Chapter 386: Beginning of the New Year (1)

On the first day of the first lunar month, it was called "Sui Dan", "Head of the First Emperor", "Yuanshuo", etc. The Sui and Tang Dynasties were mostly called "New Year's Day", also known as "Sui Zheng".

This day is the day when younger generations pay homage to their elders in turn. Children who have not yet reached the family or have not yet had their crowns and hairpins can receive a New Year’s money. This is the blessing and wish of the elders to their younger generations. Those who have become family will give their hearts to their elders, which may not necessarily be money. In ancient times, it was mostly gifts that mean longevity, such as calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, and even if they were not good, they would have a bowl of longevity noodles...

Shuofang's new year is a bit fun at the beginning.

The crowds talking about yesterday's night banquets can be seen everywhere on the streets. What is even more shocking is that the 28-Bao Bar and its owner who passed by frequently on the streets early in the morning. Those who are skilled in riding even started taking people for a ride.

Perhaps it was just for the sake of skill in driving, or perhaps it was just for the purpose of showing off. In short, the eighty-eight lucky guys yesterday chose to ride a bicycle today. Even at the gate of the county magistrate's mansion, there was a figure in brocade clothes pressing the bell with no chance.

Ding bell~ Ding bell~

Passers-by who heard the sound of bells are not unfamiliar with this thing. I saw many people in the inner city riding this thing before the New Year. The most common ones were Ma Zhou's one. Compared with the 28th big bar, it is much better in terms of appearance and functionality.

In the crowd, several people who passed by looked at the 28th bar and left with envious eyes. They stuttered on their mouths, turned around and continued to brag about what they saw and heard last night with their companions.

"What impressed the most was the episode "The Legend of White Snake". You didn't see it..."

"...Who knew that those girls suddenly disappeared... they actually appeared in front of me..."

"...That girl Miao'er is so amazing... That song "Galan Rain" is so nice..."

“…If there is still a lot of money at the end of the year… I’ll go and see it…”

"...The most amazing thing is the final countdown to stay up to the New Year... the fireworks all over the sky... I was crying..."

"Yes, yes, we also saw it... although it is far away... it is really beautiful..."

"And, that song "Unforgettable Tonight"..."

"The husband is the husband... I must be right to live with the husband..."

Several vendors who were reluctant to buy tickets to enter the venue were fascinated by the sound of the news and wished they could go back in time. Perhaps if possible, they would have been there to see the world in person even if they lost all their money.

Unfortunately, there was only one opportunity. When I heard my companions say it, they were somewhat envious. This is how this person is. Only those who have experienced it have the capital to show off. They also saw the fireworks in the sky in the outer city last night, but because it was too far away, they couldn't see it clearly. They only knew that the picture was only seen in their lives, as if the galaxy came to the world, and it was so beautiful.

In addition to a wide range of programs, Xi Yunfei also arranged a countdown to welcome the new year at the end. Like later generations, hundreds of fireworks flew into the sky just for the beauty of that moment.

As for the song "Unforgettable Tonight", Xi Yunfei wanted to develop a routine that he would sing it once every year after the New Year's Eve banquet, and sing it together. This is also an important way to increase the sense of belonging.

The night banquet ended until early this morning. During this period, it was delayed for more than two hours because of the departure. When many people returned home, it was almost dawn. However, now that they can still get up so early in the morning to discuss the night banquet, they probably were too excited to sleep.

In the morning, Xi Yunfei first greeted his mother Liu's New Year and received a small red envelope. It was not gold or silver, but a pair of thousand-layer cloth shoes collected by Liu's personal hand. Xi Yunfei liked it very much and put it on the spot. Then he went to pay New Year greetings to several uncles and aunts in Xiagou Village. This time he collected some money, but they were all intentional. However, the red envelopes Xi Yunfei gave several children were a little bigger, which scared them so much that they didn't dare to accept them.

"Is this bracelet in sterling silver?" Master Qiao Er took Yaya's bracelet and blamed Xi Yunfei for being too generous.

When Yaya's parents heard that it was pure silver, they were so nervous that they did not dare to accept it. Their relationship with Xi Yunfei was not as familiar as Qiao Erye. However, Yaya often went to Xijiazhuang to play with Xi Ruhui, which allowed their family to gain a lot of benefits.

Xi Yunfei nodded indifferently. He might not be willing to let go of Jinzi, but silver products are really nothing. You can buy a good silver bracelet for dozens of dollars on the light curtain, which is best for gifts.

After taking the silver bracelet from Master Qiao Er's hand, Xi Yunfei put it on the ignorant Yaya with his own hands. The silver bracelet also had a small bell, and a pleasant sound spread in a slight wave, which matched Yaya's lively temperament.

"It's just a bracelet. I also gave one to three sisters. This way, the two sisters each look better."

After Xi Yunfei said that, Master Qiao Er wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Xi Yunfei, and said with some blame: "Mr. Second Master, don't worry about such a small matter. Today's day is special. I also want to make a good fortune. But why did you, the girl you like in the mountains told me today..."

Mr. Qiao Er actually only found out about Dashan’s relationship two days ago. Dashan was dressed up in high spirits that day, and went out with the New Year’s benefits he had just received at home. He didn’t come back drunk until midnight.

At that time, Master Qiao Erye thought Dashan was taking those things to play in the fireworks and willow alleys, so he was so angry that he picked up the broom and sucked it all over the place. Although the father and son each had a New Year's benefit, who didn't know the value of those things? How many merchants outside thought of ways to buy them, and the prices were soaring. However, the people in Xiagou Village are not short of money now, and the enamel furniture and fragrant toothpaste are indeed easy to use, so they keep them all.

But what made Master Qiao Er speechless was that Dashan not only moved his things empty, but also secretly took his fragrant pan into his hands to give it to others.

"Anyway, you never take a shower, so it's a waste to keep it..."

"I'll kill you, the grandson..."

"Don't beat me, I didn't go to the brothel, I'm, I'm, I've gone to see Li'er..."

When Mr. Qiao said it today, Lao Huai was comforting her. He originally thought that his son was dull, but he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to give gifts to others. Moreover, the other party was a girl, haha, when he thought about it, he was crying and thought that my Qiao family had a descendant.

Xi Yunfei was also happy for Dashan. Just as he was about to say something to congratulate, Master Qiao Er's face turned dark again.

"But that woman is actually sick for a long time and can't afford to sit on a bed all year round. I heard that these days are better and I can walk out of the yard. Dashan ran to accompany her again today. Oh, I'm so angry."

"The body of a long-term illness?" Xi Yunfei was stunned when he heard this. This was not good news. It was not that he was heartless and cold-blooded. It was just that Master Qiao was looking forward to the mountains to pass on the family lineage to the old Qiao family. If this person was sick and weak... he would probably be a problem even in the room.

No wonder Mr. Qiao was so angry. Xi Yunfei shook his head helplessly, thinking that when Dashan came back, he should talk to him. If possible, he could invite a famous doctor to treat the woman. Perhaps he might be useful as a quack doctor.

"By the way, Erlang, our smelting workshop has been built now. The blast furnace has been burned for three days and three nights. There should be no problem. Do we really need to smelify iron?" Master Qiao Er asked excitedly.

Xi Yunfei said 'yes': "Iron smelting is just the second thing, mainly because I have some ideas to need this stove..."
