Chapter 3039 Disappointing Chinese New Year
The night passed like this. Amidst the rumble of mahjong, Lin Feng ushered in the first day of the first lunar month of the Year of the Dog.
It is a custom in China to pay New Year greetings to the elders on the first day of the Lunar New Year. As for the elders, prepare a meal, drink, and red envelopes, and sit at home, waiting for the younger generations to come and knock on the door to say New Year greetings. As for the younger generations, no matter what happened last night
No matter how late you play, you have to get up on time in the morning, put on new clothes, dress up beautifully, and go to pay New Year greetings to your elders.
Lin Feng's relatives are all in Chu City, so they don't have much to do, going to so many relatives to pay New Year greetings. Early in the morning, a total of nine people, including Li Zhiyou, went to Lin Feng's parents' room and knocked on the door, and then
I wish my parents a happy new year and good health.
"Come on, come on, one red envelope for each!" Lin Feng's parents smiled and handed each of them a red envelope.
"Come on, Youxi, this is yours, your biggest!" Mother Lin walked up to Lin Youxi and handed Lin Youxi an obviously huge red envelope. Then she walked up to Li Zhiyou and said, "Come on, this is for your belly."
The baby is here. During this period, you don’t go anywhere, just stay at home and take good care of the baby. When Mei Xi was pregnant with Yu Xi, we didn’t know, so we couldn’t take care of you. If you were pregnant, we
We must not ignore it.”
Li Zhiyou sweetly accepted this red envelope which was obviously bigger than Lin Youxi.
"Huh, grandma, that's not fair." Lin Youxi compared, and it was obvious that his share was much less, and he suddenly refused.
Haha! Everyone burst into laughter.
"Hmph, Aunt Li, Aunt Jessica, Aunt Avril, Aunt Liu, Aunt Lin, Aunt Sharapova, Happy New Year, bring me the red envelope!" Lin Youxi rolled her eyes when she saw everyone laughing at her, and immediately extended her hand.
, before the girls could react, they rolled the red envelopes they had just received into a bag on their backs specially designed to hold red envelopes.
"Thank you, aunties! Happy New Year!" Lin Youxi stuck out her tongue proudly.
Oops! The girls were dumbfounded. This... this... they were screwed by Lin Youxi!
Lin Youxi shook her head triumphantly. These aunts were too embarrassed to ask for the red envelope from a little devil like herself. Usually, due to Lin Feng's money control, although Lin Youxi is the daughter of the world's richest man, in fact, the money she can control every month
It will not exceed 1,000 yuan. This includes all her snacks, clothing and other pocket money. Every year during the Chinese New Year, Lin's father and Lin's mother's red envelopes are the most generous. This is also the most generous income for Lin Youxi's small treasury this year.
But this time, Li Zhiyou and the others got their red envelopes by themselves. This time I can buy a lot of things. Hum hum, I want to...
Lin Youxi was still thinking about what to buy, but the small bag he was carrying was snatched away by Lin Feng.
"Dad, what are you doing! You are not allowed to steal my things!" Lin Youxi became anxious as soon as he saw it, "That is the red envelope given to me by the aunts, you can't take it away!"
Lin Feng smiled.
"Don't worry. I won't return it to them. But didn't you promise that you would donate this year's red envelope income to charity? Why, you forgot!" Lin Feng smiled faintly.
"Ah -" Lin Youxi suddenly shook his head in disappointment when he heard this. If he had known this, why would he have gone to such a thankless effort to grab so many red envelopes? If he grabbed it this year, if he wanted to grab it again next year, there would be no way. He thought
At this point, Lin Youxi became depressed, with one thing written on his face - embarrassment.
The girls laughed. Only Lin Feng could cure this little witch-like Lin Youxi. It would be impossible for anyone else to cure her.
"Okay, let's go have breakfast together. Then go back to your room and have a good sleep." Lin Feng said with a smile. Anyway, there are no other relatives and friends in Shanghai, so there is no need to go out to pay New Year's greetings. After staying up all night, everyone is already tired.
After breakfast, I had a good sleep, and then started to enjoy the festive atmosphere of the New Year.
After breakfast, I woke up. It was already 4 pm. After everyone cleaned up, they took the bus and started swimming in Shanghai, wondering where to go to celebrate the New Year's Day. However, Shanghai was still lively all the way.
, but it was no different from usual.
"Lin, is this the Spring Festival?" This is Sharapova's first time in China to celebrate the Spring Festival. When she originally studied Chinese, she learned a lot about Chinese culture. She is not familiar with the Spring Festival, the most solemn festival in China, and this time she comes to China.
, she was looking forward to it very much. But she didn’t expect that what she saw was completely different from what was said in the book. During the Spring Festival, weren’t there dragon lanterns, stilts and so on? I watched some videos and it was very lively, Sha
Lapova is also planning to come to China this time to see it with her own eyes, and it will be an eye-opener. What is the result?
Sharapova found that she didn't see anything! People were coming and going on Shanghai Street. It was lively, but it was almost as lively as a Western festival, without any national characteristics. This made Sharapova very disappointed.
