This year's New Year is very early. It's just finished the first snowfall, and the New Year's Day is here.

Since my previous life, I have been quite frank about New Year festivals such as New Year. It’s not that I don’t like celebrating festivals, but because of the actual conditions. In my previous life, my world was nothing more than Uncle Suzuki and I. If we were not celebrating the festival, we were still the two of us.

When we were in our business, the New Year celebration was the "peak of business". Sometimes he offered tasks, sometimes I had tasks, and there were even fewer people during the New Year... Therefore, I have always been a little resistant to the festival, especially during the Spring Festival.

But this life is different. I have so many friends and relatives around me. Every festival is very lively, and people like this feeling again. So the saying goes, the environment changes people's hearts and nature, and the environment is the best teacher for a person.

Uncle Yan Lei, Mr. Ye, uncle Ye, and of course, Yan Zhu, who has grown up, has made a special trip from Nanyang to Japan to celebrate the Spring Festival together! I was very moved, so the must-choose project became Mr. Ye’s favorite drinking...

Japan also celebrates the Spring Festival, which is called "First Month" here. However, Japan's Spring Festival customs can be divided into two sections. Before the Meiji Restoration, Japan celebrated the traditional Spring Festival like the Central Plains, adopting the traditional lunar calendar of the Central Plains. However, after the Meiji Restoration, Japan was completely westernized. Although it still maintained the habit of "celebrating the Spring Festival", it gave up the traditional lunar calendar and set the Spring Festival on the first day of the Gregorian calendar, that is, on New Year's Day.

So there is a joke in modern Japan that says that women are like Christmas and will get married after 25 years; men are like Spring Festival, and it doesn’t matter after 30 years. They are talking about modern Japanese Spring Festival customs.

However, at this time of the Ming Dynasty, Japan's tradition of the Spring Festival was no different from that of the Central Plains, and it still adopted the traditional lunar calendar, which also made my uncle and uncle and Ye Gong feel more intimate.

It was the day of New Year's Eve in Japan. The day before New Year's Eve was called "Dahui Day". Yuan, Lan, and the girls of Qinglian and Yuhe ran out to purchase early in the morning, saying that they wanted to have a solid New Year. By the time they came back at noon, they actually bought several large bags of things!

I was very curious. When I leaned over to look through the package, I found that there were three kinds of things in it - the first type, food; the second type, the semi-finished food product; the third type, the raw materials for food...

So I fell into deep silence. Foodies really do not distinguish between national boundaries and dynasties! From this purchase, I can see through the past and present of these girls!

At night, I was teaching a few relatives to play mahjong. The kudon and the others served a bowl of soba noodles like a price, so that we must eat them all!

While eating noodles, Ye Gong asked with a smile, why is it soba noodles? This kind of noodles does not seem to be eaten often.

After Yuan sucked a noodle and raised his head to eat the whole noodle into his mouth, he muttered and said vaguely: "The reason why we eat soba noodles is because the soba noodles are thin and long, which represents long flow of water and health and longevity in the local culture. We all hope that our elders can live long like buckwheat noodles."

Mr. Ye laughed loudly after hearing this. Uncle Ye found it interesting and asked, "Is there any other reason?"

Yuan had swallowed all the noodles at this time, cleared her throat and replied, "Uncle, there are naturally some reasons!"

As he said that, he picked up a noodles with chopsticks and used a little force, the soba noodles broke. She squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "Because the buckwheat noodles are easy to break, the elders all said that they hope to break down all the hardships and worries of the year on the Day of the Great Dark Day and not bring them to the New Year. Another thing is that we hope that young people are like buckwheat plants, with tenacious vitality, not afraid of poverty, not afraid of wind and rain, and grow up healthily."

Uncle Ye nodded with a smile and said a long time.

Lan smiled and said, "Elders, this soba noodles must be eaten before midnight! If you can't finish them, it is said that it will affect your luck in the second year! This is not possible!"

