Chinese New Year's Eve has finally arrived, and the Jiang family is full of festivities. This is the first time that Lian Xin has celebrated the New Year so vividly since his grandmother left.

In the past, when I was at my grandmother's house, every New Year, my uncle would come back to the old house, and Lian Xin would frolic with my cousins and cousins. Especially when I was a child, firecrackers were allowed in the suburbs, and their children were even more crazy.

But such happy days have gradually become less and less since they grew up. After my grandmother left, my uncle and his uncle rarely went back to the old house for the New Year, and they never experienced such a lively day again.

Since the relationship with Lian Yi has eased, on Chinese New Year's Eve, Lian Xin usually goes home, which is the so-called celebration of reunion. But this year, Lian Xin thinks that he will be able to come back tomorrow, so let's stay for tomorrow's family reunion and go back! Although she did not go back on Chinese New Year's Eve, Mother Lin thought about the number of gifts very thoughtfully, and asked Lao Zhang to send a lot of New Year's goods to Lian's family. I heard that Jiang Yu gave a big red envelope and took it together, but whether it was money or something else, Lian Xin didn't ask.

Since the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, Mother Lin has led everyone to start busy. Prepare Spring Festival couplets, Fu character stickers, etc., as well as Zhang Luo Lang glutinous rice cakes and rice cakes. Even Xin didn't know anything, so he could only help out.

When she got up early in the morning on Chinese New Year's Eve, Mother Lin began to prepare things for the old worship. Lian Xin didn't expect that a big family like the Jiang family was also like ordinary people, and they paid special attention to and paid attention to the etiquette of worshipping God. As an anthropology teacher, Lian Xin is interested in worship. In fact, worshipping the so-called gods and goddesses cannot simply be regarded as feudal superstition, which is a kind of belief in the world. These beliefs play an important role in maintaining social stability.

Along the way, I followed Lin Ma to worship various gods, and Lian Xin listened to all kinds of legends, which was very fun. I even found that some points can be applied to my own research topics, which is really an unexpected reward!

When I came back from worship, I began to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. The habit of the Jiang family, the reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, is not late. The meals of the reunion dinner, like those in ordinary people's homes, are all some good dishes, that is, the vegetable market is more abundant.

After eating the reunion dinner, Lian Xin felt that there was no need to engage in the so-called distinction between upper and lower levels. A large table was set up in the courtyard, and the servants who had not returned home for the New Year came to eat together. It's nice to be reunited and lively.

After dinner, it was time to send red envelopes, and Lian Xin was only told by Jiang Yu yesterday that he was going to give out red envelopes. Because Jiang's mother is not at home this year, Lian Xin is the mother of the Jiang family, and she has to send everyone a New Year's red envelope, which can be regarded as thanking them for their hard work for a year.

But Lian Xin has no concept of sending red envelopes at all, and she doesn't understand the specific amount. After all, they used to live alone, and they were the ones who received the red envelopes. In the end, Jiang Yu helped her prepare, and Lian Xin was really in charge of sending it.

After the red envelopes were distributed, almost everyone dispersed, leaving only Lin Ma and Lao Zhang. Lian Xin informed before that although there is a show on Chinese New Year's Eve, there is no need to stay at home.

Lian Xin, who helped Mother Lin clean up her things together, saw Jiang Yu sitting in the living room reading the financial newspaper. She leaned over and said, "Where's my red envelope?" ”

It was rare to see Lian Xin's little girlish state, Jiang Yu raised her hand and scratched her nose dotingly and said, "Yes, it has been prepared for a long time!" Upstairs though. Let's go up and open the red envelope later! ”

Lian Xin listened to the urging and said, "Let's go, now go upstairs to get the red envelope." ”

Receiving red envelopes is very exciting for people of any age, Lian Xin just made a fuss about Jiang Yu, but he didn't expect that there would really be a red envelope. As soon as she heard that there was a red envelope, she couldn't wait.

Jiang was so happy to meet Lian Xin, so he took her back upstairs to get the red envelope.