Hearing Sharapova's voice of regret, Lin Feng also sighed. The atmosphere of the New Year is getting lighter and lighter now. Before the New Year, people who went out to work kept rushing back, no matter how their family's finances were.
, no matter what our luck is, we all look forward to the New Year. It seems that everything will be fine after the New Year. After the New Year, we will be very happy and fun.
But in fact, before the Chinese New Year, the festive atmosphere was indeed strong, and you could buy everything. However, after the Chinese New Year, I found that this year was very dull. Although with the reform and opening up, everyone's wallets are getting bigger and bigger, and their living standards are getting better and better.
The weather is getting higher and higher, but during the Chinese New Year, the festive atmosphere is getting weaker and weaker. Although businesses are putting up lanterns and colorful decorations, they are all just for money. It is really a Chinese New Year, but there is nothing like the real Chinese Lunar New Year.
There is no atmosphere at all.
For example, dragon lantern dancing, stilt walking, and street parades such as sedan chairs and boats are hard to see now. Especially the bigger the city, the harder it is to see such typical and traditional Chinese symbols.
.I don’t know who said it—Chinese people are losing their national identity. Lin Feng doesn’t remember who said this, but it’s true.
Lin Feng has traveled around the world over the years, and wherever he goes, he can feel the strong exotic atmosphere. As long as you are in this country, you can feel the culture of this country. Only sometimes when he returns to China, Lin Feng
I don’t know what Chinese culture is. In addition to the Chinese characters that can be seen everywhere on the street, what else can represent Chinese culture? China has 5,000 years of civilization. Do you think there are only so few Chinese characters left? This is obviously not the case. There are many more in China.
, many, such as Peking Opera, cross talk, etc. Some of these have declined, and some are still persisting, but it is undeniable that Chinese culture is being forgotten by people at a rapid speed, and many unique skills have been lost.
Or is being lost.
This is Chinese-style sadness. Why the international community has always had a very hostile attitude towards the Chinese. In addition to consistent discrimination, more importantly, it is also because the Chinese are ruining their own culture and their own traditions. A country that can forget its traditions
A nation is a very scary nation. Especially when this nation has no faith, it will definitely be the craziest nation in the world.
Tradition, faith! Lin Feng suddenly thought of many, many things. As the richest businessman in China, perhaps he should do something for this country and this nation. Not only can he develop the most fun games, but also
It can also bring this nation back to its soul!
"Boss, where are we going now?" asked driver Feng Jun. Originally, Lin Feng's full-time driver was Li Rui, but now that Li Rui's right hand is disabled and he can no longer be a driver, he can only let another bodyguard, Feng Jun, be Lin Feng's full-time driver.
driver.
Lin Feng tapped his fingers. He wanted to walk around the street and let beautiful women like Sharapova from foreign countries see the Chinese New Year. Unfortunately, the street was "deserted" and there was nothing else except people.
.Although these people are all beautiful and well-dressed, when you see them, you feel like you are seeing Manhattan in New York. Is this still China? Is this different from the United States?
"Hey, I think it's better to go back and play mahjong. Let's have hot pot and mutton boil first, and then play mahjong all night." Avril screamed in disappointment, but when it came to mahjong, Avril's eyes lit up. Last night
, he lost miserably. He wants to win back today.
"Good suggestion, let's go back to Mahjong!" Sharapova was completely disappointed with the Chinese New Year. However, she was very interested in Mahjong. She also knew that after the New Year, she would have a competition.
, I’m afraid I’ll have to wait until next year if I want to play mahjong again. So, take advantage of these few days to indulge your addiction.
Lin Feng twitched his face a few times, and then shook his head helplessly. Is playing mahjong the only thing left to do during the Chinese New Year? Of course, mahjong is also the quintessence of China, one of the 5,000-year cultural heritage, and has now gone to the world. As long as there are Chinese
Mahjong is played everywhere, not only played by Chinese people, but also by foreigners. But is this something to be proud of?
After returning home, everyone got busy together and soon had hotpot mutton. After a delicious meal, everyone started to do what almost all Chinese people do on the first day of the first lunar month - build the Great Wall.
Lin Feng still did not participate in the war. For Lin Feng, mahjong is just entertainment and can be played occasionally. It really makes Lin Feng play for so many hours. Lin Feng really knows how to jump. Compared with galloping in mahjong,
Lin Feng even enjoys competing in shopping malls with the world as the stage.
Of course, Lin Feng does not plan to work during this Chinese New Year. During this Chinese New Year, Niu has three days off. Lin Feng naturally needs to take a rest. However, just because Lin Feng does not work does not mean that Lin Feng will be free. Today Sha
Lapova's disappointment in Chinese culture greatly touched Lin Feng. Lin Feng hoped to do something for the Chinese nation in terms of culture.
New Year, atmosphere, dragon lantern dance, stilt walking... Lin Feng thought about the key words of the New Year, and gradually came up with ideas in his mind.
At this moment, the disappointment with the New Year atmosphere on Weibo has also become the focus of complaints from Chinese netizens.