After hearing this, several elders immediately smiled and said, "That's not OK! I lost my luck in gold, but Qi Lan's silver was lost! We have to eat more!"

As he said that, he ate noodles with big mouthfuls while looking at Yuan and Lan with a smile.

After eating soba noodles, Ye Gong twisted his beard and smiled: "Qi Lan!"

I said with a hee, "Here is here! Mr. Ye, you talk!"

Mr. Ye narrowed his eyes and smiled, "You are too old, you are not young. When I was as old as you, your uncle was almost born! Why are you not in a hurry to do your own business? If you want me to say, these two girls in front of you are good, what are you choosing?"

As soon as these words were said, the few people involved were stunned. I once sent a letter to Mr. Ye and others when I was engaged in Huamei, but after these changes, who knows what the situation is now? I was stammering and didn't know how to answer, Yuan and Lan also blushed and didn't speak. The atmosphere was awkward for a moment, and it was neither up nor down!

Qinglian looked at it, her eyes rolled around, and suddenly said unyieldingly: "Mr. Ye, have you forgotten me just when you see someone's handsome little girl? Then I don't support you! What are I missing than others?"

Yuhe heard it on the side, yes, it makes sense, it's time to get rid of the condom for the young master, and then started to cheer: "There are me and me! My mother said that I have a big butt and are easy to raise. Mr. Ye, you can't forget me!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter!

Zhang Youxi looked at it, humming and laughing, "I really don't know why you like this daze? They all want to marry him, stupid! If it were me, I must find the best man in the world before marrying!"

When Yuan heard her say to me, she was very unhappy and asked with a pout, "What do you think are the best man in the world?"

Zhang Youxi stammered and couldn't say it, and everyone was hilarious again.

Yuan and Lan took the opportunity to make trouble for New Year's money. Mr. Ye was happy and forgot about what happened just now. He smiled and took out a red envelope to block the New Year's money for everyone.

I dare not look at Yuan, but I could feel her scorching gaze. So I turned my head to look at Qinglian and cast a grateful look at her. Qinglian looked at me, looked at Yuan again, glanced at Lan, and finally looked at me again, making a sigh expression.

I sighed slightly in my heart. Actually, the most inexplicable thing in this matter is me! I don’t even know where my fiancée is at this time. Whatever you say to solve a lifelong matter is a castle in the air!

In fact, during my last trip to the Ming Dynasty, with the attitude and practices that Huamei gave me, I could have let go and not accommodate her at all, but I always feel that people should have a beginning and an end. Moreover, she was indeed suddenly suffering from a great disaster and was in a state of great excitement, which is understandable. I am waiting for her news, and even if I live up to Yuan’s feelings for this, I hope at least there will be an explanation and a result, and let’s talk about others.

For a moment, my heart was in a mess. Fortunately, they didn't give me too many opportunities to sigh and think about it, and the lively red envelope ceremony interrupted my thoughts.

In Japan, New Year's money is called "Nian Jade". In fact, in the Fanhuaxia cultural circle, everyone's considerations are similar. In traditional culture, people emphasize that people have three souls and seven spirits. People believe that children's souls are incomplete and are easily hurt by evil spirits. In order to exorcise evil, strengthen the right to ensure the healthy growth of children, adults remove the New Year's sacrificial offerings and distribute them to the children, which gradually evolved into New Year's money.

The New Year's money Ye Gongbao gave us was all ten taels, mainly because there were too many people - the first, second and third floors of the Sun Ji Noodle Restaurant were filled with banquets. We were on the third floor, including my confidants, and the lower floor was staffed by all kinds of people.

I made the New Year’s Eve dinner with the idea of ​​everyone having fun, but I didn’t expect that there were so many people, so this red envelope would be difficult to send! It’s not appropriate to be favored by one or the other, so I can only compress the number of units...

