Chapter nine hundred and eighty sixth thought carefully
My little cousin made a special trip back from abroad to celebrate the New Year. They are very particular about the Chinese New Year. The whole family must gather together for a banquet. They must worship the God of Heaven and the Mother of the Earth, worship at the ancestral hall, and some will watch lion dances. Chinese New Year is celebrated here in the Greater Bay Area.
The main reason is that there is a large population. There are many people here who share the same ancestors and celebrate the New Year together. It is passed down from generation to generation.
Clan culture is relatively strong. Of course, this also varies from person to person. If the descendants of the family are strong, it can be done. There are also many southerners who just get together.
Why do many places say that the flavor of the New Year is getting weaker and weaker, that is, there are fewer and fewer relatives. In many areas, the people born in the 80s and 90s have no relatives. Some children have no uncles, aunts, or aunts because their parents only have children. This is
No solution.
If grandparents pass away, there is basically no place to go. Children in many areas now no longer experience the feeling of having a whole family gather together to celebrate the New Year.
The Greater Bay Area is very concerned about clan culture. The clan culture in the Greater Bay Area and the Yangtze River Delta region is relatively important. To be precise, Zhejiang Province and the Greater Bay Area attach great importance to clan culture. There is only one ancestral hall to worship ancestors.
In many areas, there are no more relatives. Many people don’t even know that they have any relatives even after two generations. They are gone and can’t be found.
My little cousin is a relatively strong one. After all, if there are a few capable people in the family, she will pay great attention to this kind of festival and organize it in a big way.
The red envelopes here are not many, they are all given out of intention, and so are the gifts. They are mainly for fun.
Unlike some places where the gifts are too heavy, and a random gift can start at 1,800 yuan. In this way, if there are ten or eight red and white events a year, it can help empty people's pockets, because if it is from an immediate relative
The gifts are even higher. For example, when a niece gets married, the uncles all have to start with a gift of 18,000 yuan, and during the Chinese New Year, red envelopes given to the younger generations cost 1,800 yuan.
How much money can a wage earner save throughout the year? It may be all spent during the New Year.
Some people really avoid going home by giving red envelopes to their descendants just to avoid celebrating the New Year. This is because the seniority is different. Some people have a higher seniority. They are grandparents in their twenties. When they go home to celebrate the New Year, dozens of people from a village kowtow to each other and receive less quilts.
He said, if you give too much, you won’t have money. If a person is fifty, he may have to give out two or three thousand. If someone with a lower seniority kowtows, he will have to give a red envelope.
The gift money for weddings and funerals in many areas is indeed too high. The gift money at my cousin’s house is not high, so there is no pressure and everyone will get together. In some areas, I am afraid of receiving calls about weddings and weddings. I know this is a special event.
That’s a lot of expense.
This dinner party at my cousin's family was held in their ancestral hall. According to my little cousin, there were thirty-five tables. The ancestral hall is in a township and covers an area of several thousand square meters. There is a large enough courtyard for everyone to worship.
, this was also built together with money. Descendants of basically every family come here, and those from overseas also come back. Every year, people from overseas come back to recognize their ancestors.
Coming back to celebrate the New Year is a requirement of the family that the younger generation must come back. The advantage of my little cousin is that she is still in school at a young age. No one is urging her to get married. They are all afraid that her falling in love at school will affect her studies. It seems that only those who are studying for a Ph.D. will be urged to get married.
, basically no one will urge you to get married if you have an undergraduate degree.
The elders also give red envelopes to the little cousin. This varies from person to person. Some people in the south also give big red envelopes. For example, if the little cousin is favored at such a young age, her own elders, grandparents, grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, etc. will give them to her.
A big red envelope is called a big red envelope for you in the south. In fact, your parents have to give it back to others.
If your family has money, just give this red envelope to your children and don't accept it. If you don't have money, just get the top leader. You give my children red envelopes, and I will give the red envelopes you gave to your children.
The little cousin's family still treats her as a child, but her family would never think that her little cousin understands everything and is no longer a child.
When children grow up, they understand everything, but parents will always treat an adult as a child.
For example, with a look from Zhao Mingyang, the little cousin would know whether to dance or be glib.
Zhao Mingyang was riding a motorcycle with his little cousin. It is the most common scooter. This kind of motorcycle is comfortable to ride and the people sitting in the back are also comfortable. The only drawback is that it is not good-looking and not windy. Zhao Mingyang's scooter has a lot of holes in the back.
With a suitcase, young people will no longer ride such an old-fashioned motorcycle. They would rather walk than ride a bike wearing a helmet to show their friends.
Along the way, Zhao Mingyang had a high rate of turning heads because his little cousin was so eye-catching. She had long purple hair, a tight-fitting black short-sleeved shirt that exposed her navel, a pair of black tights on the lower body, and a pair of black leather boots.
The whole person looks like a wow factor.
My little cousin also wears make-up. Today she put on a cool make-up. After all, she is an older child. Can't she dress like a child all day long?
Zhao Mingyang is very simple. He wears a black jacket with a white shirt underneath, a pair of black casual pants and a pair of leather shoes. This is in great contrast with his little cousin.
