    The old man looked very anxious, so Chu Chen immediately asked Uncle Wu and Zhou Wenping to borrow five thousand yuan. Then the two parties completed the transaction, and the old man verified the authenticity of the money and left in a hurry.  However, a wise man must not have the intention of harming others, nor must he have the intention of guarding against others. Chu Chen did not forget to ask the old man to sign a transaction agreement. After all, there are many evil things in the antique industry, and he did not want to spend the New Year's Day and still get involved.  What troublesome thing happened.  Next, the three of them drank tea and chatted. Soon it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon. Considering that today was New Year's Eve, Chu Chen asked everyone to tidy up and prepare to officially take the annual holiday.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:  Chu Chen and others also had to check the relevant things in the store, especially the safety aspect, and they could not be careless. In this way, it was not until nearly five o'clock that Chu Chen said goodbye to Zhou Wenping and drove home with Uncle Wu.  .  ¡­¡­¡­¡­ February 11th, New Year¡¯s Eve.  After breakfast, not long after, the old man and the old lady came over. Of course, when the two old men came over, a security check was definitely indispensable.  Next, the Chu Chen brothers and sisters began to busy pasting couplets and hanging lanterns, creating a joyful scene.  Today¡¯s couplet Chu Chen did not go to the market to buy it like previous years, but wrote it in cooperation with the old man. The content of the couplet was chosen by Chu Chen, and the words were written by the old man.  The old man also likes calligraphy. He learned calligraphy from Wang Xizhi.  I added my own style to it, which looks like handwriting.  It's flowing and flowing, and it's quite impressive. People who know the art can't help but say "good!" after reading it.  Speaking of which, Chu Yongning¡¯s love of calligraphy was also influenced by the old man.  The couplets were placed in the right place, and Chu Chen admired the couplets from a distance that exuded the rich fragrance of ink. The first couplet was: "The lucky star shines brightly on the whole family."  The second line is: The house is full of spring glory.  Horizontal comment: Spring is full of joy.  This year Chu Chen¡¯s family is reunited, so this couplet is just right for the occasion.  Not only was Chu Chen satisfied with this couplet, but so was everyone else.  At noon, everyone just ate something and then got busy again. There were many people today, so we had to make more dumplings, so.  Relying on his own strength, Chu Chen went to the kitchen and picked up a kitchen knife and started to chop the dumpling fillings.  After chopping the meat filling and other fillings, it took almost an hour to chop the dumpling fillings and put them into basins.  If Sister-in-law Ji comes to chop it, it may not be ready for two hours.  Then Chu Chen picked up the basin and wanted to knead the noodles again.  When Mrs. Ji saw it, she hurriedly said: "Master, you don't have to knead the noodles. It doesn't matter whether it's soft or hard. You can't control the heat, so just rest. I'll make it later." Chu Chen chopped the stuffing.  when.  The uncle and the others also came over one after another, waiting for Chu Chen to finish chopping the stuffing.  Zhao Yunlin, her eldest aunt and others walked into the kitchen and started working with Sister-in-law Ji.  When he walked to the living room, Chu Chen saw Chu Junfeng and several other juniors fighting against landlords. It was probably because Chu Junfeng was good at poker and had good luck, so he had piled a lot of chips in front of him, and the others were  They all have a sad expression.  Chu Yulan saw Chu Chen coming over and hurriedly waved to him: "Brother, hurry up and replace me. I am already defeated." Chu Junfeng said proudly: "Achen Antiques and Gambling Stone are really powerful.  , But in this game of cards, in our family, I am second, so no one dares to say that I am first!" "Oh! Then our subordinates are really good!" Chu Chen laughed.  "Chu Jiayan, please step aside!" With that, Chu Jiamei squeezed into her seat.  Chu Jiayan was speechless and said: "I have only played two rounds of cards, why should I go aside?" Chu Jiamei said with disdain: "You don't even look at how bad your cards are.  If you continue to fight, you will lose to Java. " "Most of these chips will be lost by you, okay!" Chu Jiayan said angrily.  Chu Jiamei did not argue, and directly said to the scoundrel: "If you have the ability, come and squeeze me!" Everyone couldn't laugh or cry when they saw such a scoundrel like Chu Jiamei. Although Chu Jiayan was furious, he was also powerless for a while. After all, he  As a boy, he really couldn't do what Chu Jiamei did just now, and if he really had to do that, he would be the unlucky one in the end.  "No wonder the saying goes that only women and villains are difficult to raise. The ancients really didn't deceive me!" Chu Jiayan said angrily.  Chu Jiamei smiled proudly, and then said loudly: "Deal the cards, deal the cards, let me fight against everyone!" Having said that, the next card game made Chu Jiamei frown again.?, because after playing five games, she found that only her second brother Chu Junfeng and her had lost. Chu Chen and Ye Liang had both won. Seeing that her chips were getting smaller and smaller, she felt very anxious.  But after that, her poker skills and luck were obviously not very good. After playing a few more games, she actually only had two chips in front of her, so she immediately lost her cards and pushed Chu Jiayan up again.  However, what made Chu Jiamei feel strange was that Chu Jiayan's luck turned out to be super good. Not only did she win back the chips she lost just now, but she also made a lot of money.  At the end of the game, Chu Junfeng smiled bitterly and said: "Okay, I take back what I said before. Third, your poker skills are much better than mine! I don't know how your brain grew!" Hearing this,  Several people present didn't know what was going on, and for a moment they all felt a little incredible that Chu Chen could "return" the chips to them without knowing it.  