Perfection of Rebirth

Chapter 123 New Year's Eve
After the reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, everyone gathered around to watch the Spring Festival Gala and chatted.

The ratings of the Spring Festival Gala at this time are still good. The common people have not experienced so many variety shows and the impact of the Internet, and they still recognize the Spring Festival Gala programs.Of course, even though they were sitting together watching the Spring Festival Gala, few people actually watched it seriously, they were all chattering.

Besides, after eating and chatting, each of them has to go back to each house to prepare for the New Year's Eve and other things.

The custom in Wu County is that you don't collect lucky money after you work, and it is usually the person who needs to give the lucky money, of course, it depends on others.This custom is different from that of the Pearl River Delta. As long as you are not married, no matter how old you are, you can receive lucky money and lai see. Like several colleagues of Jiang Hui in the previous life, from the time he entered school until he was over 40 , Every year when I start work during the Spring Festival, I go to my colleagues to make red see.

When he got home at night, Jiang Hui was a little dizzy. Fortunately, he took a shower before eating, so he could go to sleep anytime.Thinking about what Bai Xue was doing, she made a call.

It took a while for the phone to connect, and Bai Xue's voice came from the receiver, "Honey, I just watched the Spring Festival Gala with my parents in the living room, and when I saw your call, I quickly found an excuse to go back to the room."

"Haha, with the sharp eyes of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, they will definitely ask you who opened the phone in a while, even if you don't say it, you can probably guess it in your heart," Jiang Hui said.

"Ah~ what should I do, they don't support me looking for a boyfriend so quickly, they still think that I will find Haizhu again after I graduate," Bai Xue said.

"If you don't support it, it doesn't mean you don't oppose it. You're already done. If they ask, you should say you're friends first, and then tell them the specific situation later," Jiang Hui said.

"Well, you haven't called me a few times these days, don't you miss me?" Bai Xue said coquettishly.

"Honey, I call you every day, and I miss you all the time," Jiang Hui said.

"I think about me all the time, why do I only have one call a day? Did I go back to my hometown and see my childhood sweetheart's beautiful female classmate and forget about me?" Bai Xue said.

"Honey, you read too many Qiong Yao's novels, how can there be so many female classmates from childhood," Jiang Hui said.

"Is Chinese New Year fun for you?" Bai Xue asked.

……

The two of them talked on the phone for more than half an hour, and the phone started to get hot before hanging up reluctantly.

On Jiang Hui's side, his parents didn't ask specifically who they had been on the phone with for so long.Bai Xue's side is different.

When Bai Xue entered the house for more than ten minutes and hadn't come out, Bai Xue's parents started to mutter.

"Who do you think is calling, this girl wants to avoid us to answer?"

"I don't know, nine out of ten it is a male student."

"Xiaoxue is not in love."

"I don't know, it's not surprising, they are already college students."

"I said the surname is Bai, why are you not nervous at all, how many girls do you have? Xiaoxue is still young and ignorant, what if she is cheated?".

"I'm not a three-year-old anymore, why do you worry so much?"

……

When Bai Xue finished answering the phone and walked out of the room, Bai Xue's parents continued to watch the Spring Festival Gala as if nothing had happened.

"Xiaoxue, are you still used to going to university in the imperial capital?" asked Bai Xue's mother.

"Mom, this is the first time you've asked me this question," Bai Xue said.

"Mom, isn't this worried about you? I heard that there are many more boys than girls in your school?" said Bai Xue's mother.

"Yes, the ratio of men to women is seven to one, but our major is not that exaggerated," Bai Xue said.

"Isn't that why many boys pursue you?" said Bai Xue's mother.

"Mom, when will there be fewer people chasing me?" Bai Xue said.

……

After all, Bai Xue's mother held back and didn't ask Bai Xue directly if she had a boyfriend.

After twelve o'clock on New Year's Eve, until the next morning, the sound of firecrackers in Jiang Hui's ears basically didn't stop.With the improvement of living standards, fireworks and firecrackers are becoming more and more crazy in rural areas.When some large-scale fireworks are launched, the sound is really shaking, and I dare not put them on the roof, otherwise it will easily crack the roof.The firecrackers went from a few hundred to tens of thousands, and the next morning, there were firecracker papers all over the floor at the door of every household.

These firecracker papers and the like will not be cleaned up in the first grade of junior high school, and they will not be cleaned until after the second grade of junior high school.

This is because it is said that the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar is the birthday of the broom, and the broom cannot be used on this day, otherwise it will sweep away luck, lose money, and attract the "broom star", which will lead to bad luck.If it is necessary to sweep the floor, it must be swept from the outside to the inside.In addition, garbage is generally not taken out on the first day of the Lunar New Year.Even if there is a mountain of garbage, it cannot be thrown outside the door, but must be collected together. This means that taking out the things at home is taking out the blessings of the family.

In the early morning of the first day of the new year, Jiang Hui was woken up by the sound of New Year greetings from several cousins, so he had to get up and go to New Year greetings with everyone.

The custom of New Year's greetings in Jianghui Village is that on the morning of the first day of the new year, each family takes a photo of a representative, of course there can be more than one, with several relatives who are close to each other, from the beginning of the village to the end of the village, and those who are closely related.Generally speaking, a few auspicious words and a cup of tea are considered complete.

Although it is said to be a quick tour, but due to the many places to go, the New Year's greetings will not end until after ten o'clock.After all, it was a family for hundreds of years, and many people in a village were somewhat related.

During Jiang Hui's New Year's greetings, Jiang Hui also received calls from everyone on Xiaonei. Even Penguin's senior manager took the initiative to call Jiang Hui and wish each other New Year's greetings.

Jiang Hui also hurriedly called Dean He, Professor Chen and others to pay their respects for the year.But at this time, everyone was busy, so it took several calls to get through, and then hung up after saying a few words of blessing.

Now that I have paid New Year's greetings to Dean He, I must call He Ling, and there is Bai Xue behind.After such a call, the battery of the mobile phone was almost dead.

However, there is no way around this. The more Jiang Hui's company develops and grows in a few years, more and more people will come and want to pay New Year's greetings. There is no way to escape. The national conditions are such that this is not exempt.

After paying New Year's greetings in the morning, Jiang Hui hurried home and had lunch.It is customary in the village to eat vegetarian food in the morning on the first day of the new year. For a person like Jiang Hui, who has no meat and dislikes, it is better not to eat vegetarian food. He might as well wait until lunch to eat together.

So far, the New Year's greetings have come to an end, and the rest is the guest from the second day of junior high school, and the Spring Festival has begun to enter the mode of eating and drinking.