For those who don’t know, they think Zhao Mingyang is the parent of his little cousin. Zhao Mingyang doesn’t like to wear too flashy clothes anymore, and he likes to wear suits and jackets more and more. The key is that there is a glass and teacup in the back compartment of his motorcycle.
It matches perfectly when taken out, it looks like a veteran cadre.
Especially the helmet Zhao Mingyang is wearing makes him look a bit old-fashioned.
Along the way, many drivers opened their windows and stared at my little cousin. They must have been patting the steering wheel and wondering where they had lost.
Some of them just lowered the car window and said to their little cousin: "Sister, come on down, it's comfortable to sit in the car, but it's uncomfortable to ride on a motorcycle."
It turned out that the little cousin was a genius. She took out her mobile phone and opened the WeChat balance in front of the other party. After seeing it, she said: "Can you give me six figures of pocket money in a month like this boss?"
The other party looked at the balance displayed on his little cousin's WeChat balance, and then looked at his steering wheel. He could buy two of his cars. After all, how much does an Audi A3 cost, and his little cousin's WeChat balance was more than 600,000.
"The bad taste of rich people is disgusting. You are a woman who doesn't learn well at a young age and is a sugar daddy. Are you practical about the money you earned without relying on your own efforts?" The other party stepped on the accelerator and took away something invisible.
Tears, damn, it’s true that all good girls have been captured by money. Why are these rich people riding motorcycles when they have nothing to do? Do they risk their lives, or do they want to have better contact with nature? Beautiful girls are captured by these rich people.
People were shouting.
Zhao Mingyang shook his head and said with a smile: "Why are you becoming more and more weird?"
"Do you like it? Do you like it? Do you like me like this?" the little cousin hugged Zhao Mingyang and asked.
"I like it. I like everything you do. Tell me, where are you going now?" Zhao Mingyang asked.
"Can you go and accompany me to the class reunion?" the little cousin said in a low voice, afraid that Zhao Mingyang would reject her.
"Okay, but it's not appropriate for me to go like this, right? Why don't you change your clothes and go there?" Zhao Mingyang said.
"No need, I just like to sit on your motorcycle, because I can be close to you without fear of you running away, and I can hold you tightly. There is a distance in the car. You are handsome and good-looking no matter what, I don't care.
I like it." The little cousin stretched out her hand and slapped the wind blowing in her face.
Zhao Mingyang wanted to say that you can get very close to each other while driving, and you can merge into a Super Saiyan, but you can't ride a motorcycle.
"Aren't you cold? It's only twenty degrees." Zhao Mingyang asked.
At this time, the temperature in Pengcheng was only 16 to 20 degrees. Zhao Mingyang felt a little cold, so he put on a coat. He didn't want to be young and cool and end up with joint problems all over the body.
Zhao Mingyang's outfit may not be recognized by acquaintances. Helmet + glasses + jacket + shirt + leather shoes + scooter. This is a standard outfit for a man in his forties or fifties when shopping for groceries.
"It's not cold, I won't be cold anymore if I hold you." The little cousin hugged Zhao Mingyang tightly and said.
Zhao Mingyang felt that this little girl was getting more and more numb. It was better to ride slower. If she got frozen, she would not be able to show more difficult moves...
"How to go?" Zhao Mingyang asked.
"I told you to just leave. Brother Mingyang, I like you!" the little cousin shouted loudly.
Zhao Mingyang feels that this girl is still young after all, full of energy and has no scruples. Zhao Mingyang is embarrassed to shout out like this, but it sounds quite comfortable. A young and upright girl is telling you that she likes you, and her whole body exudes youth.
the breath.
Following the path pointed by the little cousin, we arrived in front of a middle school. The little cousin got out of the car and pointed to the middle school and said: "This is my middle school. This is a junior high school party. The last party was after the high school entrance examination. This is also my old friend."
For gatherings, in the past we were mostly in the same class in primary school, and we were in the same class in middle school, so I feel closer to my classmates in middle school than in high school."
"You're right." Zhao Mingyang said while sitting in the car. After all, elementary and junior high schools are basically in the same living area and the same school district, so many junior high school classmates are also elementary school classmates in the same area.
"This way!" the little cousin shouted while wearing a helmet and waving her hands.
Zhao Mingyang saw three cars approaching in the distance, a white BMW 3 Series, a black Audi A7, and a red Audi A4.
It’s hard to say whether this car is rented or owned by your own family. After all, at this age, face is the most important thing. After finally getting together, you will definitely have enough face. If you can pretend, you must pretend. Never in front of the people you have secretly loved or liked in the past.
It's embarrassing, and I even fantasize about something happening.
What these nineteen and twenty-year-old kids want is face. If men gather alone with men, they will never show off. The topic of conversation is likely to be national or international events. Women and women are together, and they will not show off.
I don't know how to pretend, I can talk about some entertainment gossip, etc.
But if a man and a woman get together, the man will dress up and the woman will dress up too, in order to leave the best image in front of the opposite sex.
If you think about it carefully, is this the truth? It seems that there are more cases of pretentiousness when people of the opposite sex are together. At a party, especially if there are good-looking girls and good-looking boys, the good-looking ones usually don’t talk much, and a group of opposite sexes will take the initiative to show off and express themselves.
