After the divorce, the system gave me 500 million

Chinese New Year is a lunar year, and the days are counted according to the lunar calendar.

The day Jiang Chen returned home was the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, or the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, and five days later it would be the first day of the first lunar month, which is the Spring Festival.

(Note: The twelve lunar months are aliased as the first month, the apricot month, the peach month, the Huai month, the May month, the lotus month, the clever month, the laurel month, the chrysanthemum month, the yin month, the Gu month, and the twelfth lunar month.)
The Chinese New Year, as people say, usually lasts from the first day of the first lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, that is, the Lantern Festival.

This custom has lasted for thousands of years, and has already taken root in the bones and blood of Daxia people.

In the past few days after returning home, Jiang Chen and these young people have been helping Jiang Chen's parents.

Before New Year's Eve, they have to complete a major event, which is to use colored paper stickers to put red makeup on the whole building.

The colored paper of the ancient capital is also a world intangible cultural heritage. It is a major business card of the ancient capital. The colored paper of the ancient capital is stunning, beautiful and vivid. It mainly contains images of animals and characters. The red ones are very festive and very suitable for Chinese New Year.

The beauty is beautiful, but the amount of the project is too large. The room they live in alone is several hundred square meters, and they don't know how much colored paper they need, let alone posting other doors.

There are five of them in total. Jiang Chen's parents are both masters of paper-cutting, especially Jiang's mother, who is so dexterous that she can cut out seven simple animals in one minute. Jiang's father is less, five in one minute.

Among Jiang Chen, Du Yaoyao, and Xiao Xiao, Jiang Chen's paper-cutting speed was not so fast at the beginning. Xiao Xiao could cut two rabbits in a minute, Du Yaoyao could cut three, and Jiang Chen could only cut one in a minute. Ugly bunny.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect.

After Jiang Chen cut the paper for more than an hour, his speed increased, and he finally caught up with Xiaoxiao. He could cut two papers in one minute, but the quality of the samples was bad, so they couldn't be used.

Undoubtedly, Jiang Chen has become the worst paper-cut player here, and Du Yaoyao can cut four paper-cuts per minute.

When they got to the back, these people completely looked down on Jiang Chen's cutting and called him to take a break from the meeting, but Jiang Chen was pissed off.

The despised Jiang Chen had no choice but to put on his apron and look for comfort in the kitchen.

For the past three days, their family has been cutting paper at home, cutting paper for half a day, and pasting it at night.

No matter what, you have to post what you post in your own home, and other family meanings are also fine. If there are too many posts, it will be difficult to clean up.

The family struggled for three days, and the effect was remarkable.

Most of the upstairs windows of Jiang Chen's luxurious residence were pasted with red and festive grilles. People passing by stopped to look carefully, and people upstairs also pointed to this building to talk about it from time to time.

When the lights are turned on at night, the building is like a red lighthouse, shining red light. With the light and shadow shining, those paper-cuts seem to come alive, because they are basically pasted small animal paper-cuts, and there is no scary problem. On the contrary, it is full of flavor.

Jiang Chen also understood what the two elders wanted. They didn't know what they needed, and they could only rely on these little things to make their lives better, so they deliberately did these things.

Time flies, and soon they ushered in the last day of the twelfth lunar month, which is what we commonly call New Year's Eve.

The old man got up in the cold and wanted to hear the first sound of the rooster.
-
Qing, Zhao Yi.

There is no rooster crowing in the city, but there are many voices that can remind people.

Of course, on such days, many people wake up naturally.

Jiang Chen woke up a little after five o'clock in the morning, but he didn't expect his parents to be earlier than him.

The two old men were busy in the kitchen, Jiang's mother made noodles, and Jiang's father chopped meat.

When Jiang Chen woke up, the old man had just finished making the ingredients and was about to start making dumplings.

That's right, they got up so early just to make dumplings.

Dumplings are also known as jiaozi. Eating jiaozi on New Year’s Eve, the last day of the year, has the meaning of reunion jiaozi and reunion.

Breakfast on this day must not be late, late is not good, you must get up early.

"Xiaochen woke up."

Hearing the movement, the two elders saw Jiang Chen who had just left the bedroom, and Mother Jiang said with a smile.

"Mom and Dad, good morning!"

As Jiang Chen said, he walked into the kitchen and made dumplings together after washing his hands.

Soon, Du Yaoyao also got up and helped out when she saw making dumplings.

When Xiao Xiao got up, the dumplings they made were enough to eat.

At this time, Father Jiang led Jiang Chen to post Spring Festival couplets.

But there is one more thing to do before that.

"Happy New Year, sister!"

"Happy New Year, brother!"

"..."

The first thing the little guy did when he got up was to run to the elders one by one, hug his thighs and say a sweet New Year's greeting, then stared at them expectantly with wide eyes.

As pistachios in the family, small red envelopes are naturally indispensable. Jiang Chen's parents easily gave a big red envelope.

Jiang Chen's red envelopes are not easy to get, he asked Xiao Xiao to say something nice before giving the red envelopes.

The little guy racked his brains to say all the words of praise he had learned in order to get a red envelope.

However, what made Jiang Chen dumbfounded was that his parents gave him a big red envelope.

Du Yaoyao could understand and was very happy when his parents gave Du Yaoyao a red envelope, but he is such an adult, why would he take a red envelope?

Anyway, in the eyes of your parents, no matter how old you are, you are still a child, and it is impossible to retreat, so Jiang Chen can only accept it.

After collecting the red envelopes, Jiang Chen and Father Jiang went to arrange the New Year's items.

Spring Festival couplets are divided into upper and lower couplets. When posting Spring Festival couplets, some people often paste the upper and lower couplets in the wrong position.

The key to distinguish the upper and lower couplets is the last character. According to the metrical regulations, the last character of the upper couplet must end with a word with a flat tone (three tones and four tones in Mandarin), while the lower line must end with a word with a flat tone (one and two tones in Mandarin).Moreover, when pasting couplets, the upper couplet should be pasted on the right, the lower couplet should be pasted on the left, and the left and right should be divided by facing the gate or pilaster.

The word "Fu" should be pasted upside down, so that it means "Fu Dao"!
Sticking door gods, hanging lanterns, if you are in the countryside, you should set off firecrackers, but of course you can’t do it in the city. Jiang Chen took his mobile phone and played the sound of firecrackers exploding once, which counted as setting off.

After a lot of work, when the father and son finally got it done around six o'clock, Jiang's mother also called them to eat.

This first bowl of food should be paid homage to God and the ancestors, and placed on the incense table to worship the ancestors.

Only when a stick of incense is burnt can it be taken down, shared with the family, and accepted the blessings bestowed by the ancestors.

Although these are somewhat feudal and ignorant, it is also an idea that this custom has been passed down for thousands of years and cannot be lightly discarded.

The family sat at the table and had breakfast, talking and laughing.

"Yo, I got it!"

Jiang Chen said suddenly.

The next moment, he took out a coin from his mouth.

"Xiaochen, you are blessed with good luck and wealth. Your career will definitely be even more prosperous next year!"

The others all smiled and blessed Jiang Chen.

Dumplings are like ingots, implying wealth. Adding a coin inside can be said to add color to wealth. Whoever can eat this coin in a pot of dumplings will be blessed and wealthy.
