Chapter 182: New Year's Greetings
Pei Qinglin hadn't heard of this statement and thought it was very fresh, he kept staring at the dumpling and soon found the clue, it seems that this was done by Yu Shu on purpose, Pei Qinglin looked at Yu Shu and said:
"You know, I'm the luckiest to marry you!" This was said sincerely, Yu Shu felt the other party's blazing eyes, and couldn't help blushing.
"Tonight is going to keep the New Year, everyone is idle and bored, why don't you play games together? Let's play cards together, shall we? ”
Yu Shu drew the simple playing cards with a brush before, the numbers are not good to use Arabic numerals but traditional clothes, it is too boring to keep the New Year, it is better to play something, Yu Shu does not know how the ancients kept the New Year, anyway, she thinks it will be very boring, it should be covered.
Pei Qingrin said that the Chinese New Year's Eve vigil was handed down by the ancestors, and he should not play with other things during the vigil, which was rude, and he had to stay in the yard to watch the Pei family after Yu Shu packed up his things.
"Pounding..."
"Pounding..."
…… Soon it was time to set off the fireworks, Yu Shu followed everyone to raise their heads and look at the fireworks rising in the night sky, this thing is nothing to look at, it can't be compared with modern craftsmanship.
Yu Shu quietly walked into the house and took out the red envelope that had been prepared long ago, Chinese New Year's Eve, whether ancient or modern, was the time to send red envelopes, Yu Shu came out with a few red envelopes and gave Xiaobao, Xiaobao was very happy to receive the money.
She went to the two next-door neighbors' houses to pay New Year's greetings, this year is a special year for everyone, the Pei family is Yu Shu died and came back to life as the white moonlight in the village, the Sha family got acquainted with the Pei family without a man, and the Hu family successfully took the brothers down the mountain to become ordinary people.
"Happy New Year, sister-in-law, new year, new atmosphere, looking forward to a better future!" Yu Shu's family came to Sha's house first, Sha's sister-in-law greeted the Pei family warmly, made tea and some fruits, Yu Shu took the red seal and stuffed it into Ah Wei's hand, and looked at him and bowed sensibly to thank him.
… Next is the Tiger family and the families who have made friends in the village, Chinese New Year's Eve passed like this, until the time of the child they came back, Yu Shu took Xiaobao back to the house and slept, she herself watched Pei Qingrin take out a firecracker and put it outside the door, this is to prepare to welcome the God of Wealth.
The custom in Stone Village is to set off firecrackers to welcome the God of Wealth on Chinese New Year's Eve, as a businessman, Yu Shu does not believe in Buddha, does not believe in various gods, only believes in the God of Wealth.
When the time comes, every household is vying to set off firecrackers, and the sound of firecrackers is saying goodbye to the old year, and the new year is coming! The red envelopes prepared by Yu Shu were used up during the New Year's greetings, and the children who were befriended in the village sealed twenty pennies, and the children who met ordinary villagers on the road would come to their New Year's greetings to get a red envelope of five cents, Xiaobao brought back a little bit of profit, except for the red envelope given by Liu's sister-in-law to twenty wen, everyone else only gave a few pennies.
After being busy, it was almost dawn, Yu Shu simply didn't sleep, just waited for the dawn to go out to pay New Year's greetings to the elders in the village, and to the village chief.
Mainly the families of the three major clans are going to visit the New Year, they are all the older generation of Stone Village, and they are all net weight by the villagers, and Yu Shu gave them a tael of silver to make red envelopes.
After the hometown of the three major clans was finished, Yu Shu followed Pei Qinglin to the village chief's house to pay New Year's greetings to the village chief and his wife, and the village chief and his wife, who had already moved to the inn, temporarily moved back to their home because of the Chinese New Year.
The eldest of the Yu family is loyal and honest, usually doesn't like to talk and doesn't act as a demon, and when he saw Yu Shu coming, he was very kind and welcomed people into the door, and went to take fruits and tea to come out to greet him.
Although the two of them returned to live at home, they were regarded as bastards by everyone, and although the village chief let them come back, he never forgave them for the stupid things they did.
"Yo, I thought you couldn't enter my house anymore, why aren't you afraid of us?" When the second daughter-in-law saw Yu Shu coming, she said in a weird way.
Yu Shu didn't react to the person who couldn't spit out ivory in the dog's mouth, and saw the village chief's daughter-in-law come out and scold the daughter-in-law who was not angry, asking her to remember to accumulate virtue, and be embarrassed outside!
"Uncle and aunt of the village chief, happy new year! Yu Shu brought her husband and children to give you New Year's greetings, I wish the village a smooth and prosperous life, and your two elders are in good health and all the best! Yu Shu made another set of red New Year's clothes for a family of three a year ago. Today's outfit looks particularly festive.
The New Year's Day, Yu Shu's Tianxianglou also had a holiday, and everyone was given a red envelope, a barrel of oil and a bag of rice as a New Year's gift, so that everyone took it back on December 29, and it didn't start work until the seventh day of the first month.
Yu Shu has always been generous to people, she will give Li is to all those who come to pay New Year's greetings, and when she comes back from the village chief's house on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yu Shu accepts the New Year's greetings from the actors, and this New Year's greeting activity does not end until the second day of the Lunar New Year.
The third day of the Lunar New Year is called the Poor Ghost Day here, it is not allowed to go out as a guest, from the third day of the Lunar New Year, it will stop for a while, until the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, each village has a different time festival called the Lantern Festival, which is somewhat similar to the Lantern Festival, the difference is that on the day of the lantern, the family of the grandson who added a grandson last year had to put on a feast to entertain the guests.
It turns out that the lamp and Ding are homophonic, and the lantern appreciation is also the Ding, and the addition of Ding in the family is a major event in ancient times, which is to be celebrated, and the birth of a son is to do the lantern, and the birth of a daughter is to make a full moon wine.
After Yu Shu heard about this custom, she sighed that the ancients really favored sons over daughters, and the Pei family did not have a family meal on this day, but they received invitations from some good friends.
Stone Village was arranged to the fourteenth day of the first month to enjoy the lanterns, from the beginning of the first month there are dragon and lion dance performances and bamboo circus to watch, these activities are also the people who have enjoyed the lanterns choose not to accept the play, this year every household in the stone village has earned money, almost every dragon and lion and bamboo horse have been received.
Listening to the jingling gongs and drums from far and near, Xiaobao took the two friends to the play together, Yu Shu ate at home, and Pei Qingrin prepared a red envelope and a firecracker at the door.
After the end of the performance, the performers will follow the sound of gongs and drums into the house to worship the god of the stove, wishing the family the meaning of Ding making a fortune, Yu Shu This is the first year in the ancient New Year, followed to watch a short play and feel that the dragon and lion dance is nothing new, the bamboo circus is babbling and singing is not interesting, and then come back to the house to work.
Not long after he entered the stove room, he heard a group of people knocking outside into the house, Yu Shu walked out of the stove room in confusion, and saw the leader say to Pei Qingrin:
"Wishing you prosperity from the owner! Tim Ding makes a fortune! Pei Qinglin took out a red envelope from his arms, and he couldn't see how much money was in it, but he felt heavy.