.
Zhao Mingyang is experienced in this kind of little trick. He has also done this kind of thing that now seems ridiculous, but it is very beautiful.
Zhao Mingyang suddenly discovered a very scary thing. When he went to college, his little cousin was still a primary school student. It was so scary. In fact, she was only six or seven years older. But if you think about it this way, many things become weird.
My brother is in college, Qiang’s wife has just been born, Jay Chou is in middle school and his wife has not yet been born.
It's scary to think about it carefully. Zhao Mingyang thinks that if he saw his little cousin when he was in college, she might call him uncle...
"Zhang Zifeng, who is this?" The car stopped in front of Zhao Mingyang and the others, and a woman who was obviously much more mature than her little cousin got out of the driver's seat of a red A4 and walked over and asked.
The people in the three cars got off, a total of twelve people. They probably all took them with them along the way. It can also be said that one car is a circle. The people in this car are walking closer, and the three cars are three circles.
, and the houses in this area are not cheap. It is estimated that many of the families who went to school here were in good condition.
It’s okay for family members to buy a car. After all, it’s not surprising that many college students in big cities drive to school. It’s just that when Zhao Mingyang went to school, there were very few people driving to school, but now more and more people do it. Look online, children’s college entrance examination
The graduation gift was a car, and he went straight to pick up the car. After Zhao Mingyang finished the college entrance examination, he didn't even have a hundred yuan in his pocket, so he went to an Internet cafe with a few classmates and felt like he was at the top of his life.
Today’s children are really getting more and more generous. It is said that children after graduating from elementary school can go out and play for thousands of dollars. Zhao Mingyang could not even think about it at that time. After graduating from elementary school, Zhao Mingyang secretly went to the game arcade with his classmates to play.
After buying a handful of game coins for three yuan, a man of 17 or 18 years old robbed most of them. From then on, Zhao Mingyang secretly swore that when he was 17 or 18 years old, he would not let any children be robbed.
To protect them and give them a good childhood, his childhood was ruined by that boy who was six or seven years older than him. There was no bottom line in robbing primary school students of their game coins.
Now Zhao Mingyang looked at the group of little adults in front of him and thought they were interesting. They were all dressed as if they were going to attend an award ceremony. They all had their hair styled, and they were all dressed brightly.
The woman named Zhang Zifeng was her middle school classmate, and the two of them got along just fine before. However, this class reunion happened to fall in the first month of the year, so it was easier for people to get together, so there were a lot of people.
The other party saw Zhao Mingyang riding a motorcycle. This motorcycle was ridden by their fathers before. In addition, Zhao Mingyang was wearing a helmet, so he couldn't see the whole picture. A half-helmet would also block the person's face. There was also a casual jacket to match.
Wearing a white shirt and leather shoes, it feels very modern.
"This is my boyfriend Zhao Mingyang." The little cousin said, holding Zhao Mingyang's arm.
"Your boyfriend?" A boy asked in disbelief. Zhang Zifeng now looks so good-looking, has a good figure, and has good skin. She used to be a little chubby with a chubby face, but now she looks completely different.
, but why has his vision changed? He found such a man? What are you killing? Isn’t it possible to support him in his old age?
"We're not here yet, are we?" said the owner of the A7 car, a young man wearing earrings and dressed in fashionable clothes.
"Not yet, just wait a moment."
"No wait, let's go directly to the resort. Zhang Zifeng, please get in my car. The journey is a bit far. The meeting place is at a resort." said the young man with earrings.
"No, we'll just ride there, and you can just send me your location." said the little cousin.
The young man stopped talking. Zhao Mingyang knew that they would soon set up a WeChat group without the little cousin, complaining that the little cousin had found an old man, that he was very rustic and poor.
What is a passerby? A passerby will know what these people want to do just by blinking their eyes.
"Wait a minute, we all are going together." said the owner of the white BMW, a young man with a crew cut.
A few people didn't ask Zhao Mingyang any more questions. After a while, a white Corolla car and a black Sylphy drove over, and another group of people got out of the car. Zhao Mingyang became the focus again, because his little cousin was so eye-catching.
Many boys couldn't hide their possessive eyes after seeing her.
The last white Kia K2 also drove up. Zhao Mingyang could see that these were all from one circle to another, and not all families were rich. After all, many people may have lived here for their ancestors, and three generations of their descendants lived in the same house.
Here, there are also people whose parents worked hard to buy an apartment here for them to go to school.
A group of people drove away in cars. Zhao Mingyang looked at his little cousin and said, "Did I send you the address? How far is it from here?"
"It was sent, almost forty-five kilometers away," said the little cousin.
"That's really far away. You're wearing too little and you'll freeze easily. Why don't you find a car to take us there?" Zhao Mingyang said.
The little cousin thought so, the distance was indeed too far, but the little cousin didn’t expect that Zhao Mingyang found a moving company’s car just to transport the motorcycle. By the way, Zhao Mingyang went back to the hotel and brought the suitcase with him. It was time to give this
A group of brats put on a show, what kind of pretense is that?