The other elders also expressed their feelings. According to the rules, they had to kowtow to receive New Year's money. There was no problem with my brothers Buhui and I kowtowed together. As a result, Yuan and the others insisted on getting together. When they saw that Jiugui Zhengxiao and others were unhappy, they also wanted to come. So after a while, the guys on the whole floor gathered beside me and gave great gifts to the elders!

Mr. Ye and his uncle were so happy. When they were old, they just liked to be lively. After kowtowing and continuing to eat and drink tea, Mr. Ye was so excited. At this moment, he was still a little difficult to calm down. He didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly said: "I don't know where the third brother is now? How about it? Unfortunately, the second brother can never see it again!"

After saying that, his expression suddenly came to a safe state.

Only I heard these two sentences, and I felt very uncomfortable when I saw him sad. But during the Chinese New Year, I couldn't make the old man sad. So I said seriously: "Mr. Ye, the second uncle, has a very high position in his life, and he has no regrets. As for the length of a person's life, it is determined by heaven and should not be demanded. Therefore, there is no need to be sad for the second uncle. Tomorrow, I will burn an extra stick of incense for the second uncle and tell him more about the current affairs!"

Ye Gong nodded silently. I said again: "As for the third uncle, I think he is good at this!"

Ye Gongqi said: "Oh! How do you say this?"

I smiled and said, "Although I met the Third Uncle and I haven't met for a long time, I deeply feel his cheerfulness and open-mindedness. In his opinion, as long as I feel at peace, I am home, and I am free and happy everywhere I go! Moreover, the Third Uncle is very healthy and must be healthy! Maybe one day he is tired, he will come back to find you! If you want me to see, he has always been thinking about you in his heart!"

Mr. Ye's eyes were red with excitement and asked, "Really? He is still thinking about me?"

I nodded and said, "Yes! When I saw Li Shuang, the third uncle was like seeing his relatives!"

Mr. Ye nodded and was excited for a while, and asked again: "Where is Li Shuang? Show me again!"

I was silent for a while and said, "Mr. Ye, I will leave Li Shuang to my fiancée to keep."

Mr. Ye nodded and said, "Well, it's that girl from the Li family! I heard from them that she is a good girl! But why didn't she come to celebrate the New Year together?"

I shook my head, sighed, and told the situation in detail. When Mr. Ye heard this, he sighed and said for a while: "The little girl's house is really uneasy to suffer such a disaster. It's better for you to let her go and go! But you should still be careful and don't let the girl's house run outside!"

I was so amazed and laughed. I didn't even know where she went. It wasn't modern, so I could call you anytime. But I nodded and said yes.

Ye Gong said again: "I think these two Japanese girls are not bad either. I really think about you everywhere. If one day... I actually don't think I value races very much!"

I nodded and said nothing. Mr. Ye sighed and patted my shoulder. Just as he was about to speak, suddenly a continuous bell rang outside!

In Japan, temples have to ring bells on New Year's Eve, and a total of 108 rings are ringed. It is said that this is the sentence "When hearing the bell, the troubles are clear" in the Buddhist scriptures. Buddhist doctrine believes that there are 108 kinds of sufferings in the world, so the New Year's bells must be ringed 108 times to eliminate all people's troubles.

Mr. Ye stopped talking and listened to the bell outside, thinking about it. Because every time the bell rings, it would take a long time to wait until the last bell was completely quiet, so it took about half an hour to ring, which is an hour. It is said that when ringing the bell, it would be 107 times before midnight on New Year's Eve, and the remaining one would be ticked after midnight. In this way, you can no longer be disturbed by the old worries of the past year and welcome the New Year carefree.

Sure enough, at about midnight at 11 o'clock, the bell began to ring. During this stage, everyone was drinking tea quietly, thinking about their own thoughts, or silently reviewing the situation of the year, or praying for the coming year. It was until midnight. When the last bell rang, Ye Gong picked up the wine glass and congratulated everyone on the New Year. Suddenly, the building was filled with joy again!
