After rebirth, I started a life of attributes

Chapter 113 New Years
00:00 pm.

The sound of firecrackers and fireworks continued.

The sound of firecrackers and fireworks can be heard from a distance all the time.

New Year's Eve is lively, and every village is carrying out its own worship services.

The same was true in Chen Feng's village. After the people from each branch arrived, they picked up the tributes from each family and set off for the land of their ancestors.

Chen Feng followed the "large army" and carried things towards the land of his ancestors.

He was holding two bags in his hands. The bag in his left hand contained onions, garlic, and taro to be used during worship. The bag in his right hand contained firecrackers to be set off after the worship.

Other things are held by other family members, and each family member is responsible for a part.

Involve all family members in the worship service.

The place of ancestors is not very far, it only takes 10 minutes to walk.

But when Chen Feng and the others arrived at the land of their ancestors, people from other branches were worshiping.

It was a first-come, first-served basis, so Chen Feng's branch could only stop and wait.

They can only enter to worship their ancestors after the branch worshipers who are worshiping have finished their worship and exit.

Fortunately, when Chen Feng and the others arrived, the worship branch was almost over.

You don't have to wait long, it's over in a few minutes.

After they left, Chen Feng entered. After entering, each family placed all the chickens, ducks, fish, etc. for worship.

Immediately afterwards, the person in charge of placing the onion, garlic and taro from each family stepped forward and placed the onion, garlic and taro.
Those responsible for lighting incense and candles also began to light incense and candles.
After lighting incense and candles, you can worship. After three rounds of worship, you can make tea and pour wine for your ancestors.
The worship ceremony was carried out in an orderly manner. After toasting the ancestors with wine, they saluted again.

After the worship ceremony, it was time to set off firecrackers.

In the past, setting off firecrackers was a test of courage and courage, especially the old version of firecrackers. The fuses of the old version of firecrackers burned very quickly. Once ignited, they exploded within two seconds.

There are huge safety risks.

Therefore, the old version of firecrackers are gradually being phased out. The fuses of the new version of firecrackers burn slower and explode six or seven seconds after being ignited, which is much safer.

Wrap the heads of all the firecrackers together and light one firecracker, and other firecrackers will also set off smoothly.

Hearing the popping sound, everyone covered their ears and hid away to avoid being accidentally injured by the exploding firecrackers.
After the firecrackers are set off, another round of worship ceremony is performed, which ends the worship of the ancestors.

Each family packed up their belongings and headed to the next place of worship to worship the ancestors of their own branch.
After spending nearly an hour, Chen Feng finally finished worshiping all his ancestors, then returned home with the empty bag and went to bed.

Unfortunately, it is already the first day of the Lunar New Year, and other villages are setting off firecrackers and fireworks to celebrate
The sound of firecrackers and fireworks spread so far that Chen Feng's village could hear it.

Lying in bed trying to fall asleep is difficult.

Fortunately, Chen Feng was tired enough. After being disturbed by the sound of firecrackers for nearly ten minutes, he still fell asleep.
At six o'clock in the morning, before it was fully light, Chen Feng, who was still sleeping soundly, was awakened by the sound of firecrackers.

Because it was the first day of the Lunar New Year and he couldn't sleep in, Chen Feng got up directly after being woken up by the sound of firecrackers.

His parents got up early. His father, Chen Guoqiang, was sorting out the couplets to be posted later, and his mother, Wang Huiyun, was cooking a "vegetarian meal" for the first day of the New Year.

According to the custom in Chen Feng's area, vegetarian food is required on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the prescribed vegetarian noodles are "Western noodles".

In the morning, they had to offer incense to their ancestors, so after Chen Feng finished washing, he rode a small electric donkey to offer incense.

After I came back from the incense burning, the couplets at home were posted, and I could have breakfast.After breakfast, it’s the children’s favorite part of asking for red envelopes.

On this day, children who usually don't want to get up in the morning got up early in the morning and happily put on their New Year's clothes. They were all new from top to bottom, including underwear and socks.

Then, they go to various houses in groups to ask for red envelopes!
The red amount in Yue Province is relatively small, usually 1-5 yuan, and few people give more than 5 yuan.

Unless they are immediate family members.

When Chen Feng was a child, the amount of ordinary New Year red envelopes ranged from 1 cent to 5 yuan, and most of them were 1 yuan. Only stingy people would give 5 cent red envelopes; while the New Year red envelopes for immediate family members ranged from 100 to [-] yuan. wait.

现在不同了，普通新年红包的金额已经从原来的1块钱上涨至5块了，直系亲属的新年红包也从5-100块上涨至20-200不等。

Unfortunately, since Chen Feng is over 18 years old, non-immediate relatives will no longer give red envelopes. Only immediate family members will give red envelopes.

He does not enjoy the increase in the amount of ordinary red envelopes.

Although the amount of ordinary red envelopes has increased to 5 yuan, today's children are not happy after receiving a 5 yuan red envelope. Instead, they show disgust.

"It's 5 yuan again, so little."

I was very happy to receive a red envelope from an elder. After I left, I opened it and found that it was only 5 yuan. I was instantly unhappy.

Nowadays, prices have skyrocketed, and you can’t even get a bowl of wontons for five yuan now.

During the New Year, wontons cost as little as ten yuan a bowl and nine yuan a bowl.

Therefore, children will definitely be unhappy when they see that the red envelope is only 5 yuan.

After all, they want to get more red envelope money so that they can go to the market to buy toy guns, remote control cars, and remote control airplanes to play with.
The first day of the Lunar New Year is the only day when children have money. When they have money, they must go to the market in the town to buy something.

However, most of them are too naive. The New Year's red envelope they just received was "cheated" by their parents as soon as they got home. They said they would save it and return it to them when they grow up.
Seeing his nephews and nieces returning home and being deceived by their parents, Chen Feng had a smile on his face.

When he was a child, he was deceived by his parents. Now that he saw his nieces and nephews being deceived, he felt much better.

After the niece and nephew came out of the house, they came to Chen Feng's house to ask for red envelopes.

Chen Guoqiang and Wang Huiyun were all smiles when they saw their grandchildren’s nephews and nieces visiting their home.

Then, red envelopes specially prepared for nieces and nephews appeared in the inner pockets of their clothes.

The nieces and nephews happily took the red envelopes from Chen Feng’s parents and put them into their pockets with smiles.

Soon, Chen Feng's Chen Yun also sent "naked" red envelopes to his nieces and nephews.

Chen Yun is not married yet, but he has already gone out to work and wants to give red envelopes to his nieces and nephews.

Just because I'm not married yet, I can't use the "profit seal", so I give the money directly.

Chen Yun gave each of his nieces and nephews a 20 yuan ticket, and they were very happy.

After asking for Chen Yun's "red envelope", the nieces and nephews left happily.

But before going out, he was stopped by Chen Feng.

"Don't leave yet. Don't you want Uncle Feng's red envelope?"

Chen Feng smiled and stopped his niece and nephew who were about to leave, and then took out a stack of bright red hundred-dollar bills from his pocket.
"Come on, come on, one red sun for each person!"
