Rebirth of the Southern Drift Era

Chapter 89 Resurrection
"The sound of firecrackers conveys good news, and plum blossoms herald a good spring!"

With the sound of firecrackers, the [-]th year of the lunar calendar has passed, and the [-]th year is coming.

Liu Chang's family didn't sleep, they watched TV around the stove, watching the new year and welcoming the new year together.

As soon as the zero o'clock bell passed, his brothers walked out with fireworks and firecrackers, and began to greet the God of Wealth.

This is a custom in their hometown. The God of Wealth is greeted in the early morning of the first day of the new year after the New Year's Eve, and the door of wealth is closed before twelve o'clock in the evening.

Every household has to complete the process of closing the financial door and opening the financial door on this evening, looking forward to the new year's wealth and prosperity.

"I wish my parents good health and good luck in the new year!"

"Gong Xi Fa Cai! I wish you all the best in the new year! Wealth is coming!"

After the two brothers came back from setting off firecrackers outside, they first paid New Year's greetings to their parents. Their parents had prepared a New Year's red envelope for each of them.

This is the custom in Liu Chang's hometown, as long as the children are not married, these are indispensable.

The money Liu Chang brothers gave their parents was given years ago, and it belongs to the intention of honoring their parents.

The New Year red envelopes are only given by the elders to the juniors, and the unmarried juniors hope that the new year will be prosperous and prosperous.

Generally speaking, when I can earn money, I basically don't ask for red envelopes from elders, except those given by my parents.

Liu Li and Xu Ke also have them, and theirs will be accepted first.

Liu Chang didn't need to look at the red envelopes, but he also knew that Xu Ke's red envelopes were the biggest. There was still a difference between a future daughter-in-law and a son.

The New Year is here, in southern Shonan, New Year greetings are indispensable, and at this time there is quite a bit of attention.

Cubs in the first year of junior high school, Erlang in the second year of junior high school, and the third and fourth year of junior high school are all over the place.

In Liu Chang's hometown, the Spring Festival greetings at this time basically follow this rule.

On the first day of junior high school, we should pay New Year's greetings to our parents, recognize our adoptive parents, and travel in the village. These are things that must be done.

Traveling is a custom in Liu Chang's hometown. All the people in the village gathered in the ancestral hall to worship, and then men, women and children took paper money and incense and walked around the village beating gongs and drums, and then went to the back mountain to collect green money and go home.

After the worship, every household in the village has to walk around to pay New Year's greetings.

Starting from the family with the highest seniority, every family has to pay New Year's greetings and say some congratulations for the occasion.

You congratulate me, I congratulate you, no matter whether there was any estrangement in the past, it will not show on this day, I just hope that everyone will be prosperous in the coming year.

This is the arrangement for the first day of the new year, so there is no need to go out to pay New Year's greetings.

The second day of junior high school is the day when the son-in-law visits the father-in-law's house, and there are relatives such as uncle.

There is nothing to say about New Year's greetings in the third and fourth grades of junior high school. You can go there, and you can go to the homes of classmates and friends.

However, these rules slowly changed over time, and the aspect of visiting relatives during the Spring Festival has also changed.

At that time, during Chinese New Year, we would discuss on the phone together, which day to go to, and then go to New Year's greetings together, which is also convenient for New Year's dinner.

Otherwise, it is the custom of Liu Chang and the others to eat at that house when they go to the house for New Year's greetings. After a day, they have to eat several meals, which will feed everyone.

Similarly, some families with many relatives have to prepare meals several times a day to entertain guests.

Although some dishes do not need to be cooked separately, it is also very troublesome.

There are not many relatives in Liu Chang's family. His father has no relatives in this life, only an uncle and aunt.

My uncle is in a village, and he paid New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year.

My aunt has to wait for their home to come to visit first, and then go back to pay New Year's greetings. This is the rule, because Liu Chang's father is the biggest.

Liu Chang's mother has five brothers and sisters, which is a little more lively.

Grandma, grandpa, and grandparents are not here.

After the family has a car, it is much more convenient for Liu Chang to pay New Year's greetings.

First go to the uncle's house. Liu Chang's uncle is the oldest, followed by younger sisters, and Liu Chang's mother is the fourth.

But similar to Liu Chang's family, his uncles and aunts' family is not very good.

Among the poor relatives, apart from being able to help in doing things, they can't help much in other aspects.

But the relationship between each other is good, there is not much embarrassment and calculation.

Uncle Liu Chang's family has three children, except one who works in a coal mine, and the two younger ones are still in college.

My aunt and my second aunt's family is similar, both of them have children in college, and the expenses for a year are quite a lot.

But when it comes to studying, the five brothers and sisters of Liu Chang's mother fully support the children. No one let the children drop out of school early, at least they all graduated from junior high school.

Liu Chang could only say that his time to catch up was not very good, because his relatives' homes were not very good, and they happened to have children studying, so they were unable to support their families, so they were delayed.

The relationship between relatives is good, and there is an atmosphere when visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year, and it is also very lively.

The older generation gathered to talk about their children, while the younger generation gathered to play cards, and the family was very lively.

No one looks down on anyone, and no one looks down on cousins ​​who didn't study because they went to college.

But for Liu Chang who was the first in their family to drive a car, the relatives of several families were a little envious and a little proud.

The hard work of their generation has finally paid off.

Liu Chang was just the first one, and the young people behind him would not be too bad, so the older generation can feel at ease.

The entire Spring Festival holiday passed quietly on this kind of New Year's day. Zhang Xue originally wanted to come to Liu Chang's house to play during the Spring Festival, because Liu Chang's house had a temple fair on the second day of the first lunar month.

It's just that Liu Chang was busy with New Year's greetings and didn't have much time to play with her, so she didn't come over.

There is a temple fair every year, but it must be different with Liu Chang.What she wanted to see was not the temple fair, but to be able to stay with Liu Chang.

After visiting all the relatives' homes, Liu Chang was ready to go back to the south.

The employment center started work on the tenth day of the new year. Before that, Liu Chang had to go to Zhang Xue's house, and then to the finance school.

The school of finance gave a reply a few years ago, asking him to come over to discuss job recruitment on the eighth day of the new year.

"Liu Chang, can we get back the money we paid?"

To Liu Chang's surprise, not long after the New Year, a dozen or so villagers who had already paid the referral fee approached them and said they would refund the referral fee.

"Of course I can refund it! You can get your money back when you bring the receipt!"

After Liu Chang's parents knew the purpose of these people, even though the two had been used to being honest for half a lifetime, they were still very unhappy at this moment.

His face was so ugly that he almost lost his temper.

They didn't lose their temper because of the refund, but because these people are not fastidious and the timing of the refund is not chosen.

People of the older generation are more particular. Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, borrowing money, asking for money, and refunding money are all bad and taboo.

Years ago, these people came to find Liu Chang one by one to introduce jobs, and they talked well at that time.

It turned out that there was a problem, but I didn’t come here a year ago, and it’s still during the Spring Festival, so I ran over to refund the money, which is too careless.

Liu Chang himself is not that particular about this. There are so many people who go out to work, and there is no way to turn it away from outside.

So he has nothing to do with the behavior of these people, and he generously promised to refund the money.

In business, honesty is the foundation, and harmony makes money.

If others don't want it, then don't force it, so as not to hurt your peace.

"All of you were very happy a year ago, but why did you regret it so quickly after the next year? Think about it before you arrange work?"

Liu Chang couldn't understand why these people came to him for a refund after a year, so he couldn't help asking.
