found that the old man's angry appearance suddenly went from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. He knew that his wish had come true, and the procedure of kowtowing to receive red envelopes had been extended a lot because of the participation of the two girls, but his own year could only stop there. After this procedure, I don't know if the master will beat himself.

The other people at the scene, including Chen Lili, were all shocked when they saw the two who ran up to kowtow at the same time to receive the red envelope. Subsequently, Chen Zhaoping and Chen Zhaoguang saw something from Chen Zhaojun's face, and almost laughed out loud. After all, the three brothers talked a lot about each other, and they still knew a little about these two girls. It's just that this time the two brothers and daughters-in-law came out in one breath, and this misunderstanding is a big one, if you want to explain it clearly, I'm afraid it will be difficult for a while! They were all looking forward to seeing how their brother would defend himself. And consider whether it is better to muddy the water a little more at the right time.