Chu Chen chuckled and said: "What's so good about my card skills? It's obviously Jiayan and Xiaoliang's good luck!" Chu Junfeng laughed and said: "Up to now, you and I are the only losers. Do you think it's so good?"  Is it a coincidence? Come on, Jiayan and Xiaoliang, how much have you won?" Just as Chu Jiayan and Ye Liang were counting their chips, Chu Jiamei jumped in front of Chu Chen and said angrily.  : "Third brother, you helped Jiayan bully me!" Chu Chen said with a smile: "Then why are you only allowed to bully Jiayan and not me?" "Jiayan is my younger brother!" Chu Jiamei was a little bit  Said as a matter of course.  "Obviously I'm the elder brother!" Chu Jiayan muttered after hearing this.  Chu Chen chuckled and said, "Since you said that, then as your brother, can't I bully you?" "But you are the brother. How can you bully your sister!" Chu Jiamei said with a pout.  Chu Chen said: "No matter what happens, you are reasonable, right? By the way, I heard that even the teacher bullied you in school! But I am not your teacher, so I will bully you.  Besides ignoring me, tell me what you can do!" "I" Chu Jiamei was speechless for a moment.  Chu Chen said with some seriousness: "Jiamei. As a brother, I would like to advise you today. From now on, you have to change your character. You have to play around at home. Why are you still so unscrupulous outside? If you do this, you will let others do it.  What¡¯s your impression of our family?¡± ¡°It¡¯s that teacher who is bad!¡± Chu Jiamei defended.  "What about your classmates?" Chu Chen asked again.  Chu Jiamei lowered her head and remained silent.  After a while, Chu Chen said: "Okay. Today is New Year's Eve, so I'll leave it at that. Think about it for yourself. Don't regret it after you suffer a big loss because of your character."  Having said this, he took out the gift he had prepared long ago.  They were given to three children respectively.  The gifts for all three are the same. In addition to the red envelope, there is also a pendant that matches them.  The pendant is made of Laokeng glass and would be worth more than one million dollars on the market, but they don't know the price of jade.  I just thought the thing was very beautiful, so I accepted it happily.  Looking at Chu Jiamei, she smiled again.  Chu Chen also sighed secretly. The reason why he nodded at Chu Jiamei today for the same reason was because he heard Chu Yulan talk about Chu Jiamei last night.  In the past, Chu Chen just thought that Chu Jiamei was a little naughty, but he didn't know that Chu Jiamei had actually become a big sister in school. Not only did she bully her classmates, but she even refused to pay the teacher's credit. And everyone because of her second uncle Chu  Yongping's relationship couldn't be helped by her.  Chu Chen's second aunt usually beat, scolded and educated her, but everyone knows what a child in the rebellious period of youth is like. Originally, the second aunt wanted Chu Jiamei to transfer to the capital, but she was afraid that Chu Jiamei would transfer to the capital.  After graduating from school, she didn't study well, so she thought to herself that she was about to graduate anyway, so she was going to recite the tightening curse for Chu Jiamei after graduation.  In fact, Chu Chen said that education matters should be dealt with sooner rather than later. Even if Chu Jiamei is allowed to stay in the next level, it is not a big deal. However, he is a junior after all, so he can only make a suggestion on this matter and take the opportunity.  Educate.  This is also the reason why he did what he did just now.  It now seems that Chu Jiamei doesn¡¯t know how much she has heard. If she still goes her own way, she will suffer a big loss sooner or later.   As night fell, firecrackers gradually sounded outside. Chu Chen turned on all the lights in the house, and the whole villa was brightly lit in the night.  ¡°It¡¯s time to have New Year¡¯s Eve dinner¡­¡± There were two tables today, but they were both large round tables, which looked more lively.   When the banquet started, the old man called Chu Chen to his side and asked with a smile: "Xiaobao, you have been in the capital for a few years. Do you know our New Year customs?" Chu Chen said with a smile: "  How could I not know this" "After the thirty-year-old Beijing people have finished their New Year's Eve dinner, the most important thing on the first day of the Lunar New Year is to start paying New Year greetings. They usually just sit down and leave. On the second and third day of the Lunar New Year, they finish worshiping the God of Wealth and shopping.  After the temple fair, I began to hope to enjoy some family fun.  So, I went to visit my relatives who were relatively close to me.  ¡° Visiting relatives, also called visiting relatives in Beijing, the core issue is to adjust the relationship between people and emphasize the friendship between people.  This kind of visiting relatives will not just sit around like a New Year visit.  They usually stay at relatives' houses from morning to night. Not only do they have to eat, many of them also chat and play cards together.  Relatives will also be more than happy to entertain you and will not be unhappy about it.  When visiting relatives in old Beijing, it is common to bring gifts to relatives.  A lot of thought goes into preparing gifts.  If you want to visit an elderly person, the gifts should generally take into account the elderly person's preferences, and you will choose food that the elderly person can chew.  Generally, a snack box is given, which contains eight large and small pieces of pastries, hibiscus cakes, saqima, etc.  In addition, we also pay attention to sending fruits, mainly apples and citrus.  Because pear is a homophonic word for "li", pears cannot be given as New Year gifts.  In addition, you can also send scented tea.  If the other party has children at home, they will buy them some snacks such as fireworks, lanterns or mixed dried fruits.
