Chapter 195: The Thirty Years of the Chinese New Year's Eve (3)

It's not that Luo is playful, but because of the Chinese New Year's Eve vigil.

Keeping the New Year is a custom of Chinese folk in the New Year, also known as taking a waste, lighting a fire for the New Year, staying up for the New Year, staying up late, etc. The custom of keeping the New Year is mainly manifested in the fact that the lights are not extinguished all night on New Year's Eve, and the observance is called "lighting the lamp and illuminating the year", that is, the lights and candles are lit all over the Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is said that after this illumination, the wealth of the family will be enriched in the coming year.

New Year's Eve also refers to family reunions on New Year's Eve and staying up late to welcome the arrival of the Lunar New Year. Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem of "Keeping the New Year": "The cold leaves the winter snow, and the warmth brings the spring breeze." To this day, it is customary to celebrate the New Year on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Keeping the New Year is one of the activities of the New Year, and the custom of keeping the New Year has a long history. The earliest surviving literature is recorded in the "Records of the Wind and Soil" in the Zhou of the Western Jin Dynasty: on the night of the New Year, each phase and gift, called "Gift Year"; Wine and food are invited, called "farewell year"; The young and old gather to drink, and the blessings are all ready, which is called "dividing the year"; Everyone stays awake all night long, waiting for the dawn, and is called "keeping the year".

There is also a folk saying that the Chinese New Year's Eve vigil is for the sake of their parents, and after the children keep the New Year for their parents, their parents will be healthy and smooth in the next year.

Luo Qingyan learned this statement before, there was no one before, but now with the Su family and Luo Congwen, Luo Qingyan will keep the New Year for them and pray for them.

To collect the whole night, Luo Qingyan still knows, there is no activity at night in ancient times, Luo Qingyan asked Yuyan to cut a lot of paper of the same size, with a brush to write numbers and symbols on it, made the simplest set of cards, Luo Qingyan followed everyone to keep the year, she proposed that everyone play cards together, she told everyone the rules of cards, solitaire was originally a way of entertainment, although its gameplay is diverse, but it is relatively easy to understand, even the youngest Zhixia understood in a short time, Let's play together, it's called a happy one, Luo Qingyan hasn't been so happy for a long time, with the addition of card play, the whole night of the New Year's Eve seems to be not so difficult and long.

In the later stage of playing, basically everyone will play, and Luo lightly suggested that everyone talk about their New Year's money and take it out to play.

So, Xia Mochen's luck was good, and Luo lightly watched Xia Mochen win everyone's money into his own purse. That's a happy one......

The early morning is soon here, and the New Year's Eve has been completed, Xia Mochen returned all the money of everyone, I have to say, Xia Mochen's means is called a clever one, that is, everyone is happy, and the hearts of the people are retained, these are some small money.

Then the boys all ran to set off firecrackers, and at this point in the morning, the cannons were set off to welcome the God of Wealth, a whole village, a whole Los Angeles, a whole country, and the sound of firecrackers one after another was endless, and these sounds seemed to show the prosperity of the coming year.

Luo Qingyan finished the year at this time, that is to say, after praying for Su and Luo Qingyan, he couldn't bear it anymore, yawning, one after another, Xia Mochen was very distressed, and immediately took Luo Qingyan to the room to rest, Qingzhu Baizhi too, everyone slowly returned to the room to rest.

Luo Qingyan, who originally thought that he would be able to fall asleep immediately when he returned to the room, returned to the room but couldn't fall asleep.

I don't know if it's to lament all the things I've traveled through, or to miss the life of the past and modern times, or maybe it's to lament my various bizarre circumstances, in short, Luo said lightly that he doesn't know what the reason is, he just can't sleep.

Luo lightly said that it didn't matter if she couldn't sleep, the most important thing was that Xia Mochen couldn't sleep after she couldn't sleep.

Originally, Xia Mochen was already a little sleepy, and when he saw his little daughter-in-law when he was celebrating the New Year, he seemed to be asleep, he thought that his little daughter-in-law would fall asleep as soon as she got on the bed after returning to the room.

"What's wrong? Aren't you sleepy? As soon as Xia Mochen spoke, Luo said lightly that he was even more aggrieved, I don't know if it was more sensitive during pregnancy, "Hmm! Luo nodded aggrievedly, a pair of watery eyes stared directly at Xia Mochen, Xia Mochen saw his little girl like this, and swallowed his saliva silently, this little girl of his own family really didn't know how charming her look was, "What's the matter?" Xia Mochen endured it, and tucked the quilt for Luo lightly, mentioning this Luo lightly, he was even more aggrieved, and pouted, "I don't know either!" Xia Mochen couldn't stand Luo Qingyan's appearance, "Then you take a look at this essay first, and I'll go out first!" After saying that, Xia Mochen grabbed the door and walked out, Luo pouted lightly, "What's the matter with this person!" Luo Qingyan waited for a while, and found that this person really walked neatly, after thinking about it, this person would never be like this on weekdays, so there must be something special waiting for him to deal with, Luo Qingyan didn't bother anymore after figuring it out, picked up the essay that Xia Mochen put next to his pillow before leaving, and read it......

Xia Mochen is so anxious about something, it's not the abrasive goblin of her own daughter-in-law, she doesn't know how charming she is at all, that aggrieved look, she just wants people to pity her, that look, that demeanor, makes Xia Mochen's brother very eager to try, Xia Mochen looked at his little daughter-in-law's increasingly protruding belly, there is a small life in it, that little life is the continuation of his own life, his own offspring, his own species, even if Xia Mochen has any ideas, He couldn't move his little daughter-in-law, so he couldn't stay in the room just now, if he continued to stay there, he couldn't guarantee that he would do something that he couldn't control, so he left in a hurry before he had time to explain more, and he was afraid that his little daughter-in-law, who was now sensitive, would find out that he was abnormal, so he would have no face in front of his little daughter-in-law in the future.

Xia Mochen had nowhere to go out of Luo's house, looking for a stream in the back mountain, Xia Mochen jumped into the water without hesitation, the weather of the Spring Festival can be described as a cold wind, the stream at night, the water temperature inside is even more cold and biting, but now such a cold date is just right for Xia Mochen, who is hot all over his body at the moment, after he has several laps in it, the heat on his body finally dropped, Xia Mochen got dressed and returned to Luo's house, and found that his little daughter-in-law had fallen asleep, Still holding the essay that he grabbed for her when he left before, Xia Mochen hooked a smile on the corner of his mouth, reached out and took the essay in her hand, and went to bed after folding the quilt for her.
