"During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the Xia calendar was followed and the year of the year was changed to worship.
After Zhou Dynasty, the worship was changed to Nian.
From then on, the festival of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new was called New Year's Day.
Today is the 30th day of the Lunar New Year, two years in one night, and two years in the fifth hour.
After staying up late and eating dumplings, I will turn one year older tomorrow.
It coincides with the Year of the Rat, a cycle of sixty years, and this year is the beginning of a new cycle.
In the new year, I will try my best to be a good child who studies hard and makes progress every day.
The sharing about the Five Thousand Years Festival has come to a successful end, thank you all."
Except for the one who tried his best to be a good boy in the end and seemed a little lack of confidence, the others were generally shared very completely.
Cai Gen took the lead and started to applaud. Everyone applauded enthusiastically, and exaggerated praises came one after another. Cai Tuantuan's face turned red from the praise.
After sharing, Duan Xiaohong finally found the opportunity to speak, and no one stopped her. She was probably still worrying about being single.
"Tuan Tuan, what you said was very good. You asked me to pause or whatever. Anyway, I understood it very well, although I didn't remember it.
But what does it mean to stay up all year long?
I know what eating dumplings means, you don’t need to tell me.”
Xiao Sun's attention was not on the problem, but on personal attacks.
"You only know how to eat Duan Tudou, but you don't know anything else."
"I didn't ask you, and I didn't let you ask if I didn't know. Then tell me, what do you mean?"
When asked by Duan Xiaohong, Xiao Sun was speechless. He really didn't know.
Although I have been reincarnated many times, I never feel that I am a human being, I am always just a spectator.
I have never truly integrated into the human world, so everything in the human world can be uncontaminated and clean. I don't want to know about it and I don't care about it.
Today, Xiao Sun was speechless when Duan Xiaohong suddenly asked her about these common sense.
The first time they subconsciously looked at Cai Tuantuan was for help, which made Cai Gen and Shi Huozhu, who wanted to help answer, very embarrassed.
Cai Tuantuan didn't care about Duan Xiaohong at all. If you ask me, you have to tell me?
I am still a child, and if you are more serious with me, isn’t that a disease?
After happily enjoying the praise and applause, I returned to the dinner table and continued to gnaw on the chicken legs.
His request for help did not receive a response, so Xiao Sun wanted to continue skipping questions and making personal attacks.
At this moment, Zhen Shuiyin's voice sounded.
"What does it mean, who doesn't know?
The New Year Festival begins with the Xiaonian Festival, when sacrifices are made to the stove, and on this day the gods go to heaven to appeal for their duties.
At the same time, it is the year of Tai Sui, so there is no god in the human world.
During the Chinese New Year, bad guys in the human world run rampant and want to make a living in the world.
Therefore, sticking to the door god, hanging mahogany trees, and setting off firecrackers can drive away bad guys.
On New Year's Eve, the whole family gets together, has New Year's Eve dinner, lights candles or oil lamps, and sits around the fire to chat.
The all-night vigil symbolizes driving away all evil pests and bad guys, which means staying up all year long.
After answering, is there anything else you don’t understand? Miss Duan?"
Cai Gen noticed that when Zhen Shuiyin was talking just now, her eyes were looking under the table.
At the end of the sentence, there is a gesture of putting something in the pocket, which you can understand immediately.
This guy doesn’t know anything about it, so he checked it online and found out what he said. He bullied Duan Xiaohong because he drank too much and didn’t see it clearly.
Hey, what kind of people are recorded in the myths and legends of the human world?
As a dignified star official, they are really ignorant of these folk customs that use themselves as a reference.
On the other hand, it's right to think about it. How can a superior god care about himself in the eyes of ordinary people in the world?
It doesn't matter whether you do it or not. If you are offended, you will be punished directly. There is no obligation to tell you what is right or wrong. It all depends on your own preferences.
Duan Xiaohong didn't notice Zhen Shuiyin reading on her phone, putting forward her own different opinions, and trying to find allies.
"No, that's not what I heard when I was a kid.
In the early years, my grandfather told me that the Nian beast would come out to eat people during the Chinese New Year.
But the Nian beast doesn't like the color red and noise, so everyone puts up red paper and sets off firecrackers to drive the Nian beast away and prevent it from hurting people.
The main reason to stay up late is to be too scared to sleep. The Nian beast is the source of all evil.
Grandpa and aunt, do you think this is how it was passed down?"
Zodiac?
What about the Nian beast thing?
Cai Gen vaguely remembered that this was indeed said when he was a child.
Cai's father and Cai's father-in-law kept nodding in agreement. Maybe they heard it this way when they were young. They were unfamiliar with Zhen Shuiyin's version and didn't agree with it.
Mother Cai didn't care about this anymore. Seeing that there was going to be a dispute over a trivial matter, she quickly took charge of the direction of public opinion.
“It doesn’t matter what you say, it’s true, it’s as if it’s true.
Eat more food and drink less wine. Our next meal will be dumplings in the evening."
After hearing the interruption from her in-laws, Cai's mother-in-law felt that she should change the subject.
"Ms. Duan, how old are you this year? What do you do?
There are many good young men in my community, would you like to introduce them to me and see them?"
Well, is this grandma trying to find a way to get justice for her grandson?
Sure enough, there was no getting around the issue of not having a partner. Although Duan Xiaohong was a little drunk, she understood that she seemed to have offended someone.
This topic must be explained clearly today, otherwise I will be embarrassed for a year.
"Auntie, no need, I have many suitors, but I don't like them all.
The son of the village chief of my hometown committed suicide several times in pursuit of me, but I can’t even look down on him."
Mother-in-law Cai obviously didn't want to be fooled easily, so she started to get to the bottom of it.
"Then why do you look down on him?
Is it because of education, appearance, family, personality?
It’s really not easy and rare for other boys to commit suicide for you.”
Xiao Sun was the first to step forward and attack.
"Auntie, what education level can be lower than elementary school? Duan Tudou hasn't even completed compulsory education."
The waiter felt that he was pretty good at aesthetics, so he should make up for it.
"As for choosing looks, haha."
Cai Gen finally found an opportunity and would regret it if he didn't say anything.
"Mom, it's definitely not because of family. The village chief's son is considered a wealthy family, so what else could he choose?"
When Shi Huozhu saw this situation, he realized that he had the most say about Duan Xiaohong's character, even if he was beaten.
"Sister Duan's character is a bit strong and too straightforward. She is not an ordinary person."
Especially when talking about people's tempers, they speak very quickly, so try to cross the line.
This chorus made Duan Xiaohong very angry. Is she so unpopular?
She didn't know who to attack first. Anyway, except for the waiter, she didn't dare. Everyone else was within her attack range.
First, he drank most of the glass of white wine in front of him and decided to have a verbal battle with the others.
Before it started, the store door suddenly opened and a young man walked in.
She is very well-dressed, wearing black clothes that are very particular, and there is a white piece of hard material on her neck. This dress is a bit special.
Looking at his appearance, he has good facial features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, his skin is a bit dark, and he looks a bit bold and handsome.
The visitor was carrying a suitcase, dusty with travel, as if he had traveled a long way.
